A Few Points ON Etiquette.

The social season is about to open
and the following few points OF etl
quette are appropos:
Girls should bear in mind that it is
a lady's place to recognize a gentle
man first as it depends on her whether
the acquaintance continues or not,
In entering room the gentleman
always follows the young lady.
Always rise for an older person.
The young lady always seats her
self first before any gentleman will do
so.
In making introductions the young
man is always presented to the girl,
never the other way round.
Never introduce any young man to
your girl friends without first asking
their permission, and then say: "Mlss
D, I want to present Tor INTRODUCED
Mr.. A to you"
1t is sufficient to acknowledge an
introduction by a simple bow, unless
there is some special reason for more
cordial forms. Handshaking is not
good form in an introduction in ball
room.

A Cats Breath.

breaths, intended by nature to act as an

fully watch a cat playing with cap

the mouse does not suffer, but is sort of
stupefed, as if by chloroform. In the

sively prove it.-Brooklyn Standard

washington's "Finest, {"

Here and there in the halls and cor
ridors of the capitol the sturdy guard
ians of the public peace, clad in immac-
ulate uniforms sit, silent and Indifferent,
ruminating, to judge from the slow and
regular action of their jaws, upon the
destinies of the nation, though caring
for none of these things. Fine speci-
mems most of them are, too-broad
shouldered, healthy skinned, fair, quiet
men, whose solid nerves nothing could
surprise, whose firm but gentle masti-
cation no political convulsion could re-
tard. They are of very different type
from the burly New York policeman.
One can hardly believe that they are
really colleagues of the colored func-
tionary in similar blue cloth and brass
buttons, who stands in all his glory at
the corner of Pennsylvania avenue, mon
arch of all he surveys, whose slightest
gesture could stop even cable car and
whose lofty stature and speckless clothes
call forth the admiration of the colored
nursery maid and can impose good be-
havior even upon fair haired little boys
and make the soggy faced, blue eyed
"toughs" look little less as though
they had bought the pavement for their
own convenience and would refuse to
let it even at high rice.-Marion

MODERN SURGERY.
The Large Part That Absolute Cleanliness
Plays In It's Operations.

The Large Part That Absolute Clesnliness
Plays In It's Operations.
There are three locations, so to speak,
the absolute cleanliness of which must
be above suspicion before the operator is
justified in proceeding to his work.
These are the surgeons hands, his in
struments and the integument covering
the part of the patients body at which
the operation is about to be performed.
How is the requisite cleanliness in each
case secured? So far as the hands are
concerned, by profuse scrubbing with a
nailbrush in soap and hot water, fol-
lowed by thorough drenching in some
antiseptic solution, as that Of l in 2, 900
of perchloride of mercury. So far as
the instruments are concerned, by ster-
ilizing them-that is, by boiling them
in water, or by passing them through
the fame Of a spirit lamp, or placing
them in q steam sterilizer, and then,
when the operator is ready to begin, by
putting them into receptacle contain
ing an antiseptic solution-as, for exam
pie, that of carbolic acid. Lastly, so
far as the patients integument is con-
cerned, by washing the part first thor
oughly with soap and water, having
previously shaved it, if necessary, and
afterward with O perchloride of mercu-
ry solution, or, if the part be greasy,
by removing all the greasy material by
scrubbing it with ether.
Without going into further details
these are the cardinal precepts Of the
science of operating in the present day.
Of course each wound which in this
manner is made under aseptic condi-
tions, as it is called, is kept aseptic by
the use Of antiseptic dressings until
healing has taken place. The results Of
this method of treatment Of wounds are
nothing less than wonderful in compar-
ison with those which the earlier sur
geons were able to obtain. What hap
pens after, say, the amputation Of. a
limb nowadays? The rule is, nothing
nothing, that is to say, beyond the un-
eventful convalescence of the patient
The dressings are not touched unless
the temperature and the pulse of the pa.
tient indicate, by some disturbance, that
it would be expedient to examine the
wound. The temperature and the pulse
are the surgeons guide. He takes his
cue from them. Nothing can be amiss
in the wound if these remain normal,
and thus it follows that large wound,
such as that following an amputation,
heals soundly from first to last without
any suppuration. What a contrast with
that which obtained in former days!
Suppuration was then thought to be an
Indispensable part of the healthy proc
ess of healing. In the present time, on
the contrary, surgeon is held to have
failed in his practice Of the principles Of
surgical cleanliness if, in wounds orig
inally aseptic, suppuration occurs -

HER LITTLE FLOWER.
And She Sank 60 Rest clutohing the Tiny
Treasure 20 Her Breast.


And She Sank TO Rest CIutehinG the Tiny
Treasure TO Her Breast.
She found the tiny, tender plant
when first it showed its trembling head
above the travel worn slabs of granite
that paved the narrow alleyway which
was her only playground. She gave q
cry Of delight when she saw the deli
cate shoot peeping out from between
the cold gray stones, ard from that mo
ment it filed a part Of her life that
heretofore had been empty. She nour-
ished it with water and jealously guard
ed it from the onslaught of roaming
boys and the too near approach of cart
wheels that came crunching through
the alley, and often did her violet eyes
tremble with suppressed tears as she
saw the ponderous wheels rolling so
close to her treasure.
Under her care and watchful atten-
tion it steadily grew, and when delicate
leaves unfolded themselves and disclos-
ed to her delighted eyes a blossom Of
sweetness her happiness was complete,
and she sank beside it and feasted her
vision on loveliness she had never seen
before.
One day she did not come at her
usual hour to moisten the thirsty plant,
and it would doubtless have perished
but for q gentle shower that came to
kiss the dropping head The next day
she did not come, and the lonely plant
got its only help from the leaking of a
passing water cart. Far up in one of the
narrow rooms she lay on little cot
painting for breath. Her once rosy
cheeks were now pale and white, and
the soft blue eyes shone with spar
king glow. Her head tossed restlessly
from side to side, and means of pain
crept from the drawn lips.
Occasional words broke from her, but
of such an incoherent nature that none
understood her until boy came softly
into the room and gazed at the suffering
face curiously. "She wants her flower" !"
he said as she moaned again, and like a
fash he sped from the room, 10 return
in few moments bearing an almost
withered plant in his hand AS he held
it aloft the lustrous eyes saw it, and two
tiny wasted hands arose from the cover
and were outstretched to receive her
treasure. She lifted it TO her lips and
rained kisses on the dust covered bios
som, which seemed to answer her caress
in CLEAN of returning freshness.
She sank to sleep, still clutching the
flower to her bosom, and awoke later
with a calm look of oontentment cover
ing her features.
AS the hours wore on she grew weak
er and weaker until, when the shafts of
mornings golden light first found their
way into the quiet room, they fell
aslant the cold, still form of little
girl, at whose cheek nestled faded and
withered flower, mingling itself in the
faint smile that fingered yet around the
perfect mouth. Atlanta Constitution.

Sir Richard owen and the Fakir.

A novel story Of the late Sir Richard
Owen is going the rounds. A snake
charmer at Cairo, reckoning without
his host, appeared before Sir Richard to
go through q deadly performance with
cerastes-the horned wasp. The reptile
was placed on the ground. Owen looked
at it moment, then stepped forward
and picked it up. Before the luokless
performer could interpose the savant
plucked from its head Its projecting
horns, which on closer inspection prov
ed to be fishbones The fakir was some-
what disconnected at the rapid unveil-
ing Of an actually harmless animal, and
the entertainment was withdrawn. -

PUCK'S CARTOON
The American Farmer.

The whole tariff question so far as
it affects the farmer is graphically
summarized in Puck of August Is.
The cartoon is entitled "The Ameri-
can Farmer-Where he has to sell,
and where he has to buy"
On one side of the picture the farm.
eris offering his products, corn, wheat,
pork, beef, etc.-in the tree trade
markets of Europe. He has to COM
pete there with Russian, Australian
and South American farmers. 1t is
the open competition of this market
which determines not only the prices
which he obtains for imported pro-,
ducts, but also the prices Of the great
er part of the same products sold at
home. He compets with the cheap
est farm labor in the world. He has
no special privileges. His share of
the protection in the Mckinley bill
was bogus.
On the other side Of the picture the
farmer is making purchases of cloth
ing, implements, furniture etc. He
is not in the free and open markets Of
the world where all manufacturers
are competing with each other for his
patronage. He is restricted to Nc
Kinley's "Home Market" and high
prices. Everything is "marked up"
according to the tariff duty placed
upon it and to the 6rmness of the
trust which regulates production and
prices of this particular product. Nc
Kinley put no sawdust in the protec-
tion which he gave to the trusts and
manufacturers. They do not hesitate
to charge the poor and deluded farmer
SO per cent. more than he would have
to pay for his goods IN the same mar
ket in which, he sells his products
His money goes only two-thirds as
far with "protection" as it would
and will without 1t.
This is all there is to the tariff
question for the farmer. He has been
fooled and buncoed in voting for this
gigantic fraud, but he is getting his
eyes open and unless Lincoln was
mistaken when he said "You can't
fool all the people all of the time" )"
there will be some surprise for Nc
Kinley in the returns from next No.
vember's elections in the country dis
trlcts of the West and North.

THE TERRIER AND THE LIONS.
sIss Did Nos Count as Regarded Ownership

sIss Did Not Count as Regarded Ownership
of the Cage.
Kindness is powerful with animals,
but / have often been led to think that
where kindness fails impudenoe oon-
quers. In Lincoln park, Chicago saw
a lady put her hand on the heads Of
three lions in succession and stroke
their ears as if they were kittens They
growled when she pretended to leave,
and when she returned they fought
among themselves for the first chance
of being petted again. But this lady
had nursed these lions, and they seemed
to know her as child knows its mother.
There was q little Scotch terrier in
the cage with the same lions He did
nothing but bark and snarl and snap at
them. One good swish of any one Of
the three tails would have wiped him
out of existence. But he Just ordered
the big animals around as if he were
the lion and they the rat oatchers. They
obeyed, although with the long deep
rumblings as of muffled thunder.
He was not pretty dog, nor was his
voice calculated to make him many
friends He was in no danger Of being
worried by encores. don't know that
he had any moral qualities worth brag-
ging about. But he was Scotch. He had
the reputation of being a terror as well
as a terrier, and he had a broken leg.
Perhaps as an invalid he appealed to
the sympathies of his big companions.
This, however, would not account for
his insolent airs of superiority.
He took the best Of the food He got
the first and the last shake hands from
the lady. His barefaced impudence was
more powerful than all the kindness and
attention of the gentle nurse And he
gave nothing for his living except his
bark. For the struggle of life he had no
equipment but impudence, and yet he
kept three lions in what must have been
literally condition of CALLING servi-
tude. There is room somewhere here
for moral. But Esop is dead And
when he lived he tackled morals only to
fables, where indeed they seem to be-
long. -Donahoe's Magazine.

I have to look back on, said Adam

when it was being taken down to be
carried to New York. Our vessel was
out in the Mediterranean with a rowing

''But that was one of the prettiest
pieces of engineering work I have ever

our shaft had couple Of big wooden
cases built that fitted around the needle
like the pieces of wood around the lead
in pencil. There were couple Of pro-
jectiles ON each side of the castings just
on the center of gravity in the shaft,
like the trunnions on cannon. Under
these they put lifting jacks and just
picked that immense stone off its
pedestal, swung it around horizontal
and then lowered it as gently as could
be on long sliding way, with cannon
balls under it for rollers. They had a
square hole cut in the stern Of the
steamship and slid it into the hull
through that and replaced the sheathing
outside.
