A Specifc for Cuban Diseases.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
| desire to present a specific for dis
eases indigenous TO Cuba, including
yellow fever and cholera. 1t was used
with success at Mobile and New Or
leans during the several epidemics III
those cities. My specific is the result
Of practical experience, and consists of
the liberal use of garlic and whisky
taken internally, and used externally
as II wash, and also strung in beads
about the neck. Inhaling the fumes
Of the garlic constantly is immunity
against the spores of any disease. The
heat Of the body, with garlic next to
The skin, will generate garlic odor suf-
ficient TO keep a soldier in Cuba free
from disease for any length of time.
Garlic is simply a powerful flesh pre-
sentative, and is well worth consider
ing in case of a military occupation Of
Cuba by United States soldiers.

st. James Gazette: A handsome
dinner dress made in Paris for the
duchess of Marlborough is of turquoise
blue velvet. On the trains are three
hounces of lace set a little apart from

n the hem with jet and t~urquoises. The

and there is Il bunch of black feathers
on the shoulder. The duchess well un-

and is rather partial To large, pictur-
esque black hats. \ pretty orchid din
ner dress is of Palest heliotrope crepe,
with a lovely nounce of d'Alencon lace
I'm front, which outlines an apron and
meets at the back of the waist behind,
whence il falls in dainty cascades on
either side of the train. Trails of or
rhids from the waist and fall over the
train behind. The soft folded bodice
Of the crepe crosses over a dainty chem
lsette of tucked white silk and inser-
ton and another trail of cattleyas
crosses the bodice. The sleeves are
short and fiat and finished with a glis-
tening silver fringe that falls over n
crill Of lace. The small white gauzc
fan worn with il is spanglcd with
heliotrope and silver sequins, and the
long gloves are Of the palest hcliotrope
suede.

Philadelphia Record: In spite of the ter
rible increase in the destructiveness of
modern warfare, the tendency of the times
is to make a conflict as humane as practic-
able. For this reason the use of copper
covered bullets has been frowned upon,
and a Philadelphia physician has a plan
that he claims will wonderfully mitigate
the suffering of a man whose body has
been perforated by the modern small call
iber bullet. 1t is we'll established that the
velocity and penetrating force of these
bullets are so great that unless they
chance to strike a bone they will pass en-
tirely through a mans body without his
moving 1t. The physicians idea is to at
tach a small wad Of antiseptic cotton to

With murm'ring concord Of sweet sound

Beside the purling brook the joyous bird
With CHEEKY song, oft made the woodland

Thus answering the call of love. to bring

As dawn melts into day the seacons roll,

Anemones again their fragrance toll,
With many other flowers sweet and Wild
So life still answers TO the call of love.

possible TO so nicely adjust the adhesion of
the wad to the bullet that as the missile
passes out it will leave the wad to plug the
hole and stop bleeding. Ultimately this
system might do away with the necessity
of a large medical corps, as each bullet
would carry medical treatment for the
