TESTS WITH MOSQUITO GERMS
Show Where typhoid Fever Comes
 from.

..New York, August 22-Dr A. H. Doty. health officer of the port of New York, today gave out long statement concerning his experiments with mos quitoes on otaten Island. Dr. Doty says in part:
 'T selected for the test a district known by physicians to contain many cases of malaria both in the acute and chronic form. This section, consisting of basin, has within it's boundaries no less than twenty-five stagnant pools.
 "A house to house inspection showed that at least 30 per cent of the inhab- itants of this section were suffering with the acute or chronic form of ma laria. In almost every house or yard were found typical breeding places for mosquitoes.
 '1t was a surprise to Ind that solu- tion of bichloride of mercury (1-2.000), |, sufficiently strong to kill all micro organisms, affected the mosquito larvae slowly, some being alive at the expiration of twenty-four hours. In weaker solutions they lived indefinite ly Permanganate of potassium, which has been strongly recommended for the destruction of larvae, produced lit tie effect excep. in strong solutions. During these tests the marked superb ority of petroleum oil soon became manifest
 "The result of this investigation from scientific point of view has been of great interest.
 First, because 1t has shown the in- innate relation between the mosquito and malarial fever. Second, because it has revealed to those who have been identified with this investigation the true breeding places of the mosquito. Third. 1t has shown that petroleum oil will surely and promptly destroy mos quito larvae, and, so far as careful ex- periments indicate, it Is the only agent which can be depended upon for this purpose"

his own laws for his own convenience. ordinate position as more or less of a drudge or toy.
 It is rather difficult for him now to un- derstand that with better education wo- man has higher aims, and that instead of crouching at his feet she wishes to walk at his side, the free companion of his thoughts, the inspirer of all good things to him, the defender of his honor, and his most faithful friend on this side of heaven.
 Surely this is what woman, in the truest sense of womanhood, means when she clamors for her rights" She wants the right to help in the work of the world, the right to have voice in the affairs of life and that society in which she is com pelled to take so great part-the right to suggest ways out of difficulty, to bring light out of darkness. and, above all, the right to inspire and encourage man to mo- ble efforts by her own steadfast and bright example.
 I take 1t that the sum and substance of woman's ambition when she talks of her advancement in life and work is simply to help Sovereign Man'-not to help herself so much nor nearly so much as to help the whole work of the world.
 In arts and letters this must be or should be her chief concern. Rosa Bon heur has filled a court in the palace of art; George Eliot has built a corner of the temple of English literature. Woman Aa ait Eliot without challenging an Edward Landseer or a Walter Scott.
 There should be no quarrel. Time IS lost and temper wasted in discussing com parisons and equalities. The rewards of art are the same for both sexes. Failure means poverty and contempt; success means the envy of malignant minds
 It has always been so. and always will be so to the end of time. No worker in art or literature ever gathered the roses of triumph without the thorns
 We women may be justly proud of the fact that our work in every branch of art and industry Is beginning to be a recognized factor in the progress of civ ilization, but think we should be care
 
 not lose anything.
 Dr. Watson. in his admirable speech, has gone very much along the old lines concerning the mistakes of women-for instance. how she "tidies up'' a man.
 May she long continue to do so. for, alas! he is by nature a most untidy nor tai.
 He has also touched on her love of dress. Long may she continue to be bet ter dressed than he is!
 He has also spoken of her love for gossip. I venture to say that I never endured such babel of gossipins tongues as I once heard while being entertained to luncheon at a mems club. nor have known many more regulations picked to pieces than on that occasion.
 I admit that women are very good at that sort of work, but so are men. It is a case of six of one and half a dozen of the other.
 And as regards our love of dress, we really have to thank Sovereign Man"

MINT, AND STRAINS.
A St Louis Woman Who Clears $3,ooo
 Year by Their Sale.

From the St. Louis Republic.
 One of the most novel callings in the city from which a comfortable income is derived Is that followed by Mrs. Mary Weber of No. 430 East Prairie avenue, who, for the last twenty years has fur nished mint and straws to the leading downtown saloons. Her annual income from this source Is estimated at 5000.
 Mrs. Weber follows a well defined route downtown, and makes her rounds ac- cording to a schedule which brings her to her various customers places of busi- ness at the same hour each morning. Her mother followed the same business before her. and the two women have made good living out of the route for nearly forty years.
 Fresh mint and wheat straws are the only articles handled by Mrs. Weber, and the sale of these two saloon necessities amounts to a large sum at the end of the year The leading saloons in the city use treble the quantity of mint required by any restaurant, so she has made speciality of sales In the various thirst parlors.
 her home on Prairie avenue, and in small garden she owns, while the straws are purchased from the farmers and care fully cut and bleached at her home. Every morning fresh supply of mint Is gathered and by the means of a small system of hothouses, she keeps up the supply steadily all the year round.
 Mint is tied in small punches of about twenty stems each, and is sold by the bunch, while straws are bound into bundles, several of which are furnished for a nickel. The small quantity of mint seen in a restaurant mint sauce, which often resembles weak tea, the tea leaves left in. would lead the casual spectator to suppose that sales of the herb would amount to but a small figure in saloons as well. but this is not the case.
 One of Mrs. Weber's customers never purchase less than s1 worth of mint each morning, often doubling and trebling this sum in hot weather. Straws are also more important item than one would imagine, the same customer stating that fifty cents per week is a fair average for straws for his stcoon.
 An average of six stems of mint Is used in mint juleps and other like drinks, and | as the bundle of twenty stems costs 5 cents, it can be seen that nearly 9 cents worth of mint is placed in most drinks

Marie CoreIli's Toast to Women

At recent banquet of the White Fri ars' Club in London the Rev. Dr. Watson Clan Maclaren) proposed the toast, "sov- erelgn Woman" to which Marie Corelii replied as follows:
 We hear a great deal nowadays of strife and competition between the sexes, but surely there should be no strife between two halves of a perfect whole.
 Man is king, as woman is queen, and to do good work in the world the two must rule tremendously together.
 One Is not greater or less than the other; each has the qualities necessary to make both happy. And men and women are never seen at better advantage than when their total unlil1eness to each other is most apparent.
 An effeminate man is contemptible; a masculine woman is ridiculous.
 It Is not by asserting herself as the will best keep her sovereignty; it Is rather by emphasizing and insisting on the great difference there is between herself and him Imagination is, we know, the sheer est form of flattery; bur to fiatter man so much as to try to make ourselves in any way like him Is carrying the compliment somewhat too far.
 We women can be useful workers In the world without sacrificing our chief birth right-womanliness.
 It Is not by copying mans dress, his sports or his customs that we shall keep and hold our best influence over him. His costume-if the gentlmen will permit me to say so-is really not worth initiating. His sports and his customs are of na- ture his-not of ours.
 No woman ever gains anything by as- serting that she Is as good as a man. She ought to be so much better that any as- sertion of the kind Is totally unnecessary.
 It is generally understood and consid- cred that man object to that particular movement which Is called the advance ment of woman"
 If he does so object, the objection is per fectly reasonable and natural. For long centuries of tradition and history in all countries he has been accustomed to make

I have used 1t two years. and do not like to be with out a box all the time. My baby would hardly have lived through his second sum mer if had not used your powders. He is now strong and we'll, and has all his teeth. never allow an opportunity to pass without recommending TEETHINA to mothers.

Anyhow, he has fearlessly thrown big chunk of double-snotted truth into the so-called Sampson-Schley controversy. He de clares that Admiral Schley was not placed in possession of the code of sig nals with the insurgents through which, he might have learned that Ger. vera's fleet was not at Cienfuegos.

 From this instance 1t can be seen that Mrs weber's income is far from bad one.
 As this customer will spend nearly $500 on mint In the course of year, and as several other proprietors of downtown cafes are heavy customers 1t is evident that placing her net profits at 5000 per annum is a conservative estimate.
 The original purchase of the straws amounts to but little, while the bleaching is a process easily carried out. Her mar ket for straws is nearly as large as that for mint, so the income from this source is also a large one.
