WINTER RuLEs.-Nevcr go to bed
with cold or damp feet.
In going into colder air keep the
mouth rcsolutely closed, so that by
compelling the air to pass circuitously
through the nose and head, il may be.
come warmed before It reaches the
lungs, and thus prevent those shocks
and sudden chills which frequently end
in plcurisy, pneumonia, and other seri.
ous forms of disease.
Never sleep with the head in the
draught of an open door or window.
Let more cover be on the lower limbs
than on the body. Have an extra
covering within easy reach, in case OF
sudden and great change Of weather
during the night.
Never stand still moment ont Of
doors, especially at street corners, after
having walked even short distance,
Never ride near the open window
Of a vehicle for single half minute p;
valuable lives have thus been lost, or
good health permanently destroyed.
Never put on new boot or shoe in
beginning a journey.
Never wear lndia-rubbcrs in cold,
dry weather
If compelled TO face bitter cold
wind, throw y silk handkerchief over
the face is agency is wonderful in
modifying the cold.

THE WEALTH OF AN OLD BuRGo.
MAsrER.--More than two hundred years
ago John van katt, Jacob van Katt,
Joshua van Katt and Catharine van
Katt, children of an Amsterdam bur-
gomastcr emigrated from Holland to
this country, and after their fathers
death interest on the estate was for q
n long period sent 10 the descendants
in America, payment being made in
merchandise, such as Hollands and
ironware. These consignments, how
ever ceased in consequence of heavy
duties being imposed on certain i'm
ports during the war Of 1912. Since
that time the interest has been accu-
mulating in Amsterdam, and tho heirs
Of the estate, Cnrman vat Katt, Of New
Rochelle, New York, and others, have

caught on o few lots Of frozen glue, as
il Is In demand for ust on oil barrels ;
It Is preferred for that work, and Bar
ties 4 Co. have no trouble in disposng
ofall they have. rhe present capacity
Of the works is tw.3 tons Of glue n day,
and by running this through tho favor
able seasons, wh ch are brief, about
twelve hundred barrels year arc
made. These find ready market.
THE SOAR DEPARTMENT.
During the late glue season not so
much soap has been made, as there
has been lack OF room for operations
The works arc capable of turning out
twenty thousand lounds every twenty
four hours, and i'll run up to their
full capacity 50 ston as the additional
building IL compt ted to afford room
for packing. There are two immense
soap-boiling kettle, ono fourteen feet
deep, and ten feos in diameter at the
top, which will b eighteen thousand
pounds Of soap, fprrSrather with nine
thousand pounds capacity. The soap
is pressed into immense cakes and
then cut to the sizes required. At
present only laundry soaps are being
made, and it is gratifying to say that
they have become very popular in the
households of Williamsport. There
are several brands, and all are kept at
thccity groceries. Large quantitiesare
beside shipped to other points.
REGARDING BONE GRINDING.
Stacked up on The outside, and in
the rear of the mandatory, are large
quantities of bones, which are some
times allowed to accumulate iormonths.
These are ultimately shovclled into an
immense vat which is located out doors,
and which will hold eight tons of bones.
In there they arc boiled until they are
as smooth as q school-ma a'am's tongue,
when they are ready to grind This
work is done in section Of the engine
room building The bones are first
run through crushor, broken and
generally dcmoralized. Two men in
day are able to get twenty tons into
the crusher, but it goes as fast as they
do. After being crushed they are
shovelled into a mill, whose grinding
wheel revolves at an astounding rate,
and that is the last seen of the bones.
This mill grinds them to powder as
fine as flour, and will make seven or
eight tons day of it. This is put in
sacks and used as a fertilizer on the
farm.
This institution gives employment
to about fifty persons, the year through,
and is altogether one of the kind of in
which it is very well to en-
courage in city chat does not yet
boast of n very diversified industry,

THE FINISHING uP.

Those who have seen glue in any
considerable pieces have no doubt
noticed that the surface is lined off into
squares; that is done by the cords on
the nets, and the effect is sometimes
very unique. Al il comes from the
nets the glue is all in large pieces,
three or four or FIVE inches square. It
is cmptied on the floor and assorted !;
IL appears in various colos, some of it
beautiful amber, some deep corn
color, and other muddy drab, After

which this work cpn be carried on. In
the extremely warm weather II is i'm.

OxE evening last week Bowen
went before tho Examining Com
mittee of Plymouth Church to give
his Wonderfully statement about
Eeecher's perjury, adultery, sc.
lie had written statement, lengthy
enough for petifogging lawyers
plea in a case of petty larceny; but
it turned out to be a rehash of all
the stale scandal regarding Bcecher,
which had been floating around
Brooklyn for the past twenty years.
A large part of the statement was
an evident defense of his Bowen
own actions. The entire statement
was void Of names and dates nee
essary to trace out tangible facts.
At the conclusion Of tho reading
OF his statement, and while the
Committee endeavored to question
him rs to tho times and places of
the commitment Of Beecher's crimes,
Bowen made rush for the front
door Git was in Rev. Haliday's
house,, but finding that locked he
bolted ont of the back door before
10 could be checked. The Com
mittee have advised his expulsion
from Plymouth Church.
