A Village Rising Bell.

For more than 20 years Bowmans-
vile, Pa, has had what is known as q
village bell. 1t is swung between two
high upright poles and was paid for by
public subscription. Every day the bell
is rung three times-at 8 80 o'clock a.
m, II o'clock a. m. and o'clock in
the afternoon. The leading object of its
ringing is to announce to farmers and
other working people the time Of day.
The first bell i'll the morning at Bow
mansville is the signal for the people to
arise, and in summer most of the resi-
dents are out that early. The IL O'Clock
bell announces that it is the time to
leave the fields and prepare for dinner.
At o'clock in the afternoon they pre-
pare for supper. - Cor. Philadelphia

For Black Eyes.

1t is often the case that people meet
with accidents and bruises that cause
disfguring discolorations, from which
they suffer not little embarrassment
and annoyance. 1t is worth while to
know that there is simple remedy, and
one quite within the reach Of every one
Immediately after the accident mix an
equal quantity of capsicum annum with
mucilage made Of gum arabic. To this
add a few drops of glycerin. The
bruised surface should be carefully
cleansed and dried, then painted all
over with the capsicum preparation.
Use a camel's hair brush and allow it
to dry, then put on the second or third
coat as soon as the first is entirely alb.
sorbed. A medical journal is authority
for the statement that if this course is
pursued Immediately after the injury
discoloration of the bruised tissue will
be wholly prevented. 1t is also said that
this remedy is unequaled as cure for
rheumatism or stiffness Of the neck.

OILING THE SEA.
The Wonderful Erect on Enormous Waves.
A Curious Sight.

The Wonderful Erect on Enormous Waves.
A Curious Sight.
One Of the most curious sights at sea
Is that of an oil bound ship.
Every up to date ship carries oil
tanks, the quantity varying with the
size Of the vessel. For instance,
steamer of $50 tons burden carries ON
an average 80 gallons of oil This oil is
the refuse discarded by the oil refining
factories and often consists Of mixture
Of whale oil, petroleum and vegetable
oil. 1t costs about twopence a gallon,
and large sized vessel can be we'll sup
piled for 20 shillings
The oil is slowed in spacious zinc
tanks, arranged in the hold of the ship
to act as ballast. Each tank contains 90
gallons of oil, and an ingenious mechan-
ical tap arrangement connects the tank
with the outside of the vessel
If a dangerous gale arises and the
ship becomes unmanageable and likely
to founder, the sluices are opened, and
20 gallons or more Of the oil is allowed
to escape into the sea.
The effect is instantaneous. However
stormy the sea may be, the vessel lies
in a gently heaving millpOnd. There is
no further danger of laundering, and
the oil moves along with the vessel for
some time, often half an hour, after
which it breaks up and disperses. The
ship must slacken speed a little, and
more oil is let out from the tanks.
Enormous waves may bear down on the
ship, but ON approaching the magic
oiled circle they seem to melt away and
pass harmlessly beneath the vessel.
Sailing vessels are not so often fur
nished with oil tanks as steamers. 1t II
estimated, however, that over 200 YES
sells have been saved from shipwreok b!
means of the oil tanks since they wer,
introduced few years ago. 1t is onl!
in cases of absolute peril that the tank
are resorted to.-LondOn Answers.

A Rap at the Men.

If O woman cannot throw stone or
catch a mouse, men ought to cease
plaguing her about her disability. AS
rule, men do things which they can
not-writing up toilets, for instance.
A man once told me that bride wore
"white corduroy, cut on the bias and
trimmed with crinoline. Anything
more awful than that haven't encoun-
tered until today, when I read of anoth-
er bride "arrayed in cream organdie
silk and muslin, trimmed with chi
gnon." Fancy the honey turned to gall
in reading descriptions like these after
the wedding.
Oh, yes, the rural correspondent is

A CITY PASTEL.
Pictured In the Dens Where Editors and
Wealthy PrOOfreaders Toll.

Wealthy PrOOfreaders Toll.
Once upon a time a wealthy proof
reader who possessed an entire box Of
matches was accosted by an INDECENT
editor who wanted fire for his pipe and
possessed nothing but a copy Of the
"Light Of Asia" The proOfreader thus
importuned declared he could give his
comrade no assistance, as his matches
wero hard come by and he had nothing
but good, fat salary between himself
and heartless world. The editor de-
clared he was in the same fix, and the
proofreader relented and gave him one
measly fugitive match with head on
it that was so small it was only pim-
pie.
"This match" said the editor as he
struck it, (which you have SO generous
" donated to the relief of suffering hu-
manity has effected marvellous revo-
luton in society for so small thing. I
recollect my grandfather telling me Of
the trouble they used to have in obtain
ing lights in the old days-how he
would sit up i'll bed while grandma
would paddle around in her pretty bare
feet hunting the flint on cold winter
mornings, and how when she had found
it while she was knocking q spark out
of the old flint and steel he was sure Of
another half hours nap. Wowl That
internal thing burned my fingers. Gim-
me another matchP'
"NOt to any extent, replied the op-
ulent proofreader. "If you had spent
the time you wasted on that chestnut
in lighting your pipe, you would have
been out of the woods. You can either
hunt flint and steel or procure light
from one of Mr.. Edison's candles. -

MERIT, NOT MAGIC

NENtAy ANOA HAFAOAS
Think of it! Furniture sales
are almost doubling the new
record of a year ago! Merit,
not magic. A year ago we
gathered vast quantities of
Furniture at prices newly
small-that is, we sold de-
pendable Furniture cheaper
than it ever had been sold.
Conditions allowed the posi-
ton taken then. The outlook
was gloomy, but makers kept
at work.
Today we're selling Furni-
ture a fourth cheaper than
then.
But makers have taken their
stand. Many factories are
closed. They'll do no work
until they can do it prohtably.
That's the story in a nutshell.
We've $500, 600 worth of good
to elegant Furniture at prices
never nearly reached for low
ness. There seems no human
possibility for prices again to
touch so low. There seems
every possibility of the princi-
pal factors being able to hold
down production to a point
that shall lead to profitable
work. A good many prognos-
tications have failed in the
years agonc. This one will
scarcely fail. The Furniture
is its own mutely eloquent ar
gument for your quick buying.
Lots cannot be duplicated
lots are daily lessening. Well
pass all August Furniture rec
ords by thousands of dollars
simply because it is very profit
able to you to act quickly.
