Recent experiments indicate that the
sun may be a potent remedial agent In
the case of persons attcked with small
periments 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.
Dr. Chatiniere a short time ago treat
ed twelve children, who had measles,
according to this new method, which Is
scientifically known as phototheraple.
Red light was the only cure which he
used, and this he made seryiceaDle IN
the following manner: On the Win
dows of the sick-rooms he hung red
curtains, and on the table, near each
bed, he placed lamp which gave forth
a 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 ultraviolet rays,
and not to the so-called calOric or heat
rays. If this were not so, how account
for the fact that the pustules and scars
are especially 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
conclusion. His little patients rapidly
regained their health, and the virtue
that lies in red curtains and red lamps
is being extolled by many physicians.
Impressed, like DIR. Chatiniere, by the
fact that the influence of the solar
faces 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 curtins.
The result was that the little vesicles
or bladders gradually disappeared, and
the patients did not suffer from the GUS
tomary fever, and, furthermore, were
not pockmarked. The ultraviolet rays,
indeed, in the case of these patients
produced practically the same effect as
the red light in that of DR.. Chatiniere's
the most notable tokens of their eff
cacy being the absence of fever and
restlessness, and the gradual disappear
ance of the eruptions before coming
to maturity. 1t was also noticed that
the rays had marked effect on the
maladies in so far as they affected the
bronchial tubes.
DIR. Finsen's method of cure has been
introduced into France by DR.. Larat,
and is being used not only in cases of
smallpox, but also in cases of certain
forms of skin diseases.

Free Ice Fountains.

The Woman's Auxiliary of the
Church Tenn perance society, in New
York, supports l2 free ice water foun-
tains in the tenement house districts.
They are in operation from May to
October /. and many letters have been
received telling of the constant stream
of children with pitchers, draymen
and others who have enjoyed them
The great increase this season in the
price of ice makes it prohibitory for the
poor. and therefore the fountains will
prove even more of blessing than
heretofore. 1t costs 5000 to erect one
of these fountains, and the society de-
sires to extend the system.

Eggs have kept up we'll in prices
this year and considering the fact that
fowls are almost self supporting in sum-
mer, eggs are almost clear profit COM
pared with their cost. 1t is probable
that when poultry receives as much
attention as other stock more fowls
will be regarded as invaluable adj
juncts to farming especially as eggs sell
for cash and are produced every month
of the year.

The Rights of Newsboys.

The judgment comes from the district
court at the national capital that the
sale of newspapers on the streets is
legitimate business, and that newsboys
have right to enter street cars and sell
papers to passengers provided they be-
have themselves and leave the car
when their business is finished. One
newsboy was forcibly elected from a
car in Washington some time ago and
had leg crushed by car running on
the other track. He has just obtained
anaward of $1,000 damages from jury
under instructions to the above effect
by the judge.

HOW TO TALK INTERESTINGLY.
Sincerity, Sim plicity and Sympathy the
three Graces of Conversation.

Sincerity, Sim plicity and Sympathy the
Three Graces of fCouversation.
Entertaining conversation is not
alone dependent upon well-stored
mind, a ready wit or broad culture" !"
writes Mrs. Burton Kingsland in the
Ladies' Home Journal sit lays under
contribution qualities of heart as well
as head, and should reveal sincerity,
sympathy and simplicity. We must
feel an interest In our subject before
we can inspire it, and enthusiasm is
contagious when it is sincere. 1t
gives animation to the face, vivacity
to the manner. and has thought
compelling power that aids fuency of
expression. Sympathy and adapta-
biiity are created in measure by the
desire to please. but one must be SEN
sitive to the mood of ones audience
and quick to perceive when some one
else wishes to speak. There are talk
ers who metaphorically take the bit
between their teeth and run away with
a subject. When they finally cease no
one has anything to say, despairing of
opportunity. Without simplicity no
conversation has charm. The moment
we perceive that it Is labored, or that
the speaker seems to calculate the ef-
feet Of his words. If unnecessary men,
ton Is made of desirable acquain-
tances or there is display of attain
ments or mock-innocent vaunting Of
advantages-that moment do we feel
only contempt for the affectation and
pretense. Truth has a marvellous pow
er Of making itself felt, in spite of what
Is said Self-consciousness is but ego
tism under less severe name, and
self must be forgotten before we can
add to our speech the grace and dig
nifty Of simplicity"

Beware of the Too Liberal Use ofsaIt.

Beware of the Too Liberal Use of Salt
Salt draws the juices from beef in
corning, toughens the fiber, makes it
very indigestible and less nutritious.
On cucumbers it draws out the water,
toughens the fiber and renders them
very indigestible. Salt acts in exactly
the same way on fish as on meat There
are two ways of considering these
changes. l would hardly say that salt
destroys the food value, although it
robs the flesh Of part of its food value
by making 1t less digestible.-Mrs. s. T.
Rorer, in Ladies' Home Journal.

Three out of five of his fellow workmen
