The Chicago Girl.

From the Chicago IDter-Ocena.
The ideal Chicago girl. according to the
standard set up by the social leader who is
to be hostess of a beauty luncheon in this
city, is five feet three inches in height. with
a perfect oval face. delicate round and
dimpled chin and complexion clear but
not necessarily rosy. Her nose is straight
but not Grecian, and il may be slightly re-
trousse. She has soulful, longing almond
shaped eyes; her forehead is low and broad
and surmounted by a wealth of dark hair
In figure she is wiliowy. Her mouth is full,
not too large turns up at the corners in
little curves when in action, and expresses
all the charms and aliurements of a rose
bud when in repose.
But above and beyond all this she pos
sesses magnetic personality; her face re-
fleets a nature pure, simple, trusting yet
confident of its powers; her arms are full
but not heavy; her hands are eloquent ratfl-
err than small and she knows how to wea.
her clothes. Now, one may accept this
ideal Chicago girl as composite creation,
but as composite creation only. Nest
Chicago girls possess all of the charms tic-
picted here and many more; some of them
fall short of the social lenders standard n
minor particulars. and then. again. there
are others who. in point Of loneliness IF

VIOLATION OF FISHING LAW.
Court Takes Cognizance of Charges
Made Against Six Persons.

Sergeant Anderson, who has charge of
the Anacostia substation, and Policeman
Lusby made raid about 4 o'clock yester-
day afternoon on several fishermen who
were hauling a seine from a longboat in
the Potomac river, within the limits of the
District. at point nearly opposite Alexan-
dria. There We're three eolored men in the
party. and two colored boys and one white
boy They were escorted to the station
house. where they gave their names as
Charles Jackson. George Jones and James
Banks. thirty. twenty-five and twenty
years of age. respectively. The boys were
Ivering Dudley. Herbert Lomax and Charles
Sorrell. the last named being white. Each
of the boys is fifteen years old. and all
said that they lived in Alexandria,. as did
also the three men. There was only small
number of fish in the boat, and they were
confiscated by the police.
The men each pleaded guilty when ar
raigned before Judge Scott of the Police
Court this morning on charge of Violating
the fishing law. and a fine of SD was i'm
posed on each. sentence of three months
in Jail for each was named as the alterna-
tive
The boys were taken before Judge Kim
pail in the Juvenile Court later in the day,
where they were given a hearing The Sor-
rel boy was released on his personal bonds,
but the judge stated that he would fine
Lomax and Dudley SO each. 1t was point
ed out to the court that the boys are resi-
dents of Alexandria. and would not remain
under the observation of the board of guar
dams, as would be necessary in default of
payment. but would go direct to their
homes when released Their release it
was stated. would follow, as the board did
not have a place where they could be held
ana in such cases Juveniles were necessarily
paroled. Judge kimball thereupon directed
that they be returned to the house of de-
tention indefinitely

Snakestone a Myth.
From South Africa.

rioiH spHlu Airicd'
South Africans, as rule. trouble them
selves but Iittle-about snakes, although it
is very well known that a few varieties
are particularly deadly. Among the ma
tives the properties of the 'snakestone''
have for many generations formed a CEN
ter of half superstitious creduity, and,
even by people who might be expected to
know better have been supposed to effect
the most surprising cures of snake bite.
An investigation of its properties by the
government psychologists of Natal who
submitted an Indian snakestone to the test
of applying it to animals infected with
snake venom, has shown conclusiyely that
its properties are quite mythical and that
1t does nothing that is claimed for 1t. Ac-
cordng to tradition the snakestone. which
has absorbent qualities. and which there is
some reason to believe is frequently arti-
ficially prepared, is placed on the wound
inflicted by a snake bite. There it is be-
lieved to suck out the poison, and it has
been said that if afterward placed in
bowl of milk the venom will eXude and
the milk turn blue. In certain experiments
narrated in the British Medical Journal all
these directions were followed. TO the two
rabbits, injected respectively with the VEN
ON of a black mamba, a very deadly South
African coubrine. and with puff adder VEN
ON, the snakestone was at once applied.
The stone. by virtue of its absorbent nature,
adhered to the wound, but here its edher-
ence to tradition ended. Both rabbits died,
and what was more disappointing, TWO
other rabbits. used control expert
ment" which were injected with the same
amount of venom, recovered. Nor when the
stone was placed in milk did the milk
change color. though slight quantity of it
was absorbed. The amount of absorption
that the stone could possibly effect would
be no more in hours than ordinary suction
by the lips could achieve in few minutes;
and its only possible usefulness might be
that of improving the physical condition of
the patient by impressing him with the be-
lief that a valuable remedy was being ap-
piled.

Muscle Rays.
From the Lancet.

There would appear to be no longer any
doubt that rays are given off by active
muscle and nerves: DIR. Hugh Walsham
and Mr. Leslie Miller point out that expert
ments are remarkably easy to perform and
are absolutely convincing as to the actual
existence of the rays. The fuorescent
screens are prepared with hexagonal zinc
bleude. which is placed in the form of a
very thin film on thin paper goid-beater's
skin or thin celiuloid. The screen is ex-
cited and the -anorescent light allowed to
die away until 1t has reached the steady
stage. At this point if muscle in state
of contraction be placed underneath the
fuorescent screen 1t will be seen to brighten
perceptibly.

Further elements of expense are the

to occur, the high first cost of the extern

the fact that new and unimproved methods
of manufacture may at any time render
the plant more or less obsolete. The

THE TOWN ELECTION.

The election of Mayor and five

be held on Tuesday. the 10Th oil
May next. 1t may look a little
early yet to discuss this matters,
but we are of opinion that they
should not be delayed to the last
moment.
The next council will be of great
Importance to the interest of the
town. this year the council will
have a revenue of $4,000 or $4,000
to spend, and We have every rea-
son to believe that the high Ii.
'cense is here to stay, and we can
look in the future for large reve-
nues for the town. For these rea-
sons the town administration
should remain in the hands Of our
business people aud not allowed to
fall in the hands of the politicians
who will use the influence of the
town Offices for political purposes.
We believe the town committee
should decide not to order prima-
ries for the levin offices, but order
that both factions go directly be-
fore the people at the election on
the 10Th of May.
