AVOCA.
It Is now almost a week since the
employes nt tho silk mill Initiated a
Btrlko and Mnco then everything- re
mains unchanged. Mr. Ashley came up
fiom Hiickcttstovvn, listened to the
committee appointed to state their
gtlovnnces, and emphatically refused
to accede to their demands. He lost
no tltno In icturnlng to his home, feel
ing, perhaps, that his presence is not
requited In Avoea white he pays three
or four overseers for that purpose. In
this he Is mistaken. It might pay Mr.
Ashley to spend a few months In Avoca
nnd Investigate the condition of affairs.
There would then be less cause for the
wrongs that tho employes complain of.
It Is not enough that ni. girl receives
only $2 per week In the mill, but when

"Ignorance of the law does not excuse
Bttltt." It Is thee fundamental facts in
the operntlons of natural law that make it
possible for a woman who enters the mar
riage relation with llic full sanction of the
law of the land and love of her heart, to be
condemned to an awful life of servitude
and suffering.
Don't let her smile deceive you. She has
trained herself to bear what she looks upon
as part of the burden of her state.
The underlying reason of this sad con.
ditlon of affairs Ts Ignorance. The younf?
girl grows to womanhood ignorant of her
physical needs and dangers. When a ord
might save her ears of suffering, modesty
bids ner keep silent, sue loves anil mar
ries and enters upon the marriage state
with all its obligations to the unborn,
handicapped by conditions that make life
a burden to herself and a menace to her
offspring,
what can be done to correct irregularties
resulting from neglect, to restore the dis
placed organs to a natural and healthy con
dition, to eivc back vitality to a system
drained by disease, to re-attune the great
HARP OF TUB NI'.RVbS
to divine melody after the jears of dis
cord? It was the endeavor to answer these
questions that gave to the world Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Presctiption, the most effective
remedy ever compounded for the ills and
ailments peculiar to the delicate feminine
organization.
Ity the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Trc
scription the drains that debilitate the sys
tem are promptly stopped Inflammation
and ulceration are quickly cured. Dis.
orders of the womb and the organs sym-
fiathctic with it are overcome, and woman
s put into a condition where the functions
of nature are her pleasure as well as her
privilege. In this condition children are
bom without anxiety as almost without
pain. The elasticity Imparted to the organs
of parturition practically does away with
the pangs of childbirth. Vitality is im
parted which makes the nursing of the
child a delight instead of a drain, and the
robust child sharing the strength of the
mother grows day by clay in health and
beauty. Contrast this plain statement of
fact with the condition of -a many women
who anticipate motherhood, worn-out, suf
fering, feaiful, anxious, bringing children
into the world with reluctant suffering and
rearing them painfully through a sickly
childhood. Can any wotds speak for Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription like these
facts that are part or tlie sum ol puiit

MAR OF THE DARK.
Nervous Children Should Not Be
Ridiculed, but Treated Wisely.
From tho Philadelphia Record.
It Is so natural to laugh at tho
strange Imaginings of children, nnd to
ridicule their fear of tho dark, but
mothers should renli that this Is a
matter needing serious consideration.
There Is a great difference in children,
of course; some nro naturally nervous
and timid, while others show very lit
tle hesitancy about going to bed nlono
In a daik room If they have hnil wlsa
training from babyhood. Hut with tho
majority of ehlldten tho great bug.
bear In their lives Is this fear of the
dark. Little folks as bravo us lions
when tho sun shines become nrrnnt
cownrdn when rooms grow shadowy
and strange forms loom tin In dusky
corners. As the yeats go on this fear
keeps pace with their growth, and
even when maturity Is reached they
still drond unllghled apartments with
an overpowering fear, tho secret of
which they cannot even tctl to them
selves. This terror, that Is actually a species
of real misery, can often tic traced
either dltectlv or Indirectly to tho
weird tales told by nutses to their
small charges or the threats of dan
gers that lurk In dark tooms If a child
Is naughty or disobedient. ' The bl-r
dark" becomes an ogre ready to oat
them up, and twilight s-eoms n pteal
thy, foul Mend, sulking In their wake,
v Ith nil sorts of mysterious devIcM
with which to frighten and to punish
them.
Mnny grown persons cannot sleep In
a loom unless a dim llpht Is binning.
Thoy do not acknowledge that It Is
fear of tho dark that makes the faint
glimmer a neeesaty adjunct of peace
ful repose, vet such Is the case: .and It
tMy were to toll the occasion for such
a fear It could be sifted down to the
root of tho matter and the bugaboo
stoiles of childhood held responsible.
Strange ns It may appear, It Is the
children themselves who actually revet
In the tales of ghostly vlltatlons,
clanking chains, fleiv eos nnd ImlUir
attractions that make them shudder,
yet which have such a vvoltd fascina
tion for them that the person pos
sessed of a stock of such legends is
In most demand. Notwithstanding
this mot bid taste, pnients should look
to It that the mental appetite of their
children Is not pandered to by stories
that, while they are fascinatingly hor
rible at tho time, leave Impressions on
heart and mind that tend to weaken
tho moral chniacler, as well as causing
them many an hour of actual misery
In days to come.
When a child begins to exhibit an
unncrotintnble fear of the dark trv
soothing It to sleep with a song In a
darkened room, and the habit may bo
foimed from early babyhood ot put
ting the child to bed In the datk It
everything Is In readiness before tho
baby Is taken to the room, and tho
light then put out and the little ono
Is taken Into the room and tucked Into
bed In the dark, and the mother or
nurso remains to sing the little one
to sleep without rocking. Ilut If a
chilli Is rocked to sleep each night In
a lighted room until It grows out of
babyhood, and is then expected to
form entirely new habits. It will bo
nctuiil cruelty to epect It to go boldly
Into the dark room alone each night
and fall asleep In the midst of fearful
Imaginings that the mere contrast
from light to darkness Is sure to form,
even without the assistance, of ghostly
tales. Harly training and patient help
to ovetcome mot hid nervousness will
help the timid children to overcome
this childish fear, which might other
wise develop Into actual cowardice
later In life.

HORRORS OF LONELINESS.

10 Speak To

In his nairatlve of his .solltaty voyage

Captain Joshua Hlocutn desctlbes his
attempts to oveieonie the sense of lone

Cm the evening of July 5 tho Spray,
after having steered all day over a
lumpy sen, took It Into her head to go

A
Death of an Old Soldior.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Plttston, Feb, 4. Thomas S. Young,
nged 53 years, of Parsonage stieet,
died Friday night after a lingering Ill
ness of a complication of diseases, lie
hud been a resident of Plttston forty-
three years and had a taige circle of
friends. He was a man of lino phy
sique and his soldierly beat Ing made
him a familiar figure. He served
three years In Battery Q, Fifth United
States artillery, duilng the Civil wnr;
was a member of Nugent Post, O. A,
it.; Falling Springs lodge, Knights of
Pythias; Plttston Castle, Knights of
Golden Eagle; Plttston lodge, Indepen
dent Order of Odd Fellows: Slocum
council, Junior Order United Ameri

sprit, wns tho smiling full moon Using
out of the sea. Neptune himself com
ing over the bows could not have star
tled me more. "Good evening, sir," I
cried; "I'm glad to see you." Many a
long talk since then 1 have had with
the man In tho moon; ho had my con
fidence on the vojage.
About midnight the fog shut down
again denser than ever befoie. Ono
could almost "stnnd on it." It con
tinued so for a number of duys, tho
wind Increasing tn a gale. The waves
lose high, but I had a good ship. Still,
In the dismal tog I telt mjself di If ting
Into loneliness, an Insect on it stiaw In
the midst of the elements. I lashed the
helm, and my vessel held her coutse,
and while she sailed I slept.
Duilng these das a feeling of awe
ctept over me. My memoiy worked
with startling power. The ominous,
tho Insignificant, the gieat. the small,
the vvondeiful, the commonplace all
appealed befoie my mental vision in
magical succession. Pages of my his
tory wete recalled which had been so
long foigotten that they seemed to be
long to a pievlous existence. I heard
all the voices of tho past laughing,
cr.vlng. telling what I had heard them
tell In many cot nets, of the enith.
Tho loneliness of my state wore off
when the gale was high and I found
much woik to do. When the fine
weather returned, then came the sene
of solitude, which I then could not
shnke off, I used my voice often nt
Hist, giving some order about the af
falis of a ship, for I had been told that
otheiwlse I should lose my speech. At
tho meildlan altitude of tho sun I
called aloud, "Eight bells," after the
custom on a ship at sen. Again from
my cabin I cried to an Imaginary man
at the helm, "How does she head,
there?" and again, "Is she on her
couiso?" Hut getting no reply, I wns
reminded tho more palpably of my con
dition. My voice sounded hollow on the
empty nlr, and I dropped the practice,
However, It wus not long befoie the
thought came to me that when I was a
lad I used to sing; why not try that
now, vvhero It would disturb no one?
My musical talent had never bred envy
In others, but out on tho Atlantic, to
realize what It meant, you should have
heard mo sing. Vou .should huvo seen
the porpoises leap when I pitched my
voice for the waves and the sea and all
that was In It. Old turtles with largo
eyes, poked their heads up out of tho
sea as I sang "Johnny Hoker,' 'and
"Wei'll Pay Dai by Doyl for His Roots,"
and tho like. But tho porpoises were,
on the whole, vastly more appreciative
than the turtles; they Jumped a deal
higher. One day when I was humming
a favorite chant, I think It was "Haby.
Ion's a-Fallln'," a porpoise Jumped
higher than tho bowsprit. Had the
Spiay been going a llttlo faster she
would havo scooped him In. The sea
birds salted n round rather shy.
Mothers Too Often Deny Their Chil
dren This Pleasure.
Trom Harper's llaraar.
The mother who would have her chil
dren healthy must lot bo afialel to
have them occasionally dlity. While
cleanliness Is akin to godliness, theie
Is a certain (Hit that comes fiom con
tact with tho sweet eaith that Is
wholesome. Have the little ons
bathed frequently. Insist that they
come to meals with Immaculate hands
and faces, but between meals huvv
them so dressed that thev are freo to
run and romp as they will.
An over-careful mother of an only
child complained that her baby whs
pale and delicate. He asked to see the
child, and the nurse hi ought In the 2-
eat -old from the veranda, wheie i
hud been seated on a rug, looking at
a plcturu book. His dainty nnln.sook
frock was spotless, as were also the
pink kid boots and silk socks.
"What the child needs Is wholesome
dirt," was the phvslilan's vetdlct.
"Put n gingham fiock and plain shoo
on him and turn him loose on the l.iwn
or In the frsh earth. If he Is not
losy nnd happy In :i month let mo
know."
At tho expiration of the prescribed
time the babv was traiffot tiled. The
eye that had been heavy wete btlght
the skin had acquit eil a healthful
glow, I he aims nnd tegs weio plump,
and the languid, tiled llttlo patient
had become u rollicking boy. Tin
fieedom. fresh nlr and dean dirt had
in a month's time wioiisrht a greater
change in the child's system than all
tho skill of tho medical fiatemlty
could have, effected.
Motheis who take their Utile fi hoot
bos and pills away for vacation
should let them romp at will out of
doois fish In the hiools, l lite on the
hay, and wear stiong nho"? and cloth
tno'iif which thev need not bf too
careful. A child Is much happier If
untrammeled by too many 'dent's."
And the mcthor I1 happier, too. If she
neede not say "don't" every hour lu
tho day.
