A breaker to be operated entirely by electricity is being erected by the Sus quehanna Coal Company near the Auchincloss mine, a few miles from Wilkesbarre. It was designed by an ar chitect and engineer who never saw a coal breaker. The new breaker will be build entirely of iron and steel, thus pro tecting the company against loss by lire. ! There will be no boiler houses in con nection with it and the machinery ! throughout will be run by electricity ; generated on the ground. The application of the Lehigh Valley j ltailrond for an injunction to restrain , the new Hazleton-Wilkes-Barre trolley company from constructing a bridge ; across the Valley tracks along the line j of the new road was argued before Judge Durham, of Tunkhannock, at Wilkesbarre. The Valley has no objec tion to the bridge, but there is some difference of opinion regarding its height. William Kurtz, 22 years old, of Phila delphia. while on a visit to his parents at Pottsville, became ill with smallpox, and was removed to the hospital. Be fore the Kurtz residence could he quar antined some of the children circulated anionga number of school children. In order to be on the safe side, the Board of Health has closed the school building. An injunction has been asked to re strain the borough of Duryea from awarding a new contract for sweet light ing. it is claimed that when Duryea was a part of the township of Marcy a contract was made with the Black Dia mond Light Company and that the borough oflieers have no right to break j a contract. Joseph Close, of William Penn, was convicted of perjury and received a sen tence of four years at separate and soli tary confinement in the Schuylkill county prison. A provision was added that Close should be forever debarred from acting as a witness in any case tri ed in this commonwealth. Fine confectionery at Kelper's. The members of the poor board of the upper end of the county have elected Abratn Nesbitt president, Stanley Danvenport treasurer, George Butler secretary and Dennis Mackin superin tendent of the poor house at Retreat. Nanticoke health authorities have de cided to allow no one from Plymouth, where smallpox prevails, to enter the town, and no one from thoro to go to Plymouth. The effort to establish a plant for the construction of convertible cars at Wilkesbarre has failed, the promoters being unable to get the $200,000 neces sary. A lire at Olyphant caused a loss of $40,000, the factory of the Olyphant Shoe Company and the furniture store of P. T. Dougher, adjoining, being des troyed. The 700 employees of the Buttonwood colliery. Wilkesbarre, went on strike because twenty of the outside employes are non-union men. PLEASURE. January 11 —Fair at Eckley Catholic church.

Bean the J* Tha Kind You Hae Always Bought FOR THE HOUSEWIFE ArranftliiK Furniture. In arranging furniture It cannot be toy often emphasized that a first ele ment to be considered in the use of the article Is the place In which it Is put. For example, a screen standing against the wall between two windows Is bad. A screen Is Intended to screen some thing—a draft or unattractive doorway or unsightly view. It Is never an or nament except secondarily, says The Saturday Evening Post. Chairs, too, are to sit in. They should express this purpose by their placing—the low sew ing chair by the sewing table, another inviting one by the reading lamp, a lolling chair near the hearth, one Into which a listener by the piano may drop. Tables, too. have a purpose. They are not to be dotted over a room because tjpy fill space or because a certain fMiuber is owned. Two or three years ago a New York woman received as a curio a slice from a ma hogany tree which was seven or eight Inches thick and at least three feet in diameter. She had it hollowed and polished and mounted on a tripod of mahogany and even then would not let the beautiful thing It had grown to be si and in her parlor till she had dis covered a use for it as a card receiver. It supplanted a less attractive one and now. just at the right of her door, Is most convenient for its purpose and a joy to every one who sees it. Itoynl Copeiilmneii. There are so many varieties of beau tiful ware on the market that It is al most impossible to make a choice when attempting to select a rare bit of bric-a-brac, and one is well nigh be wildered and ready to declare that each piece produced is prettier than the last. Royal Copenhagen has al ways been much admired, but It seems to have arrived this season prepared to make a bid for first place among lovers of ceramics. Its lovely flower effects In dull blue, green and gray on white are most artistic, and the quaint ?hapes will readily appeal to those who are In search of something lovely and unusual.- Pittsburg Dispatch. Slplion Milk Skimmer. It Is often desirable to draw off the milk from a bottle after the cream lias formed without pouring off the cream, and for this purpose the siphon skim mer here shown will be found con venient. Without an arrangement of this kind It is next to impossible to separate the milk and cream with any degree of accuracy, n portion of the one nearly always remaining with the other. Charles A. Mead of Newark, N. J.. the Inventor of this siphon, states that it can be adjusted so as to draw off all the milk without disturbing the cream, or It can be made to mix the two iu any desired proportion. The variation Is obtained by lengthening or shortening the outer leg of the siphon. The graduations correspond TAKES OUT THE MILK. with the percentage of cream, and a little practice soon enables the user to set the tube at the proper mark. Then it Is only necessary to start the flow, when the apparatus may be left at work with the absolute ussurance that it will stop us soon us the milk has been withdrawn. The Inferior Joint. It is strange bow liitle many cooks appear to think of such joints as the flunk steak, the back ribs or the rump. Grunted that the two last are uot so delicate, perhaps, as the sirloin and that the amount of bone in the back libs is greater than in the more esteemed joint, still the price is proportionately lower, and after all a bone is not waste. | As regards the flavor and tenderness, j the inferior joint of a first rate beast is fully equal to the superior cut of a second or possibly third class animal, especially if properly treated. The ! round, for instance, if kept well basted, Is capital roasted and is delicious stew ed or braised. The lleberve Salad. A salad that will be of use to the harassed mistress whose hands are al ways so full Just before the serving of a meal is the following, because it may be prepared several hours before need ed: ' Slice boiled potatoes thin; add a few sliced trufilcs that you have cooked in a little wine, and two red herrings, boned and fluked. The mayonnaise that accompanies this salad must have a little mustard iu it. and the whole should be mixed at least four or live hours before serving. Clder'N Popularity. Iced elder and cider cup arc excel eellent drinks. Cider Is being ordered a good deal again. Now that we are all so hygienic and even young girls are complaining of gout and Vheumatisni we cannot do better than fly to elder, of which the dry brew is the most desirable. S'SH X LAXAKOLA NO ONE BUT A MOTHER I wleep give* to an ailing, teething, fcverith, colicky, frctt y infant. Almost distracted by its couataiil crying and worn out with weary, anxious care and watching-, she tries everything possible to obtain even relief for the little sufferer. With what comfort and delight she sees her little one drop off into a deep peaceful health-giving slumber, after its little clogged bowels are cleared of their poisonous burden by a single dose of Laxakola, the great touic laxative and mother's remedy. Laiakola is a pure, gentle ami painless liquid laxative, and contains valuable tonic properties which not only act upon the bowels, but tone up the entire system and purify the blood. A few drops can bo given with safety to very young babies, which will often relieve colic by expelling the wind and gas that cause it. Great relief fs ex perienced when administered to young children ButTering from diarrhoea, accompanied with white or green evacuations, as it neutralizes the acidity of the bowels and carries out the cause of the fermentation. LAXAKOLA will aid digestion, relieve restlessness, asiist nature, and induce sleep. For constipation, simple fevers, coated tongue, or any infantile troubles arising from a disordered condition of the stomach it is invaluable.

If sheep arc less exact lug than the cows in their demands upon the time and attention of the farmer, they should not be neglected, says Ameri can Cultivator. Good food, and plenty of it, every day is needed, and if they are, as they should be, turned out ev ery pleasant day for exercise and fresh air do not expect them to get a living from the frostbitten grass that they may find, as a little of it will not hurt them and may do them some good, but It cannot be a very nourishing food. A few oats, a little bran and, if their roughage is of inferior quality, a little comment every day will do them good, helping tliein to bring better lambs and grow more wool. Plenty of water where they can go to it as they please should be at hand, for when on dry feed they like to drink little and often, and they want it always clean. A sheep will go long without water rath er than drink that which is not clean. Give them bedding enough to keep their sheds dry and clean and plenty of pure air. Cold does not hurt them when they have on their winter coats, but keep them dry. with the fleece free from rain or snow. HouNiiiK Farm Implement*. The good farmer is supposed to clean and house all farm implements as soon as he has finished using them each day, but many do not do this, says Ameri can Cultivator. They should devote at least one day to the work of collecting them, rubbing the dust ofi\ oiling the ironwork and putting in good order for another year's work. When well bous ed, it will pay to go over the woodwork with a coat of paint. Do this before the snow conies, and when the tools are wanted for use next spring and they are found all ready and in good condition this will prove one of the best day's work done in the year, as it will save several days' time and bother with them in the busy season, save strength of men ami teams and prevent many of the accidents that unlucky men are so apt to have in breaking down just when most in a hurry. RxerclMitiK Brood Sow*. We aim to feed our brood sows about four pounds of grain daily, commenc ing with less and gradually increasing the amount as pregnancy advances un til farrowing takes place, says a corre spondent of American Agriculturist. I feed rather sloppy feeds before far rowing and 110 corn. I give nothing at all for twenty-four hours after the pigs have arrived except water. 1 then feed enough to produce as much milk as the pigs will take and do well. The bard ! est thing 1 have to contend with in winter is to get the old sows to take enough exercise. I aim to gain this by scattering oats rather thinly over some ! clean ground. 1 am forced from expe rience to believe that where the sow is worried into taking exercise no good ! results follow. Candy For Bee*. Never use anything in making can dy but the best grade of says American Agriculturist, lioil granu lated sugar to a thick sirup and when done, so that it breaks like a plpestem when dropped in water, take it off and as it begins to harden stir it until so : thick it will Just pour and then pour into pans or dishes, so that it hardens in cakes about an inch thick. A dif ferent candy can be made if you can get good extracted honey, but it must be of the best quality. Heat the honey until it is thin, but don't boil i.t, and I then stir In all the pulverized sugar it j will take up. Then knead it with the hands and work in more sugar until it I becomes a stiff dough. Concerning Irrigation. i The best results with most crops can be had by wetting the ground well and then letting it alone until it needs wa ter again, says a Kansas farmer in American Agriculturist. This Is better i than to put on a little water every day I or two. This rule will apply to almost all garden stuff except tomatoes. Yon cannot drown them, but you can make them grow too umch to tops and not bear so much fruit. A good plan with tomatoes is to keep tliein growing nice ly until the fruit is well set and then give them a good wotting. Cleansing tlie Foulhonne. Spraying the poultry houses with a solution of sulphuric acid, one pound to twenty gallons of water, is an efli cient remedy for lice, mites and all dis ease germs if it is put on so as to cover walls, ceilings, floors, roosts and nests and forced into cracks and crevices. It is better than some other sprays, as it is not necessary to keep tlie fowl out more than an hour or so. and it will destroy tlie eggs as well as the devel oped insects if it touches tlieui. Vetch Seed For Conn. Vetch seed lias been used in Ger man experiments for feeding to cows. Five pounds of tlie veteli seed meal was used daily with thirty-live pounds of clover hay. The cows ate tlie vetch with relish and with no apparent un favorable results. Farm Not CM. An animal Impoverished in flesh can not grow or mature ami must be main tained at a loss of feed. Winter is a good time to clean up the farm, clear out the fence rows and make the farm neater and cleaner. Many improvements can be planned and partially executed during tlie win ter if advantage is taken of the oppor tunities. Most crops exhaust the soil in propor tion to their value. Small farms well tilled are what make a nation wealthy. The secret of success in stock raising is superiority in quality. A change of rough feed as well as of grain is essential. Kansas Farmer. Her Reason. Mrs. Greene —You told Mr. Brown that Mabel was your oldest daughter. You have always said that your oldest is Fannie. Mrs. White—l invariably say that the daughter who happens to be pres ent with me is iny oldest. One might as well be merciful to oneself, you know; on the age question. Boston Transcript. Cnt Up.
