Might Resulted Seriously.

i
Miss Sadie Lewis is recoving from
being i'll with blood poison in the
thumb. What caused the disease is
uncertain. Wednesday she was sew,
ing some black goods and might
have injured her thumb, but was not
aware Of il. During the evening the
thumb Of her right hand panied. her
and began to swell, the pain becom-
ing 80 severe physician was called
about eleven o'clock. At that time
the pain had reached hef shoulder,
and the calling of the physician
was timely. If attention had
not been given the case would
have been serious, if not fatal.
The thumb was lanced and dressed,
and now Saturday she is improving,
but confined to the bed.
Blood poison appears to occur very
frequently, aud it behooves any one,
having a fresh wound, to be careful
and give proper attention.

SUMNER HEALTH RULES.
shun Ice Water. DrauShts and Don't
Worry Over Business.


In any valuable advice about the treat
ment of ones self in summer the don't ts'
must largely prevail. During the hot
months the gospel of abstinence should be
most strenuously and continuously taught
and accepted or illness is the result.
First, don't entirely shut out the sun
light because it makes the room some
what warmer or fades the carpet Life is
more than a little extra discomfort or the
brightness of carpets. and when you shut
out the sun you shut out the great vital
izer and germ destroyer. You need not,
of course, have the sun streaming in all
day, or even a considerable part of the
day, but let it come in freely for an hour
or two in the morning.
Use as little gas as possible for lighting
purposes. 1t is estimated that one gas
jet consumes as much oxygen as six peo-
pie and adds to the heat. A lamp makes
far less heat, but. much more than cleo
trio light, which uses none Of the room s
oxygen. Luckily, the hours of summer
daylight are. SO long that one usually has
all the time he needs to work or read be-
fore the darkness comes and requires little
artificial light.
Don't neglect your sleeping room. This
is most important don't. Be sure that
during the hour when the sunlight is be-
ing admitted the bed clothes have been
removed and are spread out so that they,
as we'll as the bed, will become thoroughly
aired. Do not sleep in a draught.
But although you should not sleep in a
draught, the air should circulate freely
through the room. Many people close
their windows at night, because they are
afraid of the night air" Night air can
not, in the absence of the sun, be vital
izing day air, but 1t is a thousand times
less dangerous than the air which. in a
closed room becomes heavy and poisonous
from the exhalations from both body and
lungs.
Don't drink too much ice water. This is
a dangerous practice. Ice water allays
thirst for a few minutes, without quench-
ing it. For this reason one who is ad-
dicted to ice water usually drinks enough
to cause a full and bloated feeling and
to stop digestion by unduly cooling the
stomach. Lemonade made from clear,
cool-not ice cold-water is the most re-
freshing and satisfying drink for summer.
Let your heartiest meal be at night, or
whenever your work for the day is over.
Fruit, toast, soft-boiled eggs and oatmeal
make a good breakfast. Where the inter-
mission between hours of labor is short
no heavy food should be taken into the
stomach. Hundreds of people who eat
heartily and return to work almost imme-
diately afterward have dyspepsia.
Don't let the mind get into a ferment.
Simply drop from 1t everything that de-
presses or worries. You will find that
with determination and practice this can
be done. Put any worrying thing you
cannot help away from you. This course
is absolutely necessary for those who
would have good health, which simply
means harmony.

From the Mexican Herald.

The great railway combinations involv-
ing Mexican roads, combinations either in
a state of ~incipience or weil-advanced to
realization, are part of continental busi-
ness movement which appears to be ire
sistible. Already the smelling interest here
has been amalgamated with the smelter
combination Of the United States, and this
directly affects the mining interests Of
this country. The two countries maintain
tariffs the one against the other. but these
obstacles have no effect in retarding the
unification of the business of the two ma
tions. Every year sees more American
capital invested here, every year sees Mex
leo exporting more of her minerals and
general merchandise to the rich and pow
erful republic on her northern border.
Mexico, when she encouraged the building
Of railways to the United States, Joined
the big continental commercial combination
which now embraces Canada, the Ameri-
can Union and this country. Mexico
stands in relation to the United States
somewhat like new world India, pro-
WIDER of tropical productions. More than
that, she Is seller of mineral products to
Americans, and this on a huge scale. 1t
is useless for sentimentalists to declaim
against the growing commercial relations

A Word About Apples.
From the Utica Press.


The people and the papers are always
talking good deal about the wheat crop,
and tho prosperity of the western farmers
in particular is measured by that standard.
Other agricultural products are often lost
sight of on this account, and are not given
the prominence they really deserve. The
Buffalo Commercial printed the other day
the statement that last year the apple crop
of the United States was PIE, 600 600 barrels,
or 53S, 100000 bushels At 81 a barrel the
crop netted 3o,0oo,000, or nearly sl07,-
600, 900 more than the value of the wheat
crop. The same authority also says that
last year this country exported over 1900
900 barrels Of apples. and that this trade
is annually increasing.
Many will be disposed to doubt the accu-
racy of these figures, but the Commercial
claims to have them from authentic
source. Certain Ii is that by and large,
all things taken into consideration, there
is no finer fruit in the world than good
apple. 1t is staple and substantial. Under
proper conditions 1t can be kept a long
time and is more useful In household econ
ony than any other. Scientists ascribe to
it great nutrjtive and often curative prop
critics. 1t is frequently asserted by those
who ought to know that the public health
would be better off IL the public ate more
apples. An apple orchard is slow some
times in coming to maturity, but in this
section the land is made to serve a double
purpose, growing trees while doing duty
as a meadow or pasture There is little
loss in the crop. because what cannot be
sold by the barrel can be taken TO the cider
mill. 1t would certainly seem a more att
tracrye crop than most central New York
farmers regard It. If the figures quoted
which put their faith in apples as others
do in wheat.

Imports Made to Hear the Highest
Possible Duties.


The attention of the State Department
has been directed by Consul General Ma
son at Berlin to recent changes Of classi-
fication under the German tariff, which
show the exceeding sharpness with which
German customs officials scrutinize imports
of manufactured merchandise and the nice
tiles observed in the inspection.
Recently a Jealous inspector dissected a
certain snap hook, manufactured in Amer
lea, which is made of malleable steel or
iron coated with tin, and which has been
imported into Germany for years under
the duty rate Of $2.3S per 100 kilograms
In the mechanism of the hook he found a
tiny brass spring, weighing about one-for
tieth as much as the hook itself. The
hook was Immediately reclassifed as brass
goods, dutiable at $511 per 100 kilograms.
This duty, according to Mr. Mason, is prac-
tically prohibitory in the face Of domestic
competition.
Another instance of this sort has been
noted in connection with American ice
cream freeZers. This class of American
goods, says Mr.. Mason, is superior to any
of similar nature in Europe, and hence
has found large and increasing sale in
Germany of recent years. The freezers are
made of wood and hooped, bound and
otherwise equipped with iron, and, with the
understanding that ironware was their pri-
mary component, they have been classified
as ''ironware in combination with wood
and have paid duty rate of 50. .3S per 100
kilograms.
But now the German customs officials
have discovered that wood is the foremost
feature of their makeup, and accordingly
the same freezers have been reclassified
as wooden ware in combination with
iron,' and the duty has been raised to
STA per 100 kilograms.
These recent rulings, says Mr. Mason.
show the Importance to American export
ers before contracting to deliver large
quantities of manufactured goods in Ger
many of ascertaining by actual trial how
they will be classified on passing the Ger
man custom house

A STRANGE SISTERHOOD.
Rules of Community of Women at
Mount Pleasant.

"ouht IIea~hht.
From the Chicago Record Herald.
In Mount Pleasant, one of the prettiest
suburbs of Washington, d. c., there is a
large brick house which shelters unique
community, consisting of twenty-five wo-
men under the government of Mrs. Martha
McWhirter Most of them have found mar
riage failure and have left worthless or
incompatible husbands to enjoy life in a
sisterhood where each can do exactly as
she pIeases, provided she contributes her
share to the general purse and does nothing
to disturb the harmony of the family. They
do not live lives of absolute idleness, but
each performs a certain amount of labor
under the direction of Mrs New Whirter, who
seems TO be woman of remarkable per-
sonality and executive ability
The community has gradually grown and
now consists of twenty-five women of thirty
years old and upward, who are living what
they consider an ideal life. Each one who
enters the community surrenders to it all
the property she possesses, and it goes into
the common fund, which is quite large. The
amount Is unknown, and is estimated all
the way from 100000 to S500,0JO. They
agree also to obey the orders of their su-
perfor and submit TO the rules of the or
ganization, which are few and simple and
are chiefly for the regulation of labor. Mrs
McVhirter assigns the duties of her subor-
dinates. There is only one man about the
Pi"NeI anu nc is al dSeu negro he
does the heavy outdoor work, and the wo-
men are assigned to whatever they can do
best inside.
One of them is a physician, who not only
looks after the health of the community
but answers calls from the neighborhood.
Another Is dentist, who has chair and a
case OF instruments in the reception room
of the house. Others are seam
stresses and milliners. although extrava-
gance in dress is prohibited; and one is a
shoemaker, who not only mends but makes
the footwear of the household. Mrs. Nc
Whirter selects the cooks and the house
maids according to their tastes and qualifi-
cations, and thus far, she tells me, there
