The Empress Eugenie, the princcss of Wales and the czarine of Russia possess this talent to a marked degree. Particularly is it true of the princess, who instinctively understands what to wear and how to wear It and is not governed by but governs the mode. Every busy woman is personally indebted to her for the Introduction and popularity of the serviceable blue tweed for street wear, and every thin woman owes to her the grateful protection of t&e high close collar about the neck.— EMladelphia Time* ■. - The pipe line which we reported some time ago that our citizens were making (or the purpose of draining their cellars, is now completed. There is about three thousand feet of pipe laid along Jefferson street at such a depth that drains from the adjoining streets can be run into it. □ This shows the pluck and energy of the citizens of this town. Several members of the People's Party club at Horatio visited here on Thursday evening and organized a club here after expounding the doctrines of the party at some length. Inglebret Uabrielson, the butcher, and Johann Weaver, daughter of Samuel Weaver, were married at Brookville last Wednesday.John D. Davis purchased a lot from Ingle Oabrielson last week. George Means purchased n lot from J. B. Means last week. Tha Opal. The cause of the opal being1 deemed an unlucky gem is due to the nature of the stone itself. The irrldesoence of the opal is caused by innumerable minute cracks, which reflect the light from a thousand surfaces and so induce the play of color. It sometimes happens that, from no known reason, the cracks enlarge and the stone splits into a number of pieces. A valua ble opal has thus been known to become utterly worthless in a short time, and of a beautiful gem only a thimbleful of fragments remains. Such accidents as this have probably given rise to the idea that the opal is unlucky to own, and the superstition growing, the idea became fixed that this gem brought misfortune to its possessor.—St Louis Globe-Democrat. Jefferson county. We buy in the largest Our Fall Stock IS COMING IN EVERY DAY. line of Boots and Shoes in We carry the largest and finest There was great excitement in the Slavonian camp which is situated about half a mile from here one morning last week when it was reported that Joe Volk had eloped with Mrs. Ulke Kurimshock and that Mike was in hot pursuit with a brace of revolvers. After investigating the matter, however, I found it was only partly true. On the evening before when Mike Kurinshock entered his house he found Joe Volk and his wife sitting closer together than he thought they ought to. This aroused his anger, and he made Joe get out in short order. After Joe had gone Mike took down his gun and threatened to shoot his wife if she did not tell all that happened between her and Joe Volk. She swore that nothing of an improper character occured between them. Mike put down his gun and gathered up all Volk's belongings, Volk being a boarder in the bouse, and tore his clothing into shreds, broke his trunk, and threw them all out, and then started out after Volk to kill him. But Volk got safe away and went to the ■quire next day and had Mike arrested. It cost Mike about seventy-flve dollars to settle the case. Mike wont keep any more boarders. Prepare yourselves for a grand surprise for we are going to give you all an agreeable surprise in Fall and Winter Clothing. Our stock will be of greater magnitude for style, quantity and quality that it will surpass anything you have ever seen in Punxsutawney. Mr. Newlywed—That's all right. I dare say you would be jealous i£ there was another bright-eyed dear in the house.—Texas Sittings. Very Neatly Fat. Mrs. Newlywed—I have read that book through, and there isn't a bright idea In it. —With fifth may be served potatoes and tomatoes In any form, also cucumbers, onions and green peas. If the fish is prepared with curry sauce as an aocompanimjent,rlce should also be served; if dressed with a cream sauce, any ldnd of potatoes, except fried, will be appropriate. Fish is so delicate that a vegetable of a pronounced flavor should never be served with it. Therefore, onions should be made as dainty aa possible by being boiled in a large quantity of wator, which should be changed several times; they may then be drained and dished with a cream sauce. —Cheese ltamakins.---Grate half a pound of American cheese and half a pound of bread crumbs; soak the crumbs In half a pint of milk; put these la a mortar, add four ounoos of sweet batter, half a saltapoon of white pepper, two saltapoons of salt and half a tearspoon of dry mustard; put the mixture in a bowl and add the beaten yolks of five eggs. Beat the whites to a stiff froth and add to the mixture. Heat and butter the gem pan, put in the mixture and bake twenty minutes. The mixture may be mado stiff with floor, rolled into little cakes and baked oa buttered paper.—Household Monthly. —Soft Shell Crabs.—See to it that bo dead crabs ore in the lot. Under the sides of the paper shell will be found a quantity of shaggy, feathery substanee which must be removed; be careful alao to remove the sand pouch. Wash and dry each crab, toss them in a little floor and fry In a liberal quantity of hot faL A thick covering1 of batter and bread crumbs detracts from the excellent qualities of this most dainty dish, and should not be tolerated by epicure*.— fcoston Budget —Ilice and Veal Cakes.—Wash half * teacupful of rice in cold water, then boil in milk until tender. Have ready a teacupful of cooked veal chopped fine. Put this into the rice, break in two egg* and salt to taste. Stir until well mixed, and make in little cakes and fry a light brown in butter. Cold veal left from a previous meal can be used as well aa not, and cold rice may be used, but ia not quite so nice as with freshly coolnd. —Domorest's Magazine. —Pink Lemonade.—A change from the ordinary lemonade may be mode by coloring it a pretty shade of pink with cochineal coloring, made in the following manner: Boil together, for twenty minutes, ono ounce of cochineal, cms ounce of cream of tartar, one:fourth of an ounce of alum, one-half pint of water. A small quantity will suffice to color the lemonade, and will not materially change the taste.—Good Housekeeping.—Baked Potatoes Creamed.—Bate the potatoes, and when nearly done cafe off a circular piece from the upper part and scoop out the pulp Mix this well with crcam and a bit of butter, pat back in the skin and touch it over with the white of an egg beaten to a froth. Serve hot in a napkin.—Old Homestead. —Canning Apples. —Select tart apples. JUellflowera or Duchess are excellent for canning. Peel, quarter and core; throw into cold water until you have enough; prepare a simp, by using half a pint of water for each pound of sugar. Drain the apples through a colander and put them into the sirup when it boils; cook Blowly until tender; bat keep them whole; dip into cans and seal.—Housekeeper. —Fried Onions.—Cut the onions ia slices and soak them in milk for at leaafe ten minutes. Then dip them Into floor and immerse in boiling fat After they have fried for six or seven minutes they will be found to be firm and delicioua.— N. Y. World.

I 'I —During the epidemic of flux in this county last summer I had hard work to keep a supply of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhce Remedy on hand. People often came ten or twelve miles in the night to get a bottlo of the remedy. I have been selling patent medicines for the past ten years and find that it has given better satisfaction in cases of diarrhea and flux than any pother medicine I have ever bandied.—J. H. Benham, druggist, Qolconda, Pope co., 111. Over Ave hundred bottles of this Remedy were sold in tha* county during the epidemic referred to. It was a perfect success and was the only remedy that did cure the worst cases. Dozens of persons there will certify that it saved their lives. In four other epidemics of bowel complaint this remedy has been equally successful. Twenty-flve and fifty cent bottles for sale by Joseph Beyer, of Punxsutawney, Pa., and Dr. Grube & Co., Lindsay, Pa. Mr. and Mrs. Morton and Mrs. Fox, of Pittsburg, were the guests of C. F.

Ktlquette Once Demanded That Thay Snould Excel In That Difficult Art* WHEN LADIES CARVED. Our ancestors fully recognized the value of good carving, and many wtsro the rules by which a carver was expected to be governed. The ancient "Boke on Kervyng,** among other things, admonishes him to touch venison only with his knife, and to "set never onfyche flesch, beetse nor fowle more 'than two fyngera and a thumbs." Fingers he was naturally obliged to use, since forks were a luxury of a later date and were not In private use until James L'a reign. Piera Oaveston, tho favorite of Edward It, had three silver forks for eating peara with, but this was regarded, no doubt, as a great and special luxury. In George I.'s reign It was the boat* den duty of a mistress of a country house to carve for her guests. Etlquetta demanded it of her and no one might relieve her of hor arduous task, not even the master. To the latter was only a»- signed the easy labor of passing the bottle and looking on while each joint was placed in turn before his wife cm daughter, as the case might be, and by her rapidly manipulated. Carving b»> came one of the branches of a good feminine education and there were pxo» fesslonal carving masters who taugh% the young ladle*. Lady Mary Wortly Montagu took lotsons In the art three times a week, and on her tether's publlo days made a practice of having her own dinner an hoar or two beforehand. A guest who did not receive his portion from his host—if own fair hands wonldha* Ihbnself much aggrieved.- —Mr. John Carpenter, of Goodland, Ind., says: "I tried Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Dlarrh® Remedy, for diarrhce and ■ever* cramps Mid pains in the stomach and bowels with the beet results. In the worst cases I never had to give more than the third dose to effect a cure. In most cases one dose will do. Besides its good qualities it is pleasant to take."

I 'I —During the epidemic of flux in this county last summer I had hard work to keep a supply of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhce Remedy on hand. People often came ten or twelve miles in the night to get a bottlo of the remedy. I have been selling patent medicines for the past ten years and find that it has given better satisfaction in cases of diarrhea and flux than any pother medicine I have ever bandied.—J. H. Benham, druggist, Qolconda, Pope co., 111. Over Ave hundred bottles of this Remedy were sold in tha* county during the epidemic referred to. It was a perfect success and was the only remedy that did cure the worst cases. Dozens of persons there will certify that it saved their lives. In four other epidemics of bowel complaint this remedy has been equally successful.

Ktlquette Once Demanded That Thay Snould Excel In That Difficult Art* WHEN LADIES CARVED. Our ancestors fully recognized the value of good carving, and many wtsro the rules by which a carver was expected to be governed. The ancient "Boke on Kervyng,** among other things, admonishes him to touch venison only with his knife, and to "set never onfyche flesch, beetse nor fowle more 'than two fyngera and a thumbs." Fingers he was naturally obliged to use, since forks were a luxury of a later date and were not In private use until James L'a reign. Piera Oaveston, tho favorite of Edward It, had three silver forks for eating peara with, but this was regarded, no doubt, as a great and special luxury. In George I.'s reign It was the boat* den duty of a mistress of a country house to carve for her guests. Etlquetta demanded it of her and no one might relieve her of hor arduous task, not even the master. To the latter was only a»- signed the easy labor of passing the bottle and looking on while each joint was placed in turn before his wife cm daughter, as the case might be, and by her rapidly manipulated. Carving b»> came one of the branches of a good feminine education and there were pxo» fesslonal carving masters who taugh% the young ladle*. Lady Mary Wortly Montagu took lotsons In the art three times a week, and on her tether's publlo days made a practice of having her own dinner an hoar or two beforehand. A guest who did not receive his portion from his host—if own fair hands wonldha* Ihbnself much aggrieved.- —Mr. John Carpenter, of Goodland, Ind., says: "I tried Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Dlarrh® Remedy, for diarrhce and ■ever* cramps Mid pains in the stomach and bowels with the beet results. In the worst cases I never had to give more than the third dose to effect a cure. In most cases one dose will do. Besides its good qualities it is pleasant to take."
