CAVE AT MINOOKA.
Number Of Buildings Were Damaged
by the Sinking of the Surface
Early Yesterday Morning.

About 2.30 o'clock yesterday morn
Ing, another cave-in occurred at Mi
nooka. The surface settled in such a
violent way that about fifteen houses
were damaged.
The sinking was accompanied by n
roar and rumbling, much mere violent
and loud that at last Tuesdays cave.
The affected territory is near the
Greenwood hill, alcng the main road.
The surface has sunk from Kane's
drug store on the north to within a
short distance of Fassold's hall, the
main road, street car track included,
having settled about three feet. Thos.
Walsh's large house, on the side of the
road was put entirely out of plumb,
and now rests at a slanting angle.
The house itself is badly damaged,
the basement wall being broken, the
porch warped and the chimney thrown
down.
Two houses, owned by James Con-
molly are badly damaged, and Martin
Walsh's home sunk about five feet.
Another of Mr.. Walsh's houses, in the
rear of his lot, which is occupied by
William Faufort, suffered bad injuries,
the foundation being torn, the parti-
tions loosened, plaster being knocked
off the walls, and other damages taxi
ing place.
Altogether about six acres of land
sunk. and fell about five feet into the
Cory mines upper vein. 1t is a for
tunate thing that the land sunk in a
uniform manner, as it thus prevented
a great deal of loss.
An odd fact of the affair is that the
houses which were thrown out Of posi-
tiOn by last weeks cave-in are almost
restored to their places by yesterdays 8
accident.
The house of Festus Connolly, which
was badly thrown out of place by the
cave-in last Tuesday, is almost re-
turned to its original position. The
houses of Michael King, Patrick Pow
ell, Frank Tooe. John Porter, Franz
Kane, John King, Michael Egan ana
Mrs. T,uane were also considerably
damaged by the settling of the earth.
Household articles and dishes were
considerably ruined in all these places.
Yesterday morning a force of men was
sent out by the Scranton Railway COM
pany to repair it's tracks, and there
fore traffic was not interfered with,
although the track needs readjusting.
John McDonough. John Wallace and
Thomas sullivan went into the mine
yesterday morning and returned, re-
porting that the upper vein was yet
working and very threatening
sounds could be heard in the mine.

New Designs In Iamns

Nearly all of the newest designs in
lamps favor the low stand in prefer
ence to the old high piano lights
which have been in fashion for so
many years. The bowls of the lamps
have wide and shallow appearance.
and more attention has been paid to
the character of the light. The fault
OF many of the handsome. expensive
lamps has too often been that they
gave very poor, feeble light. I'm
provements in this direction will be
thankfully received.
Decorations of the bowls and shades
show wide variation, but dark, rich
colors for the bowls are the most in
favor Some very rich effects are OBJ
tanned by blending the dark colors so
that the reflection of the light on them
brings out certain hues never before
attempted in lamps. The big silk and
paper shades are naturally inappro-
pirate for short, squatty lamps, and
the plain and decorated glass globes
and paneled shades are in fashion.
Altogether the effect is in such strik-
ing contrast to the old tall piano
lamps, with their great frilled and
elaborate silk shades, that it makes Il
noticeable difference in the furnishing
OF the parlor or library. New

Kitchen Pots md pnns

There has been great change IL
cooking since those primitive DAYS
when the kneading trough or bowl of
wood, the kettle that hung over the
open fire, and the earthenware or clay
pipkins were the only kitchen dishes.
The invention of stoves has filed orr
Kitchens with multitudes of pots and
pans inferior to the old ones, which
lasted lifetime, and sometimes sew
eral generations Modern utensils of
the best kind will not bear such test.
In the rush to obtain variety in cook
ing utensils the special use to which
the dish is to be put and the fitness of
the material of which it is made for
the purpose for which it is designed
are often overlooked A pot intended
for slow cookery, like one for cooking
dried fruits or vegetables, should be
made of thick earthenware. One in
tended for cooking meats should be
first OF all n good conductor of heat.
therefore copper kettle will do the
work of preparing n stew or praised
dish more expeditiously than a pot of
iron. Iron is a wholesome metal. but
1t is so heavy that it ought to be dis
carded for kitchen purposes whenever
1t can be, as it is an Indifferent CON
ductor of heat. Copper is also heavy,
but 1t Is such an excellent heat con
ductor that it is generally employed
by expert cooks for all superior cook
ing, baking dishes as well as pots and
saucepans. In aluminium we have the
ideal metal OF the kitchen. 1t is n
good conductor of heat, and it is
ideally light in weight, and does not
become furnished as copper and all
other metals do. The price of alum
mum still keeps it out of the reach of
many kitchens, but the time must
soon come when all obstacles to its
manufacture at low price will be
done away with. and the kitchen of
the poorest woman in the land will be
furnished with shining lightweight
kitchen pots and pans equal to those

Some of the .GenoraI Rules which
Health Dictates

Health Dictates
Regarding the proper time for a hath
simple general rule may be given
says Woman's Life. Take cold baths
on rising in the morning and warm
ones just before retiring. In taking
Turkish or Russian baths the hour
need not be considered, except as in
all baths, none of which should be
taken less than an hour or so before
or after meals. Where it is possible
use fresh. clean ralnwater for the
bath. This is the nearest approach TO
distilled water, which is too extensive
for general use Soft water is next
best TO rainwater, and little boraX
or ammonia in hard water Will soften
II. Brisk rubbing should always fol-
low bath; then the bath will do all
that is claimed for 1t in the way OF
renoVating the person. invigorating
the system, increasing the fineness and
softness OF the skin and making one
look and feel younger. Cleanliness of
the skin has great effect on the
general health, and It is well known
that If one has been exposed to iufec-
tion the best thing to do by way of
precaution is to take hot bath i'm
mediately. 1t is a mistake to remain
too long in tepid bath. Thirty min
utes should be the limit Throughout
the winter and early spring it is best.
If one is at all liable to chills, to take
ones bath at night. Just before going
to bed. If taken in the daytime. brisk
exercise of dumbbell practice is highly
beneficial.
