TRAIN FLOATS OFF TRACKS.
Two Coaches Become River Graf
Filled with Passengers

Two Coaches Become River Craft
Filled with Passengers.
Caught in the surging sea of waters
which inundated southwestern Wisconsin
recently, two coaches of a train on the
narrow gauge line between Fennimore and
Woodman were foated full quarter mile
from the tracks, while eighteen passen-
gers within hailed frantically to save
their lives. The engine had been uncou-
pied when the storm broke and run a
few hundred yards ahead. Six feet Of
water was then encountered and the en-
gineer and fireman forced to the roof of
the cab, where they spent the night. The
baggage car remained with the coaches
until the latter swung against telegraph
pole and came to rest. The baggage car
then tipped over and the three men in
side escaped by opening the door and
swimming out. They clambered on to the
roof, now the side of the car. and perch
ed there through the night. The waters
had risen ten inches above the level of the
window shades of the passenger coaches.
There was no leakage here. but the doors
admitted a flood which threatened all the
inmates. who set to work bailing with
the fire buckets, and Kept it up all
night.

When man is safely married.
You would like as not suppose
That, his troubles being over,
He has entered on repose.
But just then he hears his lovee, lovee
Murmur questions such as these:
Is my back hair flying. dearie?
Will you put my combs in. please?
Maybe he is in a hurry,
Rushing out to catch train,
When he's stopped by some one calling,
In voice that's full of pain,
Notwithstanding he is flying,
In the hottest kind of haste,
<'Will you kindly wait minute,
Dear, and button up my waistY'
Sometimes when he takes her walking,
Spick and span, and quite at ease,
In his newest suit and necktie,
Feeling happy as you please,
Stopping on a dusty crossing,
Where the breeze is busy, too.
She comes at him in this manner:
Won't you kindly tie my shoef'
Often when his thoughts are busy,
From his brilliant get-rich dream
He is rather rudely awakened
With a great and dazzling scheme,
BY his wife, who stands before him
In sad and soulful pose,
Saying, Tell me, tell me truly.
Is there powder on my nose?'

Potato bugs are like interest on a
mortgage-they work days and nights.
When the broods first begin to hatch 1t
is the time to act. The only remedy
practical and effective known at pres
ent is paris green. This is mixed with
water and scattered on the plants. The
spraying apparatus is too well known
to be described here.
To each barrel of water use seven
pounds of cheap -four and one pound
of paris green. Mix the poison and
-four in bucket containing about two
gallons of water and stir until thor
oughly mixed.
When the whole mixture Is thor
oughly mixed pour into the barrel of
water on the spraying machine and
keep the contents of the barrel well
stirred while the sprayer is in motion.
The only serious objection to this
mixture is that it tends to clog the
screens in the pump. This can be
avoided by having the screens so they
can be taken out and reinserted
quickly.
The screens can thus be taken out
and cleaned in a short time and the
spraying go on without further inter-
ruption. The operation may seem trou-
blesome at first, but onS spraying kills
all the bugs and it doesn't matter if It
rains within two hours after it Is ap-
piled.
Dew and rain will not wash it Off
and traces of 1t will remain for two
weeks and continue to destroy all new
hstchings OF insects.
The -four forms a paste that catches
all the particles of paris green and in
turn adheres to the plant leaves. In
Il field sprayed thoroughly In this way
a second operation is not necessary.
The pump may be put away and the
grower rest assured that he is through
for the season.
The sprayer should not be driven too
fast. but each plant be allowed to get
its full share of the poison. One bar.
rel of this mixture should be enough
to cover about two acres.

Curing Hiccoughs.

While severe cases of hiccoughs often
require the care of physician, there
are several simple cures that often give
relief.
The time-honored one is drinking q
glass of water slowly without taking
breath.
Another is having some one pounce
on you with sudden rapidity and scare
you TO death"
Holding the breath as long as posi-
bic is also good. especially if at the
time you clench the fists tight.
Strong essence of peppermint
dropped on a lump of sugar viii fire.

HenIth and Beauty.


Tight clothes and indigestion cause
red noses.
A salve made by stewing scraped
carrot in butter will cure erysipelas.
A tablespoonful of EPSON salts taken
in a glass of water will cure sick head
ache.
Witch hazel and rose water, half and
half, is good for wind tortured COM
plexions.
When the hands are sore and biist-
cred wash them in fresh buttermilk
and allow it to dry on the skin, as 1t
aids in whitening it.
Naphtha soap will sometimes remove
warts Wash your hands with it sew
eral times a day and rub little into
the places just before going to bed.
Stewed rhubarb has a well-known
medicinal value, besides being a COM
plexion beautifier; it is said to be valu-
able for rheumatic troubles.
An ointment made for insect bites is
composed of hartshorn, oil of .citronella
and camphor. This gives instant re-
lief. For aggravating bites poultice
of tea leaves is very good. Nothing
cures a bee sting more quickly than
wet soda.
Remember that nothing is more
soothing to the diphtheria patient than
ice cold pineapple juice. 1t contains
properties that cut the infiamed mem
brane from the throat and at the same
time heals the parts. Often in very Sc
we're cases it Is used with tincture Of
iron and il every case it gives almost
instant relief.

Tiny jeweled watches, set IN round
gilt balls, are still worn as pendants,
with delicate gold chains.
Painted parasols are again the fash
ion and spring blossoms the chosen de-
signs. One with sprays of exquisitely
tinted apple blossoms is especially ap-
propriate for a bridesmaid to carry,
as the delicate coloring will blend with
any color costume.
For lingerie hats, the nightcap va
riety is most popular. A simple circle
of all-over embroidery or net, gathered
round the edge and tied with a bow
of ribbon, the trimming being merely
a ruffle of lace. Sometimes this rib
bon is Of black velvet with long ends
hanging down the back. Other lin
gerie hats are made of pongee or tussor,
trimmed in as simple way as is found
to be becoming.
Louis purple is one Of the most at
tractive of the colors now offered for
summer wear and there are cream COL
ored ribbons lowered in the Louis pur-
pie and DuBarry pink. Pink, purple
and green make an attractive co1nbina-
ton for the woman who is getting up
Frenchy gown for smart coaching
wear this summer. Another fashion
able combination is brown, pink and
black, a trio much used by the dress
artists.
Shower bows for bridal lingerie are
made of narrow white satin ribbon and
are tiny enough to be easily mislaid.
Some of them have two loops and two
ends, others three loops and knot and
few five loops forming a star. More
white ribbon is used for bridal lingerie
than ever before. and fortunately much
of it is of quality to withstand laun-
dering, although large bows, such as
those used on negligees and elabora tely
trimmed petticoats, are supposed to be
removed before being sent to the laun-
dry.
All kinds OF devices are being used
to drag in long skirts around the
ankles Strips of satin are sewed three
times to the inside of the skirt, once
In front, once at each side. Through
these the feet are slipped, thus securely
binding in the skirt hem at front end
sides. Walking, sitting or starding,
she skirt must drag il around the feet.
Sometimes tapes are fastened inside
the skirt, being tied tight, a scheme
which makes locomotion somewhat diff
fieult. In short skirts wide beading is
used, sewed on the outside of the skirt
below the knees. Through this a wide
ribbon is threaded. pulled tight and
tied with loops and long ends at side
or back.

likely she will be found. But nothing is
