"Lady Drummers "

4 neat little woman went tripping up to the register at the Louisville hotel the other night, inscribed "P. M. Bru- ner, Dayton, , in q clear, bold hand and left orders to be aroused in time for the early morning train for Frankfort. Miss Bruner is one of the few real female drummers on the read, Her work is not of the female book agent kind, but she is regularly employed like any drum mer and draws a salary that is much handsomer than many of her male com petitors can boast of. There are of course many female agents flying about the country. but the genuine female drummer is rarity, at least in these parts, so the hotel men say. There are only two who stop at the hotel. One of these made $5, 000 last year from salary and commission on all goods sold over q certain amount. Miss Brnner supports a mother in Ohio and is we'll able to do it, for she is said to be a hustler of no mean ability Courier Jour nal

S$'3t E:tons.

The natives of Lucoa, ill Italy, assert that the scorpion will destroy itself if exposed to e sudden light, and writer in Nature said that lis informant sild her friends, while residing during the summer months at tha baths of Lueca, were much annoyed by the intrusion of small black scorpions into the house and their being seereted among the bed- clothes, in shoes and in other articles of dress; that they soon became adopts ill catching the scorpions and disposiug of them in the manner suggested. ''This consisted in confning the animal under an inverted drinking glass or tumbler below which card was inserted when the capture was made and then waiting till dark, suddenly bringing the light of 8 candle near to the glass in which the animal was confined. No sooner was this done than the scorpion invariably showed signs of great excitement, run ming round and round the interior of the tpmbler with reckless velocity for number of times.
 This state having lasted for minute or more, the animal suddenly became quiet, and turning it's tail, or the hinder part of its body, oyer it's back, brought it's recurved sting down upon the mid- dle of the head, and piercing it forcibly in a few seconds became quite motion less, and, in fact, quite dead. This ob- servation was repeated very frequently
 in truth, it was adopted as the best plan of getting rid of the pests, and the young people were in the habit of han ding them with impunity immediately after they were so killed and of preserv- ing many of them as euriosities ;" It is known that scorpions kill themselves when surrounded by ring of fire.

safEraee and the Home.

The. San Antonio (Tex.1 Daily Elk press of recent date contained letter from Elizabeth A. Edwards, an Okla hema lady, demonstrating against the views expressed by Bishop Johnston of Texas i'll all address before the graduat- ing class of St. Mary's Hall, San Ali tonic. Mrs. Edwards shows that the bishop fails to realize the position occu- pied by women today and the trend of thought in favor of the equality of the sexes. She also makes an excellent plea for woman suffrage ill behalf of the home, in which she says:
 Men dc not vote for measures that meet the approval of wife or mother. They vote to suit themselves, and they themselves are the product not of the home, but of all the environments that lie outside the home. Shall woman not desire the ballot then, that the influence of her pure, moral nature may make it. self felt in shaping the conditions that control the destinies of her children?

In Place of White Shirts.

Every woman enjoys the sense of daintiness which spotless clean white petticoat gives. But not every woman can afford this luxury. The laundry bill which surely stares her in the face is appalling. Less expensive and almost as dainty are the new undergarments of linen dimity They are ecru in color and made with deep rufie tastefully embroidered ill dark shades of silk.
 Skirts of black mohair or morean wear much better than the petticoats of silk. They have much the same effect when made with silk ruflles. Don't make the raffles of old silk which you may have in the house, left over from 8 gown which has seen better days. There is no economy in it. The rufiies will be- come worn before you have had the skirt a week. It pays to buy good silk for this purpose.

The total number of sigma lures received to the women's suffrage appeal is PAS, 674 Of these 50, 913 are from Scotland, 6, $50 from Ireland, 51,- 136 from London, the remainder being distributed throughout England and Wales. The signatures include the heads of nearly all the colleges for wom- ell, and large proportion of the head mistresses of high and other public schools for girls, and women serving on the boards of guardians and school boards. The leading women in the medical profession have signed, and a number of the most eminent in itera- ture and art, besides many of wide so- cial influence and leading workers ill the many movements for the general well being.

The Latest Fad.

The latest fashionable freak among women who are blessed with pretty hands is to wear an immense ring, like a Roman Catholic bishops, on the first finger of the right hand. It used to be considered the height of vulgarity to place a ring on the index finger, but now this decoration is the dernier cri. The ring mxst be a superb one and must not partake of the slender and graceful daintiness of the 'marquise" circle. It must be solid, big and respectfully ee- elesiastio i'll it's appearance. The felni- nine mind, always desirous of presenting eontrasted effects to poor humanity, sees the delicately sarcastic anomaly of a little, white, frivolous looking hand wearing a big, aggressively solid sort of ring.

 To keep Iiusifns Crisp.
 To keep muslin dresses looking fresh they should not be allowed to hang in closets with woolen dresses or where the door is opened frequently. A dress that is kept i'll wardrobe divan retains its sparkling crisp look long after one that is left hanging in much used closet. If you have no wardrobe divan, lay the skirt ill bureau drawer and fold the skirt over the top-not at the bottom Then put the waist in dress box, with all the ribbons and acces- sories. If bureau drawers are scarce, there is still another plan. Buy half a dozen of the long dress boxes that dry goods stores use to hold ready made gowns when sent home. Put the skirt and waist into one of these. These boxes can be piled under the bed o1 lounge, and so kept out of sight. Even the dampness that enters room through an open window is sufficient to take the crispness out of muslins and organdies, and they never look as well afterward

The Deadliest Poison.
brooklyn Eagle. |


To the best of our knowledge, the
most deadly poison is that which was
discovered by Prof. Frazer of Edinburgh,
Scotland, and known as shophaDthdin.
He separated it from the African poison
plant shophanthus hispidus by means
of ether and alcohol. AS little as a one
thousand mllionth part of an ounce of
crystalized shophahtnidin produces a
distincIy injurious effect upon the heart
and very small quantity is fatal.
Another deadly poison is cyanogen gas
TIE principal ingredient of hydrocyanic
or prussic acid At ordinary tempera-
lures it is sipmly gas but can be con-
densed by cold and pressure into thin
coloress liquid, and becomes a solid at
80 degrees Fahrenheit. The inhalation
in it's gaseous state of a most minute
quantity would cause instant death. One
of the most deadly poisons is arsenin-
retted hydrogen, or arsenic. which is
formed by accomplishing an alloysof arsen-
ic and zinc with sulphuric acid. IL is
colorless gas, possessing fet1d odor
of garlic, and acts as a most deadly poi
son. Adolph Ferdinand Gehlen, a chem
list born about 1775 at Butow, in Pomera-
mia, was the discoverer of it. While expert
menting with it at Munich, on July
18th, he inhaled a single bubble of the
pure gas and died in eight days from the
effect. The accident occurred through
his smelling at the joints of his appara-
tus to discover a flaw. Others engage
in chemical operations have died from the
effects of this poison i'll three days.

Artificial Sugar.

For many years the artificial production
of sugar has been the occasion of many
experiments. Theaahope of obtaining by
the union of certain chemical elements
this valuable substance has led to efforts
that have resulted in producing glucose,
what is called ''invert sugar. and many
other exceedingly sweet elements, but in
no case has the pure, normal sugar been
found as the consequence of the numerous
efforts in this direction. But little reli.
ance is placed on the claims of an italian
scientist, VINO asserts that he has actually
produced sugar from gases and vapor
The world will wait with no little interest
for the still further development of the
Italian's ideas, for to have made single
ounce of sugar is an achievement that will
win fame and fortune for the indefatiga-
BILE toiler in the chemical fields of the

Gas Lamps as Weather Prophets.

Il beg leave to explain to you and the
public generally method of weather fore
casting which l discovered about eight
or ten years ago and have since elaborated
daily. 1t is done by closely observing
and understanding the various shapes and
shades of the gas flame as visible in a
street lamp about 100 yards off. The fol-
lowing prognostics will speak for them
selves:
''Prognostic For Snow-A clean, bright
light, with center bright as silver. And
as there is generally frost when snow
comes it is indicated by tall from the
bottom of the light, resembling wine bot,
tie turned upside down The size of tail
will show the degree of frost.
s'Prognostic For Sunshine-The frost
tail is solid, but for sunshine it is made
OF rays closely pressed together There is
very particular point to be observed
here. The moment the ray tall is seen,
similar tall is to be observed at certain
be no sunshine next day.
"Prognostic For Rain-Rays out from
the side and bottom of the light Candle
flame shade). The rain will be in proper
ton to the rays.
''Prognostic For Haze or Fog-Haze has
the white flame, and the fog has the same
shade toned down nearly as the candle
flame. Cloudy and dull is indicated by
the pressure of the atmosphere.
''Prognostic For Thunder-A very small
flame, but bright as silver, with the slight
est touch of a mauve tone.
''Prognostic For Wind-The reflection
around this light, and in proportion will
be the wind or storm.
1.-The Prognostic For Heat-A hazy fur
around the light. The light must be about
100 yards distant from you. William
