How to Hold Up a Skirt.

How few women ever attain the
faculty of holding up the skirts on
rainy days with ease and daintiness.
Although it is the rule to wear
hounced understands that almost
touch the ground, petticoats that
reach only to the top of high boots
have ....Aerto been the rule; and on
rainy days these are still reverted to-.
When out walking, the clever woman
arrangcs her skirts, and then, with
one hand, or perhaps two, she lightly
lifts it so that it falls evenly all
round. This is where the knack
comes in, says a writer in the Louis
vile Post. To hold up a skirt on
one side and let it sweep the grounu
on the other is very natural, but it is
not good taste, and when it falls even
ly all round, and the frills of the
uettcoat are almost, if not quite,
~'sible the effect is dainty in the eX-
IRENE.
One of the things that is taught at
a school in New York Is how to hold
Up the skirt gracefully.

PHYSICIANS ARE sKEPTIcAL.
Doubt Efficacy of Or. G. D. Rarney's
CONSUMPTION Cure,

Consumption Cure.
Much interest has been aroused in
the medical profession by the alleged
discovery by DR.. George D. Barney, of
Brooklyn, n. Y, of a formula for cur
ing consumption which he has just
made public. A dispatch from Brook
Ign gives DR.. Barney's formula as fol-
lows:
THE only medicine used is COM
sol, beta-cresol and ortho-cresol They
are made into one compound, known as
trlcresol. ADDED to the cresols is one
OF the strongest disinfeCtants known
TO sclence-ethyleni The meth
Oh OF applying the formula as pursued
by Or. Barney is as follows: A per
cent. solution of cresamin is placed in
Vaporlzer operated at a high pres
sure ana forced into the lungs of a.
patient seated in an alright steel cab
met. All the air is withdrawn from
the cabinet and a fresh suppIv is
forced in Ly means of a bellows. A
rubber tube connected with glass va
pOrizer outside the cabinet is placed
in the patients mouth, the vaporizer is
started and the cresamin is thus
forced into the lungs of the sufferer.
Acting as disinfectant, the cresa-
min is forced to all parts of the pa
TENTS lungs, killing, according to DR..
Barney's theory, all tuberculosis
germs. Dr. Barney claims that in all
ordinary cases of consumption his
remedy will prove effective"
Some time ago DR.. Barney inoculat-
ed Miss Emma H. King with tubercu-
iosis germs and claims to have subse-
quently cured her. Later she commit
ted suicide as the result of mental
nervousness supposed to have been
occasioned by the experiment.
Some Baltimore physicians incline
to the view that DR.. Barney is laboring
under a delusiOn. DR.. thomas S. Lat
timer said: Il think that any disin-
fectant strong enough to kill tubercu-
losis germs in the lungs would be
strong enough to kill the patient being
treated. There must be a multitude
of experiments along the lines set
forth by Dr.. Barney before his alleged
discovery is adopted or even given
credence by the medical profession.
In the early stages of consumption the
outdoor life, such as boating, sailing,
horseback riding or anything which
will give the patient free air and sun
shine, is the best remedy ever discov-
cred, in my opinion"
Dr.. John S. Fulton secretary of the
Maryland state board of health, said:
Even If DR.. Barney could, as he
claims, fill the lungs with gases they
would still not be in contact with the
tuberculosis germs. Two routes are
supposed to be practicable to reach
the actual seat of the disease; one is
by the respiratory organs and the
other by the circulation. Both inhala-
ton and intravenous injections have
Teen worked to death in the effort to
cure consumption. Germs are fairly
well isolated from the reach of any
chemical preparation. Furthermore,
any germicide powerful enough to de-
stroy the germs, could they be reach
ed, would also destroy the life of the
patient, | think. DR.. Barney may be
entirely sincere in his convictions, but
he has a cure he wants to see succeed
and that has probably biased his judg-
ment."

TERRIBLY BURNED
BBen. Roberts Meets With Awful
Mishap at kasota.
4 ATTEMPTS to Start Fire With Kerosene
o Oil. Can ExpIodes He Will
Not Recover.

Ben Roberts, steam drill operator
at the c. W. Babcock & Co. quarry in
Kssots was terribly burned at his
home in that village at FIVE O'Clock
last Monday. He was in the act of
starting fire in the kitchen stove,
using kerosene oil. There were Goals
in 1.-THE stove and the oil caused these
to blaze up. The flames caught the
stream of oil, followed it back to the
can. The can exploded while it was
yet in Mr.. Roberts hands and in an
instant his clothing was all ablaze.
The man rushed out of the house and
in his attempt to extinguish the
flames rolled about on the ground
and in the small amount of snow that
covered the earth, but it was all to no
purpose. The fire removed all the
clothing from his body, from his feet
to a point above his waist His flesh
was terribly burned and he was not
expected to recover. DR.. Daniels of
st. Peter was called to attend him.
Mr.. Roberts is about thirty years of
age and has wife and'two children.
The house caught fire but this was
extinguished by neighbors.

This is the simple inscription on

Capt. M. J. Wiley of st. Paul re-
turned yesterday from trip east, and
he told of his visit to the grave of
Minnesota's famous son in the ma
tional cemetery, for whom the ma
toion mourned, and whose death at
tracted attention in the capitals of the
world. One of the most distinguished
men that ever sat in the United States

part OF ene inscription, Capt. Wiley
says, is SO near the ground that it is
likely to be overlooked by the casual
observer.
Senator Davis body was placed in
the vault at Oakland cemetery after
his death, and it remained there fol
some time. The suggestion was made
that tomb be erected on Summit

MEETS WITH FAVOR.
The Idea of Turning the Slough Into
a Lake is Popular.

Considerable enthusiasm has been
aroused over the proposition to have
the slough turned into lake. The
gentleman who suggested the matter
to Mayor Petersen, and who offered
to give 5000 toward it is County
Auditor Ed. Weaver. The gentleman
who offers to give 500 is Landlord
F. 81. Snyder of the Saulpaugh.
Mr.. Weaver states that his subscrip-
ton of 5000 will be available even If
the lake was to go no further north
than Pleasant street. He believes
that West Mankato and all property
on this side of the slough and any
where near it would be greatly en-
HANGED in value by making a beauti-
| full lake out Of what is now an eye
sore. The shore line would be beauti'
full, and the lake would wind among
the bluffs for mile and half. The
land in the slough is not very vaiu
able, only small portion of it beng
fit to raise hay.
What Mr.. Weaver says about lax
adding to the value of the adjacen
property is true. 1t would be but
few years before the finest residence
would be found along the land over
looking the lake, as is the case at Mad
ison, Wis, and elsewhere. and the de
mand for property here would send l
skyward in value. People ownin
property on the banks of the slougl
would be making the best posi- l
Investment by buying the slough an
making a lake there themselves II the
could not get outside help. But tn
benefit to Mankato as q whole woul
be so great that the property owner
would get nlenty of help.
