As china has now developed Into an" art the china closet has become a part of the furnishing' of the dining-room. At each comer, in well appointed houses, these quaint cupboards have a wonderful, picturesque effect and add much to the decorations of this room. Of wood, the curly birch or ash with bra-sa furnishings Is considered by artistic people to be the best. In one house where some artiste live the lower shelves of these cupboards, which are closed by a wooden door, have a quaint motto in brass, which adds to their clever ornamentation. And the glass part of these good, useful and delightful decorative bits extends almost to the broad ftv Zi of the wall paper. of china the Copenhagen ware Is the m ,.-t expensive. It is a wonderful blue, which is of slate color effect. The brown Kin vs i wj r-i r:-vvsi Doulton pitcher, with its queer lettering, its designs of odd figures and its flowery wreaths in tones of creams, is great for Hhe pretty china closet. The chocolate rot, whlcn is of every design and shape, can be purchased for from $3 to the low price of $1.50. and yet every one is a mode, of the china maker's skill. As a good background for this decorative affair two or three good fish or dessert plates will show off admirably well if placed securely by a fair sized tack against the back of the shelf. Ia these, dainty closets the cracker jar and chees plate should be always on hand. At a supper given in an artistic diningroom not long ago the china closet was a erymphony m blua. The nankeen china being the scheme, every piece from the glass front presented to the eye a series of Chinese picture. wi;h their pag.rda effects and peculiar forms so distinct with these people. If the china closet i3 a low one, on its top there should be a stutwting vas either in Mexican or South American pottery, or a fine piece of Japanese rockwood will d-o excellent duty. These colors of terra coita or browns are admirably suited for a high place and are in accord with all the china within the ehelves. Many of these closet? have silk curtains fastened byenJs to a brass rod. Of the new silks the variety Ls endless. There are delicate preens of a cashmere pattern, which, for this purpose, is a poem in silk. Then there are tjee effects, one stripe of It in apple gre?n, with an alternative etripe in lace, the crinkled, variegated material 'being the most p rRonus, but any simple drapery will do if the curtain design is wanted. - - To secure a fine decorative bit all tones in china for a closet should be complementary use pink very sparingly, red but seldom. Delicate tints in which gilt has a good share are the proper caper for that pretty china closet. Cut glass always is a fine scrum? ia small pieces, which, if rightly plaer-d. will add every time to this cupbnrd and enhance its brilliancy. X. Y. Recorder.

I mean the beauty of Its wome.i, "who. are still naive or wise enough to wear thj little Arlesian. cap and voluminous fichu. Of course they have always been famous fcr loveliness all over the world, yet nothing in other parts of the world will have he'.ped you to imagine them. The type is peculiar to Provence, much more delicate than Italian types, the very dark eyes and hair contrasting with the whitest of skins, a spirited and yet an extremely poetic type, and so reline. 1. so aristocratic, that its charm is not lost in old ass.-. .Nevertheless not the type itself, but th frequency of its perfect presentation, is the most surprising, the nmst delightful fact. Here an usly woman, a commonplace looking girl, is the exception. Where five or six are gathered together three at least will be beauties, an! the others will ba comely. Surely if these people re as Creek as they like to think the sculptors of ancient Greece needed their imaginations less than we are are accustomed to

think. Scores of times I cried to myself. "This one is the most beautiful of all. Hut best of all l now remember a girl who. with the true Arlesian face, had unbelievable riches of red hair. She was more beautiful than, in our unequal world, any woman has any right tc be. It was bearable to look at her only because one felt that very likely every man and woman in Aries, including her splendid self, thought the redness of her hair distressingly unfortunate. Mrs. Schuyler Van Rensselaer in Century. What of Woman's Fntnref Several scientists have recently written articles to prove that within a century women will be taller, heavier and stronger than imen, and that the position toward women that men have occupied in the past will be almost reversed. The developments of the last hilf century' do to a certain extent point in the direction of this theory. It is nt sa many years since th? sight of a woman walking with a mm shorter than herself attracted attention sa much thit both th? short man and the tall wornr were reluctant to appear in public. Xow th? sight is so common that on av fishionable thoroughfare many, if nor half, the women are taller than th? men. The modern girl has none of the bad habits of the minlern man. She does not drink cocktails, ymokc incessant cigarette!, play poker until all hours of the night and engage in the modern forms of dissipation. She is too closely watched f er that. The system of advanced chanermage holds her. as 1: does the French girl, in a close, watchful grip, which does no; relax until after matrimony. Hut on the man no such restraints are thrown. He is loose to look after himself at an age when girls have not put up their hair and been fiUed with their first decollete gown. It is true that this process has its effect on young married women in the sudden freedom from restraint nnd the entire change of hfe which It brings to them, but by that time their physical habits are form d. and thev have their growth.

THE CURE OP DIPHTHERIA.

J TIIK IIACTERIA ARU ItEXDKHKl) HARMLESS. Mankind Will Rejoice The Netrly Dinrorered Lymph Starre the ISnc(eria to Death It Efllcney I 'fnceded hy the IliKtient Medlcnl Authorities. The cure for diphtheria, discovered by Prof. Behring cf the University of Halle, seems to have passed the experiment! stage, and the highest medlcil authorities now concede its wonderful efficacy. The French budget committee has recommended a government appropriation of 100.000 francs for the purchase of serum to be distributed among the hospitals of France. Perlin has taken steps t3 obtain a supply for all its hospitals, while in Vienna, Dresden and other continental cities the treatment ha.s already been adopted. In Xew York, too, the remedy will soon be in use. Health Commissioner Dr. Cyrus Eds on having declared his belief that it is the moat remarkable discovery on record in therapeutic medicine. Prof. Behring began in 1S90 the experiments that resulted In his discoveryHe is a disciple of Prof. Koch, whose experiments with lymph for the cure of consumption attracted the attention of the whole world a 'fiV years ago. Prof. Loftier, another disciple of Koch, had already discovered the bacillus that produces diphtheria, and an army of investigators was at work upon the line of inquiry previously followed by Pasteur, trying to :urn the dls-overy to practical use. Pasteur's Inoculation meth xl was based upon the theory that the bacteria must be weakened befon being introduced into the blood, as otherwise death and not immunity from tha disease would ensue. The Investigators of the diphtheria bacillus only succeeded (in elucidating that not only the bacilla tliomselvc-s produce the malady, bu; that the liquid in which they have been cultivated has the same effect even though it contain not a single animalcule. This discovery was made by Dr. Koux of Paris. Taking It as a starting point. Prof. Behring began the series of experiments that led to his great achievement. Instead of leveling his attack against the bacteria, he decided to leave them in peace and to paralyze their action by rendering th3 soil in which they work barren, by imparting to the blood qualities which would render them innocuous. According to tha theory of predisposition to disease, upon which much light has been thrown by Dr. Wassermann of Berlin, not only are the bacteria not absolutely necessary for the production of the disease, but their presence is by no means a proof that It exists. Xumbers of perfectly healthy persons have been found to have diphtherial bacteria in their blood without suffering any inconvenience. What is the explanation of this curious fact? Simply that they pavass In their blood1 the antidote to the- poison. Xow, this immunity Is not Inborn, inherited. It Is acquired, and is, therefore, a characteristic of old people to a much greater exten: than of the young. To confer It by artificial means was therefore the problem to be solved. Prof. Itehring's first experiments were made on guinea pigs. He found that the poisonous virus, if Injected into the blood in small quantities, is harmless. Then ne tried the effect of gradually Increasing the doses, with the same result, and at last he injected bacteria enough to kill a number of uninoculated animals into one guinea pig, and it remained as healthy ard brisk as before. Prof. Pehring th-n advanced a step further, and discovered that, as bacteria are not necessary to cause the disease, neither are they needed in order to render the organism proof against it. As tho infection may lie in the fluid in which they were cultivated, so the antidote may be sought for In th blood of the aailmal insulated, and he found by experiment that such is the case, and that that element of the blood which can thus render nn organism diphtheria proof Isj the serum. Speaking loosely, the scrum Is the transparent part of the blood. Put some drops of blood on a saucer, and in a very short time they coagulate; that is, it assumes the appearance of a mass of jelly, on the surface of which drops of a yellowish watery fluid are visible, a red. semi-solid mass lying underneath. This latter Is called the clot, and the former Is the scrum, and In this Feium Prof, pehrlng has discovered the me;ns of defending mankind from the further ravages of diphtheria. lie poured Into a bowl n q lantlty of serum tc ken 'from the blood of an Inoculated an'mal, and found that the diphtheria poison, mixed with it, became perfectly Innocuous. If that! mixture be Injected under th? fkln, the organIsm Is not only not deleteriously affected thereby, but Is rendcrel secure apalnst the future attacks of the malady. Another seris of ex prrlment left no doubt In Prof. Jiehrir.g's mind that Pasteur's notion that the efficacy of the Inoculation depended upon its being weakened was erroneous. It is a question of quantity, and r.o thins more. Every Infectious dlseano leaves behind corpuscles in the bltxxl which prefect the patient from a new attack; and this fact opens out a wide perspective to contemporiry and future medicine. The next and last step was to try thv eflicacy of scrum on human beings, and the result of the application confirmed the professor's wildest hopes. Trof. Ehrlich, in Berlin, took the mat

ter up with vigor, and having first verified Behrings ob-crvations by inoculating animals suffering from diphtheria, treated human patients exactly in the same way. Of the difficulties he had to contend with at the first, the chief was that of obtaining the seru.n in sufficiently large quantities. The problem is now more or less satisfactorily solved. In five hospitals in Berlin diphtheria has been treated with serum. and the results a"e as follows: First of all. and by way of a standard by which to. gauge their significance. Prof. Khrlich mentions that seventy-two cases of the malady having been treated by the usual methods, twenty-five ended fatally. Then come seventy-eight diphtheria patients who, during the first forty-eight hours of their illness, had serum injected into their blood, and of these only two died. The conclusion to hich this significant fact points is that the newly discoverel remedy, if applied at an early stage of the Infection, is practically an infallible cure. In two other hospitals of the same city (the Charite and Elizabeth's hospital) there were twelve deaths out of eightynine patients, a result which will appear still more encouraging when it is stated that of these twelve seven bei mged to the most malignant kind of diphtheria known, so malignant that there was no hope of recovery from the very first. The application of serum was in all the other cases immediately followed by a notable failing off of the temperature and a perfectly normal pulse. When the patient was treated without loss of time one day was enough to remove all the main symptoms of the malady, and the dangers that usually make themselves felt during the period of convalescence are minimized to a wonderful extent. Serum is absoutely Innocuous, even In large quantities; the only Inconvenience it can cause is a rash or efflorescence on the skin, stich as might be caused by the sting of a nettle, and Is generally produced by transfusion of blood, and which disappears without leaving any traces. The quantity needed for injection during the malady is a dose of about ten cubic centimetres, which at present costs $1.25. One injection suffices in a great majority of cass. Xow. the important point, as Prof. Ehrlich points out. is to provide serum In sufficient quantities at a cost which will put it within reach of the poorest classes, and this can be done only by the state. At present horses are used for the purpose. They are Inoculated with the diphtheria poison in gradually increasing doses, and are weighed after each Injection. If they lose weight the inoculation is stopped until they have regained whit they lost, and then the process is resumed and continued until they are capable of assimilating large doses of the virus. Then their serum Is ready for use. A vein Is opened and about two pounds' weight of blood let, after which they are well fed, un;il such time as they can spare another couple of pounds of blood, from which the serum is extracted in the same manner. The animals suffer no serious inconvenience from this frequent blood-letting, for they have no work of any kind to perform. Serum taken from the blood of horses Is preferred to every' kind, because it is clearer and purer than any other. Prof. Behring affirms that In cases of lockjaw the effects r,f serum injections are equally satisfactory, and he believes that in time it will be found quite as effectual against typhus, cholera and perhaps even pulmonary diseases.

rmxrn pomatowski's hext. It Will Remain In pa Id, Likewise His Clerk' Salary. There is a "to let" sign on the giltlettered window of the Revue FrancoAmericaine office at 1 W. Thirteenthst.. says the Xew York Herald. The publication, which has not yet had its initial issue, was projected by Prince Andre Louis Leopold Charles .Marie Poniatowski, who during tl;e early summer hired the offices from Charb-s S. Peck, agent of the building, and fitted them out in an expensive and artistic manner. The faithful clerk left in charge by the titled projector has not received his salary, and will find a sure remuneration in an auction store. Xor is this all. Mr. Peek declares that there is four months' rent unpaid, and he has seized upon all the fixtures of the office to secure him against loss. ' It was the intention of the prince when he began making his arrangements In this city to have the Revue make its appearance about Feb. 1. 1805, and it may be issued then, bat long before that time, if Agent Peck's claim is not settled, the desks, rare pictures and cost'.y rugs in the offices will be sold under the sheriff's hammer. "I have a very poor opinion of the prince's business abilities, to say the least." said Mr. Peck yesterday. "Xot to pay me the rent that is my due is bad enough, but it does not compare with the unfairness of no: paying his faithful clerk, who has served him for months. I thought so much of the young man and his good qualities that I have obtained a position for him in an auctioneer's house on Twenty-eighth-st.. where he will receive his wages regularly. He was engaged by the prince at $S a week. His sister called or me and told me that she had supported him for months while his regal employer failed to meet his engagement. "Last spring when the outlook-fir letting houses was poor, the prince called oil me and told me that he woij like to hira the parlor floor of Xo. 27. In view of the possibilities I let him have the floor fjr $23 a month. He said later on he would probably need the whole builU.og. and I believed him. "The prince's secretary. M.

I wrote a courteous communication to Prince Poniatowski. but he did not have the courtesy to reply to me, but sent my letter to the secretary, who paid me $25. All that's in the place is in my keeping now. "The prince." said Mr. Teck in conclusion, "had better keep out of my way or I might tell him some disagreeable truths. Ho has abused my kindness in giving him an Jl.soo floor at desk-room rates. As a prince he does not pan out satisfactorily, in my opinion. I hope to recoup the four months' rent from the furniture."

PHYSICAL EXERCISE.

Avoid Tnllor-Made Goirai If Your Carriage Is Xot Erect. A writer on physical development says the human frame Is like a tree and grows as h is bent. Stooping, pushing the head forward, weakens the lungs. Always in walking lif: the feet and put them down firmly, but lightly. Put down the front of the foot first, not the heel, and rtst your weight on the ball of your fiot. so that the center of gravity falls plumb throug.i your hips and th? muscles of your lwer limbs instead of at the end of the spine. wwm GREEX CLOTH COSTUME. The muscles of the hips and waist should be trained to bear their full share of the weight of the body, and to preserve the elasticity of the figure. A pvvl excercise for this end is to sit bolt upright for half an hour at a time reading, sewing or doing whatever you like, only not letting yourself sink d wn into your hip-;. An excellent excercise for training young people to hold their heads properly is the carrying a weight of some sort p i.-ed on the head. The colored women of the southern sate-, who from childhood are accustomed to carry burdens in this manner, are models for sculptors in the carriage of head and nevk. The woman who has not an erect carriage should avoid severely tailor-made garments fitting closely to the figure. Folds and gathers disguise the bad lint-s eif the firm that are pitilessly revealed by a perfectly plain gown. A round shouldered person usually looks best in a bodice with a full back and a skir: with a large alowanee of material gathered into the waistband behind. Shirred bodices are becoming to very slender women, and the pre.-ent fashion of immense sleeves is an admirable device f r widening narrow shoulders. The sketch shows a gown of absinthe green aniazon cloth. Th1 plain skir: is finished with stitching and forms godts on each side of a narrow tablier. The round corsage is gathered at the neck and waist, and there is a black velvet bdt. adorned with two gigantic bows. Similar b nvs are placed at the elbows of the gigot sleeves, and a ruche of black fei tilers borders the high collar. JUDIC CHOLLET. Arc of Xlngnrn Fulls. Prof. J. W. Spencer says that the first conjecture as to the age of Niagara Falls was made by Andrew Eliieott in 17rü. Ellicott believed the falls to be lj,it years old. About 1SU Lyell estimated the age of the falls as 3T.o"J years. All of these estimates were pure conjectures, but they were correct in assuming that the gorp bad been excavated by the river. Prof. Spencer, in outlining the progress of the falls, says that a little stream draining the Erie basin once fell about 2m feet from the brow of the Niagara escarpment. This stream was not over one-fourth the volume of the present cataract, and consequently excavated the gorge at a much slower rate than at present. During the j early history of the river the waters of me inree upper ukhs emptier uirougn me Huron basin by way of the Ottawa river. The hight of the falls increase! several times. The first episode, represented bv a small river falling :? feet, lasted iii years. Then the hlght of the falls was Increased to 4oo feet, and took the drainage of all the upper great lakes. At the same time there was a series of cascades, three in all. the lower gaining on the upper until finally tney were all united In one great cataract, much higher than that of today. Subsequently, the waters were raised at the head of Iake Ontario, and the falls approximated to the present conditions after a lapse of l." years, and another 1,'MO years was probably occupied by transitorial changes of a very gradual character. It is now 8AO years since Like Huron emptied into Lake Erie for th first time. Tee land has risen about the outlet of Lake Erie, and If the present rate of change continues. In 5. or !o years the waters of the four lakes will be turned into the Mississippi river drainage at Chicago. The Candy Man In the Sun The candy man. who was in th" sun.
