Advantages of the Doctor.

Physicians, like clergymen, are con-
cerned In trying to make their fellow
men better, but they have a great adj
vantage over the clerical brethren in
being able to shape their lives accord
ing to their whims and necessities with
out undue criticism from their fellows.
We prefer that our doctors should be
good men. We insist that they shall
have a high degree of professional
honor. We expect them not to be I'M
duly mercenary, and not to grudge
fair measure of their time to the public
service. But we don't concern our
selves about what they eat, or drink or
smoke, or how they choose to have
their share Of sun, says writer in
Harper's Weekly. We don't even in
sIst that they shall practice what they
preach, and we should be disappointed
IL we did, for though doctors spend
their lives in efforts to induce people to
take care of their health, it is unusual
for busy doctor to take even ordinary
care of himself. His sleep Is broken,
his meals are irregular he overworks
himself; very likely he smokes too
much. But as long.as our confidence in
his skill is unlmpaired we don't criticise
him.
Doctors are supposed to know what
is good for themselves, and in their
hands we leave the responsibility for
their own cases as well as for ours. To
be sure, we scott a great deal at the
medical profession, carp at its contra
dictions and remark upon its limita-
tons, but in the long run the good doc
tors get the credit that is their due,
even though It's arrears may not come

To Prevent Burial Alive.

Several Insurance men were talking
yesterday about new wrinkles in their
business. Il firmly believe" said one,
that insurance against being buried
alive would pay. 1t is surprising how
many people have dread that suspend
ed ANNA ton may be mistaken for
death. l know woman who has
actually made her husband promise
that II he survives her he will stick a
hatpin through her heart before she Is
buried to make sure that no spark of
life remains. In certain parts of
Europe they have what are known as
mortuary-houses, where the dead are
taken and subjected to various tests to
make sure that death is absolutely GER

ing for somewhat similar course now
before the Massachusetts Legislature.
If such a mortuary building is estab-
lished muititudes Of people would glad

company that would guarantee to make
the necessary tests before burial or
cremation"

SOME NEW INVENTIONS.

A device to prevent theft of rings
from exhibition trays has been recent
ly patented. The tray differs slightly
from those now in use, having a sliding
frame set in the bottom, with fingers
crossing each ring slot at right angles
to lock the rings in place. In opera
ton, If the person who is showing the
rings wishes to take one out, by SIM
ply moving the slide little more than
the width of the opening the ring can
be removed and the slide Immediately
pushed in again, making everything Sc
cure. When the slide is in closed
position the projecting ends lie flush
with the surface and are hardly no.
ticeable, and secret spring lock may
also be used to advantage to make the
slides more secure.
A new game of indoor baseball, which
resembles the national game about as
closely as possible, has been invented.
A board of any desired size Is provided,
and on this is marked the diamond and
other lines, together with indicators
for the stations of the several players.
AT the home plate is located rubber
band stretched between two posts, and
a pair of curved spring arms, these be-
ing used to drive the ball across the
field for fly or foul, or il the ball
lodges between the arms it is strike,
and If at the third strike the ball re-
mains in this position it is said to be
caught by the catcher and the batter
is out. If 1t should chance to bound
outside without crossing the line the
batter has run to first. Propelling the
ball or batter's disk over so many lines
counts for corresponding number of
bases, and thus home runs can be made.
To put out player making the round
of the bases 1t is necessary to strike him
with the ball thrown by an opponent,
and, as the board is of considerable
size, this is a difficult matter In most
instances. The rules governing this
game differ but slightly from those ap-
plying to the outdoor game, the ball
being snapped with the fingers, and
players may become expert by prac-
tice.

TREATMENT OF FRECkLES.

uE fact that freckles are the

summer girl, inclined to freckle, VINO
vet Justly refuses to be housed when
sun sky and sea WOO her, has on hand
a perpetual problem. Freckles are Oh
yided into two classes; cold or constl-
tutional freckles, and summer or hgnt
freckles. The latter fade gradually, OF
yield for time at least, to mild lotions.
The former require almost heroic treat
ment, which then frequently brings dis
appointment. 1t is impossible truthful
ly to guarantee" freckle cure. The
very situation of the freckle-below
the surface-offers an obstacle. One
difficulty In the way of their removal
lies In the wide difference in the tex
ture of different skins. A freckle To-
ton that will have no effect upon ones
complexion will irritate and blister that
of another. The chief ingredient which
enters into many freckle lotions Is acid.
An acid will bleach the spots when 1t
reaches them. 1t must have usually
something to draw them nearer to the
surface. Ordinary massage Of the face
will do this gradually, and. by promot-
ing the activity of the skin, in man.

iron. Good facial circulation is foe
to most facial blemishes. The COM
monest acid and the most effective Is
lemon juice, pure or diluted, as the skin
dictates.

Art of Talking.

When you are trying to make a COM
pany conversational success al
ways avoid a rafting liveliness
on your own part. Don't imagine that
to be a clever woman you must be a
wit If you are naturally witty, well
and good; it will crop out occasionally.
But If your wit is forced, 1t degener-
ates into mere affectation, and affecta-
ton Is fatal. Your main object is to
make yourself interesting without be-
ing obtrusiye-to keep yourself In the
background while you direct the gener-
al conversation. 1t Is wonderfully liz
teresting accomplishment You learn
to note the slightest change in facial
expression. The culver Of an eyelid
or the movement of lip tells you a
story. You see pleasure, anger, inter-
est, dislike where another detects no
thought Your own mind acts more
quickly as you appreciate the thoughts
of others. You have the pleasure of
feeling that your requirement is not
wholly selfish, for 1t gives you the
power to understand the reserved, and
to put the shy at their ease.

$ After a bitter stubborn fight the
democratic state convention decided in
favor of free silver by vote of 661 to
r5os. The contest was direct one and
there is no misunderstanding the posi-
ton of democracy this year. 1t is in
Iowa at least the party of free silver
and of Bryan. This was the first VIC
tory of the year for these defunct is-
sues, the conventions in other
states having declared against them.
The Germans of the eastern part
of the state pleaded in vain for a
democratic platform upon which they
could stand, but it was denied them at
the behest of the silver-republican and
populist elements of the party headed
by such men as Weaver, Genung,
j Murphy, Brewster and Romans. We
firmly believe that if the democrats OF
this county could vote on this question
/ without having the party whip crack
over them, the count would stand
I nearly two to one against free silver.
The silverites are the more active, that
is all. They are the men who manipu-
| late caucuses, make the harangues and
not the mass of the democratic voters
although this county's delegation lined
up solidly for free silver at the state
convention. Why this was done after
the county convention passed a plat
form from which all mention Of free
silver or Bryan or the Kansas City
platform was purposely omitted is
matter for the delegates to explain.
| With the adoption of the platform all
hope of democratic success in Iowa
this year has gone glimmering.
Cummins will have not less than 100, 900
majority and the legislature will be
almost solidly republican. Crawford.
I Dubuque and Lee We're about the only
democratic counties in the state to
vote for the free silver resolution.
That the sound money democrats came
as near victory as they did shows how
dead that issue is in reality. With
fve-elevenths of the democrats openly
opposed to it, with nearly half of the
remainder secretly hoping for its de-
feat, and with the solid opposition of
republicanism there is but little hope
that Iowa will ever be carried by the
silver fake.
