THE CITIZEN FREDERICK MD FRIDAY MORNING JULY 1897

A woman's greatest mission In this world
Is to help baby. Teaching baby to eat, and
to walk and to talk. A rightly constituted
woman finds in these her happiest employ
ment. Too many women miss this happi-
ness because of their own ignorance or neg
own physical makeup. No woman has the
right to neglect the health of those delicate
organs of her body upon which depends the
life and health and happiness of her chill
dren. The Mosaic command to increase
and multiply" was no idle, thoughtless
edict. It was the command of Jehovah.
The woman who annuls II by neglect of her
womanly health commits a crime.
The best medicine for women is Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t makes a
woman capable of performing her duty to
herself, her husband, her children and man.
kind. 1t acts directly upon the organs dis
tinctly feminine and makes them strong and
vigorous. It does away with the discom-
forts of the period preceding motherhood
It makes baby's advent easy and almost
painless. 1t cures all weakness and disease
of the distinctly feminine organism.
In family of parents and children there Is
much care, many worries, numerous perplexities.
But, If sickness comes, everything else is small
beside it. How valuable then is a doctor in the
same block, or an experienced neighbor next
door. How much more comfortable for all con-
cerned is standard medical book on the table or

THE CHINESE.

One place where the Chinese wage
Garner longs to spend his money and
cannot afford to do so is at the dog
and cat meat restaurant. If the ami
mails are black they cost more. This
was copied from a Chinese sign: One
small basin black cat stew, five cents:
grease from black dog, four cents; one
pair black cats eyes, four cents.
The Chinese are superstitious and
the worlSmen support in addition to
their temples and pagodas and priests
(which receive more in proportion than
the churches of Europe and America)
idol-makers, geomancers, fortune tell
ers, physiognomists, soothsayers, as
trologers and Interpreters of dreams,
who exist by thousands and coin all
the money they want.
Peculiar superstitions embarrass the
workmen in China. For instance. car
penters and builders have to exercise
great care in selecting a ridge pole for
a house. 1t must have neither cracks
nor knots, and in it small hole must
be made ana filled with gold leaf and
the whole beam painted red. This in
sures good luck for the owner of the
house.
The tea trade employs thousands OF
persons in China. The laborers re-
ceive from two to ten dollars per
month, according to their grade of
work. Reeds and bamboo are source
of profit to many others. Upon the
river flats grow acres of grasslike reeds,
which are used in weaving Chinese mat
ting, and in Canton alone this industry
gives employment to thousands of men,
women and children; 100000 yards of
mating are woven each year on the
hand looms. The farmer who grows
bamboo is accounted wealthy. 1t grows
with little care and sells well.

NOTES AWHEEL.

In Japan the price of cycle varies
In ratio to it's speed. Thus, for ten
mile bicycle you may pay $25, but for
1S-mile bicycle perhaps $50.
Canada will be represented at the In
ternational championships at Glasgow,
Scotland, in July. Harley Davidson and
Ralph Axton have already applied for
positions on the team.
Parsons, the Australian rider, is COM
Ing to this country. He writes to a
friend that he will be on hand for the
national tournament to be held in Phil.
adelphia in August.
The increase in the sales of bicycles
IN Michigan has lately been phenom-
email. 1t is estimated that nearly half
the population will be seen on wheels
this summer. The roads all over the
state are being improved and numerous
bicycle paths constructed.

BOYS WORKBENCH.
Follow This Plan and You Will Get
Very Good One.

FOLLOW ThfS Plan and You Will Get
a Very Good One.
One of the most indispensable things
for the boy who likes carpentry and
wishes to do really good work is a good
bench on which to work.
1t must be substantially made, should
be provided with planning stop, a
wise, and drawer in which to keep
screws, nails and small tools. Such
a bench may easily be constructed by
the boy himself, provided he knows
just what to do. If he works without
a definite and correct plan, however,
much time and material may be wasted
with very unsatisfactory result. Sim
pie as the task appears, there are many
vexatious little mistakes which boy
is almost sure to make if left wholly to
his own devices.
To begin with, it is necessary to OBJ
tain four spruce sticks about three
inches square, sc inches long, planed
on all sides, for the legs; then get
two pieces of clear pine or wildwood
three feet long and six or eight inches
wide, and two more the same length
three inches wide. These pieces should
be Ia inches in thickness and planed
on all sides.
Lay two of the legs three feet apart
on smooth floor, and with screws join
the ends by means of wide strip. Six
inches up from the free ends mark with
a lead pencil where the narrow strip
would lie, and cut laps in the legs with
saw and chisei so that the narrow
strip will fit tightly in them. Screw
this fast also, and as result one of the
end supports will be finished and will

Undoubtedly one of the most intelli

duties that richer men than Mr.. Young

other things Frank carries wood into

appear as shown in Fig. 1. Fasten the
other two pieces in similar manner.
Then take two pieces of clear pine
five feet long, eight inches wide and
seven-eighths of an inch in thickness;
these are for the sides. or aprons, and
must be securely screwed to the upper
end of each leg. Make holes ten inches
from the ends of each piece. and use
screws w inches in length.
For the top of the bench use clear
pine planlling not less than ia inches
in thickness; this should be fitted close
ly together and fastened to the cross
pieces with stout screws.
Next, from an oak or ash plank
piece should be cut as shown in Fig. Q.
This is for the wise jaw; screw and
lever can be purchased at hardware
store and fitted to it, and the whole at
tached to the bench; but if this should
prove too much of an undertaking for
the youthful workman it will not be
difficult to get carpenter to put it in
place.
At the. bottom of the jaw sliding
piece with a series of holes for a peg
should be provided and held in place by
an iron pin.
From one of these sides of the bench q
piece should be cut IL inches long and
four inches wide: this will serve as
the front of the drawer, which may be
made with half-inch pine, fastened to-
gether with glue and nails. 1t must be
arranged, of course, to slide in and out
on runners. Almost any shallow box
fastened to the front board may be used
for this purpose. An oval hole should
be made in the front for handle.
A planning stop with teeth on one side
can be purchased at hardware store
and tightly fitted into hole through
the top of the bench. When all is COM
plete you will have convenient and
serviceable workbench. like that shown
in the illustration.

There was a time
When all the world was circled In the
clasp of mothers arm.
When one low word, one glance Of hers
had power to dispel harm.
Grief had no other symbol than her shad-
owed face and signs:
Loves palace was her loving heart; Gods
throne was her dear eyes.
Oh, blessed time!
Life never found such perfect trust again
in after years.
For close upon the steps of faith came
troubled doubts and fears.
Love shared his throne with avarice, the
heart was claimed by each,
God and His kingdom seemed too far for
human thought to reach.
But over all
The sorrows and the sins of life Is Gods
protecting arm,
An ark of safety where the soul may rest
secure from harm
The peace that blessed our childhood days
may vet be ours to know,
For mother represented God in that sweet
long ago.

Last fall, when the air was sharp with
snow,
And leaves beginning to fly,
My robins decided they would go,
And chirped me blithe good-by:
For somewhere down in the south. they
said,
Was a country warm and fair,
And now that the flowers and leaves were
dead,
They would seek for others there.
To-day my robins return once more,
Exultant, as exiles do.
And straightway peep through my open
door,
And chirp me "how-de-do."
And now they are out among my trees
Searching with eager quest,
And / make no doubt old friends like
these
Will honor me with their nest.

'My lord, you enjoy the kings high way.
It Is pleasant and easy and fair"
But the courtier broke out: THAT is easy

But, young man. you are quite wrong there.
For when one has been told, without
rhyme or reason,
He must do this or that-to refuse is high
treason.
When one must never a question raise
But sugar his tongue with words of praise,
Though snubbed. neglected. scorned. or
scolded,
While all his will to another's is nodded;
And If, after this. he gets the sack,
Is told to leave and never come back,
He knows how I've been treated to-day.
Oh, I've had quite enough Of the kings

day was Maj Hanson OF Macon. He was
accompanied by Col. Buck, and had
long private talk with President McKin-

Of for cabinet position from the south.
and it is believed that had he lived in a
southern state which went republican. he
would have been successful. He Is a
warm friend of the President. Owing
to large business interests 1t Is not thought
that there Is any office Maj. Hanson now
wants. unless 1t should be a foreign mis-
sion of prominence.
President Mckinley Is anxious to show
his personal regard for Maj. Hanson. and
It was at the formers request that he Is
now in Washington. II satisfactory ar
rangements can be made, Maj. Hanson
may be given a snug berth In one of the
departments here, where he can be close
at hand to advise the administration con-
cernlng Georgia appointments. It is ar
gued that as the republicans OF Georgia
have no representation ia congress. Col
Buck might render the party valuable
service by accepting a place In Washing
ton
Maj. Hanson and Col. Buck called at
the interior department later in the day,
with Gen. Longstreet, and urged the lat
ter's appointment as commissioner OF
railroads.
Cen. Robert smalls, who claims to be
the colored Moses OF the colored republi-
cans of South Carolina, made his first call
upon President Mckinley to-day. Gen.
Small would like TO be collector of Gus
toms at Charleston, but If he cannot do
better he VIII gladly accept the collec-
torship at Beaufort. He cnnnlngly re-
frans from talking about his personal
claims in the newspapers, and says he Is
using what influence he may have with
the present administration In the interest
OF his friends. He says he called to ask
the President to appoint S. J. Benfisld
postmaster at Beaufort.

TRAIN WRECK NEAR ROME.
A TrestIe Gives Way and Cars Tum-
BILE 20 Feet Through the Air.

Atlanta, Ga, March 1S.--A special from
Rome TO the Constitution, says that a
combination freight and passenger train
on the Southern railway was wrecked
at 8 o'clock this morning.
Heavy rains caused a land slide which
pushed out a bent in the trestle over the
Rome railroad.
The engine and one car got over the
trestle safely but four freight cars and
the express car went through and fell
twenty feet to the tracks below.
When the train broke in two the en-
gine was pulled Off the track and 1t piung-
ed down the embankment into the Etowah
river.
A stove in the express car set fire to
the wreck, and all the cars which had gone
through the trestle were burned
A freight train came along and pulled
the sleeper and a coach away from the
fire.
James T. Pittman, the engineer. went
down into the river, but swan out.
Kennedy, the fireman, Polk, express
messenger, and Winston, baggage mas
ter, were injured, but none fatally.
Pittman and Kennedy are in hospital
at Rome. The others came on to Atlanta.
