Concerning Germs.

Just now there is published a story
about the results of experiments by a
physician who found 2S colonies of
deadly germs upon a glass plate to
which "a vigorous and perfectly
healthy young girl had touched her
lips" The conclusion of the physi-
clan, or the writer of the article that
kisses are, therefore, "death-laden," is
hardly convincing, says the Louisville
Courier-Journal If the young woniun
with % varieties of disease germs
upon her lips is vigorous and per.
fectly healthy" the inference is that
the % varieties of germs are not as
deadly as they are painted, and no Wig.
orous and perfectly healthy person
should be greatly afraid of the girl
or greatly disturbed by the physicians
discovery.

ENVELOPES TO SIND ABROAD.
Made Now Lined wish Thin Tissue
Paper Of Any Desired Color.

Mice sorts of envelopes they have
nowadays for foreign correspondents"
said girl who writes letters abroad.
You know the envelopes. like the
letter sheets, are made of thin paper
so that they won't weigh too much
and increase the postage.
with an envelope of thin, plain
paper the writing on the letter might
show through. So they came to make
these envelopes Of a paper that was
printed on the inner side with close
lines in pretty plaid pattern that you
couldn't see through and that served
very we'll, but now you can buy for
eign letter envelopes that are made
opaque with lining of the thinnest
tissue paper of any desired color.
Such envelopes you will find and
with lining of various colors in stock,
envelopes lined with blue or with red
or purple or tan or violet, but If you
don't find among these Just what you
want they will show you book Of
tissues with samples Of so or more col
ors or shades from which you can Sc
lect first just the color you do fancy
or the color you call your own and
then you have the envelopes made to
order"

THE GIRL FROM THE COUNTRY
Habit That Enabled Her Instantly to
Be Singled Out.

Said visitor to a teacher in bust.
ness college:
That girl from the country seems
to be the brightest student in the
room"
At the request of the teacher she
designated more particularly the girl
she had in mind.
"Oh, yes" said the teacher, "she
is very bright, but how did you know
she is from the country? She doesn't
look countrified"
Her habit of washing her hands
so often gave her away" said the WIS.,
itor. Il have been sitting here about
two hours. In that time she has
washed her hands three times. No
city girl would have done that; she
would have sharpened pencils or
turned over the dusty books, and sim
ply have polished her hands on her
pocket handkerchief and gone on
working. The country girl would find
1t impossible to work under such con-
ditions. She must have clean hands
All country people have mania for
washing their hands. After each task
down go their hands into basin Of
water. City life cures most country
habits; frequent bathing Of the hands
is the last to CO."

Able to operate on Luna,.

A German physician, by means Of a
glass cabinet with partial vacuum,
has solved the problem Of operating
on the lungs. He probably has paved
the way to successful surgery in cases
Of internal cancer, and possibly Of
consumption where the lung tissue is
affected. By the use of his cabinet
the patient, 1t IL said, can breathe
easily with the chest cavity open and
without danger Of collapse Of the
lungs, which has been the danger
hitherto, owing to atmospheric pres
sure. After the surgeon and his as
sistants have taken their place inside
this cabinet the subject is placed up
on the operating table and his head al
lowed to project through tight-fitting
rubber collar in the wall of the cabi.
net. BY means of suction pump the
air inside is then reduced to negative
pressure.

Mrs. Newberry's Fine Home.

Mrs. Truman Newberry has many
times been described as one Of the
most attractive women in Washington
society Though the term Is frequent
ly used. 1t seldom has the significance
which it possesses in this case. She
has been abundantly favored by fate
and perhaps the fact that she is a per
fectly happy woman has been added
to a natural amiability. Her home Is
In the heart of aristocratic Washing
ton, in Sixteenth street, and was for

residence of Representative George F.

admirably adapted for large enter
tainments and will be ideal for the
throngs which resort to cabinet homes
during the official receptions. 1t Is
thoroughly equipped, filled with rare
paintings and vertu and some superb
family portraits. Mrs. Newberry is
the daughter of the late Gen. Alfred
c. Barnes, the veteran publisher Of
New York city, and she has the fine
collection Of curios which her parents
gathered during many tours In foreign
countries. The East Indian worries
are exquisite, as are the numerous
miniatures of celebrated Oriental
beauties.

GOVERNOR snAFRorh
ON PARDoNs

|:Governor Shafroth is making a record
on the penitentiary pardon question
which is very much in contrast to the
policy pursued by Governor Buchtel,
who seemed to have mania for exer-
cising the pardon power in most in
discriminate manner. If anything,
however, his clemency vas usually ex-
tended to the most vicious class of
criminals This is what Governor
Shafroth has to say on the subject of
pardons:
"The laws of Colorado are such and
the rules under which the prison is con-
Quoted are such that man seldom
serves more time than the state is entitl-
ed to have him serve and do not believe
in reducing the sentences For instance,
if man is sentenced for fifteen years
he can get out in seven years and ten
months, thereby earning seven years
and three months for good behavior.
believe it is better to let them serve
their time and to let them know that
they can secure every minute which the
rules of the prison and which the law
provides if they only behave themselves
and that this will be greater incentive
to good behavior within the prison walls
than anything else. Under our law
and under the prison rules they get
time off for working on the roads, for
being TRUSTEES, and for various other
matters. They also secure better &C.
commodations at the prison when they
are good. 1t seems to me that the best
way TO secure respect for our laws ia to
let the prisoner serve his time subject to
all the good time allowance he can se-
cure by reason Of the special laws and
the rules and that it is unfair to take che
time off of one prisoners sentence, be-
cause he has a pull, and not off of all.
OF course there might be few ex.
ceptions TO this rule. but they would be
very few and must be msritorious. If
the laws are made to be enforced, let's
enforce them impartially, especially
with regard to those men whom we are
trying to teach to respect the laws. "s.ss.
The above seems to us to be the COM
mon sense view of the matter. If man
has been convicted of crime upon suf-
ficient evidence. why offer premium
on crime by offering this same criminal
an unconditional pardon2

Daughter Of Belgium Minister Is Part
ly American.

The eldest daughter of the Belgium
minister, Baron Moncheur, will make
her debut in Washington this winter
This charming young subject of King
Leopold Is quite as much American
as she is Beige. Her mother. Baron
MOncheur's first wife, was Miss
Padelford of Baltimore, one of whose

Woolsley and lives in Washington. a
near neighbor of his titled brotherin-
law: another, the late Arthur Padel-
ford. was the husband of the famous
Bettina Girard, whose father was the
late Gen. Ordway of Washington
The Padelfords come of rich Bal
timore family, and this generation has
spent with lavish hand the fortune
amassed by Its founder. They have
not, however. dissipated all their patri-
mony, for Arthur Padelford left at his
death part of the fortune he inherit
ed, and it was bestowed by the courts
upon his daughter by Bettina Girard
whom he had disinherited, and since
his marriage to Mrs. Woolsley Edward
Padelford has led pious and exem-
plary life.
The Padelfords are handsome elan
and little Miss Moncheur is worthy
daughter of her house; besides being
beautiful. she is extremely graceful
and winning. with that indetlnabie
charm which the daughters of the
south are noted for.

greater part of her time with her
maternal grandmother In Baltimore.

father. Her aunt, Mrs. Edward Padel-
ford, takes the greatest interest in
her, and, having no children of her
own, is able to do much for the pleas
ure of her favorite niece.
That is to say, Mrs. Woolsley has
no daughters. but she has one son.
