The business" Of some of the oc-
cupants of the rooms in charge of GER
tain chambermaids was being discussed
by a number of these hardworking
women the other day and n little
chambermaid was heard to say:
Il never experienced anything like it
in all my day! Everything was all
right until one of these new reform
women or something of that sort,
came here to live. She converted all
the other women and now my. life is a
burden to me. 1t all commenced with
the bed sheets; she keeps herself in a
perfect fever lest | should happen to
change them. She doesn't var the
under sheet placed for the upper one;
and she talks as if her nervous system
never would ecove if by any chance
I should turn them upside down; that
she slept on last night comes
tonight against the mattress on
blanket. She says that would be I'M
clearly, and so, of course, unhealthy.
If she is in the room when | am doing
her work she stands owe me to see
that those sheets are unchanged, and
if she isn't there she marks them with
a pencil SO she may be sure they are
put on right. She talks physical cul-
ture' and 'woman's rights etc., by the
hour to the other women, and has got
them all converted to her sheet fad
Now, I wouldn't say a word if hadn't
found out for certain sure that she
strains at gnats and swallows camels.'
For instance, she has got a cabinet Of
rare china in her room which she n.ever
allows M to touch. She takes care of
it herself, and you can write your name
in the dust on it any time. She often
sends for me to come and make her
bed before it a been aired a bit. She
never washes her teeth but once a day,
for she says herself she doesn't. She
walks a good deal because it is such
healthy exercise; her dresses are too
long for walking, and so she comes
home with the skirts all wet and mud
dy. Ever so many times she goes into
dinner with both the under and out
side skirt drabbled like that. Then
when she takes them off she hangs
them away in her closet without ever
touching them until she gets ready to
wear them again. Oh, 1 tell you, it
isn't always the women who talk the
most about cleanliness and healthful-
ness that observe the rules for Them

The New Silk.

The one great novelty in the COM
ing millinery fashions is the use of
vegetable silk for the fancy plaits,
which are at least an inch wide. This
has the most silky and charming
sheen upon it. The more expensive
kinds are made entirely Of vegetable
silk, but it is initiated in silk combined
with hemp, Here, again, the range of
colors is very bright, indeed; vivid
pinks, yellows, greens, p%etunia shades
and many others are ready to be made
up into the fashionable hats and bon
nets, while others show a combination
of two colors and sometimes three,
such as pink, yellow, light green and
cream. 1t is very light and is likely
to effect quite a revolution. This same
fabric has been woven into an open
sauZe of a very light, thin make in
various %colorings, and it is being
ruched and gathered to form ruches
for the inside of hats. Some of them
are shot, and many of these vegetable
Silk straws lave the two colors COM
bined in such a way that they also APP
pear to be glace, while quite a new no
ton is narrow straw freely striped
in two colors with the same effect OF
combined coloring.

design in cord is traced. The bodice
is tight-itting and rather long. 1t is
slashed nearly to the waistline. and
each slash is adorned with rows of
braid, to match the skirt trimming.
From waistline to bust the waist is
then cLvered with cord embroiderery,
also matching the skirt. Over each
shoulder, both front and back. fall
three elongated plaits, that also carry
out the trimming scheme. They are
lined with black silk and are fastened
down on each side with four jet but
tons. The sleeves are leg-'o-mutton,
with cuffs of braid.-The Latest.

NEW SHRUB THAT is a REMEDY
A Sure Cure for Kidney Diseases and
Rheumatism.

A Sure Cure for Kidney Diseases and
Rheumatism.
1t Is no doubt true that next to con-
sumption, more people die yearly from
diseases Of the kidneys than from any
other cause. In some respects Kidney
disease is the most dangerous Of all
maladies, because 1t usually has made
much progress before the victim ID
aware OF its existence. It. is, there
lore, with great pleasure we commend
to our readers the recent discovery
IN East India Of the Kava-Kava shrub.
which has proved a most powerful
remedy for diseases of the kidneys.
rheumatism, or other ailments caused
by uric acid In the blood. The cures
wrought by this new remedy are indeed
most remarkable. Many who have suff-
cred from the most severe forms Of the
disease, have been completely cured In
from twenty to forty days by the
Kava-Kava shrub. In the New York
Weekly World of Sept. 10th, the testi-
mony of Rev. w. B. Moore, d. D., Of
Washington, D. c., was given, describ-
ing his years of suffering from Kidney
disease and Rheumatism, and his rapid
cure by Alkavis. Rev. John H.. Wat
J son OF Sunset, Texas, a minister of the
gospel of thirty years service. was
struck down at his post of duty by
Kidney disease. After lowering be-
tween life and death for two months,
and all his doctors having failed, he
took Alkavis, and was completely re-
stored to health and strength and Is
fulfilling his duties as minister Of the
gospel. Mr.. R. c. Wood, a prominent
attorney of Lowell, Indiana, was cur
ed of Rheumatism, Kidney and Blad-
der disease of ten years standing b!
Alkavis. Mr.. Wood describes himsel
as being in constant misery, often com
PEELED to rise ten times during tn,
night on account Of weakness of thu
bladder. He was treated by all his
home physicians without the least
benefit and finally completely cured in
a few weeks by Alkavis. The tcsti-
mony is undoubted and really wonder
full. Amy of our readers who are SO I'M

Facts About Coal.

A curious fact Of practical impor-
lance is sometimes lost sight of in the
management of coal, namely, that
while hard and brown coal are both
subject to explosion and ignition, the
causes are different; the explosion be-
ing due to the liberation of gas known
as fire damp, which follows on a de-
crease of atmospheric pressure, while
ignition results solely from oxidation
of iron pyrites contained in the coal,
these pyrites being exposed to the ac-
ton of oxygen and moisture. The
finer the division of the coal the great
er Is the danger, and coal above

ground is particularly liable to this.
Numerous attempts to reduce this dam
ger have been made, principally by
ventilating the stacks, a plan which,
however, has failed, on account of the
increased amount of oxygen introduced
into the interior of the mass. The
practice of ventilating the coal bunk
ers of ships has net even up to the
present time been abandoned, notwith-
standing the .u~nfavorable results liza
