LIGHT AS CURE FOR MEASLES.
Experiments show That Sunabine
VIII Alleviate the Severity
of Disease.

Recent experiments indicate that the
sun may be a potent remedial agent in
the case of persons attacked with
smallpox, scarla tina and measles. These
experiments were made by DR.. Finsen,
of Copenhagen, and DR.. Chatiniere, OF
st. Mande, and so novel were they that
they have aroused good deal OF DIS
cussion among the members of the
Academy of Medicine in Paris, says the
New York Herald.
DR. Chatiniere a short time ago treat
ed 12 children who had measles accord
ing to his new method, which is scien-
titically known as phototherapie. Red
light was the only cure which he used,
and this ne made serviceable in the fol-
lowing manner: On the windows of
the sick room he hung red curtains and
on the table near each bed he placed
lamp which gave forth red light. He
acted thus because he felt satisfied
that the irritation Of the skin in cases
of measles is due to the chemical rays
of the solar spectrum, or, in other
words, to the ultra violet rays, and not
to the so-called caloric or heat rays. Ii
this were not so how account for the
| fact that the pustules and scars are es-
pecially deep and marked on the face
and hands. which are the very parts of
| the body that are most exposed to the
solar rays? The result showed that he
had not erred in arriving at this con-
clusion. His little patients rapidly re-
! froit,oA +hni,. hoal+h ba inf, hot
lies in red curtains and red lamps is
being eXtolled by many physicians.
| Impressed, like DR.. Chatiniere, by
the fact that the influence of the solar
rays is especially manifested on the
face and hands of patients, DR.. Finsen
conceived the idea of subjecting per-
sons suffering from smallpox to the in
fuence of ultraviolet rays, which
reached them after the light had been
filtered through thick red curtains.
The result was that the little vesicles
or bladders gradually disappeared and
the patients did not suffer from the
customary fever and, furthermore,
were not pockmarked. The ultraviolet
rays, indeed, in the case of these pa
TENTS produced the same effect as the
red light in that of DR.. Chatiniere's,
the most notable token of their efficacy
being the absence of fever and the rest
iessness and the gradual disappear
ane of the eruptions before coming to
maturity. 1t was also noticed that the
rays had marked effect on the mala-
dies in so far as they affected the bron-
chial tubes.
DR.. Finsen's method of cure has been
introduced into France by DIR. Larat
and is being used not only in cases OF
smallpox but also in cases of certain
forms of skin diseases.

An Omission.

Chloe, a young negro house servant
in an Atlanta family, had asked per-
mission to attend the wedding of one
of her friends. This permission hav-
ing been granted, Chloe set forth ar
rayed like unto a combination of Solo
mon and glory and the lilies of the field.
The next day her mistress said TO her:
"Well, Chloe, how did the wedding
go off"
''Oh, la, missus, it was de grandest
weddin' l ever saw! 1t was jess lubly!
Oh, yo' jess ought to oh seen de fiowahs

An expression of infinite disgust

HOW TO DRESS WELL.
WOman's Identity Should Not BE
Sacrificed to the Taste of
the Dressmuker.

If woman is afraid to decide about
her own style, let her get an artist
to tell her what it is. and what she
can wear to the best advantage, says
the Ledger Monthly.
Having ascertained her style and
the colors she should wear, then she
should never deviate from them. She
must strengthen herself to ignore
wonderful bargains in the wrong
styles and colors, and prepare herself
even to endure a certain amount of
monotony in her wardrobe. But her
reward lies in being invariably we'll
dressed and in having an air never
to be acquired by sinking ones iden-
tity in the nondescript taste of the
average dressmaker.
A business woman is wise to select
some one standard. color that best
suits her-say brown, or navy blue,
or gray-and then, having bought the
principal garments in this tone, to
buy all others in harmony with it.
1t affords a woman wonderful OPP
portunity to appear smartly dressed
on lne ledSU possible outlay. ANU IL
is remarkable how many pretty varia-
tons can be found to prevent any one
color scheme growing tiresome.
1t is an excellent plan to begin this
simple method of good dressing when
girls are quite young. 1t cultivates
their taste to very great degree and
enables them, as they grow up, to
dress well with but little thought or
money.
What a wise precaution it would be
to give every girl her own pin-money,
however little, and teach her to be
self-reliant, for it is a sad fact that it
is usually the woman who has the
least ability to dress well who thinks
most about her clothes, always strug-
Cling for effects, and doomed to fail
| ure; while the woman or girl who I'M
derstands herself, her style, color and
the courageous art of selective shop
ping can get the largest returns for
| her time and; trouble.
The consciousness of looking well
is pretty sure to bring repose of mind
| and manner-an attitude in which a
| woman is best calculated to meet the
social and business world at her best.

Served Him Right.

He carefully prepared the small gar
den plot. while his wife, deeply inter-
ested in his labor, stood watching him.
After he had put in the seeds and
smoothed over the bed, his wife took
his arm to accompany him to the house,
and on the way she asked:
"When will the seeds come up,
John?'
Laying his hand caressingly on her
shoulders. the smart man said:
81 don't expect them to come up at
all, my dear"
you don't!" she explained. Then
why have you gone to all that trouble? ~
With smile that springs from SUI
perior knowledge he answered.: THE
seeds won't come up, but the plants
and flowers will, by and by"
Yet he was wrong; for his neigh
boris hens got into his garden, and the
seeds did come up.-Collier's Weekly.

Cure for SaIIOv Skin.

A sallow skin is usually caused by
torpid liver. Regulate the diet and
bodily habits. The following prepara-
ton, which is as wholesome as refresh
ing, will rid the system of the cause
of sallowness: Take one-half ounce
each of spruce, hemlock and sarsa-
parilla bark, dandelion, burdock and
yellow dock in one gallon of water;
boil half an hour. Strain while hot,
and add ten drops of oil of spruce and
sassafras. Stir well. When cold. add
half pound of brown sugar and half
cup of yeast. Let the mixture stand
- hours in tightly covered jar, then
bottle for use. 1t can be used freely
as an iced drink in warm weather.

! guess we can get whole drove OF
them now. Come, Hannah. let's leave
this letter till tomorrow; it's time we
were abed"
On the following day the rusty pen
was again brought into use, and an
other letter of grabbed characters
found its way to the lawyers office,
accepting his terms, And the waiting
time began.
1t is curious to note what effect even
the proba bility of wealth has on the
average mind. Ezra Hampton was
above the average, so he pursued the
even tenor of his way. and performed
his duties as faithfully as though
"Cnkle Zeke's" thousands had never
been heard of.
Not so his wife Hannah; mindful of
her coming greatness, it was impossi-
BILE for her not to show it. She took
on a superior tone with her neighbors,
and limited at coming changes: for
so repeatedly had Ezra charged her
to keep the good news a secret until
they surely knew the result that she
dare not enlarge on it as she would
have liked.
Why should she buy round steak
when soon unlimited wealth would be
hers? So she ordered choice bits with
a wise nod of her head and remark
that her money was as good as other
folks.
The people of her little world won
dered why Hanna Hampton acted so
important. and Ezra mildly remon-
strated, assuring her a bird in the hand
was worth two in the bush. But she
silenced him by saying that did not
mean when you was going to get the
whole bush. too.
Days had grown int o weeks and weeks
| into months when the decisive answer
| came. Again Mrs. Hampton leaned over
| her husbands shoulder, with joyous
anticipations of the wealth socn to be
| theirs. But the words were hard to
comprehend.
There was little doubt that the prop
erty really belonged to them, but so
many papers were missing and the rec
ords had been so neglected that no
proof could be brought. Almost end
less litigation would probably be the
result of any effort to reclaim the
land. So it would perhaps be as well to
drop the matter.
In these researches, however, they
had made another discovery. Ezekiel
II. Hampton had been a colonel in the
revolutionary army and had been en-
rolled as member of the Original Off
GERS, a society composed of officers
who had served in that war. Each
member paid certain amount to per
petuate the association. Membership

Hord which was against them and the
teacher who complied with the request.

Miss Hord, as we'll as to the county
