SMALL POx PREVENTIVE
Description of the Use of Cider
Vinegar.

The following detailed account of the
use of cider vinegar for the cure of
smallpox was written by a Chicago
physician in 1898:
THE first knew of the preventive
was while living in Edgefield Tenn,
Opposite the city of Nashville), in 1871,
when there was an epidemic Of small
pOX- None of those who used the pre-
veutive then although exposed, even
in attending those who were sick with
the disease had smallpox Again, in the
year 1882 when the smallpox was prev
alent in WyandOtte, now Kansas City,
Kan. I was called to see a preachers
wife one Sunday morning and found
her all broken out with the eruption. A
number Of the members OF the church
and teachers in the Sunday school had
visited the lady that morning on their
way to the Sunday school The WO-
mans husband, the preacher, had also
gone to the church to attend the school
They had no idea what was the matter
with the woman and felt that some
thing must be done. remembered my
EdgefieId experience and determined
that it was my duty to go right to the
church as soon as 1 could make
change in my clothing. Arriving there
just as school was being dismissed
called upon every one to remain and
hear what 1 had to say. told them
of their exposure to their horror, and
what they must do to avoid taking the
smallpox, as they must have something
that would act more quickly and GER
tainly than vaccinations Every one of
them did as 1 directed and not one OF
them took the disease, nor did the
writer. I was called soon after to see
another woman who had the shot-like
formal lions under the skin preceding
the eruption. The preacher of that
WOman's church. with three of the sis
ters, We're present calling upon the WO-
man, as she was suffering very greatly
with the terrible aching pains usually
experienced by those VINO have the dis
ease. To their horror 1 told them that
the patient had the smallpox and that
every one of them was in danger of
taking it. I told them what to do. Not
one of those exposed took the disease
My remedy was used by nearly every
body in the neighbOrhOOd and not one
who used it took the disease. Again,
in the fall of 1889 my family and myself
with many others, were exposed to a
malignant case of black smallpox,
which 1 attended in a suburb of Chi
cago. All who were exposed used my
remedy as a preventive and every one
of US escaped.
THE remedy is pure apple or cider
vinegar 1t is eVapOrated in the sleep

either by placing it in a plate or bowl
or by saturating a cloth with it and

Another "Get Rich Quick" Concern
Raided by New York Police.

New York, Nov. 29.-The police last
night arrested Charles d. Hughes, AS
years old, said to be a get rich quick"
banker at his office, 90 Wall street. A
patrol wagon was sent to Hughes
office and it carried a load of books and
papers to police headquarters 1t is
said that since July, 1898, five hundred
complaints against Hughes have been
lodged with the police, one by Della
COoney, a servant, who said she lost
81, 400 through him another by a woman
who says she lost $500
The concern Hughes ran is called the
Hughes Investment company" man
named Packer figured as the president.
In April 1897, Charles D. Hughes was
said to be a partner in the open Board
of Brokers" a bucketshop closed by
the police. Mr.. Hughes came to New
York from Chicago. A dispatch from
Chicago gave the record in that city
of one Charles D. Hughes, who was
connected with a bucketshOp business
in that city for several years. This dis
patch added that the business was
broken up there and that Hughes was
operating on similar lines in this city.

MAY DIVIDE CUBA.
President Thinks of Appointing Two
Govern ors

New York. Nov. pa special to the
Herald from Washington, D. c., says:
It is learned that the president has
not ofnclalIy determined whether he
shall make General Wood governor of
the entire island or appoint him COVER
nor OF the eastern portion, placing Gen
eTaI Ludlow in charge of the western
naIr and determining himself all ques-
lions respecting affairs relating to the
entire island The latter plan COM
mends itself to the president, especial
~ IN view of pressure eXerted by
friends of General Ludlow to secure
recognition of his services Before
adopting it, however, he wishes to con-
suit with General Wood ana obtain his
views In any event General Wood 5
appointment, either as governor of the
entire island or of the eastern portion
Will not be announced until after con-
gress cOnvenes
The authorities say that in case a
divided control is decided upon, it will
be an easy matter for the Two officers
acting as governors to refer to Wash
1hgtOn all questions affecting the whole
island, and that the president can
promptly determine them and announce
his decision by cable.
In appointing civil governors at this
time the president ia guided by de-
sire to prepare the Cubans for indie
pendent administration. Home rule in
Cuba can certainly not be permitted
until after April 80, 1900, by which time
all SpaniardS remaining in the island
must have made declaration before
81 court of record of their decision to
preserve their allegiance to Spain. Fail
ure to make such declaration will mean
according to the treaty of peace, that
they have renowned such allegiance
and to have adopted the nationality of
Cuba.
Although the Cuban census will be
completed on Thursday, elections can
not occur until after April 30, in order
that all the persons entitled to a voice
in the affairs Of the island may cast
their vote. 1t IS understood that Gen
eral Wood viii discuss this feature of
Cuban affairs with the president.

CURE FOR FORGETFULNEss

IFrom the Country Gentleman
A successful business man said that
there were two things which he learned
when he was eighteen, and which were
ever afterward of great use to him
namely: Never to lose anything, and
never to forget anything"
An old lawyer sent the young man
with an important paper, giving him
definite instructions what to do with
it.
But inquired the young man, sup
pose that 1 should happen to lose it,
what shall I do then?'
You must not lose it," said the lax
yer, frowning.
4 don't mean to-" said the young
to p"
But I say you must not happen to.
I shall not make no provision for such
an occurrence You must not lose it"
This put a new train of thought into
the young mans mind. and he found
that if he was determined to do q
provision against every contingency
that he never lost anything.
He found this equally true about for
getting. If a certain matter of import
ance was to be remem bered, he pinned
it down on his mind, fastened it there
and made it stay. He used to declare:
When n man tells me that he for
got to do something, tell him he might
as well have said. I did not care
enough about your business to take the
trouble to think of 1t again.
O4Ce Adu an 1ulelllBeuI young man
in my employ who deemed it sufficient
excuse for having neglected an import
ant task to say, I forgot I told him
that would not answer; if he was suffi-
GENTLY interested he would be careful
to remember 1t was because he did
not care enough that he forgot. I drill
ed him with this truth.
HE worked for me three years, and
during the last year of the three he
was utterly changed in this respect. He
did not forget thing. His forgetting,
he found, had been a lazy and careless
habit of mind, and he cured it

LOSS OF HORSES

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 29.-The United
States transport Victoria, cavalry horse
dead now reaches nearly ninety. The

it will continue until it shall have in
cluded one-fourth of the original ship

capped injury. Those wholly sound viii
not number a score. Many had their
necks broken. others were battered,
bruised and shocked to death while
twenty-five or thirty perhaps sustained
limb fractures rendering it necessary to
shoot them.

Making Money on the Side.
From the London NALL


AS the topic of the remuneration of
the clergy is very much to the fore just
now, and is even being made the sub
ject OF possible legislation, it will
doubtless be interesting to mention a
few instances IN which the reverend
gentlemen have not waited for parlia-
mentary Interference, but set about in
creasing their slender incomes in their
own way.
Of course the most popular form
their efforts take it usually that of con-
tTiEutiOns to various magazines and it
is safe to say that there are dozens, II
nOt hundreds, of the clergy who earn an
appreciate amount in this way. The
writing and composing of hymns is also
a method closely allied to the foregoing.
One rector in Norfolk figures as a
nurseryman in his spare time, his spe-
ciaIty being roses, and many visitors to
the Breads will doubtless remember the
sight his garden affords from the river
in Towering time. That he finds it
yields profit as well as pleasure is evil
denced by the fact that he spends near
" 800 per annum simply to advertise
his various roses and other plants for
sale. Another cleric, whose living is in
the country of Nottingham. also let's
his supplementary pecuniSry efforts
run in the direction Of horticulture,
his particular fancy being zcnaI pelar-
goniums and geraniums, which are of
firSt-rate quality
Although not sold under his name, a
certain paste for rejuven4tirg silk
England minister, who directs a snug
little business in it through the med
ium of a relation, who poses as a pro-
prietOr. Down in Surrey one of the
cloth employs his spare time in rearing
prize strains of poultry, to which he has
lately added canaries as a source of
further profit. In the southwestern
counties, which are rich in minerals,
small collections of geological speci-
mems are formed, named and sold by
clergymen to students who are in want
of such things. As much of this
business is done through the medium
of advertisement the cleric suffers no
loss of prestige If he does not let his
name appear. Bee farming was taken
up by a clergyman in Essex, but up to
the present does not appear to have
been a particular success.
It will be seen that it is necessary to
live in the country to carry out most
of these schemes effectively For the
overworked underpaid city curate there
seems to be nothing that he can turn
his attention to.

BARBARIC JEWELRY.
[From the Philadelphia INQUIRER !

lFrom the Philadelphia Inquirer
Barbaric jewels are now the rage.
Bracelets and ankIets a S burCensOme in
appearances as shackles and heavily
linked chains are accepted as the lat
est mode in jewelry by Well-gOWned
women. The fad was recently intro
duced in Paris, where massive brace
let's We're worn exclusively on the an
kles with the short bicycle skirts that
were there fashionable. When they
were imported to this country it was
naturally thought they We're to be
worn on the wrists, but the public eye
IS at last being opened, however, by
two New York women who have just
returned from Paris and who wear
them about the ankle or just at the top
of the boot when donned in their
sporting clothes.
1t is said on good authority that sew
eral other women have already been
measured for them. The most beautiful
ones are undoubtedly those that are
enameled or the dull gold ones that are
studded with uncut stones But one is
admissible, and it should be worn on
the left foot.
This tendency for massive, barbaric
jewelry is also noticed in the bands of
gold Of exquisite Etruscan workman
ship which are worn low on the fore
head with dinner or evening gowns and
in the heavy chains that fall to the
knees after being wrapped several times
around the throat. Suspended at the
end of them there is often a small, sin
gle eyeSglaSS, a diminutive fan or an
OQQ little note DOOR, Inc revival OF this
fashion of wearing chains it is inter
esting to reflect, originated in Rome at
a fashionable bazaar for the benefit of
a convent, when three long chains of
cut jets were strung by the nuns and
offered for sale.
They were bought by two New York
women and one French woman. After
ward a large demand for them was
made in Paris, and the inv entive city
was soon taxing its powers to present
them in numerous forms and styles.
Those made of gun metal with pearls at
regular intervals are now regarded as
one of the newest and best styles to
wear.
At present it is also a fad to collect
semi precious stones, such as anne
thysts, aquamarines, moonstones, to-
PAGES, Mexican Opals and others, to
have set in long gold chain. Ere
quently they can be picked up very
cheaply at old curio shops. About thirty
of them are necessary to fill in properly
a chain of moderate length. Besides the
cost of the chain and the stones, at
least 81 or 81 apiece must be allowed
for the setting of them. The various
sizes, shape and color of the stones
make the chain very interesting.
