Tagged in Time.

Time and again the good people of
Scranton have been warned about the
ingoing and outgoing of trains, on
more than one level crossing of the
ID. e H. r. Il. during the many years
that Mr.. BamfOrd has carried a dang
err flag for the said company. Any
pedestrians who were rash enough to
ignore the watchman'S signal met with
an accident or was so badly scared
that the lesson taught made an i'm
preston for life. Perhaps from being
so long accustomed to seeing his fell
low men obey his instructions Mr..
Bamford was quicker to respond to the
warning given him by that inward
monitor which never chides without
cause. Be that as it may, one thing
is certain, if he had not needed the
cautions he would still be a sufferer,
and we may safely say he would con-
tinue to suffer. But Doan's Backache
Kidney Pills are never appealed to in
vain. The sequel of Mr. Bamford's ex-
perience proves this. He says: about
three years ago 1 had a severe attack
of Ia grippe which l think left me with
weak kidneys. The secretions were
scanty and highly colored at times,
and there was also a sediment like
brick dust; all of which caused a
great deal of annoyance and misery.

who had used them with the greatest
benefit, so l bought a box and used

appeared. [ was also troubled with a
numbness in my legs but Doan's

Owners of second class yachts are
agitating the question OF a sweep
stakes race, open to all second class
boats that care to participate.
This could be made an exceedingly
interesting event and it is to be hoped
the boys viii be encouraged to carry
out the idea. Seven or eight boats
should be available for such race
and it would perhaps settle the ques-
ton of supremacy among them.
The Myrtle has shown that she can
travel but has never been entered in
a race; While the owners OF the PCkll,
Malolo. Clytie, Abbie NJ, and others
all feel sure that they can get there

Almost any old day furnishes salts

THE GIRLS WARDROBE.
The Young Woman with the Least
Money Is Frequently Apt to Be
the Most ExtravaEant.

ut is truth, and sad one, that the
girl with the least money is apt to be
the most extravagant," writes Ruth
Ashmore, of "The Care of a Girls Ward
robe" in the Ladies' Home Journal.
s'The very wealthy girl may not have to
care for her own wardrobe, yet each
piece belonging to it is made to do full
service, and in many instances, if she
has wise mother, the girl herself must
superintend the work of the maid. 1t
is said of the daughters of Queen Vic
toria that each one of them was taught,
not only to sew well, but to mend and
darn with great neatness, and to make
over those gowns which were counted
worth it. The girl whose wardrobe is
not large makes her first mistake in
buying cheap material of color that
is the fancy of the moment. Instead,
when only one new gown may be had
during the season, it should be of a
fabric that will stand wear, that will
endure making over, and of color of
which neither the wearer nor the
looker-on will soon grow weary. 1t is
an extravaganza to have gown made
in the extreme of the fashion, for the
extreme soon goes out, and then you
have failure on your hands"

English seamen in Our Navy.

At the present juncture, says the
London Graphic, the want of trained
naval reserve and an adequate person
nel is causing the United States navy
department grave trouble. The men in
the United States navy, excluding the
fish commission and the coast survey,
are $685. in number, and of these only
SIS per cent. are American born. The
American citizens, however, number "a
per cent. English seamen who have
served theiF time in eur navy are large

tars were to be found In the American
frigates which beat us with such pain

than in our navy, the pay higher, and
the discipline is not so strict. 1t is
pleasing to note the fact that the Amer

To Clean India Rubber.

Hot water bags, air cushions, and so
on, are liable, with use, to lose their
pristine fairness, it may therefore
prove useful to know how this may be
restored. Omnipotent soap and water
again is called into requisition. A piece
of clean household flannel should be
wetted with lukewarm water and
rubbed upon bar of common yellow
soap. When lather is obtained, apply
the flannel to the rubber and pass it
briskly over the surface. This will
speedily make the article clean, and it
may then be set to dry in u cool breeze,
but not by the fire or in the sun.

A WoMAN'S PLUCKY WORK.
Helps to build a Home with Her OvvM
Hands and Saves n Sick Hus-
bands Life.

Five miles from Cucamonga, CAL,
paper hanger. She is Mrs. Minnie
Warner Ewing, formerly of St. Louis,
society belle and a Vassar grad
uate. Her husband held good posi-
ton, but consumption compelled him
to seek relief in California, and, with
$4,000 capital, the Ewings went west.
This money was soon expended, and the
wife found herself compelled to take
care of a sick husband and make a
living at the same time. Mrs. Ewing
preempted tract of government land,
five miles from Cucamonga, in San
Bernadino county. In a few hours she
had made a formal entry for a quarter
section, and the next day the founda-
ton of her new home was laid Early
in the morning Mrs. Ewing and a car
penter drove to her claim in lumber
wagon. By eight o'clock she had
marked out the plan for a two-story
frame structure. Then, while the car
penter started building, she carried the
lumber from Cucamonga. This done
she then became the carpenters as
sistant.
Mrs. Ewing also assisted in shingling
the roof, and when this was completed
she gave the roof two solid coats of
paint. Then without assistance, Mrs.
Ewing constructed chimney IA feet
high. and just three weeks and four
days after her arrival her house was
complete at cost of $500.
In the new home Mr.. Ewing's health
is fast improving, and he will soon be
able to take up farming.
