FRn1aHr TRAINS COLLIDE.
Disastrous Wreck on the PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad IA Morning.

Disastrous wreck on the Pennsylvania
Railroad This Morning.
Two freight trains collided on the Delano
and Hazleton division Of the Pennsylvania
railroad on the mountain above Quakake at
about half past eight o'clock this morning.
The trains were running in opposite direc-
lions on a single track and were running at
such a lively speed when they collided that
the two engines and fifteen cars were wrecked
and thrown into a great heap. Some of the
ears were broken into kindling wood and the
engines were ruined.
No person was injured. The engineers and
6remen and other members Of the crew
jumped from the trains before the crash took
place and all escaped injury.
The railway officials lay the blame upon
one of the engineers, who is alleged to have
disobeyed orders by not stopping at a side
track and waiting for the arrival and passing
of the other train.

USE DANA'S SARSAPARILLA ITS
THE KIND THAT CURES"


A |Schuylkill countian, who recently re-
turned from the South, gave the following
account Of how Southern towns were doomed:
81 knew a real estate speculator, a pretty
decent kind Of a chap, too, who used to own
an iron working plant, a rolling mill or some
thing of that kind. There were a good many
carloads Of machinery and he moved it from
place to place, he told me, more than a dozen
times. Unprincipled boomers would hire him
to exhibit it in full operation at some paper
city, until enough town lots had been sold,
when he would move to another corner of
the Wilderness and the same bunco game
would begin again. This sort of thing was
bad for the South. 1t has stopped and the
people down there pray that it may never
begin again. Things are at a stand still now,
but the vast possibilities of the South are still
undeyeloped."

Dogs and words.

Ihere are many learned men who
maintain that while dogs often un
derstand our meaning 1t Is not oul
words but our tones, looks and ges-
lures that they comprehend.
But almost every child who loves
oog could bring some story to con-
tradict this theory.
Here Is a true story on the subject
mat VIII please all tony masters oil
bright dogs:
A traveller In Portugal purchased
native dog which soon became much
attached to him, When spoken to In
English, eyen accompanied by the
most expressive looks and gestures
the master could command, the dog
seemed puzzled, and he seldom found
out what was required of him But
wheh ms master addressed him n
Portuguese - badly as his maste
spoke 1t, the dog joyfully executed his
wishes.
AFTER a time, BY repeating the
wo DIS alternately in Portuguese and
IN English, the dog learned the lat
yer as well as the former, and would
obey as readily. But the same com.
mand given in French reduced him to
a state OF despair again.
Afterward the dog was carried to
france. After residing there some
tlme ne became so familiar with the
language that nc understood direc-
lions given to him though-perhaps
because he had grown older and a
new language was harder to acquire
ne never responded quite so readily
to commands In Portuguese and
english. Chicago Inter-Ocean.

Outside window blinds.

Among The household inconvenfen.
e left over to this generation out
side window blinds are among the
chief and worst. Their principal OBJ
jects seem to be to get out of order,
hang on n hinge, collect dirt, slam
violently and noisily and contribute
in every possible way to the dilapi-
dated appearance of a dwelling. To
shut or open them one must risk dis
location Of the neck, and If they are
on a dressing Dom window they are
apt to blow open at critical moments
in the process of the toilet. Still they
exist and the aim Of every woman who
has them should be to render them as
unobjectionable as possible.
In the first place, all their stats
must be carefully attended to and
never let drop or fly loosely. Once
every week they must be thoroughly
brushed. otherwise the accumulation
of dust upon them combines with &C.
c%asional showers to flow In riyulets OF
mud down the front of the dwelling.
At least ono a year they should be
taken off their hinges and washed.
The wise woman will take them of
one at a time or else mark in some un-
mistakable way which blind belongs
to which side Of the window, other
wise great will be the confusion and,
II they are hung by a man, the pro-
family attending their adjustment.
The proper materials for washing
n of these cumbersome objects are
a tub, warm, soapy water and a whisk
broom. After the dust and accumu-
lations of the season have been washed
off rinse the blinds in water In VIII! n
ammonia has been diluted in the pro-
portion of a tablespoonful to gallon.
They should be allowed to get thor
oughly dry before being rehung in the
sun, otherwise they are liable to crack.
Then when they are restored to their
windows, as fresh and clean as green
trees after a shower, n is inclined
to overlook their Objectionable quail
ties and take unqualified enjoyment
in their neat appearance.

By some German chemists tests
nave been made to ascertain the
physical cause Of the coking or fusing
of bituminous coal into the form of
coke under a distilling heat, the con-
clusion being that such a phenomenon
is connected with the chemical COM
position of the coal, with especial re-
lation to the richness of the coal in
what is called ~disposable hydrogen,
or that proportion Of it which is in
excess Of the quantity required to
form water with the oxygen present..
1t has recently been asserted, how
ever, that such Il standard for the
,oking quality in coal does not CORE
spond with observed results, nor does
the richness Of a sample Of coke in
carbon determine its cooking capa-
biiities, the fact being that two speci-
men of coal of practically identical
carbon composition will often be
found to behave very differently in
the retort of coke ovens. 1t Is argued.
therefore, that If the property of cox
ing does not reside either in the sur
plus hydrogen or the fixed carbon, il
is certainly not to be found in the
content of the coal in oxygen, which
gives no indication whatever Of the
physical behavior Of the coal under
heat Some coking Goals coke with
out much swelling, while others swell
to a considerable extent during the
process In either case the coal must
undergo a stage of fusion, in which IL
becomes a thick, semi-Auid mass.
