The young man gazed studiously in

speaker. She was not pretty, in fact
any of the girls scattered about the
lawn excelled her in loneliness, but
there was something genuine and
charming in all that she said and did.

Indeed" responded Mary with
dancing eyes. Now we can sit on this
rustic bench for a few minutes until
the game begins and will post you"
Thereupon she proceeded to desig-

members of the merry quartet on the
lawn.

TAKEN FROM EXCHANGES

More than 20 per cent of the exports
of Jamaica come to the United States.
During the last year the Navajo
Indian blanket industry reached to-
tai Of $4,000.
Miners of Cripple Creek, Leadville
and other Colorado towns on the
Fourth of July and other holidays hold

Important Scientific Discovery.

The discovery of process by which
aluminium may be plated with nicl 81
has been announced i'll paper read
before q French industrial society.
The plated metal is claimed to en-
dure hammering and to be bent in
sheet form without cracking. The
metal, as cleaned in the iron acid
bath. shows under the microscope a
surface full of minute cavities in which
the nickel deposits and adheres.

And what does taboo mean in this

Just this: She is engaged

"Oh, dear, no! You don't like his
looks, / see. Well, to be frank with
you, neither do l. He is Gregory Milne
and an old discarded lover of the girl

haunted her ever since. Her fance is

"Who?" challenged Albert, with a

"Mr. Massey, Etta's fiance. Why, do
you know him?"
He was my closest chum at col
lege," explained Albert and he sur
Yeyed the rival lover thoughtfully.
He was admiring, grateful and at
tracted by the trouble Mary took to
make him at home at tennis. She was
older than most of the girls, and as
hostess seemed to be some gracious
lady chatelaine, with the thought only
Of making everybody happy.
Mary began to do some serious
thinking, however, as the pleasant days
drifted by. Enthusiastically to her mind
Albert had gone directly against her
suggestions. He was courteous to all.
but the tabooed girl seemed to have
fascinated him. Whenever he could he
was with her and Eta appeared to be
pleased with his attentions. Milne was
Furiously incensed, for Albert constant

II was in the thoughts of Mary more
than once to speak with Albert on the
subject of his flirting, or counting,
whichever it was, with Eta Vincent.
There was a delicate construction of
unfaithfulness to his friend Massey in
his action.

To herself Albert was more than

It was missing for a week. She was
wild with delight when Albert restored

her as if to kiss her.

sorely disappointed.
Unconsciously that strange episode
had drawn her nearer to him. In a
} measure she resented the manner in
which Eta Vincent boldly appropri-

wonder, as Albert entered the Hope
grounds he found Mary alone with

King EdtUard VII, Among
Biggest of DreGdnaughts,
Sinks After Hitting Mine
By associated Press

Iondon. Jan. 10.-The British bat.
tlcship King Edward VII has been
sunk as the result of striking a mine.
The entire crew was saved. The sink
ing was announced by the Admiralty
in the following statement: III. NJ. S.
King Edward VII has struck a mine.
Owing 10 the heavy sea she had to
be abandoned and sank shortly after
ward. The ships company was taken
off without any loss of life. Only two
men were injured"
another pang to the British public
will BE caused by the announcement
of The loss of the battleship. The brieS
official statement does not reveal the
scene of the action. The King Ed
ward VII represented All investment
of neary l1,600,000, and was one of
the finest of the last class of pre-
GreadIaughts corresponding in gen.
eral to the American ships of the
New Jersey and Nebraska type. She
was only slightly older than the
Natal, which was sunk by an internal
explosion about a week ago.

Get the Habit of
Drinking Hot Water
Before Breakfast
Says we can't look or feel right
with the system full
Of poisons.

Millions of folks bathe internally
now instead of loading their system
with drugs. Whats an inside bath 2"
you say. Well, it is guaranteed to
perform miracles if you could believe
these hot water enthusiasts.
There are vast numbers Of men and
women who, Immediately upon arising
in the morning, drink a glass of real
hot water with a teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it. This is very
excellent health measure. 1t is in
tended to flush the stomach, liver,
kidneys and the thirty feet of intes-
tines of the previous days waste, sour
bile and indigestible material left over
in the body which If not eliminated
every day, become food for the mil
lions of bacteria which infest the bow
els, the quick result is poisons and
toxins which are then absorbed into
the blood causing headache, bilious at
tacks, foul breath, bad taste, colds,
stomach trouble, kidney misery, Sleep
lessness, impure blood and all sorts
of ailments.
People who feel good one day and
badly the next, but who simply can
not get feeling right are urged to OBJ
tain a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate at the drug store. This will
cost very little but is sufficient to
make anyone a real crank on the sub
ject of internal sanitation.
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing. sweetening and
freshening, so limestone phosphate
and hot water act on the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels. II is vastly
more important to bathe on the inside
than on the outside, because the skin
pores do not absorb impurities into
the blood, while the bowel pores do.

sion was that it was optional with the
lower end boroughs as to whether or
not they take UP the plan of improve
ment under the commission.
Clerk of the Courts Carothers has
received from the secretary of this
commission, however. a copy of the
law creating this body and also map
showing the limits of its sphere of
action. Under a law passed in 1889
n commission OF fve men is created
who have charge of proposed improve
ments in a section within a three-mile
radius of third class cities.
All plans for laying out of lots,
general town improvements and the
like sent here for record must be sub
mitted to the Harrisburg commission.
The section that the body may act in
includes practically all of East Penns-
boro township, a big slice of Hampden
township, some of Lower Allen, and
the towns of New Cumberland, Le-
moyne, West Fairview, Enola and
Camp Hill. The line reaches almost
to Shiremanstown.
A section of Fairview township,

included in the three mile limit.
