LIBERIA. Church Donation.

Colonel George w. Scott;[of' Atlanta,
Ga, who recently scored 100000 out of
the phosphate trade in Florida, donated
$40, 800 to the Presby yterian Academy,

rumored that it is his purpose to raise
the amount to 800, 900 shortly, and to
give the institution university stand
ing. In making the gift he stated to
the trustees that too much money was a
bad legacy, and he intended to see his
descendants started in business 'moder-

their own canoes and that the surplus
of his money he will spend in public

MENDiNG NOT PATCHING.
How the Conscientious Housewife Can
Save Many a Dollar.

How the Conscientious Housewife Can
Save Many Dollar.
The conscientious mender will dc no
haphazard patching; she will be sure
the patch is the right way of the cloth,
and if figured or plaided will match the
figures carefully. The holes in the
stockings will not be drawn up in
bunch, but will be neatly, darned or
patched. Right here let me say that
it is we'll to buy stockings Of the same
kind and color each time, in order tn at
the old ones may be used in repairing.
1t is well in the case Of children's
stockings, that wear out SO rapidly on
knees and heels, to line those places,
while new, with pieces Of the same. In
this way they will wear much longer
and when a hole is finally worn through
there is the patch already applied, and
it is necessary only to cut it out little,
perhaps, and hem down the edges.
Perhaps Should defend myself for
advocating the patching of stockings,
for the old-time method Of mending
stockings admits only of darning. This
is the best way for the old-time hand
knit stocking, but for the fine, boughten
hose it is seldom that yarn Of the right
size and color can be procured.
1t is we'll, also, to have uniform ma
terial for aprons and other garments, or
at least have two or three alike. The
better parts of the one that wears out
first may be used for repairing the
others, and viii be better for that pur-
pose than new cloth, which not being
faded, shows its newneSS and makes q
conspicuous patch. Thread which ID
suitable in color and size should be se-
lected for mending as for making. Good
Housekeeping.

that to dispose of the quantity now stored

through the canal last year, which was
considerably more than the average. So
it is plain that neither by rail or boat is
there any way to bring the ice to the
city customers. and to add TO the diff
fcl<lty, the boatmen have doubled their
charges for freight.

Remarkable Surgical Operation.
Pitfshnrr Leader

Drs. John S. Mabon and W. NJ. Heron of AL
legheny performed the novel operation of intu-
baton this week on Charles E. Locke the three
year-old son of the pastor of the Smithfeld
Street NJ. E. church. The little fellow was suf-
fering from diphtheria and could hardly breathe.
The mouth of the patient was distended by aeag,
which also dilated the throat. a cone-shaped
silver tube was then inserted in the windpipe,
but so placed as not 10 interfere with the esoph-
agus or passage to the stomach. Immediate re-
lief was experienced, and constitutional treat
ment of the disease was begun.
The old method OF making an i'm
olson. in the windpipe and placing the tube
therein had the very dangerous and objection
able feature of permitting the cold air to enter
the lungs, which, in many instances, produces
pneumonia. BY the other means the inhala-
tions are warmed by pa ssing through the mouth
and noStrils, or, in other words, natural breath
ing is restored. The operation was performed in
this locality but once before, and that in
case where a childs air passage almost
closed by Group. The tube is inserted by means
of curved fOrceps. The new treatment was in
vented by DR.. Duweyer, celebrated physician
of Chicago, and has been used only Two years.
All the indications are now favorable to young
LQcke's recovery. sS2
