A New Typhoid Terror.

Although the discovery of new sources of danger to health, new car riers of disease germs, should be an encouragement to the scientific worker as tending toward the more accurate application of preventive measures, the knowledge that the typhoid infec- ton is being carried about in scores of supposedly healthy persons will prove rather alarming. To the medical profession it is we'll known, of course, that the typhoid bacillus sometimes persists for years in certain portions of the human anatomy, and that it is always to be found for time during convalescence, but the possibility that healthy and apparently robust indi- vlduals may be carriers of the deadly germs, and that the arrest and isola- ton of such carriers" may come to be a part of the public campaign against the disease, is a comparatively recent aspect of the question. The discovery of this added danger should serve to emphasize the importance of scrupulous care in ascertaining the health and antecedents of household servants, says Philadelphia Ledger. In a particular case that led to the dis covery of one aggravated instance of typhoid Carrier" six persons in single family developed the disease within a few days after the arrival of a new cook. After every other possi- ble source of contamination had been investigated and found guiltless, an inquiry as to the cook revealed the startling fact that during the five years previous at least 26 cases of typhoid were associated with her serv- fee in seven different families. She was detained, and meteorological ex- animation revealed her to be chronic typhoid fever producer

A Hindoo editor has gone to jail for

A Hindoo editor has gone to jail for printing a large section of his mind in his paper. If the British government insists on making popular hero out of this editor doubtless he can stand it. A jail sentence is nothing, says Chicago Daily News, if the populace outside is standing around shouting for the prisoner and during lulls is making faces at the British govern ment. That editor may get his name in history long after tie impetuous of ficial who caused his arrest has been forgotten. This may be some consola- ton to him. Then again he may get better grub in jail than he was able to rustic outside. On the whole, the British government has done him a great kindness, but that isn't saying that he appreciates it,

Soldiers Innocent.

Washington, June.-Senator Foraker of Ohio gave out a written statement summing up the testimony taken by the Senate Committee on Military Af- fairs on the Brownsville inquiry, and declaring that it fails to show that any soldier took part in the affair. The statement is an answer to published statement that the testimony conclu- sively showed the soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry did the shooting. MT. Foraker says: "The testimony giv- en by the soldiers in their own behalf is not, in my opinion, shaken by the testimony given by the citizens o' Brownsville"

The glass eye crop comes from
 Thuringia. As Newfoundlers are fish. ermen, or as Cubans are tobacco growers, so the typical Thuringian is a maker of glass eyes. Almost every
 Thuringian house is little eye fac. tory. Four men sit at table, each with a gas jet before him, and the eyes are blown from plates and mold ed into shape by hand The colors are traced in with small needles, and as no set rule is observed in the col bring, no two eyes are exactly alike.

Boy in Misery IL Years-Eczema In
Rough Scales, itching and In
Manufactured by Cuticura.

81 wish to inform you that your
wonderful Cuticura has put a stop to
twelve years Of misery l passed with
my son. AS an infant l noticed on
his body red spot and treated same
with different remedies for about five
years, but when the spot began to
get larger l put him under the care
Of DOCTORS Under their treatment the
disease spread to four different parts
of his body. The longer the doctors
treated him the worse it became. Dur
ing the day it would get rough and
form like scales. At night it would
be cracked, infiamed, and badly sWol-
len, with terrible burning and itch
ing. When | think of his suffering,
it nearly breaks my heart. His
screams could be heard downstairs.
The suffering of my son made me
full of misery. / had no ambition to
work, to eat, nor could l sleep.
One doctor tolds me that my sons
eczema was incurable, and gave it up
for bad job. One evening | saw an
article in the paper about the wonder

trial. tell you that Cuticura Ointment
is worth it's weight in gold. and when,
I had used the first box of Ointment
there was a great improvement, and

KITCHEN COMFORTS
LITTLE THINGS THAT WILL
LJGHTEN LABOR.
Folding Settle One Of the Greatest
Cconveniences-High Chair That
Will Be Much Appreciated
by Hard Worker.

A kitchen which must serve as a
maids sitting-room in the evening
should be made as comfortable and
attractive as possible. 1t can be a
blue and white room. Around the
hearth have blue and white tiles,
though the rest of the floor Is of wood
and covered with blue and whites
linoleum. The walls may be painted
In buff. and the woodwork white, with
hard enamel finish; the sink of
white porcelain. At the windows
have white muslin sash curtains.
A folding settle will be found of
great convenience. When the back is
turned down, a table is formed, but
turned up seat is made with high
back, long enough to accommodate
two persons. The top makes a good
ironing table. Beneath the seat Is a
box large enough to hold ironing
sheet, holders, etc.
This table is of pine wood, and
takes stain readily, and Is therefore
useful on the veranda or in the liv.
ing-room of a simply furnished house.
If the kitchen is large enough, have a
rocker in it. -'-'-.
Another comfort in the kitchen is a
high chair. 1t should be about three
or four inches higher than the or
dinary chair. In it one can do all her
vegetable and fruit peeling. and some
of the ironing. This sort Of chair
will be greatly appreciated by many
a tired maid.
In addition to the furniture already
mentioned, the well-appointed kitchen
should contain a cabinet, which Is
really a portable buffers pantry, and
for apartments where the space Is
limited it Is most valuable. In the
cabinet is room for all sorts Of cook
ing crockery, various drawers for the
materials used for baking and for food
that is to be cooked.
Very useful for the kitchen are the
brass or enameled candlestickS. They
are provided with large glass chin
neys to keep the fame from flicker
ing.
Useful also Is table or wide shelf
covered with zinc, where hot cooking
utensils may be placed when taken
from the fire. 1t will be great say
ing to your enameled sink. Zinc Is
easily kept clean by daily washing
with soap and hot water.
