Pack your own trunks and pack with

gowns are due to careless packing and
loose adjusting than any other one

Of pressure applied downward will do
more than accentuate the natural folds.
"A single toss Of the trunk that is loose

urally taken when held in an upright
position and turn over smoothly at the
top. Shake wraps from the shoulders,
lay them out in the folds which they
naturally take, with great care smooth
the sleeves and turn the fronts over on
the back, smoothing and adjusting all
trimmings and frills so as to avoid
horizontal creases. It is impossible to
so fold a garment as to- avoid all lines,
but those taken lengt hwise of the cloth
readily disappear and are also little
noticed, as they take the direction Of
the folds formed by the garment itself.
Jackets, however, must be so man
aged as not to show crease. Loose
bodices require tissue paper for the
support of puffs and the like, but they
can be saved from much rumpling if
spread out in the trunk and folded as
little as possible. Then pack close and
tight. Reluctant as we are to bear

Sacred Threads and Cords.

The sacred thread of the Brahmans
Is well known. 1t is a caste distinc
ton assumed at an early age, and never
parted with. It must be made by a
Brahman, and should consist of three
strands, each of different color. 48
yards in length, doubled and twisted
together twice, the ends tied in knots.
1t must be worn next the skin, over the
left shoulder, hanging down to the
thigh on the right SIDE. The three
castles of the Hindoos are distinguished
by the material of these threads-cot-
ton for the Brahmans, hemp for tho
warriors and wool for the artisans. The
parsees also wear the sacred thread,
and boys ut seven or nine are invested
with it, the threads used being made
always of fibers of the suru tree. Mo-
nier Williams describes the sacred Cir
die of the parsees as made of ~ wooden
threads, forming fat band, which is
twined three times around the body
and tied in two peculiar knots, the
secret of which is known only to the
parsees. The use of, medicine cords''
is common among North American In
dams. Mr.. Bourke describes those
worn by the Apaches. These consist
of one, two, three and four strands, to
which are attached shells, feathers.

NEW CURE FOR WOUNDS.
A Zulu Hint Leads to q Wonderful
DiaCOverv.

AUAu A1AMI ACnuo ~ !" W Wa
Discovery.
The new system of oxygen treatment
was discovered by DR.. George Stoker,
brother of Mr.. Bran Stoker, of the
Lyceum theater. It consists of the ex-
posture to the affected parts to the action
of oxygen gas. The ailments disappear
as If by magic. How? Ia. g..
e Surgeon Major Semple, dealing with
the discovery, says: tsPossibly the
oxygen acts in one or more of the fol-
lowing ways: (a) Diminution of irri-
tation. Any dressing you choose to ap-
ply to an open sore causes more irrita-
ton than a mixture of oxygen and pure
air. (b) Direct stimulation without ir-
:ritation. (c) The oxygen may oxidize
the toxins produced by micro-organ-
isms in the surface of the ulcer. This
may apply more especially to the toxins
produced by baccilli when present.
(d) AS stated by DR.. Stoker, the oxygen
has possibly selective power in it's
action on heterogeneous present in
the ulcer, encouraging staphylococci,
which then outgrow the bacilli'
Sufferers will be glad to learn that so
long as they have only staphylococci,
which are comparatively harmless mon
'sters, it is all right. s-.@-
The new method of treatment was
suggested to the doctor by the Zulus.
When they are wounded they climb an
eminence and expose their wounds to
the pure air of the mountain tops. After
the Turco-Russian war he noticed also
that the invalids sat with their wounded
limbs bare on the deck: Scientifically
developed, and with the addition of
oxygen---one part of oxygen to one part
Of purified air-that is the principle now
adopted at the Oxyg gen home. Boxes are
filled with the mixture at the gaso-
meter, and attached to the chambers,
which inclose the wounds. When q
Daily Mail representative visited the
hospital merry little lad, afflicted with
discharges from the ears, was running
about with tube in each ear attached
to a gas bag hung like school satchel
across his back. A man with diseased
eye wore an appliance little larger than
the ordinary shade. Patients lay in bed
with diseased limbs inclosed in glass
cases, fed automatically with the mixed
gas. Comparisons with the photographs
of the original wounds showed that re-
1narkable improvements had been ef-
fected in very short time. Two of the
men had suffered before entering the
hospital for SO years. One man who had
suffered for 40 years is now cured. In
all - cases have been treated in the
home, representing an aggregate of
1927 years of suffering. OF these 46 have
been cured, and IA are still under treat
ment and progressing favorably. Re-
duced to averages, the cured patients
suffered for 51s years each, and were
cured by the oxygen treatment in two
months.-London Mail.

The pasta told us to-day story of a

groom, and these did not agree with the

the Englishmen cursed their religion.

here?" six months" ''Have they had

why do you curse them ?" And so, hav.

The Rights of q YOUNG w.t.

Ihe tights OF q Young Wife.
Before everything else the young
woman has right to expect from her
husband tenderness, sympathy and
faith. But sometimes, in his eaeerness
to make all life fair to her, he fancies
she is a doll, and not a woman. And
doll is a very selfish toy; it demands
careful treatment all the time, and it
gives nothing but pretty appear
ance in return. It is the foolish wife
who expects infallibility in her hus-
band. She forgets that there is diff
ference between the housewife and the
house moth. She should expect from
her husband politeness at all times,
and a certain gentleness that every
man, possessing the real instinct of
man, gives to a woman. But she should
not expect from him too much. She
has no right whatever: to ask of him
permission to live lazy life herself,
and to give up all her days and years to
vain and idle thoughts. When the
wife can make the husbands home
cominga joy, his demonstrating a pleas
ure and delight, and his leaving home
a sorrow. then, and then only, can she
expect great deal from him.-Ladies'

HAVE LOST FAVOR.

SavOries to Serve at Afternoon Teas
in Place of Cake or Waters.
Cakes and waters have lost favor at
tea tables. They have been replaced by
little savories. which harmonic with
the popular antique silver and china
by passing under their oldfashioned
name of 'whets;" for the afternoon
tea. originally intended to be a light
refreshment, had become a detriment
to the dinner. Savories. on the con-
trary, are a whet to the appetite and
clear the palate for the due apprecia-
ton of the dinner. Two or three diff
ferent kinds are usually served. Any
body possessed of a little cooking
knowledge can arrange a variety of
them at minimum of trouble and ex-
pense, and in their variety lies halt
their charm. - ID
There are many kinds of fish, bott,
preserved in oil and smoked, that may
be used. These should be sprinkled

thin slices of fresh bread-from which
the crust has been carefully cut-rolled
and served en- pyramide.
Toasted crumpets, heavily buttered,
spread with caviar upon which little
lemon juice has been squeezed, and
served hot. are considered great deli
cacy on English tea tables. Another
way of serving caviar is to spread it on
thin bread and butter, which is then
rolled up like tiny cigars. Russians de-
clare, however, that the less done ia
caviar the better it will be, and to send
it to the tea table in it's original jar
with an accompaniment of fresh dry
toast and quartered lemon is the fash.

Fine Skin Creams

For those who have occasion to use
much cold cream, the following recipe
will prove not only most healing and
delightful, but can be made at one-quar-
ter the expense that one is in the habit
of mourning for creams of best quality:
Take one-half pound of the very best
lard and boil five minutes in pint of
water, then place in cold water to cool.
When perfectly cold, boil in exactly
the same way again. Repeat this opera
ton four times. Then melt this clari-
fed lard by itself and thoroughly beat
into it small-sized bottle of glycerine
and cucumber. Another excellent cold
cream il made as follows: Take two
ounces of oil of sweet almonds, one
dram of white wax, one dram of
spermaceti, one half pint of rose water
or orange water. Melt and stir in
mortar till cold. A very simple and eff
ficacious salve for the lips may be made
by taking equal parts Of almond or
olive oil and the best white wax. Melt
the wax in 9 clean saucepan, set it on
the side Of the stove, and stir in the oil.

greatest events of the closing century,

mainly. 1t would make England and the
United States the arbiters Of the peace of
the world.
Other European nations would before
long apply for admission to the alliance

European nations would follow. War
would be thing of the past and all diff
