years ago DR.. w. G. A. Bonwill happened
to notice in the Continental hotel the

The Commercial Value of the Investigator


The German manufacturer does not en-
ploy a chemist who has only learned by
rote the wisdom gained by others; he does
not ask TO be told that which he already
knows. He seeks rather TO push forward
into new fields; 10 excel his competitors
more by intelligence than by brute force,
and to gain growing supremacy in pref
ereuce TO Il mere victory for the moment
This practical policy, the outgrowth of in
telleCtual culture, has made Germany a
dangerous rival TO all other countries in
those departments OF industry which rest
upon scientific foundations. Applied sci
ence cannot exist until there is the science
TO apply. and where the latter is most IA
vored the industrial development is sure to
be most perfect.
This lesson is one which the United
States must learn more thoroughly than
heretofore If it hopes 10 hold its own in
the front rank OF manufacturing nations
In a few OF our universities the truth is
already realized; but ia TOO many Ameri-
can schools the so called practical" view
prevails. Under the latter teaching be
comes routine, and the student. while
learning elahorately that which IS known,
is not taught how TO discover. He has
little or 40 training in the art Of solving
unsolved problems, and that art IS the
handspring OF modern industrial growth

Have you ever seen a cat catch mouse
and hand it over to her kittens, to teach
them how to killS Well, a tiger is merely
a big cat, and she teaches her cubs almost
in the same way, only not with mice. An
East Indian officer witnessed scene of
this kind: An old bull bison had been the
victim, and the tigress had disabled him
by breaking one of his right fore legs just
below the knee. She never touched the
throat, the usual place of Selling, but al
lowed the cubs to worry the disabled ami
NAL The eye witness relates that the cubs
acted exactly like kittens, advanced and
retreatcd and worried the victim, all the
time moving and smelling, while the
tigress sat near by watching their antics
and occasionally giving the bison blow
with her paw when he showed undue
activity. The officer shot the tigress and
one of her cubs when his curiosity had
been gratfied, and he remarks that he
could not help thinking, Suppose it had
been "A human being on whom the cubs
were practicng?" The suppostion is an
awful one, but it has doubtless been real
lied many times.

a friend OF the writer owns a monkey
which answers to the name of Jocko.
The children of the house and Jocko are
boon companions, and of a summer after
noon enjoy frolic together upon the
lawn. One day some one threw match
down, and the grass ignited, making lit
tie blaze. Jocko saw it, stopped and
looked, then glanced all around, and see
ing piece of plank not far off ran for it,
crept cautiously to the fire, all the time
holding the plank as shield between him
self and the flame, then threw the plank
on the fire and pressed it down and ex-
tinguished it. What child could have rea-
soned better and done more? Although,
perhaps, no danger could have come from
the fire, still no one knows what the result
might have been, and the monkey evident
ly believed that prudence is the better part
of valor.

OF Interest to Chilly People.

With the mercury in the sitting room at
6S dogs. Fair. one ought to be comfortably
warm, according to a recent authority on
hygienc topics. But, to quote the same
writer, there are women who suffer from
chilliness most of the time from fall to
spring, and who therefore live as much as
they can in rooms heated to so and 90 dogs
They object to much Undertaking, and
make slight change in summer and winter
body wear. OF course they are always hay
ing colds and illnesses of various kinds,
which plenty of flannels would entirely pre-
vent. Some assert that flannels irritate the
skin and cannot be endured next to it. If
not, silk or cotton garment may be worn
next to the skin, and flannel over that.
Vigorous friction of the entire surface of
the body before going to sleep and upon
rising from sleep is an excellent thing to
keep one warm.
Starchy food sugar and fats, all articles
containing carbon in abundance, are good
foods for cold weather. Pastries cake and
ought to he in season. Candy in cold
weather is grateful to the palate and far
less injurious, if injurious, than in warm
weather. Instead of burning carbon in the
stove, put it into the stomach; put on
clothing till chilliness ceases, exercise till
the body is all in IA glow, keep the air of
the rooms fresh and pure, and the liabili-
ties to sickness that makes winter Il season
to be dreaded will be largely reduced.

ALL AROUND THE HOUSE.
New Fashions and Fancies i'm Cushions
and Bags of Various Kinds.

Some of the newest cushions are circular
in shape and made of soft flounces, gath
cred to produce a floral effect. Occasion
ally these are arranged in graduated
shades, the darkest in the center. Many
cushions are covered with puckered silk,
having square in the center of contrast
ing color pulled into diamonds. Some of
the new cushions are covered with printed
silks, and have gathered frill of plain
color
For the top of chairs two fat square
cushions are united with bows at the cor
ners, so that they fall on either side of the
chairback; they are generally covered with
art silk. There is another shape like an
ivy leaf, and small scent sachets also take
the form of ivy leaves. Many cushions are
fan shaped, while others are oblong
Some work bags are made in embroidery
applique on silk which is drawn together
at the mouth and finished with a wide
heading. In another shape the bag starts
from three or four circles of silk puf1ings
like the petals of a flower. This same
shape is applied to bags for holding
opera glasses. One of the prettiest bags
has a cardboard bottom the bag, which
fits the glass, being made of embroidered
silk and having a deep heading drawn
in with cord

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.

The Usual Form for Notes of Acceptance
or Regret in Answering Invitations.
Notes of acceptance or regret should be
written briefly but courteously, and in the
same person as that in which the invita-
ton to be answered has been sent, says a
writer on manners who is a member OF
New York's most exclusive circles; either
Dear Mrs. Green; 1t gives me great pleas
ure," etc, or "Mr. and Mrs Brown accept
with pleasure Mr.. and Mrs. Green's very
kind invitation for Tuesday evening"" etc.
In writing or answering invitations, or
even letters, it is considered bad form to
use figures instead of writing the num-
bers out. Invitations should always be
answered in the present tense.
Invitations on a visiting card to gen.
eral entertainment require no answer, I'M
less one j. particularly requested.
In declining an invitation polite excuse
for absence should always be given. For
instance, Mr.. and Mrs. Brown regret eX-
tremely that previous engagement pre-
vents them from accepting Mr.. and Mrs.
Green's kind invitation to dinner, Tues
day" etc. or, whatever the reason may he,
enueavor to express it politely il the note
sent in reply.

Paner versus WoOden Doors.

Wood fiber seems to be in strong de
mand, and its applications seem to be in
creasing, too. In Hamburg an immense
hotel, with its facade and other important
parts composed of paper, has recently been
erected Wood pulp is mixed with bronze
powder aniline, or some other color for
holdings. Wood pulp is also being used
as the basis of a substitute for mortar in
covering and finishing walls. 1t is said to
be harder, and, when applied to woodwork
in thin coat, to render it both fire and
water proof Doors made of paper are said
to be an improvement over those made of
wood Altogether there is a prospect for
the utilization of some of the surplus wood
fiber which will presently come upon the
market

How to Take Care of Good shoes.

1t is most annoying to 4; lady, after hav
ing paid first class price for a first class
article, and after having worn it but IA few
times, to find it look quite shabby. This
is often the case with boots. and she thinks
there is nothing left for her but to have
them treated with dressing of some sort or
other which will brighten them for the
time, only to become more unsightly each
time it is used upon them Now, it is
affirmed by one who has devoted careful
attention to the best care of shoes and
boots that all that is necessary when n kid
boot is new, and has turned blue, or in any
way lost its polish is TO black the discol-
ored parts with common black ink let it
dry, and rub off all the superfuous ink
with a soft piece of cloth or rag, then take
the white of an egg and beat it well up till
it is quite thin, but not frothy. This can
be put on all over with the finger but, like
all dressings, should be used very sparing-
ly, not that it will hurt the leather, only
that by putting it on thin, as it is trans
parent, the grain of the leather, which is
its beauty, is left visible This will be
found the brightest and cleanest polish
that can possibly be got, and dust can be
removed with IA soft brush.
One of the principal points in cleaning
using the dressing, and then to use rs lit
tie dressing as possible, or none at all, if
the boots can be made TO look well with
out.
Patent leather is very delicate, more es-
pecially when new; in cold weather just a
slight pressure will crack it, and for this
reason the wearers of it should always put
new patent leather boots or shoes before
the fire-only for short time and not too
close This makes the leather very plant,
and prevents it from cracking. When on
the foot for the first time patent leather
boots should be rubbed to the shape of the
foot with the hand; this will block the
leather, and it is not so likely to wrinkle
and crack in wear When patent leather
boots and shoes are getting dull, white of
egg will be found best for them.

The Origin of Jim Crnw.

In his "Curiosities of the American
Stage" Mr. Hutton tells that it was
Thomas ID. Rice, the founder of Ethiopian
minstrelsy, who discovered Jim Crow in a
livery stable in Louisville. The actor
could look into the stable yard from the
window of his dressing room and watch
the movements of an old slave who was
employed by the proprietor to do all sorts
of odd jobs. As was the custom among
negroes he had assumed his masters name
and called himself Jim Grow. He was
much deformed, which gave him painful
but at the same time ludicrous limp He
was in the habit of grooming queer tune
to which he had applied words of his own
At the end of each verse he gave a pecul
lar step, rocking de heel" in the manner
since so general among his imitators. and
these were the words of his refrain:
Wheel about, turn about,
Do js so
An cherry time l wheel about
jump Jim Crow.
Rice closely watched this unconscious
performer, and recognized in him a charac-
ter entirely new to the stage.

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.
Are Athletics Needed by Brain Workers,
or DO They Shorten Life?

or DO They Shorten Life?
Apropos of some CONCENTRATIONS over the
careers of Cardinal Newman and John
Boyle O'Reilly lately INDUCED in by con-
temporary, The Medical Record, says: The
former was a frail, slight man, of infrm
constitution, but despite this he lived to a
very advanced age; the latter was a man Of
splendid physique, who kept his system in
training hy physical exercise, athletic
sports, and 10 lowed all the suggestions of
modern physical CULTURE. Yet he died in
the prime of life. Shall we not then live
quiet, ascetic lives, ignoring the body and
cultivating the spirit, or shall we cultivate
both body and mindp
The latter course is the one so much
commended today, yet it is not a sure pass
port to longevity, as many cases prove. In
fact, the brain worker is better if he lives
a regular, temperate life, and pays no at
tenton to the development of his muscles
A little walk, some fresh air and sound
sleep are all he needs. Some people, to be
sure, can he athletes and do brain work
also, but it is not the rule. A sound mind
should have sound body, but it does not
need herculean muscles. The best athletic
work is done by growing boys and adde's
cents, who have an extra supply of vital
ty. When they have matured, and under
taken the responsible work of life, they
speedily drop out of the championships.
And the lesson we would draw from the
opposite gases brought up by Life is that
athletics are not needed by brain workers,
and WILL if carried to excess, shorten life
rather than lengthen it.
