LIyea Thouah rerrlbly Injured.

Henry J. Luton is GO years old, and his home is in Clarendon, Warren county, Pa On Aug. 10, 1885, Luton, who was an oil operator, was working at the foot of a derrick being built on the hillside Through some cause or other three fourths inch iron bar 91 feet long fell from the top of the derrick, "A feet. One end of the bar struck on tho right of Luton s neck, went In between the jugular and windpipe, came out l1k inches from tho right nipple, struck two inches below the groin on left limb, out 3H inches above the right knee joint and took of ono of his toes, the bar burying itself eight inches in the ground. Luton was standing on tho hillside at tho time, and feet 10 inches of the bar passed through him. It passed through r inches of his mock and body, and # inches went through his limb. Tho victim was pinned 10 tho ground, but showed his wonderful presence of mind by sliding down from the slight elevation ho was standing on to the ground. Ho called on man of the name of Phillips, who extracted the bar. Lut- ton fingered Ut the point of death for six weeks and lived six days and seven nights on beef blood and brandy, which was ad- ministered by means of a rubber tube.- Pittsburg Dispatch.

WOMAN OF FASHION.
Attempt to Develop the Rounding Shoulders of Early Century Days.

 Gown Should Be.
rcoPYRIGHT. 1so5.l

Physical culturists are bending their energies to the development of those soft, rounding shoulders which were the pride of danes and damsels of early century days. Our 'grandmothcrs were dependent upon the freaks and vaga- rics of nature for these attractions, but inventive genius has not confined itself to the discovery of new kinds of flying machines or new remedies for deadly disease. Science has stretched out in every direction, and in it's search after blessings for the good of humanity it has not overlooked woman's first con sideration-her beauty. For years the efforts in this direction have been ex- pended upon means for adding to na- turc's gifts by artificial help. Face washes, hair dyes and innumerable paddings were the result. But since women have turned their minds to more important matters they find very little time to apply these artificial charms, and of late the tendency has been to aid nature in her effort to bring her subject to it's highest perfection, rather than supplement her work when it has only had half a chance for completion. Women have discovered that the body must be exercised in order to develop. and exercised with purpose in view. If the arms are lean and rank they must have course of training with dumb bells or Indian clubs. The bicycle has developed more muscles than any other modern invention, and, notwithstand- ing the unlSind things that have been said about those who ride and the

No More Cast Iron Water Pipes.

In the opinion of practical and experi- enccd judges the days of cast iron water pipes as compared with steel arc nearing an end. They arc considered to represent too much dead weight for too little strength. In fact, it is asserted that able engineers long ago reached the conclusion that the most costly and least satisfactory way of protecting iron against oxidation is with moro bulk of its own substance, and those concerned in tho future of the cast iron pipc admit that 1t Is destined soon to take it's place among the materials forced into disuss by the progress of arts.

questionable costumes which they have brought into vogue, the majority arc compelled to admit that they are great boon to womankind.
 However, the physical culturists have not been content merely to give the body a general shaking up, but like other kinds of scientists they have be- gun to specialize. It is a source of the greatest wonder to the uninitiated how actresses, and other women who live upon their good looks, are able to pre- serve their charms against such fearful odds of late hours and hard work. To learn the secret one must visit many men of widely differing professions, but all striving for the same end-to make woman beautiful. Every accom- plishment, however, removed from physical develt pment, begins with some kind of bodily exercise. The elo- cutionist has more of such training than other professionals outside of the actual histrionic class. She must learn to wag her head as kimberly as her tongue, for thus are her neck and shoulders developed. There is prob- ably not an actress on the stage who does not every night describe imag- mary circles through the air with her head swinging on the pivot of her spine.
 The directions are: Swing the head around in complete circle, making the chin touch the chest in front, and the back hair the shoulders.
 Most women are beginning to appre- xbox {x, ord << 1auo1o,, onr, orf of the body it must have freedom of movement and uninterrupted circula- tion.. In view of this fact it seems strange that high collars of unbending and unbreaking stiffness should have so long reign.
 "The stock has been the ruin of many a pretty neck," said well-known dramatic teacher. You see, it con. fines the throat too closely, prevents free movement, partially impedes the circulation, and keeps the air out. thin, stiff, ungraceful and lifeless. An. other objection to the high collar is its tendency to make an ugly line about the throat where the edge rubs against 1t. This last Is the most objectionable feature about 1t, and it's discomfort ranks next"
 This sounds very bed for the beauty of the coming woman, but visit to the opera or some large ball is sufficient to !, dlspel one's fears for the woman that Is. In some way-how, the masseurs or the professors of gymnastics could best tell, if they would-the society woman manages to keep her neck and shoulders full and round and beautiful.
 Fashion is disposed to test this fact to the utmost, for the decollete waist con- tinues to slip down and down until 1t almost justifes the remark of the young man who said that he felt very anxious about the young lady whom he escort ed, as the responsibility for the sup port of her entire gown rested upon two slender straps of daisies that threatened to part at the top of her shoulders on the slightest provocation.

The velvet sleeves are merely sort of monstrous black bracelet around the upper arm, thus ad- vantageously disclosing the graceful curve of the arm and shoulder-the waist being supported by velvet straps over the shoulders. As if to carry out the tHeme of the costume the damsel who wore this gown wore two wlsite cbryanthemums.-in in her glossy black hair.
 Another evening dress similar in cut is made ofstriped silk ornamented with velvet choux placed close to the edge around the bottom of the skirt.

Tbere were also lace epaulettes and jabot. The !, only other trimming was a velvet girdle and three rows of jet around the bot-> tom of the skirt.

A GREAT WOLF DOG.
Some Fine Points Which Developed When
He Was Put to the Test.

He was Put TO the Test.
A reporter was talking to an old hunt
er who had lived many years in the
west and other regions where hunting
was part of mans daily living, and
the conversation turned on dogs after
it had run to considerable length in 9th
er directions.
"Iremember, said the old man, with
q little, low, soft, reminiscent snicker,
"of wolf dog that my boy Jim got off
of Teller that you might call a tramp
these times. Jim had an idea he knowed
everything about dogs that was to be
knowed, and when this tramp feller
come along with a wiry, mean lookin
dog and wanted to trade him fer pint
of whisky Jim lowed he was power
full wolf dog, and the tramp feller said
thar WASH better one in the country,
fer he was bred feriwolves pertikler, so
Jim ups and swaps pint of liquor fer
the dog, and the tramp feller gifts along
his journey, and Jim goes to slickin the
dog and gittin him ready fer wolf that
he knowed was chasin his hogs up in
the mountain.
Zone mornin bright and early Jim set
out with the dog to give the wolf run,
and about two hours afterward, the
dog had the wolf goin lickety split. The
wolf tuck round the pint of the hill
with the dog after him, and Jim lowed
he could cut across the top and git in
ahead of 'em in good time to see the
dog chaw up the wolf, fer he prided
himself on that dog and had been tellin
the whole neighborhood what fine dog
he had picked up
Course Jim knowed dogs, and he
knowed that dog of his'n would chaw
the wolf up in no time, and he went
over the hill chucklin. When he got to
where he thought the dog and wolf
ought to pass, there wasn't a sign, and
Jim sot down to wait. It wasn't long
till a feller come along, and Jim hailed
him.

QUEEN oE HEARTS.

From dainty feet to parted hair
My lady is sunbeam snare,
And all the flowers look at her
And think she is a fairer flower,
Such laughing beauty is her dover,
Such love dreams in her brown eyes stir.
In midair poised to hear her sing,
The skylark ho-ers quivering,
And all the leaves that shift and sigh
Seem whispering of her loneliness,
While softest winds her curls caress
And kiss her mouth as oft as I.
All men and women as we meet
Are glad and swift to serve my sweet,
And others crushed in crowded marts,
Sunk low in sin and misery,
Her lily hands lift tenderly-
And those, too, call her "Queen of
Hearts"
