Ways Of Washing.

According to the Worla Of Fashion,
the hardest worked washerwomen in the
world are the Koreans. They have to
wash about dozen dresses for their hus.
bands, and, inasmuch as every man wears
pantaloons or drawers so baggy that they
would come up to his neck, like those Of
clown, they have plenty to do. The
washing is usually done in cold water,
and often in running streams. The
clothes are pounded with paddles until
they shine like shirt bosom fresh from
Chinese laundry. The JAPANESE rip
their clothes apart for every washing,
and they iron their clothes by spreading
them on fiat board and leaning this up
against the house to dry. The sun taxes
the wrinkles out of the clothes, and some
of them have quite lustre. The Japa-
nese woman does her washing out CT
doors. Her wash tub is not more than
six inches high, and is about ss big
around as the average dishpan. She gets
the dirt out of the clothes by rubbing
them between her hands. She sometimes
uses Japanese soap, which is full of
grease, and she works away in her bare
feet. The Chinese girls do their washing
in much the same way. The pretty,
short-haired beauties of Siam wear their
gowns on them into The big river, and
wash them while taking their bath.
When they get through, they trot up the
steps of their floating houses, and, wrap
ping clean sheet around their bodies,
they slip off the wet clothes from under
it and wiring them out to dry. The wash
ing in Egypt is usually done by the men.
The Egyptian washerman stands on the
banks of the Nile, and slaps the wet
clothes, with a noise like the shot of a
pistol, on the smooth stones at the edge
of the running water, and such fellah
women as wash pound the dirt out of
their clothes in the same way. French
women pound the dirt out with paddles,
often slapping the clothes upon stones as
the Egyptians do.

To Kiss or Not to Kiss ?

Next to jumping off express trains,
going up in balloons and monkeying with
buzz saws, kissing seems to be the most
risky and dangerous pastime to which the
human family is given, if statements of
.well-known and popular physicians are
to be believed.
A cable dispatch from Berlin states
that physician of that city declares that
twenty-five different species of bacteria
finds lodgment in the human mouth and
that he wants kissing abandoned. Those
who still persist in the dangerous prac-
tice, he suggests, should be muzzled with
frespirstors until they see the error of their
ways and are willing to reform. He sug.
gests no substitute.
Dr.. William FL. Grim, when his atten.
ton was called to the cablegram, said
kissing was prolific cause of the spread
of infectious and contagious diseases,
particularly such as diphtheria, measles,
whooping. cough, scarlet and typhoid fe-
vers and consumption. He produced
several ponderous volumes in which the
subject was treated, and in which some
cold.b .blooded statistician had figured out
that 3210 per centum of certain dis.
eases we're transmitted by the apparently
harmless kiss. DR.. Grim said that he did
not expect any amount of argument
would check this dangerous habit that has
been going on since the foundation of the
world, but he suggested that it would be
we'll for those who are much given to the
exercise to obtain certificates of health,
which they could show to each other at
the beginning of each performance.
Anyone who could not produce such a
certificate should be ruled out of the
game. 3
DR.. Fannie E. Hooper, who has just
returned from abroad, agreed with the
Berlin physician. She said that the habit
was 8 very dangerous one indeed, causing
the spread of infectious diseases through
entire families, and often through whole
neighborhoods. She also thought that the
habit was foolish and senaeless, and said
sine vas opposed to it on principle. She
cited several cases where diphtheria and
typhoid fever had been spread by kissing,
and said that many mothers have in.
structed their nurses not to allow their
children to be kissed when the nurses
have them out in the streets.-BaHimore

Carried off by a Panther.

ST. MARY's, Mo-, July 6.-The low
lands of Bois Brule bottoms, lying be-
tween the range of hills on which the
town rests, and the Mississippi River,
has been so covered with water during
the recent overflow that it has not only
become uninhabitable for man but all
the many wild beasts of the forest have
been driven to seek homes among the
rocks. The broad bottom with it's swamp
and brush patches has long been known
as the resort of wildcats and an occasional
panther has been seen or heard by those
who live there.
The territory flooded was the portion of
the country where the greatest food sup
ply for these animals was to be found, and
when they were driven to the hills they
were compelled to seek other means of
living. The farms are so thick that it be-
camea frequent occurrence for the barn
yards to be raided. To cap the climax,
however, a panther has done more than
raid the barn yard and has carried off a
baby.
Henry Williamson's wife was with her
house, three miles south Of here, last
while she was going about her work she

in time 10 see a huge brute leap into the
yard, seize the baby, jump back over the
fence and make for the woods. Her
screams brought a neighbor who lived
about hundred yards away, and who,
with Mrs. Williamson, started after the
beast. The chase was continued for about
half mile, when the animal was seen
crouching in some bushes with the child
between its paws. A shot from gun
drove the animal away short distance
into the neck Of the infant, causing prob
ably instant death. The whole vicinity
was aroused over the occurrence and
squads of men started after the animal,
killing it the same afternoon about two
miles from the place where it had killed
the baby.

Lighting Trains by Electricity.

LANSING, MICH, July Professor j.
f. McElroY, of this city, has solved tho
problem of lighting train by electricity
in successful and economical manner.
The machine devised by Professor McEl-
roy is cylindrical dynamo in itself,
which Is attached to the forward axle of
the locomotive. 1t will run for weeks
without any attention whatever, and all
it requires is little oil occasionally. The
wires run under the engine and are con-
nected to each car by means Of couplers
similar to the steam couplers now in use.
The lights are incandescent and each car
can be illuminated to whatever extent is
desired.
In each car strong but powerful stor-
age battery is placed. While the train is
in motion the batteries become charged.
When the train stops at station the pow
er from the dynamo ceases, but automat-
ically the storage batteries come into
play and light the train. A car may be
cbt Of and thrown to side track to await
connection and the light will be in SER
vice for six hours. This time can be
increased at will by increasing the stor-
age battery power.
The headlight for the locomotive and
every light will be electric and the tax on
the power Of the locomotive will be very
small. The cost Of the system is loss
than the ordinary lights now in use on
railroads.

He'll tQ,Strict Account.

COLUMBIA, s. c., July S.-Ex-Govern-
or John Peter Richardson has left the
quiet Of his farm in the low-co1ntry, and
to-day he appeared in the streets OF Co.
lumbia for the first time In some months.
BE comes TO investigate and repel the at
tack made upon the honesty of his ad-
ministration in regard to the contingent
fund by Governor Tillman, through the
columns of his organ. Governor Richard
son brought Mrs. Richardson with him,
and they are quartered at the Hotel
Jerome, where the latter is quite sick.
Owing to this the Ex-Governor has been
unable to do anything to-day and says that
he will remain here for several days to
come. The Ex-Governor was gladly
welcomed by his many friends in the
CITY.
When called upon by the representa-
tiveIof the NctCS and Courier and asked
about the cloud that has been raised over
his disbursement of the contingent fund {,
he spoke vory freely and displayed con-
siderable feeling that the charge should
rest upon him. He said he had not yet
seen a COPY of the paper in which the
matter had appeared, but had seen refer
ences to it in other papers. Consequent
ly until ho could carefully go over the
figures quoted he could not say anything
definite. He did say, however, that he
knew those vouchers had been put up
regularly, and believed that proper
search would reveal them. If there was
anything wrong about the matter he was
going to see it. He said he, as all other
Governors had done, had merely looked
over the bills when presented and when
finding them correct signed them. 1t
was the duty of the secretary to keep the
vouchers, and the comptroller had to is
sue the warrants. It may be necessary
for him to locate Mr.. Chazal, his former
secretary, but he certainly intended to
sift the matter. This was the main
thing that brought him to Columbia.
When the Ex-Governor has had time to
look fully into the matter he intimates
that he will give complete statement to
the public.

She Bet on Cleveland.

Cleveland Democrat. The presence of

and their expressions of confidence in the
downfall of her ideal political leader did
not shake her faith. Thursday afternoon
just before the time for opening of the
second session of the day, a TammaDy

it was then certain that Cleveland would
not be nominated. The young woman,
according to the Chicago Herald, stopped
her work abruptly and addressing the
dictator, said:
"Think so"

and we marched out of New Mexico with
full stomachs and wearing good clothes.
General Baylor, of course, saw that We
couldn't boldly march up to the fort and
capture it, SO he resorted to. tactics Of
bluster.
"He had us encamped in narrow
valley over the hill from Fillmore, and
at night would march us around the hill
in continuous circuit, leaving q squad
of one or two at short intervals to build
blazing camp fires, so that before day
light, the enemy, so safely entrenched,
were impressed with the idea that an en-.
emy of thousands were surrounding them.
We darted about with lightning rapidity,
shouting, yelling and making more noise
generally than bloodthirsty Comanches.
Well, heitactics accomplished the pur-
pose, for soon after daylight Colonel Lyme
sent out an aide to treat with General
Baylor. The only terms our stern COM
mander would consent to was uncondi-
tional surrender of the fort, with all its
stores or determination. 1t is useless to
say that the affrightened blue coats sur
rendered all they had and threw them
selves upon our mercy. After ne had

Nine times a Bride.

Providence, II, July 1.-THE di.
vorce court records here will soon re
ceive very peculiar petition from Mrs.
Sadie Crandall, the wife of the Rev.
Walter Crandall, Michigan minister,
who will contest the separation. Mrs.
Crandall took the initial steps this

She is thirty-two years old and a prepos.

nine times within eight years, the preach.

married, never insisting on a new bride
but being perfectly content With Mrs.
Crandall in that role. Owing to this
matrimonial mania, Mrs. Crsndall says
her life has been long and narrowing

was another marriage. Mr.. Crandall
then learned that st. Patrick's had once
been a Catholic cathedral, that the mass
had been sang there, and that the CO.
thedral had not been dedicated since it
ceased to be used for Roman Catholic
worship. This omission the preacher
held to be fatal, and another marriage
was ordered. Then he forced her to be
married on board ship by Presbyterian
preacher, the Rev. Giles Knight. At

a New Use for Monkeys.

GOSHEN, N. Y, July 6.-There is an
ancient saying, current among sailors,
that monkeys can speak, but refrain from
doing so lest they should be compelled to
work. Aaron Howels, who ownsa cherry
farm near Goshen, N. Y, remembered
this when, a year ago, he began to teach
couple of large monkeys to pick his
fruit. The influx of California fruit to
the Eastern markets has gradually SO Sc
riously reduced the profits ofthe growers
on the Atlantic seaboard that it became
evident that the wages of hired pickers
would eat it nearly all up.
Incidentally, Farmer Howells mention
ed this to his cousin, who is the captain OF
an East India trader sailing from Boston.
Capt. Howells replied that, on some OF
the islands near Siam, he had seen mon
keys that had been trained to pick fruit,
and did their work well. He saw no
reason why the creatures should not be
similarly utilized in Orange County.
Farmer Howells was very skeptical,
but when, on his Cousins return from
his next voyage, he brought home with
him two very big Siamese apes, he began
to train them at once. They learned very
rapidly, and now the owner thinks they
save him at least so cents q day each.
4Aoy CI1ulD Ootto1, PlCh A1O4o oAC Sat
less than the boys. Each monkey has a
bag that contains about five pounds of
fruit slung around his waist.
'"They go up the tree like rocket"
said Mr.. Howells, and, when their bags
are full, they come down like the stick"
A heap of empty sacks on the grass is
ready for them, and they help themselves
and return to their work. Moreover,
with their toll, the farmer thinks, they
have broken their silence, and, though he
cannot yet understand what they say, he
is quite sure that they hold animated
conversations with each other.
They certainly chatter away, and that
there is spirit of rivalry between them
is evident. When one plucks more
cherries than the other he is somewhat
Extensively triumphant and his compan-
ion is proportionately detected.
Mr.. Howells encourages competition
by giving the more successful monkey
some thing extra for his supper.
