A Remarkable Soldier.

One of the most remarkable men of
the present generation died at Iava-
sofa, Texas, a few days ago. His
name was Hannibal Hamilcar Boone
and he claimed to be q relative of the
renowned Daniel Boone. After max
ing a brilliant war record he served
his State in the capacity of Attorney
General. General Boone was one of
those men who could never go under
fire in battle without being hit. His
body was scared with wounds. Most
of the fingers of his hands had been
shot away. In fact, he was SO COM
pletely injured in the various battles
in which he took part that had he been
a Union soldier he would have been
pensioned rs a total physical wreck.
He was successful, however, in the
practice Of law and was one of the
best known citizens of his State. At

Clever Blind People.

Joseph Wunbrecht, of Augsburg,
Germany, was blind from birth, but
kept a secondhand book shop so sue
cessfully that he retired. A writer in
Scraps says that his shop often con-
tanned as many as twenty thousand
volumes but so acute was his memory
that if he had once handled book and
placed it on the shelf, he could always
find it again Immediately it was
wanted. When a fresh batch of books
came in, Wunprecht's wife described
them to him, and such was his knowl-
edge of books that he was able from
this alone to accurately price them.
A blind doctor is certainly a rarity,
but a blind doctor who practises, and
not only practises, but does SO sue
cessfully, seems an impossibility.
Still, there is an example of this. DIR.
Hugh James, of Carlisle, who only
died in 1859, lost his sight when about
twenty-five years old. At the time he
was studying surgery, but gave that
up, and took to medicine. He sue
cessfully passed his examinations at
Durham, and Q 0 Il degree OF NJ. L.,
and by his skill soon got a large prac-
tice together.
Joseph Strong, q Birmingham me-
chan1c, was another blind wonder who
died about the same time as DR.. James.
His special hobby was making musical
instruments, and he built several
organs quite as good as those made by
seeing men, besides a number of flutes,
v%iolins, etc., which in tone and finish
were decidedly superior to the majority
Of those imported into this country.
In the latter part of his life Strong
turned his attention to weaving, and
with his own hands, unaided by any
body, constructed a loom which con-
tanned several important improvements
upon those then in use, and some OF
these improvements are in use at the
present day, nobody having been able
to improve upon the invention Of o
blind man in that line.

New York,a Finances.

The gross municipal debt of New
York City now amounts to $19s, 554, :
1913, which is partly Offset by a sinking
fund of about $7S, $50, 900, making the
net bonded debt about $3.50, 900, 600.
The interest on this indebtedness
amounts to ST, 500, 900 in round num-
bers annually, of which So, 500, 600 is
provided by the sinking fund.
1t costs $50, 900, 900 a year to pay
the running expenses Of the city gov
eminent, in addition to which there is
an annual issue of about $15, 900, 600
of bonds to help out on maintenance
and improvements. The rate of taxa
ton for the past three years has been
as follows: 1894, 81. 70; 1895, 81. 81,
and 1896, $2.14. The city receives
each year about SO 1880, 900 from water
rents, and at least So, $50, 900 from va
rious public franchises.
The total number of persons in the
employment of the city ranges from
Fl, 900 to 81, $50.

Notwithstanding the rapidly increas
ing use of electricity there is no di-
intuition, but rather an increase, in
the use of gas in Germany. Last year
1913, 900, 900 cubic metres OF gas were
manufactured.
A complete cure in a case of lockjaw
is reported from the German Hospital,
San Francisco. The case was treated
by an injection of a tetanus anti-toxine
similar in its source to that used in
cases of diphtheria.
An Austrian Lieutenant named
Schimatzel has made an important
military invention. It is q cover,
made Of leather, canvas, or rubber, for
keeping out dust of moisture from the
breech mechanism of q gun. 1t can
be rapidly opened, and when closed il
has the further use of preventing the
gun from going off accidentally.
The latest enumeration of the
Asteroids, or small planets, circling
the sun between the orbits of Mars
and Jupiter, shows that up to the
close of 1896 no less than 429 had been
discovered. The number of new ones
found last year was twenty, but some.
times it turns out that the supposed
discovery of another asteroid is really
only the rediscovery of one that had
been seen before. They cannot be
identified by their appearance, since,
except a few of the larger ones, they
are mere specks of light, and only
way to keep track of them is by study
ing the orbits in which they travel.
Pretty soon after the cricket frog
appears the cry of the pepper is heard.
Much erroneous information has been
published about this tiny young fellow.
Many persons believe the cry to be
made by the young of other frogs. AS
q matter o ffact, the pepper is a distinct
variety, and a very curious little fellow
at that. He is not more than FIVE
eighths of an inch long. The peppers
hibernate under sod and in such
places a few inches beneath the sur-
face, and when they come out in the
spring are of a grayish yellow color, or
a reddish brown. During the summer
they are nearly white, but at all times

Age of Forks,

It is said that forks are fully 900
years old. In 995 A. D. a son of q
Venetian Doge, Pietro Orsolo, was
married to the Princess Argilla, who
used at the wedding breakfast a silver
fork and a gold spoon. This set the
fashion for these indispensable arti-
cles, and their use soon spread all
oveg Europe.

FOA Clean es.


Freckles may be blemishes, in spite
Of the fact that the freckled girls adj
mirers call them sun kisses; sunburn
may be a trial and wrinkles a bane.
But nothing in the nature of q skin
imperfection is quite so painful to a
woman's vanity as blackheads.
A blackhead is q certificate of un-
cleanliness. It means that into the
open pores of the skin some particle
of dust or CRIME from the street blew
and vas not dislodged by prompt
washing, Or that some impurity from
within exuded and was not bathed
away at once. That is the reason why
a dainty woman will welcome any
form of blemish rather than q black
head.
To remove blackheads do not use
external force. That mars and scars
the skin. Instead, if the trouble is
one of long standing, rub the face with
a pure cold cream every night,
working the grease well into the pores.
Then steam the face over a bowl of
boiling water for ten minutes. Then
rinse it gently in tepid water, dry on
a soft towel and anoint again with a
little cream. This steaming and
Dreaming process will eventually clear
the skin.
If the blackheads are not of an old
date, they may be cured by nightly
face baths in hot water. The skin
should be scrubbed gently with a
cancels hair brush and pure soap,
rinsed in tepid water in which few
drops of benzoin have been poured,
and anointed with a pure cream

Bicycle Don,ts for Women.

Don't fail to have the skirt adjusted
for walking as well as riding. A
puncture or accident of some kind may
oblige you to return from your ride
afoot instead of a-wheel.
Don't consider any old cast-of gar
ment good enoughfor the wheel. The
utmost care for becoming, artistic at
tire should be shown by the woman
cyclist. A woman rider is always con-
spicuous and she should be above
criticism in her personal appearance. !
Don't place too much confidence in
your fair neighbours record. She may
see double ON her cyclometer or wind
and grade of road may have favored
her spin.
Don't cry down bicycling because
you have been injured or fatigued.
Others may be more discreet.
Don't ride sooner than half an
hour after a light meal Or an hour
after a hearty one.
Don't try to reduce your super
duous adipose by rapid cycling. II
will doubtless reduce your heart vigor
and increase your weight.
Don't enthuse too violently over the
joys of cycling. It disgusts the moder-
ate thinker who would otherwise re-
gard the sport %fayorably.
Don't ride in stiff waist clothing oil
any kind.
Don't ride in a long skirt. Tits not
modest, since it outlines the shape OF
the body, and it is not artistic because
the pedaling movement suggests the
grasshopper.
Don't consider the ride of yesterday
any criterion for that of to-day. Ply
steal conditions aud climatic influences
should enter into consideration for
each days ride.-New England Home.

Not at All a HELPLESS Doll.

The girl Of to-day is a busy, useful
worker. She is generally proficient
in needlework. She cannot only alter
her own dresses, but cut and make
them and her underclothing as we'll.
She has a knack of trimming her hats
and furnishing her wardrobe, and does
her full share at helping the dress
maker who comes to assume charge of
the spring and autumn sewing. She
understands the various branches of
mending, and takes that division of
labor off her mothers hands, as we'll
as the a of the parlor and dining
rooms, the arrangement of flowers, the
supervision of manners and apparel of
the younger children, and sometimes
their studies too. Let full justice be
done to ''the girls of the PERIOD" Or
rather let there be a clear comprehen-
sion of what should be really repre-
sented by that much abused phrase.
1t is not fair to take the weakest speci-

HAT trimmings
The most chic trimmings used on
sailor hats are wings and quilts. Many
of them are smothered in flowers and
tulle. With the perfectly plain shirt
waists perfectly plain sailor hats are
still worn. They vary little from
those of last season in their lines, ex-
cept the crown is a trife higher and
the brim not so wide. A sailor hat OF

Of which rise two lace, broad black
