THE GOULD MILLIONS.

titled to a life estate in trust in me
sixth Of the residuary estate. with the
remainder to the children. Under n re-
cent decision of the court Of appeals
it is held that these remainderS are not
liable to taxation. whereas formerly
they were. This will greatly reduce
the tax. The II agnitude Of the estate
and its many complications have neces-
STATED the appointment of a lawyer as
appraiser.
One of the great and most important
questions connected with the vast
estate is in reference to the taxable
property. The executors of the viii
have found that the inquiry will be
prolonged to such an extent that they
have decided to deposit with the comp
troller an amount which, in their judg-
ment, will meet the taxes to be paid
upon the personal property, which,
under the law of 1892. is one per cent.
of all the personally in excess of ten
thousand dollars. The executors de-
posted six hundred thousand dollars
with the comptroller, as they did not
believe the personal estate would ex-
coed the sum OF sixty million dollars.
They will have to deposit about three
hundred thousand dollars more to
make up the difference, shown by a
careful inventory of the estate.

FOR SOCIETY WOMEN.

Among women who are devOting
time and study to sociology a new
need has arisen. The wonder is that
Ito one though of it before. Learning
to apply first aid to the injured is of
much practical advantage to young
women who work in college settle
ments, or tenement house chapters of
Kings Daughters, to care for the sick
and show the benefit of hygienic liy-
ing.
AS many of these students are
chosen from the cultured and smart
sets in various cities, this society is
made up from the ranks of the haut
ton. A woman surgeon visits each
clique Of women who meet in some
drawing room twice a week, giving
them lessons in how TO assume charge
of an injured person. B~andaging, set
ting bones, applying plaster, and stop
page of blood constitute the curricu-
lum.
The advantage of such knowledge
is too evident to be detailed. Its ap-
plicatiOn should not be confined to
women who work in the crowded dis
tricts. where an injured person is liza
BILE to die for want of proper treatment
before an ambulance arrives. Wher-
ever life is. there danger exists, and
the present who is given over
to athletics should add this surgical
knowledge to the list Of her other &C
quirements.
1t is an excellent society to form in
any town, whether taken up for rea-
0 of its ~practicability or novelty.
A few churches are forming classes
among their members, and some of the
pupils, who are society bellies, say it
is the most interesting study they have
yet taken up. If society keeps OF in
its healthful program of this season,
with it's cooking, surgical and So
Geologic classes, the latter day girl
will bid fair to outstrip the ome of
all ages.

LINCOLN'S REMUNERATION.
Scenes at the Baltimore Convention on
The Final ROll-CaIl.

That was a business convention, and
when the roll-call began, Maine sim
ply announced its sixteen votes for
coming next, attempted to bring in a
little speech with its vote, but was
summarily choked off with cries of
"NO speeches." and the call proceeded
in an orderly manner. no delegation
v~entuTing to make any other announce
ment than that of it's vote. The o
ventiOn struck a snag when Missouri
VAS reached. and the chairman Of the
united delegations made a brief speech
in which he said that the delegation
was under positive instructions 10 cast
its twenty-five votes for Z. s. Grant:
that ne and his associates would sup
port any nominee Of the convention,
but they must obey orders from home.
This caused a sensation, and growls
Of disapproval arose from all parts Of
the conventions; for it was evident
that this unfortunate complication
might prevent a unanimous vote for
Lincoln. The Missouri delegates, it
should be understood. had been chosen
many weeks before the nomination Of
Lincoln became inevitable. There
never was Il recall of the instruc-
tiOns given at a time when it was APP
parentlf amcrg the possibilities that
another than Lincoln might be the
nominee of the national convention.
When the clerk Of the convention
announced the result Of the roll-call. it
was announced that Abraham Lincoln
had 501 votes and Z. s. Grant p
votes. Tbereupon Mr.. Hume, chair
of the Missouri delegation. i'm
mediarely moved that the nomination
declared unanimous. This was
done. Straightway the long pent-up !
enthusiasm burst forth in a scene Of

~INNIGORATING BATHS.
\ Hot Tubing Followed by a Cold
IIunge Protects the System.

Baths should be largely regulated
by personal experience as 10 what Is
beneficial and what is not. However,
fit is we'll for every ONE to know some
general truths, for instance, that a
cold bath is not cleansing, and that
an unmoditied hot predisposes the
,bather to cold; and again that a tepid
plunge is a hopeful bid for a headache.
What then? What now. Va it is
a recognized and necessary mark of
a lady to take a full bath every day,
though our very wise grandmotherS did
nothing of the kind?
Well, unless you have a PERSONAL
physical id~iOsyncracy :n their favor,
you better drop the tepid bath from
our list. 1t is much used but it is
not useful. Take hot and cod baths
combined, and cold ones alone fire.
Quently. 4 hot bath, as hot lis it
can be borne, IS very luxurious, very
cleansing and very freslu:ng, but no
II should stay in it longer than five
OF eight minutes. Then a quick cold
sponge or spray remOveS all DANCE Of
taking cold. If you think this sounds
severe, ut only shows you don't know.
A cold sponge after a tepid bath is
a terrible shock, but when you are
just out of a very hot bath there is
no shock about i'll, it is delightfully."-
refreshing.
We have been learning the JOY of
hot baths from the Japanese. but be-
fore the Japanese became So Fashion,
able Mrs. Langtry did much to start
actresses on a course of hot baths, for
to them she attributed land attributes
her success in preserving her looks.
Such Il bath as this. with plenty Of
soap and a bath brush, taken every
other day, leaves one free to take a
cold plunge on the day between with
Il good conscience. That is the great
est safeguard against colds and pneu-
mOnia in the world. If the bather lis
very delicate, the plunge can be eX-
changed for q quick cold sponge, but
generally the plunge is the less shock
OF the two. Again, any approach to
the tepid condition makes the bath
very trying. The water should be
really cold; the bath literally a dip,
and nothing more, in the tub; neceS-
sary ''scrubbing' "a be gone through
ON the feet. In this way the glowing
reaction comes so quickly that there
is no Chill whatever.

THE VELVET BLOUSE.

The day is not long past when the
very name of a velvet blouse would
have been sufficient to make us lift
up both hands and voice in protest,
but now that we have learned wis
dom, and also realized the powers Of
clever manipulation, we are the more
prepared to accept whatever the god
dess of fashion sees fit to lay upon our
long-suffering shoulders. Not that we
shall experience anything in the small
est degree resembling pain with these
velvet bloUseS and vests-for the latter
are equally to the fore. 1t goes with
out saying that the backs are plain,
while the fuIiness in front has it's eX-
uberance curbed by judiciously ar
ranged straps and bretelles of silk or
jet passementerie. A favorite method
consists of three irregular bands, fin
ishing in drops, which start from the
neck and terminate just about the
bend of the figure. I saw one recently
arranged after this fashion, in ivy
green silk velvet, the fullness in front
disappearing beneath a narrow green
satin ~waistband, which fastened on
either side with two large cut steel
buttons. two long ends falling down
the skirt.
