ADVERTISEMENTS.
THE DUTY OF MOTHERS
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided in Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from a mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughterl
Tradition says woman must suffer,
and young women are so taught.
There is little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examine
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkhams address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letter from Miss MARIE
F. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
"My health became so poor that l
had to leave school. was tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. / was also troubled
with irregularity of menses. was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. My
mother, who Is firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per-
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice. / followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
you directed, and am now as well as I
ever was. / have gained flesh and have
good color. 1 am completely cured of
irregularity."

ROBBED VACANT HOUSES.
John Anderson, a Desperate Thief,
Finally Landed in Prison.

A shabbily dressed man giving his name
as John Anderson was arrested last night
by Policemen Brown and Ward while in
the act of breaking into the basement OF
an unoccupied house at Geary and Cough
streets He was taken to the City Prison
and locked in the tanks pending further
investigation. The police are inclined to
believe that Anderson is the individual
who has entered a number of vacant
houses during the past few weeks and
stole a number of glass globes and brass
faucets. In several cases he almost
wrecked the places he visited, so deter
mined was he not to leave anything OF

AIRING TIME ON THE COAST.
New jersey Have Their Stock
of Clothing Out.

Spring is airing time at the life-saving
stations along the New Jersey coast.
At every station, from Sandy Hook to
Cape May Point, wearing apparel is
taken out of chests and hung out where
the fresh sea breezes can blow through
it. There is enough clothing stored at
these stations to stock a shop. There
are garments to fit men and women, and
boys and girls. Even babies are pro-
vided. OF course the stock of children's
clothing is rather limited, as there is
rarely call for it. The majority of
the wearing apparel is for the use of
men. All this clothing is kept in readi-
ness for the unfortunates who may be
shipwrecked.
There is not government life-saving
station on the Atlantic, Pacific or Gulf
coast of the United States but what is
the possessor of such clothing outfit.
The stations on the great lakes are SINH
liarly supplied. There are stations
this clothing, but a springtime never
passes without every garment, hat or
shoe, being well aired. This is duty
which one of the patrolmen must per-
form each year. On the other hand
there are stations along the Atlantic,
especially on the New England coast,
where there is little opportunity of
airing the stock of clothing, shipwrecks
being SO frequent that the supply of
wearing apparel is constantly becom-
ing exhausted. Most of the clothing is
supplied by the Women's Benevolent
Seamen's Aid Society of New York.
In speaking of these contributions of
clothing, Capt. Kit Ludlam, keeper of
the Stone Harbor IN. J.) life-saving
station, said: "Thc last time l had oc-
casion to resort to our clothing chest
was in December, 1895. Every member
of my crew, in addition to seven poor
shipwrecked seamen, realized then the
great good those women in New York
were doing. In the dead of night the
big three-masted schooner Rodman r.
Nickerson was dashed upon the outer
bar by one of the tiercest northeasters
L have ever witnessed. So suddenly did
the great ship strand that the eight
members of the crew barely had time
to get to place of safety in the torn
and battered rigging. Here these poor
fellows chung for IA hours with the Their
mometer at the zero mark. 1t was in
the rescue of these men that I made the
greatest shot with the life line of all
my 30 years experience as a surfman.
Upon the first trial sent the line over
800 yards out to sea, and it dropped over
the shattered foremost of the stranded
ship. We brought seven men safely
ashore in the breeches buoy. All OF
them were soaking wet. When we got
the rescued sailors to the station ou1

sition, and from among its contents
every man was clad from head to foot
All of my crew were soaked, too, and
had to outfit them also."-N. Y. Sun.

BRASS INSTRUMENTS.
Method by Which Some of the Prin.
cipal Parts Are Brought
Into Shape.

The bell of brass band instrument,
which is the big end, extending back to
the bow or first bend, is made of sim
gle piece of metal which was originally
fiat. The pattern by which the metal
is cut is of the shape that bell would
have if it were slit straight down the
side from end to end and then flat
| tened out. When the fiat piece of metal
from which a bell is to be formed has
been cut out by such a pattern it is
bent by hand over rod until the edges
meet. The seam is brazed and the piece
of metal now has its trumpet-shaped
form, but with many little more or less
uneven places in the thin metal.
The bell is then placed upon wooden
mandrel, form which fills the interior
of the bell from end to end and is of the
size and shape to which the bell is to
be conformed. The inequalities in the
out of it by hand with wooden ham
mers, the bell being repeatedly driven
down upon the mandrel. When the bell
has at last been brought in this man
ner substantially to it's true form it is
finished and brought to it's perfect
smoothness of surface in spinning
machine.
The bow of the instrument is made
sometimes in two pieces, sometimes in
one. All of the very largest instru-
ments have the bow in two pieces,
which are cut from fiat metal, like the
bell piece. These fiat pieces, whose out
lines conform to the curve of the bow,
are struck into their rounded form with
dies, and the two halves thus made are
then joined. Many instruments of all
sizes are made with the bow thus
formed, but the costlier instruments,
of sizes other than the very largest, are
made with the bow of single piece,
bent.
The bow has some taper, being larger
at the end where the bell is joined to it
than at the other. The bent bow in it's
original form, as cut by the patterns, is
a straight flat strip of brass, little
narrower at one end than at the other,
in shape like that of the face of long,
slender keystone, SO that when it is
rounded up into tube shape it will have
the required taper. This piece is
brought into tube shape and brazed
and wrought into form and finish, all
except the bending of it into bow shape,
in substantially the same manner as
the bell. The slightly tapering but yet
perfectly wrought section of pipe is
then filled with molten lead. When the
lead has cooled the section of pipe thus
filled is laid across wooden form
shaped like the lower part of the let
ter U, into which it is gradually bent.
AS the pipe is bent down more and
more, little wrinkles appear along
across the inner side. These wrinkles
as they appear are beaten out by hand
with very small, light hammers, and
when the bow has finally been brought
down to it's form the surface of the in.
ner curve is as smooth as that of the
outer curve. Then the lead is melted
out of it, and the bow is put through
the process of fnishing.-N. Y. Sun.

Trimming for summer SILK.

Rows of black velvet ribbon are popu.
lar as a trimming for the summer silk,
whether it be foulard, taffeta, or soft
Louisine. If one width of ribbon is
used this is quite narrow, but one often
sees the ribbon applied in three widths,
graduating in size, with the narrowest
always at the top. Occasionally one
sees ribbon of the same tone employed
to trim the skirt of a summer silk, but
as rule black is in request for all sorts
and conditions on colored silks.-Chi.
