The indications are that Danville is once more in the zone of "a pleasant spell of weather" and it is expected that by this morning the business com munity will begin to hang its bunting on the outer walls —in other words start the work of decorating. There is not another town in Ceutral Penn sylvania enjoying a greater degree of prosperity at the present time than Danville and it is proper that she should wear her most pleasant aspect on an occasion like the Fourth. It will pay to decorate. It will make Danville talked about and advertise her and the more people hear of this flourishing town the more they wish to see her. It is fair to assume that Mill street will present such a mass of waving color as to utterly eclipse all former efforts in a decorative way.

HOW to I j j; j The Servant i: "V DON'T know why it Is," sighed I old Mrs. Fogeyite, "but I never can keep a girl any length of time. I pay them good enough wages, too; better than most women I know." "Oh, they're a mean, low down, im pudent lot, that's what they are!" cried her friend, young Mrs. Ilighstepper. "They're the curse of the modern home. For my part, I'll be glad when they invent automatic service or co operative housekeeping or some one of those newfangled ideas." "I don't quite agree with you," in ti rp >sed Mrs. Goodhousekeeper gently. "Put yourself In the maid's place," she went on. "Dear ine, how could I?" shivered young Mrs. Ilighstepper disgustedly. "A low, ignorant, uneducated thing!" "And whose fault is that, pray?" retorted Mrs. Goodhousekeeper sharp- LEND HER A BOOK OCCASIONALLY. ly. "Do you think the poor girl had anything to say about what family and what environment she should be born into? Don't you think that if she had been able to choose she would have selected your wealth, your sta tion in life?" Then, turning on Mrs. Fogeyite before the other had time to recover, Mrs. Goodhousekeeper asked, "Would you mind telling me what your last servant left for?" "Why. slie had a string of admirers as long as my arm," said the latter; "at least," correcting her exaggeration, "she had two of them, the butcher and the policeman on the beat, and 1 had all I could do to keep them away. Of course I couldn't have strange men coming to the house. She must ste them on her afternoon off or not at all, and I told her so. Then she left." "Um," commented Mrs. Goodhouse keeper. "And you, Mrs. Ilighstepper?" "Oh, Jane was perfectly aggravating and stupid, and I went down to the kitchen and spoke to her. She flared up as impudently as possible and gave me notice then and there." "You went down into the kitchen to do it?" "Why, yes, of course," admitted Mrs. Hlghstepper. "Suppose you tell us how you man age so beautifully?" remarked Mrs. Fogeyite, iu a rather sarcastic tone. Rut Mrs. Goodhousekeeper took no notice of her manner. "It's just this way," she answered. "I try to look at things as much as possible from tho girl's point of view. Of course that doesn't mean that there isn't a bound ary line drawn between us, for such a line is necessaiy to maintain the proper business relations between employer and employed, but I don't flaunt it in the girl's face all the time. 1 give her a good sunny room, where she can be comfortable during her leisure hours. After her work is over she cau receive Buch friends as she pleases. I don't consider that I have a first mortgage over her life and actions just because I am paying her $1 a week. As for for bidding her to receive her male ac quaintances, 1 think that is downright cruelty. The servant In the kitchen has a heart Just as surely as the mis tress in tlie parlor, and the old, old story is just as sweet to her. What right have 1 to ruin her chance of hav ing a happy home of her own? She looks after my comfort; 1 look after hers. I take an Interest in her welfare, lend her a book occasionally and in quire after her parents and family. In other words, 1 make her feel she is in a home, not in a slave pen. I keep my dignity with her by always appearing neat and veil dressed when around the house. A servant can have no respect for a slatternly mistress. I direct her more by praising her for what she does well than by scolding her for what she fails In. If it Is necessary, however, to administer a reproof I never go down Into the kitchen, which is her domain. I make her come to me. Above all, I never speak to her in anger and I expect her to exercise the same control over herself, and my household moves on peaceably on a perfectly friendly and yet businesslike basis." MAOP ROBINSON. FLOWER AND TREE. Heavy pruning of growing trees will check growth. Flowering plants should never be watered with cold water. It chills the plants. The Madeira vine is one of the best climbers, having a wreath of leaves equaled by few other plants. Repotting of plants becomes necessa ry at Intervals for two reasons. Tho plant uses up the available fertility in the soil and tills the pots with roots. The Ink plant of New Granada is a curiosity. The Juice of It can be used as Ink without any preparation. At first the writing is red, but after a few hours it changes to black. In watering the primrose observe this: Water should not be poured upon the crown of the plant nor the pot tilled so full that the water flows over into It. This Is fatal to the health of the plant. To destroy aphides or plant lice dip the ends of the twigs Into a strong tea made by steeping tobacco stems in hot water or syringe with whale oil soap suds, repeating the operation in six or seven days. FNOCULATION IN ENGLAND. It Wuh I.nil} Mary Wortley Montagu Who Introduced It. It was Lady Mary Wortley Montagu who first introduced inocuiation for smallpox in England. While residing in Helgrade in 1717 she saw the Turks practice "engrafting," as they called it, to produce a mild form of smallpox and stay its ravages. She examined the process and. being convinced of its efficacy, applied It to her three-year old son. On her return to England she introduced It in London. At that time it was computed that one person in ev ery seven died of the smallpox. Yet she was opposed by the entire medical faculty. By order of government an experiment was made upon five per sons then under sentence of death, and it proved perfectly successful. Rut instead of Lady Mary being ac knowledged as a public benefactor she was persecuted with the most re lentless hostility. The faculty rose to a man against her. Even the clergy descanted on the awful impiety of seek ing to take events out of the hands of Providence. The common people were urged to hoot her as an unnatural moth er who had risked the lives of her own children. However, the Jtincess of Wales, afterward Queen Caroline, stood her friend, and truth and reason finally prevailed. It was about the year 1752 that Lady Montagu was honored by a monument erected to commemorate England's gratitude to her for intro ducing inoculation. I)r. Edward Jenner substituted cow pox inoculation in 1799. He lived to be rewarded by parliament by a grant of £IO,OOO and later by a second grant of £20,000, and in 1858 a statue was erected to him in London. Only a bi>re credit was vouchsafed to Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, who bore all the per secution without any of the pecunijjy reward she was entitled to and by no means a fair share of the glory.

All the blood in your body passes through your kidneys once every three minutes. fThe kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil ter out the waste or impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, aches and rheu matism come from ex cess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney poisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin ning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases and is sold on its merits by all druggists in fifty cent and one-dollar siz- BgjSsiiS es.

Wm* Cll'r!sman N ' Attorneys for C)RANTHraRINb,! GeOT e eS " m » M 9' 111 mmwrn JOß. It was a case of a jealous, suspicions husband with a pretty wife. He had some suspicions which could only be cleared up by having his wife con tinually watched, and for this purpose It was requisite to have a lady who would goto her as a companion while 1 he was abroad and report to hirn every j little thing she said or did during his 1 absence. "Good pay," the detective said quiet ly when 1 announced my decision of altering my mind and not undertaking 1 It. "You will make s2f>o in a fort night, have no expenses and nothing to do but be with the lady and go with her everywhere—theaters, con. certs, balls, all sorts of tilings. More over," he went on quietly, "I don', think you will object when you have seen the lady. I have no opinion in the matter at all, but elie seems n quiet, sweet little woman, and you may be the means of cleuring up this suspicion about her and so restoring her happiness. Wait until you have seen her." I did, and my heart weflt out to her at once. 1 felt that by clearing up these suspicions I should be doing one of the best things I had ever done In my life, and I agreed togo to her on the following Monday. "I don't mind so much when my hus band goes away," she said, with a lit tle smile, "because I know It Is neces sary for his health, but I do feel n little lonely sometimes, of course, and he is always so thoughtful about me in every way. He can't bear lo think of my being lonely, so he insisted on my having a lady as companion this time or, he said, he wouldn't go at all." I?y the little flush of happiness on her face I knew that as yet she had not the faintest Idea that he had such base suspicions of her as to degrade her by having her watched, and I prayed heaven she might never do so. Meanwhile I wrote to the husband ev ery day, giving a detailed account of the way in which each hour of the day and night was spent by her. I had been told that It was suspected that she had many gentleman visitors, and my instructions were to take par ticular notice of this. I did so, but the ladies far outnumbered the gentlemen, and those who came were mostly old 1 friends of herself or her husband cousins or distant relatives and a broth er who came often. I often wondered what that brother would have thought had he known his 6lster was being continually watched by a lady detec tive. I imagined how he would have loath ed and hated the eight of me and how he would have resented my presence there. As It was, he was particularly nice to me and Invariably sat near me and chatted pleasantly, on one occa sion even going so far as to say how he looked forward to seeing me and how pleased he was his sister had some j nice girl to be with her. Rut when one day he brought me some flowers, ! with a few whispered words, I felt as if the blossoms themselves would sting j me. The room swam In a mist before j me, and when I had the courage to look up at him my eyes were swim ming in tears. He was looking down at me in a contemplative, curious way, and there was a pleased little smile round his mouth, while his eyes told me something which made my heart beat furiously. No words can tell how miserable I was or how I wished I had never un dertaken such work. I could not stop now I had begun, and I simply longed for the time to end. It was the Injured little wife herself who continually— quite unconsciously, of course—tortur ed me beyond words. She would sit by the hour together telling me of her husband's goodness—what a dear, true fellow he was, how devoted to her, how she really believed he thought she was ; a perfect angel (this with a little, hap- 1 py laugh) and how he spoiled her. But ! the last straw was when one day she j confided to me, with a little regretful sigh, that she often felt she was not good enough for such a splendid man; j her happiness was more than she <le- j served, etc. Hut the fortnight drew to an end at last, and the husband came home. Ilei was a good, straightforward, honest i and honorable man as far as all other I things were concerned, but he had been cursed with the demon of jealousy, and ! the anguish of his own baseless sus- j plclous had well nigh killed him. I must say I considered he had thor oughly deserved all he had suffered, ! and when he came to thank me I told him so. As for the money, nothing on earth would have made me take it, and I think even he felt ashamed when 1 said this. "l'ou are not fit to touch the ground Bhe walks on," I said indignantly. "She Is far too good for you, but you have your life before you, and that Is not a bit too much to spend In making up to her for all the lujury you have done her." He took It quietly, and the next day I said goodby to them, with many tears on her part and mine. There was an other reason for these tears—her broth- | er had proposed to me, and I had re- j fused him. It cost me much, but It was Impossible under the circumstances, j fcnd to prevent his finding me out, ftrliich he has declared his intention of doing, I resolved to change my name and, If I could only obtain some small engagement In that line, become an j Bctress.

"THE HOUNDOF THE BASKERVILLES" IN THE PHILADELPHIA PRESR. Sherlock Holme's gaeatest piece of de" tective work is done in the new story by Dr. A. Conan Doyle, "The Hound of the Baskervilles." Holmes himself says to Watson his co-worker. "Here at last is a foeman worthy of our steel." The result is a story whi.;h, for thrilling interest, stands by itself. From the first discovery of the hound's trail, when the dried-up young doctor brings to Sherlock Holmes theaucieut manuscript, to the final scene where the great de tective is brought face to face with the monster of the moorland, there is not a sentence that does not carry the reader breathlessly forward. It is a great novel, with a great subject, by a master of the craft. This thrilling story begins in"The Philadelphia Press" Sunday, July 0. Be Sure Not To Miss It.
