met popular demand. 1t is devoted to
brin ging about introduCtionS of marriage

five hundred descriptions of ladies and
gentlemen, some with means and some
without, who are seeking life partners.
The old idea that maid or widow, young
man or widower, should waste the best
years of their lives in waiting, WAITING,
WAITING for some suitable person to come
along and marry them has been exploded,
and now the best people in the land, lead
ers of society with manageable daugh-
tiers, rich widows, shy and bashful young
men, and old bachelors are finding court
ship made easy for them by correspond
ence with patrons of The Marriage Jour

wrapped, with nothing on fine wrapper ex-
cept the address, and all correspondence
is strictly confidential. All classes are
advertisers in The Journal-lawyers, doc

Charles Parrish, the wealthy coal OPP

snakes, of which there are large num-
bers in the vicinity. Mrs. Parrish hit
upon novel scheme to get rid of the
reptiles. At the rear end of the Par
IRISH mansion is a ledge of rocks. Dur
ing certain periods of each day the sun
sheds its rays upon the rocks, and at
these times a large number of rattlers
make their appearance for their daily
sun bath. They looked very pretty as
they lolled about and basked in the
warm sunshine. Mrs. Parrish ordered
the hired man to pour kerosene liberal
ly over the rocks until the crevices were
we'll saturated. When the ratNesnakes
made their appearance they soon began
to manifest their displeasure over the
peculiar bath that their favorite resort
had received. They ratified furiously,
ran up and down the rocks and then
gathered on the summit. At this point
the hired man was instructed to apply

Products of Soda Fountains.
The health department of Washing
ton has been trying to find out what the
summer girl drinks. The city chemist
has analysed several summer drinks
with results that are not encouraging.
Ice cream soda is said to be the most
popular drink sold at soda fountains
In the capital city. A chemical examine
ton of glass of this stuff showed it to
be composed of some peculiar ingredi-
ents. 1t contained 38.O5 per cent. of
solids, as follows: Butter fat, Z per
cent; mineral matter, 1903 per cent;
protocols, of .32 per cent; sugar, 26.7O
per cent. 1t was favored with pineap-
pie. A sample of pineapple flavoring
boiled down, was found to contain
water, sugar and ethyl butrate. 1t was
mostly water and sugar, there being
as much of the latter as will stay in So,
luton. Ethyl butrate is not girl. It
is decoction made by distilling rancid
butter with alcohol and sulphuric acid.
A very little ethyl butrate will scent an
entire house with the odor of pineap-
pies. To make the sirnp yellow, dash
of analine was added. The quantity
was so small that it was called bv the
chemists ''a trace" The dye is one Of
the products of the gas office, and is
made by the distillation of coal oil. A
half pint of water completed the de-
lcious compound. The water is frothy
by reason of the fact that it is charged
with carbonic acid gas. The effect Of
carbonic acid gas on the mucuous mem
brane is seen when by the process of
reorganization it escapes through the
nostrils. The health department, in it's
report, says: 'The soda water ice
cream should more properly be called
'hokey-pokey.' Hokey-pokey is made
from condensed skinned rnilks, with
the addition of little glue"

AN EXCELLENT CHANGE.
From the Carbondale Herald.

From the Carbondale Herald.
One of the greatest >misfortunes that
has lately attracted public attention
hereabout was the destruction OF the
III lone for the Friendless, by fire, ON Sat
urday last at Scranton. 1t Is especially
sad that such a calamity should occur
during the rigors of mid-winter when
much more Is required by the dependent
one than there il during the other por-
tions Of the year. when climatic conditions
are not so severe. This season of the
year alone taxes the resources of the
most of our institutions of benevolence,
because Of the unusual draughts on their
eXchequers o'meet current expenses. Here
is an excellent opportunity for the chari-
tably inclined people of Scranton. and of
the whole valley for that matter, to sue
cor worthy institution, and at the same
time exercise one of the most exalted
and GOd-like privileges in the whole life
of Christian. 1t should be small mat
ter, indeed, for the wealthy citizens OF our
sister city to contribute In thousand-dol-
lar sums an amount necessary to rebuild
and equip such a charity, and to do 1t at
once, too. While speaking on this sub
ject | am reminded of the kindly offices
of the Home of the Good Shepherd, st.
Patrick's orphanage and st. Joseph =
Founding home, In extending shelter to
those that have been temporarily de-
prived of home by the destruction of the
Home for the Friendless. This Is an
eloquent manifestation of ''the one touch
of nature that makes all the world kin"
and 1t is well worth noting in these turbu-
lent days of religious Intolerance.
