SOMETHING NEW.
Showing a Few Lessons'in
the Humane Kindergarten.
The gossips nay that the'fctft".h *is
ya ball :i::cl that statement *Hll <1<>
lor a mere hard fact. Hut ever
since electricity girdled U, it has
1,-m to the iiutilul vision a vast
] lain, with an extent of two liuii-
S tired million square miles, lrom the
verj center of wlncli rise* a high
mountain from whose very top the
si"T may < 1 ai 1 y observe the whole.
Willi such an area for observa-
lion, it woultl be strange 'if lltei"'
were not always something notable
to report, and this morning wliat
especially catches our eye is a point
in the city of New York. There
lives in that city a lady who is not
only a lover of animals, bill willing
to work and nntke personal sacrifice*
\ to show her affection. So great
has always been her sympathy w'ith
horsus especially, that, speaking ill
the metaphorical sense common to
poets (ami are not lovers and phil-
anthropists poets?) she laughingly
declare? that she ••born iu a
stable."
This lady, Mrs. Myles Standish,
having a country place in the Berk-
shire Hills, was especially impressed
by the thought!*** and fll-bisiructed
treatment of h< rs<w among the rich,
and casting about 'for some means
for helping Umpire was inspired to
gather some of the boys of the
neighborhood into her own stable
v and instruct them in the needs and
proper treatment of these good
t rieuds of man.
The experiment was successful,
and, as every idea with life in it
may grow, this small beginning
became a movement in New York,
' w hich has lor its aim the conversion
to humane methods of thinking and
acting, of the entire generation.
This movement lias nothing to do
with schools; its founder and Iter
helpers may be said to have simply
gone into the streets, picked up the
children and organized them into an
army of workers under the name of
"Our Animal Protective League."
This army is divided into chapters,
o( which the latest. Report describe*
' seventeen with such names as, "Ti-
ger Chapter", ''Young Defenders/'
"Knights of the Round Table,"
"Dewey Chapter," "Lioness Chap-
ter" (this chapter consisting of girls)
and, beautil'il to relate, there in a
"Deaf-Mutes Chapter."
Each chapter has a grown person
to lead it, so that it is thoroughly
organized and managed, with regu*
lar meetings and much enthusiasm.
Indeed, in the Report it is stated
that "Many thousands could atonoe
be added to the membership of the
League, but they could not yet be
taken care of or properly organized.
In the meantime, the League seeks
to make eyery chapter member a
responsible, active and expert force
> in practicing and spreading kindness
to animals. Every member; betides
having a thorough training in gen*
eral humane methods, the oare of
dogs, eats, etc., is taught by actual
demonstration all the points of bar
ness and harnessing, and is on the
alert for tight check-reins, improp-
erly adjusted harness, and badly
shod horses, ?t the same time seek-
ing courteously to have the fault
ing it. where possible.
Into this Leig'iu are imported all
vorts of elements ot interest, which
setm to make of each chapter a real
Club; and m ithin it are a Baseball
C-l ub with a number of teams, aK-ilce
Club under direction of Mr. Henry
Burleigh, soloist at St. George's, a
Scrap Book Committee which pastes
animal's pictures into books and
presents tlieiu-to th-e children's hos-
pitals. And there is a Swimming
Club. A "Field Club" if to make
nature studies 111 the country in
summer outings.
Actually, the Chapters expect to
camp out tor some weeks this sum-
mer! This organization costs some-
thing. Besides a great deal ot
work, there was expended for it last
year over live thousand, live hun-
dred dollars.
These children are, according to
tlie proverb, the fathers (and moth-
ers) of a very large -wimiiber oft the
coming men and women <<" New
York. Are tl:t;V not certain to be a
real factor in falsing the grade of
its civilization?
Is there any city with a popula-
tion too highly humanized to need
this influence?

ONE ON HIM.
We would suggest to all young
men that it is well t« not 3llow their
minds to wander when they are
travelling as salesmen, or aroengag-
ed in business ol like nature. Many
times this is a great financial disad-
vantage; lor, sometimes even a
young lady will so distract the mind
of a young man, for the time being,
that he will lose sight of the real
object of his errand. We heard of
a young man not long since, who
was selling strawberries in the i 111
mediate neighborhood of the I'hkss
office, who became so absorbed
contemplating on the bliss of the
moment, that he forgot to collect.
Foung men, don't be "carried
awav."

Disinfection of Clothing and Bedding
The cheapest and best way of
disinfecting clothing aud bedding,
which is not injured by the ordinary
operation of the laundry, is to mi
merse it in boiling water for half an
hour or longer. It should be placed
in boiling water as soon as removed
from the person or bed of the sick;
and if it is necessary to remove the
article from the room in order to
accomplish this, they should be
wrapped in a sheet or a towel thor-
oughly saturated with a disinfective
solution. If it is impracticable to
disinfect such infected clothing aud
bedding immediately by boiling, it
will be necessary to immerse it in
one of the following disinfecting
solutions; Mercuric Chloride, 1 of
2,000; or the Blue solution of this
salt and sulphate of copper. Dilute
by adding two fluid ounces of the
concentrated solution to a gallon of
water; or a 2 per cent solution of
carbolic acid. This is advisable to
do by every patient.

In suspending hearings before
himself and the Assistant Commiss-
ioner for July and August the Com-
missioner of Patents displayed an

that will injure his reputation as an

the railroad company could not have

Since mail carriers were changed
the mails arrive 011 time at this

obliged to wait several hours for
their mail.
E. F. Anderson returned Tuesday

From them we learn that Miss Eth-

KANSAS DRY WEATHER.
"FolkN are kicking about the dry-
weather here id Missouri," said Al-
eck Powell the other day; why it
ain't a patching to what they used
to have in Kansas. There have been
tunes so dry 111 the western part of
the state that you would have to
soak a hog over night before he
would hold swill. There are places
out there water is wet only on one
side. I know one place where the
owner of a ferry boat hauls most of
the time to keep his boat running.
Water is so scarce in some parts that
men won't drink it. Why, they
used te have to run a well thrnugh
a wringer to get enough water for
coffee!"
Some of Mr. Powell's statements
are so uncommon that one would
hardly believe them if he were not
generally known to be strictly truth
tul Ex.
That we buy as well as sell out-
ide the U. S. is shown by the fact
that we paid in 1(100 for imported
lgricultural products the tidy sum
of *4'->0,000,000.
If every battleship constructed
continues to break the speed record,
as they have done for some time, we
shall eventually have something
very swift in that line.
Dowie, the humbug now posing
in Chicago as Elijah, is preaching
an early end of the world, but he
still insists upon taking up a col-
lection at every meeting.
The last Filipino general has sur-
rendered himself aud his forces,
and the only rebellion against Old
Glory now is that in the meeting
room of the Boston "aunties."
Senator Depew has no reason to
feel chagrined. He did the country
a service by giving President Mc-
Kinley a quickly grasped opportuni-
ty to lay the third-term ghost for
good and all.
The expected has happened. A
New York preacher has jumped on
Andrew Carnegie, for his library
aud educational donations. And
another has been throwing boquets
at Glover Cleveland.

We don't suppose that Seuator
Elkius meant to tread 011 any par-
ticular toes when he said that the
next republican candidate for Presi-
dent would not be a Senator. So
many Senators are considered possi-
ble candidates that his remarks can-
not be considered personal.
