Praise For,Amerioan Women.

The usual cry reaches us from across
the other side of the channel. English
women, who can dress smartly enough
at home are wearing out their old
clothes, and, worse than that, allowing
themselves to look absolutely untidy at
continental watering places. At railroad
stations they appear gloveless, with hats
and wells awry, and their boots old and
dusty. Never does it 80 behoove a WON

more particularly en- evidence An Amer
lean can be spotted in moment, wheth-
er in a railway carriage or on board a
steamer. AS a rule, she eschews the
sailor hat when en- voyage. Instead, she
wears a trim smart "boat" shape OF
waterproof felt, with waterproof RIB
bons, and bristling with wings stuck in
by a cunning hand. Her gauze veil is
always fresh and immaculate, her
gloves easy fitting, but well cut and
newly bought. Her skirt never drag

Matches and Insurance.

''Man in 66 wants some parlor matches.
He saws these eight day sticks are con-
founded nuisance" the bellboy said to
the clerk in one Of the hotels yesterday.
"Tell him he'll have to get along with
the old style match answered the
clerk. ''The insurance companies don't
allow parlor matches in the rooms.
"Yes, that's fact" he continued in
answer to a surprised questioner. "In-
surance policies of nearly all companies
prohibit the keeping and use of parlor
matches in any part of hotel, but they
are generally kept in the offices because
they are in greater favor and more con-
yenient than the sulphur match, and the
requirements of the policy is to that ex-
tent overlooked by both its holders and
the issuing company. There isn't much
chance for an accidental ignition of a
parlor match to do much harm in hotel
Office, but they are dangerous things in
rooms where carpets or curtains or stray
paper are liable to catch fire from them.
"They are not only more easily lighted
by accident, such as stepping upon them
but, as is not generally known, they often
break out in fame from spontaneous
combustion. You may judge how easily
this is liable to happen by holding
bunch of them in the dark and watching
the flame that continually arises from
them. The sulphur match is not so dan
gerous in any of these particulars"

r. IN. ,,rl.ntaI Dance to Conner

The peritoneal paroxysms of the dan
GERS at the Chicago fair from Cairo and
Constantinople, from Teheran and Tan
qier. from Ispahan and Algeria, have
met with prompt public condemnation.
Energetic criticism has forced the police
TO action and the dancers to a compara-
tive ouiescence which saves the suscep-
tibilities Of the occidental audience and
the risk of the oriental dancers from an
attack of peritonitis. Accustomed as
the dancers are to their peculiar move
ment. it has been stimulated by Chicago
applause to an insane exaggeration of
the flexible and sinuoqs swaying of the
eastern dance, dangerous to the dancers
and disgusting to the audiences.
Condemned as the dance has been,
however. it has proved so popular and
awakened such masculine applause as is
certain to cause its appearance on the
variety stage. At first it will doubtless
be suppressed, as it has been in past ap-
pearances, but the Amer an public has
a singular habit of accepting in the end
with applause what it earlier suppresses
with the police court.
The prospects are therefore excellent
that the danse du ventre, which has first
come before the country as part of the
ethnological section at Chicago, over
which Professor T. w. Putnam of Har-
ward university presides, will yet be seen
, on every stage. This is, we believe, the
first instance in which a college profes-
sor has superintended so remarkable an
addition to our amusements, but we can
assure theater managers that this east
ern dance is mild and meaningless by
the side of some dances and displays
which study of the fascinating study
of ethnology will reveal to them and
the public. Philadelphia Press.

Tho Danger of Trivial wounds.

A medical paper commits itself to
the statement that many lives are losl
each year in consequence Of the lack OF
a little common sense respecting simple
cuts or wounds of the hands or otheI
parts. Several cases have been record
ed of inquests relating to persons who
have died from blood poisoning arising
from small cuts on the hands. The his
tory in all of these cases varies but lit
tie, and it is practically the same. A
man, for example, while working at his
trade, or even while carrying out the
simple detail of cutting a piece OF
bread, receives a small cut on the hand.
The injury is SO trivial that anything Is
considered good enough with which to
stop the bleeding, and this end having
been attained no more is thought OF it.
The small wound is left to take care OF
itself and is exposed to all sorts OF filth
mess, and sources of infection.
By good luck nothing may happen.
but the public would do well to bear In
mind that from the most trivial injury
to the skin acute septic@mia may sup
ervene and may rapidly be followed by
fatal termination. By thorough at
tention to cleanliness the untoward con-
sequences of wound liable to become
infected can be effectually. prevented.
On the other hand, when the septlc@mic
attack has declared itself, as a rule,
little can be done by the surgeon to
stem the virulence with which it de-
velops. 1t should therefore be borne
in mind that SO long as wounds, how
ever small, remain unhealed. the risk
of contracting blood poisoning will al
ways be present.
