A new method has been devised for
"animalizing" cotton that is for giv
ing it the character of animal fiber, so
that it can bo dyed by tho processes

this has been accomplished by im

WooL In preparing tho bath for this
purpose a small quantity of wool is
first dissolved by boiling with barium
liydrntc. The barium is then removed
by carbonic acid pas, and a littlo form
aldehyde is added. Tho cotton cloth
Is wetted with tho solution so prepared
after which it is dried, steamed and
washed. It can then be dried directly
with any acid or basic dye, although
the colors obtained arc not so fast as
on wool.

Of a lack of brains. Parents should

That doctors commit mistakes Is not
generally known, although case from
time to time find their way Into the
newspaper. Dr. Cnrpenter, who tnaj
bo said to have Introduced the scien
tific study of human physiology Into
Kiiglund, burned himself to death
while attempting lo lako n. Turkish
bath in his own room by enveloping
himself In a blanket nlul sitting over
a spirit lamp. However, wlieit it man
poisons himself It Is his own peculiar
business which Is Involved, ut when
he takes to poisoning others, not with
malicious Intent, but simply In error,
a natural apprehension m.iy well per
vade the public mind. Protection in
the matter is extremely simple, as the
following narrative will show:
About eight o'clock on a June even
ing a victoria, drawn by a pair of high
stepping bay horses, drove up to a cel
ebrated chemist's shop In Hond street,
and an elegantly-dressed lady of about
2." years of age descended from tho
carriage. .She walked hurriedly
through the shop Into the dispensing
department nud, throwing n piece of
paper on the counter, said:
"Please make up Mils prescript Ion,
and send It at Ohee. I would watt nud
take it myself, but I um Just going out
to dinner. It Is very Important."
Tho assistant bowed, took tip the
prescription, and then seemed to hesi
tate. "Well," said the lady, who seemed
of a highly nervous, irrltablu dispo
sition, "Well, what Is tho matter?"
"I am afraid, madam," said the as
sistant, "that I cannot dispense this
prescription."
"Oh, nonsense," replied the lady.
"That Is what they said at In
Mayfnlr, so I brought It on here. I
suppose Dr. Blank knows what he
prescribes."
"Doubtless, madam! but; although
Dr. Blank Is one of the most eminent
in his profession, T dare not make up
this prescription, as the strength at
which the drug Is here ordered is not
allowed by the British pharmaco
poeia." "Oh, nonsense!" repeated the lady,
commencing to patter oil the floor with
her mnall fool. "This Is monstrous.
Here is my husband waiting for mod
icine of the utmost importance to his
condition, nnd two chemists' assist
ants think they know better what Is
good for him than one of the leading
men of the College of Physicians. C,xq
me the prescription and I will get It
prepared elsewhere."
"If you will allow me, madam," he
said, "I will take n cab to Dr. Blank's
and If he confirms the prescription I
will then prepare It."
"No, I will not," returned the lady,
who was now In a stnte of nervous.
hiitatlon. "I will not. My husband
is in a serious condition, nnd I shall bo
late for dinner. I have already lost
half an hour and I cannot have further
delay." With that slit? snatched up the
prescription and hurried out.
The assistant was seriously per
turbed. The mistake in the proscrip
tion was a grave one so grave, Indeed,
that the administration of a single dose
would probably prove fatal in two
hours. It was possible that some young
or inexperienced assistant at sonic
small chemist's, overawed by the great
name of the physician and by the
lady's imperious manner and elegant
attire and equipage, yould be found to
dispense it. Then trouble would en
sue which might be utopped now.
Thinking thus, the assistant told bis
fellow worker In the dispensary that
he would go to Dr. Blank s, and, hur
rying Into Bond stret,e Jumped into the
first imssliu: hnnsom. and In five min
utes was ringing the bell of the doc- J
tors house In Hurley street. Hie foot
man who opened the door said Dr.
Blank was out.
"Where was he?"
Iteally, the footman did uot know.
"Very important, was It?"
Ah! Well, then, he (the footman)
must Inquire. This he leisurely pro
ceeded to do. And the chemist's as- j
sistnut, who was of an Imaginative ,
turn, nmuseu mmseii uy picturing
inennwlille the death of the patient;
the professional rolu of himself, the
Mnyfalr chemist nud the great physl
flan; the grief and self-reproach of the
lady, who, despite her wayward, irri
table and careless demeanor, was evi
dently fond of her husband. And he
had already arrived at the coroner's
Jury verdict of manslaughter when the
footman returned with the intelligence
that his master was (lining with MnldA
Vale. The cab soon whirled the er
rant knight of the pestle and mortar
Into the Edgewnre road and drew tin
at one of the large houses which lie i
at the right hand side of Mald.i Vale
Immediately after passing the canal.
Dinner was evidently in full progress,
and the footman showed the assistant
Into nn ante-room with no very good
grace. Here another wait occurred,
which preyed on the already irritated
ucrves of our friend even more than
the previous one at Hnrley street. At
last the door opened, and the doctor
entered. He was a dapper little inan,
about . feet " In height, with a pale,
thin face, and hair and mustache the
color of tow. Ills clear, steel' blue
gray eyes saved' ids appearance from
being insignificant. He looked lu
qutriiigly at the assistant, who, bow
ing, bald:
"1 am a dispenser, sir, at Messrs.
. At about .1 o'clock this evening
a lady, Mrs. , presented -n pro-4
MHlption, signed by you, in which pot-
iv iir&i'uicu wns orcicveu in tnree
dram doses." ..
"Cood (.od-" cried the plijslclnn. "!s
It possible?"
"There tan be no doubt of if," re-;
piled the assistant, 'as the prescription
was refused by another chemist."
Tho doctor walked himledly up and '
down the room.
"Cnn It hnvc been altered?" he mut-'
teii-d.
"1 looked carefully for thai; but J
there was not the slightest sign of an '
ernsuie. Xo, sir." continued the assist- ,
nut. "I am afraid it Is a little mlstakit '
on your part. .J ouly fear that It may i
be made up and administered, and I
therefore went at once to your house, '
and. learuJug whore you were, camo oa '
Ueie." 1
Quite rlsbt. quite tight' raid the'
dortoi "Havn vru p cab waiting)
Tbnt's well. I'll go vlh you at once
to tho patient."
11 look but a few irlnr.les for llie doc
tor to hmke his excuses nnd return
ready for dcpaiturc, and the cab, once
more In motion, turned toward tho
neighborhood of Eton Square. Tho
house at which It now pulled Up be
tokened far greater wealth than either
of the other two at which It had
stopped sltice chattered In Bond street
but 1111 air of quietude peculiar to resi
dences In which lie Invalids In n Very
critical condition, pervaded the plnco.
Tho street door wns opei ed liolpelessly
by a fotmnti befiro the ornipuhtft of
the cab were fairly on the doorstep,
and llie doctor wns shown Into n room
on the ground floor which answered tho
purposes of a library, as much ne such
rooms usually do In London houses.
"Send me Nurse Moore," said tho
doctor.
"Nurse Moore is out for txerclse," re
plied the footman. "Nurse NorrW Is
on duty; I happen to know, for she
took the new medicine which I carried
up not five minutes ngo."
Dr. Blank was a little man, and littlo
men are usually quick In their mo
tions. But never did ninn, little or
big. fly up the stnlrs at the same rnte
as he did before the last words were
out of the footman's mouth. The as
sistant followed, but had only reached
the first floor when the doctor entered
tho bed room 011 the second. Nurse
Norrls was standing by tho bed meas
uring a dose of medicine from a bot
tle. She was a tall, dark young wo
man of twenty-five, very pleasant-looking,
and apparently pursuing her voca
tion with care, as she did not even
look up when the doctor entered.
"None of that, nurse!" exclaimed Iho
doctor.
"1 beg pardon, sir," snld the nurse,
now tiroused at the sense of some in
congltilty In the physician's manner,
which became Intensified when a
strange young man very much out of
breath, almest fell Into the room from
the passage.
"I should say. How Is the patient?
A very warm night, and likely to ren
der him very uncomfortable," contin
ued the doctor, with his soul lu his eyes
and his eyes en thp bottle.
"1 think I am a little belter, doctor.1'
Bald it weak Voice from the bed, on
which lay a man of about thirty, with
the peculiarly emaciated and drawn
look which invariably follows a pro
longed or very severe lllLcts; "a little
easier."
"That's right." Hitia"lhe doctor, feel
ing the invalid's pulse, "that's right.
Yds, a marked Improvement.' Then,
having completed n rather lengthy ex
amination, 1k turned to the nurse. "A
decided Improvement, nurse. For to
night we will discontinue all drugs.
Olve nothing except his tisunl nourish
ment until I come again. Dr. W
will return to-morrow, und when wc
have a local practitioner once more In
attendance you will talce your instruc
tions from him. In th meantime, glvo
no medicine. Indeed, I will take it
with me." And, without noticing the
hurt and resentful loek of the nurse,
the doctor pounred on the bottle and
transferred it to bis coat pocket.

Lieut. Emlle Duboc tells nn amusing
story of an event which, ho says, cr
tainly led to the downfall of hydraulic
machinery in tho French service. A
few years ngo tho authorities of a
great ship building firm were very
inucli perturbed when the trials for
turning the turrets of it new battle
ship, In the presence of the committee
appointed to take over the ship, weie
failures. A day or two befoie every
thing had gone satisfactorily. But
now the turret, after some slight
movements, stuck fust. The gauges
indicated the normal pressure; -there
was nothing wrong with tho turret or
with the racks for rotating It; thore
was no perceptible leak In any of the
pipes; and Jt was so Impossible to as
sign any reason for the behavior of the
turret that the committee had to go
home without seeing It revolve. That
evening and the following day a com
plete overhaul was niado of the svstem
of piping, and it was then disco'u.tu
that one small but Important pipe waa
completely choked by a "quid" of
chewed tobacco which o workman had
doubtless let full into it Inadvertantly.
When this waa removed the turret
workod ns well as ever; but the dis
quietude caused by the want of suc
cess of the day heforo was only In
creased when It was discovered how
inslgnlllcant the cause bad been. From
that day the naval authorities decided
'that in future wherever practicable the
power for battleship operations should
be carried by a wire Instead of a steam
pipe.

we have recently heard such a lot, tho
belief that if their high priest, the

it Is, according to them, only held to

similar custom obtains lu Unyore when
the .king falls seriously 111 and seems
likely to die, for his wives to kill him.
The same rule Is followed If ho gets
