plished a great deal in clearing away
routine matters.
1t was resolved that the city govern
ment and county officials be appealed to

ress toward mapping out the route to
be traversed by the parades.
A committee will be sent to the mer-

COAL MINERS STRIKE.

The Cause Was That a Driver Was Not
Put to Work With His Regular Team.
Huntingdon Pa. JAM 13.-The miners
in the Robertsdale and Woodvale blum
nous coal district, in this county, have
struck because -one of the mine drivers
in the Robertsdale region was not given
his regular mule team to drive.
All of the collieries here are idle. The
Woodvale miners stopped work through
sympathy. y-fmoss 81.
The miners had been working only two
days week, and the strike occurred just
as preparations had begun to fill large
order that would have kept them steadily
employed. s,sy9

ENTERPR1sING TAILoRs.

The State Herald noticed a few days
ago that the enterprising firm of M. We'll
& Bro, the leading First avenue mer-
chant tailors, could make a $50 suit of
clothes while you wait. They also an
nounce, as will be noticed in the adver-
tisement elsewhere, that they make the
best $40 suits to be bought in the mar
ket. They employ only first-class cut
ters and tailors. and all things being
equal the Birmingham man will think
a long time before having his suit made
elsewhere when the money can be kept
at home and the skill of local workmen
protected as well as appreciated.

fairs, has been appointed a member of
the council of the empire. The nominal
ton of Count Muraviefs for the office of
minister of foreign affairs, has created
considerable surprise. The new minister
is in favor of a pacific policy, and is IA

influence his appointment is attributed.

GRATIFYING AND IMPORTANT,

Vienna, Jan.41a-The Fremdonblatt in
its comments upon the general arbitra-
ton treaty just concluded between the
United States and Great Britain, says it
is most gratifying and important that
within a year after a sharp difference be-
tween the two countries such a treaty
should have been signed.

tration treaty, and that the present Can
adam cabinet would do everything pos

Canadians as well as Enghshmen will
live with the United States as friends.
The Paris correspondent of the Daily
News says that France is ripe for al SINH
lar arrangement with the United States.
A British dispatch to the Standard
says it is not likely that the continental
powers will enter into any arbitration
agreement with the American republic.

Some Good Rules.

These rules, handed down by some
body's grandmother, are good ones
for our boys and girls to remember:
Always look at the person to whom
you speak. When you are addressed,
look straight at the person who
speaks to you. Do not forget this.
Speak your words plainly; do not
mutter or humble IF words are worth
saying, they are worth pronouncing
distinctly and clearly.
Do not say disagreeable things. If
you have nothing pleasant to say,
keep silent.
A fourth is-and oh, children, re-
member it all your lives-think three
times before you speak once.
Have you something to do that you

A HELPFUL CORNER.

For the Household Department.
Tears are good for women, says, DR..
Campbell, in The Hospital. The bene-
fetal effect of good cry to a woman,
he asserts, is partly due to the in
creased depth of respiration and the
improvement in the often languid cir
culation thereby induced, but to a
large extent it is the result of the
muscular exercise involved, by which
the general vascular tension, and es-
pecially the blood pressure in the
brain, is much reduced. The profuse
flow of tears no doubt also acts
strongly on the cerebral circula ton
in still further reducing tension. The
sobbing movements, again, have a
good influence upon the venous circu-
lation in the produced and pelvic Wis
cera, while the exhaustion produced
tends to cause sleep, and thus to give
the nervous system it's best chance OF
uperation.-Medical Journal.

Then listen to wise old grandmother.
Do the hard things first and get it
over with. If you have done wrong,
go and confess it. If your lesson is
tough master it. If the garden is to
be weeded, weed it first and play af-
terward. Do first the things you don't
like to do, and then, with a clear con-
science, try the rest Exchange.

Petticoatal not Political Economy.

Petticoatal not Political economy.
Did you know that skirt Innings
make capital petticoats, especially if
made of percaline as Innings to most
of our good wooden or silk dresses are
made?
AS a rule when the dress is remodel
ed the old lining is discarded for the
outside must be made over a newer
patterns; nevertheless, the old lining
is in plenty good enough style for the
petticoat; take out part of the wide
back breadth to make a narrow foot
ruffie, and put a one and one half inch
hem into the bottom of skirt lining
which will make it the correct length
for wear.
A lining of good firm cambria will
do nicely for this use, but the ordi-
nary four and five cent quality is not
worth making up, being too sheer to
hold the starch we'll, and also liable
to run" in washing. Blacks and states
are especially desirable colors.
The black petticoats may be bright
ened by a briar or cat stitching of
scarlet or yellow Asiatic twisted en-
broidery silk about bottom of foot
ruff1e. If you commence this skirt
economy you will always be supplied
with neat petticoats, for they wear
nicely Try it, sisters of the House
hold page.
For every day winter underskirts
one may utilize variety of garments
thought to be untitled for such a pur-
pose.
I have seen excellent skirts for
young children made from their IA
theirs cast-off trowsers, made, of
course in narrow breadths and made
up on the wrong side, which is usu-
ally the brighter side. Old gray or
black waterproof cloaks, at least the
unworn portions of them, can be used
for skirts for an adult, and will be
found to be very warm and comforta-
BILE for everyday wear; old blankets,
too, which are too worn for use upon
the bed, yet almost too good to put
into the mat rags may have their use
fulness prolonged, for there is usually
enough that is strong to make short
skirt; a package of dyes costing but
10 cents, but with it's help you would
scarcely recognize the discarded arti-
Gle; it is best to dye the whole, then
the scraps and worn places are all
ready for the mat-hook.

ing is. Long before Hetty can under
stand why her hands should be slap
ped-supposing you are so foolish as
to do that-for overturning your work
basket, she will learn, if you patiently
but firmly make her restore every
thing to the basket, that the things
belong there and not on the floor;
that there is where you intend to have
them, and little but important les
son of obedience into the bargain. Old
er children can readily comprehend
why they should do again what they
have undone, so far as they are able to
do SO; and Bob will be all the better,
and you less weary, if he learns to
hang up his own cap, brush the mud
from his own rubbers, and SO on. And
he can ''save steps" doing errands, and
the like. Polly, too, should learn when
she is old enough to throw open her
chamber windows, spread the bed
clothes to air, and to "pick up and put
away"-that housekeeper's bugbear.
But do not get off the wise course
on to unsafe footing. Tt cannot be

no play. There must be genuine
play, without a vestige of utility be-
hind it, some of the time, and that
regularity. It is fa1lacious doctrine,
that if child els bound to be on Ills
feet all the time he might as well be
doing something useful in
the line of work. It is most useful
and altogether important that the
growing years of child's life should
be devoted to just that mental, moral
and physical training that is going to
introduce him or her later on to adult
life as splendid type of mankind or
womanhood Now if one has this sort
of education in mind for her children
or those under her supervision, she
surely is not going to stunt their
growth or best possible development by
giving them to do what they cannot
do with safety Ito their little brains
and undeveloped bodies.
There is all the difference in the
world between children, and we are so
apt to think them pretty much alike.
But they are alike in having rights to
the best equipment for life, i'll this
world and that to come, that it is pos
sible for them to get. And they do not
get that if their little bodies are rack
ed, for example, by being made nurs-

Costumes for the School Girl.

Costumes Tor the school G1r1.
Fall and school time is really here,
and the girl who expects to attend
school and also have a "good time"
occasionally, may be thinking that she
needs mo end" of lovely things to
choose from for every toilette; but the
wise girl can make one gown with all
it's belongings do the entire season.
There is nothing better than nice
black suit for a foundation to num-
Der of toilettes. 1t is not one bit too
somber and with several pretty waists
as many pretty suits can be arranged
to suit any occasion.
The separate waist is said to be
thing of the past-each bodice must
show by properly managed colors that
it "belongs."
If last winters suit was not black
and needing only to be cleaned bit
to look fresh, a worn or faded colored
skirt can be dyed good black with
Diamond dyes, pressed, remodled and
new facing put on, making a foun-
dation for many suits. If there are
remnants of the same skirt, these
should be dyed to make a jacket,
either Elton style or bolero, to wear
with plain linen or null shirt waists.
The bolero, jacket is so becoming
to most girls and very easy TO fit; but
it is wise economy to always have
pattern that fits perfectly for the lin
ing. and any "style'' can be made over
that.
A tinv bolero of black velvet with
the sleeves long and wrinkled taking
the place of long gloves and worn over
canary colored silk blouse, less ex-
pensive null or one of the many pref
tv fabrics in red finishes a pretty cos
tune for dressy occasions.
Colarettes are very fashionable and
also convenient to brighten up a plain
waist they are becoming to the face
and soften the complexion. Those
made in yoke style of alternate rows
of tucks and lace are nice for school
wear, being easy to launder and when
carefully done last long time. In
stead of tucks plain strips of lawn or
Linen with feather stitching or a vine
design embroidered on them in pretty
shades of Japan floss make very hand
