THE sOMERSAULTS OF STYLE.

One of the queer reversals OF popu
lar fancy is seen in the public att'
tude in the matter of white stockings
Some years ago the wearer OF white
stockings was considered sign o.
rusticity.
Thrifty rural people favored white
1t was supposed that colored stock
ings were weakened and rotted by
dyes. White stockings retained the
strength and toughness of the origi-
nal fiber, so that it was considered
economical to wear them. The young
people, however, often felt ashamed
of them as a sign of homespun and
questionable manners.
Now how it is changed. White
shoes and stockings abound, and are
one of the badges of swelldom. They
adorn the feet of both men and wom-
en- in the choicest outing resorts.
Uncle Reuben is once more in style.
Which goes to show that almost any
kind of garment comes in style if you
only hold on to it long enough.

KANSAS DOCTORS !. .
IN CAMPAIGN TO
| end BLINDNESS
Carelessness at Birth to Be
Punishable Eye
Treatments.

topeka. Kan, Aug 13.-Kansas IS
preparing to start campaign that
will ultimately result in the virtual
abolition of it's blind school and stop
the growing numbers OF BABIES maze
blind by careless1ess at birth. DR.
S. J. Crumbine secretary OF the State
Board of Health, will ask the board
at it's quarterly meeting in f5eptem-
| Der to provide for the free distr'oI
tion of sufficient silver nitrate solu-
ton to every physician and a re-
uuirement that the solution be used
at the birth of every infant.
The Kansas Medical society, COM
prised of the majority of the physl-
clans of the state, has asked the board
to do this and the physicians have
pledged themselves to help the board
in it's fight to force practitioners to
take steps to prevent blindness in
children.
Heavy Fine Proposed.
The physicians of the state,
through the state society, have ask
ed for state law fixing penalty
Of $1,000 fine and year in Jail for
any physician or mldWHe WHO ldilo
to wash out the US of an infant with
in "a hours after birth with some
antiseptic solution that is known to
be effective against ophithalmia
neonatorum. The society and the
state board feel that even this penalty
is not severe enough, but they feel
that it is about as heavy as could be
imposed until the people of the state
are awakened to the seriousness OF
this affection to a helpless child and
then they will demand even a pei,i-
Tertiary sentence for deliberate ne
glect OF baby.
Kansas has a law that imposes a
penitentiary sentence upon anyone
attacking and deliberately attempting
to make blind any person and the
physicians believe that with slight
amendment to this law the blindness
in children virtually can be stopped
with the state and the big School for
the blind will be almost useless to
Kansas 1t is possible the courts

The Gospel According to
ST. MARK,

CHAPTER 3.
And he entered again into the syna
gogue; and there was man there
which had withered hand.
2. And they watched him, whether
he would heal him on the sabbath
day; that they might accuse him.
3. And he saith unto the mar
which had the withered hand, Stant
forth.
d. And he saith unto them, Is il
lawful to do good on the sabbath days
or to do evil? to save life, or to kill
But they held their peace.
5. And when he had looked round
about on them with anger, being
grieved with the hardness of their
forth thine hand. And he stretched
it out: and his hand was restored
whole as the other.
g. And the Pharisees went forth
and straightway took counsel with
the Herodians against him, how they
might destroy him.
Z. But Jesus withdrew himself with
his disciples to the sea: and a great
multitude from Galilee followed him,
and from Julaea.
s. And from Jerusalem. and from
ldumaea, and from beyond Jordan;
and about Tyre and Sidon, great
multitude, when they had heard what
great things he did, came unto him.
8. And he spake to his disciples,
that a small ship should wait on him
because of the multitude, lest they
should throng him.
10. For he had healed many; inso-
much that they pressed upon him for
to touch him, as many as had plaques.
IL. And unclean spirits, when they
saw him, fell down before him, and
cried, saying, Thou art the Son of
God.
IL. And he straitly charged them
that they should not make him known
10. And he goeth up into noun
tain, and calleth unto him whom he
would: and they came unto him..
IA. And he ordained twelve, that
they should be with him, and that he
might send them forth to preach.

they could do their own domestic.

But as the cottage element comes
in, these primitive manners are nc
longer permissible. People must be

Servants must be taken along and all
the machinery of elaborate city fife
provided. But many of the pleasures
OF the more primitive era are lost.

COTTON MARKETS.

The feature of the opening yesterday
was the buying by Liverpool and trade
interests. Selling was scattered. Prices
ruled very steady for the first hour.
when some Of the prominent brokers
close to spot houses. became aggressive
traders, which caused nervousness among
the shorts, and a wave Of buying fol-
lowed. carrying prices back to the top
of Wednesday for the May option. which
sold at Ie.52, against l2.32 on the opening.
The new crop showed more strength
yesterday than for some time on buying
by spot people. Strength in these posi-
tions was rather bullish. but with senti-
ment more favorable to a further ad-
vance II takes little to cause a rally.
Personally, / prefer the long side on
any soft spots, especially when we get
a setback of twenty-odd points, as We
have had two or three times recently
base this opinion on my knowledge
that Southern mills are going to demand
delivery on May contracts. With pres
ent prices for contracts, it is absolutely
impossible to deliver spots from the
South except at a loss of at least $ a

around top prices. Liverpool is due to
come to 81 points up to meet our
