Apropos of the article which appeared
in your valuable paper this morning I
quote from the proclamation mado yes
to-day by Health Officer yeale, Of
Philadelphia, with especial reference
to cholera. For the protection OF tho
public health strict compliance with
the following important sanitary meas
ures must be insisted upon: Cleanliness
Is the essential prove ntion of cholera
and the diseases common to the summer
months. With clean air, clean soil,
clean water and clean food there need
be no fear Of these diseases; but these
means of prevention must be em ployed
by the whole community. Every citi-
zen must be neld responsible for the
cleanliness of his own premises. I'm.
cleanliness Is the deadiiest OF the re-
movable causes of diseases. Filth
makes disease. Cholera is filth dis
ease and in order to prevent cholera we
must prevent filth. There is necessity
for instant and continued preparation,
delay 1, fatal to the obj ct in view.
Clean your houses, oellats, yards,
alleys, vaults and sinke, and
keep them clean. Use whitewash
freely on cellar walls, fences, outhouses
and wherever dampness exists. Avoid
all collections OF garbage, stagnant wa.
ter or filth of any description about
your promises Put your drainage in
good order" ~
Now in the light OF this statement
what is being done here with this cart
system but inviting disease-not neces.
sarily cholera but those diseases COM
mon to the summer months"
How far short OF being criminal is it
to nightly subject our citizens to these
emanations from decomposing matter?
Where does tho responsibility lie?
What legal protection may an individual
invoke for the cake OF wife, children and
sell? Who would be liable for any dam.
ages that might result to an individual
from this cause? I am glad to see the
matter agitated and trust you will keep
1t up until we have that protection
which is our right TAN PAYER.

To THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES: 1t is
a great satisfaction TO SEQ the cart sub.
iect agltated by THE TIMES. A greater
nuisance and infection upon AN innocent
community cannot be imagined. There
Is probably not citizen who bas been
on the streets after 10 p. m. who has
not at some time or other been sub

referred to. 1t is to be hoped that the
proper officials will take prompt action
toward abatement of the same.

TO THE EDITOR OF TIE TIMES: Who

on the odorless excavator question.
Anyone who has had but one experience
with the night a''cart brigade" will
heartily indorse him and pray. that
change may be speedily made in the
existing system. There is not mem
Der Of Council who is not interested in

the healthfulness of their respective
wards. This is vital matter, which l
sincerely hope will be speedy adjusted.

Superstitions of Brave People.

If one will take the trouble to go
through the names of most of the
bravest people in history, he will find
that they nearly all suffered from some
superstition Or other. Napoleon Bona
parte was simply eaten by supersti-
tons, and so was the duke of MARI
borough. Literary men have always
been VIGOROUSLY superstitious, from
the days of DIR. johnson, who would go
back half a mile if he remembered that
he had omitted to touch any one of
the lampposts on his daily walk, to
Dean Swift, who would never change
a garment if he found that he had
put it on inside out, and Lord Byron,
who would get up and leave a dinner
party instantly if anybody split the
salt. Statesmen have not been ex-
empt from superstitions either. Lord
Beaconsfeld would always take espe-
cial care to enter the house with his
right foot foremost when he was going
to make big speech. Mr.. Parne1 had
a strong prejudice against sitting in a
room with three candles. William Pitt
would return home at once, however
important his business, if he met a
cross-eyed man in the street, while Sir
Robert Peel would always make the
sign against the evil eye with his fin
gers and thumb under similar circum-
stances.

and deliciousW as the fresh Il

latter. The life line running around
the base of the thumb denotes long or
short life, good or i'll health, according
as it is long or short, clear and I'M
broken or otherwise. The ''heart line, y
running across the palm nearest the
base of the fingers, signifies the quality
of the possessors emotional nature,
also the kind of love she will give and
receive. This will be enduring or tenn
porary according to whether the line
be long and clear, forked or crossed
and chained. Below this is the head
line which indicates the mental and
moral qualities and achievements and
deficiencies. The line of fate runs per-
pendicularly across the middle of the
palm and is very important factor in
the happiness or unhappiness of it's
owner. 1t should be clear and narrow,
unclaimed and increased by the fine
wrinkles which score SO many palms,
and it should never come to an end on
the line of the heart, since this signi-
fes disappointment in love. A cross
on the ''Mount of Mercury" which is
just at the base of the fore or index
finger, is an unfailing sign of happy
marriage.

thoroughly representative of the best
yachting genius of Great Britain The
new measurements of the Valkyrie re-
Gently made We're startling in that
they showed a waterline of S6.62 feet,
instead of SIS feet, the length she was
supposed to have on the waterline and
the length specified in the challenge
and the agreement for the information
al race. According to the compact re-
garding the races for the cup entered
into between the New York yacht club
and the Royal yacht squadron both
challenger and defender were limited
absolutely to an excess of per cent.
over the specified length of So feet.
Every inch in excess of the specified
length is to be counted double in COM
putting time allowance. A sailing
length computed on. the present water
line of the Valkyrie would, in view of
the double penalty, seriously interfere
with her chance of winning, provided
the defender was of the specified
length on waterline and the race a
close one. It is announced that the
Vallzyrie's spars have been reduced and
other alterations made in her which
will bring her just within the limit.
By the time the Vallzyrie reaches
these shores she is likely to have again
increased her load-waterline length, as
she is composite yacht and such boats
always increase in length and displace-
ment little after two or three months
immersion. By the use of the adze
and by the stripping of inside fittings
she can undoubtedly be brought back
to the limit, however. 1t is by no
means certain that the cup defenders
will not be found to have the same
trouble as the Valkyrie and alterations
may have to be made in them to bring
them to the S5-foot waterline. n

A BABY PRISONER OF WAR.

An Interesting Incident of an Engage
ment in the Crimea. 4r
A physician who was one of the Eng
lish medical staff in the Crimean war
tells, in Seventy Years of Life in the
Victorian Era," a story which he calls
the ''baby incident" A mandate had
gone forth to the effect that certain
suburb of Sebastopol should be raided
by select body of English; the attack
was to take place at midday, when the
enemy were at dinner.
The venture was so quickly executed
that it was completely successful The
occupants of the cottages had fed,
leaving their dinners untouched on the
tables, and the canaries in their cages:
in one cottage was found child about
six months old, clothed, and asleep in
it's cradle.
An officer carried away the little one
as prisoner of war, and sent the news
Of his capture to headquarters. Word
came at once from Lord Raglan, order
ing that flag of truce should be sent
out next morning and that all possible
search and inquiry should be made for
the mother of the child. Some of the
officers were amused that so much
trouble should be taken about stray
baby, but the chiefs order had to be
obeyed.
No mother was forthcoming, how
ever, to acknowledge the lost waif
But there was woman in the rifle
brigade who had baby few weeks
old, who was willing to undertake
double duty. About three weeks
elapsed, and then Raglan the Good
sent another message to his staff, who
had forgotten all about the adopted
child, directing that inquiry be made
after 'the mother and her twins
Word came back that the two chill
dren were thriving admirably, but that
the mother herself looked worn and
tired.
"How many cows are there?" asked
Raglan.
zone, sir,' was the reply.
'Then," said the self-denying chief,
''send the woman down a bottle of
milk every morning"
After this, the little army protege
became very popular. A chaplain
christened her Alma, and at the end of
the war the queen adopted her and
gave her liberal education.

POINTS IN PALMISTRY.

Significance of Shape in Fingers and the
Lines Across the Hands.
Square or spotulated fingers, in the
science of palmistry, denote the philo-
sophical and practical temperament,
says the Philadelphia Press, taper
fingers signify an artistic temperament
and very pointed digits are a sure sign
of the dreamy, psychical nature. Much
is learned by the general quality and
confguration of the hand and palm as
well as by the lines which cross tie

TO WRITTEN SILK AND WOOL.

To bleach silk or wool the sovereign
est thing on earth is sulphur smoke.
Wash and dry either texture in the
usual way, or rather hang to dry take
it down and fold smooth while it ID
still moderately damp.
Next get two tight barrels of good
size, each with single head, which
should be bored full of big augur holes.
In the open end of one hang the gar
ments to be bleached, spreading them
as open az possible; then cover the
mouth of the bowl with thick cloth.
Now turn the other barrel open end
down over a pair of brnziers in which
you have set fire to pound of sulphur,
previously wet with alcohol, and
placed either upon earth, a brick
hearth, or set in a large pan of water.
Set the barrel of clothes upon tho
sulphur barrel. See that the covering
cloth is taut, then leave it undisturbed
for at least three hours. The clothes
will come out beautifully white, but
will require at least two weeks of air
ing 10 rlu them ol lhe sulphur snleii.
Straw hats can be bleached in the
same way--first removing the band and
and lining and washing them clean
with stiff brush. Sift q little meal
or bran lightly over, then hang in the
barrel, taking care that the brim is
kept smooth and level After it il
bleached brush off the meal and press
over block, keeping damp towel be-
tween iron and seam.-Chicago Rec

Washing day is too full of hard
work and vexation to take any risks OF
having to do any portion of the work
over and the housekecper who looks
well to the accessories to such labor
may save many an annoyance and
great deal of WEAKNESS, beside con-
siderable time.
Among the unnecessaries OF such
occasions is the patching and piecipg-
ont Of clothes-lines, the work of rub
bling them with wet rags and the not
unusual occurrence of bad break,
when the entire contents of tho line
may have to be rinsed again, even if it
not necessary to give them thorough
washing to remove spots and stains.
Clothes-l lines should be carefully
taken down rs soon as the clothes are
dry. In doing this do not drag them
on the ground or pull them over the
dusty walks or porches, for they are
liable to be damp and will catch any
PARTICLES of dirt that they come in con-
tact with. This necessitates a thorough
cleaning when they must be used again,
or the risk of making spots on the
clothes. Tie the line up in a close bale
and put it in bag kept expressly for
this purpose.
Some people leave the lines out from
week to week, and, as a consequence,
have to clean them and take tho
chances of having streaks and soils on
the clean clothes, or, worse than this,
find them parted in some weak spot
and the wash spattered and dragging
in the mud. The few minutes work
necessary to take down and put away
all lines is time well spent. New York

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
srANnARp VINEGAR TEsr.

Standard vinegar is determined by
what is called the thirty-grain soda
test The manner of testing is as fol-
lows: Weigh out thirty grains of BIZ
carbonate of soda and one troy ounce
of vinegar. If the soda will neutralize
the whole of the vinegar Is said TO
be of standard strength and strong
enough for all practical purposes. II
it is below the standard, then a less
quantity of the soda will neutralize
the ounce of vinegar, and if above, the
soda will not destroy all of the acidity
of the vinegar. Potash is also used for
testing vinegar, and in the same way,
but thirty-fve-grain potash test is
the same as a thirty-grain soda test, or
very near it.-New York Sun.

SOME HINTs ABOUT TRTPE,


Triple is such q nutritious food and
agrees so well with dyspeptics and
fever patients that it il pity SO few
people know how to prepare and cook
it,
In the country it is almost impossi-
bile to get tripe at the butchers, and
the canned article may be tripe in
name but not in flavor.
1t is no easy task to prepare tripc at
home and the superior quality will
more than repay the extra work.
The method used in our family is so
easy and good that country people and
all persons that kill their own beef
should give it trial.
Empty the tripe of its contents rs
soon rs possible after the animal is
killed. Wash it well and lay it in cold
water to soak. Running water il nic-
est, but large tub will do very well.
Let it soak all day or over night, and
it is we'll to change the water once or
twice. After soaking, prepare kettle
of strong I've water, using concentrated
lye. Cut the tripe in pieces of suita-
bic size for easy handling. Have ready
tub half full of cold water and q
smooth board or dashboard. When
the lye is boiling hot drop in pieces of
the tripe, let them boil few minutes,
then take them out, lay them on tho
board, and with sharp knife scrape
them well. The brown lining will slip
off easily leaving the tripe clean and
white. Wash well and lay in salt
water over night or for day or two
and it is ready for use.
The tripe must first be boiled until
very tender, when it is ready to pickle
or use in any way one may prefer. -
