PHILOSOPHY OF CLEAN LINEN.
Why II Is That White 10 the Mos,
Sanitary.

That there is a scientific reason
for wearing white linen cuffs is as
serted by a writer in the London
Lancet. The white material lnsures
that the slightest degree OF soiling
shall be instantly noticed. so that
the tendency is to keep the cuffs In
sanitary condition. Colored shirts are
therefore step away from clviliza-
ton. Says the writer:
From an esthetic point OF view the
cuff seems TO be an Indispensable part
OF the clothing of the neatly and
clearly dressed individual. This as
sumes. OF course. that the cuff Is clean
and spotless. archaeological refine
ments are often dismissed by many
people as inadmlssible In the common
applications OF life, but the exhibition
Of a dirty or even frayed cuff Is com
monty held TO be the mark OF sloyen-
illness and dirt as an indication that
the individual has lost all regard for
his clearly appearance and condition.
There can be no doubt at all that when
the cuff picks up, as II Is prone 10 do,
dirt from the counter, desk or table.
II picks up also multitude Of micro.
organisms. Dirt so far may be wei
coined, inasmuch as Il indicates an In
sanitary state of affairs. There is,
therefore. a very strong scientific ar
gument in favor OF the wearing OF
materials which readily exhibit the
signs OF soiling, The white dress, the
drills and the ducks must necessarily
be cleaned at regular intervals be-
cause they look unsightly or are an
offense to the eye The demand OF the
eye thus encourages the preservation
OF the hygienic state. II is so also
with the cuff No man with any re.
spect for himself can wear a dirty cuff
and by keeping his cuffs religlously
'lean or by changing them frequently
he Is reducing his chances OF coming
into intimate contact with a collection
Of archaeological entities"

EFFECTS A LARGE SAVING.
New Two-cent Postage Rate TO Britain
Means Much to People,

New York.-One result OF the new
two-cent postage rate TO Britain, ac-
cordlng TO Postmaster Morgan, will
be the saving OF sl,350 day to the
senders OF letters.
On 10000 pieces OF mall the differ.
ence OF three cents on each piece rep.
resents saving TO the sonders OF
81 200 n day. The yearly saving
amounts to s43S.O00 II is estimated
that about 5000 pieces OF mail for the
United Kingdom are daily sent by the
cities whose foreign letters do not
pass through the foreign branch here.
That increases the saving to all the
people OF the United States to 1880
a day OF s492.750 year.
Nobody has yet attempted 70 figure
the exact cost OF carrying letter
from San Francisco or from New
York TO London. II would be prac.
tically impossible TO fix the cost with
precision, as the proportionate amount
OF labor devoted 10 the one letter by
the large number OF men who handle

Terschelling. of the coast of Holland
A portion of the treasure has been
recovered. but any ordinary dredging
plant Is now useless, as the vessel
has sunk into the sand. The new
device is great steel tube. nearly
100 feet in length and wide enough
to allow a man to walk erect down
its center. At one end is a metal
chamber provided with windows and
doors and at the other a medley Of
giant hooks and other tackle.
The apparatus has just been com
pleted, after years OF work by Forrest
Co, shipbuilders, in their Wyven-
hoe yard.
One end Of the tube" explained a
member of the firm, will be clamped
to the side of steamship or barge.
The other end, by means OF waterfall
last tanks, will be sunk until It
touches the bottom. Then, by means
of compressed air, all the water will
be forced from the tube and also from
the chamber at the bottom of 1t, which
will be flush upon the bed of the sea.
Divers will walk down a stairway
In the center of the tube until they
reach the submerged chamber. Here
they will don their diving costumes.
and opening a series of water-tight
doors will step straight out into the
water. Engineers will be stationed in
the chamber, and following the instruc'
lions OF the divers, who will communi-
cate with them by means of portable
telephones, they will operate the me-
chanism OF two powerful suction
pumps or dredgers which are fitted to
the sides of the tube.
These dredgers. It is hoped, will
suck away the sand around the sides
OF the heavy chamber until II gradual
