Fine Compliment to Or. kuhns lsctur c

In speaking OF the lecture of Dr.
". F. Kuhn, Superintendent of State
Hospital No. 4, on "Why Some PeO.
pie Become Insane" which he de-
livcred before the Jefferson County
Medical Society on the 9Th inst, the
DeSoto Republican says:
abr. Kuhn started out on an elevated
plane. 1t was positively refreshing TO
hear at the outset the lecturer affirm
the spirituality of man in the rank OF
his being. He is not AN animal, not
even a rational animal, but he belongs
to the realm of spirit. "Man became
u living SOUL True education con.
ssts in the harmonious aud proper de-
veIopmeut of these three elements of
his being. Some people become in.
sane because they neglect one or all of
these. The proper directive power
for man is in the spiritual nature, that
which crowns his manhood and allies
him with Deity This is the highest
reach of morality and science.
1t follows then that ignorance and
illiteracy, vice and debauchcry, lack
of faith and worry are causes Of in
sanity. The truly normal man is the
real spiritual man. The truly rational
man is he whose body and mind follow
and serve the spirit. The sane man
is he whose spiritual instincts and
powers are supremely directive, Sci.

Insistent Politeness.

Good-tsmpered, kind-hearted. and
liked even by the Russians. Is the de-
scription which the author OF with
Russian, Japanese and Chunchuse" ap-
plies to the Japanese soldier. He also
gives an illustration Of the determina-
ton of the japanese, even when the
object il courtesy.
When, after the Battle Of Tashihchia,
the Russian garrison evacuated
Niuchwang by order of General Kuro-
patkin, the japanese were not long in
taking command Of the place. Two
scouts were the first to enter the town.
They rode straight to the civil admin
istration buildings. There, In one OF
the smaller rooms, they came upon
Russian soldier who had managed to
get left behind his brOthers-in-ar,as.
He slowly rose from behind some fur
niture and faced his captors They
smiled aniably at him, and, treasured,
he pulled off his cap and commenced to
fan himsslf with it.
y Now it Is a common custom for the
japanese soldier, in war and peace, to
carry about with him in the hot wealth
er a small fan. On this occasion q fan
was forthcoming, apd handed to the
Russian.
He refused to take it, preferrlng to
use the cap.
Still with an amiable smile on his
face, one Of the japanese, short man
with abnsrmally broad shoulders, again
proffsrsd the rejected fan with the left
hand, at the same time covering him
with a revolver.
The captive took the gift without
further reluctance and famed himself
with viger 1t cooled him far more
than the cap.

The Hotel de CriIIon.

No seignorial residence in Paris can
rival the Hotel de Crillon, belonging to
the ducal family of Crillon-P olignac, in
the magnificence of Its exterior.
One may say that Its location is
unique In the world From its wide
balcony, arranged as terrace and be-
tween the tall Corinthian columns of
the facade, one sees the whole of the
Place de la Concorde, formerly the
Place Louis XIV. the largest square Of
Paris, with its solemn lines of arrange
ment, its vistas broken by the noble
river which curves between two lines Of
poplars, whence emerge the roofs of
the last palaces along the Quai dor
say; then, farther off, the slender and
lace-like spire Of the Sainte Chapelle
and the violet towers of Notre Dame.
To the left there is sea of verdure
enameled with white statues-the old
royal park Of the Tuileries. In front
Is the heavy mass Of the Palais Legis-
latif, with its Greek front; then the old
Hotel de Bourbon assay, where, the
president Of the Chamber Of Deputies
resides, and beyond the Ministry-of
Foreign Affairs, where the government
Of the republic lodges the sovereigns
who come to visit Paris. Finally, to
the right are the Champs Elysees, that
magnificent avenue which rises like an
apotheosis to the Arch of Triumph
which is announced, moreover, directly
in front Of our building by the colossal
groups from the hand of Coustou,
which were brought from the Chateau
de Marty at the time of the Revolu-
tion.-Century.

Bird Surgeons.

Certain birds seem to possess a re-
markable instinct for surgery. The
woodcock, the partridge and some 9TH
ers are said to be able to dress their
wounds with considerable skill. A nat.
uralist observes that he has shot sew.
eral woodcock that were recovering
from wounds previously received. In
every instance he found the injury neat
ly dressed with down plucked from the
stems of feathers and skillfully ar
ranged over the wound, evidently by the
long beak of the bird. In other cases
ligaturss had been applied to wounded
or broken limbs.

con.,t tor storage battery.

Thomas A. Edison, in an Asheville. N.
c., interview, said he had found in that
section cobalt that would reduce the
weight of storage batteries in automobiles
one-haf and the cost of city traffic more
than half He says the vein OF cobalt
runs from point east of Nashville,
Tenn, in North Carolina, and traverses
four counties. He thinks it means rev.
olntion in the electrical world. Most OF
the cobalt hitherto known to the world
has been found in France and Australia.
Cobalt is hard, white metal, with gran
ular structure, which is malleable. at red
heat and capable of receiving weak mag
netic power when rubbed with magnet.
It is nowhere found native, except in
some meteorites. but usually exists as an
oxide, and the ores are known to have
been in use in the sixteenth century Tor
imparting a blue color to glass.

Raspberry Vinegar.

This German recipe for raspberry
vinegar is very good: Take one quart
of ripe raspberries; pour one pint Of
the best wine vinegar over them and
let them stand for three days in a cool
place, stirring well twice each day.
Then press the mixture through mus
lin cloth, and to each pint of strained
Juice add half pound Of sugar; cook
in a granite, porcelain or brass sauce
pan until it is like strip. Take of the
scum from the strip, let it cool and
then bottle it."

IMPORTANT ADJUNCT TO
A WOMNNS TOILET

Stockings and their lavish decoration
are 4i5lost beyond description; they
need to be seen to realize the amount of
work. hand work. 10. and money that
is now put upon this article of dress
1t is amazing and requires a long purse
If bought n the stores: but as the
beauty OF all this decoration lies in its
exquisite hand work. many a woman
may have stockings as beautiful as
those shown IL she I'll but use her own
ingenuity and a needle
A good plan is first 10 go among the
stores and see how the patterns are ar
ranged and by using many a fancy
work pattern the plain silk hose may
be made beautiful as those which cost
a great deal
In the first place stockings must
match the gowns. Suppcsing you
have a champagne null embroidered in
white, buy a pair Of champagne col
ored silk stockings and copy a pat
tern shown at one Of the exclusive
styles" counters. which was one Of
three butterflies OF different sizes: one,
the largest, was placed right over the
arch OF the foot; the second size a lit
lie higher. and on the ankle the small
est. another design tor woman of
large ankle, light gray silk stockings
had long up and down bars of cross
stitch placed close together. OF course
for very large foot and ankle a per-
fectly plain hose is IN best taste.
a peculiar pattern was worked on
pair oi white stockings; around the
ankle was embroidered q hand ending
I'm a bow knot, the loops and enos of
which fell downwards over the instep
arch.
To be worn with a cream silk null
having "a design of faint pink roses and
green leaves, was a pair in cream silk
covered with tiny whels cut from fine
lace, embroidered In geld and faint
tints of pink and green. The slippers
had rosettes Of pink and green ribbons
sprinkled with tiny gold beads. With Il
green InesSaline decorated with silver
embroidery was worn a pair Of silver
tissue slippers finished with q big green
buckle and silver tissue loops; the gold
en- yellow stockings were embroidered d
with tink green fern fronts, and on tho
wrong side were placed pink flowers of
silk showing through ike flowers be-
hind q bank OF delicate fernery,
Some of the hosiery like the last are
extreme IN their novelty and workman
ship, and the majority OF women pre-
fer a more conservative pattern and
color, the salient feature of which must

Gowns or with a short waist
There are bargains to be had now in

woman with limited income to watch
carefully for an opportunity to get one
at as low a cost as possible. Linen
gowns. both white and colored. are
worn cutie as much this year as ever
before. and while white Is the prevail

light colored frocks are so fascinating

some frocks other than all white pro-
vi ded

summer there are more 1Jng than short
