Roman house containing fourteen
apartments. varying In size, and with
walls painted with designs of the high
est interest for the classical scholar
When exposed to the light of day there
appeared about the structure number
OF tlbuloe and vases, and in the apart
ments themselves such a quantity OF
surgical instruments as to favor the
conclusion that the house was neither
more nor less than a hospital.
This is in many respects novelty In
medical archaeology. We have very
clear notions as to what the valetudi-
maria or infirmaries for slaves on patri-
clan estates We're like; but a building
for the wounded or ailing Roman sol
dier presents points of interest, as
hitherto no such buildings have been
found in their integrity. Moreover when
we add that never either in Switzerland
in any other scene of Roman military
occupation has there been found so
large an assortment of surgical in
truments as in this newly discovered
hospital near Baden, We have SAID
enough to awaken scholarly and
professional curiosity in the spot, and
to lend additional attraction to the
picturesque "Kurort," known since the
first century A. d. ON the banks of the
Limmat.-Laneet.

WISE NEW ENGLAND.

The wisdom Of Connecticut in send
ing Senator Plat to Washington for
another term is generally and heartily
recognized. As the New York Evening
Post points out, New England has
managed to have a great deal of in
f1uence in Washington by keeping her
Senators in office a long time. Senator
Morrill, of Vermont is just closing his
thirtieth consecutive year, and Mr.. Ed
munds would undoubtedly still have
been his colleague, with one year the
advantage in length of service, if he
had not resigned his seat. Senator
Plat entered the Senate in 1879, and
General Hawley, his colleague, Joined
him in 1881. Both Hale and Frye of
Maine were elected in 1881, and have
been reelected without opposition ever
since. Hoar of Massachusetts, was first
chosen in 1877, and under the present
commission will hold his seat until
1901. Aldrich of Rhode Island entered
the body in 1881, and has since then
been reelected twice. In other words,
seven of the twelve Senators from New
England have been fellow members
continuously since 1881, while three of
the seven began their service in 1879,
1877, and 1867. A custom which has all
the weight of law assigns the most i'm
portant places on committees to Sena-
| tors of the longest service, and through
the large measure of control over legis-
lation thus secured by it's old members
of the upper branch, the little north
eastern corner of the nation Yields an
| influence altogether out of proportion
| to it's small number of square miles.

this came caps of the dress goods and
below were long satin cuffs edged with
double ruffies of lace. A peasant girdle
of black satin bound the waist. The
one thing that has led to so much OBJ
lection to red Is the fact that the wo-
men who rush at new fashion head
long instead of taking 1t reasonably
have gone in SO much for plain reds.
Few such dresses are tasteful, because
the red needs relief. For this purpose
black is the best, almost the only col

New muffs are made rather fiat and

Though last years muff may not be as
fiat as it should be, it will pass muster
among new muffs If fitted with frills
about the openings. The frill may be
of velvet or satin, or may be of fur
contrasting with the muff. Lace is
usually added and softly falling bows
of ribbon. Many muffs are made OF
satin or velvet, fur or grebe appearing
merely as a finish. Black velvet muffs
lined with white and frilled with satin
masked heavily with black lace are
very pretty. FL0REIIE.

NOT ALTOG ETHER ED.

What is truth? said TESTING PLATE
1t is hard to tell. For instance, 1t has
been generally supposed to be true that
there are more horrors connected
with prison life in Russia and Siberia
than can be found in prison life in any
of the western countries. But the re-
port of DIR. Benjamin Howard, the not
ed penologist, who journeyed through
Russia and Siberia investigating the
penal systems Of the land of the czar,
makes this superstition shaky Dr.
Howard, than whom there is no great
err authority on penology, spent several
months in Russia and Siberia visiting
the largest prisons and the chief penal
colonies. He had no letters of intro
duction, but upon stating his purposes
was admitted everywhere and allowed
! to see everything and converse freely
with the prisoners. DR.. Howard not
only approves Of the system extant in
Siberia, where he says the convict la
borers are better treated than in most
western countries, but urges the adop-
ton of the same system by other ma
lions. He could find no barbarities
such as charged by KEENAN, and 9th
ers.
| 1t cannot fairly be denied that DIR.
Howard is competent to judge of the
condition of prison life in any country,
and nobody will accuse him of being
unduly Influenced by the Gear. So we
must give UP another cherished notion
and conclude that the popular impress
sion that life in Siberia is living
death and that the Russian prisons are
like those of the inquisition has been
due to the sensational tales of novel
lists who have drawn on their magma
lions for details, to the stories of es-
capped eonvicts seeking public sympa-
thy and to sensational writer's for news
papers and magazines who, going tc
| the land of the car in search of hor-
rors, in duty bound found them.

MEDICAL TREASURE TRovE II
SWITZERLAND


Our knowledge of the medico military
organization of ancient Rome owes not
a few Of it's most distinctive details to
Switzerland. Windisch for example, the
Vindonissa of antiquity, has proved
to the Swiss archeologist a real mine
of surgical treasure trove, lying as it
does at the junction of the Aare and
the Reuss, and commanding on the one
side the two Italian highways (from
the Great st. Bernard and from Como)
and on the other the communications
with the Rhine and Danube. Here was
found the celebrated monument with
inscription to Tiberius Claudius
Hymnus, surgeon of the Twenty first
Legion. Here, too, have been unearthed
medicine chests instrument cases, with
pincers, scalpels, needles, cathelers, and
such like in fine preservation.
DIR. Conrad Drummer of Zurich has
based on these discoveries highly in
teresting monograph and the enthus-
iasm he has awakened in the medical
branch of archaeological research bids
fair to fructify in even more precious
discoveries. Not many days ago there
was disinterred at Baden i'm Aargau a

FASHION NOTES.
Red Has Won Its way.

Red is the color in which the design
ers of new dress goods work their best
tricks, and now that we have become
accustomed to this shade, we find that
many of these new stuffs are remark
ably handsome. The material of this
pictured gown might three months ago
have seemed impossible, but its brick
red rough surface was particularly at
tractive in the original of this sketch.
Over it was a lengthwise strip that re-
lieved the red, at the same time decid-
edly enriching the material. The bod
ice had a plain back and a black satin
yoke in front framed by fitted pieces
of the suiting. Behind these came
narrow lace ruffles. and above We're
fronts with scalloped edges. Black
satin gave the stock collar, which was
finished daintily with lace frilling, and
the sleeves were very ornate, the puffs

ANOTHER KANSAS NOTION.

Kansas is more prolific of notions
than Boston ever was, even in her
most notional days. One of the latest
originated in the fertile brain of Henry
Mclean, partner of the new chief JUS
tice of the State, He has drafted bill
providing that no person shall own
more land than homestead, if others
desire the surplus for a homestead. If
the tender of a reasonable sum be re-
fused by the man who has more land
than homestead, the man who wants
that land for his homestead may go to
the courts, where the price he Is to pay
will be fixed by jury and the owner
will be compelled to turn over his land
for that price. This bill Is in a GER
tain sense modelled on Henry Georges
ideas, only it goes a great deal farther
1t takes it for granted that land for
homesteads is scarce in this country
which it is not, except in a few of the
most crowded cities.
Anybody who has ever seen a Kansas
county will appreciate the need of
such a law as that proposed by Mr..
Mclean. Land isn't SO scarce and
valuable in Kansas just now that there
is need Of fixing things so that man
cannot really own much of it. What is
more needed in Kansas than such a
law as is proposed is a law that will
encourage people to own Kansas land
and pay taxes on it.
