The mother who plans and manages for
her children can usually keep them neatly
and prettily dressed though she spends
but Huie on their clothing, and it re
quires Ingenuity and good management to
keep them well dressed when the income

sum unless the mother has learned to cut

Dermatology.
One of the most enjoyable treats tn
general reading that I have experienced
tn years came to me in the columns of a
periodical published in Philadelphia under
the. title of "American Medicine. ’
They are lectures delivered in San
Francisco by Malcolm Morris, F. R. C. 8.
of London. England, surgeon to the de
partment of skin diseases at St. Mary’s
hospital.
Dr. Lane, of San Francisco, to the gen
erous person whose efforts have brought
this fine lecturer to America, and great
must be the enjoyment of the doctors of
thia country in the opportunity thus pro
vided.
I have been privileged to read two of
these lecture® on "Dermatology.” and
shall eagerly await the next one, and on
to the close of the series.
As Indicated by the title, Surgeon Mor
ris makes a specialty of skin diseases.
The reader® of The Journal are vitally in
terested tn all matters pertaining to ev
eryday existence and everyday comfort, in
their own health and the health of their
offspring. Therefore, the subject of skin
diseases, known in modern medicine as
dermatology. Is peculiarly interesting
and Instructive to homes and families.
Th® wise lecturer says: "No man need
be more ashamed of studying the sldn
than of studying the brain and the ner
vous system, and if he find In it enough
to occupy hto whole attention, be has, at
any rate, the satisfaction of feeling that
in his narrow sphere he can often do
more to relieve suffering than the men of
larger aims. As Browning sal's:
“ This low man seeks a little thing to do,
Sees It. and does it:
That high man. with a great thing to
pursue.
Die® ere he knows It.’ ”
The lecturer said every blotch and bleb
•n the human skin has a meaning, "just
as a blush may express love, anger,
shame, pleasure or excitement: so eryth
ema may range in significance from a
chilblain to a septic infection of the grav
est kind.”
France, England. Austria and America
have given more attention to skin dis
eases than any other countries up to date.
Bacteriology seems to have been the
eye-opener of the world to the proper un
derstanding of skin diseases. Cutaneous
affections are in general evidence in ner
vous disorders. Nervous overstrain, with
diseases of the skin, "are'among the most
distressing cases that a dermatologist can
be called on to treat,” says Dr. Morris.
The Infectious character of skin dis
eases constitutes a most Important part
of thi® subject. Dr. Morris says: "Under
this head come a motley group of dis
eases. ranging from the Inoculation of
tubercle to the migration of a flea.” He
also says “an infection of the skin, of lit
tle or no consequence in ftaelf. may be im
portant to the happiness of individuals
and families, owing to the unfounded sus
picions to which it may give riee.”
There to no question but very innocent
persons have been made the victims of
"unfounded suspicions.” and have had
entailed upon them the evil gossip of in
correctly informed people regarding the
disease as suspected.
The lecturer tells of the danger that
'attends decoration of the skin, of hair
dye® and piercing the ears.
His description of itch to full of instruc
tion. In pursuing this subject he tells of
Napoleon, who caught the itch at the
siege of Toulon from handling the rammer
of a gun previously handled by a gunner
killed in the act of firing. Napoleon load
ed. fired, sweated and inhaled the scabies
with which the dead man was covered.
The virus of scabies or Itch followed him
all through the campaigns of Egypt and
Italy. The emperor often tore his skin
until tt bled in hto itching paroxysms.
Elderly people have not forgotten the
prevalence of itch 40. 60 and 60 years ago
among school children. School children
not affected with itch wore sulphur in a
little sack suspended from the neck to
prevent the infection. >
There is a full exposition of the louse,
the dirty pest of uncombed heads, and he
teito of an experience related by a phy
sician of Boston in the year 1898. where
affected children were excluded from
school, and several were sent back carry
rying physicians’ certificates that neither
nits nor lice were present.
"One determined mother, to make her
case more sure, sent her child with four
physicians' certificates, some of whom
were connected with the best hospitals
and dispensaries in Boston, but on exam
ination Dr. Greene found she. still had
nits
Rdbert Burns describes the louse as
"Detested, shunned by saint an’ sinner,”
but some canontoed saints were found
swarming with such vermin.
Personal cleanliness, the lecturer said,
was rather a modern invention, for the
distinguished Lady Mary Wortley Mon
tague was a well known beauty as well
as a wit. and a bath was a well-known
institution in her time, but some one ven
turing to hint that her hands might be
cleaner, she exclaimed:
"Do you call that dirty? What would
you say if you saw my feet?"
A witness in London remarked before a
health commission toward the middle of
the nineteenth century: "The only two oc
casions on which most of the laboring
classes in England were washed all over
was only after he was born and after he
had died."
The common bedbug lies under the sus
picion of conveying tuberculosis to man.
The flea lies under the same suspicion as
to plague transmission, by Infecting the
rat—or maybe the flea gets ft from the rat
and passes ft on to man by poisoning hl®
skin with its tainted carcass, or in some
other bad way.
The mosquito to, as we know, now
charged with the transmission of yellow
fever to human beings, and perhaps other
diseases.
This to a very brief and partial review
of two lectures already printed, and I
shall await the next with lively interest.
There to a breesy freshness in the two
already published that to delightful to
read and appreciate. ,

| SCHLEY AND WHEELER
j POINTEDLY CONTRASTED
The investigation drags its weary
length along before Admiral Dewey's
court of investigation In Washington city.
Nearly all the witnesses heretofore ex
amined have been positively inimical to
Admiral Schley. This very fact demon
strates the effort of the administration
naval party to cast unjust blame and
odium on the great sea-captain who sunk
the Spanish fleet at Santiago.
It must be an amasing sight for great
sea-captains in other countries to behold,
to see a man on trial for cowardice who
won for himself and his country deathless
fame In one of the greatest naval bat
tles of the world ever recorded.
It- demonstrates the often repeated ax
iom that "human nature is the same the
world over.”
Whatever may be the findings of the
court ft is proven by a demonstration that
logs of battlesnips are very unreliable as
correct data.
If official records are not to be depended
upon, then the logs of these vessels had
better be cast out as unworthy of re
spect.
One witness swore that the Brooklyn,
Admiral Schley's battleship, crossed
ahead of the Texas, only one hundred or
a hundred yards distant, while the two
nearest vessels in their official reports
show that there was always two thousand
yards between themselves and the Brook
lyn.
If Admiral Schley is to be dismissed as
a coward, then the unreliability of official
reebrds should be absolutely condemned
forever and kicked out of any decent
court. ' * ' •
Admiral Sampson is said to be a sick
man, and it to therefore charitable to
conclude that he was not himself or men-
THE DECA Y OF COURTESY.
BY WALKER LEWIS, D. D.
The decay of courtesy to a proposition
hardly admitting contradiction. It
dominates itself. If one is inclined to
raise a question mark after that state
ment, he might as well remove ft and
place a period there. The proceedings
of conventions, the sessions of boards
and councils and legislatures, the atti
tude of men toward-each other in trav
el. on the streets and In business, teem
with illustrations of this decadent vir
tue. whose vigor and bloom are a
people's glory.
I cannot think our past civilization
carried in its social relations so much
of the coarseness manifest in the pub
lic manners of today. It to said, "Man
never is. but always to be blest.” apd
likewise for finding excellence the habit
of search is invariably from the pres
ent Into the past. “The golden age” of
everything is back of- our generation
rather than overhanging it with balmy
skies. To the inquiry. "Why were the
former days better than these?” If the
matter of courtesy were under consid
eration, tt could hardly be answered,
in terms true in many other matters,
“Thou inquirest not wisely concerning
this.” We are a better educated, better
equipped people than were our fathers,
but we are not more refined. The fiber
of character may be aa firm tn us as it
was in them, but its texture is coarser.
Men at heart may feel no more un
kindly toward their • feUows now than
in remoter day® of ®ur republic, but
they are at less pains to keep the fact
qf how they feel if they feel adversely,
from leaping offensively to the surface
of life at every opportunity for preju
dice or irritation to manifest its senti
ments. Frequently bruqueness of man
ner and utterance, as natural In some
as shape of hand or foot, is taken for
Intended slight, when the intention
and the heart are kind; but not much
of modern coarseness, making men
unpleasant, or, to say the least, not
agreeable to their fellows, is prop
erly attributable to this source, and is
therefore to be taken out of .the ac
count. People owe each other for cour
tesy. due but withheld, for slights and •
insults instead of respeqt.
Now lam far from objecting to
plainness of speech. The severest can
dor and the hardest words may fall
upon the ears and the heart of qqr fel
lows without offending the sensitive
ness of a gentleman. Two friends of
mine were capital examples, *'one a
benedict, the other a bachelor. Origi
nally of the same statue, the benedict
became much stouter afteY his mar
riage. The bachelor was offered a
very fine suit the other imd bought in
the period of his leanness. He was
Independent, though lean, and said:
'Til take tt for what you gave for it.”
"No,” said the other, "the pay is noth
ing. It’s a present.” The bachelor
thought to flank his generous antago
nist, and after examining the suit de
clined again. “It's entirely .too big for
me; it’s big enough for Goliath!” ”No,
it isn’t,” replied the benedict, "but
it is not too big for any other liar, and
you must take it.”
Now the harshness of thia statement
did not affect its courtesy. It isn't
necessary for a man to become a gush
er in order to render to .his fellows the
honor which to their due. When a
former Georgia president of a college
ran against a cow on the campus and
began the profoundest apology to
"madam,” he made, owing to near
sightedness, a mistake which, though
quite creditable to hie gentlemanly .
heart, is not expected of persons that
see well. Overdoing the agreeable costs
more than tt brings. The man who
gushes' is in danger of lying fearfully.
Insincere is he who to "delighted" to
see everybody, who compliments every
sophomore in bar or hustings or pulpit
as a Hill or a Pierce, lifts hto hat to a
clothes line decorated with a ®i!k skirt
and greets a business drudge as a
"royal gentleman" because of hi® com
mercial importance, may be rated as
a Chesterfield, but hto courtesy falls
far below the genuine stuff one sees in
even the newsboy that puts half his
day’s earnings in fruit for his little
invalid companion of the route.
I recall a candid, rough man of other
days. He was like a blackjack, though
Blockings birds nested and sang in its
branches, ano made widows and want’
glad with their notes. He had offended
a townsman by hto outspokenness. A
mutual friend Informed him of the
fact and sent httn forthwith to mak®
an apology which he was prompt to’
offer. His cordially Intended amende;
however, was worse than the offense.
“Captain Blank, I’m told I offended
you yesterday by a remark. I didn't
mean to do ft. Why, captain, I didn't
think you were such an unmitigated
fool!” And after that he turned upon
his heels and entered bls office. He
thought everything was adjusted and
pleasant, when the mutual friend burst
into his office next day, warm enough
himself over the blunder to explode
a powder magazine. *
"I'm astonished at you!” he said re
proachfully. “You have a good heart,
but less suaviter In modo than any ffiari
In Georgia!” “What that means I do
not exactly know,” came the blunt re
ply; “but if ft means money, I give you
to understand I’ve got as much of that
as any of you!” ,
Glorious old capitalist! The blackjack
had many a bag of gold at its roots,
but its rough and stubborn head bow
ed to ctiild or governor alike as the
winds of heaven swept over its,
branches. Had he been five times as.
wealthy and important in business en- t
terprise, he would have shown no dlf-,\,
ference of deportment toward the rich-
yr
tally capable of holding the place of
Chief commander, while his family and
friends have been crying down the man
who" really won the . fight and destreyed
Cervera’s ships at Santiago with Sampson
himself not concerned in it.
Without , going further into Admiral
Schley’s merits or demerits there has
been shown in navy circles the bitterest
partisanship, envy and evil-speaking of
oChers among high officials who .should be
at better business for themselves as well
as for their country.

Hjtle errands and Jobs to keep starva

CHAPTER 11.
Political Corrective®—Pulpit Perver
sion.
I don’t like serials any more than
some persons like serious articles in
newspapers or serious preaching in the
pulpit; .and really I had no thought
of falling intq Ml thto practice, proper,
of course, in novelette, but not best
in essay, when I began to write for
the Journal a previous paper on the
manifest decay of courtesy among the
American people. The discussion is
limited to theip, not because of my
partiality for the foreign over the do
mestic. which disease unmistakably
affects some of our countrymen, but
because I’m not "travelled,” and have
enough regard for propriety to write
•bout nothing I haven’t seen.
I hadn’t got to the subject when
the proper limit was reached. It sug
gested a scene' during; a great dis-,
cussion in a church assembly, some
years past, when the speakers were
limited to ten minutes. A great man,
of intense convictions, was arranging
to demolish his antagonists by that
form of reasoning which states the
strength of the opposition before as
saulting ft. He did that, step by step,
and the array Os argument was like
the Macedonian phalanx when he had
marshaled ft. But just then his time
expired and the hammer fell.
"Mr. President!” he protested, and
begged—“ Mr. President! I haven’t
begun my speech yet!” But it was in
vain, and mad as a hornet whose nest
boys have rocked, he sat down to
grow madder amid the roars of laugh
ter that "rocked" him from every side.
I had not gotten to my subject when
I imagined Editor Cohen’s hammer
began to rise with the ' half uttered
warning: "Time’s out; long enough
for one article!” Still the subject re
mains. barely touched beyond its peri
phery, and It’s big enough for another
article. Indeed., for more than anoth
er, and it to fertile enough for gener
al search by the pulpit and the press.
The fact arises in disagreeable obtrus
iveness. and it® existence calls for
explanation, its evils for remedy. Why
the decay of courtesy?
The European critic will naturally
attribute this fact to the principles of
Republican government. It is. per
haps, undeniable that American re
volt from the doctrine of aristocracy
and kingship has flung us so far from
respect for these shadows of greatness,
that we are apt to overlook greatness
in anybody and worth in all. But the
contrary touches a wider field for
shaping and inspiring conduct. Ameri
cans declare that the common people
are kingly or aristocratic when they
are deeervtng; and the feeling that de
preciates men and fails to duly hon
or them can hardly come out of that
equation. To rate our citizens as the
equals of Englands Aristocrats can
hardly compel the reduction of the
first member of the equation to that
approach to nothing a lack of courtesy
implies. Americanism ought to be- the
handiwork of polite artd gentlemanly
bearing.
Besides a republican system of gov
ernment bears In- its elective machin
ery the influences that make many
men decidedly Well behaved. Be tt
understood that the writer in his con
tention for the decay of courtesy,
specifically expels trom a call to the
stand for witnesses, alt candidates for
office. Want of courtesy must not b®

groubd and on »he s’reets. but ft is dis
reputable and disgraceful that sea-cap
tains should have ne more respect for
their high calllne than .to back-bite each
other, falsify official reports and betray
one of the meanest attributes of a wicked
heart, namely, envy, to the general pub
lic.
It was time, however, that this under
current of dirty ' doings and sayings
should be exposed, and ft to being done at
the rate of a dozen columns of testimony
every day In all the journals of the time.
I saw Admiral Schley when President
McKinley made hto "Confederate grave’,’
speech in Georgia’s state capitol. He did
not impress me as a great man in appear
ance, but he did wear the garb of a mod
est man when he had the undoubted, right
to rig up hto person on that occasion in
an admiral’s uniform. Instead of gold
lace and a multitude of flourishes he wore
a very modest undress costume, and be
haved himself like a gentlenian.
I contrasted hto apparel with that of
General Wheeler, whose dapper little
frame was absolutely crowded to hold
the gay and gaudy uniform of an United
States army officer. Perhaps this to not
the time or place to say it, but I feel
quite sure that Gen. R. E. Lee or "Stone
wall” Jackson would not have been in a
hurry to get into the same sort of mili
tary toggery like that of which little
General Wheeler was so conspicuously
va|n that he remtrided me of a three
year-old child, dressed In his first breech
es and not used to them.
Admiral Schley was evidently willing
to allow hto record sis a great sea-captain
to speak for itself and ft did speak in
clearest tones of his modesty, self-respect
and good sense.
deep in mud, to kiss them. They bow
profoundly to overalls, and the tin
bucket brigade is as attractive as the
dress parade corps. Their grip
makes the bones crack, so heartfelt to
tneir friendship. The girl that has
seven brothers barely enters the car
before the candidate leaps to his feet
in great scorn for the stolid fellows
that keep seated, and Offers her two
seats! "Why. John. I am glad to see
you look so well today; how is the
boy getting on!” is his courteous sal
utation to neighbor John me morn
ing after he announces! Let others
announce. Let everybody announce!
He hasn’t spoken to John before since
Christmas. “The boy! I’ve no boy.
Did nt marry till last week!” “Oh, ex
cuse me; it was your brother I was
thinking about. ” “I’ve no brother,
Mr. Blank! They are all sisters!”
"Confound him, he’s thinking about
getting votes,” said John as he was
permitted to retire. But it does mel
low the American candidate, ■ and take
the blackjack out of his manner and
words, and make as though he had
“finished off” his education, when he
t "announces.” We can reform discour
tesy by the multiplication of candi
dates! More, gentlemen, more.
It to hardly to be denied that abusive
methods in the American pulpit have
had much to do with the decay of
courtesy. During the war the pulpit
north of us, in many instances,
though there were honorable excep
tions. abounded in the vltupratlon of
southern manhood and womanliness;
and in our own pulpit the abuse and
billingsgate that go for sermonizing
so bespatter and conceal what is noble
in almost all, that God’s Image on a
human forehead is not holy enough to
discourage its profanation by the gen
eral and bitter contempt of men. It
to an awful usurpation for a minister
of the gospel to denounce one of
Christ’s lost brothers. When what to
sent to save consigns to gutter and
obloquy Its Impotent and ruined
charge, shall we expect the verdict of
every day treatment, which follows
that arraignment and condemnation,
to be higher than low flung indiffer
ence? Certainly not. The spirit and
heart of the gospel speak forth in the
exhortation of St. Peter, who before
its light and inspiration found lodg
ment in soul, thought the Gentile world
too common and unclean for his min
istry, but after that enduement de
clared all men worthy of courteous
notice. His "Love as brethren; be
pitiful; be courteous,’! puts a new es
timate of worthiness upon human na
ture and lifts the lowliest unto a
throne for the tribute of the world’s
respect. Are men lower as well as
lowlier than ourselves? Common in
firmities and sorrows will ultimately
bring us all, subject or ruler, wise or
unendowed, famous or unknown, king

THE MODERN FABLE <F THE
WOOZY AMATEUR AN J HOW
THEY STRANG HIM.
A Bill Clerk in a Grocery H >use once
took part in a Production by Home
Talent. Every one who bougt t a Tick
et had a Friend’in the Cast. The Bill
Clerk was a Glisten, but most of the
People were wedged in anc had to
Stick. His Acting was very b&zmaraz.
When they gave him a Call, te did not
know that they were Kiddisg him.
After the Show they came ar >und and
pounded him on the Back and told him
he was Great. The Paper gaire him a
Notice better than Coquelln «ver got.
He had himself photographed in Cos
tume and began to grow a Margue
rite Curl in the middle of his ’ forehead
and keep one Hand inside of Its Coat.
The Mantle of Edwin Booth hid fallen
on him, but it did not reach to the
Small of his Back. All he wanted was
a Chance, and he would make Otis
Skinner look like a Side Order >f Some
thing. He read the Dramatic Papers
and unless he was choked off tie arose
at Evening Parties and Recite 1. Then
all the Girls told him he had Won
derful Talent, and after he went away
they said he was the jakiest piece of
Punk they ever saw.
The Bill Clerk began to write Letters
of Congratulation to himself and use
Powder on hto Face. He forsook the
low-down Grocery Trade and decided
to go on the Stage. He chariged his
name from Wesley Fink to Ormonde
, Dupont and haq "Theater” painted on
his Trunk. After that all he needed,
in order to be an Ac-tor, was an En
gagement. He packed up and headed
, for the Rialto, with Mil the Photo
graphs of himielf and the Notice from
the Home Pai>er. The Manager® and
Agents turner him down and waved
him away and kept him sitting in
Waiting Rooms for hours at a time,
but they could not drive Ormonde back
to the Canned Fruit Business. He was
going to Act, whether or no.
So finally he signed with a Company
presenting a Problem Play entitled,
“A Wet Dog.” In the First Act he
played the part of a Man who brought
In the'Trunk; In the Second Act he
had to walk right out In the Glare of
the. Footlights and ask, "Did you
Ring?” In the Third Act he was
number four from the right end. And
now all his old Friends in the. Gro
cery Trade' can say that they know
some one wijo. to really on Jhe Stag®, .

THE MODERN FABLE OF THE
PHILANTHROPIST AND THE
POOR WORKING GIRL. '
While in a Department Store, whlth"
er he had gone to save 2 cents each
on his Collars, a Nice Man with black
Lambrequins leaned over the Counter
and said to Geneve, the sweet-faced
Saleslady. "Oh. Little Girl, how I
sympathize with you.”
Geneve looked at him in a Startled
Manner and then her Gale fell;
’ "What is Biting you?” she asked
timidly. ~.v*, ;
"I am so sorry for one who is com
pelled to Toil,” he said. “I am think-
ing of starting a Noon-Day Rest
Club, where you and the others may
come and drink Tea and listen to me
read Advice to the Young.” .
“That would be lonely Billiards,
wouldn’t it?” asked Geneve, as she
gave him the Chirp. "We don’t want
to be rounded up and sozzled over.
Not on your Leaf Lard®. The Poor
Working Girl draws the line on having
a kind-hearted Gentleman pull the ’
Weeps on her. Why should I do the w

week than the average Married -Wo?.
man, and when I get on my Best
Clothes, why I put her en the Blink,

I don’t have to coax for it I go to
the Ten-Twent-and-Thirt , several
times a week and I don’t have to sit
up in any six-by-nine Flat waiting ~
until all Hours for It. I think I can
struggle along without having you »

The Philanthropist walked away
deeplv grieved at her Point of View.
MORAL: Any Girl with a Geneve

Sympathy.
