Many have been the specifics offered to
the victims Of pulmonary consumption. and
just as many have been the d~isappoint-
ments. Until the bacteriologist shall be
able TO produce cultures that will protect
mankind from the assaults of the germ of
tuberculosis, or until some antagonistic
microscopic creature can be used to destroy
the disease germ, we shall have to depend
on methods of treatment which may pre-
vent the full development of the malady
or which may mitigate the virulence and
postpone the fatal termination of the at
tack. The best of the remedial measures
are life In the open air in a warm and dry
climate, nourishing food and such drugs as
will give relief to certain troublesome
symptoms.
An eminent Vienna physician, Professor
Hof. announced before a society Of medical
men recently that he had met with remark
able success IN treating tuberculosis with a
form of arsenic and other drugs. He has
tested his remedy in two hundred cases
among the patients having been persons
in all walks Of life-and he positively af-
firms that the treatment will cure mild
cases in two months and effect a great i'm
provement even in advanced cases. Fol the

AN OLD
The Stage Has Been an object Of
Criticism Always.
Boston Transcript.

BOSTON ITduSCIlpt.
The ~stereotyped lament over the degen-
eracy of the stage has been heard IN every
epoch and throughout every epoch since
there was any stage capable OF degenerat-
ing. II rang through the streets of Athens
in the time of A~ristophaneS; II was heard
in the days when the Greek and Roman
m poets were doing their mightiest.
IL began with the beginnings OF the English
drama, and from Shakespeare 70 Dryden,
from Dryden TO Sheridan, from Sheridan TO
Pinero. il resounded necessarily. There
were times when its voice was SO loud and
its accusations so well founded that it
equipped censor. But, on the whole, the
cry of degeneracy has always been a cry
which came far of the mark, for the evils
II frequently denounced as the worst ever
known could be readily recalled as feat
ures of many a preceding epoch.
Our own day is no exception, and we are
constantly hearing the familiar cry on all
sides. But in what respect is the stage de-
generate? 1t is heterogeneous. But that is
not degeneracy. IL includes all forms of
dramatic art, from the highest to the .low-
est. But that is not degeneracy. 1t is
immoral TO a certain extent, and must al
ways be as long as it remains a reflex of
human existence. But even hat is not de-
generacy. All in all, a survey of the
dramatic times. not from the hashy bill
boards, which make our streets a daily
horror, but from a thorough study of the
stage itself, will reveal, We are sure, a con.
dition equal to that of any era during the
present century, anu inueeu' lar superior
in the intellectual power or our dramatists
and our actors to any period within the
past fifty years.
IL is needless TO go over the ground
again. He that runs may read even now
of great Shakspearian acting. of modern
comedies and romantic dramas of the high
est rank, of acting which we are not
ashamed to place beside the acting OF any
bygone era. We do not write tragedy non
blank verse nowadays. That Is our loss.
But each age has its own natural demands,
and the times must be granted these de-
mandS.

This has been one Of the best fur seasons
Indianapolis has ever known, and women
who have purchased new furs are anxious
that cold weather should come so they
can revel in their warmth and beauty.
One of the stores shows a beautiful Rus
sian sable scarf. with just a CLINT of gray,
giving a frosty effect, and priced at 81, O00.
Another beautiful sable scarf was sold to
an Indianapolis woman recently at the
above price. This winter there is a great
demand. for the long, shaggy furs. This
charming fashion in fur is made most often
from the fox skin, which is even more
fashionable this year than last, and the
natural variety is increased by several
blendings. There is the silver sable, the
blended brown, and this season the newest
is the sable fox. a blending of the real red
fox. or course, there is no fur that is finer
than the sable, the softest and most beau
tiful Of furs, but also the most costly,
while the sable fox is about one-tenth the
price. Fox furs are brought from every
nation of the globe this season, the Japan
csc fox being one Of the most popular.
Lynx furs are known as fox furs also. The
Arctic fox furs are perfectly white and
fluffy and sell for about 500 a set. Little
white points or tips, when not grown natur-
ally in the dark furs Of this season, are
sewed in, the effect is so fashionable and
there is such a demand for it. The combi-
nation Of furs is made a strong point this
season and the capes and coats show chin
chilla with trimmings of silver lynx or
brown ~foxtails, brown marten. another dyed
fur with long fischer tails. seal with mink,
Persian lamb with lynx or broad-tail and
brown marten.

A Visit to the Empress Dowascr

Frank G. Carpenter, VINO IS now in the
East, sends to the Saturday Evening Post
a long article about the Empress Dswager
and China. his facts having been gathered
only a few days before the present troubles
broke out. Two years ago the Empre SIS
Dowager set aside all precedents and re-
ceived the ladies OF the foreign lesa tioEs
at Pelain. One who was present told Mr..
Carpenter about it. Among otaer things
she said:
Her Majesty was dressed in pale yell
low silk gown. beautifully embroidered with
flowers and dragons OF the same color She
wore the he:adiress commonly worn by
elderly Chinese women, her hair being fast
enad in a knot at the back just below the
crow, the front OF the head and a part of
the forehead being concealed by silk
hand heavily embroidered with pearls OF
large size.
II was struck with Her A1ajesty's youth
ful awearance She was sixty-four. but
she looked ten years younger. Her face
was plump and free from wrinkles. She
had a high forehead. elongated perhaps by
the custom OF the Chinese ladies' OF pulling
out the hairs at the edge OF the forehead
with ,yeeze-s Size had q strong race and
in youth must have been very pretty. Dur
ing the audience she frequently smiled.
ana could see no signs OF that cruelty
with which she has been charged

the best representative Of her Puritan
ancestors. Always with her husband,
either at home. on the platform or In
the gallery o; the House Of Commons, she
has invested her political life with
charm and sentiment that are quite
unique, and while keenly interested In
every question. she has never vu!garized
her political ideals. or descended to the
lower arena into which some English wo-
men degrade their political sympathies.
The early death OF Lord Randolph
Churchill while on the threshold of the
highest political position in this country
deprived Lady Randolph of the position
which she must eventually have occupied.
for she at enc moment seemed bound to
become the wife of the future Prime Min
lister of England. Never was the promise
of a life SO bIig,1tec as his. and the malady
which 50 .rsidlously undermined his life
was one of the most unerring and ftaal.
1.-The influence of American women on
English society is one which grows no
weaker, and women like Mrs. Chamber
lain and Lady Harcourt soften the ex-
crescences and peculiarities which often
strike us as un-English.
