For thousands of years men have been making brick out of clay, and pretty good brick, too, says the New York Tribune. Hut recently a new kind has come into vogue. It is coin posed chiefly of quartz sand bound to gether with a small amount of lime. In the process of manufacture the com pound is subjected to the influence of steam at high pressure. When proper ly made, this brick is said to be hard, waterproof and able to resist the ac tion of acids. A lack of uniformity in the quality has been noticed, however. "Limestone brick," which are made in cold, wet weather, seem to give less satisfaction than those produced under other meteorological conditions. But there is now promise that this difficulty will soon be obviated. A con sular report from Germany announces that a Zurich chemist, Wilhelm Schwartz, has found a way to get good results every time. The secret lies In controlling the amount of moisture ad mitted to the compound and in main taining the temperature within certain limits for a time. The former part of the process is managed in a vacuum, so that no dampness can he imparted by the atmosphere. Ilerr Schwartz has Invented a machine of his own to do the mixing. Much confidence is ex pressed in the substantial value of the Innovation reported. Anxtort* to J'ry It.

Scores of representative citizens of Danville are testifying on the follow ing subject. Such a record of local en dorsement is nneqnaled in modern times. This public statement made by a citizen is but one of the many that have preceded it and the hundreds that will follow. Read it; Mrs. Nelson Hollister or 611 Mill St., says:—"My son John was always troubl ed with his kidneys, and I was told by one doctor when we lived in Lewisburg that he would always have bother with them. He had pains in his back, could not sleep and the kidney secretions were annoying and embarrassing. There were pains in his head and he was de pressed and dead tired the whole time.

'24. Saturday and Mon day were pay days for the contractors on the Baltimore and Ohio double track at Hyndman, and yesterday that town was almost helpless in the hands of the Italiins and negroes. Monday night Mack McKenzie, a stable boss, was robbed of iftfO and kill ed, there being two bullet holes in his body. Coroner Stoner held an inquest Tuesday and has found a clue which will lead to the arrest of the murderer. Another man, name unknown, was kill ed over a game of craps across the Som erset county line, a few miles west of Hyndman, and the murderer is now in the Somerset jail. Two persons were held up and robbed in the town Monday night and in a fight Tuesday afternoon more than twenty-five shots were ex changed between a colored man and citizens of the town, though no one was injured. More than 300 drunken Italians and negroes were in Hyndman Tuesday and all were armed. Forty Italians left Sun day after a fight between them and the negroes, in which an Italian was badly wounded. The sheriff may be called upon to send a force of deputies. \\ oman is often referred to by man as "doubling his joys and halving his sor rows. " That may be complimentary but it would seem to be rather hard 011 the woman. For in plain terms it means that where things are goiug well with the man his wife makes them go better. But when things are going ill with him, he expects the wife to share half his bur den. And there's more truth than poe- j try in this presentation of masculine selfishness. Men don't appreciate the fact that the strain of motherhood alone is a burden bigger than all the loads that rest upon male shoulders. They see the wife grow thin, pale, nervous and worn without a thought that she is over burdened. Among the pleasant letters received by Dr. Pierce, are those from husbands who have waked up before it was too late to the crushing burdens laid upon the wife, and in the search for help have found in Dr. Pierce's Pre scription a restorative which has given back to the mother the health of the maiden and the maiden's happiness. "Favorite Prescription" always helps, and almost always cures. It has per fectly cured ninety-eight out of every hundred women who have used it when afflicted with diseases peculiar to wom en. Harrisbnrg. Pa., Oct. 24 —There are in timations of interesting developments before the State Methodist convention get through its program today.

A serious and dangerous disease pre vails in this country, dangerous because so deceptive. It conies 011 so slowly yet Burely that it is often firmly seated be fore we are aware of it. The name of this disease which may Vie divided into ihree distinct stages is. First, Kidney trouble, indicated by pain in the back, rheumatism, lumbago, fre quent desire to urinate, often with a burning sensation, the flow of urine be ing copious or scant with strong odor. If allowed to advance, this reaches th« Second stage, or Bladder trouble, with heavy pain in the abdomen low down between the navel and the water pans age, increasing desire to urinate, with scalding sensation in passing,small quan tities being passed with difficulty, some times necessary to draw it with instru ments. If uric acid or gravel has form ed, it will prove dangerous if neglected. The Third stage is Blight's Disease. There is comfort in knowing that Dr. Kilmer, the great kidney and bladder specialist, lias discovered a Remedy fam ous for its marvelous cures of the most distressing cases and known as Dr. Kil mer's Swamp-Root. It is sold by all druggists.

In the little town of Cambria where 1 John Hughes made himself a hero by ! shooting a robber some time ago, the j deepest mystery surrounds the identity I of the dead man as well as his compan-1 | ion. Efforts have been made by several I people of the town to solve the ques tion of identity, but the deeper they go into the case the more perplexing it seems to get. Some of the most deter- j mined of those who have been attempt- j ing to solve the mystery have scoured the surrounding towns with the hopes! of gleaning some facts on the identity j ot the companion of the dead man, but to no avail. The most mysterious part of the dead j stranger is the fact, that in appearance! he looks more like a banker than a bur- j glar. There was not a single make about ; the man's attire to disclose his identity, j His underwear which was of silk, may, however, lead to some clue. He had on importe I hosejhis hat was a fashionable derby, while Ins shoes were of line pat ent leather. Hughes still remains the hero of the ! little hamlet and takes considerable pride in relating the story of the affair to all who ask him. Hallowe'en Next Week.

Suunr Now I'necl With F*rn!t«« I'nttiiiK I'p I'eacheN and Peari. Spring and summer preserving la Important, but autumn's possibilities are tlie richest of the year. The pre paring of peaches, pears, plums, quinces, blueberries (the one fruit which is as good cooked or preserved as raw), besides all the pickling and relish making—the list of delicacies the housewife can make is irresistibly at tractive. There is nothing radically new in methods or results, but there nre always variations of the common ways of making the old specialties. In these days of rich and varied living we feel a digestive recoil from old fashion ed pound for pound preserves, popular tip to a decade ago. "Preserves" today means or should mean one-half to three-fourths of a pound of sugar to one pound of fruit. Canned fruit should be just "sweetened to taste," which should never mean more than one-fourth of a pound of sugar to one pound of fruit. Even jams and mar malades are better if made in the pro portion of two-thirds or three-fourths of a pound of sugar to one pound of fruit instead of pound for pound. Jel lies alone must keep to the old propor tions to give them proper consistency. For any and all preserving, canning and jelly and jam making use only a porcelain lined iron kettle and wooden or silver spoons, says a writer in Wo man's Home Companion, who gives the following among other recipes: Do not waste time, sugar and jars on fruit that is inferior. Fill a wire bas ket holding a coupler of quarts with selected peaches and plunge it into a pot of boiling water, letting it remain from three to five minutes, according to the ripeness of the fruit Remove now and roll out on a platter. Skin and if to be canned drop into hot jars, as no more cooking will be necessary, then cover with boiling hot sirup and seal. Make the sirup of 1% pints of sugar to a quart of water, boiling 15 minutes. Peaches are best when .canned whole, because of the flavor the pit gives them. If halved, four or five pits should be put into each Jar. In pre serving peaches first weigh the4skinned fruit, then get three-fourths of its weight in sugar. Make, a sirup»of this sugar in the proportion of one > pint to one-half pint of water. As soon as it boils skim until clear, add the fruit, which should be halved,.and'cook, nev er allowing it to boil violently, until transparent. The Duchess is perhaps the finest flavored and best pear for putting up. It ripens very late and is of handsome shape and size. There are of course other pears which are excellent for preserving. In either canning or pre serving first wash the 'fruit, .pare, halve and neatly core it aiwl then.lay it on a platter under a wet cloth to .prevent its discoloring. Put all the parings In the preserving kettle and more rthan cover them with cold water. Fit (a steamer over the kettle, putin two* layers of fruit and steam till tender. Riepeat this operation until all is done, adding boil ing water to the parings as it wastes away. When the fruit is cooked, put the parings in a jelly bag and drain off all the juice. Measure this juice and return it to the kettle, adding for can ned pears one-half as much sugar as there Is juice in the kettle and for'pre served pears twice as much sugar. As soon as the sirup has boiled enough-to be skimmed clear drop in as much fruit as can be managed without crowding. Cook ten minutes for canning and until the fruit looks somewhat transparent for preserves. f Cncumbrr Pickle*. Wash and wipe a half peck off small green cucumbers. Pack them ima jar or large bowl, pour over a brine*made with one-half a pint of salt and two quarts of boiling water. Let stand for three days, drain off the brine, heat to boiling, pour again over the cucumbers and let stand for three days longer. Repeat for the third time. On the ninth day drain and wash the cucum bers thoroughly. Cover with four quarts of boiling water in which is dis solved one level tablespoonful of alum and let stand for half a day. Boil to gether for ten minutes four quarts of vinegar, one tablespoonful of broken stick cinnamon, two tablespoonfuls of whole allspice, two tablespoonfuls of whole cloves and four small red pep pers. Keep one quart of this mixture on tlie fire and in it cook for ten min utes as many of the cucumbers as it will cover. When all are done, put them into a stone pot or jar and strain over them the remainder of the spiced vinegar.—Table Talk. New IMccalllll. The old fashioned, ever popular pic calilli is much improved by the addi tion of corn. Add full grown sweet corn cut from the ear during the last hour of cooking, using less green toma to to allow for tills addition. One-third or one-fourth as much corn as tomato should be used, according to Woman's Home Companion. Mnryland Chicken. Roll a disjointed chicken in flour, then salt and pepper, fry until tender and brown in hot pork fat and butter, then drain off all surplus fat and pour MARYLAND CHICKEN. one pint of cream over the chicken, boil up once, arrange chicken on a hot dish, pour over the cream gravy, sur round w ith boiled new potatoes and garnish with parsley, says Woman's Ilouie Companion.
