WOMEN OF REPUBLICS ARE NOT

They Propose to Put Up a Monument to

Women a Chance to Become Govern

[Snecial Corresnondence.1

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Republics may
be ungrateful, but the women of republics
are not. The women who are employed in
the government departments here have set
out to build monument TO Gen. Spinner,
and they will build it. Why is Gen. Spin

the first public official to employ women
in the work Of the government. When
Gen. Spinner became treasurer of the
United States, quarter of century ago,
Uncle Sam employed no women, except

COMING TO AMERICA

New YORK Feb. 9.-Collector Edmunds,
of Bird yeport, Conn, was ct the New
York custom house yesterday to consult
with Collector Erhardt upon matter of
Importance. The Connecticut official, who
is not long in his Office, brought the news
that the Sir Titus Salts company, limited
of Manchester. England, manufacturers Of
fine plushes, are about to abandon their
business in Europe and transfer their
plant TO this country, because they must
buck against the Mckinley tariff A large
part Of the plushes Of the company were
exported to the United States under the
former rates of duty, but as the new
duties under the Mckinley law are
practically prohibitory, the British con-
cern has determined to remove its manu-
featuring plant TO the United States.
They have leased the old Howe Sewing
Machine works i'm Bridgeport, which have
been idle for several years, and as soon as
they get their machinery shipped from
England and set up in their new quarters
will take on about 400 workmen and re-
sumo the manufacture of plushes. They
expect to open in Bridgeport in a few
weeks, and will in short time give en-
ployment to over 600 hands Collector Ed
munds' business ia New York was to ask
Collector Erhardt to assign some expert

CLEANING coLoRED wooLENs.

Four ounces Of white CASTLE soap, four
ounces OF ammonia, two ounces of alcohol,
two ounces Of glycerine. Shave the soap
in one quart of water over tie fire. When
dissolved add four quarts Of rain water,
and when nearly cold the other ingredi-
ents. Bottle and keep in a cool place.
One cup of this mixture in two quarts Of
water will be sufficient for ordinary use.
Now lay the goods on an old sheet, and
iron rapidly aud lightly on the wrong
side, and then roll tightly on a curtain
pole or any round piece of wood. If this
is carefully done you do away with the
creases made by folding. For black silk

VERY EXPENSIVE DRUGS
Ounces of Phy sosffgmfne Would
Cost You 4I.SI0.O2O.


We would. perhaps, wonder less at the
fancy charges made by physicians and sur
geons who have rare aud exceptional cases
in charge if we only knew the cost ofdrugs
they use in special diseases. The army of
''the c%urions' will be interested in the
following list Of scarce and expensive
drugs:
Three. pound bottle of alkaioid of aconi-
tine, s485 50; quarter-ounce vial of chelld-
onoine aikaloid, a new drug used in skin
diseases, s~crofula and dropsy. sS8: cocaine,
about sf20 a pound. A 5 ounce bottle of
true eotoin'' will cost about $3.50 or about
$40 an ounce. Crystals of elaterin, a
poison used in cases of ~hydrophobia
and lockjaw, prepared from a plant called
South America Indian arrow, is worth
about s145 an ounce.
Among other costly drugs may be meL-
toned the following and the different
sized bottles and walls in which they a.e
sold: Agaracin, 4! ounces, s43.75; colc-
cynthin, 81 ounces, STA rs: conline hydro
chlorate, A. ounces, s96.45; cyclamin, 81
ounces, s54 o.; d~igitoxin, l! ounces, ss7. 40.
gentisin. u ounces, s91.15 heliotropir,
6 ounces, s61. 25; dydrastine, hydrochIorate,
81 ounces, s194So; ~papayotia, used as a
solvent for the diphtheric membrane, 13-
ounce bottle, per bottle, $3.50 80.
Besides the above there are various pre-
parations made from the Calabar bean the
cost OF which is amazing. They are chief
ly used in the diseases of the eye. One Is
called physostigmine alkaloid and costs
s137.50 per ounce vial. Pby~sostigmine
crystals are still more expensive, being
sold in ~24ounce bottles at aeost of s503. Is
Still another preparation ofCalabar is ply
sostigmine calieylate crystals, an aristo-
cratic drug that surely furnishes a fitting
capsheaf for this pyramid of costly stuffs,
which is furnished TO the customer who Is
able to pay st the reasonable charge Of

REACHING FOR THE HIGH NOTES.

If nature has endowed a singer with tie
power of producing high notes they will be
sung spontaneously, Signor Campanini
declares in Tho Ladies Home Journal for
February. Otherwise, they will neither
be agreeable in quality or tone. All sing
ers are not alike. Their voices are pitch
ed in different registers. Some are
pitched high, others Low, and a great
many medium. If a sins er, net naturally
endowed with a high register, attempts to
sing beyond his or her capacity by forcing
the voice, be or she is in danger Of j njuring
the voice. Any one possessed of a good
voice may by study and culture produce
higher notes than they otherwise could
hope to do, but no professor of music, 70
matter how eminent, ever created a voice
where it did not previously exist. Great
singers are born, not made. Many singers
have temporarily strained their voices By
trying to do too much. If the voice is
naturally high, no matter what the pitch
may be, the singing will be pleasant and
agreeable to the ear. Ii, however, a singer

similar to a man who endeavors to walk
up two steps at a time when he is only
able to make one. Il will prove ~ruinous.
