Distinction After Scarlet Fever,

Experiments by DR.. William Gibson OF
Campbctown, Scotland, in disinlectng
scarlet fever patients so as to free them
from contagion before the process of des-
quamation is completed have resulted sue
cessfully His method was to give sue
cession Of three or four comfortably warm
baths, sometimes daily, at other times on
alternate days, using freely carbolic acid
soap, and washing the patient thoroughly
from top to toe After each bath, except
the last the patient was put back to the
bed on which he had lain with the disease.
After the last bath he was taken into q
clean room, dressed with clothes free from
infection, and then allowed to mingle with
the rest of the family. In most cases the
body was anointed daily with olive oil
mixed with some disinfectant. Patients
with such complications as otitis or ulcer
ated or suppurating throat were not sub
jectcd to the process. No complications
followed the cleansing process in any case
but convalescence seemed to be rather has
tened than retarded Philadelphia Ledg-

Domestic.

RICHARD OLNEY, the present attorney
general, succeeds the late Walter @.
Gresham as secretary of state.
Miss MARY IRENE HoYT Of New York has
sued Hattie Green for SANDER, with damages
placed at $780, 600. Both these women are
many times millionaires, and lively time is
anticipated if the suit ever comes to trial.
SPANS reply to the demand of the late
Secretary Gresham regarding the " AL.
lianca " affair is long and exhaustive, but,
on the whole, entirely satisfactory. That
country, after a full investigation, dis
avows the act Of the commander of the
"Conde Venadito " in firing on the al
lianca " off Cape Maysi, Cuba expresses re-
greet at the occurrence, and assures this gov
eminent that measures have been taken to
prevent repetition of the matter AS
Spain has complied specifically with Secre
tary Gresham's demands, the incident is
considered closed.
THE damage done by the floods in the vi.
cinity of Curtis, Neb., Is much greater than
was at first supposed, and will not fall short
OF $4,000 Most of the damage is to crops
where the fields were flooded. Farm prod
ucts Of every description were engulfed, and
in many instances, where the homes of the
farmers were in the immediate vicinity of
the valley, the disaster was almost ruinous.
Small buildings were washed away or I'M
dermined in such a manner as to be rem
dered worthless, and in some sections the
water rose 80 rapidly as to seriously menace
the lives of whole families.

Confederate Veterans, .

The last shot of the civil war was
fred on May 10, 1865, in Texas.
Thirty years have elapsed since that
time, and yet it is fact that nearly
thirty-fve per cent of the staff tflicers
of the COME derate army are still living,
many of them in the enjoyment of per-
feet health at ripe cd age. That
there should be so many survivors is
not at all strange, for the fact is well
known that in the closing and desper-
ate days of the war very young men
in fact, boys-were enlisted. With the
staff officers, and more espe tally with
those of the rank of general, the case
was different, for at the close of the
war majority of these men were at
least forty years of age, and many were
considerably older. Yet there are now
living seven acknowledgement of the
Confederate service, twenty-seven ma
jor-generals and one hundred eighteen
brigadierg generals. Four of the major
generals, by the way, are members of
the present United States senate. There
are in various parts of the South four
hundred thousand surviving Confeder-
ate veterans of all National
Tribune.

A German Home Custom.

Small girls, and boys, too for boys have
sweet tooth as well as their sisters, often
ask their mammas on their return from
some festivity if they brought them some
of the goodies that were had at the feast.
Most mothers feel Obliged to reprove these
eager questioners, reminding them that it
is not well bred to be too interested in
what they eat and that it would be very
rude to larry anything away from a
friend house alta being generously lunch
ed or dined while there. But the reproof
doesn't taste nearly so good as the cake
would and that is why some of you will
wish German custom was in vogue here.
In that country, where children are much
thought about, at ladies luncheons there
is pretty little box set beside each place,
and as the luncheon goes on little tidbits
and dainties from the mothers servings
are dropped into the box--now a sweet
meat then some sailed almonds, "A maca
room, crisp, tender meringue, and so on
till when the meal Is over there Is goodly
parcel Of dainties to be carried home for
the babies. The mothers are as glad as the

RepOse OF Manner.

Our great -grandmothers taught their
daughters that "rcposc of manner was
the first requisite of true propriety. No
well bred lady would fdgct in company,
put her hands to her face, toss her head or
finger her buttons. If she talked, she aid
it in soft voice and without gesticula-
ton, no matter how many rings she wore
nor how pretty her hands might be. She
was taught even to control her features ;
that squirting and winking the eyes and
twitching the mouth were not "pice, " and
that they could and should he intcrmittcd
in polite society In sitting neither the
knees nor the feet were to be crossed, rock
ing was odiously vulgar, yawning and
stretching We're unsrcakable Otfenscs, and,
above all, the hands must he crossed or
folded in the lap and kept there
We plead for at least Il partial resump
ton of the old forms Let mothers once
more teach their girls to sit still in com.
pany, to cultivate calmness. Let our wom-
an learn to carry on earnest conversation in
sublued tones and without gcsticulation.
We used to be told that lying in bed with
hands folded and eyes shut was half as
good as sleep when sleep was impossible
1t is quite credible that ilouncing and toss
ing about largely increase the loss Of
strength from slecplcssness, us we know
that the sleep which is accompanied with
much tossing and turning is not as re-
freshing as that which is taken quietly.
just SO if u reposeful manner is acquired
early in life an enormous expense of merry

ing amount of power may be saved.-Out-

The 0uartermaster busted.

An amusing incident of the Smelling
of Chattanooga may be related here.
The Federals repeated their shelling
quite frequently, much to the annoy
ance of the quartermaster, who was
very comfortably lodged in the town
and disliked to betake himself to the
inconvenience of tent. He was graft
fed at first that the shells were thrown
into diffc lent part of the town from
that where he was located. 1t was not
long, however, before they began fall
ing in his neighborhood. Still he re-
NAMED, loath to be disturbed and hop
ing that the firing would cease. He
was seated one day writing at a tai BILE,
when a shell penetrated the roof and
wall of the building and exploded as it
struck the inkstand which he was using,
scattering the ink over him, but other
wise doing him no harm. This was too
much for him, and without waiting foe
any further suggestion he stood not
upon the order of his going, but went
at once. In the words of Moth

occurrence, "That ar quartermaster he

Southern Women.

1t is about time that the lingering senti-
ment in the south against women work
ing for themselves should lose its force. 1t
is a relic Of the cold SOUTH which, how
ever chivaric in its origin, cannot stand
against the practical conditions of life
which confront the women of the present.
The last Ii years have done much to dispcl
the old southern ideal of women, along
with other old dreams which are beautiful
in life if life were not such "A practical
thing The southern women cannot live
upon mems dreams Every day they are
depending less upon possible husbands,
stepping down from the pedestal upon
which the cavaliers have placed them,
and setting about earning for themselves

Heat and Hair.

A girl who, since IL severe course of fever
two years ago, has had thin and obsti-
nately short head of hair, lately went to
barber for treatment of her scalp. He
advised curling tie refractory locks with a
hot iron. "Why, l thought everybody
agreed that that was the worst thing in
the world for the hair' she exclaimed.
at has not proved SO in my experience, ~
was the reply, "nor do l know why it
should be SO. We all see that there is no
better method for starting the growth OF
the hair than smuggling the ends Why
should not this same treatment be good
when it serves the double end of also curl
ing the strandsy" Not at all convinced,
the girl yet made up her mind to try his
plan. To her surprise she has found that
her hair has at last "taken start" and
is beginning to grow at a perceptible rate
already. baltimore Sun.

Arrangement of Furniture.

Articles on the arrangement of a room
often say, "Notice how the chairs are
grouped together after II company has left
place and try to give them the same easy
attitude afterward." a truly remarkable
semicircle of furniture would be the usual
result of following this rule, but undoubt-
eddy one should try to so set chairs and di-
vans that little groups for cozy converse
ton may draw together. 1t is paralyzing
to chat to have heavy seats placed so far
apart that they may not be dragged to-
gether. If you mark the drawing rooms
where you enjoy your visits, you will in
yariably find that they are those in which
you and your hostess or some other have
been seated near enough to hold that con
fidential, unconventional talk which is not
possible above certain key, which again
implies easy chairs and not too far away
from each other-New York Recorder.

DO Beauties Make Good Wives !

The vcxed question whether beauties
make good wives deserves word Of no.
tice. While great personal attractions do
not, as arulc, tend to stimulate the purely
domestic side Of the character, there are so
many instances of pretty women becoming
models of wife perfection that it would
be obviously unjust to insist upon too
close connection between good looks and
bad household management. Still, girl
