A'n astonishing thing has happened in Charleston, S. C., a marvel, the like whereof has never before been known. TWO hundred and fifty lives have been saved in that city, lives of men, women and children, in the past ten months. This, of Itself, is sufficiently wonderful to create a delightful surprise and call for gratulatory comments The saving of a single life is deemed worthy of na- tional 1ecognition Governments in- (1111 large eapend1tu1 es to 1escue pe1- sons whose lives we impe1 iled amid arctIc ice Or in barbarous countries. But the saving of 250 lives in Charles- ton, great and beneficent as the fact un- doubtedly is, is not the unexampled marvel to which we referred. That beneficent work does not stand “solitary and alone.” ' Lives have been saved by scores, hundreds, and thousands, but this Charleston salvation challenges the world’s attention, 'and excites its special wonder because no one knows who did it or how it was done. It is a great effect without any known cause. The News and Courier reports that at the last meeting of the City Board of Health Dr. Horlbeck. the health officer made the g1 atify Ing announcement that for the ten months ending Octobe1 31 theie was 250 fewer deaths In Chai les- t‘on than for the same period the year before. The decrease in the white death rate, it was added, was fifty, the remaining 200 going ,to the credit of the colored population. ‘ The News and Courier is naturally pleased with this showing, and declares that it is highly Cieditable to some au- thority or cause,‘but it-does not know i what‘authority or what cause, and it calls for formation. It insists that in the interest of all concerned, the great fact of saving 250 lives in ten months, which means 300 a year, should be ex- plained. And our contemporary sub- mits that “anybody or condition that works such a reform should be discov- ered, recognized—and kept at'work.” S The News and Courier-hints at a pos- sibility of explaining the great achievc- ment when it refers to the unusual and general cleaning up of streets and: premises during the summer months, ; , in view of the danger of an invasion of l yellow fever. That, we are assured, was the only maiked change in local conditions, but the Boaid of Health has not stated whethe1 the death rate was lowered so much 01 mainly in those months. And that is the point of great- , Charleston con~ its call for est interest, OuI temporary concbudcs fur ther enlightenment with the sugges- tion that if it should be developed that cleaning the city actually saved 250 lives, in five 01 six months, it will pay to keep it clean. There is no question as the profita- 1 bleness Of keeping clean. Even, if of lace or ribbon, and not tucked up in- to blouse form, is indeed a novelty. Five rainy .Mondays in succession make the housewife complain bitterly. NO woman can wax enthusiastic over a man, no matter how handsome he may be, when the froth of soda water is clinging to his moustache. It was not until ten minutes after the Ieport went forth that the woman ap- preciated what was meant when she was told the elevator boy hada load on. A “household fair ’ is the latest thing in the wavy-2611's ‘charity bazaar. At- it the week’s work in the home is represented at the different tables— Monday, washing: Tuesday," iion‘ing; \Vednesday, silver cleaning, etc.. with articles to be sold In keeping with the occupation of the day. Oat Meal Biscuit—Melt a quarter of a pound of butter or lard; mix together Six ounces of flour and the same quanti- ty of oatmeal, three ounces Of sugar, and quarter of a teacupful of carbonate of soda, then stir in the melted butter. Break an egg into a-teacup, add a lit- tle cold water, beat lightly, and stir in with the ingredients till it becomes a paste. Turn this paste onto a board and roll it out very thinly, then cut in- to rounds with a teacup. Grease a tin and place the biscuits on to it, and bake for twenty minutes. . Plaid bodices, plaid petticOats and plaid stockings are decidedly the rage. What a deardelightful world it seems when the persons we love love us. One parrot will live in luxury all his life.
