Nothing heals the Affections of chapped
hands and lips more quickly than cocoa
butter. For 10 cents one can get a
cake of cocoa butter which will last for
months. One pleasing feature about
this is the fact that it has delicate
odor which is pleasant and quite diff
ferent from any of the vaSeline RENE
dies. For children's chapped hands
cocoa butter is recommended far and
near because of its quick work in heal
ing the most delicate flesh.

If sending flowers a great distance it
is said to put the tip of each stem into
melted spermaccti or candle drippinss.
Large flowers should be dipped singly,
tho punches can be dipped together.
They will arrive at their destination in

then be clipped and the flowers placed

INVENTION MAY
PREVENT DEATH
ON THE WATER

George j. Schantz, Of 1872 Rector
street. has secured a patent on an in
vention which is destined TO prove a
factor in saving lives and
cutting down the expense of boating
1t is new and useful pump valve.
by means of which it will be possible
for boatman to make repairs him
self in case of trouble with the valve
of a pump.
II is made OF brass and is in two
parts, which are screwed together.
These valves will be made at Schantz
& Eckert's shops and the inventor
already has number Of orders in
view
With the ordinary pump, any trou-
bic in the valve necessitates taking
it to plumber for repairs but, with
Mr.. Schantz's invention, it will, in
nearly every case, be possible to make
repairs on the spot. In the case of a
leaking boat, this might be the means
OF saving the lives of the occupants.
and some of the catastrophes that
have occurred on our own bay might
thus have been averted If the rub
Der wears out while the owner OF a
boat is on the water, he could, with
Mr.. Schantz's valve, replace il with
either a piece of cloth or leather, if
he did not have an extra piece of
rubber along. The latter will be sold
for few cents and the valves can
be made to sell as cheaply as SIPS.

Diver, Watched By Curious Crowd,
Locates Reel Of Wire On Bottom

over eighteen years. After only a
little trouble he located the reel of
copper, and a chain attached to the
steam lighter Steven V. Craven was
then sent down to him, and was made
fast.
The signal to hoist had been given,
and the captain of the Craven began
to haul in on the chair, when one of
the wires broke and it was necessary
for the diver to come to the surface
while the chain was being put in
order again.
After the chain had been repaired,
the work of hoisting the reel was
started, and after short time it was
hoisted to the dock, where it was
placed in a wagon and taken to the
cable works on Washington street.
A number of people watched the
diver while he was at work.
