It Is probably now too late for this

niceties of common p liteness. Old

[WORK RAPIDLY
PROGRESSING j
New Mill at Beading Iron Wsrks Shows
ap Imposingly Half Eone.
During the several days of pleasant '
weather excellent progress has been ;
made by the carpenters at the new mill
of the Reading Iron Works. About one
half of the structure taking place of the i
mill burned is now under roof. This
includes three spans, 83, 75 and 50 feet
wide, with a lean-to on the north and
south sides. The new structure already
begins to show up quite imposingly. In
the old mill there was a large middle
span with a lean-to north and south In
the new structure the three spans are of
equal height making the building ap
pear higher and much more massive in
appearance.
The lumber for the new mill has now
all arrived except what is needed for
the lean-to. on the north side, which
will be occupied by the roll shop. There
are some fifty carpenters employed at
present, with about half as many labor
ers. Nothing is needed now, therefore,
hut agreeable weather to push the work
speedily toward completion.
From present indications it is not like
ly, however, that the mill will be readx
cor operation much before spring. An
mmense amount of work still remains
obe done in addition to the carpenter
work. Much delay may be occasioned
by the steam, water and blast pipes
;vhich remain to be installed. This

Bladder troubles most always result from
a derangement of the kidneys and a cure is
obtained quickest by a proper treatment of
the kidneys. If you are feeling badly you
can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's
.Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and
biadder remedy.
It corrects inability to hold urine and scald
ing pain in passing it, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being compelled to
go often during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
lealized. It stands tne highest for its won

Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and sold
by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar

Silk Kroni Spiders.
The Rllkworm Is In a bad way. Rome
years ago it had the monopoly of sup
plying us with silk. Then the wily in
ventor found a way of extracting sill; |
from wood, though of course the silk- j
worm does this, only in an indirect j
way. Now it is threatened by a spe- >
cles of spider which has been found in
Madagascar. The spiders spin away 1
merrily and have no objection to their
produce being stolen from them. In I
fact, tbe process is said to give them
an appetite. If these insects are not
mere freaks of nature, the silkworm
may soon have to shut up shop
Teaching and tnnnnlty.
Professor Zimmer of Berlin said in a

for the Shopictrla.
Congratulations are In order. For
years it has been the thought of work
ing women and those interested In j
their welfare that the shopping hours
were too long. They made a demand j
far too great upon the powers of the
clerks and girls behind the counter.
But nothing apparently could be done 1
unless the consciences of all women
could be roused to the need of a
change. It Is therefore with real gratl- j
tude that the women of Philadelphia
welcome the effort that Wanamaker's ,
store Is making toward this needed
reform.
This shop Is now closed every day at :
5:30 Instead of »3. thus giving a half
hour's rest daily, a benefit which counts
up rapidly In the mouth.
This is a step In the right direction,
and tbe way to prevent any retrograde
movement and to Induce other stores
to follow this example Is to be strict
with ourselves and do no shopping lat
er than 5 o'clock. A little self control,
a little forethought, will produce the
deßlred result.
Shopping women will themselves feel
the benefit of a rule which sends I hem
home to a half hour's rest before din
ner and forces them to leave the shop 9

sets are mere gaudy trash. Buy each j
