A Remarkable Tribute of Resnaot.


 Mrs. Julia Ward Howe received a remarkable tribute of respect a few days ago at gathering of Unitarian women in All Souls church. New York Mrs. Howe. so years old, but still in her prime in wit and charm, grew tired before her speech was finished, and was unable to pitch her voice so that the women in the rear could hear Can Mrs. Howe raise her yoice?" came call from the back. "No,e re- piled Mrs. Howe, frankly. T saiG yes terday I should not kill myself, even for this august body. You cant ex- pect an old lady of 50 to explode in one gigantic effort. There was a ripple ot laughter at this. and then the women in the back seats rose, making their way toward the front, where seats and platform were already crowded They deliberately sat down on the Aoor. where they stayed throughout Mrs. Howe's address. Gray-haired women mingled with young girls in this humble position. Mrs. Howes ad- dress was on 9Yhe Progress of the Century in Manners There was q general cali for Mrs. Howe to reeite sIhe Battle Hymn of the Republic. which sue did amid great applause.

An incident with Complications Just
 Little Out of the Usual.

 Little Out of the Usual.
 "It always disturbs me-" aaid Mir Ellington. Ito see a man oH the ele- vated road offer his seat to a woman when he is about to get off; he has perhaps let her stand in front of hm to give up his seat anyway he makes a show of giving it to her. a curious exhibition of about threo-qtfr ters con ceit and the rest cheek Dsually the woman pays no attention to this man; she takes the seat without thanks without taking any notice of the man whatever. But occasionally there is variation of this incident Sitting in an end corner seat, by the door, was a tired man, who, in a crowded car had kapt his seat seemingly because h3 thought it was right that he should if he had thought it out at all-but who now when he was about to leave. wanted to have the right person get the seat he was leaving. With this idea in his mind, and not with any com ceit of gallantry, he, when he had risen. touched the sleeve of a young woman who had been standing by the door on the other side of the car op posite to him, to indicate to her that here was q seat. He was slow about this, with the slowness of one tired. or unaccustomed to asserting himself. and while he was stepping forward small boy who had been standing by the door slid in back of him with boy ish ceierity and took the seat, And he kept it.'i-New York Sun.

BATHING IN ELECTRO LIGHT.
Painful Ailments Quickly Banished by
 the Heat Rays.

Painful Ailments Quickly Banished oy
 the Heat Rays.
 II has been found that there are many painful ailments which, when acted upon by electric heat and light rays. are completely banished from the sufferers body, says Pearsonss Maga- zine. Strong electric light is thrown onto the seat of suffering; the patient basks in a bath of light and heat, ex- perieneing nothing but pleasant sensa- tions. and, in most eases, an immediate and comforting sense of relief from pain. Men and women who for years have lost control of their limbs and who have unavailingly tried every known cure, have arisen after a course of eleetric=heat baths and walked with perfect freedom. The appaSatus which enables patients to bathe in electric light is extremely simple. To an ad- unstable stand are fitted two large cop per or nickel plated reaeetors, which can be moved in any direction Ii patient is lying in bed refeetors are placed on either side, adjusted to the exact position for locating the rays where desired On the refteeting sur faces are the electric lamps which ra- diate the luminous heat rays. The heat may be regulated by varying the dis tanoe of the reheetors, or the number of lamps, or by means of special regulator which controls the electric current. Those parts of the body, such as the armpits or shoulders, which it would be Impossible to treat locally with other arrangements, are easily dealt with by the new system. When the patient is in the right position and Is comfortably settled Che may be fully clothed, or covered with blankets, without affecting the power of the rays), the current is turned on and heat and light of considerable intensity are immediately produced. In few moments tho thermometer will register 300 degrees Fahrenheit. l have seen patients chatting cheerfulIy and ex- perieneing no inconvenience, while an affected limb has been exposed to heat rays at temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit, It might be supposed that such a heat as this would roast a limb. Undoubtedly there would be evil re- suits were 1t not for the important fact that dry heat is employed. which evaporates precipitation as soon as 1t appears on the body.
