and that DR.. Blunt. state health OF.

facts in the case are as follows:
On Friday DR.. Tabor telegraphed
Gov. Sayers for tents and cots to
be used In isolating patients and
persons who had been exposed to
the disease. The governor wired
back that he had no tents, cots or
money for this purpose at his COM
mand. DR.. Tabor then wired that
the disease was confined to the
negroes who were unable TO pro-
vide for themselves; that the coun-
ty and city were unable TO bear the
expense, aud that unless he could
get assistance in the way Of tents
and cots he would have to ask the
state to take charge. DR.. Tabor

THE CRIMES OF THE
TONGUE.

gun-the first is the human tongue.
The gun merely kills bodies; the tongue
kills regulations and, ofttimes, ruins
characters. Each gun works alone;
each loaded tongue has a hundred &C.
completes. The havoc Of the gun is
visible at once. The full evil Of the
tongue lives through all the years;
even the eyes of Omniscience might
grow tired IN tracing it to its 6nality.
The crimes Of the tongue are words
Of uukindness, of anger, Of malice, OF
envy, of bitterness, of harsh criticism,
gossip, lying and scandal. Theft and
murder are awful crimes, yet in any
single year the aggregate sorrow, pain
aud suf erIEg they cause In a ma
ton is microscopic when compared
with the Sorrows that come from the
crimes of the tongue. Place in one Of
the scale pans Of Justice the evils re-
sulting from the acts Of criminals, and
IN the other the grief and ear and
suffering resulting from the crimes OF
res~pect8bility, and you will start back
N amazement as you see the scale you

BLACK SKIRTS.

The care of several black skirts, and
those in mourning need at least three,
is no small task, for the tiniest spots
show, as on no other goods. Never
hang them away with the dust of the
streets upon them, for the longer it re-
mains, the more difficult it is to re-
move. A few vigorous shakes frees it
from the loose dust, while the whisk
broom 500 finishes the task. Q nick
cleaning paste for grease, paint, etc.,
may be procured at a trifing expense,
and should be kept where one can
sponge out the little spots as soon as
they are discerned. For this, use a
piece of black hose, for a white cloth
is liable to leave an enlarged smoky
place, where the lint penetrates the
cloth and it is difficult to dislodge.
Sometimes a skirt loses its stiffness
while yet unsoiled, the result of cheap
Innings, and excessive dampness. In
this case the lining should be dampened
and pressed out with hot irons, being
careful to leave no wrinkles upon the
right side, al often happens when the
goods and lining have not shrunken
alike. If the skirt is stiffened with
canvass, instead of haircloth, dampen
the lining profusely to the depth Of the
interlining, before it is ironed, which
will leave it equally as stiff as when
new. When the skirt is so much
soiled that the usual sponging has lit
tie effect, do not think it must be made
owe entirely, which means a large
amount of work. Instead rip off the
worn binding, loosen the goods from
the lining and interlining, remove all
collected lint, then brush the goods,
lining and interlining, until perfectly
free from dust. Sometimes spots
thought to be grease may be entirely
removed by rubbing the goods dry be-
tween the palms, the motion one uses
to wash clothing.
Be sure that every particle of dust
about the seams, as far as you can
reach, is removed. Then sponge the
goods on both sides for several inches
above the bottom, also the entire front
breadths. Make the canvas quite
damp, and iron. Then press the goods
upon the wrong side, for about six
inches from the bottom. This IA be
managed without ripping open the
seams. Turn the skirt, put it upon the
skirt board, sponge the lining with
clean water and iron, adding a crease
down the front breadth, a bit of par
donable deception, for it gives the
effect of new goods.
Trim off all worn places about the
bottom, even it all around and sew on
the new binding. Crush braid is now
considered the most serviceRble bind
ing, as only the brush portion wears
off, leaving the braid intact. When,
however, the lining and stifening are
much worn, in addition to the skirt
being soiled, it is best to rip it up,
wash the goods and make it over new
Innings, which are now so low priced
that none need go to the trouble of
washing, starching and mending the
old ones.-Annie Balcomb Wheeler, in

this declaration are not very close OBJ
servers OF American customs. But
then they say that two thirds of the
French school children bite their nails.
| wonder what proportion of ours do
the same thing. Watch the little folks
and break the habit before it has per-
manent foothold for even with grown
people there is hardly a habit, aside
from narcotics and alcoholism more
difficult to overcome than biting the
finger nails. 1t requires a strong men
tai effort and constant vigilance for.
when the habit is oncs formed one
does it unconsciously and is only re-
minded OF it when the nail is bitten to
the quick. Remedies are of no benefit
in most cases. The only way to stop
biting finger nails is to stop. You can
do it yourself but no body can make
you stop. 1t takes a year or two to
make the hand look even tolerably
we'll after the habit has been left off
even if you have bitten them just q
short while. The habit il long persisted
in ruins the shape of the fingers and
they can never be made to look as well
as those Of persons who permit their
nails to grow as they we're intended to.
Probably you console yourself with
the thought that gloves will help you
to conceal the effects; but my dear girl,
