Some women like rough cloth and man
nish buttons All women like velvet
and fur.
In wraps this material of the season
seems best fitted for two forms, the
long shaped cloak of ultra elegance
reaching to the ground, heavily
trimmed with fur and moderate OF
sleeve and epaulet. as sleeves and
epaulets go. That is the form which
women of fine figure and fat purses
have and others sigh for The other
form is the shcrtish thing of velvet
and fur-it isn't dolman, because it
isn't fitted to the figure, and it isn't a
cape, because it's too long, and
wrap" means anything which has
come upon townfui of wide shoulders
like oil on angry waves. For of these
wraps queer thing is noticed. They
have precisely the shoulders, the col
lars, the capes of the fitted garments.
but because they fall free of the figure
and are somewhat full in cut and be-
cause underneath them the gown is
full too-because of all this the shout
ders seem moderate. They seem sud
denly shrunk into insigniicance, which
illustrates again the effect of contrast.
In the shaped wrap the shoulders are
big because the waist is small and the
waist is small because the shoulders
are big. Hence the woman of the two
triangles. The capped woman destroys
the geometrical. She is anorphous.
She is beauty Of material, not form.

femininity since its glories burst upon

Tobacco and Microbes.

Dr. Tassinari has published in the
Italia Termale the result of an investi-
CATION into the effects of tobacco smoke
on microbes. He finds that the smoke
of the Cavour, Virginia and Tuscan ci-
gars and all black and chopped tobaccos
possesses a very pronounced bactericide
power, especially against the bacillus of
Asiatic cholera. This microbicide action
may in all probability be attributed to
the products Of nicotine. In epidemics
Of cholera and typhus the use Of tobacco
may be rather useful than hurtful. To-
bacco smoke merits special consideration
on the hygiene of the mouth as a pro-
phylactic means of combating microbian
affections Of the buccal cavity.

4 nn.hnl Lord of Other DAYS.

There was Il young lover who was
compound-very rare-of high rank and
great abilities, with sweetness, great
modesty and sAyness. Most noble lords
know their own value and behave ac-
cordiugly. This noble lord, however,
was modest. He thought himself so far
so very far-below the worth of the
young lady whom he loved that he was
afraid to speak. Some women do not
understand this modesty. Believe me,
ladies, It's a sure and certain sign of n
noble character, because only a lofty
soul can conceive the existence of a god
dess. We measure others, you see, by
ourselves. 1t is also a sure sign Of love,
because such man can only love wo-
man whom he deeply respects. Encour-
age this modesty, my daughters. Above
all, do not laugh at it. This young man,
therefore, was afraid to speak, and the
delay, which is at first, am told, pleas
ing and exciting, began to grow monoto-
nous.
one day they were playing cards for
money, after the fashion of their gen
Grafton. The lady won; the loser paid.
1T is, he said, half a crown. Iwish
indeed it were a crown"
AT least" replied the lady, your
lordship can give me a coronet."
And behold miracle Forhis tongue
was loosened, and his eyes glowed, and
his lips spakc They lived happy, one
may add. though it is an unusual ending
to story, ever afterward.-Walter Be

For Sweet Charity's Sake.

Jesus saith TO Simon Peter, simon son of
Jonas, lowest thou me more Than these? He
saith unto him, Yea, Lore; thoh knowest
that love thee lie said unto him, Feed my
lambs"
The Children's Fresh Air Society of
Baltimore was formed in May, 1891,
for the purpose Of sending poor city
children, ranging in age from six to
fourteen years, from crowded homes
and sitting summer heat, into the
country for a two weeks visit. All
children sent ont by the Society are
first examined by physician, all
their travelling expenses paid, and
those who receive them care for them
without charge.
The Society desires to send from
l 900 TO 1900 children to the country
from now until the middle OF Septem-
Der. Its territory will be that trav
ersed bv the various railroads leading
into Baltimore, AID its plan Of work
rs follows: To have the ministers OF
the Gospel and others i'll the towns
along said lines, who are Interested
i'm charitable work, act as committees
to secure homes for the children
among the farmers and suburban res
idpnts, said committees TO report as
soon rs possible to the Office of the
Society the number Of children for
whom entertainment has been Sc
cured, and the exact time the farmers
wish them. The Society will arrange
al once TO send the children, in the
care OF one Of its members, who will
turn them over TO the local commit
tees or to the farmers.
4 humber OF children have already
been sent to the country; some are
there Nv; and others are Being sent
each week. The ladies from the var
ious churches in the city, who have
charge of the work Of selecting the
children, report that they can secure
as muny as homes can be provided
for. while the good people of Bati-
more literally respond to every re-
quest OF the Society for mems.
The country visit is bright spot
in the life of many a little one, de
prived of the comforts, and even
sometimes of the bare necessities of
life, and no better testimony can be
given as to the physical benefits re-
ceivcd by the children than that Of
the Christian physicians interested in
the work; while the moral iniluenc e,
measurable only by God who grants
It. is yet seen in many who afterwards
attain to lives of noble usefulness,
and instances can be cited where
whole families have been reached
and elevated thereby.
1t is earnestly hoped that each
reader of the REGISTER will do what
he can to assist in the work. If you
can entertain one or more children,
so inform your pastor or write to the
Society, stating when and how many.
If you cannot take any yourself, do
what you can TO assist the committee
in your town (if you have one, if not,
form one), to secure homes for the
children.

Ct. Blank, died few days ago near
Allentown, Pa, from the effects Of Il
rats bite During April an addition
was built to the residence of DIR.
Blank. during which cellar grating
was left open, ard II number of rats
got into the house. Among the mum
Der was an unusually large aud vie
ious one, which one day jumped on
Mrs. Blanks back and attempted to
bite her. A few days later the rodent
got into Miss Keating's bedroom, and
bit her on the little finger of the right
hand. The wound was a slight one
and apparently healed. Three weeks
later the finger became intlamed and
sore, and her arm began to swell.
She then went to her parents home
and sought medical treatment. The
girl suffered intense agony, and Sat
urday she died.

The 1reirht of Crowds.

The load which is produced by a dense
crowd Of persons is generally taken at 50
10 100 pounds per square foot and is con-
sideped to be the greatest uniformly dis
tributed load for which floor need be
proportional. That this value may be
largely exceeded in an actual crowd was
pointed out by Professor W. c. Kernot
Of the Melbourne university, Australia,
in paper before the Victorian Institute
Of Engineers. In an actual trial a class
Of students averaging 1873 pounds each
in weight were crowded in a lobby con-
tanning ,S23 square feet, making an ay-
erage floor load Of 134.7 pounds. There
was still room to have placed another
man, which would have brought mp the
loading to 1851 pounds per square foot.
Professor X, not also quoted from
Stoney. who placed 50 Irish laborers
averaging Is pounds each in weight in
an empty ship dgckhouse measuring 81
square feet floor area. This was load
of 147.4 pounds pr square foot. In an
other test, with - laborers crowded into
a hut 0 feet by feet s inches, Stoney
produced load Of 1l3 pounds per
square foot and estimated that two or
three more men could have been squeezed
in. 1t appears from these experiments
that while the figures ordinarily assumed
Of 50 to 100 pounds are sufficiently cor
rect for spaces on which there is no
cause to induce the collection Of great
crowds, larger figures, say 40 to $50
pounds per square foot, should be used
for railway stations and platforms, en-
frances and exits to places Of public as
semblies or Of Office buildings, bridge
sidewalks, paycment5 over vaults and
other places where dense crowds are
likely to gather.-Engineering News.

Good Advice.

this place. had a severe attack of tluX.
\ physician was called who treated
him for four or five days, but as he
continued to grow worse the family
decided TO have the aid of another
doctor in the case, and sent to Ravens
wood 70: prominent physician Of
that town. Before he arrived, how
ever. | had some conversation with
the physician in attendance, and said
to him: Il believe Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and DiarrhGa Remedy
worthy OF trial" He readily con
sented and | gave him bottle. One
dose of that remedy gave relief. When
the doctor from Ravenswood arrived
his advice was, Keep quiet and con
tinue useing Chamberlain's Collie
Cholera and DiarrhGa Remedy
Which we did and in two days was
cured. c. b. HOwLES, druggist, San
