SERVlCEABLE SCHOOL DRESSES,
Pretty Combinations and Tasty Orna-
mentations.

Pretty Combinations and Tasty Orna-
mentations.
For girls who attend school, wooden
dresses made with the guimpe are pretty
and serviceable For instance, a plaid
of navy blue with some red in might
have guimpe Of the plaid and an
other of plain blue; or if there is not
enough goods for the plaid guimpe
make one of plain blue and one of red,
with the sleeves Of the two cut differ
emily. In this way the appearance OF.
the dress can be greatly changed and
without trouble, and as the sleeves are
always the part that gives out first the
two guimpes will be found to pay. In
some cases white flannel guimpe will
be useful in giving plain school gown
more dressy appearance for afternoon
or evening wear.
A pretty way to make the dress re-
ferred to is to make the front in two
pieces, the front edge of each piece pass
ing from the shoulder to little beyond
the center of the waist line, thus over
tapping each other at the waist line,
and showing the guimpe in a V shape,
reaching half or two-thirds Of the way
from the throat to the waist. The front
edge of each of the front pieces should
be cut the straight way of the goods, to
avoid drawing or stretching, and bring
ing the under arm and waist line seams
on the bias This is a peculiarly pretty
way to make plaid, and with plaid
goods the skirt should be bias too.
Another becoming dress for most girls
from four to eight years of age, is made
with full skirt and blouse waist, and a
short round jacket which reaches to the
waist line but not to the bottom Of the
blouse. This jacket usually has sleeves
reaching two-thirds of the distance from
the shoulder to the elbow, though some
times they are made longer A very
pretty combination for this suit is a
dark red cashmere dress and black vel
vet jacket; plaid suit with jacket
made of plain goods to match, is equal
ly attractive.-The Housekeeper.

FACTS WORTH KNOWING.
How to Treat Wound In the Foot
Caused by a Nail or Piece of Tin.

How to Treat Wound In the Foot
Caused by Nail or Piece of Tin.
There is no specific harm in an old
nail; it is not because it is old or that it
is rusty that wound from it is likely
to produce tetanus or lockiaw. The same
may be said of an injury from stepping
upon old tin or upon wooden stub
which has lain in or on the ground for
some time The danger comes from a
specific germ which is likely to be pres
ent in the earth and which has infected
these articles. These germsif taken in
to the body are propagated in the blood
and will bring on lockjaw If allowed to
take their course. Horses and other
animals are liable to have this disease
and one way the germs are scattered
about is from the clearing up of barn
yards.
In case Of accident of this kind, the
first thing to do is to remove the foreign
substance, the nail or whatever it is, as
soon as possible and encourage rapid
elimination Of the poisonous matter.
Cleanse the wound with warm water and
then with a five per cent solution Of
carbolic acid-about half drachm OF
carbolic acid to an ounce Of water will
make a solution little stronger
than five per cent, but none
too strong to use in such a
case. Have this solution just as hot as
it can be borne and soak the foot in it
1nnr anOuc,b IN ,,,olya euro tho oarrop a ra
killed; an hour or two is none too long
If the wound is very deep. If cut it
may next need few stitches. 1t must
then be dressed in such way as to ex-
clude germs from the air Disinfectant
cotton, that which is boiled in a solu-
ton of bi-chloride of mercury corrosive
sublimate), and then dried, is the best
if it can be procured. Cover with oil
silk and bandage neatly with the expec-
tation of leaving it untouched until
healed.
II disinfectant cotton is not at hand,
take plenty of clean white rags and boil
them in a solution of carbolic acid; dry
them in the oven to prevent possible
contamination, wrap tho wound closely
in these and bandage as before directed.
The wound should heal perfectly in a
week or ten days without further atten-
tion. If no disinfectant solution can be
procured, cleanse the wound thoroughly
in water which has been we'll boiled and
allowed to cool to such degree that it
can be borne. Do not cool by pouring
water which has not been boiled. BY
boiling the water is sterilized. DR. j.

RULE OF CONTRARIES.
Tho World Is Populated Largely by Roll
Ing Stones.


The world is to large extern. popu-
la tied by rolling stones" Sometimes
stone that is quite willing to roll is
stuck by force of circumstances on some
rocky ledge which prevents its further
travels, but the inclination to roll is Just
as good an example of the prevalence
of the rule of contraries as the
action itself l believe fully one-half
of the civilized persons who have lived
in the world have gone down to their
graves under the impression that they
had utterly and entirely mistaken their
vocations.
Just as the man who, after selecting a
seat in car with forethought and de-
liberation, finds that after all, he has
made mistake and that the seat oppos-
tie is the one he should have chosen, so
men discover that their talents run in any
other groove rather than the one
they have selected or into which the
force of circumstances has driven them
The soldier feels that his name would
have been a household word If only he
had been an actorI the actor feels that
if he had followed the profession OF
arms he would have been Wellington,
Napoleon or Grant; the lawyer feels
that if. only he had escaped the petty
drudgery of the legal profession he
would have achieved a grand success
whether as an actor or a soldier. The
man who feels that he is oocu plying the
exact niche that nature created for him
is rarity, veritable black swan.
While, Of course, there is ludicrous
side to this prevalent rule of contraries,
it has its disadvantages. The man who
feels that he has mistaken his vocation
in life is generally disconnected indi-
vidual. The woman who sees too late
! that she has been tied to the wrong
man is apt to make mistakes in her con-
duct Of affairs, and in fact this longing
for what can not be is mistake. The
tempting prospect which seems so easy
of access is but mirage, and between
it and you stretch vast arid deserts,
where you are much more likely to fail
than on your present path, whatever
the obstacle in it. The right kind OIL
man is he of whom Horace sings: Jus
tum &C tenacem propositi. Saturday

1t is said of Prince George when at sc hoo
at Eaton, getting short of funds, he would
write to the Queen, asking her il she would
not 'stake him for lttle," always receiving
the same sort OF answer-a kind, grand
motherly letter, full of good advice to save
his money and live within his means, but in
closing no funds AS it turned out it was not
the funds he wanted, but his grandmama' s
autograph, which, detaching from the letter,
he could always sell for a good smart sum,
much in excess of what she might be expected
to send even if she were benevolent old lady,
which is not her reputation.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1891-12-08
CHARLES FREDERICK CRISP.

Crisp and carried with him several of his followers. The vote was: Crisp 100 Mills 94, Springer 13, McMillin 19, Stevens 1.
 The next six ballots were almost alike, Mir. Crisp on the 29th having 104, and MT. Mills 94.
 Before the calling of the roll on the Both ballot was begun, Mir. McMillin, after a hasty consultation with som 6 of his adherents, entered tho chamber of the House and announced his with drawal from the contest. The an. nouncment came like 8 thunderbolt from a clear sky, and for a moment the members present were taken back. MT. McMillin made his announcement in a speech of about five minutes. He said he withdrew in the interest of party harmony.
 When the full import of MT. McMil- lin's meaning broke ou the mem bers, there was a wild shout that expressed appreciation, relief and exultation all in one. The Mills men were jubilant and the Crisp mon evidently thought they had equal cause for joy, for they joined in the cheering with will. MT. McMillin did not express preferences for any candidate, and there was an anx- ious look on the faces of the Mills. a nd Crisp men as the vote proceeded.
 Then the McMillin men divided be- tween the two leaders, Eseven going to Crisp and eleven to Mills. MT. McMillin also voted for Mills.
 When the last name in the 30th bal lot had been called, it was found that Crisp had 113 votes-lacking one of nomination. Before the result of the ballot was announced MT. Springer, who had been waiting in the lobby, en- tered the caucus and called out to Chairman Holman: q desire to have my name called"
 This was the signal for an outburst of applause and when the clerk had called Mir. Springer's name and he responded, ''I vote for Charles Crisp" the Crisp men broke loose in one wild unre- strained yell. They mounted on desks and chairs and yelled at the top of their voices. Books, handkerchiefs and pieces of paper were thrown into the air and for a few moments pandsmonium | reigned. Crisp men hugRed each other | in joy, and shouted out words of con. | graduation that were lost in the wild | uproar of voices.
 Out in the ante-room, where Judge Crisp was being surrounded by his sup porters, who were not members, the news was brought, and cheer after cheer went up from the crowd, and 1t was taken up by those inside the Crisp headquarters. Judge Crisp took the news of his election quietly, but those with him did not; they emulAted the doings of the Crisp men in the House and jumped on chairs and other articl es of furniture. The withdrawal of MT Springer caused some change in the vote that was about to be announced. Four of MT. Springer'S supporters voted fol Crisp, who, when the vote had been an nounced, was compelled to make g speech.
 Representative Kerr, of Pennsylvania, was then nominated for Clerk; ex- Rep resentative Yoder, of Ohio, for Sergeant at-Arms; ex-Representative Turner. O New York. for Doorkeeper, and Rev Mir. Milburn for Chapl ain.
 The caucus then adjourned.

Not Yet Identihed-SOuthwOr tn to be Ex

Not Yet Identihed-SOuthwOrt to be Ex-
 amin led as to His Sanity.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 8.-The head of the man who threw the dynamite with the intention of killing Russell Sage is in a glass jar in little room back of tho keepers office at the Morgue. The fea- lures have become distorted. What re- mains of the mans body still lies in the long, dark, dead room in the rear. A single gas jet throws it's yellow light n the pine box, marked: "A man Resi- dencs, 69 Broadway" There is nothing there now but leg and an arm. The pieces of tho trunk are wrapped in @ linen shroud. The battered hat which the man wore still lies at the foot of tho pine box.
 A number of the visitors stopped to apologize for their curiosity as they pa ssed back through the office. One man said he came because he knew MT. Sage by sight, and another one said he naturally took an interest in it be- cause he had friend who had been cut of the explosion.
 Two women called and asked permis- sion to see the head, but permis issio on to do so was refused.
 The head is strung to the top of the jar by string run through the crown of tho scalp. The first man who came to identify the head was James NJ. Pollock, the bookkeeper for Gabe Cases place at Mount St. Vincent Pollock had heard that the head looked like that of Prof. A. A. Denton; . crank who called himself the ghost of George Washington, and said the happies st moment of his life would be when csr. tain rich mon would be strung at tho arm of the Goddess of Liberty.
 MT. Pollock had known the m an, and brought a number ot photographs with which to identify him. There as un occasionally 8 strong likeness, but in ( few details the heads were radically different, and the notification was not established.
 Identification is becoming more iff. cult every hour.
 Southworth, the alleged partner of the dead crank, was taken to Bellevue Hospital yesterday to be examined as to his sanity.
 In searching the effects of Southworth Inspector Byrnes found just such a badge as that which had been worn by Lecturer Horne's strange visitor. A let ter from the comptroller of the Prince of Wales was also found in South worth's possession. He, as a Free and Acce pted Mason, had evidently written the Prin ce of Wales for money.
