EsIiLADELPHIA.- Natural Ice ! Association of America, including dealers in natural ice in Philadelphia, has begun a campaign of education to inform the public that aged ice IS free from bacteria.
 Bacteria are the little wigglers in water that get into the insides Of peo ple and oi.en give them typhoid dipli- theria and other diseases. A quart of water contains million or two of these bacteria. Some of them, not all, are dangerous to health.
 But the natura ice men say-anc they produce scientific argument t~ support their assertions-that al though the bacteria are frozen into the ice when the water congeais, they are killed of so rapidly that in ~

Many Americans Abroad This Season

much more simple and comfortable than 1t was I5 years ago.
 London holds itself rigidly aicof from rivalry with the great cities, of the continent. It permits Berlin and Paris to boast of their attractions in. order to lure the American tourist; for Itself, it seems content to say: Here am. the greatest city in. the world, with uDrivaled museums and picture galleries, not to mention tailors and Gressmakers. Come and see me il you want to, but If you don't want to-well I dare say I'll get along
 without .pu.'
 Berlin and Paris now are in open competition Berlin thinks 1t Is a more fascinating city than Paris and it intimates that its night life is far and away more alluring than Paris. Paris, despite the moderness of Der lin and its nocturnal brilliancy, con- t1aues to be the Mecca of Americans. men and women
 The season, both in London and Paris, this year has been marred by almost constant rain. In London a cold rain fell daily for almost three weeks from the middle of June. The weather was so chilly that newly ar rived Americans were compelled 10 wear heavy overcoats and wraps. Paris, too, has been rainy and cold, and shopkeepers and restaurant keep CTS complain bitterly of the effects of the cold upon their trade.
 Thanks to the American invasion with it's train of gold, Parisians have reason to be fairly glad the. are alive.

Loves Little Game.

Woman is born an adept at the little game of love, and to this she adds the study of lifetime on 'hs one subject.
 Not consciously does she take It up' hut instinctively and upon occasions as they present themselves, ana lh the face of problems as they shrieS out for solution.
 The occasions and the problems are not scarce; they assail the women al every turn. By her munitions does she meet them, to the absolute dis' couraSement of man, who connp'e' hends not how the human feminine mind can glide thus over the outside oe nrohlem and solve it somehow"

split the palm the proper width. braid eight strands at time, then sew these braided strips together with fine piece of the palm. A very tedious process, but the men all looked con tented and happy over it. One man told me it took him a week to make a hat, another said it took him fifteen days, and that he received three dol lars for 1t (Mexican money). They make other articles in Uruapan, the most important being the famous Uruapan ware It received gold prizes at the Philadelphia, Vienna and Paris expositions I cannot describe 1t bet ter than by copying the following:
 Simple old fashioned gourds. gen. erally cut into plaques, are used as the basis of operations. They first apply some neutral tint as the ground work, after which the artist, with an ordinary pocket knife, makes the de- sign in either fruit or flowers-per- haps after the order of an engraver on woodland then, little by little, the colors are deftly put into these inden- lures by the fingers, time being al- lowed for each to become entirely dry before adding another. These paints are prepared by the Indians them. selves from the native dyewoods, and as variety of colors are used in the process, much time is expended in ma king this wonderful ware.
 They rub, when thor oughly dry, the entire picture with curious admixture of oily substances, of which the ordinary caterpillar IS the principal. But there is good sense and reason as we'll in resorting to so obnoxious thing as caterpillar. for it completes an object that is not only one of great utility, resisting alike grease and water, but also gives a ware that is to the last, even when worn into shreds, an article of fade less beauty"
 searched diligently for this ware and finally discovered some in small. out-of-the-way shop. None of it was displayed in the shop windows; they had it all tucked away on shelves, each article wrapped in many papers,
 Although there are many evidences of American enterprises in Uruapan, such as electric lights, the Waters Pierce Oil company agency, the Singer sewing machine, an ice plant 'Fono graph" etc, they cannot destroy the peaceful dreamy charm of the place The quaint churches and rortales, the trees and the flowers, the tranquil life of its inhabitants. the soft, balmy air all are still here, while over the dear little town by night and by day broods the spirit of perfect repose.

Exclusive Perfume of Frenchwomen.

Ii is now said to be fad for exclu- siye French and English-and one must hope-American women. to visit shops in France where the most ex pensive perfumes are for sale. and en gage to have made for their exclusive use a perfume that will not be placed on the market until several months later. when of course at the tune common people have it, another per fume will have been prepared Tor the exclusive" customer, who would ratn' CT pay ten dollars for tiny bottle with the pleasure of knowing that otn- CTS are net so distinguished, than the normal price.
 What the old-fashioned minister called These things of time ana sense," are very dear to such women who aspire to dress like Giulia Moro sini. the fabulous prices of whose gowns were weeks talk few years ago. when the cost of her wardroDe appeared in the daily papers.

TO-DAY IN HISTORY.
The Greeorian Era-October Is.

II was on October IS. 1882 that the
Gregorian calendar went into effect
the beginning OF what is known as the
Gregorian era This was a correction
and Improvement OF the Julian calendar.
The Julian calendar marks the refor-
nation Of the Roman calendar by julius
Caesar. who ordered that the year of
Rome 707 should consist Of fifteen months,
forming altogether As days that the
ensuing year. EOS, should be composed
of S65 days. and that every fourth year
should consist of 366 days
After the Julian calendar had been
IN operation a number OF centuries Il
was discovered by more astronomical
observations. that the true solar or trop-
zeal year was 36j days hours IS min
utes. and 81 seconds; whence IL fell
short of the Julian OF Egyptian compu-
tation OF SOS days and hours by an IN
terval OF II minutes and 3 seconds. which
in the course OF $50 years amounted 10

AT the end OF $50 years. therefore the
tropical year began A day earlier or

OF Pope Gregory XIII. A D. 1852. the

In making this correction Gregory

was wanting. Because the vernal eoui-

the assistance Of Aloysius Lnllus. de-

in every four centuries. namely that
every first. second. and third centurial

every fourth centurial year should re-
