§-SHSrI. MBMNMNP Knitting a Mfldlclna. Knitting is declared by specialists In vthe treatment of rheumatism to be a most helpful exercise for hands liable to become stiff from the complaint, and it is being prescribed by physicians be cause of its efficacy in Umbering up the Lands of such sufferers, says Woman's Life. For persons liable to cramp, paralysis, or any other affection of the fingers of that character, knitting is regarded as a most beneficial exer cise. Besides, the simple work is said to be an excellent diversion for the r.erves, and is recommended to women suffering from insomnia and depres sion. In certain sanitariums patients are encouraged to make use of the bright steels, and the work Is so pleas ant that it is much enjoyed by them. Teachem' Lot in Knclnnd. An English writer, speaking of the L opportunities for educated women In the professions in that country, says that most of the women graduates of the universities go into secretaryships or teaching. For the former they need to know German, French, Italian, sten orgraphy and typewriting and SSOO a year is the average salary. But, he says, the girl who secures a post as secretary Is as a rule to be envied, com pared to the fate that awaits her as a teacher. The work is trying, the pay poor and the narrowmindedness that surrounds it pitiable. In proof, he instances the fact that a teacher In a high school was asked to resign, be cause a play of hers had been acted, and in consequence her picture had been published in several of the pa pers. Ail to Approprltite L To wear gowns trimmed with lace 2 and embroidery in cars and on steam boats, skirts made so long that they trail in the dust, anu when held up show petticoats covered with lace, does not constitute a good style of dress, and never will, no matter how many dollars are expended. For travelling, for walking, for shopping, and for go ifg about in the morning, the smartest fown for early autumn is the light weight woollen. Of course ail the walking gowns must be made short, short enough to clear the ground and at the same time to hide the feet —a perfectly pos sible combination, as was discovered by the leading Frencn dressmakers last winter. The trimming on the short skirt 3 should be all in long up and-down lines. —Harper's Bazar. Milk a noßlltlfler. i "I seem to be growing so plain," W walled a young woman.

Daring Panties of Color, "Hie combination of blue and green, the most daring of the season, is an other cause of controversy. Daring as it may seem, the mixture of blue with bright green has been exceedingly suc cessful, but its opponents claiffi that it Is an eccentric, inartistic combination and maintain that the vivid shade of green is only harmoniously possible with white, black, or a pale tobacco brown which has just come into vogue. The tendency toward freakish bright colors which marked the beglnalng of the season is giving way before the subdued tones which are now being in troduced. Undecided changaeble shades are securing the preferences, according to the Chicago Tribune. The latter effects are secured by placing one color over another. Of the most effective of the changeable combina tions are blue and mauve, and green and gray. The latter in particular is t > altogether charming. Ecru and rose is another effective melange and white and pale blue give a nondescript tone which is decidedly attractive. lowa Woman rhyilclana. In The Woman's Medical Journal is a sketch of the lowa State society of Medical Women, the oldest, if not the only, state medical society of women. Dr. Jennie McComen, of Davenport, the writer, speaking of the status of the women of the profession in lowa, has the following to say: r "The medical profession of lowa is noted for its justice, courtesy and liber ality toward women practitioners. Not only are they freely admitted to all medical societies, but are acceptably occupying official -positions of all 4 kinds; are sent as delegates from local to state, and from state to national 1 societies. In 1893 lowa was represent ed in the Pan-American congress by a woman. The state hospitals for in sane include a woman on the medical staff, the first, appointment of this kind having been made in 1873, 29 years ago. The majority of the general hos pitals have or.e or more women on the active or consulting staff.^ "The lowa Stats medical reporter aa early as 1895 had a women on the edi torial staff in charge of a department devoted to medico-legal questions and neurology. In 1895 The lowa Medical Journal added to its staff a woman col laborator in obstetrics. "The medical, pharmaceutical and dental schools are coeducational, and ithere is no part of the state, so far as we know, where educated and capable women are not received by their broth ers in the healing art on terms of perfect professional equality." About Gloves. In buying gloves there are more im portant considerations than their color and the number of buttons. Black gloves are generally less elastic than white or colored ones, and cheap grades are dear at any price, says Woman's Life. Dressed kid usually retains its fresh ness longer, and is more durable than suede. The best and most serviceable kid is soft, yielding and elastic. A glove so small that it cramps the hands and prevents grace of motion gives poor service. Short-fingered gloves are ugly, and certain to break soon between the fingers, if not at their tips. The way In which a glove is first drawn on and shaped to the hand has much to do with both its beauty and durability. Unless you have ample time, do not have them fitted at the shop, but at leisure draw them on as here recommended, and, if possible, wear them half an hour without clos ing the fingers. When the hands are at all moist, they should be powdered. Insert all the fingers, and work them on evenly, leaving the thumb loose until the fin gers are fully in place. Then insert the thumb, and work the glove down smoothly over the hand, keeping the seems in their proper position. In buttoning a glove the greatest strain comes upon the first button, so before attempting to fasten this, but ton the others, commencing with the second one, then the ethers, lastly the first Do not begin at the tips of the fin gers to pull them off. Turn back the wrists and draw them off inside out, but on no consideration leave them in this shape, or roll them. Turn them right side out, smooth lengthwise, and put away by themselves with a strip of flannel under and between them. A glove mender of wood, celuloid or silver, in the shape of a finger, should be in every sewing basket, as well as glove thread in a variety of colors and shades. The seams of gloves should be rostitched as soon as a stitch breaks, using fine cotton, never silk. To mend a tear, buttonhole stitch closely around the edges once or twice, as the size of the rent may require, and then join the edges to gether. Save the buttons from discarded gloves to replace lost ones. They often match perfectly. A Kride'4 Troniioan. I will offer some suggestions for the trousseau of a bride of fairly good cir cumstances, who expects to enter into social life, and from this list may bo selected what may suit individual needs or preferences. The wedding gown may be of silk, satin or crepe de Chine, these materials being appro priate at this season, it should be high in the neck, and if made with a yoke of lace which may be detached it can be altered afterward for evening enter tainments. One or two evening dresses might be desired, and if one is of black net or lace it will be very useful. An evening wrap would be necessary. A plain, tailor-made cloth gown for traveling, shopping and street wear; another gown of handsome cloth for visiting, luncheons and receptions. A pretty dress for days at home may be of pale-gray cloth, or crepe de Chine or cashmere, high In the neck. Two house dresses would seem essential. Several waists of silk and of flannel should be chosen. Dressing jackets of Bilk or flannel, and a lounging gown of cashmere or silk, trimmed with fur, may he added, these to be worn in one's bedroom, be it understood and not else where. It is not the fashion now to buy doz ens of undergarments and put them away, as they are apt to turn yellow if net used. Eight of each kind of un dergarments would be a very moderate supply, and this would include eight each of night dresses, drawers, chemises, corset-covers, skirts, short white and flannel skirts and under skirts of silk or wool. Shoes, slippers, corsets, gloves, hats, nd an umbrella should be in the list, aud as many doz en handkerchiefs and stockings as can be afforded. Two silk underskirts would be found useful. The household linen should also be supplied by a bride's parents. If there cannot be a very large outlay there should be at least a certain amount expended for this purpose. Six sheets, six pillow and bolster cases, two pairs of pillow shams and four spreads should be allowed for each bed. An ornamental coverlet of col ored silk or embroidered linen is a charming possession. Four dozen tow els would be a moderate supply. Six table cloths and four or six dozen nap kins, large and small, would be needed, and one handsome table cloth, with napkins to match, for dinner parties. A few embroidered center-pieces and a dozen or two dainty doilies are at tractive additions. The bride whose parents can give the small silver and some furniture, china and glass is well provided for starting housekeeping. —The Delinea tor.

Ffln*Atlona of Ttmte and Sight Conveyed from the Operator to the Ilypnotil'd tubjeet through the Medlnin of a third I'arty lleal Source Shown. French science has not shown itself kindly toward experiments in the transmission of thought, or telepathy, writes the Paris correspondent of the Boston Transcript. At last, however, a professor in the Elcoe do Psycholo gic—a private but reputable school of Paris —has published certain positive results obtained by him in March of the present year. His experiments are noteworthy for two reasons: 1. The experimenter, Dr. BinebSan gle, is a competent and responsible man of science. It is difficult to sup pose illusion or deception on his part, or from his few chosen assistants. 2. The results, while modest, are positive, easily understood as to facts, and making possible a scientific hy pothesis, without excluding further re sults and corresponding speculation. This is all that can be demanded of science worthy of the name. The experiments were carried on at Angers, where Dr. Binct-Sangle had two subjects of the proper nervous susceptibility. It was his habit to make one hypnotize the other. The first three experiments were made the same day. The receiving subject, Mme. M., is a woman of 55, easily hyp notized. She was put to sleep by the transmitting subject, M. 0., who was not himself hypnotized. TIJo foom was large and the doctor stood beside M. 0., at a distance from Mme. M. of 16 feet. The eyes of Mme. M. were carefully covered with a cloth, al though the possibility of seeing would have scarcely aided her to guess what was wanted. Oil this day it was the experiment er's aim to transmit sensations from one subject to the other. Dr. Binet- Sangle began with the sense of taste. He placed on the tongue of M. O. a paper soaked in postasslc bioxalafo. Mme. M., at the other end of the room, made a movement of the mouth and exclaimed: "It bites —It's bad!" The same result was obtained with bro mide of ammonium; she spat out, say ing, "It's salty!" The doctor put soap on the tongue of M. 0., Mme. M. an swered instantly, "It's insipid—-like starch." Next came the transmission of vis ual sensations. Mme. M., still in the hypnotic sleep, was seated at a table, and the doctor and M. O. took the same relative positions and distance as before. One of tho assistants stuck a paper knife at random into a book and opened it at a page, on which he chose the word "vulture." The word was not pronounced, nor was it shown to tho transmitting subject, M. 0., but only to Dr. Blnet-Sangle. The latter then drew on a piece of paper the head and neck only of a vulture, showed it to O. and asked him to transmit the sensation of what he saw to Mmo. M. After a few seconds "Mme. M. said: "It's a bird —it's fin odd bird; it has no wings;" and then, "It's a vulture." Another experiment was made with tne word "snail." It was the kind called "limace" in French, and only the drawing was shown to O. Mmo. M. said, "It's a 'limande' " (the namo of a bsh like a sole), and then, catch ing herself up, described it. "It creeps, it's slimy—oh, it's a snail!" Here the hypnotized subject had ev idently received two sensations —one, imperfect, of the word "limace," which some one (probably tho doctor) was articulating mentally; the other of the drawing, which it was intended to transmit through M, O. A third ex periment, equally perplexing, yet pos itive in its result, was made with the word "cross." Dr. Binet-Sangle drew a cross on a piece of paper, which he showed to M. O. Madame M., blind folded and 1C feet away, immediately drew two crosses, neither of which had the form drawn by the doctor. Now came the more difficult experi ments with words mentally articu lated by M. O. A book was opened as before and a line of poetry by Tlieophlle Gauthier was shown to O , with the request that he would read it mentally. Madame M. made only hesitating attempts to repeat it. O. asked the doctor to read mentally at the same time with himself. The line was: "Souffle, bise. Tombe a flots, pluie." (Blow, north wind. Fall in torrent 3, rain.) At last Madame M. managed to say "souffle" and then "bise;" but she could get no further. Another trial was made with the line: "he Dieu ne viendra pas. L'eglise est renversee." (God will not come. The church is overthrown.) Mme. M. pronounced the two words "In Dieu" and then, all together, "Le Dieu ne viendra pas"—but could go no further. In all these experiments it is diffi cult not to conclude that the thought of the experimenter, Dr. Sinot-Binet- Sangle, was transmitted along with that of M. O. Another series of experiments con cerned the transmitting of thought proper at a long distance. The re sults were still more complicated and significant. One of the assistants. M. ■T., had written beforehand to a friend in Bordeaux (about 200 miles from An gers in a straight line) to do. some thing—whatever he chose—at 10.00 of a fixed evening; and afterward to write just what he had done. At the hour of the evening which had been fixed, M. J. expressed to o. his desire to know what a fiiend of his was do- Ins at that tfcne in Bordeaux; he gave neither the riame of his friend nor the address. O. ordered Mme. M., who was hypnotized, to transport herself to Bordeaux and tell what she saw. Mme. M., without hesitation, began by saying that she saw in a cafe a brown-haired gentleman with another who was blond. Then she saw them go together to a newspaper office, where the brown-haired man left the other to go to the theatre. She could see no more. M. J., who knows Bordeaux well, asked if there was not a barber's shop just opposite the newspaper office. Mme. M. answered that she saw a shop closed, with antiquities inside it (there is an old curiosity shop beside the barber's). Mme. M. was asked to look again, and saw the brown-haired man once more in the newspaper of fice. When M. J. received the letter telling what had really been done at Bordeaux, his friend simply said that he had not left his room all that even ing! Now all that Mme. M. had said of the look and profession of the friend and the description of the places were exact; and the acts she attributed to him were what he was in the habit of doing at that time of the evening. And all this M. J. knew very well. It was then his own thought which had been transmitted at short distance across the room to Mme. M., while there had been no long distance transmission from Bordeaux to Angers. Dr. Binet-Sangle next tried Mme. M. with one of his own friends living in Paris. He gave the namo and address to 0., who ordered the hypnotized Mme. M. to see what was going on at the address. Mme. M. said that she passed under a great porte-cochere, saw a gentleman with a lady—but here the experimenter himself inter rupted her, to say that she was on the wrong track. She stopped and then broke out: 'How pretty it is here! Leather furniture, pictures—but the gentleman, what bad temper he has, he s not easy to get on with! But he's very fond of painting and he goes a great deal with artists!" "What is he doing at present?" asked Dr. Binet-Sangle. ' He is lying in his room, reading a yellow-covered book." Now all this was scrupulously exact in regard to the friend of the doctor in general; he was a young painter of great talent, but a hypochondriac. In particular, however, it was false; for the painter was not at home that evening and did not read in bed that night. But he had the habit of read ing there and the yellow-covered books of the Bibliotheque Charpentier wore on his chimney-piece ready to his hand. Also Dr. Binet-Sangle was well acquainted with all this and was think ing of it at the time. ICE ON THE MOON, An Interetinc Lnnnr Observation lte eenllv Made. Any one who happened to turn a telescope upon the moon early on the evening of Aug. 12 cannot have failed to observe a very rare lunar phenom enon and one which is of especial in terest from its bearing upon Professor W. H. Pickering's recently published views as to the existence of snow and ice on the moon's surface. The moon was a few hours past the llrst quarter, and the "terminator," which forum what is popularly known as the moon's "ragged edge" was slightly convex. Just outside this line, which separates the moon's illuminated from its unilluminatcd half, appeared, as usual, a number of detached islets, caused by the illumination of the sum mits of mountains while their base 3 are still involved in darkness. The phenomenon referred to was the re markable appearance of one of these "Islets." Instead of the usual white spot was to be seen a star —just such a star as Is produced by the reflection of the sun from a glass ball or other polished convex surface. The highest power of the telestcope used by a local observer failed to make out of this ob ject anything bub a star, which was estimated to be of about the third magnitude. The appearance cannot have been produced by diffused light coming from any object however white, even a snow-covered mountain peak illuminated by the sun would have appeared simply as a very bright spot, not as a star-like point. A star can have been produced under the circumstances only by the reflection of the sun's rays from a polished sur face. The lunar star was flrsit observe at about 7.30 P. M. In the course of a couple of hours its starlike appearance became less and less marked, and, as the terminator moved outward It re solved itself into a very brilliant spot Subsequently it was found that the light which produced this appearance tame from the side of one of the typical lunar "craters."

SOUTH AFRICA UNATTRACTIVE. Hot Many British Workmen Likely to fan There. The workingman does not willingly go to a country where a colored and depeendent race do the work, unless he is called to a position to supervise and direct them. There Is thus next to no scope for agricultural laborers in South Africa, and even mine workers go there as captains and leaders, and not as mere laborers. The progress of Natal Is a most strik ing illustration of the unattractiveness of South Africa, since it mffers from the inner table lands in naturally ad mitting a more varied agriculture and, being mainly a British colony, pre sents none of the difficulties which confront a British emigrant on enter ing among the Dutch-speaking people, with Dutch habits and Dutch customs. Yet Natal draws few immigrants from the United Kingdom, the total white population numbering only about 65,000, being less than the immigrants from British India who have come as traders as well as farm laborers, and again less than a twelfth part of the Zulu population, which has Increased under our rule to an extent provoking some anxiety respecting the future. It may he remembered in passing that the Natal whites themselves are jealous of the Indian immigrants. They have taken effective steps to prevent any further addition to their numbers. All this goes to show that, except so far as immigrants are drawn to the mining centers of the Rand, we must not expect any movement changing the character of the white population of South Africa. —North American Re view.

The suffocating flsh died. Darkies were hired to pitchfork them out upon the hank as they would throw hay, and lime was sprinkled on them. But this was slow and unsatisfactory, be cause they were six solid miles of flsh in that canal. Something had to he done, and it was proposed to cut 100 feet of levee and let In sufficient water to sweep the flsh Into the Gulf. Another proposition was to station a number of large tugs in the river near the looks and flush the canal by pump ing. I understand this latter plan was followed. —Forest and Stream. Nnw York Minneri Surprise I.oncloner. The ordinary Londoner who has not had the good fortune to cross the At lantic is wont to picture his American cousin wearing a goatee and a victim to the constant chewing of tobacco and liberal expectoration. On arriv ing in New York he is amazed to dis cover that the goatee is conspicuous by its absence, tobacco chewing un noticeable and expectoration practical ly unknown. In this respect he finds the New Yorker far more cleanly in his habits than the Londoner, more especially on public cars and in pub lic places. The unrestrained indul gence of spitting on and off the tops of 'buses and in railway trains, and the random chewing and smoking of tobacco in and around London are simply odious, and make traveling in tolerable and ofttimes disgusting even to a smoker. Here the stringent pro hibition against spitting in public places and the sensible regulation as to smoking are so thoroughly observed that traveling becomes a pleasure. If London would only copy the most ad mirable example existing in New York in this respect the English metropolis would soon be rid of a most unwarrant able and filthy habit. Paradise Cor II enters.

A Character Common to the German See* tlon of New York City. The regular and popular visitor to the German inns and taverns of the East Side is the sauerkraut man. He brings his calling with him from the old country', and finds a more profit able field in New York than in Berlin or Hamburg. His equipment is quite curious. He wears a blue or white apron running from his neck nearly to the ankles, and from his shoulders is suspended a circular metal box which goes hald around his waist. It has three large compartments, two of which goes half around his waist. It In one are well-cooked Frankfurter sausages, and in the other thoroughly boiled sauerkraut. In the third com partment is potato salad. He carries in his hand a basket in which are small plates and steel forks. One sau sage and a generous spoonful of sauer kraut and potatto salad cost five cents. All three articles are of good quality, well cooked and seasoned. He finds his best customers in the bowling al leys, where the exertion demanded by the game produces large appetites. Next to these are the taverns which, do not supply food with their drink. Last of all are the halls and meeting rooms where different societies as semble. His nightly stock consists of 50 sausages, seven pounds of souer kraut, and as much more of salad. On bad evenings he takes only half as much stock as on fair ones. Some of the more fortunate peddlers have ar rangements with clubs which pay them a very fair profit upon their goods. Others are free-lances who visit every place where they think they can effect a sale. The metal boxes are very ingenious and are made in Germany. The metal is some va riety of pewter, and the fitting of the compartments and of the entire affair to the body is very accurate. The cov ers are so well hinged and snug at the edges that when the owner falls down he is not liable to spill any of the contents. The contrivance costs some $3 in Germany, and about $5 in New York. A few of tho peddlers ap peal to educated palates and carry with them Cervelat, Bock, Reh, Leber wurst and Vienna, as well as Frank furters. These fancy sausages usu ally bring ten cents instead of the regulation five. The forks are washed after the cus tomer has finished his little meal, and from repeated cleansing and use are as bright as silver. The plates, on the other hand, are so banked and bruised that they might be asily mistaken for crackle ware. —New York Evening Post. An Incident in tho I.lfe of fnnfticiu*. It is told of Confucius, the founder of Chinese philosophy, who was born 551 B. C., and whoso Latinized name is made up from his family name "Kong" and hi 3 title "Hu Chu," which means "The Master," that once, while on a journey, he was waylaid by a po litical enemy who would not release him until he had promised that" he would not proceed to his destination. In spite of this promise, when Con fucius was released, he continued on his journey. When asked why he had broken his word, he replied: "It was a forced oath; the spirits do not hear such." Today, 25 centuries later, mendacity is universal among the many millions of Chinese who show no shame to be ing found out in a lie, for they say that their great teacher believed that lie which does no known evil is not wrong. Had Confucius known how many cen turies this remark of his would live, and how many generations of his countrymen would be harmed by it, he probably would have relinquished his journey and kept his promise, no matter at how great cost. The influ ence of this one precept has vitiated the strength of many of his exhorta tions to truthfulness, and has also menaced the system of Chinese ethlcs ; —Success. Where Strontium Is l'oiinn. In "Mineral Resources of the United States," just published by the Geolog ical Survey, Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt, of that bureau, says considerable in terest has been awakened in the occur rence of strontium minerals in this country, and a number of inquiries have been received regarding the lo calities where these minerals can be found. Dr. Pratt says that in the employ ment of this matter it is not the met al strontium which is used commer cially, but the salts therefrom. The salts are used in pyrotechnics for red fire, and also in very small quantities in medicine. Strontium oxide and strontium hydroxide are also used in the manufacture of beet sugar and mo lasses. If. appears that an occurrence of this mineral has been discovered in the state of West Virginia. It is lo cated near Cedar Cliff, Mineral coun ty. It is rare in this country, how ever, and only the slates of New York, Texas, Mich fan, Ohio, Penn sylvania, Colorado and West Virginia produce it, and even then in very small quantity. Nearly all the strontium salts used in the United States are im ported from Germany. What Adv.rtl.lnß la.
