an attack and she always had a pistol
within easy reach.
About 3 O'Clock her brother was
awakened by two shots in the house
and Fastening to his sisters room
| found her lying dead On the floor with
a bullet wound in the head. The bur
| flar had sealed the porch posts and
entered the win,iow Of Miss Murphy's

Philadelphia, Dec. 1S.-Railroad
arvica in this state. which was badly

Lehigh Valley. Central Ct New Jersey,
| Pennsylvania Delaware. Lackawanna
ard Western and New York Central.
| In some localities it will be weeks be-
| fore the damage is fully repaired.
! The sudden drop in the temperature
was providential in some respects. as
it prevented the food from spreading.

200o or more persons who were rem

| In the lcwer anthra cite coal region
The situation is growing worse. It
NAV be weeks before some of them can
! be worked. although there was re-
sumption TUESDAY in a few mines. II is
estimated that 10000 mine workers
and me, hanics are idle as a result OF
the food.
At Harrisburg tie Pennsylvania
Railroad company officials say that
trains from the west are now only
about two hours late.
On the Lehigh Valley and New Jer-
sey Central roads the service is still
very irregular The Reading railway
has been compelled to suspend traf-
fc on its Little Schuylkill branch be-
tween Port Clinton and Tamaqua be-
cause of numerous washours and the
loss of bridge.
Various estimates are given Of the
money loss entailed by the floods.
Conservative guessers place the loss at
from $4,000 900 to $4,000 600. So far
reports have been received here Of the
loss of nine lives in various parts OF
the state.

Needed a Chain.

A story is being told about a German
who has hotel far down town. An
artist-one of those barroom artists
who make pictures on mirrors with
soap-callcd on the German the other
day and asked for some work. "Well,"
the German said, you might paint a
brown bear on my sign. How much
would you charge to do it?" 'Two dol
lars" the artist answered Thereupon
the contract was made. and the bear
was painted.
AT the end of the job the artist said.
'sDon't you want ME to paint chain
on the beur?' Would you charge cx-
ira for that:" said the German. Eyes.
That would cost 81 extra" "Then
can't afford to have it DONE" The art
list departed. That night it rained, and,

1t away.
The German sent for the painter Mt

ly. 'is gone" The other answered,

out So. 50 for the painting Of another

picture permanent.
The chained bear now remains upon

Curious Vienna Law,

They have curious laws in Vienna
and enforce them too. Recently Marie
Frlcdl and Felix Kopstein, aged 10 and
13 years respectively. We're walking
along street In the Austrian capital
when they came across an old woman
staggering along under the weight of n
heavy package. Moved by pity, they
offered to carry 1t for the old woman, a
proposition to which She readily ac-
cedcd. The kind hearted children had
not gone far before they were arrested
by a policeman for carrying parcels
without a license. The children were
taken to police station, whore the Of
ficcr in charge lectured them upon the
enormity Of their offensc. They were
kept under arrest for six hours and
then released with a warning.
1t seems that there is corps of
messengers" in Vienna to which Il
municipal statute grants the exclusive
right of carrying" inside the city. The
bay and girl had violated the law by
carrying the old woman's burden, and

Natural Waters.

All natural waters contain q greater
or less amount of mineral matter in so
lution. Rain water has the smallest
percentage of solid Impurities of any.
and therefore it is taken as the stand
ard variety of soft water.
The terms soft and hard, however,
as applied to water are scientifically
considered purely relative.
Water is usually reckoned to be
"soft" when 1t contains less than one
five-thousandth part of it's weight Of
mineral ingredients and "hard" when it
contains more than one four-thou-
sandth
Soft water has the property of easily
forming lather with soap and is
therefore suitable for washing pur-
poses. while hard water will only form
lathcr, and that imperfectly, with
considerable difficulty.
"A mineral water has more than one
two-thousandth of Its weight of nat
ural dissolved solids, and medicinal
water is Il variety of mineral water
containing varying percentage of dis
solved natural solid or gaseous drugs.

A Last Resource,

A lady was recently reading to her
young son the story of a little fellow
whose father was taken i'll and died,
after which he set himself diligently
to work to assist IN supporting himself
and his mother. When she had finished
the story, she said:
Nov, Tommy. IL pa were to die,
wouldn't you work to keep mamma|
why, no." said the little chap, not
relishing the idea of work "What for7
Amt we got good house to live inY'
ooh, yes, my dear" said the mother.
"but we can't eat the house, you know"
We'll. amt we got plenty Of things
in the pantry?" continued the young
hopeful.
Certainly, DEAR" replied the mother,
"but they would not last long. and
what then"
well. ma" said the young incorrigl-
bic after thinking n moment, "ain't
there enough to last till you get anoth-
er husband"
Ma gave it up.-London Answers.

Dollar. In Oda shapes.

Under the law q silver dollar may be
q grain and Il half over weight or a
grain and 4 half under weight, and this
limit of tolerance applies to all of our
silver coins. In other words, they are
not allowed to vary more than that
much from standard. In the case Of
goldpieces, the limit is half grain
either way up to the eagle. a variation
Of as much as one grain being pcrmissi-
bic in the $40 and $50 pieces.
Whenever a fresh batch of dollars is
turned out at tie mint. samples are
forwarded to the treasury at Washing-
ton, where they are put through very
curious process. Each dollar is first
weighed ca cSGuisitely delicate scales
to make sure tliat 1t is heavy enough
and yet not tco heavy. Then 1t Is pass
ed between two steel rcllers again and
again until it is tlattcned out and
transformed into Il thin strip of silver
n sort of ribbon-a foot aud Il half in
length. Then it is put beneath little
machine provided with several small
punches. by which hundreds of tiny
disks are paGchcs out OF the metal
strip.
Now, the object of this performance
is to obtain samples of metal from all
parts of the dollar, inasmuch as 1t is
conceivable that one portion might be
richer in silver than another. The little
disks are shuiiled together, and a few
OF them, taken at random from the lot,
are subjected to an assay Thus this
finencss Of the material of the dollar is
ascertained with absolute accuracy
and, the weight having been already
determined, the value and correctness
of that coin are perfectly known.
The sample pieces having been found
correct, it is inferred that the entire
batch Of dollars is all right.-Saturday
Evening Post.

"Darling.
The strong, manly voice was low and
intense as the handsome face bent
over the fair, bowed head by the fire.
Darling" he went on eagerly, there
are others here observing us. l must

For an instant the listener was quiet,
and not curl stirred on the lofty
brow. Then the blue eyes We're raised
to the besceching dark ones.
"Yes, what is ity' was the low reply.
"I-well"-
a slight red flush mlntled the neck
and cheeks of the speaker, In striking
contrast to the cool, calm dignity dis
played in every movement of the half
reclining figure in the big plush chair.
The fact is" he went on, mastering
up courage, the first embarrassment
giving place to little more self con-
tdence, II have come to ask you some
thing never expected would pass my
lips, especially after the last sum l
borrowed from you. Darling, will you

nuttered Side I'm.

One of the stories which Levi Hutch
ins. the old time clockmaker of Con-
cord. N. H., delighted TO tell related to
the youth Of Daniel Webster.
"One day." said the old man, "while
I was taking breakfast Mt the tavern
kept by Daniels father. Daniel and his
brother Ezekiel, who were little boys
with dirty faces and snarly hair, came
to the table and asked me for bread
and butter.
II complied with their request, little
thinking that they would become very
distinguished men. Daniel dropped
his piece of bread on the sandy floor,
and the buttered side of course was
down. lie looked at 1t moment, then
picked 1t up aud showed it to me, say
ing:
"'What pity! Please give me n
piece of bread buttercd on both sides;
then IL I let 1t fall one of the buttered
sides will be up.'"
