APRONS WITH BIBs.

The largest bib or napkin is often not
sufficient to protect the dress of child
at meal times, especially if the child has
some little service to perform at the table,
like passing plate or serving the but
ter. The sleeves suffer from the contact
with the food which even the neatest
and most orderly cannot always prevent.
The old fashioned, long sleeved aprons
were boon in this respect, and while
they are not as artistic as the present
styles with low necks and no sleeves,
their usefulness was great. Such aprons
ought to be restored for protecting
dresses at meal times.
These aprons can be made of Scent
calico-a white ground with little dots
of blue or red will not be unsightly-
or of common domestic gingham at the
same price. They can be cut sack style
in three pieces, front and two backs, or
with plain waist and skirt, the sleeves
in either case being large enough to slip
easily over the dress sleeves. Three or
or four buttonholes in the back are suffi.
cient to hold the apron in place, and
two yards and half of calico are enough
for an apron for girl of seven years.

Big Figures About Brooklyn Bridge.

No doubt many people have wondered
what becomes of the millions of tickets
sold and collected annually by the New
York and Brooklyn Bridge Company.
One who has given some thought to the
subject tells what might be done with
them, and incidentally gives other figures
showing the magnitude of the traffic on
the Bridge. Here they are just as he
gave them:
"Over forty-one million of people
crossed the bridge in 1891 on the bridge
cars and promenade. Could all the hands
which have purchased tickets be joined
together at the end of the year, a circle
could be formed IA, 112 miles in di-
ameter, or AZ, 1886 miles in circumference;
a distance equal to one and one-half
times around the earth. If the grand
chain were suggested, and the fastest
trains and ships employed, it would be
nearly three months before one could
make the bow and return to his place be-
side his partner.
GA solid square of 20, 634 columns of
1000 men each, covering over three
square miles, or 1000 acres, could be
formed of the ticket purchasers.
''It would take 6S7,S06 passenger
coaches, allowing sixty persons to the
coach, or As, ,S53 trains of fifteen coaches
each to carry this crowd away. If u
hundred a minute could be counted
without stopping during the twenty
four hours, it would require over eight
months to count them. If hollow squares
of 300 feet square can be conceived to
be placed one upon the other, the enor-
nous height of nine miles would would
be reached. BY forming triangular
pyramid with base of 20,460 square
inches, pyramid could be had much
higher than that of ''Cheops" in Egypt.
If stretched out in a line, so that the
head of one person would touch the feet
of another, they would reach distance
of 80, 179 miles.
"The carriages, wagons, etc., that
cross in one year would, if strung out,
reach 25,732 miles, or more than once
around the earth.
''lt would take train of AZ, 45S box
cars, with 1928 engines, to haul the
people away, and would, if coupled to-
gether, cover 322 miles, or reach from
New York to Richmond
"The tickets, if joined together con-
tinuously, would reach from New York
to st. Paul, distance of over thirteen
hundred miles, and would weigh very
nearly ton. There would be enough
tickets to cover the bridge promenade
to the depth of an eighth of an inch. If
spread out they would cover 573, III
square feet, or thirteen acres of ground.
There would be enough tickets to cover
the walls, ceiling and flocr of the Fifth
Avenue Hotel corridor fifty-seven times.
More than thousand ordinary sized
rooms could be papered, and if piled up
under pressure, one on top of the other,
they would reach "a, 800 feet, or over
six miles high.
at would require sixty cars, five feet
high, ten feet broad and forty feet long,
to store all the tickets used in one year. u

One of the Oldest Settlers in Penna.
j. ID. Wilcox was born sixty-seven
years ago ard has lived most of his time
in Olmsville, Tioga Co., Pa, where he
is practical farmer and successful
country merchant. He is deservedly
popular, known for many miles around,
and by strict integrity and honesty he
has attached to himself host of friends,
and has received from the Government
the Posmastership of his village. He
says: had been weighed down by poor
health for long time and gradually
grew worse until some four years ago the
crisis came. AT that time four of OUT
best physicians could give me no
encouragement, and some of them
said l would not live a year.
commenced to use DIR. Kilmcr's Swamp
Root, Kidney, Liver and Bladder
Cure. My doctors said your remedy
might help me for a time, but that ]
would not be here year hence. | took
Swamp-Root for nearly twelve months
three times day, ,and when the rheuma
used your U. & o. Anointment rubbing
in thoroughly over the affected parts, al
so across my chest, liver and back, warm
ing it in with hot fiat iron. The
rheumatism was so bad for while that
could not get either hand to my face.
My health now is very good; in fact,
think / am as well as most men at my
age-sixty- seven years. give your
Swamp Root entire credit for saving my
life and the good health l now enjoy is
due to its use. have worked some on
the farm of late and do most of the
chores myself.
This is not written for publication, but
if it will give others confidence in your
great remedy, have no objections to
your using it as best you can. With
best regard l remain, j. d. Wilcox.
This is but one of the hundreds of let
tiers received daily by DR.. Kilmer & Co.,
and five thousand dollars will be given
to any one who will prove any portion
of the above testimony untrue. Swamp
Root is beyond question the greatest ais
covery of the age.
