odd Jobs q spocialtv.

The latest thing devised to lessen the
labor Of living and the cares of a house-
keeper is a corporation known as the
Odd Job and Tinkering company,
limited. The parent Office of the con
Germ is naturally enough in New York,
but according to its prospectus it has, or
will have, subsidiary companies in all
the large cities.
1t is charming idea-this odd Job
company the man who originated
the scheme deserves a vote Of thanks for
bis ingenuity. Though limited iii its
liabilities, its scope of usefulness Is not
curtailed, but is as lilnitless as human
wants may necessitate.

Few sehoolboolss In the Home.

There is one effect Of the law Tequir-
ing towns to provide free textbooks, for
schools that will operate little against
the public good, though probably not
seriously. This is that scholars go out
from the schools at graduation without
the little stock of schoolbooks as private
property common to former years. In
many households these sehoolbooks
comprised in the main the family Ii
braries, and they have doubtless in
thousands of instances been sources Of
information and means of study to "chil-
dren of larger growth" in the home
circle. Now the books have almost en-.
tirely disappeared from the country
stores, and the citizen who wants one
has to send abroad for it. A Maine man
who tried to purchase a textbook the
other day in village containing 40
stores couldn't find one for sale.-Lew-
iston Journal. 81

Trenton has been suffering since last
Saturday with an ice gorge. The ice that
had broken up In the river between that
point and Belvidere is all jammed in be-
tween Perriwig ar, below that city, and
Yardleyville. At the Trenton railroad
bridge, the ice is nearly up to the railroad
tracks, and al Yardleyvilie, it has reached
to within few feet Of the railroad bridge,
In South Trenton, considerable damage
has been done by the flooding of houses
along the river banks, etc. At one time
the railroad bridge was considered in
great danger and trains Of coal cars were
run on the bridge. Should sudden rise
come In the river, carrying more ice be-
fore the jam gets started, the probabilities
are that the bridge will be carried off.
Yesterday attempts were made to blow
up the ice dam by dynamite but without
success. 1t is reported that the Reading
Railroad Company had made prepara-
tons 10 burn the Yardleyville toll bridge
had the danger increased, as, should that
bridge be carried off and strike the rail-
road bridge, 1t would most likely destroy

Dangers of the Season.

The sudden changes in weather in the
latter part of the winter and early spring
are source of colds and coughs. This
season is particularly dangerous one for
persons with weak lungs or Of delicate
constitution. A slight cold is likely TO be-
come serious one and the cough that
follows is the one great cause of the many
deaths from consumption 10 the early
spring. Never neglect cold or cough.
Keep reliable remedy on hand aud
check the first cough, that may lead to
consumption. As such a remedy the
medicine called Kemp's Balsam is strong
ly recommended, For every form of
throat aud lung disorder, including the
la grippe cough, Group and consumption
in the first stage, 1t probably has no equal
anywhere. Get bottle to-day.

THE BEST TEST OF THE

THE BEST TEST OF THE
quality of paint is exposure to the
weather. Winter SHOWS and Sum-
mer suns will prove its value or lack
of it. Poor paint loses its brilliancy
and peels off under the suns scorch-
ing rays. When you apply paint to
be durable and always smooth and
glossy, see that you get the Chiffon
brands. They are manufactured in
the most careful manner, of the very
best--therefore the dearest materials.
They are seven times ground over
and possess a solid body almost un-
known in other paints, but see that
they are applied to dry surface.
Any paint will peel if applied to a
wet or even damp surface. Where
the pores of the wood are filed with
moisture, oil cannot enter.

The rise 10 the river the latter part of
last week, caused the ice to break up and
on Friday morning last, at about eleven
o'clock, 1t began TO move. 1t had been
expected that the ice would jam up aud
cause the river to rise above its banks but
it went out very quietly. A large num-
Der of people on both sides of the river
lined the banks to see the sight.
On Sunday another run of ice took
place. 1t rea he'd our city about o'clock,
p. NJ. 1t was OF dirty blush color and
the water was almost black. Some say it
was Lehigh ice, others that it came from
above Belvidere. The water raised sew

quantity that came down, but no damage
was done. The ice was exceedingly
thick, some who profess TO know saying
II was two and three feet thick. The
bridge windows were full of people watch
ing it as 1t came down. II continued to
run all the afternoon and evening.
