ROUND THE REGION.
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.

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.

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.

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.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Care of 6beei In Winter.
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
