eral weeks on the north section, was
badly injured last Monday evening
while the crew was returning from
Peever. The accident, as near as we
can learn, was caused by the old gen.
tleman's leaning over to replace a
water keg that had moved, and los.
ing his balance fell under the car
which was moving along at q fair
speed. The car with six men, tools,
etc., passed partly over him breaking
his collar bone, q couple of ribs and
otherwise injuring him. He is in a
serious condition and the doctors
do not hold much hopes for his recov.

DOOR ALARM.

Travelling statesmen especially do not
always find locks on the doors of the
rooms to which they are assigned, and
the small portable alarm bell shown
here would be Invaluable in such in
stances 1t can be used temporarily
or permanently, and can be convenient
ly carried in travelling bag. 1t can be
attached in an instants time to the
shank of the door knob, the parts being
so combined and arranged that oscil-
lation of the door knob in either direc-
ton will cause the bell to ring. The
bell is Of the ordinary bicycle bell pat
tern, and is operated in a novel way
by push pin, the releasing Of a spring
ringing the bell. The bell is supported
on a strip of metal, at the end Of
which is a clamp, the latter fitting on
the handle of door knob. Sliding on
this strip Of metal is a corresponding
strip, having at the top the pushpin,
the head Of the clamp engaging with
the lower end of the sliding strip.
The device is first clamped to the
door knob, and as soon as the latter
is oscilIated in .either direction the
knob and clamp forces the sliding strip
upward, releasing the spring operating
the bell. If'a spring bell is used the
bell will, of course, continue to ring
until the spring is run down or until
the knob is returned to its normal posi-
ton. --Philadelphia Record.

SHOCKED BY Rie Guns.

The War Department continues to
receive appeals for relief from per-
sons who live in the Immediate vicin-
ity of the coast forts. They complain
that the peace and quiet of their habl-
tations are disturbed, and that the
shock or jar that attends the firing of
the big guns contributes to the dis
comfort of the neighbo-s of the coast
defense works. The War Department
always takes these complaints under
advisement, and submits them to the
artillery officer locally interested. In
every case it has been shown that the
complaints have come from people who
have taken advantage Of the bargains
offered in real estate located close upr.
on coast forts. They get the land
cheap because it is within the zone Of
sensation, SO to speak, Of the big guns
when they are fred. The guns must
be kept In practice, and there must be
firing at the targets at periods pre-
scribed by the War Department au-
thorities, and complaints make no diff
ference in the scheme Of maintaining
the efficiency Of artillery fire.

Imitation .IewaIrx

Never have l known such craze
for imitation jewelry as now was the
remark Of the manager of one of the
big department stores, and it only
needs a glance to see that in a store
where the crowds are greatest the imi-
tation jewelry lies.
1--WE can't supply the demand went
on the manager, land l know it is the
case not alone with us, but even more
so with those firms who make a spe-
cialty of selling it alone.
Jewellers who have for years been
in the business have told me that their
trade has suffered greatly from this
cause. Such art and skill have entered
into its manufacture that in many
cases 1t can't be told from the real, and
very frequently women who can afford
better things purchase the cheaper sort
when some article is seen to be pass
ing fad. That many Of the wealthy
women in society have duplicates of
their handsome jewelry we all know"

parent. If tiny spots can be detected,
it is not newly laid, but may be very
good for all ordinary purposes except
boiling soft. If there is a large spot
near the shell, it is bad, and should not
be used on any account.
The white of a newly laid egg boiled
soft is like milk; that Of an egg a day
old, is like rice boiled in milk; and that
of an old egg, compact, tough and diff.
ficult to digest. A cook ought not to-
give eggs two or three days old to
people who really care for fresh eggs,
under the delusion that they will not
find any difference; for an amateur
will find it out in a moment, not only
by the appearance, but also by the
taste.

We have decided that "booze and

SPELL If this doesn't work well we
may decide to cut out business and
try booze. This decision was reached
after a very forcible argument with
our devoted spouse, who warned us in
no uncertain language that we would
be using some Of that hair restorer on
our topmost point unless we wiped it
off our list altogether. AS 1t would be
a sin to waste the precious fluid in

per consists Of a file, which is made in
conjunction with holder, the device

the sharpeners the point of the blade
Of the scissors is forced into a conven-

operator can exert considerable press
