Miraculous Escape.

While cleaning out a well seventy
five feet beneath the surface, William
Moseley, c0lored, met with a narrow
escape from death. A half-barrel, con-
tanning about 20 gallons Of water broke
loose and fell, striking Moseley square
on the top Of his head. The negro
was not knocked senseless by the fear
ful contact and retained strength suili-
cient to hold on to the end of a rope
and was drawn to the surface. Exam
ination revealed that his collar bone
had been broken in three places, but
there was no scar on Williams head.

The following bills against the town
were ordered to be certifi to the treas


Mr.. Wicker presented a request from
the Normal School authorities to run
a sewerage pipe from their new build
ing across High street, to enter the
schools present sewer running down
Randolph street to the Appomattox
river.
Major Martin said he knew the Farm
vile Drainage and Power Company
didn't invest its money in the sewerage
plant Of the town for nothing, and sure
as any one attempted to lay sewer
across a street there would be trouble.
Mr.. Wicker expressed it as his opin-
ion that the school yet retained the
privilege Of making connections with
their existing sewer by virtue Of the
original right granted some years ago
by the council.
Mr.. Wall was perfectly willing that
the request be granted the school, pro-
vided the town is guaranteed against
any legal proceedings which might
accrue therefrOm.
Mr.. Wicker took occasion to say that
it was unfortunate that any member
of the council should be connected with
franchises given 10y the town, and the
following motion made by Mr. Wall
was carried "PermissiOn is granted
the Normal School to run sewer ac-
cross High street, to connect with its
present line provided the school at it,
own expense, will furnish the town
with satisfactory legal authority, in
writing, that the laying Of the sewer
will not conflict with the franchise held |
by the Farmville Drainage and Power
company, and that the town be reliev-
ed Of all responsibility
On motion of DIR. Anderson, the
postpOnement Of the Farmvlle, Char.
lOtte and James River Valley Railroad
which was slated for the 18th
inst, was agreed to and August 18th
the time set for determining whether the
town shall appropriate $4,000 to the
Of this road The council by
motion requires the railroad to de-
post S25 90 to meet necessary expenses
IF this election.
On motion Of Major Martin, the Opera
House committee was instructed to
have the Council chamber side
walls ceiled and the entire inside
painted and freshened up.
Mr.. Wicker, who is both chairman
md superintendent Of the light plant,
gave notice that before the coming |
winter is over, the town will be called
lpon for new engine and another arc

LAUNDRY LINES.

In doing UP fine lace do not use any
starch, but in the last rinsing water
dissolve little fine white sugar.
Boiled starch is much improved by
the addition u little sperm or little
salt or little gum arabic dissolved.
To take ink out of linen, dip the ink
spot in pure melted tallow; then wash
out the tauow, and the ink will come
with it.
Always remove colOred clothes from
the line as soon as they have become
dry, for exposure to the sunshine is
almost sure to fade them.
1t is all important to retain the heat
in an iron while using. For this reason
the ordinary stand is not good. Try
clean, white brick and see how much
longer your iron will stay hot.
Always have the top of the range
perfectly clean before putting the irons
ON, and never allow them to get too
hot. If such thing does happen,
cool them by setting up on end on the
hearth.
There are ironing gas stoves for the
laundry in which the burners are long
instead of circular and the irons slip
inside of cast iron frames with the
handles out. These stoves come in
different sizes, with from one to FIVE
burners.

How One Mother Managed.

"Why do you always dress your two
daughters alike?" queried a society
woman of friend. at must be a
great deal of trouble, and, as they are
not twins, it is not necessary"
Well" answered the other quite
frankly, "it is because of the effect
My girls are rather ordinary looking
not plain; in fact, rather pretty,
think, and with fairly good figures, but
quite unnoticeable in their appearance.
If one We're in brown and the other in
blue on the street, no one would ever
give them a second glance, but dressed
alike they look really distinguished.
ut is the same in ballroom. When
they go in together in pretty, fresh
gowns. they accentuate each other so
to speak, and the simplest toilet be-
comes striking. A pink bow by itself
is a pink bow and nothing else, but
two pink bows become Immediately an
arrangement.
You see that idea eXemplified on
the stage in a ballet 1t is the repeti-
ton of dress that gives the effect If
the dancers were in different costumes,
it would be lost completely. OF course,
as you say. it is a bother to have
everything to match, and when one
frock is ruined that renders the other
useless too. Still | think it pays."-
Philadelphia Ledger.
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1902-08-08

Try making your iron holder this
way if you don't want your hand to
get dry and heated on ironing day:
Cut from the upper part of an old boot
a piece of leather the size you wish
the holder to be. Cut piece of brown
paper and two pieces of flannel or
cloth the same size, says Home Chat
Then cover the holder in the ordinary
way except that on the top two thick
nesses of material should be put in
stead of one. Sew all round the edge;
then slit the top upper covering across
the center and bind the edge of the
slit. This forms a pocket on each side,
into which ones thumb and fingers are
slipped.

Service Plates.

Service plates are put at each place
and remain usually under whatever
dish may be used for the preliminary
courses until the first hot course. For
example, the oyster or clam plate rests
on the service plate, and when it is re-
moved the bouillon or soup plate takes
its place. With the hot fish course the
waitress removes the service plate and
substitutes the filled plate She places
the service plate on a side table. The
plates should not be in pile before the
carver, but the waitress takes a hot
plate from the side table or buffet and
places it before the carver. One of the
newest fads is to have service plates
of silver or rare china. which are placed
on the table at the beginning of the
dinner and remain on until dessert In
case you possess some extra rare or
pretty plates this is an excellent way
to show them off. 1t is also fad to
have the service plates harmonic in
color with the floral decorations.

4 Practical Suggestion.

Every girl on a small dress allow
ance should take lessons in dressmak-
ing and millinery and learn these two
branches thoroughly, not with view
10 starting shop, but in order to be
able to tie bow with some suggestion
of llghtness and TO be able TO make
her own blouses. petticoats and under
garments from really good patterns
This will not only furnish you with
employment, but will be great saving
In your dress expenditure, and you will
have the satisfaction of being as well
turned out as your richer cousins. Such
a knowledge will never come amiss
You will learn by experience what
lines and curves best suit your figure,
but always remember that taste, with
out experience. is not worth much in
the world of dress.

Advice From a Trained Nurse.

at is well known that the skin is a
great absorbent, and nutrition even
can be conveyed through its agency"
says a trained nurse. "a physician
once ordered a beef tea bath for a
baby ! was nursing who was appar-
emily dying of some eXhausting bowel
trouble, and with admirable effect.
And | myself have found that rubbing
delicate persons with warm olive oil is
an excellent tonic. If | had charge of
Il puny. sickly baby, l should feel in
clined to give it oil baths instead of
water baths and try the effect The
oil is quite as cleansing, and it stands
to reason that such tiny beings, par
ticularly if they are badly nourished,
should not have the natural oil of the
body continually washed away"

DRESS HINTS

A woman is not well dressed IL she
has a hole in her stocking.
A blond may wear pure white with
advantage, but the brunette nearly
always looks better In cream colored
fabrics.
To remove grease from cloth sponge
1t with solution Of salt in alcohol
The right proportion is one teaspoon
full of salt to four of alcohol.
If an ecru tinge be desired in lace,
place powdered saffron In water and
allow the lace to lie in 1t, increasing
the strength until the desired tint is
obtained.
A piece of inch wide white satin rib
bon sewed inside the neckband of a
bodice protects the throat from the de-
facing mark that is a common result
Of wearing high dress collars. Sew 1t
In so that 1t will not show at all on
the article.
Always iron coat collars and cuffs
that are to have several rows of stitch
Ing round the edge before putting them
in the machine and again after the
stitching is done and put skirts into
the band and see that they are the
right length all round before finishing
off the bottom hem.
