Philadelphia, April 13.-Miss Lydia

of this city, wandered from her home
at Leopard, Chester County. Tuesday
evening, and, Notwithstanding the eff
forts Of hundreds of men of the sur
rounding countryside and troopers of
the State Police, had not been found
up until late hour last night
Miss Mason is past 80 years of age,
and is said to have been suffering for
the last twelve years from neurast-
henia, and that at times she was not
accountable for her actions. She has
been under the care of a physician for
years, and until last January was
watched by trained nurse. She is
of medium height and weight and
OF dark complexion, with hair cut
short. When last seen she was wear
ing a plain black dress, but no coat or
hat
Mrs. Mason, her mother, and anoth-
er daughter, Mary, have been driving
in an automobile up and down the
many roads and lanes of Chester and
Montgomery Counties, in search OF
the missing woman Although dis

by large grounds, and from the porch

the hunters could be seen throughout
the night Shortly before midnight

Of this city asking their aid and that
they employ bloodhounds to trail her
lost daughter

their helpers were divided into small
/ posses under the leadership OF State
/ troops, and each allotted TO a differ
[ ent district. Within two hours after
! her disappearance hundreds of mer

| and creeks of the two counties.
The case is one OF the most peculiar

II Miss Mason had fallen into one O

Small Engine for Pumping.

Many farmers are buying gasoline engines for pumping. The points to be demanded are compactness. sim plicity, economy, effective cooling and durability For best results it Is i'm portant to get the directly connected engine with a set of gears and cranks in a solid cast frame. Power trans mission by means of belts may be sat isfactory if well arranged. and in some cases it is necessary.
 It must be remembered that If a man buys a cheap engine he gets a cheap engine. An efficient machine of this character cannot be built at an extremely low cost, and machines that are sold too cheap are usually lacking in durability or efficiency. To secure quality is economy in buying a gaso- line engine. as in buying anything else. The best is the cheapest in the long run.

CLEANING ORIENTAL RUGS
How Spots Can Be Removed and the Rich coIors of the Fabric
 Brought Out.

After oriental rugs have been dusI cleaned at home by any of the new and excellent electric cleaners, the less, but not clean looking. If there are grease spots or any other spots on the carpet they remain as before.
 The province of the machine is to remove every particle of dust and it fulfills this mission, but the good housekeeper is not content to see spots of any kind remaining on her rugs.
 This can be remedied and the rich colors brought out by the following simple method. Leave the rug on the floor where it belongs. Remove every thing from on top of it. Take naptha soap and make lather in luke warm water. Take an old Turkish towel. dip it in the studs, wiring out and rub the rug vigorously, being careful not to rub agaii- the nap of the rug. You will see the dirt of the rug coming of on the towel, but not bit of the color. Dip in again, washing of dirt of the towel and continue to rub until the towel remains clean. Whenever the suds look dark change the water and prepare fresh suds.
 When the entire carpet is rubbed, take luke warm water, dip in your towel, wiring out, and go over the en- tire surface so that no sign of the suds Is left Then leave the rug un- disturbed until thoroughly dry. It is surprising how the rug lights upr The ratural tints of oriental material are brought out and the conscious feeling that the rug is clean from sanitary point of view is satisfaction.
 The fringe of the rug should not be rubbed, as 1t is too delicate. but can be cleaned easily by sitting on a foot stool with basin on the lap and dip ping into the studs handful of fringe at time, wringing out tight when clean Avoid wetting the rug as far as possible while cleaning the fringe. This process finished, spread the fringe out straight on the floor until thoroughly dry. The fringe should be cleaned first.

No PIaee saered to Thieves.

Dr. Carlos F. Macdonald, the ta- nous alienist, was a witness at ses- sion of the supreme court in New York a few days ago He had an ex- pensive fur-lined overcoat, which he threw on a chair some distance from where he took a seat. The clerk of the court advised the doctor that he would keep the coat under observa- ton. You don't mean to tell me" said Dr. Macdonald, incredulously, that any one would dare come into this courtroom and take my coat?" The clerk assured him that there was such a possibility. Why" said the court official, do you know that two men lost suits in this courtroom yes terday?" Dr. Macdonald didn't mind the pun, but he watched his coat. Some time ago a well-known lawyer did lose his overcoat in a supreme court room in the notorious Tweed courthouse" It was on a cold day, too The lawyer laid his coat on a chair behind him and addressed the court When he reached for the gar ment he found an old rusty one, which somebody had left in its place. Hence the advice to Dr. Macdonald.
