He took from a case an armful of gilt

silver, and their shapes were strange
"All these instruments, he said, kill
germs or ward off germs. l will ex-
plain them to you"
He pointed to a small silver SCOOP
THAT is a money SCOOP" he said. "A
number of health faddists carry scoops
in their pockets. They know that the
average coin has on it about million
germs-germs of consumption, of small
poX, of typhoid, of diphtheria-and
therefore they will not touch a coin
with their fingers until it has been
sterilized. When you give them change
they receive it in their scoops instead
of their hands. Thence it goes into
their sterilized purses, to be thoroughly
fumigated at home. I know three men
and two women who use these money
scoops. They are made of silver, ana
they cost dollar apiece"
He took UP tiny Tampa lamp with
two wiclks that rose out of a cake of

THE germ hunter knows that a small
towel may have a germ population as
great as the human population of the
world. Hence you see him, in a wash
room or a railway station, bringing
forth his lamp, lighting it and directing
it's vile smelling vapor on the towel or
cup he purposes to use. He bends over
his task with intent brows. He pays
no attention to the inquisitive stares of
the people. He is often interrupted by
ignorant policemen or special officers,

GERM HUNTING
LATEST CRAZE.
On the Whole Health Faddists Do
Good Work.


Good Work.
From the Chicago Tribune.
Germ fear is the leading trait Of the
twentieth century. There is an anti
septic, or germ destroying, craze. The
public, awakened at last to the eX-
istehce of the peril of germs, demands
"a little too frantically, perhaps
germ protection.
In response to this demand there are
offered to the public many strange and
ingenious devices. The object of these
is the prevention of all such diseases
as arise from the swallowing of germs,
of their touch or their inhalation.
Thus:
There are on the market money
Scoops-silver instruments of pocket
size, wherewith to handle unsterilized
coins.
Automatic germicide doormats. be-
ing stepped upon, emit spray of a
highly volatile fluid that washes from

women, are worn over the mouth and

of germs

From the San Francisco Call.
Whenever Turkey figures in the
newsstand as a constantly disturbing
element in European politics she does
almost daily-the phrase sublime
porte" generally appears. 1t occurs in
all diplomatic correspondence relating
to the affairs of the Sultan's trouble

that the words form one of the titles
of the sick man of the East" Others
may know that it is the name bestow-
ed on the Turkish Foreign Department
But few are aware whence it is de-
rived.
AS a matter of fact, the sublime
porte is the main entrance to the an
cient seraglio, and fallen into decay
and neglect. 1t is now merely a rather
picturesque old gate. with nothing

New York, June 22.-The general
strike in all branches of the ready
made clothing trade in this city, called
by the Garment Workers Trade
Council, went into effect to-day. The
men claimed that more than 30 900
will have quit work before night,
while members of the Clothing Manu-
facturers Association, against whom
the strike is directed, declared that
most of their shops were running with
both union and non-union men who
had either refused to go out or had
not been affected by the strike order.
The Trade Council agrees with the
employers that the only point of diff
ference is the open shop" declaration
promulgated by the labor bureau of
the National Association of Clothiers
after it's convention in Philadelphia.
The strike has been ordered only in
association factories where the work is
done directly by the manufacturers.

1T is WORTH CAPTIVATING.
Women and Girls Without Graceful
Physique Can Never Hope to
Be Attractive.

Nothing can make a lounging stand
ing position excusable. Walls, rail-
ing, posts and door frames were never
intended for human beings to prop them
selves up against-the doing so does not
rest the weary or lessen fatigue in the
least. On the contrary, it rather in
creases it. Besides, the habit soon be-
comes chronic, and general ,shiftless,
"loppy" appearance is the vitality. A
correct position promotes vitality, and
is an aid to correct breathing and good
circulation of the blood throughout the
system. Work with Nature, and she
works for you.
The woman who fattens her entire
body, head, shoulders, hips and heels,
against the wall in a crowded room is
another offender To stand with hips
and heels against the wall is perfectly
allowable in a crowded room, but to rest
the shoulders and head against it is to
be unnecessarily ungraceful. Unless the
upper portion of the torso is free, how
can you possibly bow to your acquaint-
ances? You don't suppose a nod is
bow, do you? We'll, it isn't. The in
clination is always made from the hips.
1t is generally very slight movement,
but it carries forward the heart line"
The head is not bent, save when one
wishes to pay reverence or homage, then
the crown of the head is presented.
Otherwise, to be in good FORM" bend
over so slightly at the hips and keep the
eyes on a level or as nearly so as posi-
BILE, with those of the one saluted.
Don't on any account bend at the waist
line. This is permissible only in exer-
else work. A nod of the head is taught
in the best schools of physical express
sion to be curt and indicative of criti-
cism; it also implies an Affirmative

kerchief is then laid over the plain one
and the two are stitched together on
the line of the hem. Ribbon bows are
attached to each Of the four corners,
and ribbon hanger to the edge at the
opening with. full bows at each end.
Another equally charming gift that
can be made from handkerchiefs is the
bureau cover. For this three or four
are required, according to size, and
they can be as simple or elaborate as
desired. White embroidered kerchiefs
are always dainty, but there are also
many novelties in color that can be
utilized with good effect. But to get
the best results, the edges should be
plain.
Whatever the number and whatever
the style, each handkerchief should
have lace insertion at the ends, and
then all be joined together to form 4
strip by means of beading. Around
the entire edge Of the cover is a frill
of lace, WHICH forms a finish.
A still further decorative effect can
be gained by threading all the beading
with colored ribbon, terminating in
bows of many loops. Fine plain hand
kerchiefs with embroidery of small
flowers in color are exceedingly dainty
and attractive, and many other varia-
lions can be made.-Kansas City Star.

PRETTY HOMEMADE GIFTS.

P1ncushions and pretty bags always

A novel and useful one can be made

the best results, one of some bright
colored silk should be used. It must
be closed and the cover tackled to the

ORNAMENT YOUR OWN LAMP
A Dainty Bit Of China Decorating
Which Can Be Kept in Evidence
the Year Around.

One of the most satisfactory objects
for the china decorator to expend her
labor upon is porcelain vase to serve
as the foundation of a parlor lamp.
This is something which, unlike the
decorated punch bowl or soup tureen,
is constantly in use and in evidence.
1t is something thoroughly worth
while, and for which somewhat dis
proportionate price is usually paid in
the shops.
The motive we give for the decora-
ton of porcelain lamp vase may, if
desired, be easily adapted to a taller
vase by frightening the fower-stalks.
The curious plant depicted (sarra-
cenia) is we'll known with us under it's
various names of the pitcher plant,
side-saddle flower and trumpet leaf.

wide and four feet long. This was fas-

brackets, just high enough for me to

screwed about two dozen hooks-the
kind made to fasten into the under side
of shelves. This made ample room for
the clothes that we're needed most, and
has an advantage over hooks put up
against the wall, in that the clothes do
not crush nearly so badly. Some pretty
curtains reaching from the shelf to the
floor were used to drape the closet
