What gave promise for a few minutes
OF developing into very serious wreck,
happily resulted in nothing more serious
than good big scare TO the passengers on
the Monday morning train north on the
Pennsy. a short distance below Hickory
station. A freight wreck the day before
had blocked the track at tho lower end Of
the switch and the trains were using the
switch IN ge ting around the blockade at
that point. The train had been making
good time over the nice stretch of track
Just below and when the engine took the
switch the rate Of speed was too much
for the cars, and, while the engine went
over safely, the baggage car jumped
the track, and in turn the smoker and
ladies' coach went OIL. Three or four eX
ira coaches, empty, had been attached to
the rear of the train and these seemed to
steady up the other cars so that they
were not uncoupled, but lurched from
one side to the other as they bumped
over the ties for distance of nearly 30
rods before being stopped. Not pas
senger was injured though the smoker
was filled and the day coach contained 25
or 80 people. But there were some
frightened persons who were not slow in
getting ont after the train came to a stand
still. Some 25 or more of the passengers
we're Tionesta people, and they FASTENED
TO phone their friends of their safety
when they reached Hickory. The train
was able TO proceed on its northward
Journey about three hours later.

Tionesta, Pa,

Dear Sir: You can paint your barn with
a good barn paint, ifyou like. Our agent
may not have it in stock, but wilt get it
we make IL.
What is good barn paint?
1t is paint that will wear well enough,
look well enough for a barn, and cost
about hall by the gallon.
How do you want your barn to look? is
the question. Anybody else's barn is
another matter, Your barn is your busi-
ness, your living, your profit You'd
be extravagant with it. Paint it as well
as a merchant or doctor or lawyer or
banker paints his house.
Better paint your barn Deyos lead and
zinc. 1t costs more gallon than barn
paint, but you use less gallons.

Pongee silk must be washed in tepid
lather; soap must never touch it, as it
makes it harsh; hang to drain without
wringing after being well rinsed, then

You can clean a shiny-looking black
silk most effectively by boiling old black
kid gloves in little water, and sponging
the liquid into the silk and pressing
quickly. Fuller's earth will help to
remove grease spots. Benzine will often
remove spots, but you must be careful
to rub toward the center of the spot and
not outward, or the clean material is
stained. To remove grease spot from
wooden or silk, thoroughly saturate the
place with turpentine, and place a soft
blotting paper beneath and another on
top of the spot, and press very hard.
The fat is dissolved then absorbed by
the paper, and entirely removed from
the cloth.
To wash crocheted or knit wool shawls
boil the water with soap to make good
lather, and cleanse by squeezing and
moving about, not rubbing. After
washing in this manner in two waters,
spread clean white cloth on the table,
and lift the article out on to the cloth,
and pass through the wringer as thickly
folded as it will allow. Then remove it
from the cloth, shake well and dry
quickly. The shawl will look like a
newly-worked one.

NOMAN'S COLUMN
EDITED BY MRS. Fl. NJ. BARTLETT

Some time ago lecturer before q
of today was suffering more from "the
barbarism of modern housekeeping"
than from her political status-that she
was more in need of pockets than of the
ballot l cannot but think that he
touched upon very significant point.
We women will never be emancipated
whatever that may mean-until we
are masters of our own households and,
would like to add, of ourselves. 1t
cannot be denied that at present we are
thoroughly involved in the tolls; ridden
from youth to age by the cares and
responsibilities of our homes. This
comes largely from the fact that we have
ideals, and naturally wish to live up to
them. We would like to keep house as
our grandmothers did, forgetting that
we lack their simplicity of environment
and probably their physique. We also
have desire to keep up as good an
appearance as our neighbor does. not
taking into consideration that our neigh
Dor has perhaps two dollars to spend to
our one. If we are to emancipate our
selves why not begin in our very homes
our daily life, and practice an independ-
ence that shall make it possible for us
to simplify our lives without the dread
of what our next-door neighbor is going
to say. How many women become
almost ridiculous because they feel
they must adopt the latest style in dress
because fashion has said that that was
the correct thing to wear, and irrespec-
tive OF the fact whether they are tall
and thin or short and fat, the same
cut is made to do for all. Every woman
has right to look as well as she can
indeed it is almost duty-but she can
do this without making herself conspic-
uous by being a slave to the prevailing
fashion.
Never was there time when SO many
pretty and simple devises existed for
woman's adornment. The various pretty
forms of neckwear which anyone with
skillful fingers can easily make for them
selves are in reach of almost everyone.
l once heard very attractive little
woman say that when she was all tired
out at the end of the day, she put on
pretty waist, or perhaps only bright
bow and she knew she looked better,
and that rested her. Some may say she
was given oyer to vanity, but think
she was right, for in doing this she made
her husband and her children feel the
influence of that little change, whereas
had she left on her "tired dress" the
family would soon have come under the
spell of her feelings.

1t is surprising how much woman
who is handy with her needle and good
at contriving can do with little money
in the way of clothing for herself and
family. If one is so fortunate as to
possess one or two gowns of good mate
rial and correct fit, she can add variety
to her wardrobe by the aid of few
yards of lace, embroidery, silk velvet
from which to make pretty plastrons,
cuffs and collars. or dainty yokes, fichus,
belts and girdles. These can all be
made of any harmonious color or mate.

School For The Natives.

Several articles have appeared in
the PRosrEcToR during the past few
months regarding the natives of
the Copper river country and now
it seems that they are to be given
aid and mission and school
started for them i'm the near future.
Rev. G. :. Clevenger. of Skagway
who has been here for some time,
is the representative of the Baptist
denomination and the general mis-
sionary for that church in Southern
Alaska. He has met several of
these natives in town and is great
ly interested in them. He will
endeavor to have his denomina-
tion establish a school and mission
for them at Copper Center. 1t is
his idea to get Il tract of land near
the Center and build school and
home for the children and ii pos
sible induce the natives to make
their homes in the settlement. ii
their children are there the parents
will naturally be near them as
much as possible.
They will be helped to build
homes in the settlement, taught how
to take care of them, how to raise
vegetables and cattle and every
thing necessary to their self sup
port and be given an education
and taught to live good clean lives.
1t is intended to put in fish traps
and wheels to furnish what fish are
needed by the natives. During a
portion OF the winter they can be
sent to their hunting grounds to
hunt and trap. A man and wife
will lie employed to care for the
children and teacher will be Sc
