Cleanliness.


We have frequently insisted upon
the necessity for absolute cleanli-
ness, in favor of which too much
cannot be said. Cleanliness covers
a large part of sanitary labor.
Cleanliness that is purity of air,
cleanliness that is purity of water,
cleanliness in and about the house,
OF the person, of dress, of food and
feeding, in work, in habits of indi-
vidual man and woman, cleanliness
of life and conversation, purity of
life, temperance-and by the latter
we mean moderation-all these are
in man power. The clean man or
woman will, other things being
equal, be the healthy one Modern
knowledge of bacteria has given
enormous impetus to cleanliness in
medicine. Surgeons now disinfect
their instruments more carefully
than ever, so as not to have them
carry infection to their PATIENTS

GUARDING AGAINST FRAUD.

How London Bankers Lessen the
Chances For Embezzlement.
every few people know that there are
great and increasing number of firms
in this country-banking firms especial.
ly-who make an inflexible rule that
all employees, whether they be man
agerial heads or mere junior clerks,
must take an annual holiday
The speaker was one of the best
<nown accountants in London, and he
continued: "The reason is that all great
employers now realize that most long
continued cases Of embezzlement and
breach of trust are only, as rule, dis
covered through the offender being COM
PEELED, through illness or some other
cause, to leave his books for time.
Nearly all defaulting bank managers
are trapped through their enforced abb
sence, aud thus it has begun to be the
rule for employers to insist that serv.
ants who have the manipulation of
books and money must go away. Hun
dreds OF sets Of books come into nv
hands and those of other accountants in
this way, and could tell you of many
cases where two or more clerks, who
could in their ordinary work play into
each others hands, are sent holiday
making at the same time.
Another fact of the Same kind that
is little known is that many employers
make rule of having their employees
photographed very plainly in groups
every year or two-on some occasion of
festivity that is made the exouse-so
that the firm always possess valuable
means of Identification in case of any
man absconding. "-Pearson's Weekly

New YORK, Jan. 10.-By a head-e

on the Lehigh Valley railroad at We,

Two UNIDENTIFIED WOMEN
Three OF the injured died during the
night.
West Dunellen is three miles from
Bound Brook and about 80 miles from
New York City. At the spot where the
disaster occurred there is sharp curve in
the Lehigh Valley tracks and steep cut
ting, but the accident was due in the
first place to some terrible mistake in
train orders and in the second place to
another accident that occurred at Bound
Brook earlier in the day The scenes
which accompanied the collision, the
sufferings Of the injured and the panic
that reigned among the 400 passengers
were well nigh indescribable. The
blood stained wreck of tangled and
twisted iron and wood bore witness to
the truth of the general verdict of rail-
road men that this was one of the worst
collisions in recent years.

Of my plan, and felt that now, at any
rate, we had advanced one step toward

The announcement of the identity of
the murdered Harriet Staples with the
missing daughter Of the Duke of Lundy
increased thousandfold the interest of
the public, for the case was now trans

when it was further known that the
