MORE GAS AND OIL.

Week Ago.

In the vicinity OF McKeesport, Pa, as else

has had the effect of increasing the pressure
of wells in the natural gas belt. The earth
quake Is said to have considerably agitated
the interior OF the earth, and opened up the
gas and oil wells. so that old wells that were
thought to be past usefulness are now pro-
ducers. Wells whose pressures measured
ounces now have "A pressure OF pounds, it is
said. The Grnpeville and Murrayville dis

Not DISCOURAGED.

The majority given on Tuesday against
municipal suffrage for women In Massachus-
etts was 1900. The suffrayists represented
by DIR. Henry b. Blackwell, say they are much
encouraged by this result, considering the
small amount OF money which they could use
and the short time Tor work. The "Yes' vote

ENGLISH SHOES.

The remark that Americans, while in
England, often send home to buy shoes,
because the English shoes are of such
poor quality, called out from one Ameri-
can present this story:
An American in England, who had
bought a pair of shoes at fashionable
dealer carried them back soon with pro-
test.
"Look here" he said, "Tve had these
shoes only two weeks, and they are COM
pletely out of shape and the leather is
giving way in two places"
The Englishman looked at the shoes an
instant.
Dear me! Dear me-" he said you've
been walking in these shoesr ~
walking in them? What else should
do with them
That's it, siri Our shoes are made on
ly for carriage people, sirn'

LIGHTNING AND RUBBER BALLS.

The one thing which a woman most
dreads-barring, of course mouse and
being out of styles a thunder shower.
Many most estimablc women of character
and force, who can lead great crusades
and revolutionize society, go all to pieces
at clap of thunder, and a good many
men, too, for that matter.
1t is not agreeable to be struck by light
ming. Nor is it at all necessary There is a
sure preventive-as sure as it is simple,
inexpensive and always accessble-a pair
of rubbers. If a woman will simply put
on pair of rubbers when the lightning
begins to flash and the thunder to roar,
and will stand on the floor so that she will
be as safe as if she were sealed in glass
cage.
Rubber is nonconductor of electrici
ty, and if the lightning has to go through
sheet of rnbber to get at you it will leave
you alone and take something else. In
other words, when you have on pair of
rubbers and are not in contact with any
thing you are perfectly insulated.
This is not a theory merely. 1t is fact
proven by innumerable experiences. A
pair of rubbers has saved many life in a
thunderstorm.
Last summer Horace W Folger of Cam
bridgeport, Mass, was ON a pilotboat in
Boston harbor, when thunder shower
came up. He was on deck wearing rub
Der boots, but steadying himself with one
hand by wire cable from the main top
mast. Lightning struck the topmast,
shivering it to splinters. Down the cable
went the current Folger was knocked
unconscious. When he recovered, he was
full of aches and pains, but he pulled
through. If it had not been for the rub
ber boots, the current would have passed
entirely through him. AS it was the cur
rent could not get though his boots, so it
passed down the cable
1t might be well to add that pair of
rubbers to be effective against lightning
must be sound aud whole Do not put ON
an old pair with a crack in the toe because
electricity will get out of IA very small
hole when it is cornered, and pair of de-
fective rubbers will do you no good.

LUXURY.

1t is strange that the authors who have
written so much about luxury, whether
they praise it satirically, or condemn it
very seriously, or merely inquire into its
history and traditions, Should never have
been struck with the amount of diScOm-
fort it entails In modern as well as in
ancient times, the same Jealous pursuit OF
prodi gality results in the same heavy bur-
den of undesirable possessions. The youth
full daughter of Marie Antoinette was al
lowed, we are told, four pairs of shoes a
week, and NJ. Taine, inveighing bitterly
against the extravagances of the French
court, has no word of sympathy to spare
for the unfortunate little princess, con-
demned by this ruthless edict always to
wear new shoes. Louis XVI had 80 doc
tors of his own, but surely no one will be
found to envy him this royal supert1uity.

Scrofula may appear as humor, or it may
attack the glands oft the neck, or break out
in dreadful running sores on the body or
limbs Attacking the mucous membrane,
it may develop into catarrh or loding in
the lungs lead to consumption. Come as

WATCHING FOR PAPA.
Up at the window are three little heads,
Lucys and Willie's, and two -year-old Fred's;
What are they doing there all in a row.
Bobbing up, bobbing down, every way so.
Watching for Papa to come home to tea,
Dear is their Papa to all of the three;
Which pair of little eyes sp arkling AMI bright
Think you will be first to see him tonight?
Hark! who is that now whose footsteps they hear?
Far out are heads stretched to see him draw near
Somebody's Papa-p perhaps-but not theirs
Up at the three little faces he stares.
Back from the window bobs each little head
Papa, make haste now,' says dear baby Fred;
Now they all zee him just coming in sight;
Han k how they clap hands, and scream with delight
Happy at last, not moment they wait.
Laughing and shouting they rush to the gate.
Joyfully Papa the little troop meets,
Each rosy mouth with kisses he greets
Up in his strong arms he takes little Fred,
Willie and Lucy go dancing ahead:
Into the house all four of them come
Mamma stands smiling her bright welcome home.
Pulling and tugging they make him sit down.
One brings his slippers, another his gown;
Round him they hover and chatter with gee
While they are waiting the summons to tea.
Little they know how their sweet loving ways
Comfort him after the wearisOme days.
Arms full and lap full of dear little pets,
All of his worries and cares he forgets

CeaseIess Care Necessary to Ward
on Il Troublesome Mouth Trouble.
What is commonly known among
dentists as Riggs disease of the gums
is a prevalent evil. 1t is a recession
of the flesh from the teeth, which is
scarcely perceptible to the sufferer, and
requires a skilled eye to detect it even
in an advanced stage of the complaint.
Its danger lies in the fact that the
enamel on the teeth is several times
thicker above and below the skin than
under 1t. Now, What is called the nor
mai line of the gum, tine dentine or I'M
enameled portion is not exposed, and
nature provides tine Heavier shell coat
ing to protect the visible part, not only
from cold and climatic conditions but
from the danger generated by small
microbes floating about the mouth after
eating
Therefore, when the gums recede
from the teeth towards the root the
dentine is left a helpless prey to every
acid the mouth contains, and decay be-
gins at the top, cutting off all hope of
saving the lawer part.
This recession, as l said, is rarely
visible except to the dentist. Its prop
able effect is slight bleeding of the

while the teeth seemingly remain in
their normal condition.
The cause of the irritation is tartar
poison.
The saliva, Of the mouth is partly
formed Of phosphate of lime, which, by
chemical action, is converted into tar
tar This fastens itself upon the roots
of the teeth and irritating the tender
membrane causes a bleeding, sore con-
dition.
In this weakened, porous condition,
these fnnumerable microbes that Turk
in the cavities of the mouth. float out
from their hiding places and seize upon
the wounded line of skin This, is the
fatal condition and onl the most care
full treatment dislodges them. The tar
tar substance becomes poisonous and
the whole eats it's way into the gums,
which stuff and gradually decrease
OF course, this disease is not common
to every mouth. 1t is caused, primarily,
by an acid condition of the saliva,
hereditary in some constitutions and
its earliest arrester is an anticeptic
Should however, any bleeding occur in
brushing, a dentists help should be
called in.
The treatment for it continues from
six months to a year, and even then
the QlS6dSS Is only arrested, the Ie-eS-
adjustment of the gum is never as
sured.
The nature of the disease is so in
sidious that prudent women Should see
to it that the mouth is frequently ex-
amined. Amy dentist can tell whether
a person is inclined to this condition.
and at once remove the tartar and adj
wise an anticeptic that destroys the
microbes.
In fact, some such preparation should
be frequently used to retain a healthy
condition of every part Of the mouth.
A two per cent solution of salicylic
acid is especially recommended by the
profession. HENRY STERLING.

But among others the old-fashioned
donkey party has been revived and
a new within is to dress the guests ais
vegetables; all the green and col0red
things beloved by his ass-ship.

What to Wear.
The costumes may be lampshade
paper or common calico.
Either medium, if cleverly handled,
will turn out an effective and ineXpen-
sive vegetable, and a carrot and "a let
tuce may be made in this way:
A Red Vegetable.
For a carrot choose calico of a yell
lowish red shade for the skirt, and the
same material in the green of THE tops
for the bodice. Have first a killed
skirt of the carrot tint, and then over
it peplum drapery of long pieces
shaped as much as possible like the
legume.
The low, green bodice has no sleeves,
and is best in a pointed shape with
green ribbons finished with high up
standing bows forming the shoulder
straps.
"a green fillet and tufted side bow or
naments the hair; the long gloves are
Of deep green suede.
From the waist up, as can ibe seen,
grows then only the green tops, and
to keep all the lower part of the co.'s
tune in harmony with the idea, the
slippers and stockings are in the car
rot tint.
A Salad Toilet.
The tough lanpshade paper-the I'M
crinkled sort-affords the best POSSIBLE
titles for the lettuce, which, however,
must begin with a foundation of cot
ton. Make a, low, round bodice and
short, scant skirt Of this, over which
the paper skirt, in leaf sections, shIad-
ing all the way from white to deepest
green, is next TO be glued. Model deli
cately the edges of the leaves with a
dull knife and put them on the found
alton as if the vegetable were growing
downward.

French tastes, and are of that sweet
slim, white type that is most adorable
Wilen audacious, you might copy Clair
ms white Pierrette.
The Pierritte Dress.
This charming costume, which is a
sort of sister to the Pierrots. is made
of white satin and ribbon and thin,
white lace. The short, gored skirt is
first trimmed with fiounces of lace up
to the waist; over each of these falls a
second one of the satin in deep points.
The bodice of satin is pointed at the
waist, and the sleeves which fit tight
TO the elbow are there finished with
heavy fall of the lace. A bertha of this
trims the low round neck. and falls in
ends mingled with long loops of the
ribbon over the shoulders. Two other
bows with f1oUting ends tie about the
sleeves above the lace flounce; the long,
white Directodre cane which is carried
in the right hand is also ornaInented
with a, large bow. Add to all this a
full ruche of lace that is worn snugly
about the bare throat, a pointed clown
cap of white felt, suede gloves, silk
stockings and sqUare-toed shoes with
lace rrOTnDOnetteS
