THE SLEEPING SICKNESS WHICH MEANS DEATH How many readers have beard of tWs terrible disease? It prevails In that far-away country Africa especially the Congo district. It is caused by the bite of the tsetse fly. When It bites a person, the sleeping symptoms begin and finally the sufferer sleeps ' until death occurs. Contrast this with the peaceful, , balmy sleep of health. Is there any thing more wearing than to He awake at night, tossing about, nervous, with cold fort, hot head and mercy knows What else? Short of letting the tsetse , fly bite us we would do almost any thing for relief. How can wo pre- vent it? Mr. George Hayes, of tTnion City, Pa., writes: "I had lost my appetite, was all run-down, could not Bleep nights. I had tried every thing without relief. Vlnol was rec ommended, and to my surprise, It helped me at once; gave me a splendid appetite, and now I sleep soundly." What Vlnol did for Mr. Hayes, It will N do for every run-down, nervous and overworked person who cannot sleep. Stoke & Feicht Drug Company Reynoldsville, Pa.

Mr. Frank Howe, a prominent farmer in the town of Van Buren, says: "I visited the b"st physicians in thecoun try, who treated me for ab.ut two years for rheumatism.

Josofa Osborn is dead, and if the women of the nation of the whole world, for the matter of that only knew their unpayable indebtedness to her they would wear mourning bands on their arms for thirty days and gei. extra allowances from -their husbands and fathers and brothers to raise a glorious monument over her bones. All the women's clubs, too, from Zanes vllle to Zanzibar would drape their halls and put suitable resolutions of their great loss on their minutes. lira. Osborn Invented the feminine shirt waist. According to the consensus of femi nine opinion, no single article of femi nine wear and feminine decoration has ever equaled the shirt waist. It is at once the most comfortable, the most becoming and the most nilnptablo ar ticle in any lady's wardrobe. It Is capable of being drawn out to any ex tent like an nccordion. It Is formal and it is informal and everything that Hps between. It Is suitable for any thing from a seance wilh tbe cooking stove to a reception nt the Gotrocks. with a footmnn at the front door. Its genesis was simple. J'rs. Os born saw her husband's soft shirts and envied them. From that, as one who has a surface knowledge of the sex will testify, It was but a step to annexation. Mrs. Osborn went to the man who supplied her husband and told him thnt she wished a half dozen shirts built on the regulation mascu line working plans save slight diver gencies here and there and with a de cided curtailment in (heir length. lie "demurred. She Insisted, and she won. She wore them herself. She gave them to her patrons, for she was the most famous dressmaker lu New York, and from them sprung the millions of shirt ialsts thnt have covered and made attractive the women of the world. Mrs. Osborn was a wonderful wom an in ninny ways. With no experience and only the necessity for action to inspire lier. slio left the ranks of New York's Four Hundred and with only $3,500 to start with built tip a busi ness thnt took an entire building, em ployed 3fi0 persons nnd enabled her to leave an estate of fully half a million. This was her material reward, but the shirt waist, to shift It from its proper place for a moment, was her crown of glory. BABIES HATE LIGHT. Even the Top of the Pink Little Head Is Sensitive to It. One thing which we must learn to appreciate and respect in the baby is his attitude toward light. This is widely different from ours, writes Dr. Woods Hutchinson In the Housekeep er. Light Is one of the most stimulat ing and attractive things in the world to us, and the brighter the better. But to a poor blinking tot of a baby it is as dazzling and irritating as It Is grateful to us. His chief objection to the new world in which he finds himself, If he could put it in words, would be, "It's so beastly light." He is born a caveman in more senses than one. While the rooms which lie occupies should get plenty of sunshine, this should never be allowed to shine directly Into his eyes or full upon his face. He has neither pigment in uis ten der skin nor hair on the top of his pink little head to protect him against the light rays. It is little short of cruelty to animals to lay an unfortu nate baby on his back In a troughlike perambulator or baby buggy so deep nnd well padded thnt he cannot even squirm, to load him down with cloth ing and wraps or even actually strap him down so that he can lift neither hand nor foot nnd then to wheel him nbont for hours with his little face turned up to the full glare of tbe light and even the direct rays of the sun. Here is where ' the foundation of many a case of headache, of irritable nerves, of fretfulness with Its accom panying Indigestion and sleeplessness is laid. Look at the faces of these poor little human cocoons and you will see three times out of five that while they are bravely trying to make the .best of it nnd to accept it good humor edly their tiny countenances are wrin kled Into one universal frown of per plexity and protest. By all means get the baby Into the open air day and night, but see to it that his eyes are protected from the direct glare ' either by hood or sun shade or by turning his back to it. HOUSEWIFE SUGGESTIONS. After washing lace curtains lay a blanket on the floor in some empty room, spread the curtains on the blan ket, stretching them carefully, and they will keep thefr place without any fastening until dried. Parsley jthat can be put into a pep per box and used to garnish certain dishes is prepared in this manner: First carefully wash the parsley and dip Into boiling water, which will make the leaves a brilliant green. Place the leaves on a plate and put into the oven to dry. When crisp break into small pieces and run through a coarse sieve. In a very small kitchen a hinged table is very important. Get a good sized square board or two boards clamped together and fasten with strong hinges near a window. It will be necessary to have a support fas tened beneath. When not in use the board lies against the wall. It is handy when taking pies, cakes or bread from the oven and serves to hold dishes when the kitchen table Is crowded with cooking utensils. Cover the board with an oilcloth the color of the paint in the kitchen. GRANGE TAKES A HAND Exerts Its Influence To Secure Fair Play For the Local Option Bill. "? SPEAKERC0X MAKES PROMISE The local option movement among the grangers of tbe state as headed by Rev. J. W. Jonnston of New Milford secircd a victory for local ODtlon at HHirlsburg. Some weeks ago before the meeting of the legislature Mr. Johnston met with Senator Penrose and the Republican leaders and Insisted on fair tteatment for local option in committee and on the floor of the House. This was granted and binding assur ance at last given that the movement should at last have a square deal in the Pennsylvania legislature. 1,Vhnn it became evident thatvMr. Cox was to be chosen speaker of the House, and Inasmuch as the Indepen dent candidate Mr. McClain wan not for local option, Mr. Johnston visited Mr. Cox and brought so much Influence to bar upon him that be obtained his pledge also that the local option bill would not be killed in tbe committee but given a fair Bhow on the floor. This was good politics on the part of Mr. Cox as it disarmed much of the opposition to him. For tbe first time In Pennsylvania, a local option bill Is to have a fair Bhow in the legislature. This arrangement shows the practical and skillful opera tions of Mr. Johnston and the power of the Grange in Pennsylvania. Chalr mnn State Grange Local Option Com mittee. State Preserves.

WHEN YOU WEEP. The Way That Tears Act Upon the Human Organism. Professor Waynbaum, M. D., of Paris publishes some queer facta re garding the nature and purpose of tears, coming to the conclusion that tears act upon tbe human organism "like chloroform, ether or alcohol." "When a human being gives way to sorrow," snys Dr.Waynbaum, "the blood pressure in the brain decreases. The tear helps In this process, which benumbs the brain for the time being, causing passlvcness of the soul al most approaching indifference. "Tears are blood, changing color by their passage through the lachrymal glands. One can drown his sorrow in tears as one can benumb his senses by the use of alcohol or drugs. When a person cries' the facial muscles con tract and the appearance of tbe face changes, which action facilitates the white blood letting, driving the blood particles into the lachrymal gland, from which they Issue In the shape of tears. "Children whose nervous system is particularly tender derive great ben efit from crying occasionally. The act of crying relieves their brains. The same may be said with respect to wo men." The professor likewise explains why laughter sometimes produces tears, but the explanation is too technical for reproduction. ' ' l The Only Safe Way. "No, I can't stay any longer," he said, with determination. "What difference does an hour or so make now?' asked a member of the party. "Your wife will be in bed and asleep, and if she wakes up she won't know what time it is." "Quite right, quite -right," he re turned. "I can fool my wife almost any time as long as I get home before breakfast. Why, I've gone home when the snn was up, kept the blinds shot, lit the gas and made her think that it was a little after 12. But, gentlemen, I can't fool the baby. I can make tbe room as dark as I please, but it won't make the baby sleep a minute later than usual, and when she wakes up hungry It comes pretty close to being morning, and my wife knows It Gen tlemen," he added as he bowed him self out, "I make it a rule to get boms before the baby wakes. It's the only safe way." A' Patron of Art. "So you enjoy reading all the extrav agant praise that is printed about that opera singer ?"
