Twice each year in the larger cities
the shops advertise sale of household
linens, when linens little out of style
are marked down. and bargains are to
be secured by the housewives who want
good table linen rather than the very
latest thing. Such will take notice, says
the New York Times. that as ''all over"
patterns are no longer first choice, hav-
ing been superseded by the medallion
to get beautiful designs in pin and polka
dot flower-de-luce and other acceptable
''all overs" at very moderate rates.
When it can be afforded, the Irish dou-
BILE damask, which can be ironed on
both sides, is recommended, for, as ev-
cry housekeeper knows, the friction of
ironing the table linen is its most seri-
Gus wear.
1t will be noticed that lunch cloths
with napkins to match in gay borders
are much marked down, a sure sign
that they are not covering fashionable
tables. They can still, however, do most
acceptable service and are an accept
able bit of color at well laid tables.
Milady of Murray Hill takes kindly
to the silk and linen damask in solid
color and white for her luncheon table
mikado yellow, pale pink and other
shades-the preference being given to
the first named for washing quality.
The newest of these damasks have hem
stitched edges on cloth and napkins.

Science has been enriched by med
ical discovery as important in the domain
of therapeutics as chloroform, laudanum
and quinine. The great theory of infec-
ton by bacillus forms requires, in order
to be fruitful of benefit to mankind, the
discovery of a powerful germicide. In
carbolic acid, in corrosive sublimate and
in potassium permanganate science has
made long strides in the direction Of
adequate antiseptics and bacillicides, but
these drugs all have their drawbacks
Now, however, DIR. Worrall, a noted
scientist, claims to have found among
the coal products disinfecting body ap-
parently superior to all previous ones.
He has named it izal, and DIR. Klein,
after a series of exhaustive laboratory
experiments, is said to have found it alb
solutely destructive of the spores of some
of the most intractable and malignant
diseases. Unlike most powerful disin-
fectants, it is nonpoisonous to human
beings and may be taken internally dilut-
ed, while DIR. Klein's experiments go to
prove that, diluted with 200 parts water,
izal absolutely destroys the vitality of
the microbes of diphtheria, scarlatina,
CHAMBERS, erysipelas and cholera.-New

What DrunlIns Are.

Professor Barton of the Institute Of
Technology gave a half hour talk before
the students of the Chauncy Hall school
the other morning on "Drumlins. 1t
is only within few years that any ex-
tended research has been made into the
history of drumlins. The Investigations
in this state have been conducted largely
by Professor Barton himself \ drum
lin, as the speaker explained, is n mound
of material projecting upward from the
surface of the earth to sufficient height
to be called a hill. This mound or hill
is made from loose bits of earth and
rocks torn FROM lodges at the time-some
thousands of years ago-when this part
of the earth was covered with a sheet of
ice at least 1000 feet in thickness. As
this vast sheet moved off to the south
ward it carried with it quantities Of
earth and small fragments of rock,
which We're deposited in valleys or heap
ed into drumlins
The reason for the depositing of the
matter in valleys is an easy one to ex-
plain, but how it came to be piled into
hills has never yet been discovered. The
professor is 1T the present time making
this the subject of n special study, and
he hopes to solve the mystery before he
concludes the work Of making a map of
the state of Massachusetts,, showing the
location of the 1 800 drumlins within its
borders.-Boston Transcript.

FOR AMATEUR SINGERS.

The Advantages of Singing Over Other 40
eomplishments-Mista to Be Avoided.
Good singing has a great advantage
over other accomplishments. 1t gives
the greatest amount of pleasure to
others, and, as rule, is a never failing
source of delight to the singer. 1t is
also an exercise which is so beneficial to
the lungs that it has been proved beyond
all doubt that many persons with weak
chests have been permanently strength
ened by a careful and judicious use of
the vocal organs. We may here observe
that the practice of singing, particularly
in the case of young children, should be
insisted upon by parents, as, although
there may be no evidence of any disease
of the lnngs in them, yet by the daily
practice of vocal exercises their lungs
are invigorated and rendered healthier,
and many chest complaints which might
have developed in the course of time
are thus warded off.
1t is a great mistake for women who
wish to become good singers to indulge
in the pernicious habit of tight lacing.
1t is a matter of fact that nothing can
be more injurious to the respiratory or
gans than to compress them into a more
limited space than nature has already
provided for them. The practice of tight
lacing makes it utterly impossible for the
singer to initiate the lungs to their fullest
extent, which is absolutely necessary for
the proper development of the voice.
The Housewife, authority for the forego-
ing, has the following to say concerning
the selection of q song:
In the choice of a song the student
should be guided by the sentiment con-
tanned in the words and the beauty of
the music. Due regard, however, must
be paid to the compass and capabilities
of her voice, and she should be careful
to avoid all nervous habits, such as beat
ing time with the hands or feet, moving
backward and forward, etc., but she
must acquire an easy and natural atti-
tude.
In conclusion, we would impress upon
students to avoid all eccentricity of style
and contortion of the features when
singing. The latter may be overcome by
practicing in front of a looking glass,
which will have the effect of correcting
all tendencies to such bad habits.

Fire WIN Not Destroy 1t.

Asbestus is mineral fiber of the horn
blende variety. 1t derives its name
from Greek word which signifies ''in-
destructible by fire" The ancients were
familiar with its uses and the modes of
obtaining it, yet strange to say always
alluded TO it as n vegetable production.
1t was used in all their funeral rites, but
particularly where cremation was prac-
ticed, the corpse being wrapped in an
asbestus cloth so as to keep the ashes of
the dead person from mingling with
those of the wood or other combustibles
used in incarceration of the remains. The
people of Egypt and many other conn
tries of the ancients, especially the royal
and wealthy classes, made towels, nap
kins, tablecloths, etc, of asbestus and
cleaned them by throwing them into the
fire.-St. Louis Republic.

THE RENAISSANCE.
At Present Popular and
fashionable Craze.
How Few There are Who Really Know
What the Word Means.
Interesting Explanation and the True
Application of the Word.

The Renaissance" is upon everybody s
lips; it is the popular craze of the day, and
is applied indiscriminately by the votaries
of fashion. How few there are who really
know the meaning of the word
Renaissance means n new birth, new
life, to be created anew. The name when
applied in art, style or furnishings has not
one 1.-THE the meaning it has when applied
to that grand object, health. To be re-
stored to health is the true Renaissance,
to be truly created anew.
Speaking upon this most interesting
subject of restoration to health, the we'll
known Mrs Albert Colby of Laconia, N.
H, says:
II was completely broken down in
health and suffered from nervousness and
weakness, could not sleep nights, had
neuralgia in my side, an all gone feeling in
my stomach and a terrible palpitation OF
the heart, causing me to think had heart
disease.
1t was evident that there was a terrible
diseased condition of my nerves and sys-
tenn which required immediate attention.

IA blood and nerve remedy and have taken
five bottles.

The house has passed, while it is wait
ing for the senate to act, one bit of legis-
lation in which the country is consider
ably interested. That is the bill provid-
ing for bridge to be built across the
Hudson river at New York city, at n
point not south of Sixty-sixth street.
The structure is to be called the New
York and New Jersey bridge, and work
on it must be begun within a year. 1t
is to be a railway bridge, as we'll as one
for general traffic, and will fill a press
ing need. The only railways to New York
city at present, with the sole exception
of those coming in at the New York
Central station, transfer their passengers
to ferryboats at the lower part of the
city. The crowd and jam are so fright
full because of this that the bridges over
the streets were erected at some of the
ferry landings. Even that does not re-
lieve the pressure. Moreover, with the
gradual moving up town of residences
and hotels, the traveller is thus landed in
the big city at points several miles south
of where he wants to go. This entails
additional expense for cars or carriage
hire, and the cabmen's charges in New
York are a terror. The senate will be
comforting favor if it will pause in its
mad career and charter that bridge.

Il now have good appetite and have

Il consider these results remarkable in
the comparatively short time 1 have been
taking the remedy. and l cannot speak
highly enough of the good it has done me.
am sure had it not been for DIR Greene S
Nervura blood and nerve remedy, would
not be alive to-day.
Il have got my sister and four or five
others to take this wonderful medicine
and it is doing them lots of good. 1 state
the wonderful change DIR Greenes Nervura
has made in me for the good of the public,
and hope others affected with nervous or
chronic diseases will use this great curer
of disease for after what it has done for
me it will surely cure them. l can recon-
mend it to the world with the highest
praise"
This is true Renaissance created
anew, made well and strong, where before
was weakness and disease. If you are a
sufferer and desire to be restored to health
and strength, use DIR Greene's Nervura

vegetable and harmless and costs but 81 al

The American Railway Master Me

The American Railway Master Ne
chanics' association has decided that the
prevention of smoke from locomotive
engine depends on perfect combustion of
coal, and that depends on three points,
as follows: /. The maintenance of the
inside of the firebox at a temperature
sufficiently high to secure prompt union
of the fuel with the oxygen of the air.
2. Plenty of oxygen to unite with the
carbon of the fuel. 8. The proper bring
ing of the oxygen and the fuel together.
These requirements can mostly be met
by not putting on too much coal at a
time and keeping the ashes we'll raked
out.
