To Gain PnnularitN.

Why is it that some women are ad-
mired and sought after by the other sex
and others who are apparently more
attractive are comparatively ignored is
one of the puzzles of social life Of
which many an anxious mother would
like to have the key. Miss Z. for in
stance. who Is beautiful and accom-
pllshed, is not nearly as popular as
Miss R, who is barely good-looking,
and to the feminine eye not nearly as
attractive in manner or conversation,
and yet the latter possesses magnetism
and the other does not. Apparently to
be ''mans woman" the guilelessness
of the dove must be united to the wis
dom of the serpent. The candidate for
masculine preferment must be clever
without any of the superiority Of intel

RECENT INVENTIONS.

The vibrations of bicycles Is absorbed
before 1t reaches the rider by means of
new handle and saddle mounting, con-
sisting of a flexible casing, inside which
number of springs are placed which
bend and receive the vibration, one alb
sorber being used to attach each ham
die to the bar, with two or three to car
ry the saddle.
A single trolley wire can be used on
double track road by means of new
trolley pole which has curved track
attached to the upper end lying close to
the wire SO that trolley wheel running
in the opposite direction will leave the
wire and pass over the track around the
other trolley wheel instead of striking
it on the wire.
An Englishman has designed a pocket
knife especially for cyclers' use, which
has special blade for detaching ce-
mented tire from the rim and also a
pair of pliers formed by extending a
portion Of the handle and pivoting a
blade so that pressure on its back
causes its extension to work In con-
junction with the fixed jaw.
A Pennsylvania has designed q
freight and passenger car for high
speed ON railroads. which is cylinder
shaped, with cones at the ends to lessen
the resistance to the air, bumpers be-
ing placed in the cones and designed to
engage the bumper of the next car so
as to slide the cars past each other in
stead of telescoping them when wreck
occurs.

To Clean Piano Keys.


To keep piano keys clean and prevent
the discoloration of the ivory, dampen
piece of muslin with alcohol, and
with 1t rub the keys. The alcohol can
do no damage, and II frequently ap-
piled, the keys will stand in want Of no
other treatment, but II they have al
ready begun to turn yellow rub them
with cotton flannel wet with cologne
water. Even old and discolored ivory
may be rejuvenated, no matter what
the cause of discoloratlon or of how
long standing. An acid applied repeat
eddy will usually restore the keys to
their original Wilderness. Cotton flannel
cloths wet with saturated solution Of
oxalic acid and water and laid upon the
keys will remove all stains. Care should
always be taken in the use Of such a
bleacher as this that 1t does not touch
anything from which the color is not
to be removed, for 1t does Its work with
great certainty.

A shopper who had just made pur-

She did not have to wait for clerk to

Rev. Roland Allen, In his book ON the
Boxer Riots In China" says that moth
ing could exceed the calmness and for
titude with which the native pupils In
his mission schools received the news
of outrages In their native villages.
They prepared their work and listened
to lectures with quiet attention, as If
all the world were at peace. They
knew that their parents were In danger
of death, and that their homes were
probably wrecked. Still they We're I'M
moved. Finally came the rumor that
some of the Christians at Yung Ching,
led by Wang Shu ITEMS father, had
been taken to q temple and forced to
do sacrifice. The old man In question
had been a Christian for many years,
and had lived an exemplary life.
That morning the teacher went into
school as usual. The boys sat there,
dull, speechless, broken-hearted. The
lecture was given up, and after pray
er, Mr.. Allen went away. Shu Tien
followed him to his room, and said:
II want to go down to the village"
"Why%
"They don't know what they are do
ing. They don't understand. They~ar
only ignorant people. l will go and tell
them they must not sacrifice, and re-
nounce the faith. They all know me.
They will listen to me-"
The lad was reminded of the fearful
danger he would incur by going. Every
road was held by Boxer pickets, who
stopped passers-by, asked them whence
they came, where they were going and
what was their business. The Chinese
say that Christian can be recognized
at once by his countenance. A foreign
err, as he walks the streets, Is able to
look at the people as they pass, and say
with certainty, "That man Is Chris
tian.'"
If Shu T'ien had tried to pass himself
off as a heather, he would have been
at once detected.
my father led these people," he said,
81 ought to go and help them now"
Shue T'ien was forbidden to go at
that time, but it was not long before
news came that the village was quiet,
and that another boy had been sum-
moned home. So Shu Tien was per-
mitted to 60 with him.
The two boys set forth for what was
almost certain martyrdom. 1t was a
question whether they would reach
home at all, and If they did, 1t would
probably be to endure torture or assas-
sination.
They had a heather guide and their
plan was to go out Of the city and then
separate. The heather boy would go
first, and then the Christians, each by
himself, but near enough to keep each
other in sight. If the heather boy were
taken the others would stop and hide.
He would have no difficulty In satisfy
ing the Boxers of his identity. If he
returned to his friends, they were to go
on as before If he did not return, each
was to go his own way, and try to save
himself.
When they reached home, they would
climb over the wall by night, take shell
ter in some Christians house, hide there
by day, and then go about by night, ex-
horting the converts to stand firm.
This program was carried out, and
the boys, through time of indescriba-
BILE horror and confusion, acted as mis-
sionaries to their own people.

School of Tropical Medicine to Brazil,
believes that In small bacillus which
they have frequently found In autop-
sizes they have discovered the true
germ. The proof brought by the Amer
lean experiments that certain mOsqui-
toes will transmit the disease, how
ever, renders both of these claims un-
certain and probably incorrect. In fact,
DR.. Reed denies that Sanarelli's ba-
cillus has anything to do with yellow
fever. The true parasite will be discov-
cred, without doubt, and 1t is to be
hoped that the American army officers
who have been responsible for such an
extraordinary advance In our knowl-
edge of the etiology Of the dread dis
ease may be the investigators to carry
the work through to its fullest conclu-
sions.
The Experiments.
During the autumn of 1900 an expert
mental sanitary station was establish
ed, In the open, mile from Quema-
dos. Two houses were built, tightly
constructed, with windows and doors
protected by wire screens. In one Of
these houses, soiled sheets, pillow
cases and blankets were used as bed
ding, and this bedding was brought
straight from the beds of patients sick
with yellow fever at Havana. For
sixty-three days these beds were occu-
pied by members Of the hospital corps
for periods varying from twenty to
twenty-one days. At the end of this
occupation the men, who were all non
immunes, were taken to quarantine
for Ave days and then released. Not one
Of them was taken Ill. All were re-
leased In excellent health. This expert
ment is of the greatest Importance, as
showing that the disease Is not con-
veyed by fomites, and hence the disin-
lection of clothing, bedding or mer-
chandise supposed to have been con-
taminated by contact with yellow fe-
yer patients Is no longer necessary. and
the extremes to which this disinfection
work has been carried in cases of vel
low fever epidemics in our Southern
States have been perfectly useless.
In the other house, which was known
as the infected mosquito building, :"
were no articles which had not been
carefully disinfected. The house con-
tanned two rooms, and non-immunes
were placed in both rooms. In one
room, separated from the other by wire
screen partitions only, mosquitoes
which had bitten yellow fever patients
were admitted, In the other room they
were excluded In the latter room the
men remained In perfect health; In
the mosquito room 80 per cent of the
persons bitten by infected mosquitoes
that had been kept twelve days Or
more after biting yellow fever patients
were taken with the disease, and the
yellow fever diagnosis was confirmed
by resident physicians In Havena who
were above all others familiar with
the disease In every form. Persons hit
ten by mosquitoes at an earlier period
than twelve days after they had bitten
yellow fever patient did not contract
the disease. In another series of ex-
perments, of seven persons bitten by
infected mosquitoes by placing the

Wage Farmers aud Matrimony.


People who urge that the proper
sphere for woman Is the home may find
much encouragement in the figures
showing an increase of 80 per cent liz
the number of marriages In Cook Coun-
ty since 1890, says the Chicago Trlb-
une. Still more to the point is the
fact that the license books clearly show
that an increasingly large percentage
of the brides are young women for
merly engaged as wage earners on
their own account Negative proof of
the same fact is found in the reports
which show that the number of young
women seeking employment as stenog-
raphers and clerks has correspondlngly
decreased. Some authorities are In
clined to credit the prevailing bust
ness prosperity with the increased
number of marriages among working
women. Others declare that men are
Just beginning to find out that women
with n business experience make bet
ter wives. All are inclined to think
that the somewhat general reaction
against the new woman has had con-
siderable influence. Certainly the sign
is healthy one. There are few who
will deny that the ideal place for a
woman is in home of her own, and
there viii be universal acceptance of
the statement that community where
homes are yearly increasing and multi
plying is likely to be safe, prosperous
and happy.

Needs of Children.

A writer In the Ledger Monthly has
the following to say on the subject:
Little children need plenty Of sleep.
They should retire early, not later than
8 O'clock, and should not be disturbed
In the morning, but be left to waken
naturally. The noon nap should be
continued until the child Is at least five
years of age. Even IL the child does
not sleep, the quiet rest Is beneficial,
and for a nervous, restless child Is nee
essary. 80 4t f
after the rest nourishment is need
ed, so this is the best time for the af-
ternoon lunch. The lunch should be
light not to interfere with the even
Ing meal. Bread and milk or bread and
jam or fruit are. the best to give.
PLENTY of plain, nourlshing food is
absolutely necessary for growing chill
dren. The lunch between breakfast and
noon, as well as the one between noon
and dinner, should never be neglected.
at is best to have the childrens din
ner not later than $50. If 1t can be
managed noon dinner Is much better.
Where children are permitted to dine
with the family they should be taught
not to expect everything that Is on the
table. 1t Is poor Judgment to deprive
the older members of the family of GER
tain dishes because they are not whole
some for the children. Rich sauces,
cakes and pickles, salads and all made
dishes should never be given to chill
dren; plain cake, plain desserts, good
pure candy and chocolate in modera-
ton will do no harm. Fruit Is always
good, but be sure 1t Is perfect and ripe;
green and overripe fruit is dangerous"
