"The use of visiting cards dates back to quite an antiquity," explains Mrs. Van Koert Schuyler, in the Ladies' Home Journal. "Formerly the porter ,at the lodge or door of great houses kept a visitors' book, in which he scrawled his idea of the names of those who nallod upon the master and his family, and to whose inspection it was submitted from tinu to timo. One fine gentleman, a scion of the nobility from the Faubourg St. German, was shocked to find that his porter kept so poor a register of the names of those who had called upon him. The names, badly written with spluttering pen and pale or muddy ink, suggested to him the idea of writing his own name upon slips of paper or bits of cardboard in advanoe of calling upon his neighbors lest his name should fare as badty at the hands of their porters. This custom soon became generally established." THE HEALTH OF YOUNC WOMEN Two of Them Helped by Mrs. Flnkham —Bead their Letters.

After living 50 years a bachelor he astonished the little world in which he lived by marrying a little old maid as strange as himself, and all the little world laughed. But he was a good husband and a kind father to his only child, Annie. After 12 years of married life he fcud his wife, Elizabeth, were called away almost in an hour, leaving little Annie to sob out the first great grief of her life. After the funeral, when Peter Har vey and his wife had been laid side by side in the old graveyard,and the stern Covenanter minister had said his few solemn words of regret for the dead and comfort forthe living,little Anuie Harvey went to live with her uucle, Andrew Mallory, until she should be come of age. At 12 years old Annie Harvey was like a rosebud. One fears to see the bud expand into the magnificent flower, lest the delicate tints of.the exquisite proportions may be lost. Such were the feelings of good Mrs. Mallory when she said to her hus band : "I wish the lassie would just stay the pretty bairn she is now." •Tut. tut, mither; I mind when ye were a wee bairn yoursel'; and who says ye're not a comely body noo?" said the sturdy old Scotchman. That Annie Harvey should have other views than her aunt concerning herself is not strange. She was im paticut for the time to come when she could assume the long dresses and the aceompanying airs of riper years, and ! already she had faint dreams of the delights of beans, parties, dnncing and that crowning delight, flirting. From 12 to 17! How slow the years move! It seems an age in youth, and but a moment in age. Little Annie Harvey had become Miss Harvey. She was exceedingly pretty, and she knew it. She also knew that she was heiress to the lands and money of her prudent though odd father, and she had been told that the money had been doubled and quad rupled in the careful hands of Uncle Mallory. But another thing she had not been told, thst would have been pleasanter in her ears than all this. She certain ly had lovers; but they were such milk-and-water fellows that she could not for the life of her help thinking of them as she did her uncle's oxen, great, harmless, good-natured animals —good enough, but so dull. Among the friends of Peter Harvey was Robert Wallace, an honest, hard working man, but singularly unfor tunate. If a cow became choked eat ing turnips, it was his cow; if a boy went to sleep in meeting and was marched out in disgrace, or warned from the pulpit, it was sure to be his boy. When the minister's baes swarmed on Sunday and refused togo into the nice new hive, out of a hun dred heads present they selected his head and fought sharply for a resting place there. tiis wife nailod a horseshoe over the door and he drove his oxen and horses with a witch hazel rod, but still the troubles came. Finally old Kizzie Brock threw salt in his well, and from that day forward his troubles ceased. Within an hour after old Kizzie had settled the witches in the well, Peter Harvey came riding down the lane, singing his favorite song, "Comiu' Through the Rye, "a sign that he was in an excellent good humor. After stop ping to haven chat and taking a drink from the well, he proposed to Robert Wallace to sell the few auimals aud other things he could not take with him and emigrate to Illinois; aud, drawing out his well-filled pocket book, he counted hiin 8100 for the journey. Great was the joy of the Wallaces at this unexpected act of fri 'udship. "But," said Peter Harvey, when he had written out a note for the money, made payable when convenient, "you must give me security, and I'll just take a mortgage on this colt." And he clapped his hand on the head of one of the half-dozen lads who called Robert Wallace father. With true Scotch humor the mprt gage was executed and recorded and Robert Wallace, with his household, started for distant Illinois. Like all e-nigrants to a new country, he had his tronbles, but in the end prospered. He owned broad acres, and cattle aud horses in abun dance, and after eight years on the prairies, he said to his wife: "When the crops are secured we will go back to old Ryegate and take a look once more at the green hillocks of Vermont." "And mind you cancel that mort gage and make me a free man," said John Wallace, now a young lawyer in Peoria. "I'm thinking the lad intends to marry and wants to make a clean record," said his mother, laughing. But Robert Wallace and his wife never saw their Scotch friends in old Ryegate, nor the green hills of Ver mont. Before the crops were gathered man and wife were cut down by the harvester Death, and their neighbors laid thein side by side under the trees ' their own hands had planted. John Wal the son, with whom this story ha 4do, with that rest lessness coml >to western life, had gone still further west, and finally located in Denver, and there he pros pered slowly, as young lawyers in new places generally do. Annie Harvey was ailing. "A breath of sea air might do her good," said old Dr. Ooodwillie; and to the seashore she went. , The little steamer Rose Standish carried its load of passengers safely through all the windings of that crooked channel which leads to the dock of ancient Hingham. Mrs. Helen Sackie and her invalid charge, Annie Harvey, were glad to accept the offered aid of a gentleman fellow-passenger, who pla:ed them in a carriage, which conveyed them over to the beach at Nantasket. The sea wrought wonders in Anuie Harvey. Before three days she was flirting outrageously with young Per kins of Boston, whose mother had learned from Mrs. Sackie by sharp cross-questions the undoubted respect ability (id est, dollars and cents) of her charge. Miss Harvey had also condescended to smile graciously upon her fellow passenger nu the Hose Standish, Mr. Wallace of Denver. But wheu that gentleman invited her to ride she was engaged for the same pleasure with young Perkins and his mother. Let him make what advances he would, Perkins was continually in the way; yet Perkins was, to use the plain but expressive language of John Wallace, "an infernal fool," still, none the less troublesome for that. But John Wallace was in love for the first time in his life, and he was not a man to let t: ifles or simpletons stand long in his wny if he oould help it. Ho he persevered in his wooing, and at last thought he might venture to propose to that most fickle lady, Annie Harvey. Moreover, his business demanded his speedy return, for he was yet too poor to afford any long vacation. He found Miss Harvey on the veranda busy with crochet or some other femi nine employment. He invited her to ride; but Mrs. Perkins reminded her of a prior engagement. Mr. Wallace expressed his regret, for it was his last day at the beach. That informa tion seemed to startle Miss Harvey, for she at once laid aside her work, and, saying she would bo happy to ride with Mr. Wallace, went to her room to dress. Ancient Hull has, or had. 19 lawful voters. Hotatiou in o:Hce would per mit each voter to represent his dis tinguished constituents iu the general court of the Commonwealth of Massa chusetts at least once in his lifetime. The wise politicians of Hull weighed carefully the probabilities and pos sibilities of politics; and so skilled did thsy become that Boston, the con centrated centre of ail wisdom, looked anxiously for the returns from the elections of Hull, saying, resignedly, "as Hull goes, so goes the state." John Wallace and Annie Harvey rode over the long stretch of firm, sandy beach from N'autasket to Hull. They talk ul of the sea of old wrecks, of Minot's lighthouse and the white waves forever dashing against its sides; and Joliu Wallace described hi? house iu far-away Denver, the little city surrounded by its giaut peaks, which, in the clear mouutaiu air, seemed so near, yet they were many miles away. Tho lady was silent, thoughtful, reserved,.almost demure. So i* a certain domestic animal when approaching cream. John Wallace told his story as nil others have told it, and it fell on will ing ears. "But," said he, "tomorrow at thi3 time I must lio ou my way to Vermont to pay a debt of my father. I am mortgaged and have been since my childhood. When that is cauceled I can with honesty offer you my hand and heart." A little laugh followed. Kinging out sweet and clear across the beach came the bells of Hull, telling the little world around it was 12 o'clock. "They sound like wedding bells," said Miss Harvey, quietly. "They do, indeed," was the reply. The old preacher was sitting in hia door, his coat off, thinking dreamily of his unwritten sermon. A vehicle drove past, but he was still in the clouds. "Will you please step over to the church, sir?" startled the preacher from his reverie, and he hustled on his coat and hat, wondering what the gentleman could waut at the little old church. When he entered the church, he found the sexton talking with a gentle man and lady. "We waut you to porform the mar riage ceremony," said the gentleman to the astonished preacher; and ho handed him a card with the names of John Wallace aud Annie Harvey writ ten on iti The old preacher laid aside his hat, and, brushing down his white locks, walked to the desk, followed by the others. The school children, seeing strangers in the church with the minister and sexton, gathered round the door, and whispered to each other their curiosity at this uuusual sight. In a few solemn words the old S minister pronounced John Wallace aud Annie Harvey man and wife, then gave them his blessing and kissed the bride. John Wallace kissed her also, and as he did so was told iu a whis per: "That cancels the mortgage." The old sexton, forgetting that he | had rung his midday peal, set the bells again in motion,and the wives of Hull looked out in wonder. "This time they are wedding bells, indeed!" said Johu Wallace, as he helped his wife into the carriage. "l'es—our own wedding bells," was tho happy answer. NEW YOBK CITY (Speoial).—lt isre markec that the children's clothing ie decidedly dressy. Frocks in their waist ornamentation are very ornate. FBOCE FOB A CHILD. Little girls' dresses are not gener ally cut with skirts in shape. Thjs is done only when the skirt is entirely pleated in narrow, lingerie pleats, which are stitched down about one third of the skirt, and then allowed to fall loose, giving the necessary ful ness to the lower part. Dresses are shorter than they were last season. There has been some attempt made to introduce trimmings a t the extreme edge of the skirt, but FOB BRIDES AND BBIDEMAID3. it has not been generally adopted. The deep hem or frill, with the trim ming in the skirt above it still ob tains. Designers have at last suc ceeded in producing a pattern for a circular-cut skirt in frock or coat that does not sag in the seams or haug un evenly. This model is universally shown. In ootton frocks seams are connect ed with insertion by lines of veining. These stripes of insertion extend in some models to the extreme edge of the hem. In others they terminate where the additional circular is at tached. The Etou or bolero effect is noted quite as often for children as for "grown-ups," not only in woolen frocks, but in cotton ones also. Frock* For Weddings. Decided originality is shown by many of the frocks now in preparation for weddings. The first one shown in the large cut, reproduced from the New York Evening Sun, is a wedding gown in white satin. Its long tunio, reaching clear to the skirt hem, is cut into a series of deep points finished all around with frill upou frill in white chiffon. A frilled and kilted under skirt in chiffon is revealed by the tunic's points. The corsage consists of an underblouse in kilted chiffon with a bolero of the satin edged with a chiffon frill. AU-laoe wedding gowns will be popu lar. Here is one fashioned in a fetch ing way that can scarcely be improved upon as a model for this sort of frock in this sort of material. Its founda tion, of course, is white satin, over whicii is draped the lace. In this case, the laoe is Brussels of the finest pattern. An edgiatr of oliiffon frills round the court train is effective. Chiffon frills also trim the corsage at throat and the sleeves at wrist. Across the draped front of the corsage runs a garland of orange blossoms. The quaint touch imparted by the fichu seems to be in high favor foz bridemaid gowns. Here, for instance, is such a frock in white Liberty satin, with yoke in white silk guipure and a fichu in white chiffon frilled all round. At the waist is a broad sash with long frilled ends in lily green chiffon. Another model for a bridemaid'a gown has its fichu in white chiffon also, but edged with laoe. Soft white satin is the material of this frook, the skirt of which has a deep shaped flounce edged with ohiffon frills and headed by several bands of white lace insertions. The no-collar vogue appears iu a third bridemaid frook model. This also displays the bolero, without which so few oostumes of whatever sort are seen nowadays. The bolero is cream colored guipure embroidered in dead gold; the under-blouse, which, finished with the finest of frills at the throat, does away with the necessity of a col lar, is in kilted lily gieen crepe de chine. A Pretty Wash Frock. A pretty little wash frock for a little girl is striped watermelon pink and white, eaoh stripe having a little figure upon it. Stripes lend them selves prettily to trimmings. This has a pleated ruffle around the skirt, pleated so that the red stripe comes together solidly at intervals. The waist is pleated back and front so that the red is again together, and the same effect is given in the short puffed sleeves. Ihere is a laoe insertion let in at all the seams of the skirt of this little frock, at the head of the pleated ruffle, and it outlines the pleats in the front and back of the waist. This ia made to wear with a guimpe. Suit* For Little Ulrls. Many little girls' Ruits are made with Eton jackets and skirts like those of their elders. They are made ohiefly in the heavy wash materials, the linens, ducks and piques, and have plain little straight waists of heavy white wash materials. A Revival In Glove*. Elbow sleeves have brought a re vival of the becoming long mousque taire gloves. v Made of Flowered Organdie. The big sister's summer wardrobe will contain a sunbonnet, which she will wear while participating in the most ancient and royal game of golf. It is a dainty affair, made of flowered organdie, beruffled and beribboned, and the belle will indeed present a charming picture when she sallies forth in one of these elsgaut and THE SUMMER QIBL's SUNBONNET. elaborate editions of the homely gingham and calico prototype of oldon times. - - SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY. "Gnat fever" is the new scientific) flame for malaria, since it has been Ihowu that it is through mosquitoes that the disease is conveyed to human beings. Mountain streams are not always »afe sources of water supply. Some lime ago an epidemic of typhoid iu a sity of southern Pennsylvania led to in investigation, which showed that ;lie water of the mountniu which sup plied the town was polluted by a oranch stream, which received the lewage of a town of 1200 inhabitants. The fact that nettle fibre has of late been found to produce the finest tis sues obtainable from any vegetable source, has led to a project in Ger many to introduce the cultivation of aettles in the Kamerun region of Africa. If the experiment is success ful, the enterprise will be undertaken DU a large scale iu connection with the weaving industries. Unvulcauized India rubber is by QC means waterproof. Boiled plates Df rubber were found to be capable ol taking up in two hours from 8 to 35 per cent, of water at 6f) degrees centi grade, the absorption increasing with the degree of compression, and a piene Df best Para rubber kept under the water at 50 degrees was nothing but o mass of slime in two months. Gas liquor has been turned to a very useful account at Cnzzios, iu Prauce. Beet root would not grow in the fields because they had become infected with a beet loot parasite, but with one application of the gas liquor 15 tons of beet root per acre, with 14 per cent, of sugar, four splendid crops af cereals were obtained, and in an other set of trials using gas liquor ouly, four successful crops of more than 24 tons to the acre and a fifth of over 16 tons were secured. Professor Francis Gotch describes the electric fish of the Nile, of which the Egyptians made pictures thousands of years ago, and which still inhabits the waters of that river, ns being pro vided with an electrical organ that en closes the whyle body. It is situated in the skin, and when viewed with a microscope, is seau to be composed of about 2,000,000 beautifully formed little disks, superposed upon connected rows of minute compartments in which are the terminals of nerves. The shock is produced by an intense cur rent which traverses the entire organ from the head to the tail of the fish, returning through the surroundings. It stuns small fish in the neighbor hood. Professor Gotch likens its action to that of a self-loading and self-discharging gun. The electro motive force of the organ in a fish only eight inches long can, he asserts, attain the surprising maximum of 201) volts. A single giant nerve-cell at the head of the spinal column is the source of the impulses which dis charge the organ. CHEMISTRY IN MODERN LIFE. The Bulky, Xnttgeouf) Draughts of Olden Time Replaced. The disinfection of the sick room and the antiseptic methods which go far toward the creation of modern surgery all depend upon chemical products whose long list increase l year by year. Crude drugs are now replaced by active principles discov ered in the laboratory —morphine, quinine and the like—and instead of the bulky, nauseous draughts of olden time, the invalid is given tasteless capsules of gelatin or com pressed tablets of uniform strength and more accurately graded power. A great part of physiology consis s of the study of chemical pro cesses, the transformation of com pounds within the living organism, and practically all this advance is the creation of the nineteenth century. Modern bacteriology, at least in its practical applications, began with a chemical discussiou between Liebeg and Pasteur as to the nature of fer mentation; step by step the field of exploration has enlarged; as the re sult of the investigations we have preventive medicine, more perfect sanitation aud antiseptic surgery. The ptoinaues which will cause dis ease and the autitoxins which preveut it are alike chemical iu their nature, and were discovered by chemical methods. Physiology without chem istry could not exist; even the plien ouema of respiration were meaning less before the discovery of oxygen. The human body is a chemical labora tory, and without the aid of the chemist its mysteries can not be un raveled.—Prof. F. W. Clarke, in Ap pletons' Popular Sciouce Monthly. Polo and War. The cheerful and undaunted spirit that can play polo at such trying times is doubtless admirable, but nil the same after the war is over, or possibly before, the British may ask themselves whether this universally cultivated love of outdoor amusement so excellent in itself, has not beeu largely responsible for the inferior professional trainiug unquestionably hampering the British military lead ers. Has there not beeu too ntm-b polo, or other things of its kind? Has not civilian play tukou time that should have been given to military work? And has not play filled t-Le minds of its votaries in the British army with thoughts of cups aud matches and how to wiu the:n, iu stead of with the serious problems which soldiers must expect to meet and be trained to solve? We inclin ■ to think it has. We are satisfied that the B itin'i army would today be a vastly mora efficient fighting machine than i. it* officers there had been less polo and mora "hav-foot. straw-foot."
