How to A\oi<I .\ccidenl8 at Night—The I roper Side for the Driver to Occupy— .\-i to I.igUts I sed on  Veliicles.
Al! drivers are familiar with the ordi- uary rules of the road, such aa "Keep lo the right," etc. Teaiua approachiuK one anotlier turn to tlie riitht, while teams goint; in the game direction observe an¬ other not-so-well-knowu rule: the team in advance turns to the right, thus leav- ill!,' a clear space ou the left for the other temu behind.
These lules are known generally and recognized by law aud common sense, but at niglit, very often in order to carry uut these rules, tlie driver makes grave mistakes. One of the treatest mistakes Americans make while driving is that of sitting in the right hand side of the ve¬ hicle. .Anything more foolish and dan¬ gerous cannot well be imagined. The drivers are on the right and they each turn tu thu right, whicli throws the left- hand 8:de3 of their vehicles ne.xt to each other. Tiie drivers, being as far away as it is pus-ibif to itel, cannot readily see how near their left wheels are to striking each other. In England drivers sit on the riifht but alwaya turn to the left, and thus they are brought next to next and can Bee jusl how far to turn out to escape each other's vehicle. The railway trains in Kui;land also observe tliis rule of pa^^sing on the left. Jf we Americans insist ou passing on the right we should change our driver's place from the right to Uie left side of the front seat, and place the whip-soci(et there also.
Another reason for this bit of advice is Ihat the driver, when sitting on tbe right, being expected to turn to the right, has tbe horse he is driving in a direct line between him and the road ahead. K-i>ecii<!ly is this the case in a low wagon, and very ofien he is prevent¬ ed from seeing an approaching ttam or auy obstacle because his vision is inter¬ fered with.
J'l driving at night it ia always the btst plan for thc driver to take the left- hand bide of the wagon, and also to keep his hor^e well to the right of the road, which gives a clear view of the road ahead and kaves only a little part to turn to get out of the road altogether on the appi lacli of a team. Uy observing this uile we can avuid a law suit and damages resulting from a smash-up. A man who is over on his half of the road is fiee from any respon:-ibility in case of a collision. When we speak of the mid¬ iile of the road we mean that part of tlie road used by wagons, which very often changes from one side to the oilier, es¬ pecially in the by-roads of the country.
Oiily hi-it week one dark evening there was a small collision on Forest avenue just beyond the electric lights, and near tbe l>Ltiileheiii pike. It could have been avoided bad the drivers observed the.se rules.   One of  the  carriages was being
whirled along at rather a lively gait. Tbe driver was on the right-hand side, and was guiding the horse in the beaten track of the road, instead of keeping to the right. An approaching team was upon thera before either driver waa aware of the other, and a disastrous col¬ lision was narrowly averted by a sudden "whoa," a scream,and a sharp turn of both horses to the right. As it was, the wheels of the carriages just scraped one another. The chances aie that even if the drivers had been sitting on the left- hand side of their carriages, where they could have seen the whole road, the sud¬ den alarm given each driver would Jiave been avoided.
If a lamp is used on the carriage at night alwaya hang it upon tne left side, so that otber drivers approaching may plainly see and easily avoid it. If hung on the right side, the approaching driv¬ er will guide his horse so as to miss the light, but run squarely into the carriage which is 8up{K>sed to ba protected by the light. If there are two stationary lamps on the wagon, light botb ; if yoa have only one candle, I'ght the left ; if the right only is in order, don't liijlit any. .Speaking of lights, the best and by far tbe safest place fur a lamp is on the back axle of the wagon, near the wheel on the left side.
Tbese hints are uot the result of the¬ ories ou the subject, but are the ontconie of experience in this line, and will sure¬ ly receive the sanction of all those who give them a fair trial.
Last .\ugust while working in the har¬ vest lield I became overheated, was sud¬ denly attacked with cramps and was nearly dead. Mr. Cumiuing.s, the drug¬ gist, gave me a dose of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, whicli completely relieved me. I now keep a bottle of the remedy handy. A.

Mrs. E. E.Davis, of San Miguel, Cal., says : 'I am trying in a measure to re¬ pay the manufacturers of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for the great good their remedy has done me. l-'or years I was a constant sulTerer from weak lungs and bronchial asthma. Jiy rest at night was di.'^turbed by a hackinjj cougli, so that I fell miserable the greater part of the time. Many remedies recommended by friends were tried, none of which proved suilable to my ca.se. I did not experi¬ ence any beneficial results until I began taking Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. .•\fler two Ixittles of the large size have been used I am pleased tu state my health is betler than it has been for years. 1 he soreness has lefl my lungs and chest ami I can breathe easily. It has done me .so much good that I want all who are suffering from liuig troubles, as I was, to give it a trial." l-'or sale by T. C. Coltman and J. S. .^ngeiiy, Jr. .Drui^gists.

NORTH   WALES    PA.
eral (Iiaiit, was born in Montgomery County in the e.xlicine luirthern corner of lioi-sham, alKUit half a mile from tlu- lUicks county lino. Her father's name was John Simpson, Jr., horn hert^ In 17<i7. The house iu which he n-sided is .still standing, a short distance south of Sleever's iiiilis, on the e.istt-rn side of tin- turiipiki; leailing to l'ros|iecIville from (,'halloiit. Less than a mile to the north is the hamlet called I'l.a.'^antville, coii- tainiiig a few scattcreti hou.ses, a black¬ smith shop, a store, where is the post¬ ollice railed l^ureka. Kormerly a tavern sign of the "(iret-ii Tree'' indicate.l a jiublic house, but which is no longt-r licensed. One-fourth of a mile furthei north is the riea.-^antvilli- Keformed church, known as the "Krick church." The Iiresenl tunipike, formerly known a.- the olil r.uller mad, formerly ran at some distance east from the Simiison house, diverging from its later course for a coii¬ sitlerable distanct;. -V marked dt-prission in the lielils yet clearly shows its former direction, v.hich was changed in I^-m, when the turnpike was constructe.l.
The old stone house in which John Simiison residt-d is now the home of I'.nianuel Stocker, w ho owns the farm of lorty-three acres. It is as it formerly was, except for a new roof and dormer windows added by the present owner. This farm is only tiie central part of the former Sini|>3ou estate. The latter also iiuhldcd a farm of lifty acrea on the westerly side of the lurnpike; also the farm formerly heid by William Dunn, boidt ring the county line, now held by his soil-in-law, Chark'S Tlioinpson, com¬ prising sixty-nine acres. Besides, there were si.x acres, which later were attacht-d to the Sleever property on the north. In all,the Simps^iii lands comprised I7:;acres —enough for a comforlahle liiaiiiteliance, or upon whitrli to grow jvoir, according to the vigor fir the negligence of the old style of fanning. .Nearly the whole estate sloped to the exftward. A brawl¬ ing stream, afler passing the mill, liowed thnnigh a ra\niie towards the east, hastening to join the waters of the Liltle Neshaininy. A bit of green mea.low extended on the south and east of the Simpson dwelling. An oven allachctl tti the log liou.se was here in the tim-j of the Kevolution, and from whicii the wife of John Simpson, Sr., handed oul her whole baking to the American soldiers retreat¬ ing from the tight at (icniiantowii.
The old house shows signs of anliquily and may be considered in st-veral jmr- tioiis. The main house is of stone, of two stories, about '-iH by '-'O feet in .limeti- sioiis, conlainiiig two rooms on the lirst tloor and thn-e on tho second. The lowi-r rooms have oltl-fashioned lireplace!'. In the smaller or northern room of this house it is .-aid Hannah Simpson was born. Thc windows aie not the original ones. There is no date stone upin the house. It is thou;.'ht to have K-en built by the younger Sinip.son when lirst Iiiarried. Kven then it has seen a cen¬ turv of time. At the angle attached to the" west end is tl.e older and more hum¬ ble hoiLse, of logs, suppos<.-d U) have btt.-n the home ofthe lirst .Iohn Sinipsfin, and erected by him a dozen years liefore the Kevolution. Its erection may have been earlier. In il.S rear ia a large room, now used as a workshop. This h.ia been added at an unknown date to tho olifi- story portion. On the meadow bank, east of the dwelling, is the ol-l stone springhou.«e, wherein gushes forth tho spring whose locality douhtlcsa decidetl the site of the dwelling of the original pi.jnc-er. The Simpson barn was very near the turnpike. It wa.s succecdetl by a barn erected by an owner named Jones, wlio succeeded the Simpsons. Ita ruins might have been seen fifteen years ago. A new frame barn north of the dwelling is of modern construction. During the fieriod just jirevious to the removal of .Iohn Simpson in 1>17, the old li>g part of the house was the liome of .laine- Griftith, who was a blacksniilh. and ha'l married his eldest .laughter, -Mary. The place of his shop is yet pointed out to the northward ofthe house, and cl'ise to the former line of the IJutler road. James (iritFith, wilh his wife,afterwards removed to Ohio.
