Noah After the Flood.

The first fruit planted by Noah when
he left the ark was the grape, the most
healthy of all the products of the earth.
All through the Bible we read OF grapes
and wine from grapes being recon-
mended as the first remedy for the ills
OF life: but it is pure Juice wine, not
watered and sugared juice that the
Bible refers to. .----
Sugared wines are highly alchoholic
and starchy; the sugar making excess
Of alcohol and other products not be-
longing to a healthful wine.
Speer of New Jersey, the oldest wine
grower in the United States, has studi-
ously avoided water and sugar or any
foreign substance whatever, but has
his wine fully matured BY great age
and careful handling.

WEST SIDE EVENTS.
Travel on West Lackawanua Avenue
Was Delayed BY o Peculiar Acct
dent Yesterday Afternoon.
Scranton and Taylor.

Street car and other vehicular travel
was retarded for over a half hour yes
terday afternoon by a peculiar acci-
dent on West Lackawanna avenue.
Workmen under the supervision Of
John Barber were moving q large
smoke stack from Finchs foundry on
Eighth street to Robinson's brewery
on Seventh street. In order to make
the TRANSPORTATION it was necessary to
go by way of West Lackawanna ave-
nue.. The stack is sixty-five feet long,
Is five foot deep and weighs five tons.
1t was loaded upon the two trucks OF
u wagon. each truck bearing the ex-
tremities of the boiler Four horses
were attached and the trip begun. As
the West Lackawanna avenue corner
was being turned from Seventh street.
the rear wheels struck the elevated
sidewalk in an oblique way. This
caused the truck to swerve and the
end of the heavy boiler tumbled to the
ground.
The other end was on the opposite
side of Lackawanna avenue, thus ef-
fectually blocking the road. After
about forty five minutes work the big
lengthwise on the opposite side Of the
avenue. Meanwhile the road was
blocked with wagons Of every descrip-
tion. Seventh street cars were de-
layed and the passengers had to be
transferred from one car to another.
This is another argument for the VIA
duet II one had been there no delay
to traffic would have occurred.

RULES FOR THE SUMMER GIRL.

First-Remember that a good voice is as
essential to self-possssion as good ideas
are essential to fluent language. The voice
should be carefully trained and developed;
q full, clear, flexible voice is one of the
surest indications of good breeding.
Second Remember that one may be
witty without being popular: voluble with
out being agreeable; a great talker and
yet a great bore.
Third-Be sincere. One who habitually
sneers at everything Will not only render
herself disag reeable to others, but will
soon cease to find pleasure in life.
Fourth-Be frank. A frank, open coun-
tenance and clear, CHEEKY laugh are
worth far more even socially than "pedan-
try IN a stiff cravat.'
Fifth-Be amiable. You may hide a vim
dictive nature under a polite exterior for
a time as a cat masks its sharp claws in
velvet fur, but the least provocation
brings out one as quickly as the other,
liked
Sixth-Be sensible. Society never lacks
for fools. and what you may consider
very entertaining nonsense may soon be
looked upon as very tiresome folly.
Seventh-Be cheerful If you have no
great trouble on your mind you have no
right to render other people miserable by
your long face and dolorous tones. If you
do you will be generally avoided.
Eightil-Above all be cordial and sym
pathetic. True cordially and sympathy
unite all the other qualities enumerated.
and are certain to secure the popularity
so dear TO the heart of everyone.

HAPPY AFTERNOON CLUB.
Mothers and Children Both Get the

EUR.
A certain wise mother has originated
a plan whereby she kills two birds with
one stone Tor not only are her own and
her neighbours children given the pleas
ure of having company and each cn d
in its turn taught how to entertain and
to practice the unSelfishness required Of
host or hostess; but the mothers them
selves are equal sharers with their chill
dren in the pleasure brought about by
this unique IDEA. This bright woman has
the common sense to realize that she
grows petty and narrow and easily ir-
much or merely seeks recreation in maxi
ing calls and talking small talk SO she
has found three other mothers who think
as she does and they four have formed a
'Happy Afternoon Club in joining which
they agree to have the children of the
other three at the house of one of the
members once q month for the afternoon
Opera, concert, theatre golf, tennis or
Whatever takes the other mothers away
ed with an easy mind, as the stay-at-home
mother promises not to delegate the
somewhat onerous honors to anyone else
but start all the fun-ging in person for
the children left in her care. At first it
was hard work, but what a gala day for
the youngsters, and a little tact and good
management soon made the afternoon
more enjoyable than a real party and ac-
customed them to Society at an early
by the others and in thinking up games
and entertainment for the little folks the
mothers are wonderfully refreshed and
have been quite as much the gamers as
the children ana other parents are adj
vlSed to try this simple plan.

THE NELLER's SONG.

Once she was Dainty Dorothy,
Dorothy of the Mill.
Sweet as a thorny wild-roSe,
That dews of evening fill;
Now she folds tattered petals
Around a wounded heart.
And oh, her sister Roses
They shrink from her apart!
Do you remember Dorothy,
Days that have flown away
With rose, and lilac, and hawthorn
Fled with a parted May?
Do you remember kisses
Snatched by the eldertree?
Vows that were made, and broken
Dorothy. Dorothy?
Since you were SYSTEMATICALLY
Many a rose has died;
Many a rosebud broken
Her jealous sheathS aside.
And who was Queen of Roses
Is changed and pale of blee;
No man now seeks Maid Marian,
All men seek Dorothy.
Allan-a-Dale is singing
Tonight in Avalon;
And there's no horn could waken
Scarlet of Little John;
Only the Miller wanders
The silent ways of Shore,
And would that he were lying
Dead of your tkorns, my dear.

ing it up tc a normal condition: Stand
at an open window or reclile on a couch
with the waist and chest unconfined; hold
the chest walls high and inhale in slow,
long breaths; exhale as slowly three
times only at first. Gradually the number
of times may be increased and the time
heightened for the breathing exercises.
Fifteen minutes, twice a day, at least,
should be devoted to this exercise to ac-
