. JAPANESE INCENSE PARTY.
Fins Polnts % Etiquette Observed
By Participants IN = Cartons and
I%ntereatInE GERMANY.

II you ever receive an invitation toa
japanese incense party accept IL
promptly and thankfully. II has no
counterpart in our own social system
and Is as merry and pleasant an AFFAIR
as can be imagined. The people Of the
Mikado's land have trained the nos
trils for generations the same as we
have trained the eye and ear, and they
display a skill which at times Is
startling to a westerner. There is an
odd etiquette to be followed In these
social affairs. For the "A hours pre-
ceding the party, each guest must
avoid the use Of anything which can
produce any odor whatever. Scented
soaps, perfumes, odorous foods, and
even spices must be avoided. These
prevent the user from smelling accur-
ately and also interfere with the other
members Of the party, says the New
York Post.
When you dress be careful 20 put on
no garment that has been kept in the
neighborhood of eamphor wood, to-
bacco, bouquets, dried blossoms, or
scented face powder. When you reach
the house Of your host enter IL as soft
" as you can, and as slowly as posi-
Bile. This is to prevent making a
draught by the movement Of your
own body. Be equally leisurely in
opening and closing doors, as a quick
movement induces a sudden rush Of
air. In the drawing-rOom the hostess
burns a series of incenses usually four
OF five in number. Each guest is al
lowed to take three shifts Of each In
cense and must then iot down its name
and number upon a card. Each Of the
four or five incenses is burned two or
three times, so that the number of
cards will vary from eight to fifteen.
At the end the cards are laid out on
the table and the hostess reads the
names of the incenses employed, which
are checked of upon the cards. The
guest who has guessed the largest
number receives a pretty prize, which
Is sometimes q silver or bronze in
eense-burner, statuette, or carving.
Among the japanese the average wom-
an guesses correctly about six times
in ten, while with American women
the ratio is three in ten. Occasional
ly, however, American women display
a natural talent in this line, and make
records Of eight and nine in ten.
There is a large Japanese colony in
New York. and among the wives Of the
leading merchants these parties are
quite common

CARE OF VACCINATION.
Infection which May set In n PrOpeR
Caution % Not Used
what 20 Do.

The occurrence Of several cases Of
lockjaw following vaccination has re-
Gently alarmed a good many persons
who assumed that the poison was in
the vaccine matter; but the disease
was really the result Of a secondary
Infection Of the vaccination wound
with the germ Of lockjaw, says the
Youths Companion
A similar, but fortunately less seri-
Gus infection occurs when the arms
are very sore and infamed, the germs
in this case being those Of pus forma-
ton, instead Of lockjaw. In other
instances erysipelas microbes have in
vaded the vaccine wound, with the re-
suit that a very serious illness has c
Cured where at the most only q slight
inconvenience was to be looked for.
Smallpox Is such a fearful disease,
and vaccination, when properly done,
Is in the main so good a protection,
that any universal distrust and conse-
quent abandonment Of vaccination
would be nothing short Of disastrous.
On this point we must accept the
unanimous testimony Of the best-edu-
Gated physicians when opposed by the
opinions of a comparatively small
number of earnest and honest, but not
scientifically trained individuals.
AS a matter of fact, since the use Of
animal vaccine has supplanted the old
arm-to-arm vaccination, there is no
danger Of inoculating any kind Of dis
Ease with the vaccine. Such inocula-
ton, when it occurs, comes later, uEu-
ally in consequence Of neglect or mis-
treatment Of the vaccination wound.
Shields are useful in their time, but
are a source Of great danger when
worn too long. A shield may be worn
for a day or two, but not longer. Then
It should be replaced by a little padof
absorbent cotton impregnated With
boric acid, a fresh piece being applied
morning and night and retained In
place by a bandage, stickingplaster or
collodion. This dressing can be en-
ployed Just as well as from the first
instead of the shield, time being al-
lowed for the place to become perfect
" dry before the cotton is applied.
If the arm becomes infiamed, espe-
cially If matter is oozing from the
sore, Il should be cleansed frequently
by trickling over it q stream OF boiled
mot boiling) water, and then applying
a pad Of cotton wet with boric acid
solution. The physician who per
formed the operation should always
see the arm within a week in any case
and earlier II the part becomes sore.
If cleanliness Is observed aN the
sore is not allowed TO tester for days
under a shield, neither lockjaw nor
any other serious disease need be
feared.

MiIk-TwO Recipes for the

Here is a receipt TO clean carpets
which has been tested and will no
doubt be found equally satisfactory,
says the Boston Budget. Boil together
until dissolved eight ounces of borax,
eight ounces of washing soda and
three pounds Of white soap in four
gallons Of water. When ready to use,
add two gallons of water, four ounces
of alcohol and two unces Of am
monia TO one-half of the mixture as
first prepared. After 1t is thus di-
luted, wipe the carpet over with this,
using a scrub brush on stains and very
dirty spots; afterwards wipe over with
q clean cloth wruRg out Of clean wa
ter.
To stefllize milk wash thoroughly
with hot water and bicarbOnate of
soda the bottles TO be used. Fill the
bottles TO the neck with pure, fresh
milk. Cork them with absorbent cot
ton, and place in q pan or pot partly
filed with cold water, taking care that
there is not so much water as to pre-
vent their standing firm. Bring the
milk gradually TO . boil; boil three
minutes, and then stand the bottles
aside TO cool. When cold, prepare ac-
cOrding TO directions with sterilized

IN a double boiler for half an hour
