A STRIKE THREATENED
By Norfolk aud Western Machinists
for Extra Pay for Extra Work.

Roanoke, Va, IA strike among the
machinists Of the Norfolk and Western
railway shops at Bluefield. w. Va. has
been threatened for some time. The men
demand extra pay for Sunday and night
work.
Yesterday the railway officials asked
the machinists for foIty-eight hours in
which to consider their claim and to
send a committee to Roanoke to con-
fer with the general offices.
The committee today had a confer
ence with superintendent OF Motive
Power Lewis, who had instructions
from General Manager Johnson TO do
all he could for the men.
It is not known how MANY men would
be affected by a strike. The m~achinists
number forty. but all other depart
ments are thoroughly ~unioniZed and
may also go out. 1t is not yet known
whether or not the settlement by the
officials is satisfactory to the ma
chinists.

Better Than PILLS

The question has been asked. In
what way are Chamberlain's Stomach
& Liver Tablets superior to pills."
Our answer is: They. are easier and
more pleasant to take, more mild and
gentle in effect and more reliable as
they can always be depended upon.
Then they cleanse and irvigorate the
stomach and leave the bowels in a
natural condition. while pills are more
harsh in effect and their use is often
followed by constipation. For sale by

Rational Care of clothes.

Air your clothes after taking them
off and before putting them away. Let
the bodice of dress hang over the
back of n chair to air for at least half
an hour before you put it away, but
if possible keep it out some time
longer. Children should be taught to
turn their stockings inside out at
night and to hang them over a chair.
Body linen should be treated in the
same manner, not folded up in the
neat little heaps that our grandmoth-
ers used to insist upon, for the lat
ter, though tidier-looking, are by no
means sanitary. Air is great puri-
fer, and clothes through which it is
allowed to circulate freely will be kept
from that stuffy, musty smell which
characterizes garments that are fold
ed and put away directly they have
been worn.-Chicago Daily News.

of modern times, her popularity be-
ing said to exceed that of even that
much sung queen, Carmen Sylvia.
Marie Amelia is possessed of a
character as remarkable for it's low
able positive qualities as that of her
royal spouse is for its disagreeable neg
ative traits. She is woman of strong
character and high intellectual pow
er, generous, quick witted, far-see-
ing. She is close student of hu-
man nature, or, rather, has an intu-
tive perception of it; she is a sci-
enlist of high standing, is a grad
uate in medicine and an expert
upon matters of hospital nursing and
sanitary cooking. The fact is, Queen
Marie Amelia is a most extraor-
dinary woman. Her distinction of
being the only royal NJ. ID. in the
world is but one of her many unusual
attractions. Although a devotee of
quiet domesticity and n model wife
and mother, she is thoroughly mod
ern in her beliefs, and has the cour-
age necessary TO reduce these beliefs
to actions. She is an exponent of
common sense in the matter of dress,
and has succeeded in elevating pub
lie opinion in Portugal to that height
where tight lacing is considered low
taste, questionable and immoral.
With all this she is artistic, and has
the reputation of being one of the
most tastefully gowned princesses in
Europe.
Queen Marie Amelia is generous to
n fault. She not only refuses to ac-
cept from the government one cent
of the princely allowance made her
each year, but she spends more than
three-sourths of her magnificent for
tune Inherited from her father and
his family, in charities and humani-
ties for the poor of her realm, which
charities are as original and inter-
esting as is their royal author. They
include among other things experi-
mental stations for the production
of the serum of diphtheria, from
which dread disease Portugal suf-
fers more than any other country
of Europe; a model sanitary bakery
for the poor; hospital and free dis
pensary for stricken women. The
queen who is an authority on these
subjects, is a personal and intimate
friend of Florence Nightingale, to
whom she has paid several visits, and
with whose ideas she is in full ac-
cord. In fact, it may be partly due
to this influence that the queen has
made efforts so persistent and so
we'll directed that the hospitals and
charitable institutions of otherwise
decadent Portugal are in so flourish
ing condition.
Adored by her own people, be-
loved of English society, worshiped
in Paris, Queen Marie Amelia is one
of the handsomest, wisest, most low
able and noblest queens of Christen-
dom. If sovereign's possession of
these virtues may constitute the
safety of people, Portugal need
have no fear for the present.

at the top and set into or spiked to
the plates Half to two-thirds of the
middle of the ridge is cut out, leaving
an opening to inches wide, which is
covered by a cap raised several inches
from the roof, to permit of ventilation,
but wide enough to prevent rain get
ting in.
The doors are made of single thick
ness of boards; care should, however,
be taken to have them tight, so as not
to permit of circulation of air. To
make them more effective, the space
between the door and the boards
placed on the inside of the door frame,
to prevent sawdust or other packing
material used from falling out can be
padded with straw, when the house is
filed. The accompanying figure rep
resents this house and gives good
idea of its method of construction.
The expense of constructing the build
ing above described will depend large
ly on the cost of material, but should
not exceed S25. Often there are waste
timbers or boards about the farm
which can be made to answer very
well. To protect the house from the
beating rays of the sun, it is best built
under the shade of large tree or on
the north side of some larger building.
Its effectiveness in keeping ice will
thus be greatly ncreased.-Orange

DRIVES BIG OSTRICH.
Newest Sensation mt sarptogn Was
Furnished by Wife of n New
York Contractor.

AS at Newport, the pretty women
at Saratoga are racking their minds
in search of fads that may divert
their friends and help to pass the
time.
Nobody in Saratoga is likely to
give monkey dinner and the fish
suppecs at the lake are not suscep-
tible of elaborate variation, but
novelties in driving rigs have ap-
peared on Broadway that overshad-
ow anything ever seen on Bellevue
avenue, Newport.
The three horses abreast, driven by
Mrs. Rarnes-Allin, have created
sensation such as Saratoga has not
p known for many years. William c.
Whitney's double team of chestnuts
is superior to anything seen on the
Lake road since the days of the elder
Nanderbilts.
In the search for a special sensa-
tion pretty woman has hit upon an
idea that for the moment outshipes
mere hcrsehesh. Mrs. c. 4. Barthol-
omea, wife of large railway con-
tractor in New York, and near rel
utive OF Admiral Dewey, has taken
advantage of the presence in Sarato-
ga in summer of an ostrich farmer
from Jacksonville, Fla, to secure one
of the trained birds for driving to a
light blue pneumatic tire wagon.
The ostrich, most thoroughly brok-
en- to harness, is named Oliver W.,
and is a splendid male bird, standing
over nine feet in height. Four years
of infinite patience on the part of
trainer, Mr.. Campbell, were required
to render the bird tractablc.
"The skull of the animal is so small
in proportion to his body that he has
almost no brains," explained Trainer
Campbell. The rig was already har-
messed. The ostrich stood, quite do
cile, with hood over his head. That
is the device for hitching the great
birds. AS long as they cannot see
they confidently believe themselves
invisible. A brass band or a score
of painting automobiles will not
cause them to move n muscle.
The pretty woman mounted to her
eeat behind the strange two-legged
"steed" and, when she had gathered

SMALL FARM ICE HOUSE.
One Like That shown in the Picture
Can lie Erected for Twenty-Five
Dollars or Less.

In constructing an ice house it
should be remembered that the smaller
the house the greater the care to be
exercised in erecting the building and
packing the ice. A house 12 feet square
and to 10 feet high is very conven-
lent size for an ordinary farm. In
building, care should be taken to Sc
cure perfect drainage. The founda-
tion should be dug 1s to "a inches, or
until gravel is reached. Where this
is not possible, the lower feet should
be filled in with large stones, on top
of which are placed smaller stones

QUEEN MARIE AMELIA.
Is Beloved by Every stratum
of Society.

There is no more captivating fig
ure on the thrones of all Europe than
is Marie Amelia, queen of Portugs..
The queen is the. Oldest daughter of
the French pretender, the duke of
Orleans, and was born in England in
one of the many years when her ia
theirs residence was at the country
seat, Twiclsenham, during his long
exile from France. In 1886, through
the influence of that royal match
maker, Victoria, Marie Amelia was
married to Don Carlos, the then heir
apparent to the throne of Portugal.
Three years later came his accession,
and Queen Marie Amelia entered upon
career which has made her the

Oliver w. swung his so inches of
supple neck and darted down the
road with n stride that would have
put any trotter to shame. His rec
ord, as driven by Trainer Campbell, is
2:o2, but of course no such speed was
possible on n country road.
Mrs. Charles A. Bartholomew wore
n handsome French gown, in which
she attended the races at the conclu-
sion of her ostrich drive. After she
had dismounted from the carriage
she said:
''It is the most interesting expert
ence imaginable to anybody who is
used ~ driving horses. A taut rein
is impossible. 1 could convert the os-
a strong pull on both lines; but the
touch must be sympathetic and the
bird acts as by your will rather than
his own. Mr.. Campbell, as you know
says the big birds have no sense, but
they ere more readily directed than
horses. A mere touch of the right
rein will cause the bird to swerve in
that direction. 1t is unnecessary tc
say that inattention might be fol
lowed by n serious upset.
"If e proper binder can be invent
ed the ostrich will become perfectly
safe to drive to light wagon on any
road. They never can be useful fol
drawing heavy loads"

Every once in while a creamery
company sinks a tubular we'll to carry
off the waste water, but in no case so
far as we have heard has such well
given satisfaction, and in most cases
the waste water contaminated the
water in the well used for the cream
cry, and in two cases caused serious
trouble, says the Dairy Record. One
creamery, after running the waste
water in such n well some distance
from the creamery, was compelled to
draw water from a neighbor for two
months, and the pump in the creamery
was kept going day and night during
that time before the water could be
used again. Their experiment should
suffice for others, but still others try
the same scheme, usually to their sor
row.

Food for Nervous PERSONS.

pie, as nutritious juices go' into, the
brine to great extent. Fish of all
kinds is good for them. Raw eggs,
contrary to the common opinion, are
not as digestible as those that have
been we'll cooked. Good bread, sweet
butter and lean meat are the best
food for the nerves. People troubled
with insomnia and nervous starting
from sleep, and sensations of falling,
can often be cured by limiting them
selves. to diet of milk alone for n
time. An adult should take pint at
a meal and take four meals daily.
People with weakened nerves require
frequently a larger quantity of wa
ter than those whose nerves and brains
are strong. 1t aids the digestion of
these by making IT soluble, and seems
to have direct tonic effect--Science

She was Plymouth Rock, and long
