Granddaughter of Charlotte Est.

Mrs Mary A. Shoemaker, grand
daughter of the famous Charlotte Est,
who notified Gen. Washington of the
projected attack on his army by the
British at Germantown, died recently
in Philadelphia. She was born in
Bucks county, September 2G, 1910 Her
grandmother was the daughter OF
Hessian surgeon of Gen, IIowc's com
mand. Charlotte overheard the plot
of tie British officers in her fathers
house for the capture of Washington,
and early next morning, on the pretext
of going to Frankfort for flour, she
rode on horseback to Germantown by
a circuitous route and warned the
American reneral.

STEAMER ON WHEELS.

be made in four days. The rollers are
to enter the water to a depth of about
twenty-six feet and revolve within a
platform placed about twenty-four
feet above the water, SO that there will
be.a rolling instead of a gliding body
as is the case in ordinary ships. The
rollers presumably are to be worked
by engines to secure propulsion. M.
Bazin claims to have settled by exper-
iment that the stability Of the roller
type of vessel is at least as great as
that of the ordinary type, and believes
that the construction of his design of
ship will be much less costly than that
of the usual description. According
to French report it is proposed to put
M. Bazin's plans to practical test by
constructing vessel about four hun
dred feet long and of about ninety
foot beam, with rollers seventy-five
feet in diameter and thirty-five feet
wide. The latter are to make twenty.
| two revolutions per minute.

Andrew Carnegie says the daily
life of the millionaire does not differ
much from the life of men without
millions. He works just as hard as
his poor neighbor, and is, in fact, the
cheapest man in the community. He
may be happy in the possession of
millions, but still even his enjoyments
and powers are limited. All this may
be true, but many Of the millions who
are not millionaires will doubt An
drew's words until personal expert
ence proves them correct.

THE LEGION OF HONOR.


Famous French Order.
Congress has recently passed bill
granting to Gen. o. o. Howard, COM
manding the department of the east,
U. $. A, the right to wear the insignia
of a commander of the Legion of
Honor, bestowed on him by President
Sadi Carnot, of France. From an ae-
count published not long ago we learn
that the Legion of Honor, now the
only French order, was established as
the order of 1.-THE Eagle" in 1902 by
Napoleon when first consul, and orig
inally consisted of three classes,
legionnaires, grand officers and com
manders. But after the coronation of
Napoleon l. in 1904 the first class was
subdivided into "Knights of the Grand
Eagle and Grand Officers" During
the subsequent monarchy the legion
underwent an alteration. The eagle,
already designated cross, now bore
the name of the "Order of the Holy
Ghost" the effigy of Henry ~. being
placed in the center. The cross or

That old established cough remedy,
Downs Elixir, still more than holds its
own in the public estimation, despite
sharp and active competition. 1t is a
home remedy" and in this locality
needs no words of praise from us, so
well and favorably known is it. 1t is
the standard remedy for coughs, colds
and all throat troubles, with great num-
bers of our people, and their continued
use and unsolicited recommendation of
it speaks volumes in its favor.

There is a curious divergence of
opinion among those who profess to
know as to the percentage of adulter
ants in the food supply of this coun
try. Two or three years ago an OF.
timist estimated that only 2 per cent.
of the food product was adulterated,
and that 80 per cent of the adulter-
ants used were not injurious to
health. Other students of the sub
ject place the proportion of adultera-
ton at something between 5 and Is
per cent. of the whole food product
consumed. There is a pretty general
agreement that the percentage of
positively dangerous adulteration is
not very large.

STEAMER ON ROLLERS.

New scheme for Crossing the Atlantic In
Four Days.
Casters Magazine presents new
system of ocean transportation which
has reached this country from France
and which has NJ. Bazin, not unknown
in engineering circles, for its author.
NJ. Bazin proposes, in brief, to build an
Atlantic liner on eight rollers with the
view of securing speed much higher
than any thus far attained, arguing
that the wheels or rollers on which the
vessel is to rest will so greatly dimin-
ish the resistance offered by the waves
that thirty knots an hour will be easily
within the bounds of possibility and
will enable the passage from South
ampton or Liverpool to New York to
