PHIIJADETP -CSperiaD. The uni
versal lighting ordinance passed by CITY
councils went into effect last week, and
IT was a source Of gratincatlon 10 inc
wheelmen to see that the new law "as
so generally understood and observed
by the drivers Of business teams ana
pleasure carriages Although dealers In
bicycle and carriage lamps have been
doing a laud-ofice business the past week
or two. the number Of railroad lanterns
and even torches decorating inc wagons
of those drivers whom accident OF ne
cessity kept on the streets aiter sun
down was astonishing. The majority OF
the drivers of covered wagons have
however. adopted the scheme OF iasteh-
ing a bicycle lamp 10 the front part OF
the wagon cover, directly over the uIlF0' .
seat while uncovered wagons are pro
provided with a special bracket 10 DC

mutton of the seasons crop OF night ac-
cidents which always begin with the
advent Of warm weather. A Few arrests
have been made for non-ooserVahce Oh
the new law. and in each case the cur
prit pleadcd ignorance Of the existence OF
the new measure. They were nned' new
ertheless.
Something unique in saddles has been
on the English market Tor sew
months. II Is called the pneumatic bah
saddle from its construction when con-
prises a series Of inflated balls covering
the saddle base. The inventor CLAIMS
that saddle soreness is Impossible, each
part OF the seat acting separately.
The Whoelmen OF the Capital city are
much interested in the project Of certain
Maryland cyclists TO build cycle pain
from Chambersburg to Hagerstown IT Is
proposed 10 construct a path twenty
miles long and from four TO nine feet IN
width. The materials 10 be used IN the
construction OF the path VIII be SAND,
clay and cinders. and something IKE $l9W
will be expended on the work Inc

while. The example set by these ener-
getic wheelmcn might well be followed
by wheelmen all over tho country.

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1898-02-21

The dullest man has in him some
thing original. 1t is sin.
The man is usually in the right who
owns himself in the wrong.
In religious controversy ferocity Is
not the only sign of fidelity.
For a certain class of minds, infidel.
it.T is the hallmark of genius.
The waters of Lethe drown the past.
the blood of Jesus cleanses it.
He who casts stones at others, makes
of himself a target for their return.
For an epitaph: "He believed in q
free gospel: it never cost him a cent"
christianity is all very well, but a
man must live" Yes, to all eternity.
The confession of past folly may b,
only the profession of present wisdom
The thing that makes pessimism is
r2.lure TO find in men what angels pos
,ess.
Take care of Number One but take
care it is the right one-the soul, not the
body.
Who would refuse the offer of eter
nal life, If he could put a mortgage
on it?
Encyclopedias have to be rewritten
every ten years; the old Bible is still up
TO date.
7 temple to Venus was erected or
Calvary: it was the best the devil
could do.
| He who always complains of the
! clouds receives little of life's sunshine
/ and deserves less.
! The mind, like the lens, may be con
cave and scatter brain power or con
| veX and concentrate it.
The man who denounces the existing
! order of things should speedily suggesl
! some means of Improvement.
When the Y rays are so perfected al
! to reveal mans thought, there will
be radical change in thinking.
st. John saw in heaven "a great mul
titude which no man could NUMBER" OF
what on earth are called fools
Giving an inspiration to another Is
like filling lamp with oil, some time
the light will brighten a dark corner.
1t is the shadow on the dial thai
proves the sun is shining, so with om
/ lives, afiiiction may show the presence
of Guiding Hand.
We are training ourselves here fol
what we shall be hereafter; according
ly, some spend the Lords day worship
, Ing; others. cmoking.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1898-02-21

The newest collar is the one known
ts cripple" which really does not
ripple any more than those of last year.
1t differs from the old collar in that it
fits snugger to the neck, and yet has
the same effect of fiaring which it had.
If the collar flares too much it loses in
warmth, and yet it is the flare which
is becoming to most faces. An ingen-
ious maker offur garments has obviated
this difficulty by making the collar
slightly more faring; and then catch
ing it in plaits about two inches wide
at regular intervals. The plat is not
evident except upon close inspection,
and yet the collar has the effect of be-
ing extremely full, at the same time
standing up snug and trim around the
neck so as hardly to require fastening
in front. /

Duck Eggs In an AIbumen Factory,

Near Chinkiang, China, is great
albumen factory, for 1.-THE utilization
OF the duck eggs which are produced
in that region in enormous quantities,
hocks of 1000 Iand 5000 ducks being
by no means uncommon. The eggs
are broken at the rate of from 40, 900
to 60, 600 per day by women, who sep
arate the white from the yolk, the
former being carefully cleaned and
dried until they resemble fish glue,
when they are packed in 400-pound
cases lined with zinc. The yolks are
passed through selves into twenty
five gallon receptacles, mixed with a
salt and borax solution, packed in 500.
pound barrels, and used in Europe
for preparing and dressing articles of
superior quality. The albumen find a
ready market in England, Fraree and
Germany for dyes for the best cation
goods.-Philadelphia Press.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1898-02-21

Old-fashioned pink canoes are COM
ing into vogue again, and the old-time
setting is to be retained.
Huguenot caps are added to the
tops of many of the short, full, puffed
sleeves of evening bodies.
Collars with stole ends are worn by
the woman who loves frills. They
can be fashioned by any deft fingers
directed by taste.
Many of the demi- trained dress
skirts are cut with nine cores, and at
the back some are box-plaited and
others an-plaited.
the small pad hustle is now worn
with the latest day costumes and even
ing toilets; and those OF larger pro-
portions are announced.
Cravats of white net, null or liberty
silk, trimmed with frills of lace, chiffon
or net. are made easily and may be as
simple or as elegant as time, skill and
purse permit. Owing to their airy
daintiness they seem especially suit
able for gifts.
Among the handsome imported
gowns seen at some recent openings,
several were of black Chantilly lace,
embroidered with steel or jet sequins
and beads and made over black satin.
1t is predicted that lace costumes will
be much worn in Paris next year.
Peplums, which are added to Rus
sian blouses, jacket bodices, surplice
waists and similar garments, are
ahaped in various ways. Some are
credelated, others cut in oval tabs or
sharp Vandykes, and also in circular
form, with OF without plaits at the
back.
Velvet is in high favor for smart
gowns this season. Corduroy is seen
in Paris, the ribs being wide apart.
Some of the swellest carriage and
evening wraps have bishop sleeves,
quite wide. and The width equal from
the shoulder to the narrow bands at
the wrists.

Turkish Girls.

Turkish girls of the better class in
the cities, after they are too old to at
tend the primary schools, are largely
educated at home by governesses,
many of whom come from England and
France, but. unfortunately, do not al
ways represent the highest culture of
these nations, so that the real love of
study is not as a rule, developed un-
der their influence. Turkish women
have great aptitude for foreign Ian
guages, and those met on the steamers
of the Bosphorus often speak French,
and it is not unusual for them to
speak German and English also.
1t is well-known fact that many
Turkish women are engaged in trade,
some even carrying on an extensive
business, involving frequent journeys
to Egypt and other places, which pre-
supposes the ability to read and write,
as well as some knowledge of arithme-
tic. Moreover, conversation with the
Mussulman woman in the capital re-
veals some progress at the present
time in independence of thought, and,
while social conditions have unavoida-
bly, arrested the development of Tur.
kish women as class, forces are
slowly but surely working among chem
that will result in their final emancipa.
