To Be seen There-If the Disease
Breaks Out in New York Where Will
End?
There are few things which have never
come to pass which seem surer of COM
ing than Cholera this spring. Three
well known physicians, one in Boston,
two in New York, have said this. A re-
cent despatch from Hamburg in the
daily papers says:
eft is feared that the seeds of death
sowed last summer VIII yield fruitful
harvest in the spring"
There is no lodging this DIR ad disease
in the s. ring and summer of 1893.
The countryis ripe for it.
Our lax immigration laws will be
wholly responsible for the death rate
through Cholera during 1898.
For years the United States has been
Europe's sewer, All the scum of her
human tides have been skinned off and
ladled to our shores.
Austria, Bavaria, Poland, Russia,
Turk Y, Italy, China, these and many
other foreign countries send the rag-tag
and bob-taii, the vicious, the depraved,
the vile, the diseased, and the utterly
lost, to our shores. This they have been
doing for years with the utmost impuni-
ty.
As famous New York physician re-
Gently remarked to the writer.
''How can we escape Cholera next
wear? Of course, it won't break out up
On 9Th Avenue, but it will eventually
reach there, and all over the land. 1t
will break out over ON Forsyth, and Di-
vision, and Hester streets, and the
Bowery, and Cherry Hill, and the Five
Points, and Roosevelt street Those
points are points of dirt and vermin.
That is where Cholera in this country
will break out. God knows where it
will end"
This is an awful but timely warning.
Cholera is deadly, that we know.
The way to escape the frightful vista
ton is to be prepared for it.
Get your house-that is your body-in
perfect order.
Purify your system.
Cleanse and enrich your blood.
Remember that the Boston Globe said
editorially:
contagious diseases seldom attack
perfectly healthy people. Persons whose
vitality is low and whose general health
is impaired, are the first to fall preys to
epidemics.
DR.. John B. Bray of Bridgton, in re-
Spouse to inquiry, said:
Certainly, people should now look
sharply after their health. If Cholera
reaches our shores everyone should be
prepared physically, so far as possible, to
withstand it. We should put our bod
les in good condition, as well as our
premises. If the blood is FOUL the liver
clogged, and the stomach out of order,
such a person is far more likely to be
among the first victims than others in
good health

The Old Sextoness.

The Prince of Wales will reopen the
north transept of st. Bartholomew's,
Smithfield, the famous church which
few American travellers fail to visit. The
restoration fund of st. Bartholomew
has just been augmented by the sum of
e700 from, of all persons in the world,
the little old woman who used to act as
sexton and show visitors round. She
was apparently worth no more than the
shoes she stood in, but when she died a
few months ago she left property valued
at over $4,000, of which American Wis
itors must have contributed very large
proportion, for few Englishmen took any
interest in the grand old church. The
old sextoness had ample cause to love it,
for she spent the greater part of her long
life in and about it, and for some years
past she had occupied room in the old
north transept, part of which, as many
Americans will remember, was also
used for a blacksmith's forge.-Ex-

Spanish Styles In Underwear.

Spanish women have not the same
styles for underwear that we have There
are fewer pieces, and these are made
long, flowing and graceful, like the
Grecian women's wardrobes, not tight
fitting, after the English mode. The
chemisettes are combined with short
skirts, and thus save the extra bagging
of material about the waist. But a
Spanish woman must have Grape, gauze
or silk for her underwear, else she is
never satisfied.
1t is astonishing how these southern
feminines love yellow and red for under
clothing. This fancy rests with them
alone, but the shades match well their
luxurious, creamy tinted flesh, and one
cannot blame them for choosing them.
Carriers the Spanish women abhor,
thinking that they spoil the superb
curves of tho kaee and the upper part
of the les, but they compromise with
tho lovely braided ribbons, which are
not tied tightly about the leg, but only
folded many times and claspsd in bow
knot in the center.
Eulalie, who is a true daughter of
Spain, though having lived half her life
in Paris and absorbed some of the
Frenchwomen's daintiest ideas, still
clings to Spanish ways of dressing, and
her lingerie is in the most approved
style of her native land.-New York

Rare Rugs From Old Carpets.

Summer time, with its bare floors and
colorless mating, is when rugs are most
needed. Here. then, is q hint which some
women may be able to use. 1t is more
than probable the house holds an old,
worn ingram carpet rolled away some
where. II this needs brushing, brush it;
then cut it into strips an inch wide, be-
ing careful not to cut across the warp,
backstitch the strips together and send
them to weaver of rag carpets with di-
rections as to the lengths you desire
woven and the injunction to use the
best warp possible. If you think it too
much trouble TO cut and sew the strips,
the weaver will doubtless do that work
also for trife. You will receive some
handsome, thick rugs, which those who
do not know the secret will think closely
allied to Turkish.
The effect, where the original carpet
was of bright color, is really charming,
and you have the satisfaction of ordering
just such lengths as suit your needs for
bay window or in front of a sofa or
bed. The rugs, which, by the way,
will not answer for stair carpet, as they
are too stiff and thick, will last indefi-
nitely. Some have been in use four years
and are still good.-Indianapolis News.

A Woman Carpenter.

The resident population of Chicago
will shortly be augmented by the ar
rival of Miss Sophie Christensen, a self
reliant young Danish woman, who ought
to get along in the world. Her father
was captain in the Danish army, who
had to live on his meager pay, SO that
his girl had no hope for a dover. So
phie resolved to be independent, and at
the age of 90 she apprenticed herself, not
without difficulty, owing to male pref
udice, to a carpenter and joiner. She
soon displayed great aptitude for the
work, and having just completed her
apprenticeship has been admitted as a
full member of the Joiners guild at Co
penhagen by unanimous vote.
In accordance with the sensible GUS
tom which prevails in Denmark Miss
Christensen had to submit specimen of
her own unaided work before being ad-
mitted to the complete honors Of the
guild She made an artistic self closing
bookcase, the beauty and finish of which
extorted the admiration of every mem
ber of the guild. The young woman,
who is now 26 years old, thinks Chicago
will be the best place for her to make a
living in, and thither she will start in
week or two.-Exchange

mo, thank you, my dear. / do not
want any fly papers or fytraps about

ago that the more things we have to call
flies the more will come. In a neighbor-
hood where flies were simply a nuisance
lived almost unmolested by them be-
cause never permitted a particle of
stale food to accumulate about the
premises" says writer.
"Flies, like good many other things,
will never stay where they are in dam
ger of starvation, and l never kept any
thing about the place to feed them with
NOT even fly paper. Everything that
could not be burned was carried as far
from the house as possible and buried.
All garbage is valuable as fertilizer,
and utilize 1t as such.
"It is my opinion that every form Of
fly paper, fly poison and flytrap, which
is baited with any substance, is just 80
much inducement for them to stay
around the house. They think-if flies
think at all-that they are going to get
something to eat, and therefore hang
around. The best fly preventive is star

were as brave as they were clever. Firm
ly convinced Of the value Of "the club"

For dozen or Is years these and SIM

women came to be known, and the club
was finally adopted by women with the
