CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. .4.-The mill be-

among the sporting people, was miser-
able fiasco. Flint, after being. almost
dragged into the ring, showed the white

his regular clothing from the building.
The mill was to have taken place last
night, and 300 sports took Grand Trunk

Mount Olivet, twenty-five miles from this
city. When time was called there was a
row raised by the st. Louis mans

the fight, and Flint made hurried exit
across lots to shelter two miles from the
scene. Flint's own hackers were ashamed
of him, and he will never be able TO make
another match in Chicago or vicinity.

Royalty and AIustaches.

1t has been remarked that in addition
to her other personal attractions the in
fanta is in possession of what the French
call leger duvet, or, in plain English, the
down upon the upper lip. American
women, more particularly those whose
associations and observations have been
confined to their native land, have come
to look upon the leger duvet as some
thing unfeminine and unattractive. It
is rather a distinctive matter of pride,
however, to the beauties of the Latin
nations, and is taken, moreover, as a
badge Of strength of character and an
indication of self reliance without as
suming the coarser vigor of masculinity.
When Rome was in its ''most high
and palmy state" the women of the re-
fined and cultured set affected not only
the down on the lip, but hirsute growth
on the face. They resorted to artificial
means and smeared ointment over their
cheeks to stimulate the growth of hair.
Cicero says that the practice became so
universal that law was passed against
it. The Greeks also were affected in the
same manner and gave their Cyprian
Venus beard to enhance her good looks.

Cleanliness save. aaf..

With the approach Of hot weather the
question Of clean, healthy surroundings
is one that must command the attention
of every one, and especially in view Of
the fact that reports have been published
that cholera can always be prevented by
keeping things clean. The physician
should be the preacher of cleanliness, for
cleanliness saves more lives than all of
the drugs known to as. This includes
body cleanliness as we'll as that Of sur
roundings. Use water, deodorizers and
disinfectants steadily through the hot
season. There is sanitary condition Of
our bodies as well as our surroundings.
Bad matter is continually exuding from
the pores of the skin, and if this is not
washed off frequently it will become the
breeding place for disease germs. Fatal
germs are in dust dirt and particles that
float in the air. These cling to the body,
and under the warmth of the heat from
the body they multiply.
Many who are filthy get infectious dis
eases, while those who are clean escape.
It is the safest protection that one can
obtain to surround the body with q clean
skin. Our surroundings must also be
clean, sweet and pure. Filth creates in
fectious atmospheric conditions that baf-
fie the wisest sanitarian, and every epi-
demic begins in dirt. Decaying animal and
vegetable matter, imperfectly cleansed
clothing, person or bed, are all breeding
places for diseases that may in time be-
come epidemic. The physician should
work to prevent all of this, and every one
who has the good of his country in mind
should aid him in trying to keep the sur
roundings of the community clean and
sweet in hot weather.-Yankee Blade.

Immigration For NAV.

very considerable reaction in the direc-
ton of increased immigration from the

with the corresponding period of the
previous year. there was falling off Of
10000 and upward, and for the IL
months a falling off of 10000. But for
the month of May, as compared with
the corresponding month Of 1892, there
was gain of 3,143. The details of the
showing are interesting. The largest
gain over last year was in Italian immi-
grafton, 1852. The largest loss was in
German immigration, 6,199. There was
a falling off in the immigration from
Great Britain of nearly 2,000. and gain
in Austrian Hungarian Of 1900. There
were considerable gains from the Neither

much to the merriment of the occasion.
It is of course bound in white vellum,
with the monogram Of the bride and
groom and the date in silver. There is
space for the certificate made out by the
officiating clergyman, which is to be
signed by each and every guest. It may
be placed in charge of one of the ushers
and should rest on cushion Of white on
table large enough to hold massive
silver inkstand and penrack. One Of the
prettiest spectacular effects of the affair
is the sight of the bride signing her new
name for the first time.
The book also contains spaces for the
photographs of the entire bridal party
as well as for bits of the gowns worn.
