SOME CHRISTMAS HINTS.
1t II Not Too Soon to Commence Your
Preparations Now.

1t Il Not Too Soon to Commence Your
Preparations Now.
Though your thoughts have not as
yet been turned away from the pleas
ures of the season through which you
have just passed, it is still not as
ridiculous as 1t may appear to make
some suggestions relative to the
Christmas season.
Time has an exasperatfng way of
vanishing before we have made good
use of it, and many belated needle
woman has declared that the day
after Christmas is not one whit too
soon to begin preparations for the
next season. Commencing now there
need be no hurry at the end, and con-
siderable fatigue and mental worry
are averted by such course of action.
There are very many pretty things
that can be finished by feminine fin.
gers, and which make the best sort
OF gifts, for they prove that more
than the ordinary thoughts OF the
season are put into them. Among
these may be mentioned soft, downy
cushions for some aching head, knit
ted purses for the young sister or
A4iCAus WIN SduuUU nave 100 many
dainty accessories; bureau tlxings or
embellishments for the table that are
sure to suit the young housekeeper,
so proud OF her little nest. and dozens
Of other particularly appropriate offer
ings that suggest themselves as you
know the need or the fancy of those
about you.
All these may be, of course, bought
in the art needle stores, but the gift
which means only the opening of
ones purse is not SO much appre-
ciated by the recipient as though
there had been certain amount of
personal thought and work given to
the formation. Begin now and you
will be rewarded by seeing one article
after another grow beneath your
hands and there will be no occasion
on Christmas eve to burn the mid
night oil in order to put in the finish
ing stitches.

! Lieut.. Phillips, United States army,
professor Of military tactics in Knox
College, GalcSburg, has invented
system Of preventing railroad acct
dents and had ON exhibition a model
at the Worlds Fair. The Patent
Office has allowed his claims and at
taches importance to his invention.
In brief, 1t comprises Il small battery
of three or four jars and an electric
bell on each engine, metallic brush
connected with battery and bell, and
three wires stretched along the track.
The metallic brush hanging from the
engine rests on these wires. The
track is divided into blocks Of mile
or more in length. At the end of
each block the wires cross. The ap-
plication is this: When two trains
are within a mile of each other the
circuit is completed and the bells on
both engines are rung, the current
passing from the wires via the me-
tallic brush to the bell. II two
trains, for instance, are approaching
one another on the same track, the
instant that one passes on to the
block next to the block on which is
the other train the electric bells
sound the alarm and a collision is
averted. In the case of the destruc-
ton Of bridge there is an automatic
connection that preserves the circuit
and warns the engineer on the next
block. Should one train be wrecked
the oncOming train on the next block
can be warned by placing bar of
metal across the three wires. In
the same manner an open switch
completes the circuit. Railroad men
in Galesburg have become much in
,terested in the device. Lieut.. Phil
lips calculates that to equip 100 miles
OF road with the apparatus complete,
including batteries and bells for
stations would cost but $1,000

'mandant of Fort William fled. The
abandoned garrison chose a Mr.. Hol-
well for chief, and prepared to defend
the fort. But the defense was futile.
The troops of Surajah Dowlah en-.
tered Fort William, and made LAG of
the garrison captive. The captives
were driven into room twenty feet
square, with only one small barred
window, and there confined during a.
hot June night. All through the
night were heard cries of the doomed
men, growing fainter and fainter
hour by hour; and in the morning,
when the natives opened the door of
the dungeon, but twenty-three spec
ters issued forth, leaving l23 dead,
some PROSTATE on the floor, others
still standing, though the sun of
India had already begun the work of
putrefaction The twenty three sur
vivors had escaped by climbing on
the bodies of the dying and the dead,
SO as to clutch the window frame and
get little air. The place where the
captives were confined has ever since
been known as the Black Hole.

He Recommended the Bride.

Some years ago, in very rural dis
trict of England, farmer had a COW
for sale. Now, as there was no
weekly paper to advertise in, it was
the custom Of the vicar to give such
notices out to his congregation on
Sundays. So the farmer thought he
would go to the vicar and get him to
advertise the cow in church. Yes"
says the vicar, "but you don't come
to my church" And they struck the
bargain that the vicar should adver-
tise the cow and the man in return
should go to church. Now, unfor-
tunatcly, the man was very deaf. and
on the Sunday following, when the
vicar gave out the bans of marriage
between Joseph So-and-so and Sarah
So-and-so-a rather unusual Incl
dent, for they seldom had a wedding
1.-The farmer took it for granted that
the vicar was giving out the particu-
lars of his COW, and shouted out: "You
may as well say, while you are about
1t. that she is a most gentle creature,
entirely free from vice., and a great
eater"

AS TO the healthfulness of going
without shoes and stockings there
can, says the London Hospital, be no
question. Some of the healthiest
children of the world are to be found
in the Scottish highlands, where
shoes are seldom worn at an earlier age
than ~ or IL. The negro and coolie
laborers, who work barefooted, are
usually in robust health. Brown, in
the "History of Man." tells of an
African monarch who suffered from
what appeared to have been a cold in
his head, besides other ailments,
while his people were always as well
as possible. Can it be that the rea-
son was that, by the laws Of his
kingdom he alone was permitted to
clOthe his feet, and that he gratified
his vanity by always wearing gor-
geous sandals? 1t is probably gener-
alizing too much to state, as a medi-
cal fact, that the barefooted races
are the healthiest. But it is certain
that bare feet are healthier than
badly shod feet. In our English vii
lagos children are constantly sent to
school in wet weather with holes In
their shoes. They SIT for hours with
damp feet, and illnesses are the re-
suits. II their parents would send
them off barefoOted, as is done in
Scotland and Ireland, their feet
would dry by evaporation in short
time, and it would be found that no
harm followed.

A Death-BlOw to a Prejudice.

The widespread and silly preju-
dice against tomatoes ought now to
have received its death-blow. DIR.
Alexander Marsden, the well-known
authority on cancer, states that he
and his colleagues, during the last
two years, have been inundated with
letters of inquiry as to whether toma-
toes are an exciting cause Of cancer.
The answer, which he publishes for
the benefit of such as are anxious on
the subject, is, "that tomatoes neither
predispOse to nor excite cancer for
nation, and that they are not In
furious to those suffering from this
disease; but, on the contrary, are .
very wholesome article of diet, par
