Mrs Cora Parkaire is the name of a
slender, light-faeed, attractive lady,
who goes from house to house as a
palm-reader and tells the destiny of
her patrons at 81 palm, says the Yon-
kers Statesman.
Mrs. Parkaire is creole, and all the
fire and passions of her race are ex-
pressed in her dark. clear-cut features.

palm-reader to one of her subjects, and
She took the hand very lightly and

A VEGETABLE SoAP.-In the valleys
of California grows tall, slender stem
med liliaceous plant, with purple and
white flowers which played an important
part in the economy of the Spanish pop
ulation' and is still more or less used by
tho country people. 1t is the well known
amole, or soap plant. 1t rises from a
suberranean bulb, which is egg shaped
in form, two or three inches in diamet-
er, and enveloped In a thick coating of
black, matted, hair like fbers. The
bulb has the detergent properties of
soap, cleaning the hand or clothing quite
as well and much more pleasantly than
coarser kind of SOAP.

intended for underground work especi

several of the Durham mines. It has
a weight of about two tons and runs on

the engine will draw is twelve tons.
The air is at 400 pounds pressure, and,

The French superstition about luck
attaching to the rope with which a
man or woman has been hanged has
just been sadly belied in the case of a
commissionaire living in the Rue
Baudelique. at Montmartre. He had
for some time been the happy possessor
of bit of the coveted rope. Much
thinking of his treasure made him NOR
bid. Whenever he looked ut it he re-
membered the dreadful face of the
young girl whom he had cut down in
a neighbours house one morning. At
last the fixed idea became UNDESIRABLE.
He got his rope out. tied it to hook
and hanged himself.

Mrs. Jennie McClurkin. She is q

seems to be master of the field. The
people were we'll pleased with her
and listened attentively through
out the whole of her address.
Following this was recitation
by Bertha Writ which was we'll
recited for little girl. An essay
on the Conflict between Intemper.
ance and Prohibition was then
read. It was followed by an ad-
dress by Rev. Frank Fish of Clays-
vile, Pa. His was also an excel
lent address. full of information !;
he is an eloquent speaker, and held
the attention of the audience to
the end. Interspersed with these
exercises was singing by the child
rem and by the choir.
After three hours spent in this
way the people went home we'll
pleased, and We are sure good work
was done.
We feel that the interest is in
creasing in our community, and
