Some Pertinent Questions That Can A
be Answered With one Reply.

WHY is it that in burlington and its SUI
burbs with Il combined population OF over
On there is only one medicinal pre-
paration which gives statements from res
idcnts to back up its representations?
why IL ii that Doan's Kidney Pills do
this in every other city and town of any
Importance in the Union?
why is 1t that there are advertised in
every newspaper dozen remedies and
only one can supply local proof, local en-
dorsation of its claims?
The solution of the problem is simple.
only one remedy has the curing and the
staying power.
Other remedies make all kinds of gigan-
tic, yet futile efforts to get local proof,
but the attempt ends in producing stat
mcut or two from places, that as far as
burlington Is concerned, might as well
be i'm the moon.
Here is Burlington proof which backs
up the merits of Dodn's Kidney Pills.

Mn king Weather.

The emperor of China has somo
strange duties. One of these is the Or
dering Of the seasons. 1t is summer
in America when the sun warns the
earth, and not till then, but in China it
is summer when the emperor says 1t is
summer.
AS soon as the emperor declares that
summer has come everybody in China
puts off winter clothing and arrays
himself In summer garb, no matter
what his feelings say on the subject.
All domestic arrangements are made
to suit the season, as proclaimed by
the emperor, although they may not
suit the individual at all.
The nearest approach to the Chinese
custom of ordering the seasons is the
practice observed in France in all pub
lie buildings. There 1t is winter on and
after Oct. 1. Fires are then lighted in
all government offices, and the serv-
ants exchange their white summer
waistcoats for the thicker and darker
ones Of winter.
At that date the public libraries are
closed at 4, and in the streets the SELL
crs Of roasted chestnuts make their ap-
pearance. In official France it is win
ter, no matter what the weather may
say and no matter what unofficial
France may think.-Youth's Compan-
ion. hr.,,,.r.,,.-

Lightning's Strange Franks.

The lightning plays some queer
pranks in its wild career. The
electric storm Thursday evening
was the severest witnessed in our
city for some time. The bolt of
lightning that struck the brick
chimney on the residence of Mr..
Charles T. Reese, No. 707 Adams
streets, was witnessed by the writ
err, who was standing looking out of
his bedroom at the time. Thelight-
ming was of the cham variety and
the flash was accompanied by a
deafening crash, lighting up the
streets almost as brilliantly as day.
1t looked at the first glance as if
the bolt had struck the cupola of
the Boys High School at Eighth
and Jackson streets. Mr.. Reese's
family were sitting in the parlor
when the lightning struck the back
chimney and the shower of bricks
as they tumbled down on the tin
roof Of the shed, was startling to
the inmates.
Mrs. James Reese's family living
next door, were in the sitting room
in the vicinity where the lightning
struck and were partially stunned
for second or more. The damaged
chimney was repaired by the Lin
derman Brothers on Friday. 1t
was lucky the houses were not set
atire by the bolt, which expended
itself in the cellar.

THIS BOY
WAS BURNED.
Willie Carson's Clothes
Caught Fire But He
Will Recover. -

There came near being another
fatality from fire last night. Eight
year old Willie Carson, son of Will
liam Carson, of No. $40 East Fourth
street, got in the way Of burning
gas jet while taking matches from
box, and in an instant his clothes
were afire. His screams alarmed
his parents, who soon reached him.
With great presence of mind Wal
lies grandfather seized rug and
by means of it extinguished the
flames, but not before the little fell,
lows clothes were burned from his
body and the flesh on his breast and
arms roasted. Fortunately the boy
did not inhale the flames.
DR.. Buckmaster who is attending
the child, says that although the
burns are very severe, there is no
danger OF the boys death as re-
suit,

An Ideal SpOt.
Several Wilmingtonians are sum.

Several Wilmingtonlans are sum-
mering at Pennsgrove, N. ].
Mr.. John H. Dandy, cashier of
the Union bank has a very pretty
house fronting on the Delaware
river, where his family are spending
the summer.
Mr.. A. G. McCausland, superin-
tcndent of the Wilmington & North
ern Railroad has a comfortable
and commodious dwelling located in
close proximity to Mr.. Danby's
residence.
Mr.. Joseph A. Comfy is summer
ing in a house boat anchored in the
Delaware in front of Mr.. Danby's
residence and he and his family are
enjoying all the benefits of a life on
the rolling deep, lulled to sleep by
the soothing swash of the waves as
they rise and fall, and the cool
breezes thrown in. This is an
ideal spot for Wilmingtonians to
pass the summer, away from the
heat of the city.
The steamer Ulrica makes sever
al trips daily to and from Penns-
grove, the last boat leaving here for
Pennsgrove at o'clock in the even
ing. 1t is a wonder that more Will
mingtonians have not picked on this
spot to spend the summer, as it is
close to the city and easy of access.

NarlrOba of n Chinese MntrOn,

1t seems that there are changes of
fashion in the dress Of Chinese wo-
men, but they are confined chiefly to
The variations Of length Of the tunic
and the wearing or leaving off u skirt.
The usual garments are trousers, q
skirt and two or three little coats.
The Chinese woman making an aft
ernoon visit takes off her skirt just in
the way that an English lady would
remove her cape. If it is very warm,
she may take off one or possibly two of
the little coats.
The trousers are really the most gor-
geous part of the costume, being some
times of rose colored satin worked
with gold Blue cotton is generally
used for everyday wear.
Chinese women wear no corsets, but
they compress their waists for all that.
They have scarcely any width Of hip,
SO they tie the waist cords of their gar
ments to quite painful degree Of

II given out as positive fact that the
