HIGH WATERS DOING DAMAGE.
River Rises at the Rate OF Il Foot An
Hour at WilliamspOrt.

The Potomac river and its tribu-
taries and all small streams i'll this
section are in flood, as the result of
unusual heavy rains that have fallen
during the last two days. Owing to
the ground being frozen nearly the
full volume of water that fell ran
into the streams, being augmented by
the melting snow of the mountains.
The Potomac river rose at the rate
Of foot to the hour yesterday and
last night at Williamsport, and is now
10 feet above normal, with. a slight
rise still perceptible. The Cononchea-
que creek is bankful and at low places
has overflowed its banks, the flood do
ing some damage to fencing. Several
roads are inundated along the stream
The Antietam creek Is also swollen.
Much damage has been done by the
high waters along th upper portions
Of these two creeks, and property
owners along the banks in Franklin
county have sustained considerable
loss. For December flood along the
streams named this one breaks the
record.

IN LIFE's BRIEF SPAN.
Experiences, Joys and Sorrows Of the
Human Existence.

The loves and friendships OF indi.
viduals partake of the frail character
Of human life. and are brief and I'M
certain. The experience Of a human
life may be shortly summed up: A
little loving and good deal Of sor.
rowing; some bright hopes and many
bitter disappointments; some gor-
geous Thursdays when the skies are
bright and the heavens blue, when
Providence, bending over US in bless
ings, glads the heart almost to mad.
ness; many dismal Fridays, when the
smoke Of torment beclouds the mind
and undying sorrows gnaw upon the
heart; some high ambitions and many
Waterloo defeats, until the heart be-
comes like q charnel house filled with
dead affections, embalmed in holy
but sorrowful memories; and then
the chord is loosed. the golden bowl
is broken, the individual life-a cloud,
a vapor, passes away.-Matthew Hale
Carpenter.

SKIRTS Foa WINTER.
New Garments are Made In Three Or
Four Ways.

Skirts are made in one of three or
four different ways. But just for the
moment, the favorite Is the plated
straight skirt. But 1t all depends upon
the material after all and the fancy
plated skirt with the plaits set in be.
low the hips is model that is much
worn.
Where materials will permit the ruff.
ned skirt is popular. and the skirt,
consisting of two deep ruffles. each
one-half the depth of the spirit, is
selected as the model In soft silks and
poplins.
The seven gored empire skirt is one
OF the best models. This Is a plain
walking skirt. 1t is fitted around the
hips. but spreads widely below. 1t is
made without ornamentation of any
kind. but is finished with two or three
plain bands around the foot These
bands are OF velvet, sewed upon the
upper edge only. SO as to set out we'll
and make pretty finish for the skirt.
The five gored skirt is also one OF
the popular designs. but 1t needs to
be trimmed, and the wide. handsome
SANSA VI HSoNy idCc dTOuNu tuc DOt-
tom is favorite way of trimming this
style Of skirt. Still another popular
method is that Of applying a RUNE
about foot wide, with a heading of
lace. or with piping Of silk, or some
nat velvet bands.
The killed skirt is much in evidence.
and there are skirts that are made
with the plaits turning back sharply
from the front. They are wide and so
arranged as to leave a very broad
front panel. which is ornamented in
some manner. This wide front panel
may be trimmed with lace or with
a braided design.
The use OF lace upon winter skirts
may seem a questionable stretch OF
appropriateness. yet when one sees
the beautiful winter gowns that are
trimmed with lacy materials one is
forced to change ones mind as to the
use Of lace on winter gowns Many Of
the handsomest winter costumes are
trimmed with flmy materials. Lace

Which Of these people are right
Il 1t moro proper to call Peruna q ca

Our reply Is, that Peruna is both
tonic and catarrh remedy. Indeed,
there can DO no effectual catarrh rem

In order to thoroughly relieve any
case Of catarrh, remedy must not
only have specific action on tho mu-

action on the nervous system.
