Staring Death in the Face.

The passengers on the Lehigh and
Susquehanna Road yesterday, says the
Scranton PENN Republican, were
startled by the thrilling situation of q
young woman upon the track, little
way from Pittston Station. 1t appears
that she was walking along the road,
and by some mishap had her foot
caught between two rails. This, in the
presence of an approaching train, made
her position most alarming. She grew
white with terror, pulled at her foot
with all her might, and struggled to
free herself from what seemed to her q
fearful fate. At length, as the train
approached nearer, she managed, by a
superhuman effort, to tear her foot
away from between the fatal rails, leav-
ING the shoe that had been on it be-
hind, and fastening away in sheer ex'
haustion from the spot. We could not
learn her name, but those who witness
ed the incident will long remember that
woman's agony as she seemed to stare
death in the face.

%G~
Cheek.

An instance of ineffable cheek comes
from Northampton County, Penn,
where, the other night, two men entered
the yard of aman named Lerch, and took
a fat porker from his pig-pen. They
drove him short distance from the
house and attempted to place him in a
wagon that was standing by the road
side. Failing in their attempt, they
went back to the house and begged Mr..
Lerch to go with them and help load
the pig into the wagon; that it was too
heavy for them; that they had driven
him a long distance, and that he refused
to proceed any further. LIZ. Lerch al
once consented, the pig was loaded, Mr..
Lerch went back to the house, and the
next morning found that it was his own
PIC that he had taken a hand in loading
on the wagon. Search has been made
for the rascals, but they have not as yet
been found. Lerch says that he feel:
that he has been left in the lurch.

HOME INTERESTS.

INDIAN RUsK.-2 light cups of Indian
meal, cup of white flour, l teaspoon
full of saleratus, enough sour or butter
milk to dissolve, cup sweet milk; stir
in of cup of molasses.
WEDDING PUDDING.-1 cup of molas-
ses, cup of chopped raisins, l cup of
milk, cup of butter, teaspoonful OF
soda, / dessert spoonful of mixed spices,
l egg, cups of flour. Steam hours.
REMOVING TAN.-Tan can be removed
from the face by diSsolying magnesia in
soft water-beat it to thick mass,
spread on the face and let it remain a
minute or two. Then wash off with Cas-
tile soapsuds, and rinse with soft water.
MEAT LoAF.--Chop fine whatever cold
meat you may have, fat and lean to-
gether; add pepper, salt and finely
chopped onion, slices of bread which
have been soaked in milk, and l egg ;
mix well together and bake in a form.
This makes an admirable tea or break
| fast dish.
PURPLE OR RED CABBAGEs.-Ta
off all the tough or outside leaves, slice
them thinly and evenly, put them in
layers, sprinkle salt freely over each
layer, and let them remain twenty-four
hours. Drain the cabbage well. Boil
up some vinegar, add alum and spice
to your taste, and pour over it, hot.
Repeat this process for three or four
days.
How TO Cook SALT PORK.-Many
people do not relish salt pork fried, bal
it is quite good to soak it in milk two OF
three hours, then roll in Indian meal
and fry to light brown. This makes
a good dish with mashed turuips, OF
raw onions cut in vinegar; another way
is to soak it over night in skim milk anC
bake like fresh pork; it is almost as
good as fresh roast pork.
To RENovATE BLACK SILK.-ThC
best article for cleaning or renewing
black silk is said to be beer-going owe
the surface of the silk with a sponge
wet in the Germans favorite beverage
Ammonia is good for cleaning purposes
but it detracts from, rather than re
stores the color. The best dressing TO
colored silk is to 90 over itwith liquid
obtained by dissolving kid of the SAM
shade Gold kid Gloves in warm water
for black, use black kid gloves.

What shall We Dor

IT IS no wonder that we hear this question
on every corner. So many are dying sud
denly of diseases Of the brain in these days
that everyone is alarmed, and is asking:
"What shall we do?'' There is alarm on ac-
count of dizziness Of the head, a whirling
sensation when rising up suddenly, bad,
" all-gune" sensation at the pit Of the stom-
ach, like the gnawing of an ulcer, with 8
feeling like load after eating, pains in the
back. sides and chest, at times, with costive
bowels, scantv, high-colored urine, some;
times voided with pain, appetite poor, and
when food is eaten it oftentimcs distresses;
the skin, after a time, becomes dark, cold
aud clammy, eyes sunken and tinged with
yellow, spirits detected. with evil forebod-
ings. When any of these symptoms are
present no time should be lost in using a
proper remedy. The one that we have
known to operate with the most certainty Is

Mrs. Mary Schnevly, Aged 1O3.

SAYS the Reading Penn.) Eagle:
Rev. C. F. McCauley two weeks ago
visited A. Schnevly at his home at Mer-
cersburg, in Franklin County, and whilst
there paid a visit to Mrs. Mary Schnev-
" at her home, six miles from Hagers-
town, in Maryland. She is 103 years
old, and calls her farm of some 200
acres the " Garden of Eden Mrs.
Schnevly was married in 1871 to Col.
David Schnevly and removed to her
present home, where she has since re-
sided. At the time of her husbands
death she had been welded just fifty
years. She is a very well preserved
woman even at this late day, after the
storms of 103 winters have passed over
her head. Her sight has failed some
what, but for years no glasses have been
used by her. Her hearing is good, and
her memory needs but to be revived by
questioning.
OF course she remembers General
George Washington. At her old home
in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, the Gen
eral and his staff in 1880 came to ex-
anime for location for the National
Capital. At that time he wore the con-
ventiOnal buckskin breeches, with the
old silver knee-buckles, the body coat
with its many fringes and brass but
tons, the tight leggins and buckled low
shoe. He was a tall, well built man,
and his very presence had its effect on
all around. The old lady remembers
him well.
In 1870 Reading had the largest snow
storm it probably ever had. The snow
covered the house tops and only the
chimneys were visible. Families had
to DIG themselves out and in may cases
every article of furniture was used for
fuel. Sleighs and four horse teams
rode over the house tops on the hard
snow. All this Mrs. Schnevly remem-
bers well.
Her visitors remarked that the CEN
tennial year was near at hand, and per-
haps OF her way through the city she
would stop in Reading. "No," replied
the lady, 81 am anxious to meet with
something of former times. / shall pass
right through. l want TO see all the
great men of the country" And she
will go TO the Centennial in May next.
Col. Schnevly, her husband, was the
first person to be baptized in the Ha-
gerstown First Reformed Church, in

Oddities of the Mail Service.

General Mail Agent Bangs, in a re-
cent letter, says:
looked into the collection of articles
which have passed through the mails
and never been called for, preserved in
the dead letter office, a few days ago,
and hastily made schedule of some of
the most striking curiosities. Among
them were: Rattlesnakes, 6. These
had passed through the mails alive in
perforated tin-boxes. Centipede, l.;
snake-skin, /; wooden shoes, pair !;
ladies' back-hair, 2 sets; ox-horns, Il;
gold-watches, 3; Colorado pOtatO-bugs,
! bottle; moccasins, several pairs tele-
scopes, /; billiard-balls, /; dolls, sew
eral stuffed birds, l; toys, very many /;
silver goblets, 4 gambling implements,
a good many; jewelry, large quantity
| sets of false teeth, several; American
flags, 9; masks, 2; bowie-kniyes, 2;
razors, | minerals and shells, many.
Bouquets of flowers are frequently
sent through the mails. On one Occa-
sion bouquet and young alligator
were in similar boxes in the same bag.
| The lids of the boxes accidentally came
off, and the flowers and alligator were
at large in the same bag. One box was
addressed to a lady ut Albany, New
York, and the other to lady
at Bridgeport, Conn The route agent
was troubled to know in which box to
place the alligator and in which to put
the flowers. Finally he settled the diff
Guilty by putting the alligator in the
Connecticut lady's box, and writing
thereon: eff you were expecting flow
ers instead of an alligator, forward to
Mrs. - , Albany, New York. -
On the Albany lady's box he wrote: "If
you were expecting an alligator instead
of these flowers, forward to Mrs. -
-, Bridgeport, Conn" By good
luck the agent got the different articles
into the right boxes.

1772. This old building had its centen-
NAL four years ago and has been hand
somely remodeled.
Her portrait, taken by an artist from
Lancaster, who was sent up by some
friends, represents the old lady to have
been at her then age, fifty years, very
handsome and more ike one at twenty
five. She was of queenlypresence, with
much beauty of face and form. The
portrait looks as when first touched by
the artists pencil-no fading, no dull
ness, no loss of color.
The old lady never uses a rocking or
easy chair, always sitting perfectly
straight, generally on the edge of the
seat. They had peep into her parlor.
On the floor was an elegant Brussels
carpet laid down in 1912, and is still in
an excellent state of preservation. The
colors are very rich and beautiful, es-
pecially the border. The old-fashioned
chairs, bright in their vermilion colors,
and with their ornamental backs, were
the models of fashionable furniture used
by the wealthy families of those DAYS.
She is an interesting talker, and during
the stay of four hours duration, richly
entertained her guests. Sitting at the
head of the table the lady waited upon
her visitors, handling the silver and rich
chinaware as ably as when a half GEN.
fury ago she sat at meat with her hus-
band.
Funerals in her time were differently
conducted from now. Girls, dressed in
spotleSs white, conveyed the corpse to
its last resting place, and on account OF
her height Mrs. Schnevly frequently was
called on to assist at burials.
The old lady has many visitors, and
transacts her bank business regularly
The newspapers are read to her, and
thus she keeps even with the events OF
the times. Formerly her almanac was
made so that every alternate leaf was q
blank. In it she kept her diary. Now,
at eventide, in book kept for that pur'
pose, the days occurrences are noted

A DEPUTY-sHERIFF near Hampden,
Conn, lately brought thief whom ne
was pursuing to halt pretty suddenly
and without harming him in the least.
The two were evenly matched as to
running powers, and the officer, though
close upon the culprit, could not gam
upon him. Suddenly the officer threat
ened to shoot, and throwing a hard
piece of snow at the man fired his re-
volver in the air. The lump of snow
hit the thief behind the ear and he In
stantly fell, believing he was shot, and
remained perfectly quiet until he was
captured.

4 Remarkable Professional Success


A Remarkable Professional Success.
Among the notable professional men Of
this country who have achieved extraordi-
nary success is DIR. r. V. Pierce, of Buffalo.
v Y. The prominence which he has attained
has been reached through strictly legitimate
means, and, so far, therefore, he deserves
the euviable reputation which he enjoys
This large measure of success is the result
of a thorough aud careful preparation for
his calling, and extensive reading during q
long and unusually large practice, which
have enabled him to gain high commenda-
ton, even from his professional brethren.
DevotinV his attention to certain specalties
of the science he has so carefully investi-
gated, he has been rewarded In remarkable
degree In these specialies he has become
a recognized leader. Not a few Of the rene
dies prescribed by him have, it is said, been
adopted aud prescribed by physicians in
their private practice. His pamphlets and
| larger works have been resolved as useful
contributions to medical knowledge. HI
has recently added another, and perhap:
more important, work, because of more gen
/ cral application, to the list of his published
writings. This book, entitled " The People,
| Common Sense Medical Adviser" is de
| signed to enter into general circulation. DIR
| Pierce has received Acknowledgements am
honors from many sources, and especially
scientific degrees from two Of the first med
| ical institutions in the land.

An Old Doll.

The Newport Ne'0s has this account
of a venerable and notable doll :
" Among the relics contributed by New
port to the Centennial fair which the
ladies of Providence are carrying on,
is a doll believed to be the oldest in the
country. 1t is of wax, about ten inches
high, and it has grown yellow with age
until it looks frightfully like q corpse.
1t boasts the following history; 1t was
imported from Paris as a model of the
fashions of the day, and was bought in
Philadelphia by Hon. Benjamin Bourne,
of Bristol, who was member of Con-
gress from 1890 to 1896. The doll was
given to his niece Miss Lille E. Turner,
daughter of Dr. Peter Turner, a surgeon
in the revolutionary army. Miss Lille
was born in 1892. The dolls eyes still
move, and it still wears the finery in
which it crossed the ocean to show the
ambitious DANES of the young republic
how their Partisan sisters dressed.

BLoNDIN, the tight-rope walker, has
been heard from again. On the 10Th of
October last, while on the Indian steam
ship Poonah, and at sea, he walked on
a finch hawser from the main to the
mizzen-topmast and back. 1t is said
that with the rolling of the ship and the
vibration of the powerful engines the
rope was drawn into such sinuous waves
that it closely resembled a snake. Blon-
din was frequently obliged to sit down
as the ship rode a heavy swell.
