A we'll known young gentleman
of this city was recently greatly
embarrassed at the manner in which
he was received by a lady friend,
whom hehad went out to the K. & NJ.
depot to bid farewell, she being on
the eve of her departure for home
after pleasant visit to friendshere.
The young man was rather late in
going out, and he cut across lots and
passed up the hill by the spring,
and just as he struck the depot, the
train whistled and. rung the bell
preparatory to moving away. As
the young man was hustling up to
the car, the lady who had been
eagerly watching for him, spied his
manly form, and with outstretched
arms rushed towards him, exclaim-
ing in loud voice which could be
heard for quarter of mile, "Oh,
here comes my sweetheart" OF
course every lady in the vicinity
faced about and some cruel fellows
snickered. The young mans CON
fusion can be better imagined than
described. Being of a bashful turn
of mind the gentleman was about to
turn and flee when boy checked
the forward advance of his friend
by exclaiming, "Come off the perch,
sweetheart" Just then the train
steamed away. Now don't ask.ds
who the young man is, for we won't
tell you.
Mr.. James Eads, an old soldier of
the 4th Virginia residing at Apple
Grove, w. Va, and who is just re-
covering from a second attack of
pneumonia, came to town on Tues.
day and drew fifty dollars from
bank. After spending about five
dollars of this amount, the balance
was lost or stolen from him. He
then drew $50 more, and when he
reached home Tuesday night all of
this was como except s11. The
claim is made by him that he was
robbed of the money, and the cir
cumstances indicate that he is cor
rect. On Wednesday morning he
came to town accompanied by his
wife, transferred to her certificate
of deposit for $3.50, and left for
home with the determination to
close the contract for the purchase
of small tract of land for homo.

a Marrow EscAPE.-On last
Thursday as the south bound pass
enger train, on the K. & NJ. which
leaves here at $50 a. M, passed up
to Three Mile, it came within a
hairs breadth of killing two children
of Mr.. McLane's, aged IL and 4.
They were playing on the trestle as
the engine came around a short
curve; the engineer, Pat. o'Connor,
saw the two lads on the trestle, he
reversed his engine and put on the
air breaks. The engine had almost
come to a standstill when it struck
the 12-year-oId child just hard
enough to shove it over the end OF

only scratching it in one or two

Not on with the Old Love

Lillian Price, duchess of Marlborough,
is grieved over the rumor that she was
about to. marry again. The "Ameri-
can Duchess so well known as Mrs.
Hammersley, was in an indignant state
of mind when d correspondent called
upon" her the other day. Il cannot

estness, why such baseless rumors
should be started concerning me.
II am still In mourning for my late
husband, the duke of Marlborough, ind

The duchess Lillian has now q strong
foothold in English society. Having Sc

A Gymnasium at Home.

The advantages of gymnasium prac-
tice for young children, and its direct
bearing on their future, can hardly be
reckoned, writes Ellen LIE Garde, In the
Ladies' Home Journal. Strange to say,
the most common defect in the physical
status of children is a most grlevous
one, namely, lateral curvature OF the
spine. The majority Of curvature cases
occur between the ages of five and four
teen, and need not happen at nil II
the matter is properly understood and
attended to-. These tender little bodies
will bend and permanently shape, like
young plants, in whatever way their
growth is directed. If your child Is
carelessly permitted to assume one po-
sition for any heightened period, you
may expect, as a result, a one-sided
development. If, by more frequent use,
either side is put to greater action than
the other, it will. become so much
stronger that all muscular movements
will be performed from it. and it will,
in time, obtain complete mastery over
the deficient development, the latter
finally being rendered unable to per-
form it's natural functions. From it hip
disease, as we'll as curved spine, re-
suits. The proverbial ounce of proven
ton Is always better than a pound Of
cure, particularly in this case. -

The death Of the widow of Thackeray
will be heard with surprise by many
who did not know that she was alive,
this month. It will be remembered
that she lost her reason early in her
married life. According to the testi-
mony Of those who knew her she was
m. uncommonly sweet and amiable
woman. There are passages Of tender
pathos in ""The Great Hoggarty Dia-
mond" and the Adventures Of Philip
that were inspired by scenes Of the days
when Thackeray and his wife We're

A veteran and most successful wash
erwoman says that the secret OF we'll
Numbered clothes consists Of three
things-"sortings, soaking and sum
shine" There are, of course, other
processes, but these are the most 1m-
portant features connected with laun-
dry work.
On the day before washing. the
clothes should be sorted into several
piles, body linen, household linen, n
things, oar mes and fannels. Eacn
articles should be mcistened, rubbed
with soap and put to soak In warm wa.
ter. The next day the washing should
be done, using good yellow soap n a
little soda to soften the water. Two
washings through warm. water and a
thorough wringing should precede the
boiling.
From the boiler the clothes should be
dropped into q tub Of clear, cold water
and wrung out of that into the blue
water. Whether the clothes are wrung
out by hand or by machine two people
arc required to wiring them. They
should hang on the line in the sunshine,
and the light will complete the whiten-
ing begun by the soap and water.
Flannels should not be soaked. They
should not have soap rubbed on them,
but should be shaken into q lather.
They should be washed In tepid instead
Of very hot or cold water. They must
not be blued. They alone should be
dried indoors, near the fire on days
when drying by the SUI would be o
lengthy process.-New York World.

The most select circles In Wjssahick.

tons OF a certain puritan town wheE.
sturdy Miles Standish intrusted his
wooing to his friend, young John Al
den. Miles Standish of this story
mourns the loss OF the bride he came
from the west to wed, while she is en-
joying in Boston a honeymoon with the
modern John Alden. For some. time
past Mrs. Minnie Mitchell, a dash1nC
and handsome young widow, has been
making her home at 136 Sumac street
with her uncle, Samuel Garrett. The
gosslps have it that she was engaged
to be married to a wealthy young west
ern business man and had accumulated
IN extensive trousseau in preparing for
a second plunge into the troubled sea
OF matrimony. The date for the mar
rage ceremony had been fixed for Dec
70. Attention to business prevented
the young man, whose. name Is not yet

Christmas evening, and in order that
affairs might proceed smoothly on the

pair OF sound lungs underneath. l nave

ter the fashion of her English sisters,

This was what Colonel Cody said to q
New York Recorder man who X
him how American women compare
with their English sisters In regard to
health and vigor. The colonel Is a firm
believer in athletics for women, but
thinks the best exercise for the fair sex
can be found In the saddle.
Let me tell you," said he, "Of a suit
that I introduced in England for the
purpose of persuading women to ride
astride. 1t has become very popular
SO much so that many of the fashion
able women Of the first hunts Of Eng
land have adopted it. Now, I do not
know just where to begin. It is rath-
er hard for me to describe a woman's
dress, even ii I did design 1t. Well,
first there Is a pair Of trousers; they arc
made very wide at the bottom and the
outside Is embroidered In rlcn silks Oh
the same color as the material. These
are very like Spanish trousers, only
that the Spanish trousers are of bright
colors and embroidered with gold and
beads, such as the girls wear who ride
In my show. Then there Is a tight At
ting vest, with a coat which clings 70
the figure without being tight. 1t is
opened down the back and front and
hooks on either side of the knee, so
that when the wearer rides fast or 1t Is
blown by the wind 1t keeps its place.
There Is nothing at all Misunderstanding
about the costume. Even when the
wearer dismounts the coat gives the ap-
p%earance of a knee skirt, and the trou-
sers, which hang below, are SO wide
and pretty that even the most fastid-
ious could not call them immodest.
These suits are usually relieved by a
high collar and white necktie."

Caring for the Eyes.

To touch on the mere matter Of car
ing for the eyes, 1t is sufficient preface,
to say that there Is as much, yes, and
more, necessity of caring for the eyes
as for keeping the hands pliable and
useful. Yet either may be used almost
constantly during waking hours and
still retain their qualities in gratifying
measure. The secret Is to use, but
not to abuse. It has been claimed that
society women are the only people
who take proper are of their eyes.
In this sense, it must be confessed
that the treatment accorded the eyes
ia rather that of disuse than care. From
very late in the morning till much later
at night-that is, from the time OF ris-
ing till they retire-the constant study
is how to use the organs OF vision, In
order that they may retain their beau
ty unimpaired. Fans are almost per-
petually carried, their first and princt-
pal use being for the protection of the
eyes from any disagreeable light. Para
soils are of course in vogue for all out
door experience. This matter may be
carried to an extreme, but within rea-
sonable limits it is the natural sequence
of the thoughtfulness which furnished
