The woman whose silk .skirt splits Qie second <»r thlnl time she wears It Is apt to sigh for the silks of her grandmother's day, with their seeming ly Imperishable qualities, but as a mat tar of fact silks are much better now than they were before. The ancestral silks, which were woven on baud looms, wore never of an even texture, whereas with modern machinery the lust Inch of a hundred yard piece comes out exactly the same as the ilrst one. The art of dyeing, too, has been brought to a state of perfection never known before, and communication be tween the silk workers of the world is so rapid that a discovery made by one Is soon known to all the others. The reason so many modern silks do not wear is because they are adulterated to meet the demand for cheapness, their wearing ability being In exact proportion to the amount of silk they contain. Cheap silks are largely made op of dye and dressing. A good quali ty of silk is defined by manufacturers a"s one which has not more than four ounces of weighting to the pound, •nd none have less than two ounces. Most of the weighting Is put In during the dyeing process, and when a man ufacturer sends a quantity of silk to the dyer ha says that he wants it to come back weighing so much, accord inx to the amount of adulteration re quired.—New York Tribune. MACARONI. It I* Made From the Meal of a Wheat ( nllttU Semolina. Macaroni, which is derived from the Italian word maccare, to crush, is pre pared from the meal of a hard variety of wheat which Is cultlvuted in the south of Europe and in other warm climates. Its suitability for the manu facture of macaroni, vermicelli and other pastes Is to be found lu the easy preservation of preparations made froru it and also lu its richness In glu ten and other nitrogenous substances. The meal of this wheat, which is named semolina and Is Itself a com mercial article, is mixed Into a stiff dough with boiling water and while still hot is placed Into a metallic cylin der, at one end of which is a thick disk pierced with openings and Into the other end of which a piston Is Intro duced, which forces the dough out through openings which correspond with the section of the article which It Is intended to make. Ordinary tube macaroni has Its form given to it by mandrels of the requisite thickness, which are fixed within the openings of the disk. It Is dried by hanging it In long striugs in stoves through which a current of air is driv en.—London Express. THE PANTHEON. It Han Withstood Vicissitudes ot Over Twenty Centuries. The Pantheon is the most interesting of all the Interesting places of Ilome. It was used for Its present purpose as a place of religious worship before the foundations of the Coliseum were laid. Its huge doors have opened to admit the great ones of the earth, from Au gustus Caesar to Napoleon, an asser tion tliat will scarcely be disputed. It stands in the very heart of old Rome, and the vicissitudes which have befallen the Eternal City during the 2,000 years of its existence have left It practically unchanged. The glided bronze that lined its roof has been car ried off to "decorate" St. Peter's, where, In the form of clouds and Cup* t, cords and curtains, It tills the beholder with displeased amazement. Its tiles of bronze and gold were re mo veil to Constantinople 1,600 years ago, and the statues which adorned it have long since perished. But the mighty walls yet stand, tlrm as over, sweeping up to the majestic dome, the largest, though not the highest, in the world. One hundred feet across, a hundred feet high and perfectly circular, no architect could design a building more perfect in Its proportions, more harmo nious as a whole. It is lighted solely by an aperturo In the dome, » circle thirty feet across. Standing on Its mar ble floor one looks up to the greatest dome man ever raised and through that to the blue dome which bends aboTe It, sending summer sun or win ter rain through those bare yards of ■pace. The effect 1b so Impressive, so entire ly unmatched and unrivaled, that the dullest of hearts and most untaught of minds must perforce acknowledge Its Influence. A man may think St. Pe ter's "disappointing," may condeton the Coliseum as barbaric or decide that be does not care for the cata combs, but ever} - man who has viewed it has been Impressed, even to the pitch of respectful silence, by the Pan theon. The huge leaves of the bronze door revolve on their mighty hinges as they have done since the days of the Cae sars. and so perfectly balanced are they that a woman's wrist can uncloso them. Through those doors they car ried Julia, Caesar's daughter, with all the pomp of her Imperial power about her And after the lapse of twenty centuries King Humbert was brought across the selfsame threshold to sleep his last sleep in the ancient place.— Chicago Journal. The Archbishop's Suggestion. The late Archbishop Corrlgan was ens of the gentlest of men, but when it was necessary to reprove any one un der his charge, whether priest er lay man, he never hesitated to do so. At ens time there was a vacancy hi the rectorship of one of the large churches hi New York city, and several clergy men were talked about for the posi tion. Two prominent women who were members of the church called upon the archbishop and urged the selection of one of their clerical friends. As they were leaving one woman turned to the other ami said impressively: "When you get home pray that the Holy (ihost may give the archbishop the grace to appoint the right man." Like a tlasli the archbishop turned around and said lu icy tones: "While you are at it ask the Holy Ohost to give women the grß<.>e to at tend to their own business."—Harper's Weekly.

How the Speaker SRTfd n (ourfrm -1111111 From a Cnatly JiiUf. It was u gay time in congress one night when there was an all night ses sion on the Mills tariff bill in 1838. it had been difficult to keep a sufficient attendance, and the house had adopted a resolution directing the sergeant at arms to compel the presence of absent members. one by one they were brought before the bar of the house and after making all sorts of excuses and explanations were permitted to go unpunished. About midnight Congressman Hen derson was brought before the speaker, lie had, he said, no excuse to offer. "I was at a theater party," he con tinued, "when I was arrested and brought here. There is no sort of ex cuse for absence without leave." "I move that the gentleman from lowa he lined $5,000!" called one of Henderson's colleagues. "I second the motion!" shouted twen ty or more members, all of them his friends. "It Is moved and seconded," said Speaker Carlisle, "that the gentleman from lowa be fined $5,000. Those in favor of the motion will say 'Aye.'" Two hundred delighted voices shout ed "Aye!" "Those opposed will say 'No.'" Henderson's agonized voice was alone in yelling "No!" There was but one way to slip out of the joke and prevent the motion from being carried, and that was for Speaker Carlisle to overrule the house. "The nays have It," said he gravely. "The gentleman is excused." HOW A WATCH WORKS. A Vlbratluv Wheel Take* the Pla*® of the Clock') Pendulum. A watch differs from a clock !n its having a vibrating wheel Instead of a vibrating pendulum and m Id a clock gravity Is always pulling the pendulum down to the bottom of its arc, which is It * natural place of rest, but does not fix It there because the momentum ac quired during Its fall from one side carries it up to an equal height on the other, so lu a watch a spring, generally spiral, surrounding the axis of the bal ance wheel, is always pulling this to ward n middle position of rest, but does not fix it there because the momentum acquired during Its approach to the middle position from either side carries it Just as far past on the other side, and the spring has to begin its work again. The balance wheel at each vi bration allows one tooth of the adjoin ing wheel to pass, as the pendulum does In a clock, and the record of beats is preserved by tho wheel which fol lows. A mainspring is used to keep up the motion of the watch instead of the weight used in a clock, and as n spring acts equally well, whatever be its posi tion, a watch keeps time, although car ried In the pocket or in a moving ship. In winding up a watch one turn of the axle on which the bey is fixed is render ed equivalent by the train of wheels to about 400 turns or beats of the balance wheel, and thus the exertion during a few seconds of the hand which winds up gives motion for twenty-four or thirty hours. A Striking Individuality. It does not pay to be too striking In one's individuality unless that charac teristic is the outsprlnglng of one's own nature. Directly little eccentrici ties are assumed criticism is invited. We become conspicuous, and the un conventional beauty which we wish to achieve turns to gall and wormwood lu what the world calls only "queerness " Unless you can be artistically out of the ordinary do not try to be other than commonplace. It does not pay to bring down reproach and sarcasm upon your unprotected head for the sake of win nlng notoriety. Better by far to pursue the even tenor of your way, exactly as thousands of other mortals do. than to strike out into new paths which lead only Into the Jungle of ridicule and condemnation. POSITION IN SLEEP. The Connection Health and tho Way of the Bed. A French scientist claims to have es tnblished a distinct connection between our health and the position which our beds occupy with regard to the points of the compass. He relies upon the fact that the sap of trees Is gradually driven towurd the east by centrifugal force, so that tliey develop more on that side. This induces him to argue that when we remain in bed for several hours with our heads toward the east this will tend to drive the liquids of our body from west to east, and our blood has a tendency to flow toward the brain, so that we sleep uneasily and find ourselves less fresh when we awake than If our feet had pointed eastward If our bed stand north and south it is better to lie with the head northward, as the centrifugal force acts from north to south In our hemisphere. This old inscription on a bedstead is good: "So that ye harte be rite, it mat ters not which waye ye head laye." Keep to the Rlarbt and Go Ahead. The story is told that on a certain oc cssion when a company of persons were discussing lu a crowded room sa cred subjects and certain prominent men oue suddenly exclaimed! "I should like to meet that bishop of Lichfield. I'd put a question to him that would puzzle him." "Very well," said n voice out of an other corner, "now Is your time, for I am the bishop." The man was somewhat startled and taken aback, but presently recovered himself and snld, "Well, my lord, can you tell me the way to heaven?" "Nothing easier," answered the bish op; "you have only to turn to the right and go straight ahead." Her Choice. The wife of a burglar was being ex j a mined by nn eminent lawyer "You i are the wife of this man?" asked tin barrister. "Yes." replied the witness "You knew he was a burglar when you married him?" continued the lawyer "Yes." she answered. "And how did ! you come to contract a marriage with such a man?" "Well, it was this way," said the witness sarcastically. "I was getting old and had to choose between a burglar and a lawyer. What else j could 1 do?" Htn and Her Work. "Woman overworked? Fudge! Think of the men!" "Ah, but you know the old saying. 'Woman's work Is never done.' " "1 know it, and that's the reason she oughtn't to complain. A man has to do his work or lose his Job."

WRECK OiN VALLEY THREE MEN KILLED HAZLETON, Jan. 4. -On the Le high Valley railroad at 3 o'clock this morning a coal train of 2S oars, going down Weatherly hill during the bliz zard. got beyond control of the en gineer, when rounding a sharp curve, near llazlo (Jreek junction. The engine jumped the track and topj led over into the creek. The eu tire train followed, the cars and con tents piling up mountain high, com pletely burying the engine and crew. Engineer William Swank, fireman Robert Turner, and Hrakeman Reuben Mochamer, are missing and are under the mass of debris. Wrecking crews are at work to recover the bodies. The distance between the points where the runaway started and the ac cident occurred is five miles. It was completed in three miuntes. Numer ous runaways have occurred there in the past few years. New York in Grip of Bad Blizzard NEW YORK, 4.—The worm blizzard since 1888 swept over New York and the surrounding country last aight and this morning. Traffic was badly hampered and in some instances jompletely tied up. All iucomiog trains were from one to four hours late. Elevated lines were running with difficulty and surfaoe lines were at a standstill for hours. A sleet storm yester lay afternoon was the harbinger of the storm. The temperature fell rapidly and the streets soon became coated with ice. A fifty mile gale blew up from the northwest and the wind sent the falling snow hurrying along in a blinding cloud, piling it up in great heaps on the side walks and car tracks. JAPANESE CAPTURED 25,000 PRISONERS TOKIO, -Ta.i 4. -General Nogi re ports that the conference relative tn the final acts of the surrender of Port Arthur, was concluded yesterday. The transfer of war niateiials etc., to the Japanese began this morning. The number of prisoners captured at Port Arthur, it is announced today, are 25,000. There were in all 35,000 in habitants in the city of whom 20,00(1 were either sick or wouuded. TROLLEY TRAFFIC HELD UP. On account of the snow drifting on the tia'ks of the Danville and Blooms burg Street Railway Compauy the traffic over that line was held up near ly all of yesterday morning The first car experienced a great deal of trouble in getting over some points along the line, and it was not until late in the morning that it reached Dauville. After 11 a. m.the cars ran regularly during the remainder of the day. Thirty Days Sufficient. It lias been decided at Mahanoy City that a thirty-day quarantine is neces sary for small pox cases. Dr. George Groff, a membt'r of the State Board who was present at the meeting gave a lengthy t ilk on quarantining. He said several years ago the period of keeping a house under quarantine was sis weeks.bat had been reduced lately to thirty days. He said that twenty days was not sufficient length of time and at Shamokin where it had been tried new cases always broke out. He also said that State Board of Health Secretary Lee wrote hlin and insisted on the thirty-day quarantine. I wasatllicted with catarrh; could neither taste nor smell and could heai but little. Ely's Cream Balm cured it. Marcus G. Sliautz.Rahway, N. J. Cream Balm reached me safely and the effect is surprising. My son says the first application gave decided re lief.

Miss Maude Fisher, an employe ol Johnson's millinery store, Mill street, dropped her watch in front of Ross man's drug store Monday afternoon. Suspecting that it had been taken from her bv some one in the crowd watch ing the Mummers' parade,shereportec her loss to the police, and on the strength of a statement given out thai an Italian had been seen to pick up s watch from the sidewalk, Ohiel Mincemoyer searched the pockets oi two representatives of that nation ality. but failed to find the miss ing timepiece. Later Charles Diehl, Vine street, called on the Chief anc handed him Miss Fisher's watch. He found it where the young lady had lost it, and, not knowing who the ownei was, took it to the Chief.

TEN MEN KILLED BY BOILER EXPLOSION HUNTINGTON, W. Va , Jan. 4. The tow boat Defender, one of the largest of the fleet which plies up and down the Ohio river to and from Pitts burg, blew up shortly before midnight last night and the majority of her crew, variously estimated from 23 to 40 were blown into eternity. It was one of the moat horrible disasters.from loss of life, of the past twenty years of river history. The list of dead will, according to the statement made by Oaptaiu Wood ward, reach ten, with some fifteen or more wounded. A coroner's jury is now being em paneled to investigate the cause of the explosion. So far bat three bodies have been foand. The bodies are so badly burned that identification will be diffi cult. The Defender was ownei by the Monongahfela River Coal and Coke Company, Pittsburg, aud was return ing to Pittsburg from Cincinnati, where she had left a tow of four barges of coal. She had been experiencing hard weather the entire way from Cincinnati, owing to the fact that the river is filled with ice. As a result of this she had all steam on,and her prow at that was hardly able to cut its way through the floes. Most of the crew had gone to their bunks, tired out by the day's hard work. Suddenly, with a roar like the bursting of thoasauds of large shells, the whole boat went up into the air, and a moment later what had been one of the prides of the Ohio, was nothing but a blazing pile of worthless timber, the funeral pyre of over a score of men. Her boilers strained to their ut most, had exploded.

For many years it has been supposed that Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re peated attacks of Indigestion inflames the mucous membranes lining the stomach and exposes the nerves of the stomach, thus caus ing the glands to secrete mucin instead of the juices of natural digestion. This la called Catarrh of the Stomach.

AND STABBED THIRD JOHNSTOWN,Pa., Jan. 4 —At 2:15 this morning Jacob Hauser, a miner, forced his way into the home of his wife's parents on Grove avenue, slip ped into the room where Mrs. Houser was sleeping and stabbed her to death. Mrs. Mary Barringer was aroused by the screams of her daughter and rush ed to the scene, only to be met by her enraged son-in-law who plunged his knife into her until she fell dead, af ter stumbling down stairs into the kitchen.
