Notes Of Interest.

The northernmost railroad in the world,
which extends to about latitude GA
degrees Inside the Arctic circls--is in
Sweden, and serves for carrying iron ore
from GelliVsra southeast to the Gulf of
BothniR at Lules.
The current phrase "BeRore you can
say Jack Robinson" is derived from an
old song by tobaCconist by the name Of
Hudson, who lived in Shoe Lane, London.
He was q professional song-writer and
vocalist, and used to be engaged to sing
at supper rooms and theatrical houses.
The refrain OF one song was:
"A wArke Il 70 a. saSie to be done
Az tvs TO say, JACKIE Robyns on"
Several excellent deposits Of anthracite
coal have been discovered in the Rainy
lake region OF Minnesota, near the Can
sdian border, by surveyors and prospect
ors. One OF the railroad corporations in
Minnesota is now prospecting the region,
and it is believed that coal will be found
in quantity sufficient to supply at least
the manufacturing towns Of Minnesota
and perhaps much more. The veins
discovered thus far are only about five
feet in thickness, but the coal is Of
excellent quality. There are Indications
of the existence Of larger deposits.

How to Use COurt-Plaster.

Did you ever notice the way phyai-
clan prepares the courtplaster for q
wound? First, he folds the piece length
wise directly through the middle. The
plaster should be considerably larger
than the wound, to keep well over the
edges; then slash the plaster lengthwise
nearly to the edge. Straighten the
court-plaster out fat and cut the slashed
pieces at opposite ends. Place the
straight edges Of the court-plaster 10
the flesh on either side of the wound,
bringing the strips across the wound.
Moisten them, and taking o strip from
each side, draw them together gently,
closing the cut, and stick the plaster in
place. Continue with all the strips, and
the cut will be dressed in manner to
insure perfect healing, and as we'll as
any doctor could do it.-Farm and

No Time TO Fret.

When l was a very small girl, / read
q STORY Of two farmers whose early pea
crop had been killed by frost. One
spent bis time grumbling, and bemoan-
ing his loss, and expressed great surprise
that his neighbor could work on, as
cheerful as ever. II have no time for
frOttinR until my peas are in again, and
then / shall have nothing to fret about"
was the CHEEKY neighbours explanation.
Many times in later years, this story
has come back to me; and ] think never
more RorCibly than this week when Sab
baths sun rose, to shine upon a swift
and muddy river with only the tips Of
corn blades floating on the top to mark
the spot where my garden had been
standing. 1t was sorry sight, but

/ vsntured forth to inspect the ruins. A

just clinging by the lowest roOts-peas

Lemon juice for tho Complexion.


On the principle that prevention is
better than cure, tan may best be avoided
by wearing veil, The young woman
who adheres religiously to q veil through
storm and sunshine will not find the
natural whiteness Of her skin seriously
impaired. There are times, however,
when the summer girl finds it diverting
to know how fresh air feels, and on such
occasions she aCcumulstes the deadly
trlo OF tan, sunburn and freckles that
are to cause her many an anxious hour.
There are q few simple agents, how
ever, that may be effectuslly called into
play in the removal Of these beauty
destroyers. One Of the most effectusl Of
these is lemon-juice. As often as every
other night the face should be thoroughly
rubbed with fresh lemon. The vigorous
but harmless acid Of the lemon will soon
remove the most obstinate tan, leaving
the skin not only white, but with an
added softness and smOothness.
When q woman has once become a
convert to the lemon, other uses Of this
valuable toilet accessory suggest them
selves to her. She will discover that
nothing is so purifying to her complexion
as lemon-juice taken as q tonic. The
juice Of lemon, taken without sugar in
large cup Of very hot water, immedi-
ately upon rising, is the best Of medicines.
A lemon bath is Furthermore a delight
ful luxury and gives the skin an enviabIe
sense Of cleanness and smOothness. In
short, the lemon is cure for nearly all
the ills that the summer girls complexion
is heir TO and she will do well to adopt it
early in the season.
In the daily washing Of the face,
especially in the tanning season, there
is only one kind of water. Some trouble
is involved in obtaining q constant
supply OF filtered rain water, but the
result iustifies the expenditure Of time
and energy. First cover the face with
the lather from some good pure soap,
then wash gently in the rain water till
every trace Of soap is removed.
Friction is q good tonic for any skin
and will give it the healthy glow that
ought to be the ambition of its owner.
A thorough rubbing Of the face every
night and the constant use Of rough
towel in drying it are very stimulating.
Pallor is no more to be desired than tan,
and il the summer girl is 80 disposed,
she can achieve happy medium.

The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1896-12-30
To Punish NOn-VOters.

Mention was recently made in The
Tribune of the annulment of a provision
in the new city charter of Kansas City
in assessing in the sum of $3.50 each
qualified voter who failed to vote at a
general election. The ruling was made
by the Supreme court of Missouri and
rested on the obviously sensible ground
that no one can estimate the money
value to the public of vote and that
it is degrading to the franchise to as
sociate it with such an idea.
Upon this general subject the Chi
cago Times Herald well says: "To
cOntrive some such scheme for impell-
ing qualified voters to exercise the
privilege of suffrage that would not be
an invasion of private rights is prob
lem that has engaged the attention of
q great many legislators. At the last
session of the general assembly in this
state it was proposed TO enact a law
providing that those who failed to vote
should be the first drawn for jury SER
vice. but the punishment was doubtless
toc ildStiC anu Itll'U ~ re-
ceive consideration. In Indiana the
poll-tax law, which provides that each
voter whose name is on the registration
list shall pay a poll tax. is not calcu-
lated to accelerate the impulses of pa
triotism.
''It is very clear that any Legislation
of this sort which aims to furnish a
practical incentive to the voter to dis
charge his patriotic responsibilities as
q citizen without interfering with his
private rights must he in the direction
of depriving the derelict foter of the
enjoyment of some of the privileges
of our government. A man who is so
Indifferent to our government that he
will not vote on election day is surely
not entitled to all the benefits of full
citizenship. Just what form this dep
riyation shall take is a question for
the study of future lawmakers. What
ever measure may be devised i'm the
future for stimulating a more universal
exercise Of the election franchise. it is
very clear that people cannot be taxed
into being patriotic
No more feasible proposition has been
made i'm this direction within our
knowledge than is embodied in Judge
