sured that this February is an exceptional
month on the Atlantic Coast of the United
States. They ought not TO go back to Europe
with the impression that the weather from
which they have suffered since the Hohenzollern
came inside of Sandy Hook is fair average for
the final month of New-York winter. They

Her0iSm of a Younq Man.

John Slattery performed an act of
heroism at Port Carbon, his place of
residence, which has been seldom sur
passed in Schuylkil county. Joseph
Hogan, II years old, while collecting
driftwood where the Mill creek and the
Schuylkill river join, fell into the turbu-
lent stream and was carried full half
mile down toward a dangerous waterfall.
Slattery, who was close at hand, without
moments hesitation, plunged into the
1oaming waters and after a long swim
recovered the boy just in the nick of
time, both rescuer and rescued reaching
shore in thoroughly exhausted condi-
tion.
Young Hogan was unconscious for
two hours. Had it not been for Slat-
tery's remarkable strength both must
have drowned.
In acknowledgment OF his brave deed
the mother of the boy, Mrs. Annie Ho-
gan, rendered him check for $50.
which he declined She then presented
him with a magnificent gold watch.

School Board MEETING.

A special meeting of the borough
school board was held Wednesday even
Ing with Directors Bell, Brogan, Buck
ley, Isaac, Kelly, Kline, McCoe, Shell
hamer and Slattery present. A lengthy
discussion on the finances Of the district
resulted in the appointment of com
mittee consisting of Slattery, Isaac and
McCole, who were authorized to
negotiate loan OF s., 900 at the best
possible terms, the money to be used for
the payment Of teachers salaries.
The following bills were read and
ordered paid; A. b. Dick Company,
96c; l.. IL. Lentz, s32. G5; DR.. F. Schil-
cher, S4.75; w. L. Martin. sl2 o5.
The accounts of ex-Tax Collector
Daniel Kline were then taken up and
considered. With few exceptions all
the generations were allowed and
these, with the abatements, money paid
to treasurer and commission, reduced
the excollector's Indebtedness to the
district to Sos 20.

Dainty Household Linen.

Good materials are the first requisites
in obtaining satisfactory results in the
making of household linens. A French
working cotton should be used for the
fancy work, and the white linen
grounds should be of the best quality,
as it always pays in the end in this
work to get the best.
The first essential to the correctness
of all embroidery is the direction of the
stitches. This is the foundation of tech
mic IN embroidery, and in some kinds
of work it is very complicated ques-
ton, but as applied to French white
work it is very definite and unmis-
taxable principle even to amateurs

French composer was using his inf1u-
ence with the directors to prevent her
debut and in favor of another singer.
In the midst of this distressing situa-
ton she received an offer from the Op-
era. What should she do? Here was
an offer that would at once start her
on her career. Yet she was bound by
contract to Paravey of the Comique.
She asked him for release, but the
singer for whom intrigue had secured a
debut had utterly failed, and the young
American was told that now she was
to have her chance. The opening of the
exposition was approaching, and the
manager thought that by having the
only American singer would be feath-
er in his cap. She insisted that she
wished to be released. He was obdu
rate. Finally at meeting of the di-
rectors she walked into the cabinet and
said. "Now l want to know if you will
let me Off"
I'VE are paying you for not singing"
was the reply.
Il am not going to leave this room
until you have sent for my contract
and torn it up before my eyes"
"This is not the time. Come back to
morrow"
Il am not coming back, for | am not
going until you have done what I've
asked you to do"
AS result of her stand, American
pluck versus French perversity, her
contract was sent for and torn up in
the directors meeting. The next morn
ing Paravey read the announcement
that she was engaged for the Opera,
and he was furious.-Gustav Kobbe in
Womans Home Companion.

Marking The Towels.

A housekeepr has hit upon the idea
of embroidering on towels with dark
blue or red thread the outlines of vari-
Gus utensils, such as tumblers, cup
and saucer, frying pan or saucepan,
for the purpose of conveying by object
lesson the separate use for which each
towel is designed. lone of the things"
says this housekeeper, that I could
not impress upon the various girls who
served in my kitchen was which towel
was to be used for certain dishes. They
wiped my cut glass with heavy crash
towel and the frying pan with a towel
designed for glass. Since l have put
emblems on each of the towels l have
had no further trouble"

How the Baby Should Sleep.

Sound, restful sleep, both by night
and by day, is more easily induced if
from the first the child be taught to lie
on it's stomach and face. The only nee
essary precaution against suffocation
is the provision of n smooth, fiat, some
what hard hair mattress without II pill
low. The advantages of this position
are many. Some one has said that half
the diseases of infancy result from
keeping the stomach too cold and the
other half from overheating the spine.
By adopting the position suggested as
the uniform one during the hours of
sleep the stomach and abdomen are
kept so warm as to prevent collie and
stamach ache and materially to aid the
digestive process, while the spine and
back of the head are no longer over
heated by the increased temperature of
the sleeping child. 1t may be a coinci-
dence merely, but it is at least signifi-
cant one, that all the children the writ
er has known to rest habitually face
downward have been unusually sound
sleepers and have enjoyed more than
average good health.
1t is surprising to see how early a
child will discriminate and show pref
erence for the face position and how
readily it accommodates itself to this
attitude. A child from eight to ten
weeks old will readily have learned to
turn its head from side to side to OBJ
tain the relief of a change of position.
A young baby on its back is as help
less as turtle in the same position.
Its one possible motion is the throwing
out of it's legs and arms, and each such
movement uncovers the child and eX-
poses it to drafts. Placed on its face,
a babe two or three months old will
not only rest itself by frequent changes
of the position of all portions of the
body; but, since it is powerless to re-
verse itself. it can not get uncovered
nor lapse into any unwholesome
cramped position. 1t is quite otherwise
when the infant is lying fiat on its
back. This position not only invites in
digestion, but 1t also causes bad dreams
and night frights and promotes the
dangerous habit of mouth breathing.

In the very same year. on the very same
day,
Two little babies were born!
One was a doggie, and one was girl;
One was named Prince, and one was nam
ed Pearl,
All on a New Years morn.
And in. one cradle the babies slept
All through the midwinter weather,
One on her pillow. dimpled and sweet,
And one curled up at the darling's feet
Prince and Pearl together.
But Prince grew fat, as doggies will,
Till he was large and strong.
With coal black coat that was curly
and fine,
And he learned to know right from
wrong.
And Prince would sit by baby Pearl,
Rocking her while she slept,
Gently, lightly to and fro,
And the mother was free to come and go.
For Prince true watch kept.
And he'd bear caresses from baby hands,
With never so much as a vince,
And Pearl on his back was secure from
harm,
For he'd carry her safely all over the
farm,
Darling. trusty old Prince.

Help For Suffering Children.

Few mothers realize the Importance
of the care of the throat and nostrils of
the growing child. Enlargement of the
tonsils and nasal distractions are COM
mon, and growths frequently exist
when their presence is entirely unsus-
pected. A German physician says that
these troubles, notably the latter, be-
coming chronic, are often the sole
cause of suffering. "This ailment,'
says the physician, "by stopping the
nasal channels and forcing children to
breathe through the mouth, actually
hinders the refreshing activity of
breathing and at the same time the
ability to speak and think. Often the
removal of these excrescences i'm
proves the attention, the memory and
the speech of children to the degree
that indicates their presence to have
been the chief cause of the defect"

Experience teaches that for actual
service and good wear in trimming the
white aprons, gowns and indeed all
garments to be laundered the torchon
and valenciennes insertions and edg-
ings are beyond question the cheapest
in the long run. Embroideries tear
quickly and are hard to mend. A fair
quality of torchon launders well and is
more easily replaced when worn out.
Try this trimming If you have not al
ready discovered it, and it will save in
many ways.
