The happiness of home life depends
largely OH the health of the wife and
mother. When her strength Is unequal
to the daily cares and duties of home.
the evening hour finds her utterly worn
out, too tired to talk, too weary to read.
At first even she Is glad to have her
husband 60 out for the evening. She
wants rest and quiet at any price. And
so the foundation for marital misery is
often laid in ill-health.
But when the housewife is healthy
and strong she finds In her days duties
only sufficient outlet for her energy.
She looks forward all day to the evening
hour spent with her husband over a
book. or passed i'll quiet conversation.
And every evening so spent draws the
wife nearer to the husband and knits
together the twain who are tone flesh "
in the higher unity of one mind.
Every woman should know that the
general health depends on the local
womanly health. frregularity, weaken
ing drains, inflammation, liberation and
female weakness are disorders which sap
the woman's strength and destroy her
happiness with her health.

About o'clock on Monday night
of this week the loud screams of two or
three women at and near the corner of
Union and Delevan streets brought
out a crowd of neighbors and passers-
by, when it was learned that the ser
want girl at George M. Holcombe's
residence had discovered a man crawl
ing over the roof of John Massey's
house adjoining. Her screams fright
ened the other inmates of the nearby
houses and they, too, joined in scream
ing. This frightened the fellow on the
roof and he sprang to the kitchen roof
below, thence to the ground and made
his escape. Mayor Sergeant, two poll.
icemen and few others made an in
vestigation, but did not succeed in
finding anything that would give n

B AS { BALL.

Preparations are being made by the
L. A. G management to present the
cleanest and fastest base ball ever yet
seen in this city. Work has already
begun on the grounds and by the time
for the opening everything will be in
first class shape.
The following players have been
signed and glance is sufficient to
show what kind of ball the patrons are
to expect:
Battery, Kline and Jakeman Gross,
of last seasons Cosmopolitans, 1st
base Helverson, I'd base Patterson,
short stop; Reynolds, Sd base and cap
tain. The outfelders have not as yet
been decided on, although several
strong candidates have been booke d
for the positions. 1t is certain that a
good outfield will be had, making al
together one of the swiftest combina-
tions ever seen in Lambertville uni
forms.
The season opens May no team
yet scheduled) and the first scheduled
game is with West Philadelphia, May
Q, on the home grounds. Games have
been arranged with the following
clubs, which are the strongest in the
two states: Manayunk. Highland,
Blacks Camden, Philadelphia Pro-
fessional, captained by Malcolm Mac
Donald, one of the old Lambertville
players, Norristown, Chester, Cos
mopolitans, Crescents, Morrisyille,
Hopewell and Doylestown.
The management intends to have
several mid-week games during the
summer to enable the business men
who are kept from Saturday games by
business n chance to attend. Strong
attractions will be secured and it is
hoped good attendance will result.
As the warm weather approaches
base ball is the sole topic of conversa-
tion, and if the interest is shown that
is to be expected, Lambertville should
have the greatest base ball year she
has ever had.

THEFT AND CONFESSION.
Loss of Money in o Bank Discovered
Through the Aid of q
Priest.

In one Of the downtown banks the
other day the balance sheet showed
$50 missing. That started trouble for
the whole institution. Until nearly
midnight the whole force was kept
busy searching for that half century,
but to no avail, reports the Pittsburg
Gazette. The search continued tho
next day and the next, but nowhere
could be. found trace Of the short
change. Finally it was given up, but
the matter was not allowed to rest
there. The loss was narrowed down to
three or four clerks, and their records
were thoroughly Investigated. Not .
trace of gambling or drinking was
found, but every man in the bank who
could have gotten his hands on the
money felt the finger of suspicion
pointing his way.
The situation was tense for nearly
week. Then one morning Catholic
clergyman called on the cashier. In
the confessional he had been told by
penitent that $50 too much money had
been paid him when cashing q check
at the bank.
This cleared the mystery, and it di !
more. The Investigation pending the
discovery had shown the management
OF the bank that it had the most thor
oughly regular and honorab BILE set of
employees it would be possible to ac-
cumulate-and now every man OF them
expects raise in salary.

TO FIGHT THE GOBLIN MOTH.
The Department of Agriculture VIII
Experiment with Birds I'm
California.

Now it is the birds that are to help
in the destruction of the Goblin moth
that little insect that is doing so
much harm to the apple orchards of
California. Down at jacksonville,
where the big orchards are, the or
astrological department of the Unit
ed States department. of agriculture,
under the supervision of DR.. E. l..
Beele, is working in conjunction with
Prof. C. w. Woodwork and Warren
Smith, of the University of California,
to exterminate the moth, and just now
they are installing lot of bird cages
as part of the work, says Berkeley
report.
These cages, Of which there are to
be IL, will be large enough to envelop
fruit tree. Into them it is purposed
to put 80 varieties of California birds,
including canaries. bluejays and lin
nets, and then to watch them closely to
discover upon what they feast most.
At certain times the birds will be
killed and their stomachs exclusively
scrutinfzed by the ornithologists. In
this way it can be determined &C.
curately what the proportion of fruit
the birds eat is to the insects they con-
sumo. And then from this it will be
determined what birds are most de-
structive to the Goblin moth and the
other destroyers of plant life.
It the experimenters are lucky
enough to find bird that makes the
Goblin moth its prey, that species will
be propagated in large numbers and
distributed over the state. It is
thought they can be kept in the or.
chards by attractive bats.

D1s11KHs THE MOTIF.
Woman's Hand II Ever Against tn
Destructive Insect-One House-
keepers Way.

There was quite q scene in q ear
the other day because q poor little
innocent moth few in, and every
woman present felt it her duty to
slap at it in . perfectly ladylike
manner that could compromise NO
one as it passed her, says the Balti
more News.
The hands Of the daughters of Eve
are NO more against the serpent than
they are against the moth. Let
woman see moth, and, no matter
where she is, whether in her own
house or in her neighbours, she tries
to kill it-furtiyely, if necessary;
openly and viciously if possible.
TO see large woman after small
and inoffensive moth fly Is one of the
things that men live for.
But, indeed, the ways Of the merry
moth are past finding out. They dis
like certain things and like certain
others for reasons that no mortal
can discover. Women adore fur, and
SO do moths. Men like tobacco and
moths loathe it. Almost everyone
hates moth balls, but the moth most
OF all. Camphor is supposed to be
dlsagreeable to fnicky Mrs. Moth,
but put your best sealskin away in IL
and the chances are that it will have
small place eaten in it before the
summer il over by some scientific
moth that has been inoculated
against camphor and then proceeds
on his nefariOus work.
Each housekeeper has a favorite
prescription to keep out these little
pests which she offers to all her
neighbors, who have prescriptions Of
their own, and, therefore, do not 90.

the subject are, however, UNIQUE.

But the wary housekeeper is not
