A Charming AuthOress.

She wasn't down on the programme,
but for all that the most interesting
thing about the Sorosis meeting was
the presence of the author of "Some
Emotions and a Moral" She sat upon
the platform and she didn't look a bit
like a woman who would chose John
Oliver Hobbs as a pen-name. She
was of medium height, plump in fig
ure and possessed a pair of bright,
rather restless brown eyes. Her hair
was also brown and her complexion
brilliant. When complimented upon
her clever stories she replied: "Oh,
you are very kind; but l don't feel
one bit clever over here. Everything's
so clever. Why, l haven't met a stu
pid woman since l landed in Amer
lea" Mrs. Craigie expressed herself
as especially delighted with Sorosis.-

Enr-RingA to De Revived.

1t is rumored that the use of ear
rings is to be revived, and as these
ornaments have frequently been given
as wedding presents in fashionable cir
cles lately, l am afraid 1t is likely to
be true. 1 noticed that the Duke and
Duchess Of York presented a brooch
and earrings to Lady Eva Greville.
l do sincerely hope hat women of
to-day will pot often be found willing
to revert to a fashion which is but a
remnant Of barbarism, and that they
will not spoil the natural beauty Of
their ears for the sake of sticking jew
els in them. If one the fashion Of ear
| rings should become general again it
| will only be a matter of time before
| the reintroduction of those ~hideously
vulgar-lookiDg. long appendages, which
| distorted so many pretty ears in the
past. Before any of our readers has
her ears pierced l hope she will on
| slider that the fashion may be very
| transitory, and that even if the rings
are not worn the mark very seldom
disappears; moreover, any weight at
tached to the lobe of the ear is likely
to drag it down and spoil its proper
shape.-Home Notes.

Aatitoxin Treatment for Dlphtheria.

Treatment for Dlphtheria.
In the face of the distrust and OPP
with which the attempt to
extend the use Of antitoxin in the
treatment of diphtheria has been met
in certain influential quarters 1T Is
gratifying to read the summary of re-
suits, so far as obtained by the new
treatment, from the pen of DR.. WEIGH.
professor of pathology in the Johns
Hopkins university. Statistics have
been carefully collected from all parts
Of the world, and the reduction In
mortality in diphtheria by serum
treatment is brought out in a very
striking manner. Perhaps the best
testimony to the efficacy Of the new
system is furnished by the experience
of Baginsky and others, who record
the results obtained during an invcl-
untary pause in the serum treatment
caused by failure in the supply of Sc
rum. Thus Baginsky states that be-
'ween March, 1894, and March, 1SA
20 children were treated with anti
toxin, with a fatality of 1916 per cent.
During the period when the supply of
serum was exhausted, 126 children
were treated without antitoXin, with n
fatality of 4S.4 per cent. Similarly,
Korte noted a rise In fatality from
1873 per cent, when no serum was pro
durable. and during an epidemic OF
d%iphtheria at Trieste the fatality rose
from 81 per cent to so per cent when
| the supply of serum failed. A Ger
man medical journal has instituted a
collective investigation of all the
cases of diphtheria treated with Sc
rum. Such statistics owuld prove OF
inestimable value in assisting the
formation of a correct official judg
ment of the therapeutic value of anti
toxin. In the meantime, DR.. Welcl
states that the study, so far, of th'
results of the treatment of over 1,O0t
cases of diphtheria by antitoxin dem
o%nstrates beyond all reasonable doubt
that anti-diptheretic serum is a spe
cific curative agent for diphtheria, sur
oassing the efficacy of all other know
methods of treatment for the disease
while the essential harmlessness o
the serum has been demonstrated b,
over 100, 600 injections.

Boston BoOtbIacks' Original Ideas

A very devout gentleman of Boston
has recently undertaken to teach a
Sunday school class of bootblacks and

and he has had some very amusing
experiences. He relates that recently
he undertook to tell a story of Jacobs
ladder. After he had graphically pic
tured the w%anderings of the sad old
patriarch, his dream in the Eastern
pasture and the ladder ON which the
angels were ascending and descend
ing, he paused and said:
"Now, boys, if there is anything in
this story that l have not yet en-
planned, you may ask me any question

Thereupon a little chap cried out:
"Say, Mister Minister, did you say

About eighteen years ago, when Mrs.
Annie Dale, of SO Bruce Street, was a bright,
merry school girl, she was tlken ILL with
SCARLET fever. She recovered, but she was
a very different girl from a physical stand

Fowls.

Fowls fatten more rapidly in close
confinement kept by themselves
coops or pens, and so darkened that
they cannot see anything which might
attract their attention and cause them
to worry and excite themselves, says
an exchange. Fattening should not be
attempted until the birds have attain
ed their full growth; in fact, it is I'M
possible to do this beforehand. al
though all properly digested food is
| never lost. 1t is not well to fatten
fowls on corn alone, as they would be
pretty certain to suffer from indlges-
ton. While this grain should form the
principal food, they should be supplied
| with a variety of anything they will
| eat, clover and all kinds of green food
being particularly desirable. The more
the appetite is tempted the more
quickly the fattening process will GO
on. For %fattening, the pullets are the
best taken before they begin to lay
| and the cockerelS just as their tails be
| gin to turn.

Children must be taught what the
parents wish them to know. Teach
them truthfulness and gentle ways
and they will be true and gentle. If a
boy hears bad language from his
father he will repeat it just as GER
tainly as he has a tongue in his mouth;
and if ii little girl hears her mother
gossip, she will gossip the moment
she meets a playmate. People who
devour their food like cattle must not
expect their children to have nice

if not quite dry, footing. The sight of

In respecting Il customs they mao

Years day as the day when the.r
masters should return their presents
and good will in solid cash.
AT midnight we were by
n regular Fourth of July pandemoni-
UNI. Whistles from the factories, sal
yos from Fort Canning. bells from the
churches. Chinese tom-toms, Malay
horns rent the air from that hour un-
iii dawn with all the discords of the
Orient and a few from Europe. BY
daylight the thousands of natives
from all quarters of the peninsula and
neighboring islands had gathered
along the broad Ocean Esplanade IN
front of the Cricket Club house, to
take part in or watch the native
sports by land and sea.
The inevitable Chinaman was there,
the King, the Madrasman, the Sikh.
the Arab, the Jew, the Chitty or lndl-
an money-lender. they were all there,
many times multiplied, unconsciously
| furnishing a background of eXtraor-

commenced. There were not over two
hundred of us white people to repre-
sent law and civilization amid the
teeming native population.
In the center of the beautiful espla-
made or play ground rose the heroic
statute of Sir Stamford Rallies. the
English governor who made Singa'
pore possible. To my right on the
veranda, stood a modest, gray-haired
old man who had cleared the seas OF
piracy and insured S~ingapore's com

Preparing the Cream for Churnins.
Most good butter makers prefer the
| cream to become slightly acid before
churnirg, but the acid should not be
carried too far, for if it is the yield
| of butter will not be as great, as the
acid will consume, to a certain extent,
the oil or butter portion of the cream.
| The cream should be churned at a
| temperature of SO to GO degrees in the
summer and at 90 to 81 degrees in The
winter. When milk is set in shallow
pans and allowed to stand thirty-siX
to forty-eight hours at a temperature
not varying but little from TO degrees
the cream will perhaps be very near
the proper condition and temperature
for churning, when removed or skim
med. But when cream is raised by
the cold, deep-setting or Swedish
method, it's temperature is, of course,
not the proper one for churning, and
unless sweet cream butter Is prefer

why the Danes Are n Sober Nation.
A medical man, in discussing the va
rious modern cures for inebriety, says
that a great deal Of i~ntoXication could
be prevented by shifting the RESPONSE
bility of it to the shoulders Of the S
%loonkeeper, and making him stand the
consequences. The adoption of this
system in Denmark accounts, in a
great measure, for the small amount
of drunkenness found in that country.
When the police of a Danish city hnd
a drunkard in the street they summon
a cab, and, placing him inside, drive
to the police station for treatment by
the police surgeon. When sober he is
