Etching on Wood.

The etching OF wood may be SUCCESSFULLY
accomplished by coating with hydrochlo-
ric acid, which causes the wood To soften
to the dapth of about two millimctcrs
When both OF the acids are used together
tho wood becomes white. whilo II only
nitric acid is used the part coated becomes
of n backcned appearance. In order TO
prevent the otch from running, the method
pursued Is To previously treat the other
parts with an alcohol lacquer of sufficient
thickness or with liquid wax or mix.
turo Of two parts white WAX, two parts
m ,stic and one part asphalt, these being
IN 'lte1 together and stirred intimately
tAgetllor, then poured with cara -aDen tha
places which are 20 bo untouched. Some
fine specimens of work I'm this line are

Woman Who Served in
the Revolutionary War.
Interesting History of Mrs.
Gannett and Husband.
She Was an Invalid for Years From
Shot Received in Battle.

We are hearing a great deal Of war talk
Just now. The jingos in Congress are
giving full rein to their tongues and are
annihilating the Spaniard with wordy
weapons 1t was this war talk that led
gentleman who has made careful study
of our Revolutionary struggle TO tell the
interesting story OF the only woman dell
nitely known TO have served in the patriot
ranks during the struggle OF the colonies
to throw off the yoke OF England. Ihls
was Deborah Sampson, whose nome was
in the town of Sharon, Norfolk county,
Mass Just what induced her TO take
this course is uncertain. When hostilltles
commenced on the 18th OF April 100,
she was "A quiet country girl OF 10 years
and one would naturally expect that at
this impressible period OF lie. ana under
the intense excitement which prevailed
at that time, living as she did WITHIN ~
miles of where actual war was going on,
that, II ever, she would then have made
the attempt 10 join herself with tho
patriotic young men who were fast en-
rolling themselves in the fight for free
dom. But il was six years later when
she enlisted. At the age OF ~ with her
body we'll developed and Judgment
matured, and all her plans carefully ana
eliberately made, she privately LETT her
home and dressed in male attire, sue
ceeded in getting mustered into the SER
vice, either personally or by proxy-proD
ably the latter-for 1t could hardly be
possible to pass the surgeons examination
personally without detection.
That she was not an amazon thirsting
for blood, but in full possession OF the
natural inclinations and desires OF the
average woman, her subsequent career
conclusivey proved. She was described
as possessing clear understanding,
general knowledge of passing events;
fluent in speech. and delivered her SEN
tilnents in correct language, with dellDer-
ate and measured accent; easy In her
deportment affable in her manners,
robust and masculine In her appearance
1t is said that she was popular In the
company, and held In high esteem by her
officers on account of her expertness and
precision in the manual exercises and her
ever exemplary conduct. She enlisted
under tho name of Robert Shurteff in
Captain George Webb's company, and
Col William Shepard's regiment, II being
the 4th Massachusetts Line.

BUBONIC PLAGUE.
OBSERVATIONS MADE AT THE q. S.
MARINE HOSPITAL.
1t is a Disease the Most to be Dreaded
But it Yields Readily to
Disinfection.

New York, Jan. 25.-Dr. Walter Wy
man, surgeon general of the marine
hospital service has been making a
special inquiry of the bubonic plague,
now raging in India, the deadliest
scourge that ever afflicted the earth.
1t has already been brought by infect
ed seamen to France.
In an interview he says:
In general the disease is spread in
the same manner as cholera, except
the cholera germ must enter the intes-
final tract, while the germ of the
plague may attack any part of the mu-
cuous membrane, or be contracted by
even the minutest abrasion of the skin.
While this germ is so vlrulent and so
easily taken into the system, it is one
of the most easily killed by disinfec-
ton.
I'm the experiments now being car
ried on in the labratory of the ma
rine hospital service, il has been found
that but one pathogenic organism is
as easily destroyed as the plague bac-
cillus, namely the staphy lococcus py-
ogenes aureus. One per cent of quick
lime will also desaroy il.
Inere are known 10 De TWO IOTIlS
of the disease. One is the Illuminating
form called 'pestus major in which
form the disease acts very quickly and
is very fatal; the other 'pestus minor
in which the symptoms are mild, the
patient not being confined to the bed,
whence this class are called ambulant
cases The period for incubation for
the acute cases appears to be pretty
we'll fixed at or under ten days, while
i'm the other cases the apparent period
of incubation may be very much lon
ger. In other words, ambulating cas-
es may be afflicted for a period Of ten
to thirty days before the symptoms
have developed which call attention to
the disease. The acute form of the in
lection may cause mild attacks while
on the other hand, the ambulant cases
may cause acute attacks. The ambu-
liant cases, therefore, are the most to
be dreaded"

ALFARO INAUGURATED.

New York. Jan. ga dispatch to
the Herald from Guayaquil, Ecuador,
says:
Gen. Eloy Alfaro, constitutional pres
ident of Ecuador has been inaugural
ed. There was general rejoicing in the
capital. Quiet prevails throughout
the republic.
There are rumors in Ecuador that
the conservatives aided by the cleri-
cal party will attempt to institute a
revolt on the ground that the religious
faith OF the country by the liberal pol
fey of Gen. Alfaro.
Gen. Alfaro has been outspoken in
his desire to effect religious tolerance.
This Is especially offensive to the cler-
icals, who have for many years been
all powerful as the mouthpiece OF the
vatican. They still WELD a great in
fiuence over the people and are exert
ing every means TO bring the conserva-
tives party again into office.

YALE-HARVARD.
NO BOAT RACE BETWEEN THEM
THIS YEAR.
Base Ball and Track Games Will Cone
Off As Usual If There Is No
Further Hitch.

New York, Jan. 25.-A special to the
World from Cambridge, Mass, says:
Harvard athletes are now devoting
more attention to the Harvard Yale
question than to actual practice in the
respective branches OF sport. The gem
eral feeling is that contests between
the blue and the crimson will have to
wait another year.
The thought of having no boat race
comes as a bitter disappointment to
many, especially to the crew them
selves.
This is practically the situation at
present. Harvard has the previously
agreed race with Cornell, which must
be lowed without regard to a race with
Yale. The Cornell race will without
much doubt be rowed on July 2 at
Poughkeepsie. To row Yale after this
race would be palpably unwise and
any proposition to that end Harvard
was perfectly justified in refusing.
The best Harvard could do then was
to proffer Yale June Is as the latest
day on which she could row. Yale
asserts tndJ OWING 10 FACULTY reStFlC-
tions she could not possibly row on
that day.
1t is understood that Harvard made
it possible for Yale to enter the Pough-
keepsie race, which was no easy mat
ter on account of friction between Cor
nell and Yale. For some reason such
arrangement seems distasteful to YaeI
and the crimson has not been disposed
to force Yale into it. Thus the matter
stands, unless later reports from the
athletic officials announce another rup-
ture in the negotiations for final agree
ment. In a word it would seem that
there are no reasons to render a race
physically impossible.
The majority Of the students, includ-
ing the most influential baseball and
track men, have decided that baseball
and track games are desirable even
without boat race and that it would
be no back down on Harvard's part
to arrange these games, leaving the
race until 1898, when the present diff
culties for arranging the same shall
have all been removed.
