the State of New York have come. to the
front and have prepared themselves to
meet this growing demand for trained

by the Legislature. and 10000 acres OF
land from their Adirondack reservation
was set apart for the use of the univer-

should be most ready to take their place
on this vital subject, but also of the pub

that the Sierra Club should use all proper

A Fatal Accident.

Last Friday afternoon about four
O'Clock Mr.. A. d. Goodman, operator
and engineer for the u. S. Pipe Line
Co., at Westfield, met with an accident
which terminated in death few hours
thereafter. One of the belts running
from the counter shaft to an engine or
piece of machinery on the floor became
loose and Mr.. Goodman threw the belt
from the machine and was in the act
of relacing it when the pulley unex-
pectedly returned to the pulley on the
overhead shaft, causing it to tighten
up and catch onto the belt wheel ofthe
machinery. Mr.. Goodman's clothing
was caught and twisted about the belt
which whirled him around the shaft,
causing the dislocation of one of his
legs at the knee and internal injuries.
He was taken to his home on Maple
street and Drs. Kunkl, Mastin and
Patterson summoned who did all in
their power to restore the man to con-
sciousness, but with no results, and he
died about midnight without rallying.
Mr.. Goodman was a man about 81
years of age, and leaves a wife and
three children. He was q member of
the Maccabee and State Degree of
Honor lodges and had $4,000 insurance
on his life. The funeral was held Mon
day at 1:30 p. M, at the home, Rev. w.
o. Peet officiating. Music was furnish
ed by male quartette. The remains were
taken to CORY, Pa, for burial.-Gale-

The bedroom is often neglected, es-
pecially in winter, yet next to the
kitchen it is the most important room
In the house. for large part of ones
life is passed there. The bed should
first have all the coverings stripped
off onto two chairs set at the foot. The
mattress should be doubled so the air
may get to all parts. With the win
dows open the room should be left for
an hour at least, except in severe
weather. Each piece of bedclothing
should be we'll shaken before it is re-
turned to the bed, and the pillows beat
en- and patted into shape. The white
spread, which should have been re-
moved and folded when the bed was
prepared for use the night before is now
fresh and smooth. If pillow shams
are not used the creased slips may be
exchanged for fresh day cases and the
former laid aside for evening use
again. The bed is not all that needs
close care in the sleeping room. The
busting is far more important than
most people suspect. The fluff and
dust that accumulate everywhere are
favorite resting places for disease
germs, and for this reason the bits of
pretty drapery, the bric-a-brac and all
other ornaments are not to be COM
mended in a bed chamber. Every
piece Of furniture should be carefully
wiped off each day with soft cloth,
which should be shaken out the win
dow. Once a week the room should
receive a thorough sweeping, when
every article should be moved and no
nook or corner left unbrushed. The
receptacles for waste water should be
washed and scalded every day in sum
mer; also summing when possible. The
wash clothes, too, should be washed
and scalded to keep them from sour
ing. Soiled clothes should never be
left in sleeping room; they will so
soon contaminate the atmosphere.
Shoes and other articles of apparel will
soon gather dust and look very untidy.
When these precautions have been
closely followed there will never be
found in bedroom the close, unpleas-
ant odor so often noticed even in hand
some but stuffy sleeping rooms. These
malodors are not only disagreeable, but
positively unhealthy, especially for
delicate persons and children. The
palmer and simpler the furnishing the
easier it is to keep in order

ACE and MARRIAGE.

A woman's prospect OF marriage is
distinctly affected by age. The statis-
tics of all countries show that the
great majority of women marry be-
tween the ages of 20 and 80. Before
reaching 20 woman has, Of course, a
chance Of matrimony, but the objec-
tons raised by parents or friends to
marriage at tender age frequently
outweigh the desire of the young wom-
an to acquire husband, and lead her
to defer the wedding day. All the stat
istics that have been gathered bear
out the statement that a woman's best
chance to marry is at the age Of 25,
that over six-tenths Of the marriages
take place between 20 and 80, and con-
sequently that a woman's chance in
creases up to Us, and steadily decreases
after that age until it reaches the van
ishing point somewhere about 60. Out
of 1000 married women 149 marry be-
fore the age of 20, $50 between 20 and
80, i'll between 80 and 40, the woman
in the thirties having not so good
chance as the girl in her teens; be-
tween the ages of 40 and so the falling
off is enormous, only II in 1000 con-
tracing an alliance in that decade,
while past so the chances still further
diminish, for the woman who has cell
ebrated the semi-centennial of her
birth has only nineteen chances in
thousand.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1899-12-07

The woman who keeps the simplicity
of her girlhood, It's generous impulses
and quick sympathies, and who adds
to her gifts the enlargement of study
and the crown of experience, is always
at her best and never past it. When
the exterior attractions of form and
color diminish and depart, as they
mostly do. the radiance Of our inner
illumination will more than compen-
safe their departure. But. in order that
this should be so, her moral must equal
her intellectual gain. She must be will
ing to learn not only her own powers,
but her own defects also, and to court
the good influences which can help her
to escape from the decisions of sense
and the fatal tyranny of self-conscious-
ness. She must discard the petty
measures Of vanity and self-seeking,
and learn to love her race, her coun-
try. and the humanity which she
should help to adorn.

Household Hints.

When washing dishes be careful that
hand-painted china and china with gilt
ornamentation is not left to stand in
hot water, as it will injure the decora-
ton sooner or later.
When rubbing up the stoves at fall
cleaning, don't forget that the isinglass
windows may be most quickly and
thoroughly frightened by using vine
gar and water. Rub them quickly with
a soft rag dipped in the vinegar and
water, being careful to go we'll into
the corners. This will keep the win
dows clean for long time.
A little powdered borax added to
cold starch, it is said, will give extra
stiffness to linen.
When washing ivory or pearl han
died knives never put the handles In
the water. Clean the knife blade and
quickly dry each knife. never letting

Tho Pink Tipped Ear.

There seems to have come the craze
for earrings and with it women are be-
ginning to discover that small and
delicately shaped ear, pink tipped, is
one essential element of beauty. A
pink-tipped ear is as becoming as q
rosy cheek. l think it was Mrs. Ken
dali who set us this lesson, upon the
occasion of her first visit. Many a
girl is remembering the lesson now,
and, while she may scorn powder, she
cannot resist touching the tips OF her
ears with bit OF rouge. 4 woman
with pale ears may be safely set down

ne laughingly offered her position in
MS company, which was accepted at
once. During the run of the comedy
at the Star theater, New York. her
acting and naive methods attracted
the attention of Chas. Frohman. who
engaged her to create the role of
Wilbur's Ann in "The Girl 1 Left Be-
hind Me" at the Empire theater, in
which she scored an emphatic hit.
De Wolf Hopper had become ac-
quainted with Miss Wallace along the
first of her New York engagement,
and it must have been a case of love at
first sight, for in a few weeks the we'll
known comedian had married the pret-
ty soubrette, who, in three years, had
made a name for herself.
While Mr.. Hopper was presenting
"Panjandrum" at the Broadway thea
ter, Della Fox was taken i'll, and when
she decided to take vacation in the
form of a trip to Europe, the big CO.
median was at his wits end to find a
substitute to play the part of Paquita
in her absence.
MI. Frohman was appealed to, and
on the following Monday evening Miss
Wallace, who had in the meantime be-
come Mr.. Hoppers wife, played Miss
Fox's part. Mrs. Hopper continued to
play the role for sixteen weeks anu
when Miss Fox deserted the Hopper
standard for stellar honors, she re-
manned in the part until "Dr. Syntax"
was produced at the Broadway theater.
She then created the character Of
Merope Mallow in that comic opera,
and during the comedians memorable
tour last season, which included San
Francisco and all the principal west
ern and southern cities, she alternated
the character of Merope with that Of
Mataya, the Crown Prince, in wang"
