A Powerful Antiseptic.

Extensive researches made upon cor
rosive sublimate by DR.. McClintock of
London show though the substance is not
valuable germicide-germs Withstand
ing its action for some time-it proves
to possess, of all substances, the greatest
antiseptic power, so that germ treated
with the article, unless perchance it gets
into the blood or is exposed to very ex-
ceptional conditions, is powerless to
grow-that is, it is probable that a spore
ofsubtilis or anthrax treated with subli-
mate, 1 in 1000, and then thrown on the
soil or into water, will not terminate,
owing to the fact that the capsule of
sublimate surrounding it is not removed.
1t is found that corrosive sublimata
forms with cellulose, as cloth, filter pa
per, etc., with silk, with albuminous
bodies, with some part Of bacteria, prob
ably the envelope, chemical compound
that cannot be removed with any amount
of washing in water. Thus sublimate
when acting on germ forms a capsule
around it that protects the germ for a
time from the further action of the sub
Innate and in turn forms an impenetra-
BILE barrier to the growth of the organism
unless removed. This barrier may bere-
moved with salines.

Novel Competition For Nurses.

The London hospital is Offering two
money prizes, first one of $50 and a
second one of $25, for the best plan of a
nurses home, the competition to in
clude "lady superintendent, matrons
and nurses in the British empire, the
United States and the countries of Eu-
rope"
The idea was suggested in the course
of the discussion on nurses homes at the
international congress in Chicago, when
DR.. Billings, the president, pointed out
that the time had arrived for women to
demonstrate the latent power claimed in
them in a practical and definite form,
and no longer to leave it to man, can
impotent, weak creature aswomen knew
him to be-" to plan and erect homes fol
nurses and raining school buildings.

THE SNAKE BITE WAS FATAL.

Ard the Fed Nosed Han Went on to Tell
How the Venom Got In It's Work.
"It's all humbug, this talk about rat
tlesnakes being so deadly poison" said
a red faced man in the smoking car.
"Pve lived among 'em. They used to
be so thick out where I live that you
had to be mighty careful where you put
your feet down if you didn't want to
hurt a RATHER or two every time you
stepped.
"My bed was never any more than big
enough for me and the easy conscience l
always slept with, but I've woke up
more times than I've got fingers and
toes and found that two or three rattle
snakes had managed to find room with
us. They were plenty, tell you, out
where live. But deadly? Pooh! Why,
I've known scores and scores of people to
be socked, and socked deep, by rattlers,
and 1 never knew of but one instance
where a rattler's bite was fatal; never
but once out of more cases than there's
pimples on a goose.
"Bill Bulger was the man that was
bit that time-a great, big, rough scuff
of log chopper that didn't look as if a
whole den of rattl srs could raise as much
as flea bite on him. But he went to
teasing a big buck rattlesnake that had
come down to camp to look around one
day, and the snake just threw his upper
teeth against Bill couple Of times, and
every drop Of poison he had he emptied
into Bills wrist. Holler? Great jees-
wax, how Bill did holler! We grabbed
him and hustled him over to the Pigs
Ear shebang ON t'other side of the camp
and began to decant rum into him, and
it wasn't long before Bill looked as if he
was glad he was bit.
Everybody said he'd die, though, sure
pop, because that buck RATHER must have
unloaded into Jim close ON to three fin
gers of the best poison he had. Conse.
quently folks were surprised more than
you can think when they got around
next morning and found Bill on deck as
clipper as red squirrel and sound as a
white oak knot"

next seat. 81 thought you said that bite

Artificial Auroras,

Artificial miniature auroras of the boz
reals variety have been produced by
both De la Rive, the French savant, and
Lenstrom, the Swedish astronomer. In
Professor Lenstrom's experiments, which
were made in Finland, the peak of a high
mountain was surrounded with coil of
wire, pointed at intervals with tin nibs.
The wire was then charged with cleo
tricity, whereupon brilliant aurora ap-
peared above the mountain in which
spectroscopic analysis revealed the
greenish yellow rays so characteristic in
natures display of northern Lights

Working Girls Coming Back.

When the gates of the Worlds fair al
Chicago were thrown open, there was a
grand rush of servant girls from all over
the country to secure positions in the ho-
tells and restaurants. 1t was estimated
that at least couple of thousand of such
girls went from Boston alone. Now
many of the girls are coming back to the
employment Offices in Boston and apply
ing for positions nearer home. Two
months ago the employment offices were
looking for capable girls to take posi-
tions as domestics in private families;
now they are turning them away. The
proportion of working girls without en-
ployment in Boston is estimated to be
fully as large as that of men.-Boston

WORKING woMEN's EARNINGS.
Only Equal to Half the Average Expendi-
ture For Food and Clothes.


A remarkable report has just been IS
sued by the Working Woman's society
of this city, which, it is claimed, is based
upon a careful investigation of the con-
dition of the working women of the
state.
This report shows that the average
earnings of the working women are only
Sc per week and that this is little more
than half the average expenditure per
capita in the United States for food and
clothing, not counting room rent.
The average expenditure per week per
capita in the United States is reported as
1913 for clothing and $3.50 for food.
The report deals more especially with
the condition of the middle aged women
who work for living, and it states that
such women find it extremely difficult to
obtain employment, as most employers
prefer young women who live at home
and accept smaller wages.
A partial investigation of the aims
houses shows that on Jan, of this year
there were 1000 female inmates in 80
counties. According to the census of
1880 there were only 49, 900 of both sexes
in the almshouses of the entire 60 coun-
ties.
There are 100000 women in this city
engaged in gainful occupations. Of these
Z per cent are widowed, divorced or sep
arated from their husbands, and 10 per
cent are married. Ten per cent are more
than As years old, and per cent are more
than 60.
Most of the women who are dependent
upon their own earnings for a livelihood
live in furnished rooms, cooking for
themselves. Many of them, the report
declares, do not eat meat more than once
week, and the majority do not spend
more than 81 a week for food. There is
a steady proportion of about one-third of
the working women out of employment.
Notwithstanding, the moral tone of New
York's working women is high.
Therecords of the insane asylums show
that So per cent of their inmates are
women, and that of these rs per cent are
domestics.
The report, which is signed by Alice
L. Woodbridge, the secretary of the So
ciety, closes by recommending plan of
state insurance for women, by which
small compulsory weekly payments by
all less than As years old will insure a
pension sufficient for support to all more
than 55.-New York Herald.

The Growth of Kindereartens.

Miss Agnes E. Mckenzie is supervisor
of all the public kindergartens of Lon
don, Ont. The city has eight kinder
gartens, containing about 500 children,
and the system has worked so well that
the city is constantly extending it. Ward
after ward is calling for kindergarten,
and the popular demand is still in ex'
cess of the supply. The success of the
work is principally due to Miss McKen-
zie, who began five years ago with &c
children. She has now 10 assistants and
training class of kindergarten teachers.
A fee of 10 cents a month is charged for
each child, and this covers all the run
ming expenses. Miss Mckenzie herself
teaches the largest of the kindergartens,
besides supervising all the others. Lon

Cosmetics Among the Romans.

All that had been previously done in
the way of facial decoration was left far
in the shade by the ancient Romans.
All the Latin NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. poets,
naturalists and others-mention it in
one way or another. 1t was the practice
of Roman actors, as it has been of those
of the profession since the theater has
existed. Many of the emperors used
paint more or less freely. Heliogabalus,
one of the most eccentric, when he en-
tered Rome for the first time, had his
eyelashes painted black and his cheeks
red and white. In the time of Augustus
the custom was universal among women
of fashion, details of which are given by
Horace, Catullus, Tibullus, Ovid, Pro.
pertius and the rest. Martial speaks of
the chalk of Fabulla that fears the rain,
and the wax of ISABELLA that fears the
sun.
Horace mentions red lead and carmine
as among the articles employed. Ju-
venal in one of his satires describes a
paste that covers the faces of wives and
adheres with tenacity to the faces of hus-
bands. Coquettes, according to Horace,
used paste prepared from beans, much
like that used by some modern French
women, and were also given to the use
of cummin. Mandragorai is mentioned by
Pliny, and peoples by Ovid.--San Fran

Our Other Self,

Each of US has two selves, the higher
and the lower. When God seems out of
reach, as is often the case, and our pray
ers return to us heavier and sadder than
when they left our lips, it is a good
plan to commune with that alter ego
which is shade nearer the divine, that
part which longs to help and to over
come, but is held down by the infrmi-
ties of the lower nature. Ask it for
strength and instruction, and by SO do
ing help the whole man. God is so often
beautifully found In such ways.-Ameri-
can Woman's Journal.
