ORIGIN OF FLOWER MISSIONS.
The Sweet Charity was Instituted in

TO the inspiration of Miss Helen w.

in the flowers that burst into fragrant

Upon returning to Boston she observed
with what wistful eyes the children play

flowers she brought with her, and how
eagerly they accepted those she offered

The Co1ored Convict Still a Bone of
Contention at Waukesha.

Waukesha, Wis, Oct 27.--[Special.l
-Supt O. Merica of the industrial school
said this morning that he had received no
official notice of the illegality of sending
the boy Elyard to the Waukesha high
school and until he had he would natural
ly continue to let the boy attend the
school, He said that he did not know
what he would do when he did receive
the notice, but that he was law-abiding
citizen and should obey the law in all
events. He thought, however, that
some way might be provided by which
the boy might still attend the school le-
gally. 1t has been suggested that Mr. Mer.
lea might parole the boy to himself and
send him as his personal ward, but DR..
Elliott and his attorney hold this can
not be done legally and say that they will
oppose it. The matter may be entirely
settled, however, without the interior
ence of state officials at all. 1t will be
brought up at the next meeting of the
city board Of education and ON their ac-
ton much depends. If the board refuses
to admit Edward to the school the mat
ter is settled unless Prof. Merica wishes
to appeal from their decision, which is
unlikely. On the other hand if the board
decides to allow the boy to attend the
school DR.. Elliott will probably appeal to
the courts for a decision.

Checks for Seasickness.

There is common idea that seasick-
ness is beneficial, some claiming that it
clears out the bile. De Vries says that
this is not so, and it should not be
sought any more than diphtheria. To
prevent it he recommends a purge before
sailing and 20 grains of bromide of soda
at a. m, this dose being repeated one
hour before sailing. 1t is essential that
the person remain ON deck all of the time.
except when eating and sleeping, and
cold food should be avoided. Seasoning
the food quite highly with red pepper
stimulates the stomach and aids in pre-
venting and checking seasickness.
