AT TER THREE YEARS
American Physicians and Surgeons
to Meet Here Tomorrow.
4 LARGE ATTENDANCE EXPECTED
The individual Societies and
Branches They Represent.
WORK OF THE CON RES s

The third triennial meeting of the con-
geons will be opened in this city at Metze-
afternoon. 1t will be the second meeting
Of the congress in this city, the first one
having been held here in September. 1891.
At that meeting of the congress some five
or six hundred members were In attendance.
and 1t is the impression Of DR.. S. S. Adams
Of this city. chairman of the committee on
arrangements, that the meeting this time
will bring together the largest number
In the history Of the congress.
The congress Is composed of fourteen DIFF
ferent societies, the American Ophthalmo-
logical Society, the American Geological
Society, the Association of American Ply
sicians, the American Orthopedic Associa-
ton, the American Physiological Society.
the American Pediatrtc Society, the Amert-
can Surgical Association. the Association
of American ANTAGONISTS. the American
Chronological Association, the American
matological Association, the American
Association of Genito-Urinary Surgeons,
the American genealogical Society. the
American Laryngologtcal Association ana
the American Neurological Association.
These societies meet annually as individual
societies and every three years they meet
together as the Congress Of American Ply
sicians and Surgeons But they never lose
their individuality, for even at the time Of
the triennial congress the societies hold
entirely separate meetings on the days OF
the congress. These separate meetings,
however, do not interfere or conflict with
the meetings Of the congress-. being so ar
ranged as to time as to allow members to
attend the meetings of the congress and
their own particular organizations. At
every meeting of the congress seven of the
societies occupy the attention Of the con-
gress, every one of the seven having as
signed to 1t one of the general sessions.
At this meeting Of the congress the last
seven of the societies named above will
claim the attention Of the meeting.
The congress will be in session four days,
tomorrow. Wednesday. Thursday and FRI
day. and the different societies composing
1t will for the most part also be In session
on those days. The congress will be formal
ly opened by DR.. Landon Carter Gray of
New York city, the chairman Of the execu-
tive committee. at o'clock tomorrow after
noon. and from $50 to 5 general session.
under the direction of the Association of

the subject for discussion will be "Morphol-
ogy as a Factor In the Study Of Disease"

, THE OLD VALENTINE.

A souvenir of the bygone years,
Breathing old odors faint as musk
Which roses spill in dew and dusk;
Its blazoned pages dulled by tears;
Its faded Cupid dropping low.
With broken wing and rusty bow;
A leaf of life turned old and scar,
Yet still she holds it sweet and dear,
For love embalms each simple line
OF that old, faded valentine.
She pores upon the cherished page
A lily past her morning glow,
But fair as in the long ago.
To such as she what matters age,
Whose love is ageless, and whose truth
Makes in her soul eternal youth?
Still unforgotten kisses thrill
With rapture her swift pulses; still
She cries: "How bright this world would be
Could you, o Love, come back to me,
AS once my own and only mine,
NV bonny knight and valentine!
ssThe fault was mine-oh, hapless fate!-
To learn our needs and blame too late,
When prayers and tears cannot atone
For wrong and sorrow dealt our own"
But, 10, a tread of eager feet
Presages something strange and sweet
He comes, forgiven, to forgivet
Sweetheart, to love that is to live.
And love like ours can never de-"
Nor need to voice her hearts reply!
More eloquent the dumb, dear sign
OF that long treasured valentine.

An Acrobatic Shine.

The man was tall and lank, with keen
blue eyes, looking over nose like a par
rots beak. A shaggy growth Of uneven
whiskers sprouted in patches from his
face, and he wore long drab ulster,
which partly covered huge pair of mud
covered topboots, into which were stuffed
the ends of varicolored pair Of overalls.
With badly worn carpet gripsick in
his hand he leaned against the wire fence
beside the registers Office and called a
bootblack.
Two Italians responded. and each
claimed the customer. After volley of
Mulberry street explosives each grabbed
a foot and set to work. The man eyed
them closely and clutched his grip lit
tie tighter. In moment the bootblacks
renewed their dispute, and in their anger
yanked the mans feet in the air. For a
moment he poised, balanced on the wire,
and then with whoop fell backward
upon the withered grass plot. A crowd
collected, and the Italians scampered off.
Their victim, with one boot shined and
the other muddy, picked himself up
slowly.
"Gosh," he muttered, f'maybe them
ERE fellers knowed / kept bills in my
boots, OF else they were burned hard up
fer work."
He assembled the steps to the bridge
and was soon swallowed in the crowd

Fast Co1ors.

A useful point is made by writer in
The Economist in regard to the term
ssfast colors," as applied to printed and
woven cottons. The rule is laid down
that the more delicate in shade dye is
the more difficult it is to fix it in the cot
ton fiber, but even the crudest colors will
fade if goods are imperfectly treated in
the laundry. Any of the goods, in fact,
that are sold as fast colors, whether OF
domestic or foreign manufacture, are
practically fast, but when subjected to
the powerful chemicals of which many OF
the washing soaps are composed, or when
hung out for hours on a clothesline and
exposed to the bleaching influences OF
sun and air, the colors must necessarily
fade to a greater or less extent 1t is
well known that the chemicals con
tanned in washing soaps and similar
compounds are in many cases as power
full as those employed in the process OF
bleaching muslins. In not a few in
stances, too, they are probably of g
greater degree of strength, the result
being that they weaken the cloth to al
extent that the bleacher would not be
disposed to risk.

Praxaution of Potato soab.

The best method Of treatment known
for the destruction Of the germs of the
fungus of the potato scab seems to be
the corrosive sublimate treatment en-
ployed by Bolley and others. 1t must
be borne in mind that corrosive subli-
mate is powerful poison if taken inter-
nally, and none Of the solution should
DO poured out near wells or where fowls.
stock, etc., can obtain any Of it, nor
should the vessels be used accidentally
for any other purpose. The solution of
the strength employed will do no harm
externally on the hands, but great care
should be used not to get any of it into
the mouth.
Treatment Corrosive sublimate can
be bought at drug stores in the form of
crystals. Two and one-fourth ounces of
these crystals should be dissolved in a
few gallons of hot water and enough
cold water added to make Is gallons of
the solution; the whole should then be
well stirred. In preparing the solutions
and treating the seed use wooden vessels
only. Two barrels, with wooden fau-
Gets, are convenient, the solution being
drawn from one to the other whenever
it is desired to remove the potatoes. The
potatoes may also be pu5 into a sack and
dipped into the solution. The same solu-
ton may be used repeatedly. The whole
tubers, after first being washed, should
be placed in the solution for II hours,
then spread out to dry and cut and
planted as usual
