Nice Points In LaunGrying.

The sun is great restorer and wi
fer, Dul it should not be allowed t
shine ON either feather pillows or under
linen that is to be worn again. Thes
are best aired in the shade. You ma.
sun the sheets from off the bed, bu
not the nightdresses. 1t will pla.
havoc also with the delicate mauv'
muslins which have been such favorite
this s11l22in2er, and permanently pale al
light blues and rose colored cottons
These must be dried in the shade. Some
laundresses will perhaps not under.
stand this without repeated and weekly
directions. Bathing suits and white
clothes can have as much of the sun on
the clothesline as possible, but white
fannels, if you would not have them
yellow, must be hung on the shady side
of the garden. In city yards there is al
ways time of day when there is shade
somewhere; in the broader bleaching
grounds Of country houses you will
often have to stretch the lines in the
shadow Of house or under tree to Sc
cure this.

a Volcanic Legend.

Chimborazo, the pride of the Andes,
at one time thought to be the highes,
mountain peak in the world, is now
reckoned as being only 21 ,424 feet above
sea level, which is certainly enough tc
give it an air of majesty if not of mys-
terry. But the natives of that region
have curious belief-a legend which
tells them that "Chimbo' was once a
full lille higher than he is at the present
time. When Pizarro invaded the Land
of the inca.s" Chimborazo reared his
majestic head between 25 900 and 10000
feet into the rarrfod atmosphere, but

Rr,t,.h Mom.np Doctors.

The British Medical association passed
resolution at its meeting last week ad
mitting women doctors to membership
The vote was on a motion to expunge
an article in the constitution providing
that "no female shall be eligible fol
election as a member cf the association
The mover of the resolution, DR.. Galton
said times had changed in the pas,
twenty years, and where in 1878, when
the article was adopted, there were only
eight women doctors in Great Britain,
there are now 1856. He said the battle
against women in the medical profession
was over, and they should extend the
hand Of fellowship to the women.
The resolution was carried by large
majority. The seconder OF the resolu-
ton wanted it amended to read in favor
of the admission of more women into
the profession. There are $50 women
students in the London school this year.
There are also two schools in Edinburgh,
two in Glasgow and one in Dublin

Admirable Training.

A man who has well deserved repu
tation for discovering admirable traits
in people was asked one day how he had
acquired the happy faculty.
cit isn't faculty" said the gentle
man, with a quiet smile. ''It is habit
and it sprang from the early training OF
a mother who always said, There K
good in every man, woman and child II
this world; you have only to look vel
to find it,"
.rA:s gentleman, as boy, was5Nne OF a
family of seven children. 1t was an un-
written law of the household that "peo.
pie" were only to be discussed at one
tine, namely, at the supper hour, when
the whole family was assembled. By
"paople" were meant private individ.
ua2s. Public characters, those who had
name and fame, were regarded as
things" to be talked of with books
music, games and other matters of In
terest at any time.
If any one had comments on friends
or acquaintances to make these Were
reserved f07- >>teatime. Then perfect
freedom of expression was allowed; but
it was well understood that tho porpose
of the talk was to find good points III
these under discussion and to throw as
thick veil of charity as possible over
their faults and failings.
It was surprising to see how speedily
the person who made an unfavorable
criticism was routed by the storm of
contrasting statements wEht.;.cu rattIed
g s5ous 5a5i4 ms mead. Wrong doing was never
made light of, but some good was sure
to be found and mentioned.
Wasn't there some danger of incul-
eating flattery and insincerity:" inquired
the listener whose first question had
called forth these facts.

Alexander's Death Mask.

When Hamlet said that Alexander
died, Alexander was buried, Alexander
returneth to dust, he overlooked the
fact that Alexander's dust, instead of
being converted into loan to stop beer
barrel, was preserved from corruption
by the process of en- barming and from
external injury by being cased in the
most nrecieas OF l2etais. Pettigrew, in
his History of Egyptian Mummies, says
of the death mask of Alexander that ''it
was sort of chase WORK, and of such a
nature that it could be applied so closely
to the skin as 70 preserve not only the
form Of the body, but also to give the
expression of the features to the coun-
tenance."
He does not quote his authority for
this statement. but it is unQuestionably
derived from the account of the death
and burial Of Alexander written by
Diodorus Siculus, who said: And first
a coffin of boaten gold was provided, so
wrought by the hammer as to answer 10
the proportions of the body. 1t was half
filed with aromatic spices, which served
as well to delight the sense as to prevent
the body from putrefaction. Then fol

the answer comes, "These are they who

THE TERMINUS.
| pursue this subject only one step
farther. What is the terminus? do
not care how fine road you may put
me on, want to know where it comes
out. My text declares it, ''The re-
deemed of the Lord come to Zion"
You know what Zion was. That was
the Kings palace. It was q mountain
fastness. It was impregnable. And so
heaven is the fastness of the universe.
No howitzer has long enough range to
shell those towers. Letal the batteries
of earth and hell blaze away; they can
rot break in those gates. Gibraltar was
taken; Sebastopol was taken; Babylon
fell; but those walls of heaven shall
never surrenier eitnei &c human or sa-
tanic besiegement The Lord God AL
mighty is the defense of it. Great cap
ital of the universe! Terminus of the
Kings highway!
DR.. Dick said that, among other
things, he thought in heaven we should
study chemistry and geometry and comic
sections. Southey thought that in heaven
he would have the pleasure of seeing
Chaucer and Shakespeare. Now DR..
Dick may have his mathematics for all
eternity, and Southey his Shakespeare.
Give me Christ and my ola friends
that is all the heaven ! want, that is
heaven enough for me. o garden Of
light, whose leaves never wither, and
whose fruits never fail! o banquet of
God, whose sweetness never pals the
taste, and whose guests are kings for
ever! O city of light, whose walls are
salvation, and whose gates are praise.
O palace of rest, whers God is the mon
arch and everlasting ages the length OF
his reign! o song louder than the surf
beat of many waters, yet soft as the
whisper of cherubim!
When my last wound is healed, when
the last heartbreak IS ended, when the
last tear of earthly sorrow is wiped
away, and when the redeemed of the
Lord shall come to Zion. then let the
harpers take down their harps, and all
the trumpeters take down their trum-
pets, and all across heaven there be
chorus Of morning stars, chorus of
white robed victors, chorus Of martyrs
from under the throne, chorus of ages,
chorus of worlds, and there be but one
song sung, and but one name spoken,
and but one throne honored-that of
Jesus only.

Members of Railroad Gang.
Superintendent Elliot Holbrook, of the
Baltimore and Ohio road, in the course
of an interesting chat said he did not
believe any road in the country could
turn up, Like the Baltimore and Ohio, a
section gang with county coroner, a
doctor Of divinity, an ex-member OF the
legislature and an emergency physician
He has been out along the line for a
week and tells story about an experl
ence he had while his car was lying at
Sand Patch night or two ago. The
foreman of the gang came up to him
and said:
.sThere is more talent to the square
inch in the gang OF the fur side Of that
mountain than l have met with since
was at the last state convention.
Mr.. Holbrook asked the man what he
meant, and the foreman continued:
81 was coming up the hill from work
with my gang bit ago, and wher few
rods below Philson's we found the body
of man lying beside the track. His
( body was yet warm, and said, Wish

"Oh, yes; was elected last fall.
"'Well, go ahead He took six Of the

verdict of accidental death.
"'Well, that's done; put him in the
hand car and we'll take him up and get
a coffin and preacher and bury him,
said to the men.
"'What's the euse? said a man of the
gang who hadn't said word till now

Bile with me- Let's hold the services
right here. Let the others dig grave
up there under that big hemlock, and
We'll bury him without further trouble.
"Acting on his suggestion the grave
was soon dug, the body carried to its
side, and then the minister took hold.
He read chapter, gave out hymn, as
he called it, which the men sung, and
then he delivered one Of the most feelin
and Appropriated funeral sermons ever
heard. 1t was out of sight, and nearly
every one of us was purity moist before
he quit. There wasn't nothin in it at

me, cause it was simple, and was
powerful as the dynamite we had been
using all day.
