SOLDIERS PAROLE.
Ia Understood "a q Purely Voluntary
Contract Duri1C Active
Service.

Parole, it must be understood, Ia
a purely voluntary compact The cap
tor is not obliged to offer to parole
his prisoner-the prisoner Is not
obliged, and cannot be compelled, to
give his parole.
If he does so, he will probably be
released on pledging his word not to
serve during the existing war. Il he
refuses he will remain captive until
the war is over or until he can make
his escape.
The usual parole pledge extends
only to active service against the en-
envy. A prisoner released on parole
Is not breaking his contract if he
drills recruits, euells civil commo-
tions or fights other enemies.
A soldier taken prisoner has no au-
thority to pledge himself never to
serve against a particular enemy. Ee
cannot throw off thus lightly the duty
he owes his sovereign or country, and
if he make any pledge it must be con-
fined to limited time.
Moreover, if prisoner should make
pledge not approved by his own gov
ernnent, he ID bound to return and
surrender himself to the enemy.
In the British army a soldier can
only give his parole through a COM
missioned officer. Even noncomnis-
stoned officer or en- officer Of inferior
rank cannot give parole for himself
or for his me9 Without permission
from his commanding officer.
The United States authorities, by
the way, give greater liberty to parole
than is the case with the British army.
A captured prisoner who has vio-
lated his parole may be punished with
death.

LIGHT AS CURE FOR MEASLES.
Experiments Show Thar sohSh'H'
VIII Alleviate the severity
Of Disease.

Recent experiments indicate thatthe
sun may be q potent remedial agent IN
the case of persons attacked win
smallpox, scarlat tina anc measles. Ihese
experiments were made by DR.. Finsen'
of Copenhagen, and DR.. Chatiniere, OF
ST. ManGe, and SO novel were they that
they have aroused a good deal Of dis
cussion among the members OF the
Academy OF Medicine in Paris, says the
New York Herald.
Dr. Chatiniere short time ago treat
ed 70 children who had measles accord
ing to his new method, which is sclen-
tifcally known as phototherapie. Red
light was the only cure which he used,
and this he made serriceable 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 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 ultra violet rays, and not
to the so-called celoric 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-
olusion His little patients rapidly re-
gained their health, and the virtue that
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 subjectin 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 etpockmarlleG. The ultraviolet
rays, indeed, in the case Of these pa
tients produced the same effect as the
red light in that of DR.. Chatiniere's,
| the most otable token Of their efficacy
! being the absence Of fever and the rest
lessness 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.. FiDsen'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.

HOW TO DRESS WELL.
Voman's identity Should Not Be
Sacrificed to the Taste OF
the Dressmakcr.

If woman is afraid to decide about
her own style, let her get an artist
10 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
monotonv in her wardrobe. But her
reward lies in being invariably well
dressed and in having an air never
to be acquired by sinking ones iden-
tity in the nondescript taste Of the
average dressmaker.
4 business woman is wise to select
some one standard color that best
suits her-say brown, or navy blue,
Or gra-and then, having bought the
principal garments in this tone, to
buy all others in harmony with It.
It affords a woman a wonderful op-
portunity to appear smartly dressed
on the least possible outlay. And it
is remarkable how many pretty varia-
tons can be found to prevent any one
color scheme growing tiresome.
1t Is a. excellent plan to begin this
simple n. thod 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 OF
money.
What a wise precaution it would be
to give every girl her own pin-noney,
however ittle, and teach her to be
self-reiant, for it Is sad fact that it
is usually the woman who has the
least ability to dress web who thinks
most about her clothes, always strug-
Cling for effects, and doomed to fail
ure: while the woman or girl who un-
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 q
woman is best calculated to meet the
social and business world at her best.

Illinois is Democratic.

The Chicago Daily News says: "lli!i-

cordiog to poll Of the state which the
Democrats have mrde. from which Sec
retary Nelson, of the Democratic state
committee saws that practically com
plcte returns have just been received.

even With Bryan save his own county
Of Kspe, where the poll showed that
he is exceedingly popular. This fail
ure CT Alschuler to run far ahead Of
Bryan is thought to be due to the fact
hat no poll was taken in Cook county

is considered solid for Alschuler, being
centered II this city.

ETIQUETTE OF The DANCE.
by Every Devotee OF TerD-
11chore.

The etiquette of the ballroom or the
private dancing party ought to be IA
miliar to all who attend such diver
sions, but, If so, its observance Is far
from universal. A few general rules
should always be borne in mind, says
the Chicago Chronicle.
When q man is presented to young
woman at dance he usually says al
most at once: May have tie pleas
ure Of this dance?" After dancing and
walking about the rooms two or three
times the young man may take the girl
back to her chaperon and plead anotb-
er engagement, or, better, she suggests
that he take her to place near her
mother or chaperon. The lady is the
one to first intimate her desire to stop
dancing.
II man holds girl too tightly she
should drop her hand from his shoul-
der so as to bring 1t between her part
ner and herself. II he does not take
the hint let her stop dancing at once
under some pretext so evident that ne
may realize her displeasure or disap-
proval.
A chaperon should not be lacking IN
personal dignity; nor should she dance
while her charge is unprovided with q
partner. A girl should be attentive to
her mother or her chaperon, presenting
her friends to her and occasionally
stopping to say few words.
Both young men and maidens should
be careful to remember that their oan-
cling engagements must be kept. A girl
must not refuse to dance with one man
under some pretext and then dance
with another; neither should she dance
with the same man more than two or
three tines
A young man invited to house
should dance as early as possible with
the daughter Of his hostess and pay
them every possible attention
