Silk Underwear IL Not HeaItbful
From the London Morning

SILK Underwear IL Not HeaIthful.
From the London Morning.
Opinions differ as to the comfort derived
from the different materials from which
underwear Is made, but there Is one thing.
says medical contemporary, which ad-
mits Of no doubt, and this is that while
silk Is exceedingly warm, soft and pleasant
to the flesh, 1t Is at the same time by no
means the healthiest substance for the
undergarment. In proof Of this, practical
observation has demonstrated that silk
stockings will make the toughest and
healthiest feet moist, wet and tender. until
walking becomes painful A silk scarf worn
around the neck next to the skin will. In
nine wearers out of ten, produce sore
throat. Silk makes the neck hot and moist
and the first stray breath Of cool air thai
strikes the skin feels like drop of iced
water, and will produce a cold. Silk seems
to nave the faculty. as contrasted with
wool, of opening the pores and melting
Perspiration; 6nd If 1t will do this with the
feet and neck there Is every reason to be-
Heve that it will produce equal suscepti-
bility to cold when worn about the chest
and limbs Those who wear silk stock
ings invariably have tender feet. The rule
that applies to the male applies equally to
the female. Silk underclothing may be yery
comfortable; but perhaps the advocates az
dress reform would do as much good IL
they would discuss carefully the hygienic
value of the material, as well as the cut
and style. of the undefgarment.

CHINAMAN's QUEER HOUSE.
One of the Shells I'm the Walls wouId
bring $4,000 IL Uninjured.

From the New York Journal
One of the most curious habitations On the
California coast is located on the beach.
near Cypress point, in Monterey county.
The place belongs to Chinese fisherman.
and the residence is partly natural and
partly the work of his own hands
The natural portion of the structure is a
small cave in one of the many rocks that
stick up all over the beach. The remaining
part is sort Of wooden shed that has been
built In front Of the opening The lumber
used is of the toughest kind, but the
estheiic Chinaman overcomes this objec-
ton by covering the whoh outside with
abalone shells, the hollow side being turn
ed out.
The Chinaman evidently did that many
years ago, when the shells We're plentiful,
and scarcely had any market value.
Some Of the shells are magnificent in color
and enormous in size. There is one, at
least, fifteen inches wide, which, if not de-
stroyed, would bring 5000 in San Fran
cisco. They have all been spoiled by the
nails which the builder sent to keep the
shells in position. Were il not for that the
outside Of the house would bring a small
fortune. The smaller ones would easily
bring 50 apiece, and there are many among
them that would bring far more.

WANT TO TALK TO EVERYBODY.
Deaf Mutes Want the Sign LnnEuas
Made IL Compulsory Accomplishment

Deaf Mutes Want the Sign Language
Made IA Compulsory Accomplishment.
From the New York Herald.
People who are prone to use sympathetic
remarks in speaking of deaf muIes may be
not be great while before these mutes are
looked upon as very fortunate class of
people. Indeed, there is serious thought
of compelling everybody in the land to
learn the language of the deaf. It's a
strange language, too, about which the or
binary citizen understands very little, even
though he believes he knows SO much.
There is a wide difference between the
sign language and the manual alphabet.
The latter, which is more or less familiar
TO many people, is merely the twenty six
letters of the alphabet expressed by the
fingers instead of written on paper or
spoken orally.
The sign language Is a much more COM
plicated affair. and its mastery entails a
great deal more study and practice than
the average citizen cares to eXpend for tina t
purpose. But 1t Is the simple manual tina
the National Association of the Deaf is en-
deavor1ng to have made compulsory part
OF the education of every man, woman and
child in the country.
The argument used in favor of such legis-
idtion Dy the national committeeman who
are lobbying for the bill is that 1t will bene-
Ut IN countless ways the million or more
GEAR people in the United States without in
any way encroaching upon the time or COM
forts OF the other millions who are in pos
session OF their hearing.
just now the efforts of the association
are being directed toward securing the in
PRODUCTION of the manual alphabet into
every school book. and its being made as
much part of the curriculum as geogra-
phy or arithmetic. Children are quick TO
learn II, they say, and by devoting few
minutes each day to its study under a COM
Petent teacher they become proficient in
It's use In a short space of time.
AS an incentive to the learning of the al
phapet by adults, the association makes it
known that all its members will hereafter
give preference In all cases to merchants
VINO are able to talk to them in their own
language. This rule will not be confined to
the deaf only, but to all members of their
1amlhes and to as many friends and ac-
quaintances as the afflicted ones NAV be
apie TO influence. AS this fact has already
been made known to merchants in manv
sections, the more progressive among them
nave begun to learn to talk on their fingers
and 1t is not an uncommon thing in the
west, where the movement started. to see
a d1gnified business man practicinC the new
language with some equally up-to-date ac-
Quaintance whom he has met on his wav
down town to business.
The custom, 1t is expected, will soon
reach New York to make the elevated
trains and surface cars impromptu school
rooms for the study of the language of the
deaf. - '-e

when its inability has resulted from extrava-
gance and a continuous and persistent course
of disregard of legal duty. The notion that
the state, in the enactment of these provisions
or in Its general legislation directed to corp
crate restraint and control and remedy, has no
longer any solicitude for the welfare or pro-
lection Of its citizens or other persons, after
such persons enter into a quasi-communaI re-
lation, such as arises from dealings with these
corporations, is entirely too narrow to be seri-
ously considered.
Can the status Of the company's finances be
restored? Its history from its beginning mega
tives the possibility of such result.
I. Is doubtless true that very considerable
per cent Of the aggregate losses of this COM
pany have resulted from depreciation of prop
erty, but it is equally true probably that a
greater proportion is due to the unlawful acts
and extravaganza shown by the complaint.
In determining this question, there Is another
fact that cannot be ignored. There is a large
sized possibility that these mortgage securl-
ties may be pronounced usurious, The effect
of such a disaster upon the condition of the
company is too obvious for discussion.
In any event that could follow the permits
sion of this defendant to scale down under
present conditions, liquidation would become
inevitable, and the present corps of officers
with the expense and salary list attached
would become the liquidation.

JOHNSON IS UGLY.
The Escaped Burglar Easily Cap

Charles Hagberg, alias Fred Johnson, the
young man who escaped from Sheriff Holm
berg April Is, by jumping from rapidly
moving express train on the Great North
ern road while on the way to the state re-
formatory at st. Cloud, to serve out a SEN
tence for burglary in the second degree, was
recaptured last evening and placed in the
county jail. Deputy Sheriff Megaarden ran
the young convict to earth. Hearing that
he was stopping at the house of Mrs. lie
rath, 7OS Third street south, the deputy Wis
Tied the place. He searched several of the
rooms without success until stopped by a
door that was locked. He forced 1t easily
and In the room found the man he wanted.
Johnson" was lying on a mattress talking
to friend. At the appearance of the officer
the latter hastily withdrew and his companion
covered his face and feigned sleep. He was
placed on his feet and marched to the county
Jail. During the short walk johnson" in
obliged in blasphemous arraignment of af-
fairs in general. While being prepared for
cell he turned viciously on the deputy and
spurred on by the shouts of the prisoners
made desperate resistance He was over
come and placed in dungeon for the night
Then the prisoner was in particular angry
mood, and nothing could be learned from him
concerning his jump from the train. The en-
CINE was speeding at nearly forty miles an
hour, and the wonder is that the young man.
being securely handcuffed, was not killed
The sponginess Of the soil, due to the rain at
that time, is thought to have lessened the
chances of his injury. On his wrists are marks
of the cuffs, which were probably filed off by
his friends. Sheriff Holmberg will take the
prisoner to ST. Cloud today.
