A Man at Market.

arm-holes of his vest, and when he
reached fruit stand, he surprised the
owner of the stand by observing, g. on

the attendant. "Been out of season
four full months.''

''NO peaches in the Market" ex-
plained the fruiter. ''The seasons

NO peaches either ~ said the strange
customer, with surprised look. 1.-The
whole country voted for hard honest
money, and l can't purchase few

The Sinking Pomnerania.

The panic on deck after the caps;zing
of the first boat became general. Men
and women rushed frantically hither
and thither, others knelt silently in
prayer, and several passengers returned
below to their state rooms, only TO re-
appear on deck bearing large portman-
teaus, with which they absent minded
ly paraded the deck. One gentleman
descended the companionway and re-
turned to the promenade with his silk
hat in his hand, brushing it as he pro-
ceeded with the sleeve of his cotton
nightshirt, his only garment. Shrieks
and prayers were heard associated with
the commands of the officers and the
wrangliDg of the crew. Ominous, in
deed, is the fact that nil the crew were
saved and more than fifty passengers
lost. Another boat had, meanwhile,
been successfully got into the sea on
the other side of the steamer, but be-
fore any one thought to see whether the
plug was in or not the boat was half full
of water, and when the passengers
were lowered down it came very near
swamping. Many of the passengers
had to be dragged over the steamers
side. so terror-stricken were they. The
discipling of the crew greatly improv-
ed after the first ten minntes had pass
ed. Five boats were now in the water,
and loading with their living freight
with considerable regularity. Strange
to say some of the passengers refused
point blank to enter the boats. Every
effort was made by the first aud second
officers TO induce all to leave; but find
ing delay useless the five boats pulled
away from the sinking Pommerania,
leaving about twenty passengers and
Captain Schwensen on board. The
Captain remained on the bridge as the
boats drew off in the night, and even
the great black hull soon faded out of
sight in the haze. A few dim rays of
light emerged from the ports, and away
at the mast head, silently as tongue
less bell, swinging as the ocean swung,
was the great white light that marked
the disabled ships position. The fires
were out; the whistle could no longer
be sounded for want of steam. The
great steamship could not move, al
though the shore was scarcely six
miles away. She was helpless. She
was lost!

Building Fires on Cold Mornings

If we will 90 into many farmer:
kitchen, about five O'Clock on a cold
winter morning. we shall too often see
the woman of the house sitting by the
stove, whiting shayings with a dull
knife, with which TO start the fire.
Now, as ones happiness for the day
de. ends in great measure on how the
day is begun, you will easily see what
an annoyance it is 10 whittle shaving:
in a temperature down to zero. This
unpleasant task can be easily avoided
by two hours work in the fall, before
the ground is covered with snow. Let
the farmer and his hired man take a
team, with rakes and baskets, into the
woods, ard rake together fifty bushels
of pine needles, and haul them home,
and stow in some dry place under COW
er. These are among the best kind
lings there are for starting fire quick
ly. / have used them for twelve years,
and should not know how to do with
out them. l adopted the practice, when
i first began using them, of arranging
my stove the night previous, so that in
the morning had nothing to do but
to light the fire and get back into bed
again. all of which can accomplish in
ten seconds. In fifteen minutes the
room will be comfortably warm, so
that we can begin the day without any
drawb back.

Are Fat People Healthy.

Why are fat people always complain
Ing? asks some one who entertains the
popular though erroneous notion that
health is Synonymous with fat. Fat peO-
pie complain because they are diseased.
Obesity is an abnormal condition of the
system, in which the saccharine and
olesginous elements of the food are
assimilated to the partial exclusion of
the muscle-fOrming and BRAIN producing
elements. In proof of this, it is only
necessary to assert the well-known fact
that excessively fat people are never
strong, and seldom distinguished for
mental powers or activity. Besides,
they are the easy prey of acute and
epidemic diseases, and they are the fire.
quent victims of gout, heart diseases,
and apoplexy. Allan's Anti Fat is the
only known remedy for this disease. 1t
contains no acid, is absolutely harmless,
and Is warranted to remedy the most
confirmed case of obesity. or rcorpuleney.

Oil for Watches.

When main spring is cleaned, most
inexperienced wOrkmen, will take hold
of one end and pull the spring about
half its length, straight tut, 10 save
time-a practice which will break
springs when nothing else will, and
springs treated thus, generally break
after the watch has been delivered TO
the customer only few days. Break
ing into many pieces is owing to the
acid in the oil which is used. Thus
supposing the main spring a fine one,
and to have been evenly tempered and
properly cleaned-if now, old oil is
used, or that of an inferior quality if
fresh, the acid it contains will eat into
the spring, and finally destroy its tex
ture the coil nearest the centre breaks
first, and as it recoils it breaks every
coil there is in the barrel, and some
times each coil is broken twice, the fact
being that the spring has become so i'm
pregnated with acid, that it has no life
left. To make the oil pure, take good
sized bullet, or other piece of lead,
which has thick coating of lead rust,
cut it up fine, put it into the oil, and
have it stand for two weeks. This
causes the acid TO settle, and it then re-
sembles milk at the bottom, on being
poured off the top, the oil is in pure
state. Common clock oil can be treated
ir this manner and made better than
some watch oil.

THE HOUSEHOLD.

WINTER RULES.-As winter ap.
proaches we are reminded Of protec.
tive measures against the chilling
changes of the weather, and the fol-
| lowing rules are SO essential that We
produce them.
Never 90 to bed with cold damp feet
always toast them before fire Tor ten
or fifteen minutes before going to bed.
When going from warm atmos.
phere into colder one, keep the
mouth closed, so the air may be warm
ed by its passage through the nose, ere
it reaches the lungs.
Never stand still in cold weathes, es-
pecially after having taken a slight de
gree of exercise; and always avoid
standing upon the ice or snow or where
the person is exposed TO cold wind.
Alter exercise of any kind, never
ride in an open Garage nor near the
window of a car for a moment, Ii is
dangerous to health and even life.
Never take warm drinks and then i'm
mediately 90 out in the cold air.
Merely warm the back by fire and
never continue keeping the back ex-
posed to the heat after it has become
comfortably warm. TO do other wise is
debilitating.
When hOarse speak as little as posi-
BILE until it is recovered from, else the
voice may be permanently lost, or diff
culties of the threat be produced.
Never begin journey until
breakfast has been eaten.
Keep the back-especially between
the shoulder blades, well covered; also
the chest well protected.
Never lean with the back upon any
thing that is cold,
Never omit regular bathing; for un-
less the skin Is in an active condition
the cold will close the pores and favor
congestion or other diseases.

YOUTHS COLUMN.

The Little Doctor.-''NOw, be good
children, and do not bother nurse y
said Mrs. Carter, as she kissed Frank
and his sisters good bye and hurried of
10 make some calls. They are merry
wide-awake little creatures, and seldom
at loss to amuse themselves, though
sometimes in trying to act '.just like
grown folks" they get themselves into
scrapes.
This morning they had promised to
be very good, so they ran TO the closet,
and, taking out all the toys that Santa
Claus left them on Christmas eve,
spread them On the nursery floor, built
houses with their blocks, loaded
Franks cart with animals from their
Noah's ark, and played that he was the
man from the butchers. Then, they
formed themselver into a company of
soldiers, and marched up and down in
very brave fash on, Frank beating his
drum. and Mabel blowing with all her
might on tin trumpet, until she set
hersslf in hit of coughing, and was
compelled to sit down.
Mabel was just getting over a hard
cold, which had made her so i'll that
she had been obliged TO lie in bed for
several days, and swallow horrid bitter
tasting stuff that the doctor had left for
her.
Frank is a funny little fellow, and
often rigs himself up in way that one
would think, to look at him, that fig
ure had stepped out of a comic alma
nae.
When he heard his sister cough, he
clapped his hands and shouted, "Oh,
know what Well do. Let's play that
you are awful sick, and that L am Doc
tor Corson come to see you and give
you medicine"
He ran into the hall, got his hat and
fathers cane, and presently came back,
putting and wheeling, for all the world
Just like the fussy little doctor who
takes care of the children when they
are sick.
''Ah, good morning, Mrs. Carter"
said he with a sober face. $50 your
naughty little daughter has been out in
the cold again, and made herself sick.
Well, WELL we must see to this. Put
out your tongue, my dear. She is very
sick child, madam, a very sick child;
in fact 4 may say one of the sickest
children / have been called to visit this
winter. / should say that she had the
consumption and small pox. You must
give her four big sugar plums every two
hours; let her have some biscuit and
honey, and do exactly as she wants to
do about every single thing. There's
nothing which frets folks and makes
'um so very bad as TO have their faces
washed, and hair pulled when they
don't feel like it." Just then Mrs. Car
ter's voice was heard in the hall, and
doctor, patient, and nurse, all scamper-
ed off, shouting, Mamma, mamma,
we've been ever so good. What did you
bring us?"

Telling StorieS.-After telling little
Johnny several stories, writes Eli Per-
kins, / asked him to tell one to me.
"wal unite Eli," said Johnny, "I'll
tell 'ou a nice long tory bout itty ba-
by and a wudpecker."
"Once a man wIch lived in the wuds
was cuttin' down trees, and he had so
many babys that his wife cudent mind
EN- al TO home. so he tuke the baby with
him and laid it on a stump vile he
chopped. The baby was red heded, and
wudpeckers is red-heded too. Pirty
sune the baby it begin to cri, and there
WIZ q wudpecker settin on a lin, and
it thot to itself: Poor itty baby, what
has come of your ole mudder, 'ou mus
be offie hungry, I'll see if l can't do
sumthin fur 'ou;' an wen the man cum
II the baby fur tu toss it up an say,
'Gitchy, gitchy, gitchy,' he seed the
wudpecker drop long red werm in the
baby's mouth and iii back tu the lin.
Then the man he pulled out the werm,
witch wuz a chokin the baby, an he
lookt up at the wudpecker an said:
My good feller, If you keep bordin
house, wot is your terms?'"

Scient fc.-The daily consumption OF
lucIfer matches in France is estimated
at the rate of half a dozen per head OF
the population; the proportion for Eng
land is as high AS eight, and il reaches
nine for Belgium. Bssing the estimate
upon that of six per head per diem, the
daily consumption of these useful little
articles throughout the whole of Europe
is set down at over two billions. The
weight of these matches varies consid-
erably, those most in use in France Civ
Ing about l $40 to the pound, while the
same weight will yield three times as
many of the round and square descrip-
ton common in other countries. As
suming, however, LOO as the average,
the daily quantity OF wood consumed in
their manufacture would amount to
some 800 tons. Poplar and aspen are
generally preferred for this purpose.
The weight of the former, per cubic
foot, when squared and reduced to
available dimensions, is about twenty
pounds. Making all allowances for loss
by saving and other causes, that arise
before the wood becomes converted into
marketable article, il is found that
out of a cubic foot of rough unhewn
timber, not more than quantity equal
to eighteen pounds can be practically
utilized. 1t is calculated that more than
30, 900 persons are employed in this in
dustry in Europe, one establishment in
Austria numbering 5000, and the total
value of the production reaches very
high figure.

Suffering tor a Life Time.

Persons afflicted with rheum stism often suf-
ier for lifetime, their tortures being almost
without remission. The joints and muscles OF
such unfortunates are IN most cases shock
ingly contorted and drawn out of shape. To
afford them even temporary relief. the ordi-
nary remedies often prove utterly useless.
Hostetrers Stomach Bltters, on the other
hand, is avouched by persons who have used
1t to be genuine source of relief II keeps
the blood cool by promoting regular habit of
body. and removes from it impurities which,
in the opinion of all rational pathologists
originate this agonizing complaint and its
kindred MALAY, the gout. Besides this the
Bitters remedy disorders of the stomach, liver
aud nerves, prevent and eradicate intermit-
tent and remittent fevers promote appetite
and sleep. and are highly recommended BY
physicians as desirable medicinal stimulsnt
and tonic.

"O1d Mortality"

1t is an interesting, though probably
not very widely-known fact, that the
aged Madam Bonaparte, living in Bal
timore, is the granddaughter of Rob-
ert Paterson, who figured as "Old Nor
tality" in Sir Walter Scott's grand nov
ell of that name. This eccentric indi-
vidual was a native of the parish OF
Closeburn, Dumfriesshire, Scotland,
and died at Bankhill, February ii,
1901. For the last forty years of his
life he wandered over almost the whole
of the lowland portion of Scotland, in
the discharge of his self-imposed mis-
sion, that of repairing the tombstones
of martyr covenaDters-recuttiDg half
obliterated inscriptions, and often
erecting new memorials. Sir Walter
once saw him, during 1898, prosecut
ing his pious labor in the churchyard
of Dunnottar, Kincardineshire. "Old
Mortality" hal three sons Robert
Walter and John. The last-named
sailed for this country in the shir
Golden Rule, of White Haven, about
l774, took up his abode in Baltimore,
and became wealthy merchant. Hi;
daughter, Elizabeth, on Christina;
Eve, 1903, was married to Jerome.
youngest brother of the great Napo-
leon Bonaparte. The marriage of Jer-
ONE with Miss Paterson was declared
null by the Emperor Napoleon. The
husband, jerome, as those familiar
with modern history will remember,
was made King of Westphalia in 1907,
remaining ON the throne until the bat
tie of Leipsic brought his reign to a
close. Robert Paterson, brother of
Madam Bonaparte, married Marion
Cation, an American lady, and she, sur
viving her husband, became the second
wife Of Marquis Wellesly, elder broth
er o! the Iron Duke.
