SIMPLE TINT GAUGE
Very Useful for Matching Trimmin9i
and Dress Goods and for Har-
mOnizing COlors.

How many girls there are, and for
that matter men and boys as well, who,
without going actually color-blind,
yet seem to lack the power of judging
whether certain colors blend, or
whether two colors, or combina tions
of colors, will harmonic when placed
in juxtaposition. For instance, to an
inexperienced and not specially
trained eye it is no easy matter to say
whether trimming will match ma
terial in which, perhaps, seven or eight
colors are employed in various proper
tions, or what is the dominant color in
another material that consists of a
medley of colors. The following lit
tie device, which is only homely adap-
tation of a toy to be purchased at most
places, took my attention at once, as
I recognized in it an aid to supply a
want had long been conscious of.
Take an ordinary piece of cedar pen
ell, from 31a to four inches in length,
cut to a point; secondly, circle Of
cardboard, with diameter of about
four inches, and, having made hole
in the center of this, thrust the pencil
through it until the point is about an
inch below the cardboard; with lit

Theological seminary in the First Con-
grega tional church, and when Presi-
dent DR.. j. H. George, who conferred
the degree. came to Miss Fenshaw he
remarked. with much feeling: "This
shows what weman can do"
Florence A. Fensham is a native of
East Douglas. Mass. When she was
very young her family moved to AL
bany, n. Y. where she was brought
up. At an early age she showed I'M
usual mental ability. This spirit was
fostered by her parents, who gave her
every possible advantage. In this
country she has been student at Cor
nell and at Harvard, afterward going
abroad to study in the University of
Edinburgh and afterward studying
theology at Mansfield college, Oxford.
under Dr. Fairbairn.
After completing her course of
study at Oxford, Miss Fensham went
to Constantinople. where she occupied
the. chair of biblical literature and
comparative religion in the American
college for girls in this oriental city.
She also holds the important position
of dean of the college.
This college for girls is the out:
growth of high school founded in
Constantinople in 1871 by the woman's
board of missions for 'the thorough
education and Christian culture OF
girls in the orient" The growth of
the school was so rapid and its work
so important that the institution was
incorporated as a college by the legis-
lature of Massachusetts, in 1890. In
1894 an imperial trade was granted the
college by Abdul Hamid H., assuring
its permanency by the official recogni-
ton of it as an educational institution
in the Turkish empire.
Miss Fensham has thrown herself,
heart and soul, into her work, in which
she is great enthusiast.
''The object of our work." she ex-
planned, els to give the higher Chris
tian education to the oriental women.
Our students number from $50 to 200,
in which Is nationalities are represent
ed, Bulgarian, Armenian. Greek, He
brew, American, English, Turkish, AL
bantam, French, German, Italian, Rus
sian. Hungarian, Roumanian and Aus
tralian. The language of the college is
English, and the facility with which
these eastern girls acquire it is really
remarka BILE"
During the whole period of her
study at the Chicago theological SEM
mary, Miss Fensham held the, high
honor scholarship" which is awarded
to the attainer of IS per cent. in every
branch of study. 1t is a remarkable
and noteworthy fact, however, that
this scholarship has never before been
bestowed, Miss Fensham being the
first to hold it. She will leave Chicago
in few days for three months rest in
the east before returning to her ardu-
Gus labOrs in the orient.

teetotum, which you will find spins
easily, and your apparatus is complete.
Suppose we want to find out If q
trimming really matches some dress
material; all you have to do is to cut
circular piece of the material four
inches in diameter, make hole in the
middle of it, and put the longer por-
ton of the pencil through this, when
it will be fat on your cardboard disk,
to which you can secure it by small
pins. Cut a small piece Of the trim
ming, about three-quarters of an inch
square, and fix it on the edge of your
disk (see Fig).
You have now only to set your tee
totum spinning and watch the result.
If the material you are using had q
pattern, that pattern disappears, and
in place you get the general shade of
the stuff, and the same with the trim
ming, so that if the two exactly. match,
the two shades will be the same; but
if they do not, you will perceive a
lighter or darker ring at the edge Of
your disk. ~ s@s@a I
If again you wish to learn il two ma
terials, each composed of variety Of
colors, will harmonic, proceed in ex-
actly the same way, and the predomi-
nant color in each will give the shade,
and you will at once be able to ascer-

color will Ego" with mass of others

VISITING THE SICK.
Some Points to Be Considered and
Some Things That Are to Be Re-
ligiOusly Avoided.

Sick people are apt to be very seri-
Gus and easily irritated, and it is
often al annoyance to them to see
the door open silently and figure
creep in on tiptoe. No one would
dream of bursting the door open, or
even noisily turning the handle, but
there is a medium course to pursue.
Walk in quietly, but without any un-
due and ostentatious silence. Go
straight up to the bed and speak in
an ordinary tone; and, without ask
ing any tiresome questions, COM
mence speaking of matters which
you know will interest, but not irri-
tate, the patient. Let your visit be
short, and when you rise to leave the
room say your "Good-by" briefly, and
go at once, avoiding any of that lin
gering which is both annoying and
wearying to the invalid. When Wis
iting sick friend, dress with a GER
tain amount of care and fore
thought; do not put on your dull
est and shabbiest clothes, and, on
the other hand, avoid rustling gar
ments. Some people like to take
flowers into the sickroom. Tt is as
well to ascertain beforehand, from
some member of the family, what
kind of flower is liked by the patient.
A powerful perfume sometimes
causes a headache, and even nausea.
Delicacies should only be taken after
consulting the nurse or doctor, and
then not carried direct into the room
unless specially permitted to do SO.

PREVENTION OF MALARIA.
Make sure That There Are No Stag"
uant Cisterns or Pools Anywhere
Near the House.

Mosquitoes being the common, per-
haps the only carriers OF the malaria
parasite, the prevention of malaria
consists in large part in the destruction
of those species capable OF conveying
the disease from one person to an
other. says Youths Companion.
Mosquitoes may be best extermi-
mated by draining or filling all the pools
in which the young develop. small
stagnant ponds and mud holes winch ="
warm weather accumulate q green
scum are particularly favorable Spots
for the growth of the young mosque
toes. Whether small streams do or 40
not run into or drain from these ponds
or pools seems to make no difference
since such shallow pools rarely contain
small fish, which are the deadly enc
mics of the mosquito larvae, devour-
ing them with great relish.
Rain casks and cisterns and even
small vessels, such as discarded tin TO-
mato cans, may become the home OF the
mosquito "wrigglers." The malaria
bearing mosquito, however, chooses
such receptacles for laying it's eggs
less often tn. n do mosquitoes OF KIND
incapable of carrying the Infection.
Unnecessary receptacles which may
catch or hold water until evaporated
should nevertheless be dispensed with,
or else be covered with fine mosquito
netting to prevent access to them by
the matured female insect.
Stagnant pools which it is imposs1-
BILE to drain or fill may be lightly
sprinkled or otherwise treated with
kerosene oil, about teaspoonful to
each two square yards of surface being
sufficient. The oil spreads as thin
film over the surface, making it impos-
sible for the young ''wrigglers" to live
beneath it.
The use Ct mosquito netting over
windows and doors, and the use OF
canopies Of the same material for the
bed, are really important disease-pre-
venting measures in districts where
mosquitoes flourish.
A person suffering from malaria
should carefully guard against being
bitten by mosquitoes if he would pro-
tect others from the disease, since no
mosquito, even of the malarious va
riety, is able to convey infection unless
it has previously bitten sufferer from
malaria. A mosquito infected with the
malarial germ may reinfect the suffer
er. Hence one needs especially to be
guarded against mosquitoes during
convalescence. Recurring attacks OF
the disease are doubtless often caused
by reinfection from the mosquitoes
that caused the first attack, or by 9TH
ers infected by the patients own blood.
Malaria is properly regarded as nom
contagious disease, but sufferer from
it who is exposed to the bites OF mos
quitoes may become a source of dam
ger to the whole neighborhood around
him through their intermediation.
The sufferer should continue the
use of remedies at intervals, SO that the
parasite may in time become entirely
eliminated from the blood.

MEETING WITH ANACONDA.
Lawyer In Passing Through
the Amazon Valley.

A New York lawyer, who has trav-
eled great deal, had an encounter
with an anaconda, which, according
to the Post, he describes as follows:
Il was riding ahead of my party
along a narrow road in the Amazon
valley. My mount was large white
mule, whose only ambition in life
seemed to be to bite and kill every.
one he encountered. l do not know
but what he was a more dangerous
quadruped than any of the wild ami
mails in the Matteo crosse. On either
side of the road rose the forest. Ike
branches of the trees met here anu
there overhead, so that the thorough
fare looked more like verdant tun-
mel than a country road. Suddenly
my mule stopped, dropped his ears
and turned his head about. Think
ing that this was evidence of de-
sire on his part to bite my leg, l
was about to whip him when l no.
ticed that he was shivering all ovei
in an ague.
Il looked up and down the road,
and then [ shivered. Not more than
60 feet away huge snake, half-coiled
around bough which projected over
the road, lay swinging and looking
at me with glare that was not at
all assuring. 1 had left my rifle be-
hind on baggage mule, and had
nothing with which to fight save a
hunting knife. [ drew this prompt
ly from the scabbard, and, with the
courage worthy of better cause,
used it as spur upon my lucklesS
steed, which turned and galloped for
dear life in the opposite direction.
Il reached my party, got the rifle
and with my men galloped back tn
secure the constructor. The reptile
and I must have had the same brand
of bravery. He had dropped from the
bough and vanished in the recesses
of the Jungle

ONCE OWNED MARTINIQUE.
Grandmother of Georgia Woman
Traded on Part of Island,
Through Fear of Volcanoes.


A most interesting story was told a
Banner reporter concerning the orig
inal possession of the island of Mar
Unique. The story concerns Mrs. 5.
C. Reese. of this city, whose grand
mother once owned greater part of
the volcanic isle, says the Athens (Ga.)
Banner.
Mrs. Reese's grandmother was Nine.
Gouvain. who was closely related in
marriage to Count de Trobriand of
France She was an intimate friend
of Josephine de Beauharnais, who aft
erward became the wife of the great
Napoleon, and she left France on the
night on which Napoleon married the
Austrian princess, Marie Louise, and
came to America.
Not satisfied with her possession in
the French West Indies after her COM
ing to America, she traded her land on
the island of Martinique to Count
D'Estang. the gallant French officer to
whom were given valuable lands in
America for his services to the colonies
during the revolution. Most of these
lands were in the southern states, and
20, 900 acres were situated in Georgia,
some of which embraced the present
site of Athens, and others of which
lay near Tallulah Falls.
Nine. Gouvain was advised by her
agent to sell her possessions in Mar
Unique on account of the volcanic con-
dition of the country. and time has
proved the wisdom of her choice. She
was very wealthy woman, and in
close confidence with the powers of
the monarchy of France.
Mrs. Reese has now in her possession
most gorgeous dress of her grand
mother. which was worn at the mar
riage of Napoleon to Josephine, Beau
harnais and which is priceless relic.
The story of the division of the
Gouvain estate, formerly belonging to
D'Estang. is one of piecemeal separa-
ton and division until it became pos
sessed by hundreds of relatives of the
noted Frenchwoman. Mrs. Reese pos
sesses much information in the shape
of papers. maps etc, concerning the
island of Martinique which descended
from its original owner.
