THINK WASHING INJURIOUS.

Archibald COlquhoun relates that
"ihere is a strong prejudice in Mica

washing while on a journey and for
some days afterward. The dust is

after arrival, especially if the trav-

AID FOR FORMER INSANE.

Still another new form of munich
pal activity has been taken up by the
city of Berlin, in the shape of a bu-
reau for finding employment for per-
sons released as cured from public
lunatic asylums. 1t was found that
hundreds Of such persons had the ut
most difficulty in re-establishing
themselves as self-respecting MEM
bers of society owing to the prejudice
against persons who admitted they
had spent months or years in asy-
lums. A bureau has now been estab-
lished for the purpose of aiding
these. 1t gives financial assistance
until they become self-supporting,
and in many, cases gives employers
medical guarantees as to the respon-
sibility of the persons in question. 1t
is said that with few exceptions they
turn out to be exceptionally reliable
and capable employes.-Globe.

GET LACE FROM TREES.

Alpheus Hyatt Verrill of "Har'
ner's Book for Young Naturalists"
tells of a tree cloth or lace which In
dian girls in South America use for
clothes. "In order to procure this
beautiful material" he says, sit is
only necessary to break open a
hranch of the lace tree, pull out the
pith and unroll it into sheets. Often
these sheets of delicate fiber are more
than a yard square, and they are
used by the South American girls
md women as wells, handkerchiefs.
mosquito netting, portieres, sheet
iugs, etc. Although very delicate
md pretty, yet the lace is extremely
strong, and is often made into har-
ness, ropes, hammocks, and even sus-
pension bridges across the noun
lain streams. 1t is so abundant that
il is seldom washed, for it is far
rrsier TO cut some new Lace from a
5parby tree than to wash that which
"a soiled."

DESTRUCTIVE MAN.

An English scientist, Sir Ray
Lancaster, says that civilized man
is the most active instrument of de-
struction that has ever appeared on
earth; that he has burned up for
ests, produced deserts, polluted riy-
'ers. He says that the most repul-
siye of the destructive results of hu-
man expansion is the poisoning of
rivers and the consequent extinction
of fish and nearly every other living
thing that is in them. He predicts
sterility to meadows and hillsides
drenched with nauseating chemical
manures from factories. The New
York Medical Record speaks in like
fashion and says that these words
of the British scientist should awake
an echo on this side of the Atlantic,
for in no other country of the world
have the beauties Of nature been so
wantonly defaced as here, and in no
land have the rivers and lakes been
so polluted to satisfy the greed of
the individual. Added to this is the
disaster that viii certainly come to
the masses for such fragrant disre-
gard of the health of the people.

SAW VALUE or ADVERTISING
John Jacob Astos Among the First Of
Great Amer<cans 20 Spend
Money Wisely.

The first John Jocob Astor was an
advertiser in die newspapers, says
the National RcnA Estate Journal.
Real estate men, nosfng through
old records, have found an example
from one Of the greatest land hold
ers of his time in o newspaper adver-
tisement which indicates the Aston
penchant for that sort Of publicity.
The advertisement appeared 100
years ago in the New York Gazette.
1t reads:
"To let for one or more years, a
pleasant situation and an excellent
stand for a dry goods store, the cor
ner house Of Vsey street and Broad
way. Inquire for particulars Of John
Jacob Astor, corner Of Pearl and
Pine Streets"
The house advertised by Mr.. Astor
was one Of five which occupied the
Broadway front now covered by the
Astor house, built in 1885. Before
the revolution il was the home of
John Rutherford. The adjoining
one was occupied by Colonel Axtell,
British officer, and later by Lewis
S. Scott, The third house was
owned by Rufus King, afterward
United States senator and minister
to England, and it was the first one
in the block bought by Mr.. Astor.
Adjoining was Cornelius Roosevelts
home, later sold to David Lydig.
while John G.. Coster owned the Bar
cloy street corner, and this was the
last acquired by Mr.. Astor when pre-
pairing to build his hotel.
"He comes in time to witness the
pulling down of the block of houses
next to that on which 1 live-the
whole front from Barclay to Vesey
street on Broadway-where he is GO
ing to erect New York 'palais
royal which will cost him five or
six hundred thousand dollars"

FoR THE WISE OF THE RACE
How Shall Preservation Of Brave but
Misguided Men Be Best 40
csmpllshed7

What to do with the intractabe,
unciyilizcd race is a problem, bat
il IL certain that some better way can
be found than determination. Take
the fight at Bagsak, for example, Of
which the papers lately arriving from
the Philippines give graphic details.
One will search the annals Of war in
vain for more heroic fighting than
this last stand of Anil and his men.
Worthy of a better cause" their
Manila chronicler calls the bravery,
but resistance to invasion has al
ways been deemed a good cause-it
was good enough for Leoindas and
his 500, who could do no better than
.Amils Joloanos in fighting till the
last man fell.
And why should invasion be nee
essary? An island has been dedicat-
ed to wild birds, islands are being
offered for blue foxes, enthusiasts
propose reserving a tropical island
for tigers and other big game. Why
should not an island here and there
be left to find wild specimens Of
man? Isolated, they can do no
harm; tin gunboat can prevent pi-
racy, and if strangers keep away
they will not be hurt-well-disposed
strangers like missionaries and r. L.
Stevenson manage to win the friend
ship Of the fiercest natives.
There is no reason why everybody
should be civilized, and there is no
reason why we should not segregate
and save interesting races which are
incapable of civilization. The white
mans bullet exterminated Anil and
his band, the white mans diseases
are exterminating the mild Kanakas.
Was it worth while? Millions are
spent on museums, why not dedicate
some islands as museums of print
tive races ?-Springfeld Miss Re

italian Authorities Engaged In q WORK
That VIII Interest All An
tlquarlans.

Under the direction Of the Ital-
ian minister Of public instruction
the ancient city of Veil, near Rome,
and the most famous of all buried
cities, is to be excavated on large
scale. On various previous occa-
sions the site las been tapped, the
work being very limited, but sufii-
cient to arouse curiosity concerning
the mysteries Of the Etruscans.
Veil has been in the minds of people
who have known about it for many
generations, although doubt as to its
existence has been expressed by vari-
GUS authors, but Dionysius, in speak
ing of the third war of Romulus
against it, says that it was the most
powerful Of the twelve cities of the
Etruscan league.
Already in the present excavation
the extreme southern part has been
unearthed, bringing to light the
lower part Of an amphitheater,
formed Of large square blocks of tufa
stone, cut into the mountain to the
depth of IS feet, revealing various
household utensils, some of the ia
nous hut tombs, a group of unique
italian tombs, urns with bones and
other interesting relics.
The part of Veil now tapped
which is said to be placed with prac-
tical certainty in the ninth century
B. c., has tombs which reveal an
other site burial in rectangular
trenches, the skeletons being found
in wooden cases, adorned with bones.
bronze ornaments, amber necklaces
and all sorts of domestic utensils.

HOME INFLUENCE ON BOYS.

Home influence is a strong factor
in bringing up boy for good. This
is so, Notwithstanding there is often
a lack Of organization in the home,
and Notwithstanding the father may
be so engrossed in other affairs that
he is often remiss in not taking a
more active interest in the direct
education of the boy. His strong
influence, nevertheless, is felt ihdi-
rectly. The relation between parent
and child cannot be lightly trans
loving care and the fathers wise
counsel and firm guidance are vital
to the proper growth Of the boy, es-
pecially in his formative years.
Nothing else viii do quite as well.

SO highly did Rossetti think of this de-
