Ferns for House Decoration

July and August is the most favorable
time for gathering ferns, as they are then
at their best. In pressing, the indispen-
sable requisites to good result are
sufficient quantity of paper, perfectly
even pressure and proper degree of
weight. The paper should be of soft,
porous nature and unglazed. Blotting
paper is considered best, but newspaper
will do very we'll Books are most con-
venient if they can be found of sufficient
size and unglazed. II paper is used, fold
it to the desired size and be careful to
make the edges perfectly even. Place the
first paper upon level surface, then n
layer of ferns face down, then about
fifteen sheets of paper and so continue till
the package is completed. Cover with a
smooth bit of board of the same size and
place heavy weight upon it rocking it in
every direction until the ferns are perfectly
smooth, Remove the heavy weight and
substitute one of perhaps ten or twelve
pounds. BE sure that the pressure is ex-
actly equal, for if the package tilts in the
least the ferns will be spoiled. If the
weight is too heavy or too little paper is
used they will turn brown; if the weight
is not heavy enough they will be rough, and
if there is any inequality they will be
smooth in some places and rough in others.
Three or four weeks will he required for
the drying unless they are changed to fresh
papers. If this is done they must not be
exposed to the air II moment or they will
curl past recovery. If perfectly dry they
will remain smooth.
The only fault of ferns is their tendency
to curl from changes of atmosphere This
may be remedied, in Il great measure at
least, by waxing after they are dried.
This is process OF some difficulty. Lay
the fern face down upon paper; rub II bit
of yellow bees-wax over the face of flat
iron just warm enough to melt IL pass
this very quickly over the fern. OF course
the wax must be made to cover il. II the
iron is too hot, or II the movement is not
sufficiently rapid, the fern will adhere to
| the iron, Methods of arrangement are so
numerous and familiar that 1t is hardly
| needfu to mention them. A handful in a
| fern glass is always desirable and for those
who lack pictures something very pretty
may be made in that shape from ferns and
| autumn leaves.

About Horses.

Men who work where great muscular ex-
ertion is required during the hot weather
or who are exposed to the intense rays of
the sun are still able to protect themselves
and can insist on those who direct them to
have care for their health. MANS in
mourn" is an aphorism full of sublime
truth, but mans inhumanity to the horse
is the more brutal, because his equine
companion can make no protest to the
cruelty and demand no relief from the
oppressor. Next to man, the horse is the
noblest and most useful animal that walks
the earth. 1t bears our burdens, moves
our commerce, delivers messages, increas-
es the pomp of all public displays, insures
pleasure, aids in fighting our battles, and
in insuring peace Mans obligation to the
horse is incalculable. Let him discharge
it like a man. Be just and fair to your
horse in hot weather. Be watchful of his
health when the heat is great. Never
allow him to stand in the rays of the sun
il you can possibly avoid it. Don't over
work him. Look to his food and drink
with scrupulous care Never lash him
when the surface of his body is in foam
of perspration. Don't add your own bur-
den to the pile when he is pulling heavy
load These are simple things, but they
concern the horse, and we speak for the
brute who cannot talk for himself Du-
ring such weather as that of the past few
days the horse deserves special attention.

Last Monday evening, Margaret, nine
year old daughter of William Kane, of Cen
tire street, Second Ward, was bitten by a
coppcrhead snake. She had gone up on
the hillside, short distance from the
house, to drive home goat, and was bare
footed As she passed an old stump the
reptile struck his fangs into her left foot,
leaving three marks. The child ran
screaming home, and the foot at once
became greatly swollen and very painful.
She was given all the liquor she could take,
and live toad was hunted up and being
bound on the wound was kept there all
night, it being claimed that a toad so placed
will extract the poison from a snake bite.
The little girl, after night of great agony,
was better on Tuesday morning, and has
since improved until she is nearly entirely
well-Mattch Chunk Democrat.

The Risks Incurred In Travelling
in Railway Cars.

During the past year seventeen passen-
gers were killed on tht railroads in this
State and 81 injured 1888 employees killed
and 1901 injured. The passenger mileage
during the same time was 31,700, 403, so
that 1854, 1928 miles were covered by pass
enger trains for every one killed, and 400
103 for every passenger injured. Allowing
only 80 passengers to train, it will ap-
pear that passengers chances of being
killed are about one in hundred million
miles in other words, if a passenger had
no more good luck than was allowed him
by the doctrines of chances, he might
travel every 400 years at the rate of 600
miles in every twenty-four hours before 1t
would come his turn to be killed. From
all which it seems that the insurance COM
panies have good thing when they take
risk upon railway passengers.

A horrible crime was committed in Mes
copeck township, L'lzerne county on Fri
day night last week, William Hufna-
gle, the proprietor of brothcl and low
whiskey shop, being brutally murdered by
a young man named Henry Myers Myers
who though but eighteen years of age, is
one of the worst characters in that region,
visited Hufnagles place while under the
influence of liquor. A noisy time followed,
and during their frolic Myers kicked over
a pail of cherries, which were sitting on the
floor. Hufnagle who was also drunk, or
dered him to pick them up. He refused to
do it and angry words followed. They
then came to blows, whereupon Hufnagle
drew revolver, and with terrible oath
told Myers he would kill him. Both men
clinched and fight for the revolver follow
ed. After struggle of some minutes
Myers succeeded in throwing Hufnagle to
the floor and wrenched the revolver from
his grasp. While the PROSTATE man was
regaining his feet Myers kicke d him in the
stomach, prostrating him again. He fol-
lowed this up with number of brutal
kicks about the head. Ten minutes after
Hufnagle fell to the floor he was dead
His head was bleeding copiously and the
bones of the forehead were all crushed to
yielding, The news of the tragedy spread
like wild-ire and an immense crowd soon
1ocked to the spot. Officers and the coro-
ner were summoned, a jury was empannel-
led and after hearing the evidence decided
that "Willam Hufnaglc came to his death
from kicks in the head, given by one Henry
Myers" Squire Keller acted as coroner
The affair has created much excitement
through the whole region, where all the
parties are well known. Hutnagle was "a
rough character and his low place had long
been the scene of many disgraceful affair.
Myers was frequent visitor to the place
He was very quarrelsome nature, and
has been connected with every disagreaeblc
affair which has occurred for long time.
The death of Hufnagle breaks up one OF
the worst ranches in the country and

Telephone workings.

The telephone is by no means perfect
instrument, and there is scarcely doubt
that improvements will be made in it for
years to come. The managers of ex-
changes are not to blame for the frequent
short comings of the instrument. The
wires are affected by atmosphcrical
changes and occasionally message in
course of transmission by one wire, is
taken up by another even when they are
some distance apart. An instru ment that
gives perfect satisfaction on one day will
refuse to do its work the next. Very often
persons wishing to use the telephone, are
annoyed by the vibration of the wires,
causing rumbling sound that prevents
the words of the speaker from being heard
1t is possible, probable perhaps, that most
of these faults will eventually be overcome,
but in the meantime it will be well for
subscribers to bear their annoyances with
what grace they may, and trust to the in
ventive genius of electricians to perfect the
phone The exchange people are some
times blamed for what they cannot prevent

Obituary..

On Tuesday morning about nine o'clock
the spirit of Miss Maude Freeze, only
daughter of Col. and Mrs. j. G.. Freeze,
passed quietly away and she was released
after months of intense suffering. Without
fear of death, and with a steadfast faith
in Jesus, she closed her eyes in that sleep
that knows no waking. No dispensation
of Providence has ever elected the sympa-
thy of community to a greater extent
than has this great atilction that has fallen
upon the bereaved parents Just arrived
at the age of womanhood, when life seemed
brightest, and there was every thing to live
for, she was attacked by consumption, and
in spite of the most eminent medical at
tendance, the disease baffled all efforts to
check it, and bore her to the grave in the
bloom of youth. The pride of her devoted
parents, and a favorite with all her ac-
quaintances, her death is deeply mourned
not only by those whose home is now so
desolate, and who are left without a child
to comfort them in their advancing years,
but by a large number of friends who will
miss her at home, in the soc lal circle. and
in the Church. For many years she has
been member of the choir of St. Paul's p.
E. Church, and her sweet alto voice added
greatly to the singing. Always in attend
ance when her health permitted, she enter
ed into the service with spirit. Her voice,
now hushed in the silence of the tomb, will
be no more heard, but though her place
may be filled the memory of her sweet
voice, her devotion to the Church. her
many noble qualities, will long dwell with
those whose pleasure it was to know her.
The death of Miss Freeze is the first one
that has occurred in the circle of young
people with whom she associated, and it has
cast gloom over the entire community.
No words can be spoken that will soften
the blow to the father and mother who
have laid their fifth and last child in the
ground. The Comforter of the afflicted
alone can heal the wound.
The funeral took place at St. Paurs
G hurch on Thursday morning at ten o'clock
Rev. l.. Zahner officiating, assisted by Rev.
}. Hewitt. The attendance was very large.
The Choir chamber was drapped in black,
and on n table in front of the chance were
number of floral offerings, among them
broken column from the members of the
Young Ladies Club, and a cross from the
Choir and organist. At the grave bed of
roses received the handsome metallic casket
containing the remains.
