Government Finds Fathers.

The death rate among children born
out of wedlock is VIGOROUSLY and uni
versally far higher than that among
legitimate offspring. In the borough Of
Hampstead, London, it is 1877 as
against 60, and in New South Wales
1t is 1852 against 81. Norway, however,
has reduced the death rate to normal
through the government assuming the
responsibility of finding the father or
of acting the father in case he cannot
be found.

My Darling GIFT:
Your letters have just been forward
ed to me. I am the fellow with the
broken leg-hurry up and come to me-;
I am wild for a sight of you. I heard
you had gone to your uncle's in Salt
Lake, and started after you. but broke
my leg the day I struck here. Isn't it
all the strangest thing you eve heard
of-special Providence or something?
If you aren't here in five minutes, I'll
be up there on a stretcher, broken leg
and all. Darling, hurryl Ted,

IL of a chilly night, a
lambs wool quilt is another
treasure, which nowadays
runs the down coverlet
quite close in popular
favor.
These too are ready, in
quantity and the usual
Wanamaker quality = and
in quite a wonderful variety
of designs and colorings,
especially in the silk-cover-
ed quilts, which come in
floral patterns, stripes and
solid colorings, for $18 to
$35.
At $40, with backs and
centers of attractive figured
cambria, and with solid col
or sateen borders, there are
nice, warm quilts filled with
pure lambs wool.
Splendid, practical we'd
ding presents, these! And
still more splendid - be-.
cause they are bedrock
necessities (now that was
stated without anv thought
of a pun), more essential
than even the wool or
down quilts
What about a pair of
blankets for a gift TO an
October bride?
I INDEED, for anybody
Il and everybody, good
blankets today are an in
vestment such as they
never were before.
If you come to get yours
now you may have your Sc
lection out of 5000 blankets.
Our prices are as low as
good kinds can be sold for.
We have 81 different kinds
of wool and part-wool white
blankets, at 81 to S45 a
pair, and all are fresh, new
goods, the best to be had
for the prices in Philadel-
phia.
We have seven kinds of
gray blankets with wool in
them, at $3.50 to S18 a pair.
We mention these blank
cts in particular, because
the warmth of a blanket is
in the wool and the test of
a blanket store is the kind
of woolen blankets it sells.
These of ours are war
ranted to stand the test in
weight, size, grade and
warmth against any SINH
larly priced blankets in
Philadelphia.
Prudent folks are making
haste now to purchase
them while their proper

One of the things we have

their way, and we sell them,
excellent of their kind (this
years prices are 81 to S10),
nothing in the world is as

and we'd be doing less than
our duty to tell you other

After hard days work,

USE FOR THE OLD MATERIAL
Secondhand Lumber and Other Build
ing Nscessaries Can Be Picked
Up for Little Money.

One of the most interesting and prof
liable ways in which one who contem-
plates building a house and wants to
economize in doing it can spend an
hour or more is in one of the estab-
lishments devoted to the buying and
selling of secondhand building mate
rialS.
There is one which is particularly in
viting to ''prowlers." 1t faces on two
streets in an out-of-the-way part of
the city and consists Of number Of
old buildings with yards between, in
which there is an overflow of old
statues, columns of porches, metal
spouting, garden seats and other
"junk." One could pick up many a
thing here that could be incorporated
in a new-old house, but inside the
buildings there is a greater wealth to
choose from. Here one may find hard
wood floors, as good as new, taken
from houses that have been torn down
to make way for larger and more mod
ern structures. Here are beautifully
carved mantelS of marble and wood,
some Of them having cost hundreds Of
dollars, which can be purchased as
cheaply as commonplace one that was
turned out from the factory yesterday.
There are doors and castings of beauti-
full wood, bookshelveS with glass doors,
ceilings, cabinets of all kinds, side
boards, windows, bath tubs and all
bathroom fittings; sinks, tubs and all
the paraphernalia for the kitchen. 1t
is hard to think Of anything that Is
needed in the construction of house
that is not here or of anything that is
here which would not fit in some kind
of house,

Next TRANSPORTATION Problem.

That aerial rapid transit lines con-
Meeting the roofs of the worlds large
cities may be the next transportation
problem to demand solution was pre-
dicted at recent convention of own
ers and managers representing the bulk
Of the big building interests of this
country.
Congestion Of traffic on street and
elevated lines is not the only consid-
Grafton leading to this conclusion, re-
marks Popular Mechanics Magazine.
Time and convenience are also essen
tial. Plans for connecting adjacent
skyscrapers by means of aerial tram
cars running on cables and operated
by haulage cables, such as are used to
connect several peaks Of the Alps, have
been proposed to meet this problem.

Boys Drowned, Cat Escaped.

The tables were turned in q tragic
manner at Port Elizabeth, South At
rica, recently when two young boys
who attempted to drown cat-at the
request Of the animals owner-were
themselves drowned in a small bay
about three miles from the city. The
cat struggled when the lads tried to
hold it's head under the waves and be-
fore the boys realized their danger
they were swept out to sea by the out
going tide. The cat escaped from the
water and returned to its old home.

A Leaking Faucet.

When the faucets tn the bathroom
or kitchen leak or do not allow the
water to flow freely they need a new
washer, and the washers cost five
cents each, To put on the washer,
turn off the water, the rod is usually
under the sink or in the basement, and
unscrew the faucet; take off the worn
out washer and slip on a new one and
turn your water on again and presto
the work Is done and no repair bill to
pay.

Utilizing Rice HulIs.

Experiments have been made with
rice hulls in combination with differ
ent binding agents, but while the re
sulting briquets gave every satisfac'
ton from the standpoint Of heating
yet the initial cost Of the various bind
ing agents made their cost too high
for practical purposes. The expert
ments, however, are being continued
and it is hoped that in the futurn Q
briquet can be manufactured thu. will
be satisfactory from an economic

Record Floods in China.

The Celestial kingdom has been the
scene of some of the most terrible
floods on record, observes London Tit
Bits. In 1901 the Yellow river over
flowed and destroyed nearly 1000 vii
lagos and towns and 100000 people.
Two years, later there were great inun-
dations in Mongolia, caused by ty-
phoons, resulting in death roll of
5000.
