INDIA’S FA! HER DAMIEN.

Werk Among the Lepers That Has Pro- duced Good Results.

Valuable work is being done by de- voted Catholic priests among the lepers of Burmah, the London Time. The annexation of Upper Burmah it 1886 revealed a terrible need for succc * to this unhappy class. Bishop Simo , Rr. C., addressel the officials on ti: subject within two years after th: country passed under British rule, bit it was not until 1891 that Father Jc- hann Wehinger was able to found the £t. John’s Leper Asylum on a gratt of six acres near Mandalay.

In Kurmah, lepers are not forbidden to frequent public places and are not

says

separated from their families, as i! india. They lie at the gates of the

temples, in the food bazars and on the sides of the bridges, whaere they ex- pose their hideously-mutilated limbs to excite compassio: and obtain alms. An asylum for these miserable objects hailed with gratitude. In two days after it op»»ed the wards wer crowded and new buildings had to Le commenced.

Father Wehinger has made the in- stitution a model for all leper asylums —with a perfect system of hygiene and rmeasures for the alleviation or even curative treatmen: of the disease, sep-

We has been in England lately, seek- ing aid to enable him to go on with his work. It is a work which can most «effectively be done by celibate breth- ren. without the responsibility of wife er possible children to whom the dis- ease might be communicated. Johanna Wehinger is the Father Damien of In- dia.

The Schools of Paris, for smaller children there are what are called maternal schools. These are like our kindergartens. Attendance is not compulsory, but it free. From £0,000 to 60,000 little pupils attend these. The abrupt transition from the ten- der guidance of the teachers of the

maternal schools is bridged over by |

the infantile schools. These are for dimid, sensitive or backward children from 6 to 8 years old.

One hundred and fifty physicians visit all of the schools regularly and frequently. They report on sanitary eonditions, cases of contagious dis- eases and children who need medical attendance. Medical school dispens- aries and school baths have recently been established.

Children whose parents are away from home at work all day are cared for til] night and then safely delivered to their homes.

A warm noon meal is provided for those poor children who would other- wise have little or nothing to eat dur- ing a school day. The children of the better class, who are able to pay, are charged 10 centimes (two American cents) a meal. A uniform ticket sys- tem is used so that the children fed gratuitously cannot be distinguished from those who pay.

Shoes and clothing are given to the children who necd them and all are decently and comfortably clothed. Ev- ery year theh city council votes a large sum of money to be used for school vacation trips.

All that self-,

those that will wash and those that will not. Boiling will generally re- move grease from a washing material Perspiration (animal stain) is some- times hard to remove from linen. If it is there after a good boil, rub both sides with yellow soap, tie a piece of pearlash in the linen and boil again. Expose the material to sun and alr, and it will positively disappear. Dits- colored linen must be treated as grease Stained. The dirty appearance that “white clothes” will assume after a se- ries of “dab washings” as the laun- dress calls it, or the yellow tint it gains by being laid by can be remedied by Steeping in water to which has been added turpentine, one tablespoonful to the gallon. Boil as directed and re- peat if necessary.

Tea stains, if treated immediately, can be removed by pouring boiling Water and then washea as usual. If ary, treat as a fruit stain.

Hartshorn will remove fruit stafns. Turpentine will remove ironmould, as well as grease. Ammonia will remove

grease. Chloride of lime, if sparingly used, is useful in the laundry. It should be steeped and the water

strained through muslin to clear It from “bubbles.” If any of the lime escapes to the material it burns a hole. Many laundries habitually use chloride of lime, hence clothes sent out wear out sooner than those washed at home. They use it instead of boiling, considering it quicker and handler.

Salts of lemon and oxalic acid re- move ironmould and ink. Cover the stain with the powder, hold the cloth over a vessel, and pour boiling water through, then wash in the usual way.

Ink stains, if not dry, may be cov- ered with powdered starch, moistened with milk. Leave aside for a time before washing.

Fruit or wine stains, if not dry, may he removed by rubbing in salt and then pouring on boiling water. If dry, chloride of lime, strained as directed, is effectual and harmless.

Powdered French chalk will absorb grease from cloth. Place the stained part over a hot iron, cover with the chalk, rub off with a clean rag, and repeat till the stain is removed. Blot- ting paper answers the same purpose as French chalk.—The Princess.

Litest Fa hion Hints.

Sleeves are showing many changes. They are less stiff and more graceful, but as yet there is no change in the amount of space they occupy. The puff, however,is steadily moving nearer the elbow. In a few of the early im- perted spring frocks the lower pari of the sleeves displays a mass of wrink- les, while the upper part falls in a drooping puff. This style of sleeve is becoming only to a slender woman.

A gown of old-blue satin, with bodice of chameleon velvet, has a Bolero jecket outlined with pleatings of white satin, a soft sash of white encircles the waist and is loosely knotted at the left side. The collar is of velvet with a pleating of the satin standing straight out around the top and two Icops of the velvet at the back.

It is not strictly necessary to receive your afternoon visitors in a gown de- sigred for that especial purpose, but it is certainly a pretty courtesy and @ very becoming one to use some sort

wear in the street.

The announcement that the bustle will be worn this spring means that there are sure to be many important changes in the new fashions. Already many of these changes may be seen in an embryo state.

For house wear the apron will be much worn. For years it has been secrned by the woman of fashion, but now it is here, and the stamp of popu- lar approval has been placed upon it.

AN ¥-‘Ity in Portieres.

Old red jeans make charming cur- tains for the dining room—effective and “ery inexpensive. Buy a few yards of black velveteen, have this stamped in large, conventional designs, cut then out and applique them neatly on to the jean by means of strong glue whicr comes expressly for fancy work. Out line these “brocades’” with some nar- row gold cord and you will have @ strikingly handsome material for your portieres, material which might easily pass for being worth $3 or $4 a yard. A border of the velveteen across the top will add to its appearance,—Detroit Free Press. |

Something of a new record was es- ! tablished by thieves in Adams County, Washington, last week. They stole a big barn belonging to the County Auditor, pulling it down during the night. loading it on wagons and haul- ing it to parts as yet unknown.

The Right Word.

Why catsup. Nearly every bottle which comes from a public manufac- turer is emblazoned with that spell- ing. Wrong. Ketchup is the word, It is a corruption of the Japanese word kitjap, which is a condiment somewhat similar to soy. It is a pick-me-up; a stirrer of the digestive organs; a ketch- me up: and hence its application to the raingling of tomatoes and spices whose name, it should bear.—Philadelphia Times.

Nervous Prostration.

Cured effectually by Scott's Sarsapariila.

His heart was affected.

“Overwork as a student at college brought on an attack of nervous prostra- tion,” says Mr. Gilbert, a_ railway missionary. ‘‘1l was exceedingly ner- vous and if I exerted myself my heart commenced to flutter violently, and I was warned that even ordinary efercise en- dangered my life. But thanks to Scott’s Sarsaparilla I feel better than I ever ex-

cate feel, for I can now address a meeting without effort, can waik a brisk ace for two hours or more without ex- Poustion and am free from that distressing palpitation, In my work I have often- time recommended Scott's Sarsaparilla, and have seen many cases where its effects have been most marked.”

Scott’s Sarsaparilla acts like magic in restoving shattered nerves because it re- builds the nervecentres. Nervous head- ache, nervous dyspepsia and all nerye derangements wear on the system. Scott’s Sarsaparilla r akes new blood and muscles ani strong nerves. Of all drug- gists, $1 per bottle. Dose from half te

AN ANSWER TO HONESTY, Sir,—TI notice a con munication in the Weekly Patriot of 13th inst., concern ng the railway meet'ng held at Vernon River Bridge Hall on the 6th inst., and signed “Honesty.” This letter has alrealy b-en answered in 2 late issue of THe Examiner. But as I was secretary of the above meei- ing, I feel it my duty not ty let that scribe pass without letting the people krow his statements are false.

1. He attacks Mr. A. Martin, Libera] Conservative candidate for East Queen’s a3 being unpopular. As for this the peop'e who are acquainted with Mr. Martin know better than [ can expla that such is no the case. All perr-o:s who were at the above meeting know that in Mr. Martin’: epeech party p slitics were not nentioned.

2. Hene-ty seers to Mr. Jos. Furness’ syxeech, and tay-: ~*He contented that we did not want a railroad at all” He mar have contended what he liked, but I an glai he failed to show hi rea-on for wanting a railroad from Southport to Mar- ray Harbor. “Honesty” yes further and tres tomake the people lLelieve that Mr Furness raid: “He knew from per-onal conversation with the leeder of the meet- ing, that they did not wart a railroad.’ Th:s statement was not med- by Mr. Far- ness, bat by “HH. nesty” bimeelf,— neither is the stata» ert trne,

3. He refer- to tue an lierce being «mall acd mostly boy-. another of hi- untru hs a- the meeiing was fairly well attended, and i am -ure it was In ger thar might have been expected, taking inte in consideration the state of the roads

Now, he mentions something ahout the curtain falling. Judging from his letter, me would think he must have been sit ing behind some obstacle that dimmed his sight when he could tee everything in such a different light 10 the majority of those present. But perhaps he got his sight damaged when dealing out Pari> green for the “Peters Comine.”
