TO WASH SILK HOSE.

Colored stockings-silk and other
wise-require a good deal more care
in their laundering than the usual
black. And colored stockings are
promised very definitely to be USED
during the spring and summer sea-
sons. Tan shoes are to be good AGAIN
this year, and nothing is SO shabpy
looking as faded tan stockings, even
though they may, fade the first time
they are washed.
Tan silk stockings are extremely
pretty, although most OF us content
ourselves with Isle thread; and req
slippers demand red silk stockings;
but both Of these colors will run q
little unless you're very careful.
Put them in a pail of cold water,
with q generous handful of salt dis
solved in It, and "let them stand over
night, the night before you wash
them, The salt water will set the
color. In the morning wiring them
out. and wash them with a suds, soap
and water, using water that is warm
without being very hot, and very
soapy, but never rubbing the soap
directly on the stockings. Rinse IN
cold water, being sure to get every
bit of soap out. Don't iron, but pull
them into shape when they are nall
dry and press them, when they are
perfectly dry, with a warm-not hot
iron.
This way takes a little longer, but
your stockings will be like new.

How many Of the countless pupils
who struggle with the decimal frac-
tons in their school lessons are aware
that the source Of their troubles was
"a fatal book written by medieval
mathematician at the court Of Ma
hommedan king, the famous and SUI
perb Al-Mamoun, son Of Harun- al
Rashid, the calf who Is immortalized
in the ARABIAN Nights Entertain
mentW
The name Of this worthy-the med

Of Khoresan. He lived and wrote in
the early period Of the ninth century.
He Is 1.-THE father Of modern arithme-
tic and was a great Eight" in his
time But his fame is clouded by one
huge blunder that he made-the blum
der of having stopped counting too
soon.
If he had not stopped and turned
when he counted ten, but instead had
kept on and turned at the twelve, he
would have started the duodecimal
system and conferred priceless boon
on humanity. Although he has been
dead a thousand years, the so-called
'blunder" of the old Arabian goes
marching on. 1t is with us yet in the
decimal system-noW regarded by the
leading mathematicians of the world
as one Of the greatest calamities ever
inflicted on mankind. The extent of
this calamity may be banged from the
sensational statement of Professor
Archibald McMurry, author Of stand

people waste 500 years time every day

which involve fractions that could and
would have been dealt with easily and

Patents are still being issued for

for a sanitary, metallic folding bed,

from the enameled and brass beds now

Dutch Are Thrifty.

The people Of the Netherlands are
thrifty and economical, excellent mer-
chants, and, in proportion to the popu
lation, their nation is one Of the rich
est in the world. They are cosmopolf-
tan and large minded in the invest
ment Of their capital. They were the
first and most extensive foreign buyers
Of United States bonds Of 1S61-65, but
did not touch the confederate issues
According to estimates of official sta
tistical and financial sources, Dutch
capital to the amount Of $544,50O,00O
Is invested in American bonds and
shares, and $4OO,00O,OOO in Russian
bonds and shares. Very large sums
Of Dutch capital are invested In Mex
lean government bonds and in bonds
and shares of Mexican railroad and in
dustrial companies; also in the gov
eminent and railroad bonds Of Aus
tria- Hungary, Portugal and numerous
other countries, and a large amount Is
working proftably in the Dutch In
dian colonies in sugar, tobacco and
rubber plantations, the mining of tin
and other metals, petroleum wells,
etc. A financial book of reference
places the capital of all Dutch joint
stock companies at $744, 164,OO0 but
this does not embrace the numerous
Dutch companies which have their
headquarters in the colonies and in
foreign countries. The Netherlands,
possessing neither coal nor iron, is not
manufacturing country Of note, and
In this respect is even surpassed by
little Switzerland, also having neither
coal nor iron. The Dutch are full Of
the commercial spirit and have a large

tants are given to dairying, cattle rails
ing and horticulture, in which branch
es they excel.-Brooklyn Eagle.

If Khorawazimi had not stopped at

his name would be called "blessed"

all of whom regret and bemoan the
untimely halt that he made-are strlV-
ing with all their might to create

universal adoption and, Inauguration
of the great reform that he overlooked
the substitution Of the duodecimal
for the decimal system.
What success the scholars are to
have in their crusade for 1.-THE duodec1-
mali in arithmetic is problematlcal
For centuries the duodecimal has been
known in algebra and the higher math-
ematics, but what the great mathema-
ticians want is the introduction Of the
system into the arithmetics OF the
schools and into shops, the counting
house and all the commercial and trad
ing institutions of the people In any
gathering Of mathematical teachers
may be found strong sentiment for
the popular displacement Of the deci-
NAL by the duodecimal system.
Deep-rooted though the decimal sys-
tenn Is in the practical life Of the peo-
pie, the duodecimalists are not dis
couraged. They believe they see an
awakening. No less than five Of the
most eminent mathematicians in the
land who came together by chance the
other day at the University of Chi
cago expressed themselves as satisfied
that the time is approaching when the
public interests will become so enor-
nous that the duodecimal system will
not only be conceded as superior to the
cumbersome decimal system, but will
become an actual public necessity

DEATH OF PRIEST OF 1878.
Sacrifices Himself, Together with
Thirty-Three Cats.

Sacrifices Himself, Together with
Thirty-Three Cats.
A French paper of Constantinople,
Phare du Bosphore, reports the tragic
death of a Greek, Georgia Antikuios,
who had for years the hallucination
that he was the reincarnation of an
Egyptian priest in the temple of Isis.
NJ. Antikulos was retired banker,
says the New York Times. While I'M
der the hallucination he built in the
neighborhood Of Svordin, near Salon
Xxi, temple dedicated to the Egyp-
tan goddess, to which he retired and
lived the life of hermit, only appear
ing in the village at rare intervals to
purchase food.
In imitation of the ancient Egyptian
city Of Bubastis he also built near his
dwelling a park-like Enclosure, in
which he kept a large number Of cats,
which he treated with reverence, offer
ing incense in their honor and eXpend-
ing large sums of money on their food
A few days ago the hermit was
found dead in his cell at the foot Of a
shrine, surrounded by the half-burned
bodies Of thirty-three cats.
In an oaken chest placed on stone
pedestal, inscribed with curious hero
glyphics, was found a paper containing
a statement in Greek signed by An
tikulos, declaring that he had been
commanded in a revelation by the
goddess Isis to sacrifice himself, to-
gether with the sacred cats, at the altar
he had erected in her honor, in order
that he might, in second reincarna-
ton, establish her worship in GER
tain planet to which he would be di-
rected after his death.
The paper concluded with demand,
expressed In the form of a last will
and testament, that sum Of ESQ
which he had deposited at the Saloniki
branch of the Ottoman bank should be
utilized in the erection at Saloniki of
a home for cats, 1.-The living symbol of

AS well as we can Judge 1t is
about once in every six months that 1t
is proposed in this country to put to
death by painless methods people who
are hopelessly Ill and who are in terri
BILE agony. The proposal generally
emanates from the medical faculty,
but its latest appearance is in the con-
vention Of the American Humane AS
ISOLATION, where its advocates were
women. and the physicians opposed it.
One of the speakers having by way of
illustration described the sufferings Of
the victims Of a recent railroad acct
dent, Mrs. Totten rose and said pas
sionately: eff had been in that wreck
and had seen cases such as have been
described and had a pistol I would
certainly have shot the sufferers to
put them out Of their misery" All
this does great credit to the hearts Of
these women, but it only shows that
their hearts are better than their judg-
ments. In this matter they see only
one side Of the subject. Probably ev-
cry mature person that ever lived has
been deeply affected by the suferings
Of people who seemed certain to die
in a short time anyway and has said
in his haste that they ought to be
chloroformed to death, at least If they
themselves desired it. This is what
he says in his haste, but the sober
second thought is always different.
o11 oh &n
such a practice as these women pro-
pose The first is that the wisest man
on earth could not tell when the prop
er time to take human life in this
fashion had come. Take the case
mentioned in the convention, Of a man
caught under railroad wreck and on
the point Of being burned alive by the
approaching flames. That will be
considered a strong case, and yet If
the wind should suddenly change he
would be saved. Have these kind
hearted women never heard Of people
whom all the attendant physicians
gave up to die and yet who got we'll?
Have they never heard Of people who
were supposed to be actually dead and
were buried and yet who were not
dead and were exhumed and recov-
cred? Who, then, would be rash
enough to pronounce a case hopeless
and proceed to administer chloroform
or morphine? The other objection is
that If the state were to legaliZe eu-
thanasia nearly everybody would die
in that way except the inmates Of the
asylums. Just as certainly as a sick
person had any money or any enc
mics, anyone who was tired Of his au-
thority or afraid of his influence, he
would be poisoned and killed by some
Of those around him as ''hopelessly ilp'
and sat his own request" A physi-
clans certificate might be made neces-
sary, but that would only cost So.
These considerations are so weighty
and SO obvious that thoughtful people
have always left this reform" to
those who were surcharged with senti-
mentality, effeminacy, paganism, bar
barism and sensationalism, with
whom it will always remain.

immigration. according to students
Of the subject, follows the parallels
