A SOCIABLE TIME.

The ladies of the Silver State Lodge
met at the home Of Mrs. j. G. Drlscoll
last Friday afternoon, where they had
previously arranged to serve lunch
con in honor Of Mrs. L. L. Sanford.
who is moving to Truckee. The
gathering was in the form of a surprise
to our worthy Sister, and it is needless
to say that the surprise was com
plete one. Mrs. Driscoll was ably as
sisted by the members of IL.
After partaking of all the good things
in sight, the tables were again spread
and all the firemen who could be found
were invited to assist the ladies in a
way that proved wholly satisfactory to
all. Some Of them even suggested
that some one~of our members move
every week. Brother Harry Short
thinks that in that case he could man
age to live on one meal a day.
We are all very sorry to see Mr.,
and Mrs. Sanford leave us. We hope,
however, to see them real often, as
Mr.. Sanford will keep his run from
here 10 Truckee as heretofore.
Our society will miss Sister Sanford
as she was instrumental in having our
lodge organized here and has held the
office of secretary since that time.
The afternoons enjoyment was con-
cluded with songs and recitations by
some Of the members present.

The ancient nightcap which has Just
come out of its lavender-scented chest
from companionship with the hoop
skirt. the powdered wig, and patches,
with claims to medicinal properties
and virtues. finds itself confronted

costume they would not be subject to
colds in the head. catalrh, and even

ing up under adverse professional
criticism. DR.. Frances Dickinson of
the Harvey Medical school considers
its claims puerile. There is only
one form of nightcap which is sue
ceSsful as a preventative of colds in
the head, said DR.. Dickinson That
is composed OF whisky and hot water.
4 person cannot take cold through the
hair The hair is on the head to pre-
vent that occurrence.

The oyster has Just been the sub
iect of an elaborate communication to
the British Royal Society by PROBES
sor Herdman and Mr.. r. Boyce. They
say that they did not find the typhoid
bacillus in any oysters obtained from
the sea OF market-that would only
have happened if they had got them
(which was not their purpose) from
tainted spot. But for experiment they
infected clean oysters with germs, and
the two principal results were emin-
emily satisfactory. One was that,
while the typhoid bacilli could be de-
tected in the body of the infected oys-
ter for ten days, or even more, after
introduction, they showed no signs OF
increase, and in the intestine actually
perished The other showed that by
washing infected oysters in stream
of clean sea water the typhoid bacllll,
in from one to seven days, uniformly
and invariably either greatly dimln-
ished or totally disappeared. 1t is
clear, therefore, that sea water is hos
tile to the development Of these noX-
ious germs. OF the green oysters, the
investigators say that some are per-
fectly wholesome, while others are not
The reason is a simple one. The
greennsss in the former case is due to
the presence Of a harmless vegetable
pigment. There may be also a small
quantity of an iron salt associated with
it; but this has no connection with the
coloring matter In the other kinds
of green oysters the color is due to a
deleterious salt of copper. The cpl
cure, therefore, will do we'll not to eat

they come from.

SONS, 400, 600 pounds jasmine, 300, 900
pounds cassia blossoms, 800, 600 pounds
tube roses and 400 600 pounds yiolets.
The average price paid for these bios
SONS per pound is; Roses, six cents;
orange blossoms. seven cents; jasmine,
twenty-five cents; tube roses, fifty
cents. and violets and cassia blossoms,
forty cents. One plant of violets
furnishes about six ounces of bios
SONS and an orange tree about twenty
pounds.
A woman can gather forty pounds
of roses in four hours, or six pounds
of jasmine in the same time. She can
pick twelve pounds OF tube roses in a
third of day, but it takes full days
work to gather twenty pounds of yio-
lets or orange blossoms.
To obtain one pound of essence re-

The approach to Ceylon is really
the greatest charm that accompanies
visit to the island. 1t is even money
that the steamer will pass through a
monsoon before reaching Colombo,
the chief port of entry, unless the
traveller goes by way of the Red sea,
and then the heat of this water of
Biblical renown is just as terrifying
and twice as disagreeable. The mon
soons of Indian ocean come and go
inside of ten hours. The heat of the
Red sea is eternal. But, coming oat
of a monsoon, after the steamer has
been tossed and twisted and its decks
swept from stem to stern with the
angry seas, after the timld women
have finished crying and the skeptical
finished praying and the epurser brayely
tells how he passed through one ten
times as bad, the shores OF Ceyion

Women show genius of high order
whenever they attempt to explain the
causes of the ills which attiict most Of
mankind. 4 woman, one of those in
telleCtual, up-to-date women, who
would rather discuss the nebularhy-
pothesis and account for psychological
phenomena than cook or attend to
wifely duties, has stated that the
colors of the dresses which women
wear are responsible for their nervous
complaints. Green, for instance, pro-
duces Indigestion, while ball gowns of
the same color cause headaches; a
royal purple dress is a sovereign rem
edy for a sore threat; black, that dig
nitied color which adorns most women
so gracefully and bewitchingly, is re-
sponsible for the over-excited person;
certain other colorS close to the
throat, she AYERS, produce blindness,
deafness and other horrible Affections.
The benefactors of humanity are
those who reduce any philosophy to a
practical science, and this woman
heaven bless her!--is entitled to niche
in the worlds pantheon for suppressed
ing the science of medicine by point
| ing ont the relation Of colors to health.
All of us may rest assured that food
has nothing to do with indigestion; it
is the color green. And whenever we
are physically, mentally and morally
suffering the colors we wear are not in
the proper juxtaposition to the human
frame. The evidence presented may
not be indisputable, but with this
feminine logic has no concern.

The White House has some aged ser
wants. One of the doorkeepers in the
executive mansion was appointed to
his place by Lincoln. He has been
reappointed by every president and he
is there today, bent in form, but alert
in mentality, and willing to tell all
about the good old days. Jerry"
the aged colored porter in the White
House, has been there since the days
Of Lincoln. Jerry is Spiritualist,
and he tells visitors. with profound
solemnity, that he converses daily, or
rather nightly, with the spirits of Lin
coin, Grant and Garfield. Another old
employe of the White House is Sim
mons, the colored messenger to Sec
retary Porter. Grant appointed him,
and he remained until the days of
President Harrison. Harrison did
not like Simmons, so he had him
transferred to the treasury building,
where Simmons was obliged to bend
his dignity and haul boxes around in
the basement. When Cleveland came
back for his second term he missed
Simmons and gave him back his old
place. - Washington Letter to the San
