SEA NYNPnS' HEADGEAR.

n ATHING hats this season are very
II quaint. broad straw brim is
tied with ribbons under the chin
- and has a mob cap crown of silk
or linen to match the suit. The
straw poke is becoming to some, and II 80
is very becoming indeed. Ribbon strings
and lace or ribbon flounce as 'curtain"
over the Dape of the neck make it very
quaint and useful. A mob cap OF linen, with
a double linen ruffle about the face and
ears, is quite new, and just about wee
bit babyish just enough to look tempting
on sweet sixteen, or eighteen, or even
twenty.
That a head covering of some sort is
necessary is agreed to preserve the color
OF the hair and to prevent sunstroke IL for
nothing else. And most women are a deal
more bewitching with few loosely blowing
curls on the forehead and nape than whole
frowsily blown coiffure. The linen or law
caps are especially pretty, with white
chemisette that shows above the bodice
at the neck and for u hit below the short
sleeves.

LOVE MADE HER INSANE.

Mad Woman TerrOrizes . Whole
NeighbOrhOOd With a Knife.
williamsport, Pa, Sept. 11.-Miss Amap-
da Bussler. an insane woman, who has been
kept in room at her fathers house in
NippeDose Valley for several years, es-
capped on Wednesday by jumping from her
second-story prison.
She got possession Of a butcher knife and
then ran three miles to the home OF fam
lily on Antes Creek, where she put all the
inmates to flight by brandishing her keen
edged weapon. A young woman had just
driven to the house to make a can when the
maniac ran from the front door and fright
ened the caller so badly that she whipped up
her horse and drove down the road at a
rapid rate, the mad woman in pursuit.
The unfortunate woman was finally
subdued. She went insane two years ago
because Of a love affair.

every other day the floors should be thor

BALM FOR BLIGHTED LOVE.
Philadelphia Lawy er Sued for so, 900
for Breach of Promise.

for Rreach of Promise.
Philadelphia. Sept. ia suit for S20,-
900 damages for breach OF promise of mar
riage was yesterday begun by Flora Ben
sou against r. Taylor Middleton. a con-
veyancer, living at the southeast corner uf
Twelfth and Spruce streets. Tile defend
ant is about forty years old, and the fair
plaintiff says she met him in August. 1899.
He began to pay his addresses. which re-
suited in their engagement in November OF
the same year.
Since the engagement, the plaintiff says,
she has not received the addresses OF any
other person, and that the defendant, up
to within the last ten days, repeatedly re-
iterated and reaffirmed his promise to
marry her. She says that during all that
time the addresses Of the defendant were
OF a most marked character, lie being with
her constantly, taking her to places of
amusement and not permitting her TO re-
ceiye the visits of any other acquaintance
III August last, she says, he directed
her to prepare for the maria &c, and ac
companied her to the dreSsmaker while
she ordered a wedding trousseau. Ee eN-
pressed his approval Of the articles selected,
and she notified her friends Of the coming
marriage and made every arrangement
Within the last ten days, however, the de
fentlant has absolutely refusedto marry her,
alleging that his financial condition will OF
permit his carrying out his promise.
The plaintiff says she believes this state.
ment to be false absolutely and without
foundation, and that owing TO his prom
ise and at his request she refused to accept
lucrative employment, and that as re-
suit She has sustained an irreparable loss
and suffered in wounded feelings to an ex-
tent which cannot be estimated by any pc
cuniary standard, but her damages would
exceed $50 900.

HON TO STOP BLEEDING.

4 RANY mother, says physician
III has had terrible fright by a
N child running in with its clothes,
i hands and face all smeared with
blood. 1t is astonishing what a
mess a child will manage to make with
q little blool. You will find, most prob
ably, when you have washed with cold
water, that the amount of injury Is a
mere trine. Ifait is difficult to stop the
bleeding, a most valuable remedy Is the
common whiting, or pipe clay.
Put thick covering OF either OF these
on the wolnd, then bit of dry lint, and
press it closely for few minutes. Let
what sticks to the wound remain there and
cover with a bit Of plaster.
Bleeding from the nose, unless 1t goes
too far need not alarm you-nay, in many
cases 1t may prevent something much more
serious-but when it requires to be stop
ped. let the child sit upright, bathe the neck
and face with cold water and dissolve a
little alum in water and squirt it up the
nostriIs. II this does not succeed send for
the doctor.

But it is not only inability to sell, but
inability to collect promptly for goods
sold, that impalrs the ability of debtors
to promptly pay their debts, and hence
undermines credit and destroys conf
dence. It is therefore in falling prices
that we find the source of the want Of
confidence Of which. we hear so much.
The restoration Of confidence, we are
told, is all that is needed TO bring re-
neWed. prosperity. but how is confidence
to be restored while prices are falling,
while the value Of property, the basis Of
credit is depreciating, and while the abil-
.ity Of the debtor to meet his indebted
ness is being impaired by the shrinkage
of his assets? just as the creditor sees
the property Of his debtor on which he
relies for ayment epreciating in value,
he must lose confidence, for the proper
