The uses and abuses of the napkin at the
table are now engrossing the attention Of
our friends in journalistic circles in New
York. One believer in good old customs
contends that the napkin should be tuck
ed under the chin in order to prevent the
''splashing of soup and other spoon VIC
tuals." To this an editorial Mrs Sherwood
heatedly replies that 1.-The napkin is intend
ed not TO protect the clothes against splash
lngs; its functions are confined to the lips
and their appurtenances." Really this is the
most important question that has arisen to
bother the very best people since New York
society decided that IL is proper TO be d.
vorced in the afternoon and to remarry in
the evening We believe that il is society's
first duty to protect its clothes. and with
this understanding we may see how import
ant 1t is for both gentlemen and ladies that
the napkin shall be tucked in at the chin.
particularly after the wine has begun to

difficulty: What shall be done in the case
OF the ladies who wear no clothes-that is
to say, whose raiment begins a few inches
more or less above the waist line? Are they
exempt from the tucking-in provision? Ger
talnly not. Soup and other spoon victuals
are Just as inimical to the powdering and
enameling of the flesh as to linen and silk
fabrics, and as it is impossible for most
women to tuck their napkins in their coll
lar oones-there are exceptions in the very

pings from the spoons and the glasses We
cannot agree with our contemporary that
the napkins functions ''are confined to the
lips. On the contrary. the very best peo-
PIE or COOK county consider Ii the height of
vulgarity to raise the napkin from the lap
where itsis placed to catch little bones and
pieces OF meat and vegetables which slip
from the fork on the way to the dining
room rug courteous guest always con-
siders his host. and we are told that the
custom of not folding the napkin on leaving
the table arose from the awkwardness ex-

VARICOSE VEINS.
Some Measures of Relief for This Dis.
agreeable MaIady.
From Youths Companion

hIoLn 1outAS SoHpdhlon
According to those wise men who delight
to remind us on every occasion of mans
lowly origin, varicose veins are among
the penalties We have to pay for standing
on our hind legs instead of walking on all
fours like the other animals. 1t is chiefly,
they say, the pressure of the very high
column of blood upon the comparatively
thin walls of the veins that causes them
to become dilated or .'varicose."
There are other causes, however that
no doubt contribute to the establishment
of this unpleasant affection. The veins of
the legs are SO far from the heart that
the blood in them is comparatively little
influenced by either the pushing or the
suction force of the hearts contraction
The contraction of the muscles of the
legs. also, while in some cases 1t favors
the emptying of the veins, in others con-
strictS them, and dams back the blood.
The constructing action of the garter natur-
ally favors the occurrence of varicose veins,
although, cUriously enough the trouble is
more common in men than in women.
Finally, the enlargement of the veins
may be favored by a general loss of tone
In the system; the muscles and all the
fieshy parts become fiabby and do not
support the veins as they should, and the
walls of the veins themselves participate in
the general relaxation and dilate.
The discomfort caused by varicose veins
is often very severe. The limb feels heavy
and distended, and there is a more or less
constant, dull ache, amounting sometimes
to actual pain of burning character.
Often in neglected cases, or after the trou-
BILE has lasted for a long time, ulcers form
on the legs, which are very difficult to
heal More rarely greatly distended vein
may rupture, forming purpiish discoiora-
ton beneath the skin, or If the skin has
become thinned 1t also may break and a
severe hemorrhage results.
There Is no actual cure for w 'cose veins
except q surgical operation, Mich is sell
dom desirable, and we must be contented
usually with such relief as can be had by
supporting the dilated veins by means OF
an elastic stocking This should be put on
Immediately on rising in the morning and
worn throughout the day.

His Hair turned Black.

There have been several instances of
mans hair turning from white to
black. One of the most notable perhaps
was that of an engineer in the fire de-
partment of Louisville. His age was
60, and he was ON duty during a ire
mendous fire for / ) consecutive hours.
The spray was constantly flying from
the hose, and he became, in consequence
of the lowness of temperature of the
atmosphere, covered from head to foot
with ice. He wore a skullcap and a
helmet ON the tep of that, so that his
head was the warmest part of his body
and not at all exposed, though his eye
brows and whiskers became wet and
were frozen stiff. The afternoon after
the exposure his hair, which had be-
come gray eight years before and had
for three years been white, turned per-
fectly black. Louisville Post.

Is 1t Right for an Editor to Recommend
Patent Medicines?

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard, n. c.
1t may be a question whether the
editor of a newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the vari-
Gus proprietary medicines which
flood the market, yet as a preventive
OF suffering we feel it a duty to say a
good word for hamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We
have known and used this medicine
in our family for 20 years and have
always found it reliable. In many
cases dose of this remedy would
save hours of suffering while a physi-
clan is awaited. We do not believe in
depending implicitly on any medicine
for cure, but we do believe that if a
bottle of Chamberlain's Diarrhoea
Remedy were kept on hand and adj
ministered 1T the inception of an at
tack much suffering might be
avoided and in very many cases the
presence of physician would not be
required. At least this has been our
experience during the past 20 years.

CHARLES INFAMY.
The Brute's Appalling Cruelty to His

There is a certain Chicago bride who

sound of sobbing and weeping outside

..But what did Charlie do-the
wretch inquired the mother. ready
to blame the husband on general prin-
ciples. To this question. however, the
bride returned no answer save bitter
weeping. Then the mother, feeling that
the case was beyond her, administered
nerve restorative and awoke the
brides father.
