Kings pAUaHTERs AND SONS.
An Organization That Has Had a Re

Kings Daughters was held in New
York City in 1886, 1t was the purpose
of the ten ladies present TO seek CO.
operation In service and In the up
building of Christian character among
members Of their own sex. The
thought Of each was to gather around
herself d group OF friends who could
be inspired with her own desire and
purpose to serve, and who In turn
would seek to become centers of other
groups. The great object of the or
ganization was to bring individuals
engaged in no work, or In Ineffective
efforts, into service in some line
where their abilities would adeauate-
ly meet an actual need The badge
that was chosen was a Maltese cross
on which the letters I. II. N. we're
printed. These letters stood for the
phrase, "In His Name" which was
adopted as the orders watchword.
An organization OF worldwide in
fiuepce was not dreamed OF, but to-
day hundreds OF thousands Of mem

ters display the emblem OF their
society in all parts of the world and
nave found place for its work. Fur

ELECTRIC SLEEP.
To DO Away With Ether, Chloroform
and the Usual Anesthetics.

Paris, FTance.--Dr. Louise Robin
ovitch, who has been experimenting
with her discoveries along the line
OF elctric sleep at ST. Anne's Hospi-
tai, where the city has fitted up a
laboratory for her. gave a success
full demonstration before several of
the most prominent physicians in
Paris recently. Among those present
we're DIR. Magnan, doyen OF st. Anne's.
and NJ. Pique. one of the best-known
surgeons In Paris.
DR.. Robinovitch showed the ply
sicians in her laboratory the result
OF her work. Finally she put a rab-
bit under the influence of electric
sleep, and performed a slight opera
tion on the animal. Later the rab-
bit was electrocuted and brought back
10 lie by the resuscltating force OF
electricity used by the doctor.
A certain surgeon In the French
Navy asked to have the test applied
TO him, so DR.. Robinovitch applied
the test OF local anaethesia, placing
one electric pole In his right hand
and the other at his elbow. Then
needles were passed through his fore
arm. The surgeon and his arm were
absOiuttly NUMB. fto Ieit the touch
OF the needle, but no pain, and the feel
Ing of the electricity was extremely
pleasant.
To an amphltheatre on the first
floor OF St Anne's they went from the
laboratory, and here DIR. Robinovitch
introduced human patient whom she
had cured. He was a chronic patient
OF the hospital who had lost the DOW
er OF using the right side OF his body.
In less than month the doctor cured
him by the use of electricity. Later
she tried experiments In electric sleep
on him, and even tried the voltage
necessary to revive an electrocuted
man. The patient experienced no nn-
pleasant results, he said, and even
enjoyed the sensation.
At the close of the conference DR..
Robinovitch was warmly applauded
by her colleagues. This woman has
made remarkable strides In making
electric sleep more practicable, and
hopes that in few years she may be
able to do away entirely with chloro-
form, ether and the usual anaestics.

Keep gravel and stone roads al

Secure an engineer occasionally

Give the earth road drag a fair
trial, and use II when the roads are

Always repair a road with mate

New Mode In Lingerie.

The latest touch for lingerie is to
have cherry ribbon bows TO fasten up
the dainty garments instead Of the
old familiar baby blue and pale pink.
This is very decided change and
one that indicates complete revolu-
tion In the general dressing OF the
pprticular woman. Where before she
attempted to wear only feminine gar
ments OF the soft shades. she now
would not think of wearing the plain
white gown without some touch of
splashy embroidery.
AS You see, silA carries out the idea
even to dainty bits of lingerie. Light
shades are far too quiet Something
really definite must be worn. and
while all OF the embroidered under
garments are quite simple and trim
med only with hand embroidered or
band Of real yalencienneE lace, the
color OF ribbons makes up for lack Of
feminine frills and furbelows.

A Remarkable Race.

The Lapps are very fond OF stimu-
lating drinks. they think nothing OF
drinking fifteen or twenty cups OF
coffee a day, while their consumption
Of punch Is on vast scale II is no
uncommon thing to see numbers OF
helplessly- natives in the streets
OF Tromso, especially when the sale
OF reindeer flesh has been profitable.
Yet robbery and, indeed, crime in
general are practically unknown
among them; the innate honesty OF
the people Is quite extraordinary
