SWEPT by A HURRICANE.
New Hebrides and New Caledonia Suffer
Great Destruction.

New Hebrides and New Caledonia Suffer
Great Destruction.
SIDNEY. March ~. A destructive
hurricane swept, on the 9Th of March,
over the New Hebrides islands and New
Caledonia, destroying1many villages and
causing great loss of life. Large num-
beers of the natives are said to have per-
ished and extensive districts were de-
vastated. New Caledonia farms with
neigh boring islands, the most important
penal colony of France, and particulars
are anxiously awaited as to the destruc-
ton of life and property at Nouemea
and other points. The New Hebrides
have but few white inhabitants but
among these are missionaries from
America and Europe.
The hurricane was the worst one
ever experienced in the region. It
ragged necessarily for three days and the
rainfall was enormous. Half of New
Caledonia is flooded. In Tchio alone
10 persons were drowned. The loss of
property was at least el2O,OM. Most of
the settlers were ruined.

The fire originated in the organ loft.
The definite cause is unknown but it is
attributed either to defective electric

FROM ST. Petersburg comes the sur
prising information that women may
be employed on the state railways in
the future to the proportion of 90 per
cent. The nature of tho work they are
to do is not specified, and probably will
be clerical. The concession is re.
markable one for the czar's dominion.

TO PREVENT CONTAGION.
Precautionary Measures for the Preserva-
tion of Health.

Precautionary Measures for the Preserva-
tion of Health.
Great responsibility rests upon nurses
and other attendants upon a patient i'll
with any contagious disease, hence the
value of the following practical dircc-
tons: Whenever patient is suffering
from scarlet fever, or indeed any other
contagious disease, it Is Il matter of
first Importance to see that the disease
does not extend to others. Indeed,
there is reason for believing that the
malignancy of infectious diseases may
be greatly increased by the continued
infection of the patient by himself.
1t IS, hence. of the greatest impor-
lance that thorough antiseptic and
great precautionary measures should
be taken from the very outset of an in
fectious malady. The first thing to be
done is to secure complete isolation of
the patient by continued quarantine.
9. Care should be taken to disinfect
or destroy by fire or other means,
everything capable of communicating
the infection to others, ssch as clothes
soiled by sputa or excreta, etc
g. There is good reason for believing
that in cases of scarlet fever and diph-
iberia the infectious character of the
disease may be greatly mitigated by
the employment of antiseptics
In the case of diphtheria the seat of
the disease is in the throat. Peroxide
of hydrogen and other antiseptics may
be employed to keep the throat in as
thoroughly healthful condition as pos
sible, by destroying the microbes as
fast as they are produced.
In cases of scarlet fever the source of
infectious material is the skin, hence
the importance of sponging the patient
with suitable antiseptics from the very
beginning of the disease, not emitting
the application until the end of desqua-
nation, or scaling.
Hydronaphthol dissolved in water in
the proportion of one dram to the gal
lon, is an excellent remedy for this
purpose Antisep.ic baths and alkaline
baths arc also useful for dissolving the
dead cuticle and securing its early sep
aration, before it becomes dried and
capable of being thrown into the air in
the form of fine dust. t.-Good Health.

WORKING GIRLS CLUB.
1t Is Called the "Girls' Mutual Beneflt
Club, of Chicago."

j
Club, of Chicago"
"Girls' Mutual Benefit Club"-the
name is not misnomer. Strange to
relate, girls do actually benefit each
other
The northwest part of the city is to
many citizens of Chicago as unknown a
district as the empire of Tsu King of
China. and they may therefore be
wofully oblivious of the Importance of
the Girls Mutual Benefit club.
On West Superior street, within few
doors of Ashland avenue, stands neat
three-story building of pressed brick,
with trimmings-as they say in the
millinery class-of brownstone; very
tangible proof of the seeming paradox
Girls Mutual Benefit club. Here con-
gregate every evening working girls
from all over the city, though the ma
jority of them are naturally from the
west side. Inside the building every
thing is in the most ship-shape order
Part of the lower floor is occupied by
the janitor's family, who are given rent
free in return for the care of the build
ing. Mrs. Peterson is one of the insti-
tutions of the club. The rest of the
floor is devoted to rooms for sewing and
to bath rooms, with all the modern i'm,
provements, porcelain tubs, ETC., which
the girls are invited to use. The middle
floor, containing the parlor, reception
rooms and Office, is neatly carpeted the
walls are decorated with pictures and
pretty draperies adorn the mantel.
Over the wide fireplace hangs picture
of the club house. The upper floor is
SO arranged that it can all be thrown
into one, thus giving large hall, which
is used for lectures and entertainments
The whole building is finished in
hardwood and is perfectly adapted to
the uses for which it was designed. The
kitchen is one of the favorite spots of
the house with its blazing fire and shin
ing tins it is certainly very inviting
Here the cooking lessons are given, the
girls don their white aprons and dainty
caps, roll up their sleeves, and under
the eye OF one or other of their wide
awake teachers devote themselves to the
mysteries of apple dumplings lemon

A DOCTORS ADVICE.
The Perils of Wearing Evening Dress In
Winter,

The ordinary evening dress which
convention assigns to those who go to
theaters, evening receptions, etc, com
bines a wealth of grace with much ex-
posure to air draughts.
During the progress of almost any
social function varying temperature
is encountered in passing from room to
room The cut of the corsage, the bor-
derings and trimmings make up gar.
ment peculiarly unsuited to ward off
the blasts of Boreas. Evening dresses
as rule are as unhealthful as they are
attractive.
The full dress for both man and WON.
an is unobjectionable when worn in
rooms of uniform temperature, but is
unsuited for wear elsewhere in months
in which there is a low temperature or
humid atmosphere.
The main trouble with evening dress
is the lack of protection which it offers
to the upper part of the chest. A large
surface of unprotected flesh is here ex-
posed to draughts of air. 1t is almost
dH lliDOoolblllIy w picoCiNO du CIudDlC
temperature where the exhausted
breath of many persons averages about
9S degrees and the indoor atmosphere
about 70 degrees. The best of ventila-
tion is not always adequate in meeting
this difficulty
1t would be a movement well worthy
of commendation If some dress reform
er would invent a garment which would
protect the throat and chest and at the
same time preserve the artistic effect
that is the essential characteristic of
the dress in vogue.
BY all means, if you are in evening
dress, endeavor to avoid sudden changes
of temperature, for thus are sown the
seeds of sore throats, bronchitis and
even pneumonia. Many of the diseases
directly referable to the respiratory or
gans may be traced to the exposure in
cident to evening dress. N. Y. World.

A Turkish New Year Dish.

Have you ever heard of cabobs?
Maybe not. They are queer Turkish
affairs which in Turkey are eaten as
we eat New Years cakes in this coun-
try. If you would like to eat cabob
and pretend that you are a young
Turk enjoying his New Year dish, try
this way of manufacturing it: Cut {.
large onion in thin slices, and treat a
big apple in the same way, after you
have pared and cored it. Get the cook
to slice for you four thin strips OF bacon
and four more of cold lamb or veal.
Lay the sixteen pieces of onion, apple,
bacon and cold meat upon plate and
sprinkle them with pepper and ginger.
Next take skewer and string them
upon it-meat, onion, bacon, apple and
so on. Wrap the skewers in buttered
paper and bake two hours. Eat the ca
bob from the skewer and fancy that you
are hapy little Turk on a holiday.

Progressive Girl Students.

A serious draw back to the cause OF
higher education for women in the
English universities is reported from
Oxford The cost of "chaperonage"
has risen. The older women, who are
considered indispensable escorts to the
girl students who attend examinations
and lectures, and are demanding and
receiving higher pay than ever before.
In many cases the students can not af.
ford to meet this increased expense, and
a daring reformer haa suggested that
chaperons be dispensed with. While
this has Mortified the conservatives, il
pleased the independent young women,
who are beginning to realize that there
is no lurking peril in the streets Of Ok.
