indian Professional Dyer..

The number of professional dyers in
India is fast diminishing. Aniline
dyes and cheap European goods ar,
killing their trade. They are being
compelled 10 turn their attention to
new handicrafts. just as French com.
petition and the vagaries of fashion
caused the ribbon-makers of Coventry
TO seek a new livelihood in the manu-
facture of bicycles. Aniline dyes have
made every man his own dyer Former
ly, the complicated processes by which
indigenous dyes were prepared made

body can dissolve the chemical pow
ders sent out from Europe and color
his own Clothes. The ani,ine dyes ar,
more brilliant, and. to the native. they
have the superlative merit of cheap
ness. They are not so fast, and they
lack the delicacy OF color which. judg
ing by the specimens annexed TO the
monograph, distinguish the Indiar
dyes, but their gaudiness makes then
more popular. and so the fate of the
native dyer is sealed. Silk dyeing. cot
ton dyeing and carpet dyeing are all
declining. The fault, it should be add
ed. is to some extent due to the con
servatism of the native dyers them
selves, They persistently adhere to
their crude methods of preparing their
dyes. and show lamentable lack of in

BITES OF MOSQUITOES.
Many Cnscs of Serious Illness Have
Becn Traced ia Them.

Becn Traced 10 Them.
Many cases of serious Illness and
some deaths have lately beer traced 10
the bites of mosquitoes. The insects
are bred and fostered in decayed mat
ter and the transfer of poisonous germs
to the Blood of the victim causes the
complications. A person bitten on
one of the veins behind the ear by a
MOSQUITO inoculated with the poison of
putrid matter would be in great dan
ger. for the germs would reach the
heart and brain within few minutes.
The puncture of large vein is very
dangerous. A person with thin or
diseased blood is more liable to serious
injury than one who is healthy. The
humidity of the season is a source Of
danger. Large quantities of decayed
matter are produced from which the
insects derive fatal poison. James +.
Whitaker. in the American Text Book
of Medicine, gives the opinion that an
tbrax. believed to be identical with the
plague of olden times, can be COM
municated by mosquitoes. Their
bites may be treated by an application
of oil or pennyroyal, liquid ammonia.
solution of bcarbonate of soda or pot
ash. or of chloroform. Recently a
large salt marsh on Staten Island
which had been a prolific breeding
ground for mosquitoes was sprayed
with crude petroleum. with the result
that the plague has nearly disappeared.

skip" was really responsible. al
though he didn't quite realize the far
reaching effect of his innocent action.
Skip" it should be explained, is the
pampered British pet of the Wrinkle
children, and is one of the haughtiest
of Oak Parks canine aristocracy.
We're he a biped he would probably be
staggering about the tennis courts
at Oak Park in duck trousers. with a
monocle screwed into his right eye and
chatting with the suburban beauties
with a most delightful English drawl.
As becomes fox terrier of exalted
lineage. he is particularly clever and
intelligent. but one of his marked char
acteristics is a wild and consuming
jealousy If little Miss Wrinkle he,
slows upon her beloved dolly Mignon
the earesses with which every doll
mother is SO lavish or if Paterfamilias
Winlae cuddles the wee Wrinkles in his
arms before bedtime, or should Mrs.
Wrinkle greet her friends effusively,
skip" accepts the act as a deliberate
slight and lifts up his voice in pc
culiar whining bark that is at once
protest and a supplication.
One night there called at the Wrinkle
cottage two young people in whose
careers the Wrinkles are much inter
ested. One of them is a young profess
sional man who has already well es-
tablished himself and the other a
bright North Side girl at whose shrine
many hopeless youths have worshiped.
These two had been neighborhood
friends for years, but none of the neigh
borhood gossips had ever been able TO
determine what the future of the pair
was to be.
After a chat Mrs. Wrinkle stepped
into an adjoining room TO hunt up
sample Of a new shirt waist, and Mr..
Wrinkle. in the temporary absence of
the Venus who presides over the
destinies of the Wrinkle kitchen, wan
dered out TO the refrigerator to see
what he could find in the way of cold
drink. They were hardly out of the
room before their ears were startled
by 'Slip's" sharp voice raised in jeal-
GUS protest. There could be no mis-
take. When Mr.. and Mrs. Wrinkle re-
turned the young people occupied seats
widely separated, and the face of each
was calm and unruflled. But Mrs. VIM
kle knew what had happened.
Erred" she said, shaking her finger
at the young man, why haven't you
told MS of your engagement
Engagement" asked the young
man, innocently, Ito whom?'
why, to Edith here"
Miss Edith's big blue eyes grew
larger. a rosy blush crept up to her
temples under her fluffy curls. Both
were about TO enter denials.
Don't you dare deny it. Here you
are spooning the minute our backs are
turned. II you must kiss her, wait
next time till Skip is out of the way"
When it dhwned on the young peo-
pie that they had been innocently be-
trayed they promptly confessed that
matters had been settled for some |
time, but they had been keeping il
secret.
ut was such fun" observed Miss |
Edith. Nobody even suspected.

FILTERED BLOOD.
Morrow's Method of Curing Diseases
Accusing the Interest of Scientists.

Physicians of all schools are beginning to
realize that the primary cause of nearly every
disease that attacks the human system is the
failure of the kidneys to perform the duties
nature assigned them.
The blood is constantly absorbing from the
different articles of food taken into the stom-
aeh, various impurities which, if permitted
to course through the system, quickly render
the blood unfit TO carry ON the process of
healthy nutrition and ultimately result in the
development of disease.
1t is the duty Of the kidneys to filter the
blood; the slightest irregularity in the per-
Torrance of this function is Immediately man.
Tested in a general weakening of the body, a
tendency TO give out with little exertion. This
symptom is closely followed by Others of much
more distressing nature which it is often Gus
tomary to attribute to other causes.
John Morrow AN eminent chemist of S2ring-
field, Ohio using as basis for bis work the
theory that the kidneys are responsible for
the condition of our health, has produced a
new remedy which he has namad Morrow's
Kidneoids the purpose of which is to act di-
rectly on the kidneys. eliminating all unnatu
raj deposits and rectifying the damage caused
by their existence.
The remarkable results obtained by this
medicine have attracted wide attention and es-
tablished new method of treating disease, the
efficacy of which cannot be disputed.
Morow's Kidneoids are prepared in yellow
tablets so small as TO almost rob them of their
virtue IN the eyes of those not vered in medi-
cine, but so potent is their influence that their
effects are noticed almost Immediately.
They are now on sale generally. If not to
be had of your dealer they will be sent post
paid on receipt of 70 cents per box, 6 boxes for
81 so, by the Herb Medicine Co., Springfield,
Ohio.
