WOMAN'S WORLD MISS CLARA BARTON. President of the American Branch of the Red Cross Society, There is a quiet woman, still in the prime of life, living unostentatiously in the city Washington, though staying at home very little of the time; not that she would not like to stay there, for she is as fond of home as any one, but the world will not let her do so. If you have watched the newspaper reports concerning her, you cannot fail to have noticed how she moves about, now sailing up and down the swollen tide of the Ohio river supplies and comforts to the sufferers; dispensing, then over in Geneva attending the international convention of the Red Cross society; next to the national encampment the Grand Army of the Republic; then she comes rushing home to gather up some things for poor, ruined people in this or that quarter of the globe. Miss Barton comes from Puritan stock and is a native of Massachusetts, the daughter of a soldier who served MISS CLARA BARTON. 418 country in the early days of the republic.

When the cry of war startied our peaceful country, she, with others, volunteered to look after those Massachusetts men who were attacked in Baltimore. Her executive ability and remarkable gifts as a nurse were soon recognized at army headquarters and in the White House. She attended the wounded on the field. She also took care of hospital supplies, distributing them wisely and economically. Military trains were placed at her disposal for the conveyance of passengers to such places as she deemed best for them.

Since the close of our war between the states Miss Barton has been identifled with the Red Cross society work and has been president of the American branch of the international society, which she was instrumental in foundng, since its organization. Light Housekeeping. "Don't talk to me of care free light housekeeping," said a woman who had tried it. "Light housekeeping is the heaviest kind of housekeeping. It brings up a vision of oil stoves, delicatessen shops, shabby gentility, a guilty endeavor not to let the right hand know what the left hand doeth and a conglomerate parlor-kitchen, sitting room, dining room mixture of untidiness, for unless you have the faculty of a ship steward it is an utter impossibility to keep things in order in such confined quarters.

"It can be done, but one has to work with every fiber of her body as she learns the true inwardness of the word shipshape. So please do not call it light housekeeping. Then all your friends want to know jus how you manage, what is hidden under that curtain, which is your china and which your kitchen closet and what do you keep beneath the lounge or back of the piano." To a person who has lived in a large house, replete with closets, light housekeeping resolves itself into an effort to overcome the self evident truth that "two bodies cannot occupy the same place at the same time" while solving the problem "where to put things." A place for everything and everything in its place is all right in theory, but when things outnumber places the housewife can only live in the memory that she used to be a model housekeeper before light housekeeping ensnared World. Help For Tired There is a simple and effectual remedy for the woman whose eyes are red and smarting from overstrain of any kind. Let ber ask her druggist for 10 cents' worth of equal parts of powdered borax and boracic acid.

This amount will last some time. A scant fourth of a teaspoonful dissolved in one cupful of boiling water should be used as a bath for the eyes, applied with a linen cloth as hot be borne with comfort. The water should be allowed to enter eye. Instead of using a cloth, benefit is derived from putting the face close to the cup and tipping the latter 80 that the eye is immersed in the water. The eye should.

be opened and shut a number of times under the water. the eyes in this way night and morning, and the redness of the lids will disappear, the white of the eye will become clear and bright, and the aversion to light which is often felt in the case of weakened eyes will be greatly lessened. This remedy is not a cure for diseased eyes, but merely a relief for weak and tired ones. It is absolutely harmless and has been recommended by and Fireside. To Govern Self.

What are the accomplishments that count? Are they singing, playing, painting, dancing, or are they a happy disposition--one that sees the silver lining to even the blackest cloud-a helping hand, a disposition to make another's burdens easier to carry, even temper, good nature, There is no those first suggested are poor accomplishments indeed in comparison with the others, and, again, while the so called accomplishments of singing, playing, can be the heritage of but few, the others and they are the accomplishments that really count-can be the heritage of all. No matter what one's condition or disposition is, it can be bettered or trained if one is willing to work, says the American Queen. You must learn to govern yourself, to curb your temper and tongue, perhaps laboriously at first (it comes as a second nature later), to seek the silver lining, to be kind, helpful, gentle and honest, and when you have succeeded in all these you will not only have all the accomplishments that count, but as a consequence you will be a most popular girl and a charming companion to any man. Candle Shades. Why green candle shades should be selected when even to the prettiest "bud" a warmer one is better suited is a mystery.

The ghastly, sepulchral light shed by them is sure to detract from the most charmingly gowned company, although the effect of the table with proper setting is undeniably attractive. Every one is familiar with the device of the stage to throw a green or blue glare on the heroine who must suddenly assume the role of sufferer and be overspread with pallor. But without a thought of the result on her guests or even on her own complexion the hostess who is wise in other things chooses the same effect. Yellow and red are both becoming to young and old alike and are consequently admirably adapted to the family party. Pink it is better to choose only for a youthful company.

Pillows. Pillows are made in three sizes 20 by 27, 27 by 28 and 29 by 30 inches. Pillowslips should be an eighth of a yard longer than the pillow after they are hemmed and wide enough to slip easily over it. They may be either plainly hemmed or hemstitched. Pillowshams should be larger than the pillows that they are to be used for.

The average sized sham is 30 by 30 inches. If the round bolster is preferto the shams, it may be stuffed with feathers or may consist simply of a pasteboard frame over which ticking is drawn. It may then be covered with desired material. Pillowshams bedspreads are often made anta of linen and simply or elaborately embroidered. Usefulness of Cheesecloth.

Absorbent gauze is virtually our old friend cheesecloth, and although one may prefer it antiseptically prepared, as for surgeon's use, it is as well to know that the plain 5 cents a yard Variety is all one needs usually. The plain cheesecloth makes excellent pantry towels for the waitress--much better than stiff crash. The cook uses it also for straining jellies, sauces and gravies, and makes towels of it for polishing kitchen utensils. Baby's Hot Water Bottle. Every baby needs a hot water bottle and should have one for his own individual use.

For the first few months of his existence be will find this commonplace article his warmest if not his best friend. In itself a rubber hot water bottle is not a thing of beauty, but may be given a festive air if a cover is made for it of white flannel or eiderdown or crocheted of soft white wool.Harper's. Under the Refrigerator. An exceedingly convenient household idea is to have a zine plate about nine inches square, perforated at one end. in the floor under the drip pipe of the refrigerator covering a pipe for carryIng away the water.

A half inch wooden molding surrounds the zine to pre vent the spread of the water. W. H. KENNEDY NEW DEPARTURE. Selling Medicine At Half Price Under Guarantee of Cure.

After two months of remarkable sales, W. H. Kennedy the enterprising druggists, say that their plan of selling at half price the regular 50 cent size of Dr. Howard's specific for the cure of constipation and dyspepsia, and guaranteeing to refund the money if it does not cure, has been the greatest success they have ever known. They have sold hundreds of bottles of the specific; and as yet have not had one returned, although they stand at any time to refund the money readout any customer be dissatisfied.

This is the strongest testimony that can be furnished to the great merit of this medicine. Any one suffering with dyspepsia, constipation, liver troubles, headaches, dizziness, coated tongue, or the general tired feeling, caused by inactive liver bowels or disordered digestion, should take advantage of W. H. Kennedy new departure and buy a bottle of Dr. Howard's specific at balf price, with their personal guarantee to return the money if it does not cure.

GIVES HIS PERSONAL WORD L. P. Richardson, well-known newsdealer of 2983 Washington street, Roxbury, recovering from efl'ects of several severe colds, writes that his return to health and strength is due to Father John's Medicine, saved from pneumonia. He strongly recommends this old prescription to any one suffering from throat and lung troubles. MR.

McCARTHY'S STORY. Mr. John McCarthy, of 54 Hudson street, Boston, says: "I have tried many but Father John's Medicine is the oilerone that helped me." The money is refunded for any cough, cold, throat. or lung trouble it cannot cure. Remember, not a patent medicine and free from poisonous drugs.

HAS FOR 50 YEARS. One person in every fifty has consumption. Father John's Medicine cures ithas for 50 years. No poisonous drugs. The money is refunded for any cough or cold Father John's Medicine cannot cure.

AMUSEMENTS. Thos. E. Shea, To-day At Gate, Saturday night A Desperate Chance, 9 With matinee. Y.

M. C. March 10 G. A. 11-13 A Bunch "of Keys, '14 With Matinee.

Thomas E. Shea. Mr. Shea repeated "Dr. Jekyll and Mr.

Hyde" to a crowded house at the Grand last evening. His engagement here has been the most profitable of all his visits to Harrisburg. To-night he will close his engagement with a scenic production of the great sensational melodrama, "Hell Gate," expressly written sensi for Mr. Shea by Edward E. Rose, of the Charles Frohman forces.

The plot is intenseinteresting and the scenic effects wonderful. The scene of the play is where the fan River steamship passes in full view of the audience, the length of the steamer being fifty-five feet. A Desperate Chance. The new melodrama, "A Desperate Chance." by Theodore Kremer, author of "The Fatal Wedding," "The Road to Ruin," "The Power Behind the Throne" and other successes, will be the attraction at the Grand opera house on Monday afternoon and evening. Mr.

Kremer has the play from incidents suggested by the exciting lives of the celebrated Biddle Brothers. The story throughout is said to be full of heart interest, and one of the intense kind. The entire scenic equipment is carried by the company, and is said to be the most elaborate on tour, containing many novelties. It will be presented by one of the strongest companies ever playing at popular prices. A Bunch of Keys.

"A Bunch Keys," well-known musical comedy of Hoyt's, will be the attraction at the Grand house next Saturday afternoon and evening." Y. M. C. A. Star Course.

The reserve seat chart for the great entertainment to be given by May Parker's Little Pickaninnies and Concert Company opened this morning and there was a very large number of seats marked off within a short time. Seemingly everybody is desirous of hearing this company. The Pickaninnies alone whole entertainment in themselves. But anted it is considered that they are backed up by such well-known artists as Miss Lillian Pierce, reader; Miss Bertha Webb, violinist, and Miss Florence Beckett, the well-known flute to soloist, the interest greatly increases. For a real genuine lyceum novelty this company, which comes to the opera house next Tuesday evening, will be the crowning feature of the course.

TOILET TIPS. Don't fail to rinse the teeth thoroughly with an alkaline wash (limewater is good) after taking acids. No matter how hopeless your hair may seem, brush it every night. The good effect of this treatment will show in time. Don't let tartar accumulate on the teeth.

for its brings a whole trail of evils in its wake. Have it removed by a dentist at least twice a year. Pure alcohol has the effect of bleaching the hair. It will make it very dry and lighten it considerably. Diluted half and half with water it will not bleach.

Benzoin must not be used on the hands unadulterated. Glycerin, benzoin and rosewater in equal parts will whiten the bands beautifully and leave 110 bad effects whatever if discontinued. It is said that the hands may be quickly whitened by the following process: Rub them well at night for three nights in succession with almond oil and then cover with as much Ane chalk as they will take. When the muscles of the face sag and the skin is wrinkled, apply this solution: One ounce of benzoin to which are a added several drops of orange flower water. Massage into the pores at night.

This tightens the skin. Health Better Than Wealth. Health and happiness ought to go together. Have you ever reflected that if you are free from bodily ills you are al lucky person? Nature has smiled on you and the world is at your feet. I know a mother who has her children rehearse their blessings 'every morning at the breakfast table.

Nell is thankful for her doll and Tom grateful that it has snowed. The mother usually says, "I am thankful that I am well and that I have a good appetite and can enjoy the beautiful things in this world." A maiden aunt felt called upon to rebuke the selfsh attitude of the family. "Always thinking and talking about yourselves-think of others," said she. "My point is," said the mother, "to make the children appreciate their particular blessings and after awhile by continually looking on the sunny side they will forget the clouds and be as happy as they are healthy. Healthy happiness reflects on others--and lightens the gloom of those not blessed with -Chicago Post.

Rolled Hems For Damask. When cutting table linen, cut by the pattern, which is the same as cutting by the thread. The thread makes the pattern, which takes less time than pulling the thread, and you will achieve the same result. The simple rolled hem done by hand should finish the raw edges of all damask tablecloths and napkins unless a hemstitch is preferred. In this case the tablecloth usually has a two inch hem and the napkins are finished with an inch hem.

Tablecloths cut from the web are much cheaper than those woven with a border. MECHANICSBURG. Special Correspondence.

DR. HACKER MEDICINE 344 N. 6th READING PA. P. O.

Box 815 A Confide in a Woman Women may write about their ills to Mrs. Pinkham, and avoid the questioning of a male physician. They can tell their story without reservation to her; she never breaks a confidence, and her advice is the best in the world. The questions asked of a woman by a male physician are embarrassing, and often revolting to a sensitive nature. In consequence the whole truth is not told; this makes it difficult for female troubles to be successfully treated even by the best physicians, and is the reason so many women grow worse rather than better.

A woman understands a woman better than a man, there are symptoms which sick women have that a man cannot understand, simply because he is a man, but the whole truth may be told to Mrs. Pinkham, and her vast experience enables her to give advice which leads to a cure. All women who suffer should secure Mrs. Pinkham's advice; it costs nothing but a letter addressed to her at Lynn, Mass. Female troubles are real troubles, and must be treated understandingly.

For a quarter of a century Mrs. Pinkham's advice and Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound have been helping women to get strong and well, and her great file of letters prove that more than a million women have been restored to health and strength by her advice and her medicine when all other means have failed. When you go to a druggist for Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, do not let him persuade you to try something which he says is just as good; there is nothing just as good, because Mrs.

Pinkham's medicine holds the record for the largest number of cures of any female medicine in the world. Special Correspondence.
