The establishment of a Cutting School
In Lehlghton has hfen Instrumental In
more fully arousing public sentiment Upon
one vital question than lias ever before
been aroused, namely : :

FOR WO.MKNV
Appealing to your most candid judg

daughters hi surti a manner thai thev cm

Is no education that prepares any tadv for
the responsibilities and duties of life equal
lo knowing how to construct her own
clothing properly,
U Is only the second consideration con
cerning this life's goods Tin- lirst Is pre
pailngoili' fond prouerly and next Is our
clothing, and this is of the highest Import
anc'toall, and might mean very much to
some or our leaders. It Is an attested fad
'that the Hutting School Is a haililnaer of
good wherever established, and the price
of Ihe thorough course of Instructions giv
en Is merely nominal compared with its
great value which Is clearly demonstrated
by the, best judgment of some that have
already been doing good work wl'h 11, and
we cordially welcome any one lo our In
struction Rooms to see and Investigate for
themselves.
Space only penults us to give the names
of a few who lake pleasure In speaking of
its worth.

Sick Headabhe
IS a complaint from which many suffer
and tew are entirely free. Its cause
is Indigestion and a sluggish liver, the
cure for which is readily found tn the
use of Ayer's Pills.
" I have found that for sick headache,
caused by a disordered condition of the
stomach, Ayer's Tills are the most re
llablo remedy." Samuel 0. Bradburn,
Worthlngton, Mass.
"After the use ot Ayer's Pills for
many years, in my practice and family,
I am justified In saying that they are an
excellent cathartic ana liver medicine
sustaining all the claims made for them."
W. A. Westfall, M. D., V. P. Austin
& N. W. Railway Co., Burnet, Texas.
"Ayer's Pills are the best medicine
known to me for regulating the bowels,
and for all diseases caused by a dis
ordered stomach and liver. I suffered
for over three years from headache, in
digestion, and constipation. I had no
appetite and was weak and nervous
most ot the time. By using three boxes
ot Ayer's Pills, and at the same time
dieting myself, I was completely cured."
Philip Lockwood, Topeka, Kansas.
" I was troubled for years with indi
gestion, constipation, and headache. A
few boxes of Ayer's Pills, used In small
dally doses, restored me to health.
They are prompt and effective." W. H.
Strout, Meadville, Pa.

THE DATE.
As Carmen spraitfr out of beil llint
morning she exolalmeil with exuberant
gayety:
"Today, today nt last 1 am 20 years
old!"
And she ran to the mirror.
She surely expected to find her face
entirely changed. The longing impa
tience of the little child, the still stronger
wishes of the grown up girl, the reading
of romantic verses and fantastic stories
everything contributed ita sharo to
wards setting forth in magic brightness
that so ardently longed for hour in her
life. And withoc t doubt she was now sur
prised not to find a radiant glory crown
ing her head, except the blonde braids
which formed a halo about her forehead.
Then she raised her eyes, and while
she rested her gaze upon a picture that
hung on the wall under wreath of
everlastings she could not suppress the
words:
"How beautiful mamma was! We dc
look very much alike."
Indeed, the countenance of the young
and beautiful woman, inclosed by the
frame, and that pf the charming maiden
resembled each other like two sisters of
the same age. The expression of the
face, the childlike, undecided glance,
gave the dead almost the appearance of
a younger sister, and a perpetual smile
seemed to play about hor lips.
"I am as beautiful as Bhe," Carmen
continued, without taking her eyes from
the picture; "only it is noticeable that 1
have a more decided character. Of
course, for have I not been the head and
mistress of our house so long now? And
if any one should perhaps not take nie
for such, just let him ask papa. But
there, I chatter, and he is certainly ex
pecting me."
Carmen hastily completed her toilet,
gracefully grasped the train of her morn
ing dross, and quickly left her room to
go to that of her father.
Don Juan Crisostomo Lopez had just
at this moment finished shaving. His
face resembled that of a priest, gentle
and good. With a little comb that he
always carried with him he had once
mora combed his gray peruke that pe
ruke, so inseparable from his personality,
with which Don Juan Crisostomo had
covered his head ever since years ago ho
had passed some time on the island of
Cuba, where an obstinate fever had shat
tered his health and robbed him of his
hair.
"Carmen!" exclaimed Don Juan on
hearing the noise of the door, and he
turned with open arms toward his
daughter. He pressed her tenderly to
his heart and murmured:
"Yes, she is the living picture of her
mother. Foor Consuelol From me she
has not one feature! Dut is there a bet
ter balsam for my wound? For does not
her charming being, with all her beauty
and grace, return to me in this child, so
blonde and sweet, that she left behind in
the cradle when she stepped down into
the graver"
"Listen, little rogue," said he immedi
ately thereupon. "You must not think
that I have forgotten this day. Yonder
6n the table lies the present."
Quickly Carmen released herself from
his embrace and ran to the spot men
tioned. A pretty littip case stood on the
marble slab. Carmen opened it and
showed her delight
"Ah, what ft precious ring! A ruby
set in diamonds."
"It is a memento of your mother,"
said Don Juan, whose eyes filled with
tears. "I often heard her say that she
intended one day to present it to you.
It must be one of the ornaments of her
girlhood, for I djd not give it to her.
Put it on your finger."
Then they went to the dining room
and breakfasted in the happiest mood.
The southern sun, that floods with its
golden rays the coasts of Malaga, Where
rattier and daughter are living, danced
tn the bottles and glasses and drew vivid
flashes from the stones of the ring. Car
men did not take her eyes from them,
now taking the ring off, now putting it
on, as she examined it closely.
Suddenly she exclaimed:
"Ah I my God! I have broken it! Do
look, papa! But no! It can be opened
like a medallion; and there is n date on
it, too: 18- Wait"
She cleansed the ring with a few drops,
of water, und after she had. cqrefully
ruuueu ii me unto siipne. fortu cieariy
and plainly.
"June 3, 1868. Does not this date re
mind you of anything, papa?'
"June 3, 18C0J" repeated Don Juan,
and dropped his fork, "No! O yes! in
.Tune. 1886, 1 was in Cuba. You have
made a mistake, little one. Let, let me
see."
Carmen gave him the ring. Don Juan
mad tlm dVe, and a alight pallor covered
his face. Then, shrugging bl shoulders
and smiling, lie exclaimed:
"Nothing! nothing! some forgotten,
anniversary, perhaps entirely without
jigniiiCHnce."
But no one knew better than lie with
what zealous care he had collected all
the reminiscences of the life of tliat wo
a.an, whom be idolized in his inwsiory,
nd which he treasured there w faith.
fully as one treasures the ashes of a be
loved creature in a sealed urn.
He could not, therefore, calm himself,
notwithstanding the great effort lie made
to control himself. Without saying an
other word, he arose from the table, and,
after he was out ot Carmen's presence,
he hurried to Ids room in search of soli
tude, there to solve all the questions that
were rising in his troubled brain.
No; be oould not harbor the least sus
picion against Consuelo. It must be a
mistake. Who knows!" It was hot
at all therefore from any misgiving
ttau Don Juau tonud Ui Uutt UUl
tor where he preserved iill the letters of
Consuelo like a priceless jewel those of
thoir courtship and those which the ten
derness of the wife had inspired in her
during her marriage of three years, un
til death came to rob him of his com
panion. Sim-e that time he had never
parted, even for a moment, with the key
to this coffer; it was always attached to
his wnloh chain: for it seemed to him
that 1m was there also nreservlne some
thing Of the soul of the doparted.
Out of his trembling fingers a small
puolmge of letters fell on the table.
Their envelopes were all covered with
post marks which indicated the stations
of theirBrent journeys, and curried the
address:
"Senores IUmirez & Co., for Don Junn
Crisostomo Lopez. Htibanti."
He soon found the letlersought In the
package, nnd the date Jnne 3, 1866.
Sprnng before his eyes. She had written
it on the tiny that followed that myste
rious annivernnry tliat wns inscribed
on tho ring.
Did he mistake, or wns tho letter really
written with n trembling hand?
Don Juan read:
"At last, nfter many weeks, I took
my first walk. Manuel persuaded ma to
do it. Ho tried it several times Wore,
but in vain! But yesterday I yielded,
and wo walked along the beach."
And in a postscript Consuelo ndded:
"Yon may imagine that tit the sieht of
the billows I thought of you, since you
live so fur away, far, far beyond yonder
Dlue line or tho horizon."
Don Juan dropped tho letter. He
also was looking nt a distant, indefinite
point, with the-unfathomable expression
of one who seeks to explore the nast.
Then ho read hurriedly tho four hist let
ters ot the package. The name of Man
uel did not ngain appear.
'Ihis suenco appeared to liirn like lie.
The more so since lie found on his re
turn that Manuel, his yommer brother.
who looked so handsome in his ship offi
cer's uniform, was still in Malaga, And
he was now inseparable from them and
gave them the plainest proofs of the
greatest attachment. And how intent
lie was on becoming the godfathor of
Carmen! And then only lie returned to
his ship nnd set his sails for distant seas.
But suddenly tho ship stranded, and no
one but a boatswain could save himself.
But in the letter which Manuel wrote a
few days before he left tho harbor for
the last time, he inquired after nil with
much sympathy.
And in Don Juan s memory the recol
lections followed each other prophetical
ly. The inconsolable pain with which
Consuolo received the report of the ship
wreck. Tho despairing effort with which
she asked his forgiveness in her last mo
ments. "Forgiveness! What for?"
Don Juan struck his forehead with
terrible indignation, and ho almost
screamed out when Carmen gently rapped
at the door.
"What!" exclaimed tho girl, enterintr.
"yon have not yet put on your fine
coat!"
Carmen was dressed to co out. with
parusol in her hand and baton her head.
Don Juan arose violently und like a
surprised criminal. Without looking at
her, he inunnured:
"Where are we going?"
"Why, to tho cemetery, papa, as every
year."
Soon he was ready and the two started
on their way. On the street Carmen felt
how her father's arm trembled in hers.
Don Juan was talking to himself.
" What uro you saying, papa?" Carmen
asked him.
"I am counting."
"Paces?"

They entered the cemetery, and pro
ceeded to their family graves. Before
Don Juan opened the gate, he stood still
for a moment and viewed the individual
stones.
Two names were inscribed on them:
Manuel Antonio Lopez, ship ensign, died
on the ocean, July 11, 1867, and Consuelo
Arias de Lopez, died May 0, 1868. Thero
were two other stones on the same bury
ing plot that were awaiting their iascrip
tions. Don Juan sank his head nnd knelt
down.
Carmen was already accustomed to
thoso gloomy meditations. She left him,
therefore, uudisturbed, passed to and fro
in the little garden that surrounded the
graves, touched up tho llowers and rib
bons of tho wreaths, and added fresh
es. But when about twenty minutes
later she saw that her father still did not
move, she called him with a soft voice.
Don Juan did not answer.
"Poor papa!" said Carmen, "he loved
her so much!"
Sho again went awav and read the in.

Carmen felt n little ashamed on ac

his great sorrow and approached him,
saying:
"uut, papa, yon will take cold. It is
time to leturn lionip. Cornel"
Don Juan did not move.
He resembled a statue. Carmen
touched his slioulder and then lie arose.
His face was covered with a deep pallor
and his eyes reflected the bewilderment
of insanity.
He arobe mechanically from the earth,
extended his arms as if towards a vision
and murmured:

that your life is evil, and n warning to

is also a good sign. Superstitious peoplo
may dream of set'in? this arvh enemy of
mankind. If so, it foretells that they
will go nWay from home to bo absent
Ronio time. It" iiImi rIiowb that they will
bo forhlniilo in life. To a young girl it
is a sign that she will either bo well
married nnd leave home, or leave for
some other retiNiii.
According to the gypsy, to dream that
yon batho in clear watut is a sign that
you will enjoy good health; if muddy,
tho death of relnrives or friends. To nee
a bath, linger; to take a warm bath tle
notealuippini'ss; if you tako one either
too hot or too cold, domestic troubles.

of an heir to childless jieople, good for

it foretells an early marringo under the
most auspicious circumstances, and that
their wedding will be attended with
troops of congratulating friends, who
will shower presents upon them. On
the other hand, to dream of seeing hell

called to mourn some friend or relative.
To go to weddings when ono Is wide
awake is exceedingly pleasant, but wo
should bo careful how we dream about
them. To dream of being married your
self foretells your death.
For a girl to dream of inking newly
mown hay is n sign tdie will bo married

there is a specter deer on tho mountain.
I have seen it, and so havon great many
other people. Now, I omi hit a top of n

An Ostler Slew In Haifa Minute.
Ordinarily it takes fifteen to twenty
minutes to make an oyster stew proper
ly; but Yankee genius has invented a
contrivance which relegates tho hitherto
popular svstem to tho realms of antiq
uity. I ontered a caravansary up town which
Is much patronized by ladies out on hus
band impoverishing expeditions and or
dered an oyster stow. Tlio waiter, to
my snrprise. returned with it in about
three-quarters of a minute.
"Hero," said I, "I don't want any
ready made stew, I want one cooked to
order."
"This is cooked to order, sir," replied
the garcon, "and I'll gnnrnntee it is well
made, too. You taste it, and if you
don'trlike it I'll have another iiuiiIb in
the same time in your presence."
I tastod it with diffident lips and in
credulous mind, but sure enough it was
as good a stew ns I had ever eaten.
Curious to loarn how it was done I in
quired of tho waiter for information,
when he led me to the front window
and told tho young man acting in
the capacity of lightning chef what 1
wanted.
"I can make you n stew in thirty-fix
seconds," said the Briliat-Havarin, "and
this is the way I doit:"
So saying he turned n set screw, which
Hont steam slzziug through a tube in a

then he scooped a dozen oysters, which

jnioe. Aftef a few rewinds he skimmed
the oyster juice, which lmd begun to
boil immediately on being placed in the
copper plate; next he ponred a little
milk, and afterward a small piece of
butter into the plate, and, presto! the
stew was made.
It had taken a trifle over half a min
ute. "We have an average of 800 people
here during the entire day," sold the
chef, as he juggled with two milk shakes,
a glass of cider and one of grape juice,
and if all of them ordered nothing but
oyster stews I oould supply them as fast
as they could eat them with tluwe two
steam plates. It's a new invention, und
