In an Auburn shoe shop where COM
pulsory vaccination was enforced. it is
said that one employee who doesn't be-
lieve in vaccination escaped it by a
clever ruse. He purchased pastebOard
vaccination shield at the druggists and
adjusted ii upon his arm. When the
foreman of his room came alqng and
took him by the arm and asked him il
he had been yaccinated he shouted out:
BE careful. be careful. Don't hurt that
arm. Then he called the foreman's
attention to the vaccination shield and
told him that it was taking first rate.
The foreman was satisfied and passed
on.

Steady Work Until Year Ends.

The August letter of the Anthracite
Coal Operators Association estimates
the output to August l at 1920, 900
tons from January /. The letter com
ments: "If the August production is
kept nearly to $500, 600 tons, the total
on September 1 will be some %, 700, 900
tons, leaving, on the basis of As, 900, 900
tons for the year, 10,300 900 tons to be
mined in four months. Even assuming
the December output at 1900, 900 tons,
which would be exceptionally large,
there would remain 5,000,O0O tons a
month to be produced and marketed In
September, October and November. 1t
is extremely doubtful if this can be
done, because of the continuance of the
difficulty to secure sufficient labor and
the growing scarcity Of cars in which to
transport the fuel"

is In great malne rosettes the only

This is considered good speed for the
vessel. We had religious services on
board regularly for all who wished to
participate. They were held by two
clergymen of the Episcopal church who
were bound for the Philippines to do
missionary work.
sTowAwAYs on BOARD.
We also had two stowaways on board.
They were discovered few days out
from San Francisco and were put ashore
at Honolulu. When we were out some
hours from the latter port and the pilot
had left us, the boys appeared on deck
again and were carried on to Manila.
They were from ten to twelve years
old.
On May 4 we crossed the 1S0th meri-
dian and at noon on that date struck n
day off our calendar. Thursday became
Friday, and instead of being eight
hours behind San Francisco time we
were sixteen hours ahead. Brush up a
little on geography and you will see
how this came about.
The Pacific was calm and quiet all
the way out. We had about forty cases
of measles on board, but nothing more
serious. On the twelfth day out we
passed a group of three little islands.
On one there was volcano in full oper-
alton. | think the island is called
Muta.
Even a volcano was q relief to the eye
then, as some of the boys were prepar-
ing to swear that the old boat was going
around in circle and would never
reach land. But all things come to him
who waits, and land in abundance fin
ally rose before use after we steamed
into the China sea. From there into
Manila bay and then into the harbor

Girls and women in general do not
understand the graceful manipulation
of the hand. They are apt to use their
hands more awiwardly than any other
part of the body. This is because 1t
is apt to receive small attention. and
1t suffers from neglect. To timber the
fingers and give elasticity to the mus
cles one should practice regularly IA
course Of hand gymnastics. Especial
ly If one has much writing to do will
the hands appear stiff and awkward
unless well cared for. Thin hands can
be made plump by rubbing them with
n good tissue builder A homely hand,
one that cannot be made pretty by any
contrivance, may be made halfway
prescntable by sleeves which droop
conveniently over it. To keep the
hands smooth use few drops of this
lotion after washing: Four ounces
of orange flower water, one ounce of
glyccrine, ten drops carbolic acid,

FREELAND, PA, AUGUST 10, 1899


From the Tamaqua Courier.
A corporation that treats its employees
fairly and with the amount OF respect
and consideration that they merit is
generally in a prosperous state and its
dividends invariably overtop those Of
corporations that follow the alternative
course. If laboring man is well
treated, his wages fair and his hours
regular, his work will be characterized
by faithfulness and fidelity to the inter
ests of his employers. 1t is but one Of
the dictates of human nature for man
to rebel under unjust treatment and to
perform his duties in a slip-shod man
ner without having the interests of his
employers at heart.
The Pennsylvania Railroad is one of
the most humane corporations of its
kind in the country. Any grievance of
the men is given a prompt audience and
II a just cause exists steps are at once
taken to rectify the wrong. This system
has added materially in making the
Pennsylvania one of the best conducted
railroads in the country.
The Pennsylvania does not believe
that a man is incompetent when he
passes the two score mark in life but
believes that he is rich in experience, is
careful and painstaking and more trust
worthy than a young man, who is liable
to err, and an error or miscalculation
on railroad generally results in an
appalling sacrifice of life. Wrecks
and catastrophes on this road are in
consequence remarkably few because
competent men are employed at good
wages.
The Pennsylvania Railroad is now
about to inaugurate a pension system
that will go long way toward inspiring
harmony and kindred feeling among
their employees. Under the pension
system at present in course of forma-
tion seventy years is the age fixed for
compulsory retirement and any man
who has been in the employ of the
company for thirty years will be eligible
to a pension, the amount to be fixed in
comparison with the wages received.
1t will cost $3.50, 900 per annum to put
the plan into effect and the benefits to
be reaped by the employees are obvious
If other corporations followed the
precedent established by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad travelling would be made
safer and railroad strikes and dissatis-
faction among the men would be totally
eliminated

Adam and Eve may have been placed
somewhere else, but to me it seems that
Honolulu was their Paradise. The
whole city is one grand flower garden
and the fine shade from the large cocoa
nut trees, along with the breeze from
the sea, counteract the heat of the sun
and make the climate perfect.
OF course the weather in April was
warmer than we have at home in that
month, but the residents told us it
didn't get much hotter. We left two of
our men in Honolulu hospital. One had
intermittent fever and the other was
sick before we started from Fortress
Monroe.
The people Of Honolulu are a gener-
Gus, whole-souled race of people, quiet
and unassuming. The natives nearly
