hospital of the institution. By prom ise of rewards and punishments I suc- ceeded in inducing them simply to hold their breath when tempted to cough, and in little while was myself sur prised to see how some of the children entirely recovered from the disease. Constant coughing is precisely like scratching a wound on the outside of the body, so long as it is done the wound will not heal. Let person when tempted to cough draw long breath and hold it until it warns and soothes every air cell and some benefit will soon be received from this process. The nitrogen which is thus confined acts as an anodyne to the mucous membrane, allaying the desire to cough and giving the throat and lungs a chance to heal"

SENSIBLE.

Some of those who have appeared be- fore the War Investigation commission have said things that ought to be said. For instance, General Charles P. Egan, commissary general, who remarked: I believe the cooking was almost uni- formly bad. believe good cooks ought to be employed if they cost $t00 per minute. have recommended that very thing in my bill before congress, and devoutly believe that it ought to be done.
 Of course the cooking was bad. How could it have been otherwise. And of course it ought to have been better. Good cooks are worth $1OO per minute, but fortunately they can be had for less. The United States should see that it's soldiers have capable cooks, even if it has to start cooking school to get them.

est test of American virtue and capacity. Without abandoning past limitations, traditions and principles, but by meet ing present opportunities and obliga- tions we shall show ourselves worthy of the great trust which civilization has imposed upon us. At Bunker Hill lib erty was at stake. At Gettysburg the Union was the issue. Before Manila and Santiago our armies fought not for gain or revenge, but for human rights. They contended for freedom of the op- pressed, whose welfare the United States has never failed to lend hand to establish and uphold, and, I believe, never will. The glories of the war can not be dimmed, but the result will be incomplete and unworthy of us unless supplemented by civil victories harder possibly to win, but in their way no less indispensable.
 So said President Mckinley at At lanta yesterday. and the situation could hardly be more impressively stated. We certainly have undertaken a big job, a job which cannot be well done by the American eagle and by politics. Some think we should never have undertaken | it. But having gundertaken 1t there skoald | be no looking back. Even Professor Norton seems to concede that. The new problem should and will be tackled with hope and courage, and with faith in the destiny that has made and preserved | us a nation.

BLOODHOUNDS.

The following first-hand notes on the
 aptitude" of young English blood
 hound, absolutely untrained, show the
 material which the breed presents for
 development When puppy it natu- rally followed it's master by scent put
 ting it's nose down at once on to the grass path of the garden. Later it
 was seen to pick up the scent of it's
 master forty-eight hours old. and run
 it for two miles home across gravelly
 foot-paths near London. It was taught
 to amuse itself by hitting off his track and finding him in a large wood, which
 it did very successfully and on East
 bourne Downs often ran three-mlle
 course when the ground was hard froz-
 en and snow was lying in the holloWs.
 With strong wind blowing across the
 trail it ran parallel with this, but from fifty yards to one hundred yards to lee
 ward, at such a headlong pace that it more than once went head over heels in snowdrifts. Like almost all blood-
 hounds, this was a gentle animal and
 very teachable, would fetch slippers,
 mind" babies, and of it's own accord SlluCh uD d lIleuQGltlp Nllli tiiS PpiiSN,
 whose fire at the office he frequent ly shared; and was poisoned, presum- ably by burglars, who had brkoen into
 several houses in the neighborhood.
 | The gentleness of bloodhound disposi- tion is probably accounted for by their
 not having been used to hunt and kill prey. One of the most ancient anec- dotes of these dogs attributes the cap- ture of fugitive to the use of his own bloodhound. The name itself is prob-
 ably a modern one, based on vulgar error that the dogs only followed per-
 sons who were 'red-handed" from homicide" or who had about them the
 smell of recently killed sheep. The an-
 cient name was lyme dog or talbot, which latter appears to have been
 white variety of bloodhound. The Gu ban "bloodhounds," which were used for hunting slaves by the SpaniHrds, and were imported into Jamaica, were not bloodhounds at all, but a cross be- tween the mastiff and bulldog, or per- haps the "dogue'' of Bordeaux. They
 were, however used as police" and, like the bloodhounds on the border,
 were maintained in every parish in Ja-
 maica, where is was the duty or the
 church wardens to keep them at the
 expense of the community. Some of
 these dogs were kept in London during
 the early days of the geological gar dens. The stories of their feroclty are
 probably not exaggerated, though Lord Balcarres who imported two hundred
 of them into Jamaica to aid in subdu- ing the maroons, never used them. He frightened the negroes into submission by circulating the stories current about the dogs-London Spectator.

HINTS oN HOLIDAY SHOPPING.

One of the things that always bring scription of a woman going. into store, having everything taken off the shelves and shown to her and then buying a spool of thread or saying Much oblig- ed" Of course this is theatrical non- sense. Women don't act that way. They buy all they can pay for and some of them buy more. Were it not for the women the stores wouldn't be as big and departmental as they are. But the fact remains that some women are sometimes little inconsiderate in their shopping. This fact has been mo- ticed by a woman, Mrs. Ellen M Hem rotin of Chicago, and she, desiring to have Woman as perfect as she looks, has provided a few hints for those women who do not think as much and as definitely as she does These hints are as follows:
 l. Shop early in the day.
 2. Shop with a carefully classified list.
 g. Do no unnecessary shopping before Christmas.
 f. Do not ask to have goods delivered tho same day
 These hints are so we'll thought of in Chicago that they were read in some of the churches last Sunday. They are sensible and humane. The first two are applicable in every city, and if they should be generally accepted and acted on some of those in the stores who are just now too tired and exasperated might feel better. As to the third and fourth rules it will not be felt in the stores of this city that any shopping is unnecessary, and if goods are bought early in the day there will not be much trouble about the delivery of them on the same day.

THE COLD STORAGE OF FRUIT.

THE COLD STORAGE OF FRUIT.
 A report by MT. W. P. Wright, county superintendent in horticulture, on the experiments in the cold storage of fruit being carried out under the auspices of the Kent county council, has just been issued. The results of the experiments on strawberries may be epitomized as follows: CD The fruit cannot be kept long in a temperature of 36 degrees or upward: CD it can be kept for three weeks at least in tenn
 perature of 30 degrees; (3) it is neces- sary to surround the fruit with cotton wool, or, in the case of fruit in sieves, to place a pad of that material over the top. If this precaution is not talk en the fruit, though sound, becomes dull and loses the fresh, inviting ap- pearance which is so important when it is offered for sale. The general re- suits were: CD The fruit must be placed in store in advance of dead ripeness, especially in the case of strawberries Fruits that are fully ripe will keep for some time, but lose surface freshness, becoming scared and unsightly. @ Cherries pecked by birds soon go off, and other fruits inn paired in any way will not keep. To achieve success the fruit must be sound. (3) The fruit should be cover

REFORMS FOR GREECE.

When the king of Greece found ont last spring how weak his kingdom was he addressed a letter to his prime min ister in which he expressed the convic- tion that the disasters which had bs- fallen the country were due to general maladministration,a and that radical re- forms in many directions were abso- lutely necessary. M. Zaimis has now replied with letter in which he out lines the reforms which he proposes to institute. In the first place he intends to strengthen the judiciary by elevating the standard of the Court of Appeals and putting an end to the deposition or transfer of judges for political pur- poses. Next he will introduce system of competitive examinations for office and establish a council of supervision charged with the investigation of all public business. The police force will be enlarged and reorganized by foreign experts. The army, too, is to be over hauled thoroughly and means devised to secure a better class of recruits. He also proposes new regulations which will put some limits to the present prac- tice of putting vexatious and irrele- want questions in the Chamber, and urges the necessity of more stringent press law Other reforms are promised in the assessment and collection of taxes, the development of railroads, and the encouragement of trade.
 This is 8, large programme for a small country that is lucky to be alive, but the reforms planned are evidently much needed.

 Animals must grow more tails than they used to, or else there are farms and tails are cut off each season and grow again for the next. When you | observe that muffs are made a perfect | of tails, that collarettes have buach of tails hanging at the back of the collar as well as a lot of punches in | front, that cloth gowns are trimmed | with fringe of tails by the yard, that | hats for winter can a tail unfold to beat any ghost Shakespeare ever | dreamt of the inference seems natural | Where do all the tails come from un- | less animals have taken to having twin | tails or punches according to the de-

 the trimming is applied that is of espe- ial interest. Here they were hunters

FASHION NOTES.
A Big Crop of Tails Gathered.

Jewelled belts except of the very choicest kinds are all out of taste now. The latest thing is a belt with cameo buckles. Ribbon sashes are considered just as pretty. They are ornamented in all sorts of pretty ways. A sash two yards and half long of black satin ribbon is used as a belt for fur blouse coat and has one end cut fish tail,' the other slanted to a single point. Little fur heads are set on each point, making three heads in all for the trimming of the belt. This is not a tremendous ad-
 dition to the cost, but gives just the

A crusade against the large divorce business transacted in Indiana has been undertaken by the ministers of that State. Nearly every denomination was represented at a recent meeting, where it was decided to prepare amendments to the law to be submitted to the legis- lature next month. Last year 1908 di- yorces were granted, the majority of them for desertion. Judges present at the meeting said that the same men and women are in the divorce courts year after year. It is not proposed that di- vorces be limited to the scriptural cause, but only that it be made more difficult to obtain them, and that the lemarriage of divorced persons be pro- hibited.

A few days ago the Boston city coun- cil adopted orders increasing the salar- ies of inspectors, lieutenants, sergeants patrolmen and assistant keepers of the city prison, under the police depart ment, by the sum of $200 each per an- mum. Mayor Quincey has vetoed the measure. He says that it is only with great difficulty that the city can make both ends meet at the present time in carrying on it's business, under the lim- ited tax rate established by the law of the commonwealth, and the proposition to increase salaries by the sum of $212,- 400 in one year in any single depart ment of the city, or even in all the de- partments put together, is one which, upon financial grounds alone, cannot be entertained.

A WINCHESTER BULLET
A Bisbee Man Meets Deaih by ACCi-
 dental Shooting.

Policarpia Urias died Monday from the wound he received few days be- fore A ccroner's jury said that death was caused from the effects of a bull let wound in the left breast from a Winchester rife. which was accidental ly discharged while in his hands. There were but two witnesses examined, a sister Of 16 years and his brother-in law. Cacario Ruiz. a boilermaker in the employ of the Copper Queen company. Ruiz knew only that upon being ap- prised of the accident he went to where Urias was and the latter asked him to promise to care for his mother and sister.
 The young sister was the only per son besides himself in the house at the time the shooting occurred, says the Bisbee Orb. She stated that between 9 and 10 o'clock ir. she morning her brother arose frim his bed and without saying anything walked to a corner of the room where his Winchester rife was, and taking It in his hand starred toward the center of the room. AL most immediately she heard the shot and saw that her brother had been wounded. He sank to the floor and laid there grooming, while she, terror stricken, ran tO alarm her mother and other relatives near by. In a few mo- ments she returned with them and her wounded brother was laid on the bed. She heard him make no remark at the time O. the shooting or afterward, ex- cept to ask for water, and she could assign no reason why he should have shot himself intentionally.
 No further facts could be learned by tne committee appointed by the Span American society to investigate tEe affair and they accepted the finding of the coroner's jury.
