POLICY REVERSED.
State Department Decides TO Receive
Diplomatic Representative of
Transvnnl Republic.

Washington, Jan. %. = Montagu
White, who arrived here Sunday from
New York, will be received as the con-
sular and diplomatic representative of
the Transvaal republic. The state de-
partment has fol mally determined
uEon such action, and Mr.. White has
been given an intimation of this in
tention. Whenever properly execcted
credentials are received by Mr.. White,
which are expected within ten days,
he will present them to Secretary Hay
and enter upon his official career.
This action of The state department
in receiving Mr.. White is reversal of
the policy heretofore maintained. Gen.
O'Beirne, of New York, who was given
proper credentials by President
Kruger, was refused recognition on
the ground that he was an American
citizen. At the same time it was in
timated that bona fide citizens of the
Transvaal, then temporarily within
the boundaries of the United States,
would not be received in an official ca
pacity. 1t has been announced at the
state department until now that no
representative of the Transvaal repub'
lie would receive formal recognition.

REDNESS OF THE NOSE.
The DiscOlorntion Is Very Frequent
ly Caused by the Wearing of
Wells in Cold Weather.

7osenbach (Berliner klinische Woch-
enshrifD. calls attention tc the devel-
ment of abnormal redness OF the nose
in consequence of the wearing of a veil
in winter. The 6iscoloration is most
pronounced at those points where the
veil is most Intimately applied to the
face. The effec: is partly due to the me-
chanical action of the sharp and rough
texture upon a sensitive skin, and to
the influence of the watery vapor that
collects within its meshes and pre-
from the tip of the nose to adjacent
parts, whose blood vessels in conse-
quence become enlarged and conspicu-
Gus. The condition is exaggerated if
the use of the veil is persisted in on
passing from cold to a warm atmos-
phere. The alterations tend to become
permanent the longer the veil is worn
without airing, the longer its injurious
action is maintained by compression.
the colder the season, and the greater
the exposure. Sometimes the cheeks
are also affected similarly. The treat
ment of the condition consists in dis
carding the veil, avoiding for time
sharp winds and great cold, and, when
exposure to cold air is unavoidable, sud
den changes from cold to warmer
temperature. Gentle massage should
be practiced, and applications of thin
layer of lanolin, vaseline or cold cream
may be made, followed by that of some
simple powder such as tale or chalk.
When the use of veil is necessary, it
should not extend below the nasal ORR
fees, SO as to permit the escape of wa
terry vapor. Further, it should not be
too heavy, nor should it be too tight.

MRS. EICKSEN'S WOVEN BANDAGE
of strong, heavy wool, or in some cases
of heavy flax cord.
Mrs. Eicksen regards her invention
not only as benefit to the injured, but
is also trying to introduce the knitting
of these bandages as new occupation
for women, especially for the blind or
decrepit, who cannot engage in more
active pursuits. She has not patented
her bandage, but is now travelling all
through Germany teaching every one
who wishes to learn how to knit the
bandages properly. There is a special
stitch required so as to make them both
strong and elastic, and the value of the
invention is being more and more APP
preciated daily. The inventor suggests
| that her bandages will also prove serv-
icable as strengtheners of the wrists
for tennis players, as well as belts for
mountain climbers, being light and
strong, and far better than the stiff
leather belts usually worn. For bicycle
riders, too, who wish to have free use
of their bodies, and at the same time
not look 'dowdy," she suggests waists
woven in this way. The bandage has
been used with great success by Ger
man physicians in cases of broken arms
and legs, of men, women and children
and even of animals, for which it is not.
ably difficult to find n good splint that
will stay in. place. This bandage stays
exactly where it is put, and this is one
of its great advantages. 1t might be O
good idea for some American woman
who is in Germany to take few lessons
in this bandage-knitting that she
might teach it over here.

woMAN'S INVENTION.
Woven Bandngc, Well Endorsed By
Eminent Medical Men, hut Not
Protected by Patents.

The latest invention tending to di-
minish the suffering of humanity is
that of Mrs. Therese Eicksen, a German
of considerable energy and ingenuity.
1t is nothing more or less than woven
bandage for the use Of those who have
broken or sprained limb. II is ap-
proved by many physicians because it
conforms so perfectly to the shape of
the limb. supporting it at all points and
at the same time is not SO stiff as the
usual splints or wrapped bandages. In
addition, its meshes permit the free
circulation of the air, and in this way
contributes to the speedy healing of
the injured member. The support af-
forded by this naturally elastic band
age is such that it obviates the neces-
sity of remaining in bed with some in
iuries which were thought heretofore
to require such confinement. tits made

They should be held in a straight
position on the knifeboard and moved
backward and forward in as direct
n line as possible, which will prevent
the scratches so often seen on them.
Do not put too much powder on the
board, as that is liable to scratch the
blades. The board should be in a
sloping position, one side slightly
higher than the other. The ivory
handles should be just dipped (not
left to stand) in warm water and
washed with soapy flannel, and then
wiped clean and dry. Blades and han
dies should be washed separately.
Ebony handles may be cleaned with
piece of linen dipped in oil and then
well dried. Keep set of cloths of q
coarse, strong texture for use for the
knives only.

THEY SHOOT TO KILL.
Ready to Defend Their Homes
Against Heavy odds.

Dom Paurs warriors are receiving
great assistance from their women.
A Boer girl learns to shoot as soon
as she is old enough to lift a rifle,
Just as a southern girl learns to ride
horse. The Transvaal country is a
plateau, rolling and surrounded by
mountains. The plateau itself is in
tersperseda. with them, and deep
gorges hevbetween the farms and in
tersect the country.
Upon these hills there is game, and,
as the country is not thickly populat-
ed, it is the favorite pastime of the
wealthier of the Boer people to make
up hunting parties and go to shoot IN
the mountains, just as they do in this
country, but with more opportunities.
The poorer of the Boer women tend
their fiocks upon these hills, though
there are not many Boer shep-
herdesses. Among the Dutch the men
do the work among the live stock and
the women confine their outdoor la
bors to such small truck gardening as
their space affords them.
At the first signal gun the Boer
WOneu were up anu III arms. Mdly
of these villages are situated off In
the mountains like small towns in the
mountains of the west of our own
country Highly educated, cultured,
wealthy and beautiful, the women
have, by the very nature of their sur
roundings, picked up outdoor arts
which women of the crowded cities OF
the east neyer know
So with the Boer women. They
have gone with their brothers to hunt
and they know every inch of the
country.
When the gun sounded which
brought President Kruger, his son
and his grandson out, that same gur
fired the enthusiasm of the maids and
matrons. They said that it was neces
sary to send their men off to wal
and they promised the men that they
would defend their own households
AS yet there has been little skirmisf

work done by the English, but there
women the necessity of being on the
alert.
The women of the Transvaal are re-
markably well equipped as to uniform
for the South African campaign.
They own short skirts and warm con-
venient waists and snug hats. They
also possess not only a knowledge of
firearms, but the firearms themselves;
the most modern implements are
found there, and those who suppose
that the old smoky rifles of long ago
are the only ones in the Transvaal,
should have a talk with the women.
This is not the first time that cam
paigning has been done by the fair
sex.
During the war of the revolution
none worked harder than the women
of the colonies. If near fort, they
supplied the men with food and cloth
ing If isolated, they defended them
selves.
Owing to their early training, the
Boer women are excellent markswom-
en-; when they shoot they shoot to
kill; and they generally kill. The
climate of the country is such that
they are very vigorous in body, and
their Dutch lineage has endowed them
with constitution of iron. They
show this in nerve and sight, and the
man who sees Boer woman with her
rifle out for him would do well to
shield himself; for he is in range of q
sharpshooter.-Chic Democrat.

VIII Throw Hundreds Out OF work

Conneaut, Jan. 24.-Two more auto
matte ore unloaders have just been or
dered to be built for the Carnegie
docks at Conneaut harbor. This ac-
tion indicates that the automatic ore
unloaders which have been undergoing
tests there have come up to all expec-
tations, and that these machines will
now be introduced rapidly at all ore
receiving ports on the great lakes,
thus throwing out of employment
thousands of ore shovelers. This ma
chine weighs 400 tons, stands more
than so feet high, and the scoop
grasps, lifts and transfers ten tons at
once in about the same time that it re-
quires one man to sink his shovel into
the ore and lift few pounds and
place in the average bucket.
