THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMS BURG, PA. 0'E WOMAN'S WAY. A HOUSIBOAT I5CIDENT. Ta July, 1S92. 1 acccptpj an Invitation to spend a week at Panftbourne with the Hewlrts on their houseboat. A pleasanter party surely never gathered. General and Mrs. Hewlett seamed to concentrate their energiea tn making young folk happy. The Gen eral wae. and still Is. always surround ed by a Nvy of larking subaltern, who swore bv him as the priuce of good fel lows, and to whom he was a real guide, philosopher and friend, getting thetn out of scrape after scrape, and appar ently liking them all the better the more scrapes they got into: while Mns. Hewlett deservedly holds the proud ti tle of the most Inveterate and success ful match maker la the world. It wa men and there that I first met Archie Chandos. though I had frequent ly heard of him. Indeed, most peoi' had at that time heard of him. for he managed by his reckless extravagance to get talked about by people In gener al, and paragraphed by the society pa pers In particular. Some two years before our meeting one of his aunts had died, leaving him a handsome fortune, and he had in some eighteen months or to run through as much money as would have maintained him in comfort for the rest of his life. Consequently, the last financial state of that young line lieutenant was con siderably worse than the first, ami within a few months of my first meet ing with him a meeting of his credi tors had been called, and he had been severely admonished by some gentle- men rejoicing In the rank and style 1 of official receiver. : I must confeej I was agreeably sur- j prised on making his acquaintance. I found him a very good-looking, unas- I suming. gentlemanlike, and straight- forward boy. with frank, good-tempered eyes and" a winning countenance. In che mornrng we fished or punted, ' and In the afternoon made calls or ! played lawn tennis in the neighbor-! hood. At 5 i'clock there was always a ; p!ea.?ant tea on the deck of our own or : somebody's else boat. U was supremely pleasant to sit from I 3 till about 10 or 11 among the palms ' and Chinese lanterns, watching the moonlight kissing the placid bosom of the sleeping river. It was pleasanter still when Archie, bringing his deck ihair closer to mine, chatted confident- ' lally. a though we had met as many , years ago as davs. - , ' He had been left early aa orphan, I and had been brought up under the strict unbending rule of doubtless wor- j thy ( but bigo:ed relatives, so that I ceased to wonder that, as ts,pn as he gained his majority and freedom, he plunged Into the vortex of the whirl pool men call life. ! . "You see. I never had a sister," he ?aid, his eyes resting on my face with ' a strange wistful expression. ""Ihink ; if my life had been blessed with the in- , Suence of a girl like like some girls : I have met. it would have been o'-her than It has been." f rem the after-deck drifted the aro- ' ma of cigar smoke, the sound of volce3 the General's and Archie's. I heard my name mentioned. I am a wo man. I listened. Under tie circum staicts so would a man. "A capital chance for you. my boy.' said the General. "I'm pretty certain ; she likes you. and she's as good &s gold." , "Ah! but she's wealthy," sa'.d Archie. "If I had met her before I played tfc fool with my fortune, it niijat have been. Hut for a penniless outcast like me to seek a girl like that! What would the world think? What would she think?" There was a pause. Then he said ah- ruptly: "Good night. General. By the by. I uuet pack up and be off in the morn ing. I must go up to the horse guards to see about my exchanging into a West Indian regiment, or retiring and receiving the value of my commission." , "And what 6hall ycu do after?" "Don't quite know cattle ranche In Texas, sheep farm in Queensland, or perhaps Kimberley or Mashonaland." Next morning I discovered that it was 'absolutely necessary that I 6houId punt up to Whitchurch Lock. Archie Chandos offered to punt me. but I wou'd not permit him, consenting, how ever, to take him as a passenger. "I am going away this afternoon," he ' 3aid. dreamily gazint at Whitchurch woods up above. "Indeed!" I said, with an assumed air of - profound lniifferedce. "Tired of this quiet kind of life. I suppose?" j He made no answer. Then suddenly it strangely occurred to me that we were not very far from the houseboat, that the river was not very deep, that I could sim acres It' without the least d.iiiculty In the world, and that the water could not be very cold, while nothing in the world seemed much mare desirab'e that hot morning than a good ducking. And Just then, strangely enough, my' pole slipped, and in half a moment, with a half-sriara, I went tumbling Into about four ftc: of water. i He was almost instantly beside me, '; one arm round me, the other striking out for the opposite rhore. We were in really deep water now, so . naturally I. for sjfety, clasped his neck with one of my arm 3. ' Whatever would Mrs. Grundy have said? Mrs. Gen. Hewlett, when I told her tn confidence, said: j "You designing little minx! I like you now better than ever, and I'm ' sure he'll make one of the best hue-' bands In the world. So much better than his going to Texas." London Evening News, I rU la Natural Dilatory. Some curious facts in natural history xe that fishes have no eyelids, and necessarily sleep with their eyes open; they swallow their food whole, having no dental machinery furnished them. -Froga, toads and serpents never take food except that which they are satis fied te alive. 6erpents are so tenacious ot life that they will livs (or six month or longer without food.

Fumlce stone Is one of the best .bines to use in removing stains of any kind from tne nanus. Creaking boots: Stand1 the boots for twenty-four hours In a pan of salt and water, deep enough to cover the soles. A sponge large enougn to expand and All the chimney after having been squeezed In. tied to a slender stick. Is the best thing with which to clean a lamp chimney. Here Is a point to bear In mind when purchaslne poultry: Solcct that which is "dry picked. Poultry that is scald- ?d before being picked loses much of its flavor and will not . keep jo well. It may be recognized by the ikin. which will be smooth and drawr. rather tight over the flesh. The fowl will have a plump appearance because Df the contraction of the skin by heat. In washing anything made of cham ois skin use warm water with a little immonia In It. Wash by rubbing be 'tween the fingers, but do not wring the chamois. Press It between the palms )f the hands to take out the water, and hang before the fire or In the hot sun :o dry quickly, rubbing and pulling the irticle Into proper shape every few moments to prevent the skins drying hard and stiff. When plants in pots have become ?roten. they should be dipped Into a pall of cold water so as quite to Im merse the leaves, care being taken not :o break the brittle leaves. When thawed -fey the water, they should be placed in a warm room, but not near the fire; they should be watered with a little artificial manure. We cannot vouch for this treatment, but consider it worth a trial. IIobm flanta. One of our lady readers, successful with her house plants in the winter season, gives us two points in their management. Every gardener and flor ist knows the value of what is called 'bottom heat." A warm atmosphere ?specially if a dry one is often insuffi :lent to bring about healthy growth, ind is sometimes injurious. What is anted for many kinds of plants and lowers, is most heat at the roots and lbres. where the growth really starts, ind from which the stimulus is con veyed to every other part of the plant, V thrifty growth below the ground is wre to be followed by fruit and flow rs above. Our lady friend accom ilishes this by filling the saucers of ler flower-pots with hot water. This s. of course, absorbed, giving the re riirfd bottom heat. Unthrifty plants, n addition to this, she places on the nantel-pii.ee over the kitchen rang?, tecT'ng them, of course, well watered, t supplies heat where it Is most want !d at the roots and the benefit is narked. In warm rooms the highei empcrature Is at tha top. and the cold est near the fioor, where the pots are. This reverses the proper order, giving he roots of a plant the coldest place nother important matter in house ilants is to give them the morning ;un. Windows, where flowers are kept should therefore face the east. The easons are nut known, perhaps, but he fact is patent to all whose business t is to develop healthy growth in Mants and flowers, that an-, hour o! norning sun is worth three hours cf ifternoon sun. Every one observes .his. and It may be owing to some in creased electrical action at that time. London' Miserable YYcnien, General Booth, commenting on tht .rise of an elderly woman who recently poisoned herself rather than enter a orkhouse, says he calculates tha: .here are at least 5,'0 women in Lon iou, above l) years'of age. who hav ao dwelling save the streets, or wher ,ver they can find a shelter. In the leason, says the London Mail, they Mck up a living by doing odd jobs ibout Covent Garden or the other Lob ion markets. At other times they wander about the city in the early nomipgs, gathering out bits of rags .'roru the tubs of refuse that are put out from warehouses for collection by dust :arts. They collect from the same re ;eptacles the cast-out tej leaves for another brewing, when they are lucky enough to get a little hot water. Or they eke out their wretched existence by doorstep cleaning and fire-lighting, Dr occasionally sell watercress and the tike. The wandering crowd is made up jf broken-down widows, deserted wives and a few of the. gaunt survivors ol another claaf . Eaeh goes her own de spairing way. but all are united with the one passionate hatred of the work house. For such poor creatures the Hanbury street shelter for women It provided, and the Salvation army hope oon to be able to open a like shelter it the West End. I e o.' (lfrtrlne. So few of us appreciate the man; raluable qualities of glycerine, and in how man) wcys it may be used. In case of thirst ia a fever patient a few drops applieJ to thj lips or tongue will allay thirst, fad an irritating cough may be allrv.j by the use of it. For flatulency. t::Ue a teaspoonful af ter each meal. Applied to the shoes, glycerine is a great preservator of the leather and will prevent wet feet by keeping out water. Equal parts of bay rum and glycerine applied to the face after shaving is very soothing and cooling to the 6kln. A few drops ol glycerine rut into fruit Jars the last thing before sealing will help to keep the preserves from moulding on top. It will prevent the hands from chap ping or cure them if they are chapped. Two or three drops will often rellev the pain in a baby's stomach. In short the uses of glycerine are innumerable lha 1830 Skirt Tilt. In Paris the old practice of holding op the skirt at the side has quite gone out of fashion. Owing to the width of the modern skirt it is necessary to lift it on either side in order to evade the mud, and consequently our belief will shortly adapt the 1&30 air, which is so distinctly modest and feminine. Petticoats under dresses so lifted re quire, therefore, to be more handsome and dainty than the gowns themselves and many of them are now being elab orately embroidered to prepare for tlx Inevitable demand. t!3 GSS A!u KE2TCC3 E53S. .'.-rt erl Theory Atxmt Chlrt:n Halving ear the liullao lleail t'rovlrtg; Ground.

Not an' e-pg in all the belt, the farmers say, has' developed a chicken since the proving ground was established. This fallu.-e of the eggs to do their duty Is very nat urally attributed by the farmers to the firing of the big guns; the rural citi zens explain it by saying that the "noise makes the hens nervous." The otScers have worked it out to tiielr own satisfaction that the fecun dity of eggs within the depression and the lack of it in those without are due o the length of the heavier sound waves that start from the muzzles of the guns.

Ice. and lemon rind which, the Chronicler Is credibly informed, is sometimes used as a bev erage by hardened persons. This is the story of the derivation of the word: Long beiore Cortex and his conquls tadores had come to trouble the peace cf Aahuac, an Aztec noble was ble-s3ed with a fair daughter. Xochitl by name, who. by dint of native genius and close study of "The Barkeepers' Guide," at tained marvelous proficiency as a com. pounder cf strange and seductive mix ed dtinks.

Fire yer so lart winter, there was con fi'lrrable commotion on the b&uLi of the White River, Wiioontin, as s young man named E. N. Hallerk, had broken through tha ice, and was for some moments lost to view. It was not long, however, hefore Mr. Hallerk came in light again, and by artistic means was tihed from the fluid and rwtored to aoriety. If the ducking had been all, it would have be-n well, but unfortunately, the young gentleman contracted a heavy cold, resulting in chronic rheumatism, com plicated with disease of Kidney and urinary orzans. ''For !x months," writ. Mr. Ilalleck, " I was laid up. and not able to do anything. Turing this time I anlfered with pains in the stomach and tmall of the back, and heidarbe. urination waafreqnent and pain ful, my heart'! action waa increased, and I had aches all or-r my body, and waa genr ally uwd up.

Schaeffer, superin tendent of public instruction, is a strong advocate of women on school boards. He says the office of direc tor is one of fitness and if a woman is more fit for the place than man she ought to replace him. On the other side of the Atlantic woman has shown that she is superior to nun in her fit ness for the office. Dr. Schaeffer be lieves man is too prone to neglect the comforts of the school house, while on the other hand the woman is more observant of the needs of children. He has the first district to find in Pennsylvania where women are mem bers ot the school board that it is possi ble to talk of the "slaughter of the in nocents." He claims it is better to consult women in the curricuhu and grading of the school, and if he had his own way he would put several women on each school board in the state. From long experience and careful observation Dr. Schaeffer be lieves that we are taking a great step forward when we place women on the school board." For more than a hundred years the Sliakers have been studying the remedial properties of plants. They have made many discoveries, but their greatest achievement was made last year.

WI7 launder Rolir. The prolonged roll ot thunder is readily explained by comparison with a volley fired along a line ot troops. Suppose troops to be drawn up in line in such number as to extend for a mile, and ordered, by a signal that all could see, to fire at once. One stand ing at the end of the line would hear the report of the musket nearest him instantly. He would hear the others successively. Thus a reporrsfo feet away would come to him in half a second, and he would not hear the last report for five or six seconds after the gun had been fired. This would produce a sort of roll, which would gradually increase in intensity. Flashes of lightning may be considered as representing three lines of troops along which the explo sions occur at the same time. Consider the variety of distance and position of the listener, and we account for the variety of sound in thunder. In moun tainous regions the rolling is augment ed by reverberations of echoes.

J.) man knows better. He owns a small island, and one day, while looking over his stock, became aware that some of his pigs were missing. In searching for them he came to the beach, and there was surprised to find a dozen of them swimming. He tried in various ways to coax them to shore, but in vain. They were evi dently enjo)ing themselves, and did not come out until-they wete ready. Some time later there were some little pigs born, and before they were a week old they were taken for a swim by their elders, who had become so fond of the sport that they visited the beach dailv.
