Buttermilk will take out mildew stains.
Water tanks or coolers in which drink
ing water is kept should be lined with
porcelain, and should be emptied and
thoroughly cleansed every morning be-
fore the fresh water and ice are put in.
For cut take powdered resin, pound
it very fine and spread or sift it over the
cut; wrap piece of soft linen around it
and wet it in cold water quite often.
This will prevent inflammation and sore
ness.
For severe hemorrhage from the nose
try holding the arms of the patient up
over the head for five minutes at the
time. A small piece of ice wrapped in
muslin and laid directly over the top of
the nose win usually give relief.
If the eyes are tired and inflamed from
loss Of sleep by sitting up late or long
travel, apply in the morning soft white
linen dripping with hot water-as hot as
you can bear it-laying the cloth upon
the lids. You will feel the eyes strong
and free from pain or distress in half an
hour.
A delicious dainty for hot-weather
lunches is asparagus salad. After the
stalks are boiled they should be plunged
at once into iced water, which prevents
them from losing their natural color and
also keeps them straight. Make dress

for vinegar generous amount of lemon

eaten under more delicate and appetiz-

Anew invention for the purpose Of
remedying projecting ears in child has
recently appeared. 1t is an open cap
made in the form of a light skeleton Of
elastic tapes, which converge over the
ears. 1t is worn at night, and presses
the ears gently down. Being tied under
the chin, it is said also to prevent the
habit Of sleeping with the mouth open,
which produces that sonorous breathing
lnelegantly termed snoring.
1t is not natural for young chicks to eat
soft food. Their gizzards are adapted to
breaking up and digesting hard sub
stances, and unless given something to
do this the power is lost. After the chick

food as can be given, and before that
cracked wheat should form at least part

be fed to growing chicks at any time.

Instinct stronger Than VIII.

There is a story about Darwin and
the snakes. He used to go into the
Geological gardens in London and,
standing by the glass case containing
the cobra di capello put his forehead
against the glass while the cobra struck
out at him. The glass was between
them; Darwin's mind was perfectly
convinced as to the inability of the
snake to harm him, yet he would al
ways dodge. Time after time he tried
it, his will and reason keeping him
there, his instinct making him dodge.
The instinct was stronger than both
will and reason. Superstition and a
belief in the supernatural is like in

know can't hurt us. New York Even

Scarcely day passes that one does not hear OF
men and women whom we picture as the perfection

the terrible disease, pneumonia.
Perhaps the greatest cause OF pneumonia in this
country Is the extreme difference in temperature
between the interiors of Offices and homes and the
outside air. So long as people consider it necessary
for their comfort to maintain hot-house tempera-
ture indoors when the mercury is very low outside
so long will pneumonia find victims.

The meeting OF Iron molders' Union. No

most interesting held since the strike began
nearly eleven months ago. 1t will be par
ticularly important, inasmuch as the trne
status of the lOng-standing battle of the
molders and cOre-makers against the Manu-
faeturers' and Machinists' Association will
be considered. The moders are much an
noyed over the statement that appeared in
morning paper that the Occidental Foundry
would continue to employ non-union
men, although it has withdrawn from
tue Manufacturers Association. At the
present time there is not single
nnn-union m0lder or coremaker at work IN
the foundry, the last five having been ship
ped back East yesterday. The molders
have received Information from Steger &
Kerr, the proprietors of the foundry, that
the establishment will hereafter be run
under union rules or not at all. One i'm
portant matter to be acted upon at the meet
ing tonight will, therefore, be the assign
ment OF some tv enty molders and three or
four coremakers for duty at the Occidental
when 1T resumes molding, which will prob
ably be to morrow.
just what particular bearing the first

"PERFECT WOMANHOOD."
Rev. DIR. Easton's Definition of Its
Requisite Qualities.

Rev. DR.. Easton's Definition of Its
Requisite Qualities.
Rev DR.. Thomas c. Easton addressed a
very large congregation at the Calvary
Presbyterian Church. on Powell and Geary
streets, last night, taking for his subject,
Perfect WomanhOod." He referred first
to the Biblical description Of the Temple at
Jerusalem. wherein the polished and
carved columns supporting the structure
are mentioned in comparison with the
daughters OF Israel. Continuing, he said ::
''EaTth's noblest thing is a perfect woman.
To be perfect our daughters must be as
polished as the temples pillars. They
must be accomplished, refined, graceful,
modest in dress and without affectation.
Like the pillars, they should not only be
polished but carved with noble nscrip-
tious. And education, as it is now to be
mad IN the present day, is the
carving. Education develops a wOman's
conscience. A constituencies woman is the
nearest approach TO a devil. Education is a
necessity. bit it must be moral. The
morals of all schools for girls should be
closely investigated by parents for some
areionly hOt-beds of vice. Religion must be
taught our girls. Skeptical women can be
tolerated, for they investigate and can give
reasons for their hesitancy, but infideI or
agnostc women are most dangerous in their
Infinite power TO influence others.
The speaker then named as instances Of
now women nave advanced IN education IN
the arts and in general influence during the
past century or so: Mrs. de Stael. Mary
SomeTwoGd George Eliot, Harriet Bercher
Stowe, Harriet Hosmer, Parepa Rosa, Patti
and Charlotte Cushman. The great in
huence OF women in missionary work was
also cited. The tendency of the present
age was TO consider woman more for her
brains than for her appearance. and they
were now in many instances on an intel
lectual equality with men. Women were
not dreaming away their lives at homo as
in the past but keeping fully up with the
times. They can now talk ON scientific
topics as well as the majority of men. The
mental equality OF man ard wife I'M
doubleday had the greatest influence on fu-
ture generations. Unless they were equal
the children in the second generation would
prove to be in large majority of cases, if
not insane, at least highly eccentric.
In closing Dr. EastOn defined the perfect
woman to be one who was religious. fuliv
educated, refined, home-loving, gentle and a
real helpmeet to man.

and the sand was removed and the well was
lined rs the workmen went down.
As soon as the body was found the news
was telegraphed TO the Coroner's Office and
wagon was dispatched after the dead man,
A simple view of his face showed ttat the
deceased must have suffered terrible agony
for moment. His former handsome face
was distorted, and every iineament of his
countenance indicated the terror that he
felt while surveying the falling walls with
no possibility of escape. He was just
thirty-fi five feet below the surface of the
ground when found. The body is now at

Francisco Seghesie's Body Is Still Under
the Sand.
From sunrise until after dark Yesterday
ten men were engaged in digging out Dr.
Qlina's well on Twenty-third avenue, near
Iont Lobos, which caved in Saturday and
buried Francisco Seghesie. Deputy Coroner
Brldgewood was at the scene all day with
the Morgue wagon awaiting the recovery of
TIE unfortunate mau's remains The shov-
elers worked with a will aud up to dark
they bad gone down distance of twenty
lonr feet The sand was frequen tly probed
with an iron rod, but the body could not be
located As the we'll is eighty feet in depth
there is possibility that tie caving sand
may have forced the body to the bottom.
In that event it may take two more DAYS
hard work before the remains are secured.
The rope which Seghese had fastened
around his body and up which: lie had at
tempted to climb when the sand first began
to cave still hangs from the windlass. Sew
eral attempts were made during the day to
draw up the rope, but without success
About q O'Clock last evening the remains
OF Srghesie were reached. The body was
found in sitting posture and clinging to
