THE HANDLEY APPEAL
Argument was made on the appeal Of
the executors of the Handley estate
from the appraisement of II. T.. Paine
for collateral Inheritance tax purposes.
Hon. H. w. Palmer. of Wilkes Barre,
ed the appeal, and City Solicitor j. Fl.
TOrrey, in the absence of Colonel l..
A. Watres, represented the appraise-
ment.
Mr.. Amerman argued at great length
to the effect that Mr.. Paine appraised
the estate above what 1t Is worth, and
also assessed 1t twice; because he as
sessed the estate in bulk and then
assessed the individual legacies. The
depOsitions of William Connell. John
Jermyn, DR.. b. II. Throop and Senator
]. c. Vaughan and of Judge johnson,
Captain Baker, and other prominent
men of Winchester. Va, were offered
to prove that the appraisement was al
together too high. Mr.. Torrey's argu-
ment was to the effect that the ap-
praisement Is a just and equitable one.

rapid addition to the money circu-
lation gave an impetus to business
all over the country and consider
ably revived the banking interests,
increased the demand for and raised
the price of all products Of the soil
and factory, increased the demand
for labor, and raised wages. Thus
a healthy condition was brought to
the country. But to add immensely
to this improved condition was the
discovery and rapid mining of the
marvelously rich placer mines of
gold in California, which the tens
of thousands of honest and willing
workers, who travelled over the
plains, delved in the sands and
gravel, took out the precious metal
and sent it penetrating every
avenue of the channels of trade.

SHINGLES LAST A CENTURY.
Roofs of Michigan White redar Resist
Climatic Ranges

Roofs of Michigan White redar Resist
Climatic Ravages.
There are said to be Michigan white
cedar shingles now doing good service
on roofs in that state that have been in
full exposure and wear for over rs years
1t is thus seen that climate affects the
durability of shingles, and the fact that
white cedar is the natural product of
Michigan and red cedar of the Pacific
coast is held to be proof that the red
cedar is naturally adapted for use on the
Pacific coast and the white for use in
such sections as the middle and north
western states, etc. A peculiar objec-
ton is brought against the red cedar by
some-nanely: that there exists in that
wood an acid which is, in the climate
of certain sections, so acted upon by
water as to corrode rapidly the nails
with which the shingles are fastened
onto roofs, the rust extending to the
wood around the nails, and soon causing
a leal1y roof-this action explaining the
holes so often to be seen around the
nails in red cedar roofs. Another point
offered for consideration in this connec-
ton is the fact, as stated, that shingle
is ruined by kiln drying, and that no
liln-dried lumber can be regarded as of
equal value for outside work to that
which is air-dried.

A medical man tells us that
scientific cooking and scientific eat
ing are matters entirely apart.
Never sit down to the table with an
anxious or disturbed mind, he
advises. Make it a point to lay
aside all worry for the time being,
and indulge in all the gayety and
pleasantly possible during meal
time. There was good philosophy
in the old time custom of having a
buffoon or music at the dinner table.
Never sit down to meal imme-
diately after any intense mental
effort, for physical and mental
misery are inevitable, and no one
has right to deliberately injure
body or mind.
Never go to a table during bodily
exhaustion-designated by some as
being used up, oyerdone, worn out,
tired to death, and the like. The
wisest thing to be done under such
circumstances is to take cracker
and cup of warm tea, and no
more. In ten minutes you will feel
a degree of refreshment that will be
pleasantly surprising to you-not
of the transient kind that glass of
liquor affords, but permanent. The
tea gives pleasant stimulation and
little strength. and before it sub
sides nutriment begins to draw
from the sugar and cream and
cracker, thus allowing the body
gradually and by safe degrees to re-
tain its usual vigor. A little later
a full meal may be taken with
benefit instead of injury.

THE HOUSEHOLD.

The large black velvet hat is
looming up as the real millinery
leader.
Hip pads are bought by some
women with the same nonchalance
they evince in ordering a bushel OF
potatoes.
Flannel skirts lose their prosaic
quality when made up in pale blue
and pink.
Imagine waist of lowered bro
cade, with sleeves of silk reaching
only to the elbows, but with the
oldest wrinkled sleeves of soft
white null from the elbow down.
No street costumes seem entirely
complete without veil. This
little accessory seems the one finish
ing touch necessary to make the
people pronounce the toiletteperfect.
Try ironing pieces of heavy
MANILA paper and then painting
them, and you will find that you
have something quite as good as
oil cloth to tack behind the kitchen
sink.
Try putting little ashes and
water in a dish that has been
burned instead of scraping it. After
heating slightly with the ashes in
it all the blackened portion can be
cleaned off with very little trouble,
and without scratching and dis
figuring the dish.
Try having long wooden handle
put into the tin handle of the dust
pan and then beat into an upright
position. A handle from a dis
carded broom will be just the thing,
and there will be no more back
aches from STOPPING while "brush-
ing up" about the dining table and
sitting room.
Among the quaint novelties are
countless under sleeves with the
finest of lace insertions and ruffles
These undersleeves are revival o.
the olden times, and remind one O
cedar chests and exquisite han6
embroideries, yellow with age
Perhaps folded with the thin under
sleeve lying at the bottom of trea
sured fineries of days long gone by
will be found a dainty nightcap
embroidered just as beautifully as
the sleeves.

A woman is sick; some disease pecu-
liar to her sex is fast developing in her
system. She goes to her family physi
clan and tells him'a story, but not the
story. She always holds something
back, loses her head, becomes agitated,
forgets what she wanted to say, and
finally conceals what she ought to have
told, and thus completely mystifes
the doctor.
Is it any wonder, therefore, that the
doctor fails to cure the disease? Still,
we cannot blame women, for it is very
embarrassing to detail some of the
symptoms of her suffering even to her
family physician.
1t was for this reason that years ago
Mrs. Lydia e. Pinkham of Lynn, Mass,
woman of great experience and OBJ
servation, determined to step in and
help her sex. Having had considerable
experience in treating female ills with
her wonderful Vegetable Compound,
she encouraged the women of America
to write to her for advice in regard to
their complaints, and being woman it
was easy for her ailing sisters to pour
into her ears every detail of their suf-
fering. In this way she was able to
do for them what the physicians were
unable to do, simply because she had
the proper information to work upon,
and from the little group OF women
who sought her advice years ago a great
army of her fellow-beings are to-day
constantly applying for advice and re-
lief, and the fact that NOR than one
hundred thousand of them have been
successfully treated by Mrs. Pinkham
during the last year is indicative of the
grand results which are produced by
her unequalled experience and training

The Danish Prince,

The Danish prince who married one
of Queen Victoria's granddaughters is
more French and Irish than Danish,
SO far as blood goes. The Irish strain
is that of the famous O'Clarys, of Tyr
connell. a hundred years or so ago
SO the story runs, Il member of this
family amassed wealth in Marseilles,
and, dying, left his two daughters hand
some doWries. These were the two
sisters Clary, one of whom afterwards
became Joseph Bonaparte's wife, queen
of Naples. The other married Berna-
dotte, the soldier of Napoleon who be-
came Charles XIV, king of Sweden
Prince Charles is Bernadotte's great
grandson.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1896-12-11

No physician in the world has had
such u training, or has such an amount
of information at hand to assist in the
treatment of all kinds of female ills,
from the simplest local irritation to the
most complicated diseases of the womb.
This, therefore, is the reason why Mrs.
Pinkham in her laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, is able to do more for the ailing
women of America than the family
physician who is in daily communica-
ton with his patient. Any woman,
therefore, is responsible for her own
suffering who will not take the trouble
The testimonials which we are con-
stantly publishing from grateful wo-
men establish beyond a doubt the
power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound to conquer female dis
eases.
A STANDING INVITATION.
Women suffering from any form of fe-
male weakness are invited to promptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are received,
opened, read and answered by women
only. A woman can freely talk of her
private illness to woman; thus has
been established the eternal confidence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women
of America which has never been
broken. Out of the vast volume of ex-
perience which she has to draw from it
is more than possible that she has
gained the very knowledge that will
help your case. She asks nothing in
return except your good will, and her
advice has relieved thousands. Surely,
any woman, rich or poor, is very fool
ish if she does not take advantage Of
this generous offer of assistance.
