The Bottom Dropped Out. The Primrose reservoir, at Mahanoy City, is now but a memory. Its 25,000, 000 gallons of water have disappeared in a night into the abandoned workings of Primrose Colliery, leaving nothing but several huge cakes of ice to indicate that a reservoir had been there. As a resnlt the colliery has been abandoned and many men are forced into idleness. The reservoir was over the mine ings, and when the bottom gave way the mine was speedily flooded.

How to Cure Hives. Hives is a peculiar nervous disorder of the skin. It is commonly due to some disorder of digestion. Poisons are formed in the stomach or intestine by the fermentation or putrefaction of the food. These poisons, absorbed into the blood, give rise to this peculiar affection.

In certain persons honey, strawberries, oysters and other substances give rise to hives because of some personal idiosyncracy. The disease can be cured either by avoiding the special articles of food which give rise to the disease or by correcting the disorder of digestion when this is the cause. A dry diet, especially a diet of fruits, grains and nuts, is to be especially recommended in cases of this sort. Mere Theory. Watts-Do you know why they call a policeman a copper?
