HOW THE CITY GROWS.
Little Drops OfWater Make an Ocean
of Good Citizens.

They're bound to come to us; they've
got to come" said Secretary Atherton,
of the board of trade, yesterday He
held in his hand letter from a civil
engineer from another city who had
decided to locate in Scranton"
The engineer did not want much; i;
he wasn't looking for free office rent in
the board of trade building or a house
and lot on the hill, gratis. All he asked
was for information as to a good resi-
dence part Of the city and place where
he could conspicuously display his
shingle, He'd do the rest.
They've got to come" continued
the man who fits his position like the
main spring of a great watch. 1--WE get
scores of such letters every week and
the public seldom hears anything about

500 REV ARD.-The readers of this paper
will be pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has been
able to bure in all it's stages. and that is ca
tarrh. Halls Catarah Cure is the only posi-
tive cure known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional disease, re-
quires a constitutional treatment. HALLS Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the foundation of
the disease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The proprietors
have SO much faith in its curative powers,
that they offer one hundred dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list of
testimonials. Address. f. j. Cheney & Co.,

lay it in the proper place at one end cf
each board in turn. Mark the board
around it with a soft lead pencil and
then with a compass saw cut OF the
line so the piece Of wood corresponding
to the size and shape of the pattern will
be cut away. With a plane bevel each
side of the boards so they will all fit
together, edge to edge, and with glue
and slim steel wire nails attach them
securely together. From a piece of
board cut a bottom to fit snugly inside
the Enclosure and fasten it in place just
above the openings at the lower ends of
the sides by driving steel wire nails
through the sides and into the edges of
the wood bottom.
From a large piece of wood cut a hex
agon top to extend half an inch over the
sides all around and provide it with two
hinges attached to one side that can be
screwed fast to the top of one of the
sides of the body or receptacle. Uphol-
ster this'top with curled hair and den
i'm of some desirable color and catch
it all around the edges with large, oval
headed tacks, that may be driven
through a gimp band to hide the raw
edges of the material.
The entire outside of. the tabouret is
to be covered with the denim and held
in place with oval headed brass up
holsterer's tacks having heads three
eighths of an inch in diameter. The
tacks should be employed, as they afford
a means of decoration quite as we'll as
to hold the fabric in place.
Pockets of denim can be made and
tackled fast to the inside of each side,
and they should be made full enough to
receive a pair of shoes nicely. The pat
tern at the front and the circles at the
lower end of each side are formed with
tacks, the heads of which will act as a
broken line if they are driven close
enough together.
The cover is prevented from falling
back too far by a chain at Il side, the
ends of which are attached to the under
side of the cover and to an angle at the
side of the receptacle.

The tabouret has the appearance of an

The majority OF the oriental pieces,
however, serve but the one purpose,
that Of a small table, while this is
adapted to at least two. The New York
Herald illustrates one, with the cover
in raised position, disclosing pockets in
the interior Of the Enclosure formed by
the six sides.
In these pockets shoes, rubbers and
slippers may be kept in neat order.
To make this tabouret obtain six
pieces of pine boards, each "a inches
long and z inches wide, and another
piece about IA inches square. These
boards should be not less than three
quarters of all inch thick and planned
on both sides. From a piece of card
board cut a pattern to conform to the
shape of the bottom of each side and

Dutch Suppers.

Dutch suppers" are meeting with
great favor, particularly for Sunday
night teas where the hostess has only
one maid. The New York Sun tells
that the dishes for serving this supper
should be as much as possible of the blue
delft pattern. The menu includes i'm
ported frankfurter sausages dropped
into boiling water in the convenient
chatting dish and closely covered until
they float, which only requires a few
moments. Sauerkraut should be pre-
pared beforehand by scalding it and aft
er draining putting it into a dish with
a small piece of fresh pork and a little
water, covering the dish closely and
baking it several hours. These, wit
Dutch mustard. black bread Or pumpel
nickel, potato salad, picked red cab
bage, pretzels, plenty OF good cheese and
fine coffee, will be a delight tc friends,
who will welcome such a change from
the regulation Sunday suppers.

MRS. PINKHAM'S STANDING
INVITATION.

Women suffering from any form Of
female weakness areinvitedtoprompt
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are re-
ceived, opened, read, and answered by
women only. A woman can freely
talk of her private illness to a 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 volrme
OF experience which she has 10 draw
from, it is more than possible that she
has gained the very knowledge that
will help your case. She asks nothing
IL return except your good will, and
her advice has relieved thousands.
Surely anywoman, rich or poor, is very
foolish if she does not take advantage
Of this generous offer of assistance.

Stop! Women,

And consider that in addressing Mrs.
Pinkham you are confding your private
ills TO a wOna whose eX-
perience in treating woman's diseases
is greater than that of anything ply
stefan, male or female.
You can talk free1yto 2 woman when
it is revolving to relate your private
troubles to a man; besides, a man does
not understand, simply because he isa
man.

REDUCING THE STAFF 81;
The New Shah OF Persia Content with
But Sixty Wives.

The new shah of Persia has been re-
ducing what the Figaro calls "the fem
mime staff Of the palace1a at Teheran.
He has keptonly 60 wives, and finds the
total sufficient for dignity and within
the limits of wise economy, says the
Pan Mall Gazette: The family tree ot6o
wives has at present put forth branches
-twenty-thrce. daughters and four
sons; and here; we have. the usual in
equality of the sexes, always mt its
worst when polygamy exists. Whether
Muzaffer-ed-Din is happy though mar
ried, and much married, the record does
not state, but things seem TO show that
polygamy is on the decline in the Per-
sian court. The last shah, in spite of
his prediction for western habits, was
as lord of the hnrem an eastern in heart
and soul. He had in the seraglio at
Teheran the magnificent total of 1870
wives, who now are widows. In the
new American Bible of the women a
passage is denounced with special bit
terness by the feminists of the day.
1t is the one in Genesis where men are
called the sons of God and women are
the daughters of men. In the case of
the. late shah, one son of the Divine was
maintaining 1,720 daughters of the
earthly. Surely this was a conscien-
tious effort to make up in quantity
what was wanting in quality.

PETTY ECONOMY.
The Uselessness OF Storing Up House,
hold Odds and Ends .-

The Uselessness OF Storing Up House,
hold Odds and Ends. 90.
1t requires an exceptionally wise, ju-
dicious person to know where to econ
omize and where to spend. 1t is fire.
quently the way of thrift to spend with
lavish hand. because the return iusti-
fies the expenditure. The woman who
laboriously darns gingham apron
when she can make q new one in half
the time and when the material costs
less than ten cents is decidedly wasting
her efforts or estimating her time at
the same standard as the work of the
Chinese coolie. The mended apron will
not wear one-quarter as long as, new
one, and it had better be devoted to
dust cloths or to some of the purposes
of cleaning where an old rag is required.
The picking up of pins is certainly a
doubtful economy. No one can tell
what infection may be conveyed in a
pin, which is quite likely to be rusty.
A pin is certainly worth less than the
time taken to pick it up. Where it is
in the house OF in place where it may
become small instrument Of torture,
it is wise for humanity's sake to pick it
up, but not for the sake of it's value.
Almost all of us have some pet econ
omy. Some people will hoard old
dresses of wool which they have no
time to clean, and which would not
be fit for wear if they were cleaned.
The result of this boarding is an in
teresting collection of moths, which in
wade the house and destroy much furni-
ture and valuable clothing, together
with the worthless. It would be diff
cult, however, to convince the person
who was devoted to such economy that
it was in fact an extravaganza within that
she was gratifying.
The boarding of newspapers may be
classed among the same extravagant
fancies. The newspaper is the thing
of an hour, and is succeeded in a day BY
another. While there is frequently val
liable reading matter for a scrapbook
in them, the entire papers take up too
much room to be kept by the ordinary
reader for anything but waste paper.
They merely collect dust. .,
Of all absurd things that may be
boarded the saving of fruit and vegeta-
BILE cans, except to paint and use for
hower-pots, is the most absurd. An
old tin can is usually u menace to the
health. It is not fit to cook in, though
1T is sometimes employed for that pur-
pose, nor is it fit to keep food in after
the inner surface is exposed to the air.
1t is never fit to be used n second time
for canning. After opening can it's
contents should be poured out at once
into an earthen dish, and never left to
stand in the opened can. 1t is fool
hardy practice to leave such tin cans out
doors, because they are liable to rust,
and cut from rusty piece of tin is the
common cause of that dreaded disease,
lockjaw. There is the same danger in
using unpainted tin cans for keeping
plants. Their sharp rusty edges may
cut the hands when the cans are moved.
A hundred such petty economics, are
INDUCED in by thoughtless women, who
imagine that thrift can come from such
foolish hoarding.-N. Y. Tribune.

100000 May Strike.

LONDON, Nov. pa general strike, in
volving 100000 operatives, will almost
Ger ainly follow if the cotton manufac-
tnrcrs insist on cutting wages five per
cent. The manufacturers asked a vote Of
the operatives on proposition to refer
the master to arbitration and the returns
now in are sufficient to show an over
whelming majority against it. As the
manufacturers announce their detcrmn-
alton to make the cut in wages it is gen
orally believed that strike that will
paralyze the industry throughout the
nation is inevitable.
