Pickford, one Of Americas leading
legitimate stage dramatic actresses OF
today. Mary Pickford, portraying the
leading role Of this wonderful drama
supported by an all star cast of tai
ented pantomime stage artists, is
without a doubt one of the biggest
Photographic attractions that has ever
been afforded Pensacola's thousands
of enthusiastic lovers of high class
photoplays.
I'm the Bishops Carriage is a fas-
cinating drama of the underworld that
approaches tragedy and ends in ro-
nance. 1t presents an intensely inter
esting combination of thrilling Incl
dents and the dramtic episodes of
the book in q, masterful series of Won
derful Photographic scenes.
The story Of the finn drama is one
startling and realistic in the extreme
and graphically depicts how Nance
Olden (played by Mary Pickford) plays
many strange parts, but eventually
adopts a role that leads to love and
happiness.

Hints.

One of the most convenient things
about home may be the lowest step OF
the back stairs. The upper board may
lift on hinges, and in the box of the step
rubbers may be kept.
Even with careful washing, much,
used coffee pot will become 80 stained as
10 give muddy color to the coffee made
In 1t. To prevent this and thoroughly
cleanse the pot, boil In 1t for half an
hour, each week, a strong solution OF
borax and water.
When butter becomes old enough to
have strong taste, cut 1t into two OF
three pieces aud let stand in fresh, sweet
milk for six to eight hours. Then re-
move aud rinse In clear water. 1t will
be 81 fresh as II just ohurned.
Do not put bed spread through the
wringer after the last rinsing water, but
hang 1t on the line dripping wet. 1t will
dry without crease, will not require
ironing, and the fringe will be as fluffy
as when new.
If you rub just little butter undeI
the edge OF the spout of cream pitcher l.
will prevent a drop of cream from run
ming down the side of the pitcher, as II
so often does after each pouring.
A piece Of flannel dampened with
spirits Of camphor will remove stains
from mirrors and window-glass.
Oil or grease stains may be removed
from marble by covering them with .
paste made from fullers' earth and
water. Allow this to remain for two
days, wash off and polish.
Hold the fruit jar top with sandpaper,
and you can easily unsorew It.

Mining for Coffin Planks.

One of the most curious industries in
the world is the business of mining for
coffin planks, which is carried on in Up
per TOnquin, portion OF the French
possessions in southeastern Asia. In
certain district in this province there
exists a great underground deposit OF
logs, which were probably the trunks oil
trees engulfed by an earthquake or some
other CONFUSION of nature at a com
paratively recent period.
The trees are species OF pine known
to the natives, and also to some extent
to European commerce, as "nam-hou.'
The wood is almost imperishable, and
has the quality, either through its
ma ure or as the result of its sojourr
underground, of resisting decay from
damp. This quality makes 1t particular
" valuable for the manufacture OF
coffins, and for this purpose it is largely
exported to Europe.
The trees are often yard in diameter
They are buried in sandy earth, at 9
depth of from two to eight yards, and
are dug up by native labor as demand ia
made for them.

Many people suffer from piles because

Dr.. True's Elixir is composed of the ex-

all worms and other parasites from stomach

The Air of Cities.
SUBSTANCES THAT DESTROY IRON AND
sToNE-EFFECT ON LUNGS.

City air has amazing properties. The
smoke and soot that are always In the
atmosphere (there are 5000 tons OF SCOT
hanging over London every day. contain
lots of sulphur, and this sulphur when
it meets certain substances forms sui
phuric acid or vitriol.
1t was the vitriol in the atmosphere
that brought the great roof of Charing
Cross station down with crash few
years ago. The engine smoke had eaten
away the iron, which was insuficiently
painted. And some years before the
London underground was electrified 1t
was great joke at one of tho stations
for passengers to 20 and poke umbrellas
into certain iron girder which at one
point was nearly as soft as putty.
Paint Is in such cases the engineers
great standby. In some ways paint Is
more powerful than iron.
Many city buildings might be said to
be practically held together by paint,
particularly railway stations.
Since the Charing Cross disaster all
big railway stations are in the painters
hands practically all the time. Since the
Forth bridge was finished the painters
have never stopped working on it. But
for skin of paint the vitriol in the
engine smoke might rot the bridge.
1t Is this substance, too, that has made
Cleopatrs's Needle show greater signs OF
age since 1t came to London forty years
ago than it did after 1000 years In the
clear air of Egypt.
Though nobody's nose is keen enough
to detect the fact, the atmosphere OF
every large city smells family OF rotten
eggs.
All SCOT contains quantities OF sui
phuret' ed hydrogen, the gas which sup
plies the smell of bad egg.
1t is this property of city air that
makes housewives in large cities have to
polish their silver far more frequently
than II they lived in the country.
City air too contains great proper
ton of carbon. In dissecting room
they can always tell If a man has been
t0wnsman or countrymau.
If you are dweller in Manchester or
Birmingham you may rely on 1t that
your lungs are jet black. The country
mans are pink.
1t is carbon that chokes city vegetation
with smuts. In the garden inside TIT
Bank of England the leaves are washed
every week with soap and water.-Pear
