To Three OF the Young Ladies Now in the
Contest
The GAZETTE has all along intended,
and now announces that intention, to
invite three Of the unsuccessful caudi-
dates in the contest to become part OF
the excursion and go to Chicago and
Niagara Falls as THE GAzETrE's guests
and as representatives Of Texas, One
Of these will be from Fort Worth and
two from outside the city. The inyi-
tation will be decided by the vote as the
GAZETTE could not and would not choose
for itself the three young ladies who
are thus to be invited to become part
Of the excursion. This invitation will
be extended to that young lady in
Fort Worth who stands next In the
vote TO the three highest, and TO
those two young ladies outside Of
Fort worthwhile stand nextin the vote TO
the seven highest. This announcement
would have been made before, but THE
GAZETTE could not ascertain preyi-
ously that it could offer the same ae-
commodations, courtesies and honors
to such additions to It's party, and this
paper would not invite any young lady
TO anything less than the original party
received. These invited contestants
will wear THE GAzETTE's beautiful
gold badge and bel all respeets,o of The
G6zErrE's Texas excursion TO the dedi-
cation and Niagara Falls We have
known for some time that the public
looked for such courtesy from THE
GAZETTE, and therefore the announce
ment was decided on, and has been
withheld only until assurances we're re-
ceived that in inviting these contest
ants to become a part OF the exclusion
we could promise them no distinction
in any pleasure, entertainment or com
fort Of the trip. They will all be GA
zErrE girls, and that means no little o.
enjoyment in Chicago.

STEAMING THE BABIES.
A Simple and Effective Treatment for
Membranous Group.

Membranous Group.
Within the past few months mem
branous Group has been unusually prev
alent among small children throughout
the city and the children's wards in the
numerous hospitals have been crowded
with the little sufferers from this
scourge. At the Childrens' hospital,
where they have had large number of
cases, a new form of treatment is used
which has proved successful in forty
two per cent of the cases, an extremely
large proportion.
At this institution, as soon as the
children are found to be suffering from
the complaint they are placed on cot
from the four corners of which poles
extend upward several feet They are
joined ut the top by strips, and blan-
kets are then thrown over the whole,
completely inclosing the patient
A small kerosene stove, on which is a
large kettle, stands on the floor at the
foot of the bed The kettle is filed
with mixture of gum camphor, oil of
turpentine and water.
This is brought to boil, and a tube
leading from the kettle goes under the
blankets and carries the steam inside,
where it condenses on the blankets in
great drops, the moisture and fumes of
the drug enabling the patient to breathe
When the case is extremely bad an
other instrument it used consisting of a
small spirit lamp, over which is a
small vessel that acts like boiler On
the side is glass bu{b filed with BIZ
carbonate of soda, glycerine and water
A glass tube extends into the bed and
is placed at the patients mouth. The
heat from the lamp causes the steam
from the liquid in the tube to pass into
the boiler and then through the second
tube to the patients mouth. -Philadel-

He looks so sick and hungry, and
mother says she don't believe he meant
any harm"
Capt. Drew exclaimed: go away,
my child; you and your mother
shouldn't NEEDLE in ship AFFAIRS" then
half ashamed of his unmanly conduct
he took the child's plump little hand,
and turning to Bill, said: eco forward
to the galley and tell the cook to give
you some grub. You deserve a sound
thrashing; but if you'll do your duty
around here I'll let you off this time.
But no Sinking, mind, or you'll fare
worse next time"
AS he turned to go aft the captain
met his wife's gaze; there was CRATE
full look in her face, as if to say;
THANK you for remembering that you
are a man and father, and not
coarse bully"
"Pshawr muttered he, whats the
use of trying to keep up discipline on a
ship when there are women on board"
Then he gave the pet dog an impatient
shove with his foot and proceeded to
scan the horizon through his sextant.
Capt. Drew had a good deal of human
nature in his makeup.
Bill soon found that getting a start
in the forecastle was rather worse than
being thrashed by his stepfather. He
had to stand lots of rough chaff, hazing
and horseplay from the rough men who
composed the crew. This only stopped
when they saw him manfully take hold
with a will and intelligence, ever the
first to spring into the rigging and reef
and furl with the best of them; for he
was large Of his age and full of pluck.
Thus matters passed on without I'M
usual incident until the ship got off the
pitch of Cape Horn. 1t was nasty
weather, thick and puffy, and about
the gray of morning, when the lookout
suddenly and fiercely shouted: Sail
no, right aboard of us on the lee bowl"
All hands sprang on deck, to see a
large ship plunging for them on the
starboard tack. The Golden Fleece"
was headed at once into the wind, but
it was too late, for she was struck just

story Illustrating How They May BE
Utilized.
Two men stood at the same table in
large factory in Philadelphia, at the
same trade. Having an ehour for their
incoming every day, each undertook to
use it in accomplishing definite pur-
pose; each persevered for about the
same number of months, and each won
success at last.
One of these two mechanics used his
daily leisure hours in working out the
invention of machine for saving a
block of wood into almost any desired
shape. When his invention was COM
plete he sold the patent for fortune,
changed his workman's apron for a
broadcloth suit, and moved out of a
tenement house into a brown-stone
mansion.
The other man-what did he do?
Well, he spent an hour each day during
the most of a year in the very difficult
undertaking of teaching little dog to
stand on its hind feet and dance a Jig.
At last accounts he was working ten
hours day at the same trade and at
his old wages, and finding fault with
the fate that made his fellow workman
rich while leaving him poor.

grain to the mind as well as the purse,

YaInn of Old Matches.

Some old watches have considerable
value and some have very little. In the
first category are watches with hog S
bristles for regulating the vibrations,
egg watches, all watches with one
hand, with or without Communications;
watches without balance springs and
without regulating arrangements, those
with perforated cases, those with finely
chased cases, If the chasing be distinct;
enameled gold watches of fine work
manship, watches of wood or ivory or
with iron or porcelain cases, and nearly
all watches with peculiar movements
Old watches of little value are those
that have chased cases the figures of
which are worn off, or, if well pre-
served, are of inferior workmanship;
painted pinchbeck cases, cases of four
colored gold layers with ordinary de-
signs, and painted dials that display
poor workmanship. Watches with fig
ures striking on bells are of little value.

aft of the forerigging, the sharp iron
stem of the other vessel, which proved
to be an English clipper, cutting into
her side like knife going through

diately began to sink. The two vessels
remained locked together moment,
but when the stranger backed off the

sudden lurch.
In that brief interval her crew
swarmed pellmell over the strangers

look after his wife and child. He

Bill rushed to the aft cabin, regardless
of his own life, and snatched up little
Grace.
Look out for the lady, sir" he cried
to the captain, land I'll take care of

A mess of hot coffee was served to
the shipwrecked crew, and Mrs. Drew
and Oracle were made as comfortable
as possible in fine stateroom placed
at their disposal
After she had recovered from the
shock and fright Mrs. Drew asked that
Bill might be permitted to come aft.
To him she owed the life of her child
and most probably also of herself and
of her husband. To her he was nc
longer the poor, forlorn stowaway; he
was a hero and bcnefactor whom nc
kind deeds could ever sufficiently re-
pay. The tears stood in her eyes when
she saw him again. With sudden i'm.
pulse she took his hand in both of hers

moment of unselfish heroism proved
the stepping-stone to successful ca

and master of ships, and Grace, while
still in her teens, decided to enter into
life partnership with him who haC

There is bit of interesting tradition
anent the use of the thistle as the ma
tional emblem of Scotland. In one of
the wars of early times the Scots were
in camp asleep, it being the dead of
night. A party of Danish scouts had
approached unperceived, and while try
ing to discover the weak points and
any unprotected localities in their posi-
ton a spy CHANGED to tread upon a
thistle. loud exclamation of pain
andinvoluntary imprecations, prompted
by the too sudden and violent contact
with the singing needles of the plant,
reused the camp to instant action. The
Scots rallied, attacked the spies, and
completely routed the invading army.
In gratitude to the humble plant, which
had no doubt saved their lives, and pos
sibly turned the fortunes of war in
their favor, they bore it aloft On their
spears, and finally adopted it as the ma
tional emblem. The motto on the
Scottish arms, Memo me impune
lacessit ("None shall annoy me with
impuuity"), is suggestive of the plant
and the incident. N. Y. Ledger
