garnet, sometimes called the "Uralinu

too soientiUo for ordinary discussion,
so the doctors tell us, the conditions
of the system of the human family has
grown moro susooptible within tho
past few leaves, and numbers of oases
of blood-poisoning from piercing the
ears have boen reported. Whether
this will restrain anybody from wear

hardly worth whilo to discuss. Battle

terrors for people who desire to follow
the fashion.

CIO SLEEVliS DEPLORED.
Most women will deplore the pass
ing of the huge sleeve. It has its
drawbacks, but with all its faults wo
men love it btill, and tho prophecy
that the tight sleeve will return next
winter iu not pleasiug to us. The news
from London is that the Princess of
Wales is wearing extremely small, al
most closely-fitting sleeves; indeed,
she never seemed to favor the great
pulls that won the admiration of Paris
and New York. They say, too, that
tho Duke of York so disliked large
sleeves that he asked his wife not to
wear them, aud the obedient Duchess
did as she was bid.
One of tho new sleeves fits quite
tightly to the shoulder, ulthough they
have lull epaulets. The sleeve that
wrinkles like a gant do suede is ex
tremely popular. Over these a small
pull' reaches half way to the elbow,
i'he majority ot women, however, still
cling to the more generously propor
tioned sleeve. Next winter, perhaps,
will be the time of rejoicing fur the
woman whoso plump arms look well in
covering devoid of turbclowa.
Sleeveless jackets continue to hold
their own, in spite of the changes iu
the creations they cover. They aro
vory appropriate for cummer wraps,
since the beauty of summer gowns de

One odd littla sleeveless jacket is of
Kcedcd white duck, trimmed aloug thd
edges with black velvet. A quaint
little cape Mures out over the sleeves
and is caught up over the breast with
enormous pettrl buttous. The lliiriug

At tho reunion recently of Swiss

heatod to a temperature varying, ac
cording to the case, from forty-live to
sixty-five degrees centigrade. The
sand, it appears, containing air be-
twees its particles aud being a bad
conductor of heat, transmits it in a
gentle aud almost insensible manner;
perspiration is favored up to a point
where the patient may lose two quarts
of liquid in one sand bath, and by this
evaporation an invalid may support
coutinued high temperature without
the actual temperature of the body
rising more thau a few degrees ; this,
too, without fear of heart atlections.

feet at the outset. Dr. Suchard states
that the number of ailments that may
be thus treated is considerable, and is
especially beneficial in ohronio rheu

atica are cured or relieved by local or
general baths. The most remsrkablo
success has attended such treatment

tut Powell has shown this in a most
conclusive manner. This inventor's

cally invulnerable.
Kites will always bo nsod in future
warfare for carrying suoh explosives

of seven kites, built on light bamboo
frames, will bo employed, and the ox
plosives could be carried to an enor

Funics ot KeroseiiP,
Many physicians believe that the
fumes of kerosene, when the lamp is
turned low, may cause diphtheria.
Many sleeping rooms aro thus semi
lighted nil night, mid the windows
closed or raised but slightly. The

the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi

family laxative, hyrupof Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millionsof families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects aro due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it nets. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
