DR.CLOUSTON, Physician and Surgeon, Huntingdon, Office days: Tuesdays and Fridays till Tom Dublin, Dec.28.\u2014A landslide has occurred near Rathmore,county Kerry, doing great damage to property and causing at least the loss of at least 9 lives, Heavy rains have fallen in that part of Ireland lately with the result that some places that are gen- crally dry now resemble vast morasses.Near Rathmore there is an eminence about 1000 feet high, known as Boy Hill, and it was here that the landslide occurred.The rains percolating through the ground continually loosened a huge mass of earth, and on Sunday night, apparently without the slightest warning, a large part of the surface of the hill began to slide towards the valley.Gaining momentum as it moved il swept downward with a roaring sound, carrying rocks, trees and everything before it for miles.In some places the path of the landslide was 4 mile wide, and as it moved along it buried everything, entirely changing the aspect of the section over | which it passed, The vesidenco of Mr Donnelly, steward of Lord Kenmare, © was engulfed in the mass of earth and debris and all its occupants, Mr Don- neliy, his wife and 7 children were killed.[It is supposed that the house was swept from its foundation by the crushing mass, overturned and buricd 10 a great depth.As its present locality is not known it is hardly probable that the bodies will ever be recovered.All the cattle, pigs.and borses on the place were also buried and thero is now a scene of utter desolation, where on Sunday stood the neat dwelllng and outbaltdioys of Mr Donnelly, The movement of the landslide was to the southwest in the direction of the river Flesk, into which a large pore tion of tho earth, ete., slipped, block: fng it up.Huge quantities plunged {nto the river, and there is danger of the backwater flooding the countr round about unless the current is ab) to carry the dows with it.m= or - TI Wornen are uot elderly as carly as they used tu be, and some never seem to grow old, being up to the times all their life.From 60 to 70 is the time when women still wish to look well, yet dread dressing too youthfully.The appearance as well as the age should govern the elderly woman's apparel.Dark blue, gray, violet, lavender, deep green, black, clear and reddish purple are all suitable colors.A silvery haired woman looks charming in a house gown M the deep rich red culled greuate.Lace rufiles of a creamy shade are becoming to withered hands, and a lace jabot at the throat is becoming.Pointed and ripplo basques are worn, also the long jacket waists showing a full or flag vest.Large and small revers aud epaulet effects are in order and crush collars of silk or ribbon.Elderly women do not wear belts or round waists, and their sleeves are of a moderate sizo, Their skirts are of the five yard width, interlined to a depth of ten inches all around, and of six to nine gores, a full figure taking the latter.As many matrons of this age are rather prominent in front it is well to fit the front gore with a few gathers in the belt.Elderly women should wear eoft boned corsets or corset waists.\u2014Emma M.Hooper in Ladies' Home Journal.Woman In Germany.The adoption in Germany of a gon- eral und common code of luws applicable to all parts of the empire hus aroused the intense opposition of the women of that country to the new code because of its discriminating and oppressive features toward thew.Up to this time euch subdivision of the empire has had its own laws.Under the provisions of the now law an unmarried woman is regarded as almost equal to men concerning their earnings and their incomes.As soon as a German becomes a wife and mother she is booked a8 a minor.She has no right over her fortune.She cannot transact any business without the signature of her husband.Then the new law defines the power of parents concerning the education of their children, placing it all in the fu- ther.It denies divorce on account of ill treatment, drunkenness and other offenses.The bill, which has passed the reichatag, does not become a law until 1900, and many women are agitating the question of its reconsideration and repeal before that time.The New Embroidery.It cannot Le claimed that the poster or Beardsley stylo of cmbroidery is beautiful, but it is bright, showy and as yet a novelty confined to pillow or perhaps a hanging for on gay smoking room.Most any poster that you particularly admire will give you the colors and the forms to use.Cloth figures of broadcloth, billiard cloth or ladies\u2019 cloth are cut from white, black, blue or red and applied to a background that will make a striking contrast.The fig- urea are applicd sometimes with a dash of red or of gold and traced artistically aud in sweeping linea with rope silk or colored cottons.A magazine cover of deep yellow linen has a Mephistopheles figure of black velvet applied to it.A pillow with n eky blue background thut covers the upper half has on tho lower half the figure of a gir) dressed in decp yellow.Above her Lits of green cloth appliqued give a background of leaves, A pillow of bright yellow broadoloth in the same style has the figure of an old man cut from black cloth and white applied to it.\u2014New York Post.Women Horticulturists, The first horticultural school for women in Gormany was opened at Fri- denau, near Berlin, in the autumn of 1894, and it will graduate its first class of seven members this fall.Oue of the graduates will thon nssame the position of teacher in a similar school recently established in Riga, in Livonia.On the 1st of October another institution of the kind was opened on the estate of Baroness Barth-Harmating, near Pluu- en, in Saxony.The courses of study extend over two or three years and include not only the various branches of horticulture, but also fundamental scientific instruction and such knowledge of business methods as is nceded for the successful prosecution of commercial ardening.Emphasis iv laid upon the fact that the new work thus made possible for svomen is suitable for those of the cultivated classes, aud not for uneducated or scmieducated rnstics.\u2014Cin.cinnati Enquirer.Clearing the Path, Mrs.Josephine K.Henry of Versailles, Ky., says in a recent issue of The Free Thought Magazine: \u2018While woman's struggle for liberty has been environcd by more adverse conditions and wore bitter foes than any contest for freedom in all history, yet no cause ever had so many unconscions allies, Evory institution of learning that admits the sex; every one who employs a womau, thus helping her to independence; every invention that releases her : from drudgery\u2014al] these are clearing a path to the ballot box for the women of the United States Women's clubs, whatever their proclaimed objects, and .whether women realize the fact or not, are merely political traiming schools fitting the sex for citizenship.When 19,000,000 American women come into possession of their political heritage, , they will be the best prepared voters that ever entered the body politioof any nation.\u201d\u2019 The Sleeve Finish, The popular finish given to mutton leg and other slesves close to the arm from the elbow down is very pretty, says a fashion authority, and has the advantago also of making the hand look mmaller.Tho sieeve is no cut that at the edge of the wrist it expands like the oalyx of a flower.This expanded part is finished in many ways, It is usually of velvet and is lined with a pretty contrasting color ip silk filled in with

people of this conutry pay Eng- Jand $6,000,000 annually, in cold cash, | for the privilege of getting drunk.For this vast sum of moncy we receive not a dollar in benefit, but in addition we * throw away millions upon millions more, slaughter onr children, debauch our mothers and damn our souls It \u2018Was in 1888 that English capitalists perveived their opportunity to harvest a \u201c\u2018mulet\u2019\u2019 (ax from American debauchery.Accordingly syndicates were organized in London, the principal ones being the City of Loudon Contract corporation, the Executors\u2019 Trustees\u2019 corporation and the London Debenture corporation.These corporations, operating in harmony and pructically one corporation, sent agenta to America to buy | breweries und organize a series of Amer- i foan corporations, each of which was placed in charge of several of the purchased breweries, Thus was the \u2018\u2018Eng- | lish syndicate'\u2019 organized.Now it | owns 79 American breweries which it has turned over to 24 American corporations orgavized for the purpose, of which the English capitalists own ali the stock.The brewcrios purchased comprise nearly one-half the brewing capacity of all the breweries in the United States.The issue of The Brewers\u2019 Journal of Sept.1 gavo a completo list of all these purchased institutions as well ua of the uewly orgunized corporations, the capital stock, dividends declared and information of vital interest to voters who are studying the issues of this campaign.Tho figures given as the \u201camount of dividends\u2019 are only approximate.They are computed on all the stock ns well us the bounds.Some of the \u2018\u2018ordinary\u2019\u2019 stock, perhaps, paid no dividend, but ou the other hand no computations are mado ou the stock of many breweries which paid no dividends, but which, at the same time, paid interest on their bonds, which amounts do not appear in the figures.It is therefuro likely that the total of nearly $6,000,000, paid these English syndicates in dividends will full considerably short of the umount actually paid, Of courso these statistics do pot includo any amounts that English capitalists have invested in American distilleries or wine production.Neither do they take into consideration the Lou- dou syndicate organized to buy all the leading saloons of Chicago and which did purchase a large number.This §6,- 000,000 is simply the tribute we puy Englund for the privilege of drinking beer.\u2014New York Voice.AMERICAN INEBRIETY.It Occurs Among Nervous People and Is Usually Periodical, American incbriety at large is closely limited to towns and cities.It occurs among the highly strung, nervous, overworked portion of the men, It will bo noticed that 1t describes muny types of rhythm.Beginning with the individuals who exhibit the usual types of periodicity, we sce tho tides of inobriety rise periodically aud recedo nt very rog- ular intervals, Theso tides are ascribed variously to tho periodical changes in business prosperity, but there is no ono cause which doterminca this feature.It is vo doubt true, however, that the changes in business and the occasional temperance agitations do much to maintain the periodical feature of public incbriety.The psychology of these alternate waves of temperance agitation and debauchery is an interesting subject, as a writer has well suid, for it dewonstrates a fact of nervous action, which is that any ex- tremo is certain to be followed by a swing of all forces in the opposite direction sooner or later.This law always holds in politica in those countries which are governed by the people, In America public inebriety rises highest during the gencral election.Following this it begins to decline, and reaches the lowest ebb in about two years, when the careful watcher may see that tho tide is again rising.The American makes a business of in- ebriety as he docs of all other things, at least to this extent=he drinks to most desperate degradation when he enters upon a debauch.Once drink follows another in most desperate haste, and tho poisonous effect is quickly brought on.The foreigner sits in his beer garden and sips leisurely while ho smokes, talks and eats, whilo the American drinks hastily from the bar.For these reasons the secondary diseases, accidental deaths, aud fata) acute alcoholic poisonings are more provaicut in America.\u2014Dr.Leslie E.Keeley in Banner of Gold.Strong Drink In France, ' useful articles in modern use.Theve are ; est rubber producing country in the |

spirituous liquors of all kinds.Dr.Mug- van of the St.Ann's asylum has drawn a terrible picture of the evils of inebri- ety, and the result has been the foundation on English lines of a Young Men's Temperance association.Something like this has been tried before, but it did not succeed.Tho majority of the French penplo refuse to confine themselves to milk, coffee, water and sirups, and it will be a difficult task to indace them to believe that they can dispense with their white and red wines, More especially will it be difficult to convert the artisans and laborers to principles of total abstinence, The temperance advocates, however, think otherwise.They arc under tho impression that by dint of fulmination it will be possible to eradicate intemperance from the masses, and they are making strenuous efforts to bring about this desirablo state of things, \u2014Loudon Telegraph.Gladstone on Intoxicants.\u201cThere ia a general belief that alcoholic liquors tend to give greater

REDUCING RUBBER.| HOW ARTICLES OF USE ARE MADE | FROM THIS VALUABLE PRODUCT.A Long List From Hubber Bands to Sure gical Bupplics\u2014An lutevesting Description of How Bulbs For Syringes and Atomizers Are Made.Rubber is one of the most staple and but few uses to which the wonderful product cannot be put.It can be made aa pliable ns putty of as hard as wood, and is just as adapted for use ua u hair- piu as for a golf ball or a waterproof jacket.Few people, howover, are as familiar with the process of wanufacture as with the product itself.The larger part of our rubber goods comes from Brazil, which is tho great.handle their elastic material with an to the man who has wasted the greater part of a forenoon trying to mend a hole in his punctured tire.Although the larger part of rubber manufacturing is done by muchinery there is still considerable doue by hand.In making up goods for druggists, stationers and surgical supplies tho best grades of Pura rubber, the best in the world, ure generally used.The ordinary commercial rubber is gray, but its coloring is an cosy matter, This is donv by mechanically mixing with the rubber, after it is washed and dried, different kinds of pigmenta\u2014ox ide of zinc for white, lampblack for black, golden sulphuret of antimony for yellow and vermilion for red.The rubber mixed with the pigment is run through heavy steam heated rollers into thin sheets, Tho making of rubber bands is a simple process.Thin sheets of pure gum are wrapped around a form until it is shaped into a fiat tubo of the required thickness.This tube is then vulcanized, when it ia shipped off the form and run through à machine, which cuts it crosswise into strips, Rubber eruscra contain finely powdered pumice stove or emery dust.The abrazive muterials are mixed with the rubber mcchanicolly, which is then molded into shape and vulcanized on- der steam heat, Oue of the mont interesting processes in tho manufacture of rubber goods is that of bulbs.Long Lulbs, such as 5yr- inges and atomizers, ure made from two piccen of rubber, but round bulbs, such a8 pumps and balls, arc made from three pieces.For cutting the rubber zinc or galvanized iron patterns are used.Considerable cure is necessary in this, us the strength of tho seam depends upon the smooth fitting of the edges.Tho three purty for hollow balls may, however, be cat with à die.If tho bulb has a neck, small pegs of iron are first prepared by being cemented und wound with strips of rubber as a nucleus, After tho rubber is cut into the proper parts it is then brushed with cement tho whole length of the skived edges and thoroughly heated.The bulbmaker then takes the softened rubber, and taking a prepared peg places the neck on one piec on one wide of the rubber core and rnother neck piece on the op- porite side, then presses them flrmiy together, and, rolling the whole tube shaped picce botween thumb and forefinger, has finished the neck of the bulb, The next process is that of knitting the edges which form the seam.This is done by holding the finished neck toward the operator in his left hand, while with the thumb and forefinger of the right ho pinches the edges firmly together for nearly the whole distance around.Iuto the side aperture, which is left open, is poured a little water or liquid ammonia.The opening is then made still smaller, and as a final tonch the maker puts his lips to the orifice and blows full and hard into the bulb, The softened rubber under this pressure expands, the flattened shape is lost in a fuller and more rounded outline, while tho operator, with a quick nip of his teeth, closes the opening, the imprisoned air and water holding the sides apart in symmetrical corpulency.The partly made bulb is now passed on to the turncrs, who, armed with scissors with curved blades, carefully circle tho seams, cutting away all unevenness, till the whole exterior is ready for the mold.The bulbs, na soon as they leave the trimmers\u2019 hands, are laid in shallow pans filled with chalk.When taken from here, they arc carefully dusted with talc, so that the rubber will not adhere to the inside of the mold, A mold worker then takes one-half of the mold in bis left hand and with his right gently forces a bulb into it, capping it with the eccond half.Each bulb, if the pattern worker is skillful, will fit its wold; otherwise the finished bulb is apt to be imperfect.The molds arc run upon small tracks intothe vulcanizer.After they have been cured a sufficient time the vulcan- izcrs are opened and the cans are run under an ordinary shower bath, which quickly cools them, They are then un- keyed, the molds twisted open and the bulbs taken out.If the work be well done, the swelling of the liquid within its rubber prison has exerted so intense a force that every linc and letter within the mold is reproduced upon the outside of the bulb, while the salphur, combining with the heat, accomplishes the volcanization.: The final process takes place in the ¢ylinder room, wiicre in slowly revolving tumbling barrels the bulb undergoes a thorough scouring.When taken out of the cylinders, the dirty yellow color which tho bulbs bore on leaving the mold has disappeared, and they are now smooth, white and finished.The neck being cut off the required length, the bulb is ready for market or for the various fittings which accompany it as ad- syringe or stomiger, = © Auditors\u2019 fees juncta to tue Booms Gijon and Advertise ve - FINANCIAL STATEMENT of the Hunt- ingdon Agricultural Society, Division A, for the Year
