THE REVIEWER. The Barthnldi statue of Liberty is in good condition, but its surroundings are in bad shape. It is nobody's business to make the place worthy of its name and its fame.—Philadelphia Ledger. California robbers carried off an entire gold mine the other night, jarring it loose from Mother Earth with dynamite. The man who stole a hot stove would be ranked as an awkward amateur in Cali fornia.—Minneapolis Tribune. Already the Germans are becoming iired of the conflict in China, and it is not to be wondered at that the British public would welcome nothing more eagerly than news of a settlement of the South African trouble. —Denver Republican. Apparently there is more truth than wit lu the quips that have been made about Turkey's financial condition. Izzet Pasha, Turkish minister at Madrid, has again tendered his resignation on account of nonpayment of his salary.—Pittsburg Dispatch. A young woman in New Jersey broke off her engagement on her weilding day because she found the prospective groom bad deceived her as to his prospects in life.

It is now charged that the stone out of which the postoffiee is being constructed is bad and that granite blocks with holes in them have been built into the struc ture. The stone contractors, however, should not be harshly judged. The holes in the stone may be due to decay since the structure was begun.—Chicago News. The new steel double decked ferryboat Chicago was launched at New York the other day. The new boat is the largest of its kind in New York harbor and will ply at Cortlandt street ferry.

For the first time in its history the British Church Missionary society lias passed the £400,000 point in its annual receipts. A feature of some 50 Congregational churches are men's clubs which aim to keep up good fellowship and secure con certed action on matters of municipal re form.

If you do not like vice and crime, change the light. If you look into a tnir ror and see a dirty face, do you wash the fac© of the mirror? I do not want a press which shows up the virtues of humanity and not 'h faults, but let us havi th, t in whole truth and nothing but the truth.— Dr. L yman Abbott. Despite the defects of the Ameriean press it holds up a mirror of the whole world's affairs. The mirror may ie>t be the right kind, but its tendency is to lead the people to self consciousness. THE COOKBOOK. Do not pat or smooth down mashed potatoes, as it makes them heavy. A delicious cake filling is made from chopped figs mixed with crabapple oi apple jelly.

The loss is difficult to estimate; it may reach one hundrtd thousand dollars. It is feared that the loss is not wholly covered. During Friday the plant was fairly besieged by a curious crowd of sight seers. The scene presented was a deso late one, indeed. The tire has eaten out the very heart of the big structure,leaving in its path a tangled mass of charred timbers, bent and broken steam pipe and gearing. In the ruins lie no less than six steam en gines, three of them large ones, used to operate the bar, skelp and old puddle mills, respectively; others burned over were smaller engines used respectively to run the fan, the saw and the squeezer in the puddle mill. David Thomas, superintendent of the Reading Iron Woi ks, was interviewed on Friday. Mr. Thomas estimates the loss at nearly SIOO,OOO. Questioned as to in surance, he replied that that matter is wholly in the hands of the Reading of lice and he did not feel prepared to make a statement. It was rumored, however, among insurance men Friday that Ihe amount ot insurance on the portion of the mill burned is less than $50,000. A FRIEND'S ADVICE Will Often Help You Greatly. Read What a Danville Citizen Says. You may hesitate to listen to the ad vice of strangers, but the testimony of friends < >r residents of Danville is worth your most careful attention. It is an easy matter to investigate such proof as this. Then the evidence must be con clusive. Read the following. Mrs. Edward Lunger of 11 Church street, says:"l suffered so much from pain im my back that I could not sleep nights. The pain over my hips was con tinuous and when on my feet it was one steady gnawing ache. It hurt me to do anything requiring bending over, and the sharp twinges would catch me so suddenly that I had to brace my back against something until they stopped. The kidney secretions annoyed me and headaches accompanied the backache. 1 read about Doan's Kidney Pills and in the statements of those who had been cured the symptoms were so much like mine that my husband procured a box for me. They did me more good than any medicine I ever tried. I no longer hail any backache and was free from any embarrassment caused from the se cretions. I can honestly recommend Doan s Kidney Pills to others suffering as I did." For sale by all dealers. Price -TO cts. Foster Milbnrn Co., Buffalo, N. Y., sole agents for the U. S.

In making a choice of flowers for an entertainment the color scheme of one's rooms should be first taken into account and only such varieties o< flowers used as will harmoniously blend with it. A red dining room is effectively deco rated with American Beauty roses or the ordinary red roses, or, if one cannot af ford such expense, red carnations may be substituted. The candle shades, cakes, bonbons, Ices, etc., can easily be made to carry out the color scheme. When asked as to what flowers he sold the most of for decorating purposes at night, a fashionable florist replied that he had orders for all kinds, with the possi ble exception of violets. These dainty lit tle flowers should only be used for lunch eons or other functions in the daytime, as they are too somber by artificial light. Bennty SReep. Nearly all of the great beauties of the world have testified to the value of sleep. Under its Influence every muscle Is relaxed and all care dispelled. The heart beats slower, gaining new vigor for the waking hours. A midday nap, if only of a few minutes' duration, is wonderful ly refreshing, and it is generally conceded that sleep during the earlier hours of the night is far more beneficial than that ob tained after midnight. What does it profit a women if she gains the whole world of knowledge and lose her own health? Young women students, and school teachers, eager, ambitious, and full of energy, very often neglect their health in the struggle to gain education. They eat insufficient food, at irregular hours, they allow irregularity of the womenlv functions to be established, and the result is that they become chronic invalids with all their education practically worth less. There is a plain road back to health for such as these, marked by the feet of thousands. It is the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for diseases of the stomach and digestive and nutritive organs, and Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for diseases of the delicate organs of womanhood. A cure so certainly follows the use ot these remedies that out of hundreds of thous ands who have tried the treatment, ninety-eight in every hundred have been perfectly and permanently cured. Constipation, with its calaminous con sequences, which is a common ailment of students, can lie entirely cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Among tue puonc servants wno are worried by foolish questions the super intendent of mails in the postoffiee gets his full share. One of his visitors on a certain occasion was a man who said to the deputy who answered the call at the window: "I am going out of town today and want to get a letter to my brother, who Is on board the Majestic, and she is not due until Wednesday. I don't know where he will stay In New York or where be will go from here. Can you help me?" "Certainly we can," said the clerk. "A mailboat goes to meet the steamer, and if you address your letter properly and put domestic postage on it It will be delivered all right." "But how shall I address It—where shall I send it?" "Address It 'John Smith, passenger on board Incoming steamer Majestic, due In New York, Dec. 12.' That will reach him." "No city? No nothing?" "That's all—Just as I told you." The man thanked the clerk and went away, and came back a little later with an addressed letter In his hand. "Say," he said to the clerk, "about that letter. I've addressed It and stamped it all right, but the man's name isn't John Smith. llow about that?"— New York Tribune.

The late Professor Sbuttleworth of London was particularly fond of telling how, wben he once acted as locum tenens in Devonshire, he had to pro claim the banns of marriage of a young yokol and a village maid. A fortnight later the young swain called at the professor's lodgings. "You put up the banns for me," he said. "Yes, I remember," replied Mr. Sbuttleworth. "Well," inquired the .yokel, "has it got togo on?" "What do you mean?" asked the pro fessor. "Are you tired of the girl?" "No," was the unexpected answer, "but I like her sister better." "Oh, if the original girl doesn't mind, you can marry her sister." "But should I have to be 'called' again?" "Certainly, that's necessary," an swered Mr. Sbuttleworth. "But should I have to pay again?" "Yes, it would cost you three and six pence." "Oh, would it?" rejoined the yokel after reflect ion. "Then I'll let It re main ns it is."

HEISTREMPE, J, ON A JAPANESE RAILROAD. Maeh Eating and Smoking Mark the Journey* of the Natives. The second and third class railroad car riages give the foreigner an opportunity to study life of the Japanese people. On entering the first thing one notices is that white lines are drawn across the glass windows, and upon inquiry the informa tion is elicited that some of the people who travel in the cars are unused to glass, which perhaps they have never seen before, and that they are apt to put their heads through if there is nothing to indicate that a substance bars the way. In cold weather all Japanese travelers carry rugs, for the cars are heated merely by long steel cylinders filled with hot wa ter and laid on the floor. Since the pas sengers are always pulling open the win dows, Japanese cars in midwinter are a menace to the health of every individual who has become used to an even tempera ture within doors. The smallest incident of travel Is enough to break the ice, and if a person has a wrong ticket or has lost anything it is a matter of Interest and solicitude for everybody else. Many of the passen gers are apt to behave with the same un restrained freedom as in their own homes. If they are starting on a long journey, they at once proceed to make themselves as comfortable as possible. A rug is spread out on the seat, for they are very particular never to sit on anything that is not perfectly clean. Then they shake off their geta, or wooden clogs, and curl their feet up underneath. The next thing is a smoke, in which both men and women in dulge, sometimes lighting cigarette after cigarette, but more often they use the tiny Pipe, which never contains more to bacco than a Wisp the size of a pea and affords one, sometimes two puffs to the smoker. The ash is then knocked out on the floor and another wisp stuffed in and lighted from the smoldering ash which has just been thrown away. This is kept up, off and on, for hours. When not smoking, eating is going on. At every station there are venders of the little mandarin oranges. Every passen ger buys a dozen or more and eats them in a short time, throwing the skins about the floor. Boys pass by with tea in tiny earthen pots, a cup placed over the top, and this may be purchased for 3 sen (a cent and a half), and the teapot is left in the car. Besides leaning out of the car windows to buy these, the passengers have little wooden boxes filled with lunch. In the upper part is closely packed rice, in the lower are all sorts of little pickles and bits of cake. Attached are two wooden chopsticks. The Japanese throw all sorts of refuse about, and from the appearance of a car after the passengers have been In it for a little while one would imagine that the people are very untidy in their way of living. Porters enter at some of the sta tions and brush up whole panfula of ref use, and on some lines of the road a spall boy in a spruce uniform comes to the car door at each stop, with a clothes brush in his band, makes a deep bow to the occupants and Inquires if there is anything that they want—New York Sun. ANTIQUE TIMEPIECES. The Fascination Thar Hold For All Sorts of People. Ancient clocks and watches seem to have a singular fascination for all sorts of people. Philip the Cruel of Spain is said to have had more than a thousand in his famous collection, and the late George W. Childs of Philadelphia, who was as kindly and gentle as the Spanish monarch was inhuman, was equally de voted to the fad. In this city several curio dealers make a speciality of ven erable timepieces and keep a list of those which they can secure from private owners when the occasion requires. "The demand for these goods," s«ld one of these merchants, "is of a varied nature. One type of customer wants an old clock to give an air of dignity or of comfort to a hall or sitting room. Noth ing, in fact, is sleepier than a huge Dutch ball clock six feet high, which ticks like a blacksmith beating an anvil and which rings an old fashioned gong bell. Anoth er type enjoys polite deception and Im poses a purchase as a time honored heir loom. "A third type purchases clocks which are marked by high beauty and artistic finish. Some of the ancient constructions were made by artists and cannot be sur passed, if equaled, by those of today. This is especially true of those which came from the workshops of famous French, Flemish and Italian designers. Clocks of this class always command high prices and may be considered works of art ruther than mere timekeepers. The fourth type seems to have no particular idea in their fad. They want old time pieces and ask DO questions as to their works, their beauty or their historical connection. If a clock is a century old, well and good; if it is two centuries old, so much the better, and if it is three cen turies they are beside themselves with de light. "There are a few who purchase watch es and clocks for historical associations. Of these the number Is much larger than is usually supposed, and it grows every day. The greater attention paid to his tory and biography has helped the move ment, as has also the practice of giving exhibitions and making gifts to museums and learned societies." —New York Post Horace Greeley'* Lavish War. Horace Greeley was lavish in his gifts, often to most unworthy recipients, and was sensitive when admonished on the subject by even his closest friends, says a writer In Success. Ho loaned thou sands of dollars to a scapegrace son of Commodore Vanderbilt, and when Van derbilt appealed to him to stop it Gree ley courtly closed the conversation by saying he did not expect the commodore to pay the loan. In one of the man's conversations I had with him in his dingy office in the old Tribune building I ventured to suggest that ho was a more generous giver than his means justified, to which he answer ed: "Well, I guess that's so, but I can't stop it. I am like the southern planter who, after spending the proceeds of his crop in winter reveling, closed up the ac count by selling a slave. I do it by sell ing a share in The Tribune." He origi nally owned nearly or quite one-half of the paper. When he died, he bad but one share remaining of the 100. Medical Attendance Half Prloe.

Nearly one-fourth of Mexico's foreign trade was handled through the port of Tampico last year. The 20 Mexican banks reported in the government reports show a combined capital of $70,000,000. The foreign trade in Mexico, both im port and export, now amounts to an an nual value of $140,000,000. The public debt of Mexico amounts to $115,178,012 payable in gold and $123,- 118,982.20 payable Iti Mexican silver. Last year Mexico manufactured 376,- 000,000 packages of cigarettes and 119,- 000,000 cigars. This is an increase of 10 per cent over the previous year. The Mexican army of more than 25,000 men is supported upon a trifle more than a million Mexican dollars a month. The Mexican congress does not cost a mil lion dollars a year. Henequen will continue to be Mexico's most important article of agricultural export for a good many years to come. The value of this fiber shipped during the last fiscal year was over $26,000,000. Coffee comes next in importance, with a value for the export crop of nearly sll,- 000,000.—Modern Mexico. PERT PERSONALS.

An oniou for soup should be stuck with cloves and added after the stock has been skimmed. Sardines dipped in boiling water, skin ned, boned and pounded in a mortar make excellent sandwiches. An addition to the list of sauces served with vanilla or banana ice cream is pine apple sauce. The sauce is made with the shaved fruit cooked in sugar as for pre serving. Pineapple used in the place of lemon in tea is a little out of the ordinary. Either the fresh fruit or that which has been preserved may be used, and a very little in a cup of tea has the effect of a cordial. FLOWER AND TREE. A new species of nasturtium, whose distinctive feature is its profusion and continuous flowering, has been developed in the greenhouses of the University of Nebraska, where experiments have long been in progress. Plants need a good deal more water as the days grow longer and warmer than they do in midwinter. They should be given all they can make use of.
