John Slattery performed an act of heroism at Port Carbon, his place of residence, which has been seldom sur passed in Schuylkill county. Joseph Ilogar, 11 years old, while collecting driftwood where the Mill creek and the Schuylkill river join, fell into the turbu lent -troarn and was carried a full half mile down toward a dangerous waterfall. Slattery, who was close at hand, without a moment's hesitation, plunged into the foaming waters and after a long swim recovered thu boy just in the nick of time, both rescuer and rescued reaching shoro in a thoroughly exhausted condi tion. Noting Hogan was unconscious for two hours. Had it not been for Slat tpry's remarkable strength both must have drowned. In acknowledgment of his brave deed the mother of the boy, Mrs. Annie llo gan, tendered him a check for $;>(), which he declined. She then presented him with a magnificent gold watch. Slattery, who is the lion of the hour, is a son of ex-Burgess John W. Slattery. School Board Meeting. A special meeting of the borough school board was held Wednesday even ing with Directors Hell, ltrogan, Hock ley, Isaac, Kelly, Kline, McCole, Shel hamer and Slattery present. A lengthy discussion on the finances of the district resulted in the appointment of a com mittee consisting of Slattery, Isaac and McCole, who were authorized to negotiate a loan of 87,000 at the best possible terms, the money to be used for the payment of teachers' salaries. Tho following bills were read and ordered paid: A. U. Dick Company, 90c; L 11. Lentz, 833.05; Dr. E. Schil cher, 84.75; W. E. Martin. 813 95. The accounts of ex-Tax Collector Daniel Kline were then taken up and considered. With a few exceptions all the exonerations were allowed, and these, with the abatements, money paid to treasurer and commission, reduced the ex-collector's Indebtedness to the district to JUS 39. AMERICAN PLUCK WON. llow Euinin Ramp* Got the Better of n French MunaKcr. Returning to Paris, Emma Eamea nt last closed an engagement with t lie Comique. She was to sing "Travtata," but after she had prepared for her de but she was told that she could not be allowed to make her first appearance in such an important role. Then she studied Bizet's "Les Pecheurs des Perles." But she was told, "We cannot trust this in the hands of a debutante." She was at sea until she learned that a EMMA EAMES. Trench composer was using his influ ence with the directors to prevent her debut and in favor of another singer. In the midst of this distressing situa tion she received an offer from the Op era. What should she do? Here was an offer that would at once start her on her career. Yet she was bound by contract to Puravey of the Comique. She asked him for a release, but the singer for whom intrigue had secured a debut had utterly failed, and the young American was told that now she was to have her chance. The opening of the exposition was approaching, and the manager thought that by having the only American singer would be a feath er in his cap. She insisted that she wished to be released. lie was obdu rate. Finally at a meeting of the di rectors she walked into tlie cabinet and said, "Now I want to know if you will let me off." "We are paying you for not singing," was the reply. "I am not going to leave this room until you have sent for my contract and torn it up before my eyes." "Tills is not the time. Come back to morrow." "I am not coming back, for I am not going until you have done what I've asked you to do." As a result of her stand, American pluck versus French perversity, her contract was sent for and torn up in the directors' meeting. The next morn ing Paravey read the announcement that she was engaged for the Opera, and he was furious.—Gustav Kobbe in Woman's Home Companion. How the Ilnby Shonld Sleep. Sound, restful sleep, both by night and by day, is more easily induced if from the first the child be taught to lie 011 its stomach and face. The only nec essary precaution against suffocation is the provision of a smooth, flat, some what hard hair mattress without a pil low. The advantages of this position are many. Some one has said that half the diseases of infancy result from keeping the stomach too cold and the other half from overheating the spine. By adopting the position suggested as the uniform one during the hours of sleep the stomach and abdomen are kept so warm as to prevent colic and stamach ache and materially to aid the digestive process, while the spine and back of the head are no longer over heated by the increased temperature of the sleeping child. It may be a coinci dence merely, but it is at least a signifi cant one, that all the children the writ er lias known to rest habitually face downward have been unusually sound sleepers and have enjoyed more thah average good health. It is surprising to see how early a child will discriminate and show pref erence for the face position and how readily it accommodates itself to this attitude. A child from eight to ten weeks old will readily have learned to turn its head from side to side to ob tain the relief of a change of position. A young baby on its back is as help less as a turtle in the same position. Its one possible motion is the throwing out of its legs and arms, and each such movement uncovers the child and ex poses it to drafts. Placed on its face, a babe two or three months old will not ouly rest itself by frequent changes of the position of all portions of the body; but, since it is powerless to re verse itself, it can not get uncovered nor lapse into any unwholesome cramped position. It is quite otherwise when the infant is lying flat on its back. This position not only invites in digestion, but it also causes bad drenms and night frights and promotes the dangerous habit of mouth breathing. A Defenne of the "Old Maid." A toast is offered to the spinster! We meet a great many pleasant people in this world, but nowhere do we linda more satisfactory person than that eld erly unmarried woman generally and somewhat disrespectfully known as the "old maid" and supposed to be af dieted with "nerves" and a cantanker ous disposition. AH a matter of fact she is frequently the sweetest, most self forgetful of her sex. She usually walks, with tact and u loving heart, in other women's paths, lives In other women's homes and rejoices in other women's joys, making them her own. The children adore her, for she be comes to them a sort of fairy godmoth er, one who possesses all the tender ness of a mother without the extremes of maternal discipline. She loves to give children a "good time" and does it with extraordinary success. In household details what a treasure! How many dinners owe their success to her, who reaps no glory except the glory of doing! And in the ultimate trials of life what a prop and solace she becomes! Hut it is to the young boy lovers of the family that she ex hibits the finest iiower of her capacity for friendship. What a gift of under standing she seems to have! There is no difficulty she cannot dissipate, no fear she cannot lessen, no tender little half scared hope that she does not en courage to bloom for the other woman. It is always for somebody else that she is working, and perhaps it is this which gives to her eyes the look that even the worst among us unconsciously associate with all that is best and fair est in life. Let them make fun of her if they will, but could we do without her?— Harper's Weekly. Help For Stuttering Children. Few mothers realize the importance of the care of the throat and nostrils of the growing child. Enlargement of the tonsils and nasal obstructions are com mon, and growths frequently exist when their presence is entirely unsus pected. A German physician says that these troubles, notably the latter, be coming chronic, are often the sole cause of stuttering. "This ailment," says the physician, "by stopping the nasal channels and forcing children to breathe through the mouth, actually hinders the refreshing activity of breathing and at the same time the ability to speak and think. Often the removal of these excrescences im proves the attention, the memory and the speech of children to the degree that indicates their presence to have been the chief cause of the defect." Dainty llouNrhohl Linen. Good materials are the first requisites in obtaining satisfactory results in the making of household linens. A French working cotton should be used for the fancy work, and the white linen grounds should be of the best quality, as it always pays in the end in this work to get the best. The first essential to the correctness of all embroidery is the direction of the stitches. This is the foundation of tech nic in embroidery, and in some kinds of work it is a very complicated ques tion, but as applied to French white work it is a very definite and unmis takable principle even to amateurs. Serviceable Trlmmlngd. Experience teaches that for actual service and good wear in trimming the white aprons, gowns and indeed all garments to be laundered the torchon and Valenciennes insertions and edg ings are beyond question the cheapest in the long run. Embroideries tear quickly and are hard to mend. A fair quality of torchon launders well and is more easily replaced when worn out. Try this trimming if you have not al ready discovered it, und it will save in many ways. Tnrklnh Rnthn. Turkish buths are cleansing and pleasant, but should not be indulged in too frequently. If you have vitality to spare, then you can take the Turkish baths with no ill effect. The ordinary nervous woman should lie careful with them, since they are very enervating. \ Turkish bath every three or four weeks is quite sufficient. And then there should lie at least two hours of perfect rest afterward. Mr.. SaiiKster to Stage.trurk Girls. No vocation is so full of drudgery and so beset with disappointment as is tlie stage. Many fail utterly, few suc ceed brilliantly, and mediocrity is ill paid and little esteemed. Except for the occasional girl, the stage is a pro fession to avoid. As for any general culture a girl may have had, if thor ough, it will serve her as well else where as in a theatrical career.—La dies' Home Journal. Two View, of a Wife. A country curate in England who was newly married called on a great lady of the village and as ho presented his wife introduced her with the flip pant and horribly ill bred quotation, "A poor thing, madam, hut mine own." The lady, looking ut the curate severe ly, replied, "Your wife ought to have introduced you us 'a poorer thing, but mine owner.' " Sliort Stories Maga zine. The Home Working Drew. The ideal dress for the working housekeeper is a gingham skirt and shirt waist, the former short enough to clear the ground, the latter uttucli ed to the belt of the skirt and fasten ing in front. To line the sleeves with the same expedites mending, as when holes appear in the elbow the patch is already in place. An embroiderer advises that an old silver thimble worn smooth by long usage is the best to use In work with flosses, which require great care to keep from roughening. To prevent damp and rust catching the wires of a piano tuck a small bag of unslaked lime just underneath tlie cover, and it will absorb ull moisture. Sufferers from tender feet should woar only wool or cashmere socks and should never wear the same pair of boots two days In succession.

By the death of the Marquis of Duf ferin and Ava, which occurred at Claudeboye, County Down, Ireland, on Feb. 12, an American girl, formerly Flora Davis of New York, becomes a peeress of the realm. The gradual rise in rank of this New York girl Is certainly a remarkable one. When she was married to Lord Dnffer- MAIiCHIONESS OF DUFFERIN AND AVA. in's second son, she became Lady Bluckwood. Then the oldest son of the marquis died in Africa, and she became Lady Claudeboye, countess of Ava. Now the head of the house is dead, and she becomes the marchion ess. Rulfour Repulncn Reporter. A newspaper man who desired to in terview the Bight Hon. Arthur J. Bal four was, by u servant's error, shown into Mr. Balfour's study while another visitor was with him. With a foolish want of tact the reporter tried to in duce the leader of the house of com mons to talk while this third person was still in the room. "Will you," replied Mr. Balfour to a query of the newspaper man in Ids sweetest, gentlest manner, "be so kind as to go outside the door and close it?" Marking flie Towels. A liousekeepr has hit upon the idea of embroidering on towels with a dark 1)1 ue or red thread the outlines of vari ous utensils, such as tumblers, a cup and saucer, a frying pan or saucepan, for the purpose of conveying by object lesson the separate use for which each towel is designed. "One of the things," says this housekeeper, "that I could not impress upon the various girls who served in my kitchen was which towel was to be used for certain dishes. They wiped my cut glass with a heavy crash towel and the frying pan with a towel designed for glass. Since I have put emblems on each of the towels I have had no further trouble." Kkk BenteM. Wire egg beaters, according to a cooking school teacher, are the right sort to use for angel food, meringues or other compound In which the cells are to be coarse, as those will beat the air in to inflate them. For cake that re quires a tine grain the wheel beaters are to be preferred. Prince and Pearl. In the very same year, on the very same day, Two little babies were born! One was a doggie, and one was a girl; One was named Prince, and one was nam ed Pearl, All on a New Year s morn. And In one cradle the babies slept. All through the midwinter weather, One on her pillow, dimpled and sweet, And one curled up at the darling s feet- Prince and Pearl together. Put Prince grew fat, as doggies will, Till he was large and strong. With a coal black coat that was- curly and line, And he learned to know right from wrong. And Prince would sit by baby Pearl, Rocking her while she slept. Gently, lightly, to and fro, And the mother was free to come and go, For Prince a true watch kept. And he'd bear caresses from baby hands, With never so much as a wince, And Pearl on his back was secure from harm, For he'd carry her safely all over the farm, Darling, trusty old Prince. More Cully. To little Jack a gentleman friend of his was known as "Cully." When once this gentleman's twin brother came to visit him, Jack was called over, and they tried to puzzle him about the men, who bore a very close; resemblance to each other. They pointed to Cully and asked: "Who is that, Juck?" and he an swered : "That's Cully." "And who's that?" pointing to Cul ly's brother. Jack hesitated, and then a queer lit tle smile lit up his face as he an swered : "Why, that's more Cully." PLEASURE.
