SufsciuehatiiKi. April 27. One pleasant
8unday, a few weeks since, a elergy
man near NVw MUford stood lit his
desk turning to t.. morning lesson In
the prayer book. The- congregation
waited to jive the resiionnes. but he
did not begin ne soon n usual. Some
thing curious hiul caught his eye, part
ly hidden under the BlVle nick, a
planting ledge, slightly rained above
flu. main desk. He looked mote close-
ly, and there, directly beneath the
IJIbl". ho saw a robin rod-brvasfs nest,
with two pretty blue eggs In It. Mrs.
Bed-breast and her mate had found a
hole lelt to a small, missing pane In the
old-lnshloned win.h w and entered tbo
acred home, to make their little home,
where the sparrow nnd the swallow
did, as recorded in the eighty-fourth
I'salm. The pastor could not resist so
pretty an Intrusion and did not dis
turb the nests and. wlusi one- of the
birds Hew In before the close of tho
Korvlce, nothing Mas clout- to frighten
it. nnd the nest icinatned. The red
hreasts arc Incoming so '.ime that the
gathering of the worshippers and the
miihie. and noises of the service on
Sunday iloes not frlshtui them awny.
The sitting bird would stay, quickly
blooding her eggs, while the pastor
was preaching almost directly over her
head. After the robblns were hatched
the male bird would fly in with woniu
in his bill to feed thorn, nnd his com
ing never disturbed th' pastor's s-er-inon.
This pleasant partnership will
Inst until the full-fledged young are
nblo to leave the church and trust to
their own new wings. The people feel
that the bird have brought n, blessing
with them, and will be sorry when they
go away.

long to an adjolnlrg neighbor, an
they Insist upon taking a daily walk
over this man's premises. For several
seasons he has endeavored to put In a
garden, but, owing to the feathered
pests, he has been unsuccessful. He
threatened to slay those chickens a
dozen times, and once dl.l get a gun
an I do a little drmnge to thtlr num
bers, lut still they came. At last he
hit upon a plan. Going to a. printing
olllce he had th'n following printed up
on cards. In black letters:
if you don't keep your chickens
home I will murder avery one of them."
These curds, he attached to a piece
of strlnsr, on one end of which was a
kernel of corn. Ho then distributed
the cards liberally around his premise?,
and. ns each chicken returned home,
with one of the warnings attached, tin
cards had the deslrod effect. The next
day a. wagon load of new lumber wa?
delivered on his neighbor's lot, and
the sound of hammer and saw told of
the erection of a new chleke;. cocp.

RACED WITH THE FLAMES.
Snmuol IIoiiHcr'N Thrilling Bide
Across u Burning .Mountain,
Stroudsburg, April 7. Says the
Times: Samuel Houser, vh6 lives on
Foxtown Hill, had a thrilling experi
ence on Bunday. Ho wns driving home
from Johnsonvllle. Northamnton coun
ty, nnd whllo crossing the mountain,
which was on lire at some points, the
wind freshened Into a semi-gale, caus-
Ing the flames to make rapid headway
in his direction. Houser heard tho
cracKiniK ui mo miming lorest ami
looking back saw the fire was almost
upon hlni. Whipping his horso Into a
gallop he began a race for life.
The howling of the wind and tho
roar of the flames made a noise he will
never forget. His horse seemed to real
ize the danger threatening his master
and galloped along at a lively pace. A
stumble would have been certain death
and Houser held his animal to Its work
with grim desperation. A lull In the
wind for several minutes served to ln-
crease his lead over' tho . fire. Ho
made most of It, nrrlvlng nt the foot
of the mountain In safety.
Hotiser. who cares to say little about
hi race with fire, does not wish for a
repetition ot such a dangerous experience.

Jmt What Hi I'mRl!" Incandescent
.Mniitlo I5 .Made OT.
t'ntll quite recently, say-t I'npula.
Science News, the composition of tho
light-giving body employed In Wols
t.ach's Incandescent lights has been a
piofour.d secret. The process employed
In the manufacture of these bodies it
hald to be substantially m follows:
Knitted cotton tubes, mu do for this
purpose, nie Impregnated with a thir
ty per cent, aqueous solution of a mlx
tuie of ninety-nine per cent, of thai-turn
iiltrat" and one per cent, of cerium ni
trate diled and Ignited. The morest
trace of cerium o.xlde l suflleli.-it to
render the light both bright and bril
liant. An Incandescent body made ot
pure eeiium-oxlde emits a light vary
ing from a blood red to an orange col
or; hence It will be seen, and expert -r
cuts have satisfactorily demonstrat
ed the fact, that the most servicable
lMht Is produced by n mixture of the
two substances thorium nnd tviiuin
nnd In the above-named proportions.
The body thus obtaiue.1 l.s soft and
mnllenblc, but becomes hard on being
hent( d by a gas burner constructed cs
pce tally for this purpose. During this
cpeintloii, the characteristic cone-like
shape Is Impnrted to it. The weight
of the average Incandescent body Is
about 0.r gram, from which It would
appc:r that the quantity ot. the salts
employed In their manufacture Is con
siderable; but, since the number In
nc-tual use Is said to be thirty millions,
It will icudlly be conceived that the to
tal nggtegate quantity of halts thus
annually expended is by no means
small and unlmportint commercially.
The mine rnh used In tha production
of these salts r.ro thorite and organlte,
found In Norway, and monazlte, found
In the United States nnd South Ameri
ca. The former of these tw: sub
Ktniice!! Is composed of almost pure
thoilum oxide, whereas thf? latter con
tains from four to five per ?ent. only,
nnd as much as fifty per cent, ot cer
ium cylde.
PRICKS or AXCIKNT STATICS.
The Old-Time Sculptors .Hunt Ilnyo
Pnirly Kcvclcd in Wealth.
The prices sculptors receive for their
work today are sometimes thought,
says the Art Interchange, to be high
In comparison with what Is received
by painters. But when the highest
prices paid to the sculptors are com
pared with those paid for famous
statues in ancient times they seem mere
trifles. The famous Colossus of
Khodes, a bronze statue which rose to
tho height of about one hundred and
five feet, cost 300 talents, which tak
ing the Attic talent, equals $225,000, or
by tho other talent, which Is more prob
able, $510,000. Then there was the fu
raou.i Colussus of the Sun, a bronze
figure of Apollo, forty-flvo feet high,
which cost 500 talents, equal to $375,000.
But tho vnltia of both of these colossnl
works sinkc Into Insignificance when
compared with the price paid for a
colossal statue of Mercury, made by
Enodoras for tho city of Avernl, in
Gnu!. The cost of this colossal work
was $1,075,000, and occupied the sculp
tor for ten years. The great statue of
Athena, which Phidias made for the
Parthenon at Athens, was also an ex
pensive work, but the exact amount
paid by the state Is not known. It was
richly adorned with Ivory and gold,
costing vast sums. The ancient writ
ers aic equally silent ns to the aggre
gate oaid to Phidias for the statue of
Jupiter at Olympla but they do tell us
something as to details.
The unalloyed gold on the movable
drapery on tho Athena, we are told by
Thucydides. was over forty talents In
weight, which would equal In value
$."80,000 In coin, while a single lock on
tho hend of Jupiter represented a value
of about $25,000. Even when gold was
not employed, hnndsome prices were
paid to the artists for their work. For
the famous statue, the Dladumenos, a
bronze figure of life size, repiesentlng
a youth tying a fillet around his head,
Polycletus received what would equal
about $125,000.

WHY SO MANY REGULAR PHYSICIANS FAIL
To Gu.ro Fomalo Ilia Somo True. Roaoona Why
Mrs. Plnklmm is Moro Bucoosami
tho Family Doctors.
A woman Is sick ; somo dUiaso peculiar to her
bc.x is fust developing In her system. She goes
to her family physician unit tells him a
story, but not tho whole story. '
Shcholdssomclhlngbnck, loses her licnd,
becomes agitated, forgets whut she wants
to say, nnd ilnally conceals what alio
ought to have told, nnd thus completely
mystifies tho doctor.
Is It any wonder, therefore, that
tho doctor fails to euro tho disease?
Still, we cannot blame tho wo
man, forltis very embarrassing
to detuil some of tho symp
toms of her suffering, even to
her family physician.
It was for this reuson that
years ago Mrs. Lydia U. l'lnk-
ham, at Lynn, Mass., determined to step In nndhclplicr sex. ITaving had consid
erable experience In treating female Ills with her Vegetable Compound, she en
couraged the women of America to write to her for advice In regard to their
complaints, nnd, being a woman, it was easy for her ailing sisters to pour into
her cars every detail of their suffering.
In this way she was able to do for them what the physicians wero unable
to do, simply because she had tho proper Information to work upon, uud
from the little group of women who sought her advice years ago a great
nrmy of her fellow-beings aro to-day constantly applying for advice and re
lief, and the fact that more than one hundred thousand of them have been
successfully treated by Mrs. l'inkhnm during the lust year is indicative of
tho gruud results which tire produced by her unciualcd experience and
training.
No physician In the world has had such a training, or has such an amount
of information nt linnd to nssist in the treatment of all kinds of female ills,
from the simplest local Irritation to tho most complicated diseases of the womb.
This, therefore, is the reason why Mrs. l'inkhnm, In her laboratory at
Lynn, Mass., Is able to do more for the ailing women of America thi'n the
family physician. Any woman, therefore, is responsible for her own suffering
who will not take the t roil bio to write to Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
The testimonials which wo are constantly publishing from grateful women
establish beyond a doubt the power of Lydia' 13. l'inkhaui's. Vegetable Com
pound to conquer female diseases.

Had times been good and money plenty we would not
have one pair of these expensive, real lace curtains on hand
that we bought at the Bankrupt Stock of Kerr, Sou & Co.
But money is tight and imitatioiis have the field, because
they look well at a distance and cost little money.
Well, the Spring Curtains, including Cluuy, Brussels,
and Point Laces, Orientals, Reuuaissauce, Marie Antoinette
and other hierh class curtain have staid with us. We must
came to this city at common
but there's no help for it.
