Miss Jessie Reichling, one Of the most
popular young ladies o. SparkilI, met
sad death there recently, says dis
patch While helping to decorate the
Sparkill Episcopal Church for Christ.
mas, Miss Reichling is supposed to have
been bitten by spider or an insect of
some sort. A small sore resembling a
fever blister appeared on her
cheek near the mouth but not
much attention was paid to
it at first. On Sunday it
had grown SO much worse and was
swollen SO badly that a doctor was
called. 1t kept getting worse, however,
and on Monday it was found necessary
to lance it. When this was done,
among the poisonous substance which
issued were found two little specks sup
posed to be seeds of worms that had
been stung into her cheek by the insect
that bit her. 1t swelled again this time
not only in her cheek, but her arm and
body on one side were swollen to such
degree that it was lanced a second
time. The services of two doctors were
secured, but despite their efforts she
passed away about l o'clock on Thurs

Saving Money.

A woman of large experience once
said: Next to the pleasure of spend
ing money is the pleasure of saving it,
Tt is really a fascinating problem to see
how much each dollar can be made to
do" The men of the family, passing
through a severe mental strain, need all
the cheer that they can get, and the
home atmosphere is either invigorating
or depressing. just as the women choose
to make it. Depression is deyitalizing
and paralyzes effort, SO that on the low
est, selfish grounds alone, if a woman
can by her own cheerful courage inspire

Transparent Leather.

According to the Magasin Picturesque,
transparent leather can now be made.
Before the hide is absolutely dry it is
placed in room which the RAYS of the
sun do not penetrate, and is saturated
with solution of bichromate of potash.
When the hide is very dry there is ap-
piled to its surface an alcoholic solution
of tortoise shell, and a transparent as
pect is thus obtained. This leather is
exceedingly flexible. 1t is used for the
manufacture of toilet articles, but there
is nothing to prevent it from being used
for foot-gear, and perhaps, with fancy
stockings, shoes made of it would not
prove unpleasant to the sight. They
would, at least, have the advantage of
originality.

The Puzzle Solved.

Perhaps no local disease has puzzled and
baffied the medical profession more than
nasal catarrh. While not Immediately fatal
it is among the most nauseous and disgust
ing ills the flesh is heir to, and the records
show very few or no cases of radical cure of
chronic catarrh by any Of the many modes
of treatment until the introduction of Ely s
Cream Balm few years ago. The success
of this preparation has been most gratifying
and surprising.

A Boon to Humanity.

A number Of our great and most in
verate tobacco smokers and chewers
have quit the use of the filthy weed.
The talismanic article that does the
work is No-to-bac. The reform was
started by Aaron GOrher. who was
confirmed slave for many years to the
use of tobacco. He tried the use of
No-to-bac, and to his great surprise
and delight it cured him. Hon. G. W.
Ashcom, who had been smoking for
sixty years, tried No-to-bac, and it
cured him. Col Samuel Stoutaner. who
would eat up tobacco like a COW eats
hay, tried this wonderful remedy, and
even Samuel. after all his years of
slavery, lost the desire. j. G. Cobler,
Leasing Evans, Frank Dell. Geo. B.
May, G. O. Skillingtcn, Hanson Rob-
inett, Frank Hershberger. John Shinn

physical and mental condition. all of
which goes to show that the Of to-
bacco had been injurious to them in
more ways than one.
All Of the above gentlemen are SO
well pleased with the results that we
do not hesitate TO join them in recon-
ulcnding it to suffering humanity, as
we have thoroughly investigated and
are satisfied that No-to-bac does the
work well and is boon to mankind
The cost Is triiing-a dollar a b)X-
and the makers. the Sterling Remedy
Company, have SO much faith in No
to-bac that they absolutely guarantee
three boxes to cure any case, or refund
