Dishwater Changed Once . Year.

Dishwater Changed Once . Year.
The dishwater in which the plates and
dishes are washed at the great restaurants
of the Paris boulevards is only renewed
once in every twelve months. This is the
strict but scarcely sober truth. The method
is far less unclean than it appears at first
sight. For the dishwater, after standing
a week or 80, develops strong ammoniacal
properties, which have the effect of i'm.
mediately removing all grease from the
plates and dishes dipped therein.
The grease thus looaened by the ammonia
remains floating on the surface and Is
skinned off once a day, placed in tub
and disposed Of by the chef a. one If his
perquisitea. By the end Of twelve months
the dishwater has become converted into
almost pure ammonia.-New England

From the Heart.

A son of dignifed Hartford man, al
though not old in years, has a good bit of
age in his brains.
The family observe the custom of silent
blessing at the table, and at dinner recently
the 6-year-old spoke up:
"Why don't you say it aloud, pa?"
"You can say it aloud if you choose my
son." replied the father, and bowling his
head solemnly the little fellow originated
this unique grace:

THE "GIRLS' POLY"

Some Of the Advantages Of London's
Practical Working Girls Club.
Perhaps the most complete and practi-
cally successful working girls club that
has yet been organized is one that has been
provided through the generosity of good
man and his devoted wife. 1t is in London,
at the West End, in Langham place, just
beyond Regent street, and adjoining the
well known Langham hotel 1t is COM
monty known as the 'Girls' Poly" to dis
tinguish it from an institution with which
it is closely allied, the Young Mems Poly
technic institute, which is universally
known among young people in London rs
the "Poly." The more precise name of the
club in question is the Young Women's
INSTITUTE
The fees for institute membership are
very small eighteen pence per quarter, or
five shillings (S1.25) per year. The estab-
lishment is open in all its parts for the
benefit of the members. from $50 to 10
in the evenings. The membership fee
gives free use of sitting rooms. library.
reading and music rooms game rooms,
recreation grounds and numerous other
advantages, and also entities the fortunate
young women to admission at low tuition
rates to an immense range of classes and
entertainments.
The purely club features of the place are
highly priced by the girls. 1t is no small
thing for them to have bright, cheerful
establishment that they regard as their
own, where they may resort in the even
ings, and in connection with which they
have access to so much that is diverting
and instructive. 1t is needless to empha-
size the importance of such privilege, to
any one who knows how the average young
workingmen and women of our great cities
are obliged to live.
In the refreshment rooms the member
may procure her cup of tea and light
lunch, at a cost decidedly less than else
where. And there is served in the capa-
cious dining room an excellent and sub
stantial dinner, in courses, at sixpence.
For fourpence, very good but less bounti-
full dinner may be had by the more econom-
ical young women of business. These priv
ileges are, Of course, limited to members.
The institute dining rooms are vastly
more pleasant than the cheap restaurants
or lunchrooms to which the girls might
otherwise be compelled to resort, and the
food at the institute is incomparably bet
ter in quality and cheaper in price.
All the influences of the place are home
like, wholesome and improving. There
seems to be tacit understanding among
the young women who meet in these agree
able quarters that they must be on their
best behavior-must live up to their blue
china" so to speak.-Albert Shaw in

Girls in Dry Goods Stores.

i've made close study Of the working

biggest of the mammoth dry goods stores
on Fulton street, land know her, as class,
to be honorable and self respecting. She
earns good wages, too, and as she is pru-
dent and saving often has a modest bank
account. OF course my experience does not
go beyond the class of girls employed in
dry goods stores. have been in number
of cities in the south and west and am in
position to judge of the moral and intel
lectual status of the saleswoman as she has
appeared to me. The chief characteristic
have noticed in the Brooklyn girl is her
independence, not the independence which
becomes offensive and unbearable, but the
evidence of modest worth and respect which
pervades everything she does. Her de-
meanor is unobtrusive, yet by no means
shrinking, and she answers your questions
frankly and without hesitation.
I'm point of dress the Brooklyn sales
woman is by far the superior of her New
York sister. She is always neat and clean,
not SO much so from necessity as choice.
Do | approve of uniformity in dress!
Under certain conditions, yes. In big dry
goods stores, where saleswomen are apt
to be mistaken for patrons, some distin-
gushing mark is absolutely necessary. l
do not approve of what you call a uni
form-that is, kind of livery in which the
wearer is made to feel her position-but it
is we'll to have all dressed in dark colors of
the same shade "-BroOklyn Ea1le.

The Use of the Tonsils.

Those glands situated in the back part OF
the mouth, and familiarly known ~ the
tonsils, have always appeared in physio-
logical eyes as somewhat of Il puzzle-that
is to say, their functions or uses have not
been accurately determined. They are
ductless glands, and unlike the liver. saliv-,
airy glands, sweetbread or tear glands, do
not possess any tubes or ducts leading
from them and conveying away any secre-
ton they may manufacture. We can un
derstand on this footing how the spleen
itself was an anomaly in the eyes of the.
ancients, seeing that, like the tonsils lit
had no outlet, and that unlike the liver or
the other glands above named. it did not
seem to elaborate any fluid or product Of
use in the body.
But the functions of the tOnsils have of
very late days received new interpreta-
ton from the researches of DR.. Lowell Gull
land. He claims that the tonsils are really
glands, which are devoted to the manufac-
ture of the white blood cells. Nor is this
all. DR.. Gulland tells us that while many
of these important white cells pass off into
the blood circulation, thence to wander on
their beat, like sanitary policemen, through
the tissues, many others take up their po-
sitions on the outside of the tonsls them.
selves.
This latter move on the part of these
white cells is very interesting one, for.
as they live on the tonsil services. they act
as a set of custom house officers in prevent
ing injurious or contraband matter
chiefly germs, of course-from passing on-
ward to the throat, stomach and lungs
This is both an extraordinary and an ex-
tremely interesting discovery for it makes
plain to us how and why many of the
germs we inhale are prevented from doing
injury to us. They may pass into the
mouth, but the Gordon of white blood cells
on the tonsils acts as Il fairly efficient bar
rier, which the bulk of the germs we in
hale may not pass, and we are thus secured
from the germ invasion of both the ,liges-
tive system and the breathing system

SUNDAY SERMONS
REV. DR.. RIKGR DISCOURSES UPON "AN-
ARCHY AND THE GOSPEL"
To a Large Congregation at the Fourth Street
Church-Patiodc Sermons By Rev. ].
Engle, at the Zane Stree! Church.

At the Fourth ST. NJ. E. Church last
evening a large congregation was pres
ent in spite Of the oppressive heat. DR..
A. B. Riker, the pastor, occupied the
pulpit and delivered an excellent SER
mon upon Anarchy and the Gospel" a
theme suggested by the assassination OF
President Carnot. He dwelt upon the
great important question that is at
present agitating all nations, the evil
Of anarchy.
He drew a vivid picture of the mourn
ing that at present pervades the repuo-
lie of France and the extreme sorrow
that reigns at the home of Madame Car
not and her sons. He told how the dis
tinguished President was seen driven
out TO resort on the quiet Sabbath
evening and his lie taken at the hands
OF an assassin.
This is not the first time that the life
OF a distinguished head OF a country
has been assaIled. Within the last
thirty years twenty-seven heads OF ma
tions have been assailed and their lives
taken at the hands Of Anarchists. In
this day no great man at the head OF
any prominent achievement or lnstltr-
ton is safe, unless he has a
body-guard. Anarchy is rapidly and
alarmingly gaining foothold through
outIhe universe. II originates IN the
lowest dives Of vice. where liquor and
gambling are the predominant evils.
The Chicago trouble of 1856 arose first
in a saloon, where a shoemaker read
long list of statistics, showing the an
nual incomes Of the crowned heads OF
the different counties, in order TO in
cite these supplemented people against
the rulers: aud he attempted
10 convince them that the wealth OF
these rulers was gained from their Ia
Dor. Such teachings led them
to believe that they had been tram led
upon, and now was their time 10 put al
end 10 such work.
What followed? Death to both the
police who tried 10 Queli them when In
a riotous state, and death by the gal
lows to those who actively participated
in the dreadful affair.
II Congress would only take the sub
iect OF anarchy up and make an urgent
appeal to have this serious matter
looked after, we all could feel that
these people would soon be quoted
down. When the French Presidents
life was taken he was on his way TO a
theatre. That was not the place for
him on such q day as Sunday. Such
things as attending public amusements
on the Sabbath day is anarchy against
religion.
