FOR SEASICkNESS.
A Position Of the Body which. II f.
Snid, Will Prevent the Tronble.

Here is something new and Strange in the
way of a cure for seasickness. Its discov-
erer explains the physiological principles
on which il is based.
He is an Irishman. Thomas Moy by name.
Some years ago, when crossing the Irish
channel board passenger steamer.
with very rough sea- IL occurred to him
that as the motions of the vessel produced
seasickness, il might be possible TO prevent
that disagreeabe malady. The vessel has
three kinds of molten: a rising and falling
motion longitudinally about its center Of
gravity: and a transverse rolling motion.
Mr. Moy treated The longitudinal motions
as having a tendency to drive matter, ccn-
trifugally, toward the head and stern, and
the rolling motions as having n similar
tendency to drive matter outward from the
center of such motions.
Now for details. THE entrance 10 tho
stomach" says Mr.. Moy. lis on the left
side of the body, the oesophagus end and
the exit is on the right side, the pyloric
orifice; and my experiment consisted In
utilizing the longitudinal motions as 10
keep the food i'm the stomach, and utilizing
the rolling motions so as TO assist the
natural operations of the ocSophagus in
propelling the food toward the pyloric orr
flee. This 1 effected 10y selecting a couch
arranged in a line With the Keel, lying with
my head toward the engine room. and ly. ng
upon my left side" The experiment, Mr..
Moy adds, was entirely successful. and he
has always adopted it in rough seas. when
a suitable berth could be obtained. 1t
would be interesting to know whether any
one else has tried the remedy, and, II so,
with what result.

The draped skirt
Yes, We are to have the draped skirts.
There's no lodging that conclusion. They
will be worn only for rather ceremonious
purposes, the plain skirt seeking reserva-
ton for purposes of active exercise. 1
don't look to see flounces on bicycle skirt,
surely. Not yet. But I have heard from
New York of the arrival of gown bowed
ocross with fifteen rows of narrow lace,
not wide f1ounces, each meeting the other,
but narrower ones. perhaps an inch wide
and three inches apart. And in Paris there
is free use made Of wide-f1ounced skirts
worn with matching capes and Of embroid-
cry in long panels, and of Vandykes heavily
marked with embroidery and of single
bands Of lace fiouncing. And all these
things are held in especial regard for fete
gowns and lawn parties.
Extraordinary Is the popularity of the
wide belt. 1t is more apt to be defiant
With embroidery and ablaze with steel or
jet or paste. The underlying principle of
the corselet Is that 1t calls attention to a
fine figure. and now that tight lacing is
10 longer the mode there are fine figures
in plenty to exhibit.
The spotted-muslin-over-silk combination
Is most popular. The colors are pale pink
and cream, pale blue and white, pale green
and yellow. Such a gown can be made
very simply. with a perfectly plain bodice,
ribbon belt and collar and sleeves snug
fitting well above the elbow and gives a
charming effect Of neat simplicity to which
an examination of the dressmaker's bill
might be fatal
1t has become possible to decorate the
rev tight sleeves with little rows of lace,
bowling them about, to match the trimming
or the skirt. Such refinement of the sleeve
Is really an innovation and not altogether
a pleasant one. 1t must be that only a
lady with very long thin arms could pos
sibiy need such a device.

From Notes and Queries.
The chief meals-dinner and supper-were
taken in the hall, both by the old English
and the Normans, for the parlor did not
come into use until the reign of Elizabeth.
Breakfast did not become a regular meal
until quite lately, and DR.. Murray in the
Oxford dictionary gave 1853 as the date
of the earliest quotation in which the word
occurred. The meal did not become recog-
nized until late in the seventeenth century.

Of the day. and from the accession of

Carving was then a fine art. Each guest
brought his own knife and spoon, for the
small fork was not introduced into Eng
land until Thomas Coryate of Odcombe
published his "Crudities'' in 1911.
Pepys took his spoon and fork with him
to the lord mayors feast in 1868. The
absence of forks led to much stress being
laid upon the act of washing the hands
both before and after meals. and to the
rule that the left hand alone should he

hand being occupied with the knife. The

What Society Leaders at This Gay
Resort Wear.
White is great favorite at Newport.
Many of the dresses are made entirely of
white chiffon or mousseline de sole. Nous
seine sleeves in puffs that just reach the
elbow are seen more often than any other
style.
One young lady wore a white straw hat,
trimmed with long white ostrich feathers
and a pink rose under the brm, with her
white taffeta gown.
An elderly lady who wore black had
small puffs of white silk at the top of her
tight sleeves. and with this gown she wore
a most eccentric round hat of white NOUS
seine, with broad mousseline ties.
A lady in black and white-striped silk
wore black hat, with cockade of white
quill feathers.
Everybody here wears feathers. The
summer hats are being "freshened up
with feathers and wings and whole birds,
just as we freshened up the late winter
hats with flowers last spring before the
Easter bonnets came out.
Blue Is a favorite tint as WELL and is
much used in combination with white
white costume. with Elton jacket, had
pleated blue chiffon front, with French
touch at the back in the shape of fiaring
collar of green ribbon, figured with red
roses.
Purple. though not so popular here as
in London. nevertheless finds a good deal
of favor. and when worn by the right per-
son is exceedingly fetching. A purple gown
was made quite plain, except for some
rich lace at the throat. The hat that went
with 1t was decidedly chic. though simple
1t was made of loops of black velvet rib
bon, set back from the forehead, and some
fine white and black osprey feathers.
Lace trimmings are seen on every kind
of dress. and nowhere more frequently
than at these meetings of the rich, who,
If they haven't any of their own grand
mothers laces, have money enough to
buy from those who have.

Antiseptie Handkerchief.

So much danger exists from contagion in the handling of infected clothing that for some time past an effort has been made to introduce handkerehiefs of pa per md fiber A substance composed of shredded fiber might be put into the form of paper pulp and run out into sheets, which would be soft, pliable. absorbent and inexpensive. Paper hand kerehiefs might be made almost as cheap as toilet paper and would be found a most welcome addition to tAe equipment of invalids. Immediately upon being used they could be burned or otherwise destroyed, thereby avoiding the trans mission of disease germs. Laundresses and others have frequently been inoeu- lated with the bacilli of various mala- dies by contact in the washtub A scratch or any irritated spot on the skin may become lodging place for such organisms For this and other reasons the paper handkerchief is strongly oom- mended. If, in addition to the absorbent and inexpensive qualities, the pulp could be impregnatcd with some inodorous and efficacious antiseptic, the value of this new departure would be largely increas- cd.

College fraternalism recently found another pleasant illustration at Oberlin, 0. When Oberlin, which was the first college to open its doors to women on an equal footing with men, was just start ing in its work, in 1883, Mary Lyon was teacher in Miss Grants school, in Ipswich, Mass. The teachers of this school, with their pupils, immediately sent S450 to Oberlin to help it in it's work Of this sum Mary Lyon herself gave $50. Four years later she founded Mount Holyoke seminary. This fall the women teachers at Oherlin gathered a contribution of $450 for Mount Hol- yoke college and sent it as Thanksgiv- ing recognition by the Oberlin of to- day of the noble work done by Mary Lyon for the higher education of women.

LS TIE WORLD TYING
RETTER2

Is the world growing better?' This oft repeated subject of contro, yersy and disputation is foreibly brought to our minds by the tele- graphic dispatches of yesterday, which bring to us information of one of the most horrible holoeausts and shocking catastrophes of the dying year, and which for man s cunning and yillainy has few equals in the annals of crime. We refer to the wreck early Sunday morning on tha Mineral railroad in Alabama, particulars of which will be found in another column of this issue.
 There has been no railroad hor- TOT during the year so horrible. And it was planned by man, or rather fends in human shape, for the purpose of robbery. According to the dispatches, rail on the mid dle span of . mountain bridge, 1l0 feet high, across the Cahaba river. il mountain stream, in Q thinly pop uated country, was removed for the purpose of wrecking an early passenger train with robbery as the object. When the engineer dis covered the removed rail. he sud denly reversed his engine, which caused such a jar that it caused the bridge to collapse, and the traia of cars was precipitated into a shallow stream no below. Fire followed the wreck, and a dreadful hobo caust ensued which destroyed twenty-one human lives. and from which only nine escaped But the worst of all remains to be told. When men and women were pinioned between falling and burning tim bers, unable to help themselves or secure relief, the merciless iiends who had planned the wreck, robbed tue dead and dying bodies of their personal effects. and then like cow ards and brutes, fled to the woods.
 Was ever more devilish tale told of the deviltry of man? And this in the boasted enlightenment aud civilization of the closing years Of the nineteenth century. And this in our land of religion aud churches. and at time, too, when was being proclaimed peace on earth, good will to all men2"
