Mouth Washes That Destroy Their

GdOr the Breath.
From the Hartford Post.
Talk about the tobacco-scented breath
of men," said a pretty girl. II have suf-
fered more at matinees from sitting next
to a woman who had eaten potato salad or
Spanish omelet or some such dish of which
onions or garlic formed a part than 1 ever
did from the fumes of tobacco in the pres
ence of men. The odor of wine which wo-
men drink at table as often as men do is
more pleasant because it is waited from
between the pretty lips of a woman, who,
perchance, would ttp-tilt her nose at de-
tectiug it in 'horrid man.
There is more truth than poetry in this
criticism, but little care will prevent any
ore from being offensive on account of the
food for LIQUIDS one has taken. A cup of
black coffee will destroy the fumes of the
malodorous onion. The fad of having pep
PERMITS and wirterGfeen cream candies on
the table has method in Its madness, as one
of these will destroy the odor left by wine.
1t would be quite safe to use as a mouth
wash and gargle after each meal a glass
of water in which had been put a few
drops each of camphor and myrrh. A bit
of orriS root might be carried in the mas
culine pocket for use when necessary for
it. as well as stick cinnamon or ginger,
will disguise unpleasant odors. In some
cases. however, the ounce Of prevention
would render the resort to these DISCUSSES
unnecessary. Henry Ward Beecher once

BIAIIITALLISM IN SPAIN.
That Government Will Participate In
the Next Conferences.


Senior Depuy de LONE, the Spanish min
lister, says Spain will take part in the next
international monetary conference, as she
is greatly interested in the solution of the
timetable question. Spain uses both gold
and silver the latter being coined at a fix
ed ratio with gold, and there is also en-
issue of paper currency. Only two of the
Spanish colonies, Porto Rico and the Phil
ippine Islands, use silver almost exclusive
ly. For these reasons SPANS policy Is
Gefiniteiy favorable toward the use of both
the metals. and her interests, particularly
in the colonies, are toward an enlarged use
of silver. The belief is expressed by some
of the best posted representatives of foreign
countries that any international monetary
conference agreement should embody cer-
tain essential features.
To assure its power 1t must secure the
adherence of the United States and of at
least one of the three great money coun-
tries Of Europe-Great Britain, France or
Germany-and the adherence of as many
lesser countries as possible. 1t should also
include that feature of the Latin Union
whereby the amount of silver to be coined
by each member OF the union is definitely
fixed in advance in accordance with Its
needs. The opinion is expressed that these
features would tend to make an interna-
tional agreement very effective and domi-
nant on the monetary conditions OF tho
world

with all its color weakness, at least IS senti-
mental, and appeals to you by the sickly,
colorless figure and poverty-stricken land
scape. His oil paints look like degenerated
water colors, faded and untrue. Such art
is decadence. And yet they speak of Cor
reggie and Paolo Veronese, for comparison:
but as these artists died SO long ago, they
do not mind it.
The impressionists 'Luminsts' and
"Plein Airiest'' try to transfer the sclen-
titic principle Of prisnnatic division OF color
TO their paintings. AS problem of TECH
nique it is undeniably interesting. But this
unrestful Pickering of lights is not pleas
ing; on the contrary, tiresome and painful
to the eyes. There, for instance. is Mo-
BELLS picture, the title painted on the frame
being: For Eighty Cents a Day" At the
extreme border of an extensive rice field
ten female harvesters are clearing weeds
out Of sheaves. They are bending down
low, and the green. Swampy water reflects
dimly their fever-colored features; so much
more prominently you see the indispensable
part of their bodies standing out in plain
air. The painting is socialism and impress
Sionism- Is 1t pleasing or beautiful? That,
dear reader, is very much a question OF
taste. VICTOR G. FISGHET

REPORT OF ALMRHoUsE COMMITTEE.
Aroapolie Act onth 1SoS

Annapolis, Oct S0th, 1895.
To the Foreman and members Of The
Grand jury.
The committee appointed to inspect
the County Almshouse performed that
duty on Saturday.
After very careful examination, it
was the unanimous opinion of the COM
mittee, that no fault could be found with
the management of this institution as
far as the trustees and superintendent
are concerned. The buildings were found
to he in fair order and the surroundings
apparently healthy. The main building,
in which white inmates are accommodate
&c, is an historic structure, commanding
d prominent position on a high bluff on
South River. The occupants seemed to
be contented, and said they were being
cared for as far as circumstances would
permit. In the basement of the main
building, we found an inmate suffering
with fever, which, we were informed,
might develop into typhoid character.
In such an event we respectfully sug-
gest his removal to hospital, where he
could receive the proper and necessary
attention.
Much has been said and written con-
cerning the County Almshouse, and
many suggestions made for the better
ment of the institution from u moral
and sanitary point of view. The frame
building, in which the colOred inmates
are quartered, in our opinion, is untitled
for the purpose for which it is now being
used. To prevent the commingling Of
Ghe sexes, which was apparent to the
committee, we respectfully Recommend
separate appointments for these col0red
people.
The committee further suggests as
proper the transfer TO a more suitable
institution certain inmates, some of
whom are helpless and tit subjects for a
lunatic asylum.
AS indicated above, we have no fault
whatever to find with the management
of the institution or its board of trus-
tees, who are evidently doing their duty
us far as lies in their power; but we feel
we would he derelict in our duty if we
failed to call attention to the great need
of a proper place wherein to provide for
the unfortunate imbecies who largely
predominant at the Almshouse at the
present time.
