Asbestos Is Now Used by Surgeons Be-
cause 1t Is Quickly Purified.
Asbestos has come into use as a sur
gical dressing. Its softness to the
touch and glistening, silky appearance
commends it as being unirritating TO
the skin and cleanly. But the chief rea-
son for its use is its indestructibility
by fire. This quality makes it possible
to render asbestos surgical dressings
absolutely free from germs. No other
form of lint or cloth can thus be ster-
ilized.
Antiseptic surgery was introduced a
little after the death of President Gar
field. The original idea was TO kill
all the germs and microbes in an opera
tion wound by means of strong dis
injecting solutions, such as carbolic
acid or bichloride of mercury. All op-
erations were carried on under spray
Of antiseptic solutions until the sur
geons began to poison themselves by
too free use of them.
Next the surgeons found that IL they
boiled all their instruments and dress.
ings, they could dispense with the
spraying and many of the "antiseplic
precautions" The ingenuity of instru-
ment makers and surgeons was ex-
hausted in devising new forms Of ster-
ilizers. Roosevelt hospital and other
hospitals in the city have great mum.
Der of devices for sterilizing dressings
with superheated steam under high
pressure. Instruments are boiled in
various solutions or baked in ovens.
The chief material used is purified
gauze, which has taken the place Of
"lint." Immense quantities of it are
used every day in the large hospitals,
for gauze dressing is never used twice.
Asbestos dressing can be used over and
over. again, for no germs can stand the
heating that asbestos can go through,
and each time. it becomes, MS, good as
new and absolutely germ-proof.
tt will be chiefly used for military
surgery. The. great problem of army
surgeons is how to be- perfectly anti.
septic, which means simply absolutely
clean in surgical sense, with the lin.
tied means at their service. A hand
full OF asbestos can be sterilized instant

Asbestos is made from mineral sub

elastic fibers. 1t is quite cheap. A

OUR ACTING PRESIDENTS.
Three Cabinet oficcrs to Whom Presidep
Cleveland Delegates His Power.

Cleveland Delegates His Power
One of the questions that puzzled that
very inquisitRe visitor, Ii Hung Chang,
was how government could possi-
bly, run along in the absence from the
national capital of most of the chief
executive officers. His traditional in
stincts ana euucatiol, no matter how
FURNISHED up,by intercourse with west
ern civilization, still left him associat-
ing the rule of the great Chinese empire
with the presence of the "Son of Heav-
en-" in Pelung, and carried out the same
idea in regard to the presence of the
ruler of the United States in Washing
ton. LIS embarrassment on this ques-
tion was not unreasonable, and those
he questioned on the subject were just
as unable Z satisfy his curiosity as
prossoly ti% majority of the general
public would be. The fact is that,
though the president of the United
States in recent years has frequently
been absent from the capital in the
summer months, the nation is never
left without an acting executive there.
The practice, begun by Mr.. Cleveland
during his term, and closely followed
by Mr.. Harrison, and again adopted
by Mr.. Cleveland in his second term,
has been to designate some special
cabinet officer as the acting executive.
lie has full powers to represent the
president in the event of any unfore-
seen emergency arising in our relations
with any foreign power; this power was
notably exercised by Secretary Blaine
in the settlement of the italian incident
growing out of the Malta lynchings in
New Orleans.
President Cleveland has three cabinet
officers to whom he delegates this pow
er-Secretary Olney, of the state de-
partment; Secretary Carlisle, of the
treasury, and Secretary Lamont, of the
war department. There has never been
time during the long summer when
one of these three men have not been on
deck. When Olney went away, Carlisle
stayed. When Carlisle went to- Maine,
Lamont went back. If any emergency
arises calling for executive action, the
other cabinet officers consult the man
on deck. Mr.. Carlisle usually holds
these conferences at his housc. and so
also does Secretary Lamont, who rare
ly visits the war department in the dali
season, and then only for few minutes
at time. Mr.. Lamont is in charge now.
If Lord Salisbury, through Ambassador
Bayard, should cable an inquiry abont
the Venezuelan arbitration, the reply
would go out from the state depart
ment in the name of the president, out
would be written by Secretary Lamont,
of course, after communicating with
Gray Gables, if the exigency seemed to
justify it. No one but Carlisle, 0lney
and Lamont has ever been left in this
responsible position by Mr.. Cleveland,
but the fact that each in turn has been
acting president has been well known
to their cabinet associates, though not
so generally understood by the public
IN. Y. Times.

Wheels Loose In Garret.

at the entrance to Whitehall sllp
ihere stands a corpulent, fine-looking
policeman, who discharges the func-
tions of his Office with "a justice and
good temper that have won for him
the friendship of all who cross the
ferry. When anything unusual occurs
within his bailiwick he gathers all the
salient details and niceties of the case
and to those whose curiosity is whct-
ted retails them with great suavity.
A few days ago woman who had long
been noted for her eccentricities on the
ferry appeared just as the tide of travel
was heaviest and lying down in the
roadway proceeded to shrek and tear
her hair. Many of the commuters
would have liked to tarry to see the
end of it, but, the boat whistling that
moment, they had to cut and run. The
following day, however, one of them
approached the corpulent policeman
with demand for particulars. "Surc."
said the guardian of the law, "the lady
had just few wheels loose in her Cay.
ret and | sent her off to the court.
where the 'joodge' ordered an inquest
into her sanitary condition."--N. r.

LETTUCE FOR SOUPS.
1t Is Much Better Than the Average
Housewife Thinks.


Lettuce, according to Twentieth Gem
tury Cookery, forms much better soup
ingredient than the average American
housewife imagines. 1t also makes an
excellent vegetable, especially the large
headed and coarse-leaved varieties,
which are now both plentiful and
cheap.
Wash the leaves free from grit, break
them into pieces, put into frying pan
a tablespoonful of beef dripping; when
hot, add tablespoonful of chopped
onion; let it color slightly; then put
into the pan as much of the torn-up
lettuce as it will hold; add no water;
cover and stir the pan to prevent burn
ing; the heat will cause the lettuce 10
exude moisture. Season with salt and
pepper. When the lettuce has boiled,
or rather steamed down, and looks
cooked-which will be in IS or 20 min
utes-turn 1t into two quarts of soup
stock. Simmer Is minutes longer, and
serve with croutons or toasted bread
dice.
Or, instead of soup stock, add two
tablespoonfuls of liquid extract of beef
to two quarts OF water.
If you have it handy tablespoonful
of chopped cold chicken may be added
to each quart of SOUP.

WOMAN AND HOME.
TO HELP Ex-CoNvICTs.
Mrs. Ballington Booths Novel Plan to As
Aist Released prisnners

Nrs. Ballington Booths Novel Plan to As
sist Released Prisoners.
Mrs. Ballington Booth has q new
scheme to help eX-conyicts.
The finger of scorn is no longer to be
pointed at them. Men who have been In
Sing Sing prison and who desire to live
good and upright lives will in future
have chance to do so. They will have
a chance to start life all over again.
Mrs. Ballington Booth proposes to
welcome such convicts right at the gate
of Sing Sing prison. She will offer them
home, friends and employment.
The first thing necessary for carry
ing out this plan was means of trans
portation for released convicts from
Sing Sing to the Volunteers place of
refuge, She will have n steam launch
in commission as soon as the purchase
money has been secured. The boat will
be called the 0mer Sage, in honor of
Warden Sage, and will be manned by
ex-convicts. A pretty Volunteer lassle
will be in command. The captain that
has been selected is an expert sailor, and
with her at the wheel, the little vessel
filled with earnest Volunteers and hap
py ex-prisoners, will soon be seen dart
ing over the neighboring waters on its
mission of mercy and succor.
Among the Volunteers the men who
are earnestly trying to live down their
past will be given every opportunity not
only to help themselves, but also to help
others of their class. Mrs. Booth be-
lieves that men who have been prison
mates must have more or less feeling for
each other, and that the influence OF
men who have for some time been free
in their treatment of recently dis
charged convict can only be for good.
Another reason for using launch to
receive the men, instead of allowing
them to leave Sing Sing by train is that
they may avoid all possible chance of
recognition. Then, again, the sail down
the Hudson river is trip likely to be
impressive by the grandeur of the
scenery. In the estimation of Mrs.
Booth, If ever man can be in position
to appreciate such scenes, and so open
the way for serious thought of the past
and future, it is just after leaving the
tomblike cells Of Sing Sing and sailing,
free man once more, down the grand
est river in America.
On leaving Sing Sing the vessel will
set out for "Hope Hail." which is the
name selected for the commodious home
over which Mrs. Booth has supervision.

Those who are not in good health, ow-
ing to confinement and prison fare, or
from whatever cause, will be given en-
ployment at this sylvan retreat near the
banks OF the Hudson.
"In thinking of the hopelessness Of
the future of the great army of dis
charged criminals who walk out Of
prison gates every year, branded as ene-
mics TO society and law, believe have
at last conceived plan,' said Mrs.
Booth, "by which hope to in great
measure remove the ban from this class
of unfortunates. Many man on his
return to freedom means honestly to
try and redeem his evil life, to be, in
short, man. But how to go about it?
What can he do with the stain of prison
bars upon him, to earn an honest living ?
Who will employ n man whom the law
has caused to be confined because he Is
menace to the lives and property Of
his fellow-menW
Mrs. Booth has made an arrangement
with Warden Sage by which her repre-
scntatives shall be informed of the ex-
act time of the departure of prisoners.
A truck farm Is to be q feature of
Hope Hall, and in out7of-door work men
who have so long been shut in by stone
walls and iron bars will undergo phys
ical and mental rehabilitation. In this
way those who are experienced in the
handling Of vessels and those who show
aptitude for farming and gardening
will be given permanent employment
on the launch and about the grounds
Of the hall, should they desire it.
"We confidently hope" said Mrs.
Booth to New York Journal reporter,
"that the feeling Of self-reliance which
congenial tell will inspire in these out
casts will serve to arouse their self-re-
spect and restrain them from ever fall
ing back into their old vicious ways.
Instead Of being subjected to humil-
ating suspicion on their return to free
dom, these men will find with us a COM
Portable home, in which they will be
surrounded by elevating Influences"

How to Keep the Eyes Bright.

Never rub your eyes nor allow your
children 10 do so from their cradles.
Wells are bad for the sight, especially
those spotted or covered with a pat
tern; so eschew wells when you can, or
wear the softest, clearest net when
obliged to do so. Never read in bed or
when lying on sofa. Sit with your
back to the light when engaged in
reading or working. Pale blues or
greens are the most restful wall papers
for the eyes, whereas red is exceed
ingly fatiguing. Do not read, write or
work longer than two hours together
without resting your eyes and closing
them fully five minutes.-H Home Queen.
