question whether It tends to deprave

young and Inexperienced"
Now the Indecent dress Of New
York females. including young girls.
not only suggests impure thought In
the young and inexperienced: the
suggestion operates even more in
the experienced and susceptible. In
this country-and particularly In
this city-there has never been such
condition OF artificial and sugges-
tive adornment on the part OF women
as now exists, and IL 10 safe to say
that there have never before been 50

He declared in flaming periods that all
str!kebreakers should ba In their graves

loyal duty Of all union men to bring

Wonderful Effects Shown in
New Method of Apply
ing Electricity to the
Human Body.

~HE idea Of vitalzing the human body
by forcing electric currents, exter-
naly generated through it is al
Turing. and At first sight seems plausible;
but the great claims made for this appar-
emily simple method of regeneration have
not heretofore been realized. Although the
physicians ordinary galyanic or farddic

and limit its power to stimulate the vital
activity Of cells. on the other hand, cur
rents from the static or frictional electric
machine, with their slightly greater am
perage and much higher voltage, shock the
body and are injurious to the tissues.
About a year and half ago DR.. NaGel-
schmidt, of Germany, found that by pass
ing the ordinary street current Of 40 volts
used for electric lighting through the trans
former of Wappler high frequency cleo
trio machine the voltage Of the current was
raised TO 10000. and at the same time the
yapidity of its oscillations was increased
enormously. This new kind Of electric cur
rent. which because of its excessively rapid
oscillations produces much heat. but with
out shocking effect in passing through hu-
man tissue, was called by DR.. Nagel-
schmidt diathermy.

cHURcHlLL's TALK TO GERMANY,

In the British House OF otCommons Winston
Spencer Churchill, First Lord Of the Ad-
mlralty, introduced the naval estimates for
the coming year. The appropriations called
for amount to 500. 1900. a decrease OF
1885, 90 from the amount spent last year.
The First Lord accompanied the introduc-
ton with a straight talk to Germany
promising an augmentation or retarda-
ton OF British naval construction TO CORE
spond with Germany's naval programme.
Now that the minimum wage bill seems
likely TO become a law. having passed It's
second reading in the British Parliament
by large majority, II is hoped that the
unprecedented distress caused by the coal
strike will cease Unless the miners return
TO work in few days the dislocatlon Of
trade will be tremendous. Already the
strikes consequences are appalling, and
every day sees further curtailment of busi-
ness and railway services.

Victor head Of the Napoleon family, gave
