Something ID knOW.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restoring
the tired out system to a healthy
vigor is Electric Bitters. This medicine
is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone
to the nerve centre in the stomach,
gently stimulates the liver and kidneys.
and aids these organs in throwing off
impurities in the blood. Electric Bitters
improves the appetite, aids digestion,
and is pronounced by those who have
tried it as the very best blood purifier
and nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for soc

Store.

Sleep Tor Young People.

A few words for the benefit of young
mothers on the sleep children require.
This is much more than the sleep nee
essary TO grown up people, as the lit
tie ones impressionable, nervous sys-
TENS could not bear during long wax
ing hours the strain to which they
would be subjected. Mainly, however.
they require more sleep because while
sleeping all the vital powers are con-
centrated on building them up, instead
of being diverted to muscular move
ments and other influences which
would interfere with this concentra-
ton. If children are wakeful and rest
less it is an indication that something
is wrong; this wrong the mother
should endeavor to put right rather
than stupefy the child for time in
order to gain rest for herself. The
something wrong" will often be found
to be improper or excessive feeding,
too tight or too warm clothing or con-
fined and impure air.-N. Y. Herald.

ETIQUETTE NOTES.
various Little Actions Which Are
Not Considered Good Form
in Public.

1t is vulgar to overload the finger.
with rings, no matter how beautiful thu
hand or the jewelry. A few very choice
rings, say two, are quite sufficient te
wear at once.
1t is not good form to beckon to ar
acquaintance in public places, or to uss
the hand in pointing out places.
The proper way to serve celery is II
low dish filed with cracbed ice.
When leaving party or receptionit
ia not necessary TO take leave of any
person but ones hostess or hostesses
and the leave-taking and departure
should be done as quietly as possible.
1t is not considered polite to smoke
in the presence of ladies, and young
women should not permit it, or en-
encourage it by easy tolerance. A man
who is gentleman and who respects
woman can and does deny himself
the pleasure of smoking when he is in
her society.
Dyed hair is considered bad form; II
certainly is in the worst possible taste
and never deceives any person; neither
does 1t make anyone look more youth
full.
For simple yet perfect little dinner
'fcur courses are sufficient; they may
consist of soup, roast with its suit
able vegeta bles, salad, and sweet
dish; for instance, pudding, or ice
cream and black coffee.
A pretty feature of country house
weddings is the winding up of the fes-
tivity with dance; another feature,
and one which makes the affair less
trying to the bride and groom, is the
air of informality that seems insep-
arabic from country fetes.
Afternoon weddings are more in
vogue than for many years; the high
noon hour is favorite hour for we'd
dings this year, especially in the coun-
try.
Patriotic lawn parties are in high
favor, and it goes without saying that
wherever the national colors can gain
a foothold there they are seen.
Good form requires reserve of man
ner, grace of bearing and refined mod
esty to be shown as much in bathing
costume as in ball dress, therefore
one must be more than careful in ones
conduct at the seashore.
There is certain amount of freedom
allowable at the seaside and at the
mountains, but among refined people
it never degenerates into the license
shown by public loungers and loud
voiced Observation-Disclosures World.

BRAVE HARRY MAcNEAL.
How the Young Marine signalized
Himself at the Battle
of Santiago.

Harry L. MacNeal is Philadelphian
He is the marine who, at the imminent
risk of his life, placed himself in the
fire Of the enemy at the destruction
of the Spanish feet to dislodge q
jammed cartridge from one of the
starboard six-pounder guns, and who
was highly praised for his bravery in
the report Of his commander, which
was reiterated by Commodore Schley,
Up to the time of his enlisting in
the marine corps MacNeal lived with
his parents In the house where he was
born, at 721 North Forty-first street,
this city. His father, Charles B. Mac
Neal, had this to say about his son:
Harry is still mere boy, although
always of size and build remarkable
for his years. When l read in the pa
pers of his bravery / was proud of
him, but can't say that l was sur
prised, for he has always been coura-
geous lad and was forever wanting to
60 to sea.
'Why, he enlisted three years ago,
when he was only II. He did it with
out my knowledge, and yet his pro-
portions were such that the enlisting
officials took it for granted that he
was over 81. His mother wanted me
to take him out, but knew that would
be useless, and that he would simply
run away and enlist again. Now I'm
glad let him stay. He is very modest,
and although we have had several let
ters from him since the battle not one
mentioned his brave deed, SO that the
first we knew Of 1t was from the
pspers.
aHe has always been full of animal
spirits, and sometimes was mischiev-
GUS, but always genercss and kind and
honest and brave. An Irish blacksmith
over here said to me to-day that Harry
was SO strong he used to steal the
smiths anvil from the shop. I used
to want to kick 'im,' he said, but now
when he comes home I'll be after hug.
gin him."
MacNeal comes Of fighting stock.
His ancestors are from Lancaster
county on his fathers side and from
Chester on his mothers. The family
was represented in the revolution and
the war of 1912. MacNeal's maternal
grandfather fought in the Mexican
war and his father is veteran of the
civil war.-Philadelphia Press.
