Of rustic work for q center piece for

A French Trou..eau Fnd.

A matinee, or, rather, several matt
nees, are the first purchase a French
woman makes when she orders her
trousseau. Plain colored India silks in
the very pale colors, made with long
jacket and skirt, and trimmed with
yards and yards Of lace, are always
in fashion and exceedingly pretty. The
skirts for the matinees are made mar
rover than the regular skirts, but they
are always trimmed with founces
edged with lace, which founces are put
on halfway up the skirt. reaching to
Just below where the jacket ends. The
Jacket is made to fit quite loosely in
front; in the back it must be tighter,
and is trimmed with bots OF lace
down the front, and ruffle edged with
lace around the bottom. The sleeves
are Of medium size, and finished at the
wrists with ruff1es of lace.
Such quantity of lace as is needed
to trim a matinee seems somewhat
overwhelming when expense has to
be considered, but there are a great
many pretty, effective and quite fine
laces to be bought now from 10 to 20
cents a yard. Silk Innings make q
matinee a most luxurious garment, but

Experience with Antitoxine.

After an experience of two years in
the use of antitoxine, DR. John H. Nc
Collum, city physician of Boston and
resident physician at the Boston city
hospital, gives many statistics to show
the value of the agent in the treat
ment of diphtheria. CAS- rule" says
Or. McCollom, patients are not sent
to a hospital unless they are seriously
Ill, and for this reason statistics based
ON hospital cases give a much better
idea OF the benefit of any prescribed
method of treatment than can be OBJ
tanned from cases in private practice"
In Boston, from 1878 to 1894, the av-
erage death rate in diphtheria cases
was 3O.7. AS this comprises 24,S13
cases, the average fatality of the dis
ease can readily be seen. In the Bos-
ton city hospital, from Sept. 1, 1895, to
May l, 1896, when every case was
treated with antitoxine, there were
l,3o9 cases of diphtheria treated, with
ITO deaths, giving a percentage of
1880. The Importance of the early adj
ministration of antitoxine is shown by
the statistics of the hospital. OF the
1859 cases admitted, SO died within
tWenty-four hours of admission, and of
these quite large number died with
IN two or three hours. DR.. McCollom
says that in no instance has any Sc
rious effect followed the use of anti
toXine in the hospital In few in
stances abcesses have appeared at the
point of injection, but it is believed
that the injection of antitoxine was
only an exciting cause of a predis-
posing condition Of the system. Sc
we're joint pains have been noticed in
five instances, lasting from twenty
four to forty-eight hours, but in no in
stance have they been an element of
danger.-New York Post.

n BOY !. upea,ence.

Much Is said In these days about the
want of obedience to parental author
,ity displayed by the rising generations,
but an incident in which the contrary
spirit was manifested is narrated by q
prominent Western lawyer.
His twelve-year-Old son, boy OF
great spirit, but with no overabund-s
ance of strength, went to pass yaca-
ton with cousin who lived on the
banks Of a broad river. His father, in
his parting instructions, placed one re-
striction upon the boys amusement
during his visit.
Il don't want you to go out in your
Cousins canoe" he said firmly. '"They
are used to the water, but you are not,
and you haven't learned to sit still any
where as yet. You'll be there only q
week, and with all the other amuse-
ments the boys have and the horses
and dogs, you can afford to let the ca
noe alone for this time and keep your
mother from worrying all the while
you're away" a
The boy readily gave the desired
promise. On his return he was enthu-
siastic over the pleasures he had en-
joyed.
"And didn't mind canoeing a bit,
pa he said, addressing his careful
parent with beaming smile. 1.-The
boys taught me how to swim, and the
only time they used the canoe was the
last day, to so ever to the other shore.
But remembered my promise, and I
wasn't going to break it the last dag.
So swan across."-Chicago News.

THOUGHT HURTS THE TEETH.

Brain Workers Have More Trouble
With MOlars Than Do Laborers
A prominent New York dentist made
the statement the other day, which he
said was backed by the highest scien-
tlnc authority, that intellectual pur-
suits play havoc with the teeth, and
that the more q man tolls with his
brain the more likely are his teeth to
| disappear or become diseased before he
reaches middle life.
The reason why. people in this
country have poorer teeth than those
OF any other country in the world is
because they live at the highest possi-
Die pitch of nervous pressure. Savage
races generally have teeth superior to
those Of civilized races.
Ihere are many unusual occupations
too, that have bad effect on teeth.
Quicksilver miners, bleachers who use
chloride of lime, people employed in
| soda factories, are some of those who
suffer. But the most harmful trade Of
all, not only in its effect upon the gen.
eral health, but also upon the teeth, is
that of making matches. The phos-
phorus used in their manufacture af-
fects in some way the health of the
ll,
Artificial teeth are made of all sorts
OF strange substances nowadays, but
probably the most curious Of all mate
rails used for this purpose is COM
pressed paper. A dentist in Germany
has been making them in this way for
many years past. False teeth were
never so cheap as they are to-day, and
at the same time never so dear. They
can be purchased as low as So per set,
OF they may cost as high as $1,000.
There are expensive dentists, as well
as expensive doctors, and it is not an
uncommon thing for $500 to be paid
for new outfit of molars.
When 1t comes to expensive teeth
or, rather, an expensive tooth-proba-
bly, the costliest and most highly priced
in the world is that Of the sacred
monkey. 1t is in one Of the temples of
Siam, preserved in gold box. The
value the natives put upon it may be
judged by the fact that they paid
$3,750,O0O to Portugal for it's ransom
when the fortunes Of war placed it in
the possession Of that nation. The
Cingalese also yenerate as sacred q
monkeys molar, while the people of
Malabar worship one of the elephants
grinders. In the Tonga Islands a
tooth from a sharks jaw is regarded
with great reverence, and in India the
faithful adore tooth that is said to
have been once in active service in the
mouth of Buddha himself.
The first dentist. in fact, must have
lived long before Buddha. At any rate
there were dentists in plenty in Egypt
and Greece 500 years B. c., who used
gold filling teeth and golden wire for
fixing artificial ones. Gold has ever been
been discovered in the teeth of num-
mics known to be many thousands of
years old.-New York Times

= NEW LILY.

It Seems to No . Cross Between the
Common. GardsA Lily and Jimson
Weed. n ,.i FL
From two big black seeds planted
two months ago In the garden Of Mr..
e. .. Duval have sprung plants which
are blossoming into curious flowers
that puzzle those familiar with horti-
culture.
The flower win probably be named
the, 'Duval Lily" as 1t is new one in
Maryland.
Mr.. DuVars garden is in the rear Of
his home, "Whitmore heights" on
Second street, Walbrook, across the
way from the handsome residence Of
Mr.. Julian Leroy White. 1t has be-
come curiosity shop Of flowers from
the use Of seeds and cuttings which are
sent to Mr.. DuVal by horticulturists
all over the county, in order that he
may try them in Maryland soil.
When the two black seeds arrived In
May from New York seed house, Mr..
DuVal had them planted in choice
place in his garden. He became inter-
ested in the two shoots which soon
sprang up from the seeds. The tender
stalks were tightly curled in knob,
like that on a growing Lima bean
stalk, until the stems were nearly q
foot high. Then the curl Strengthened,
and @ bushy plant developed, from
which soon rose flower stalk.
Another thing which aroused Mr..
DuVal's curiosity about the new plants
was the information he received with
the seeds that they came from cross
of a jimson weed with the common
white lily, which abounds in old-fash-
,, Toned gardens and about all country
places. The jimson weed, or James
town weed, as it is more properly
known, receives it's name from James
town, Va, where it was first known in
refuse heaps. 1t is of Asiatic origin, is
a variety of stramonium and has a dis
this country from it's growth about
agreeable odor from the leaves. Its
flower is 4 deep purple in color.
From this strange admixture of plant
life Mr.. DuVal yesterday brought the
first bloom. The flower is about eight
inches long and measures six inches
across the bell-shaped corolla, which is
lndented like both the parent flowers,
the points ending in ter dril-like twists,
as do the Unison weed flowers. The
corolla is purple on the outside, while
the inside is OF cream color. Three lay
ers of fieshy petals make up the bios
som. the petals being Joined with what
tallors would call lap seam. A green
calyx cup supports the flower, which
grows on stout stem.
The deep-purple color is continued in
the stamens and pistil, which form q
group deep down in the lily cup. The
leaves of the plant are like magnitied
oak leaves, and when pressed emit the
true jimson weed odor.
Mr.. DuVal will report on his strange
lily to the seedsmen, and will retain
some of the seeds for future expert
ments in his garden.-Baltimore Sun.

by having hen to himself.
