Dies Praying on Railroad Trad Young Mother, Temporarily Deranged, Kneels In Front of Lacka wanna Train and Awaits Death.With Clasped Hands j Raised Toward Heaven. Kneeling in the center of the track, with her hands uplifted in prayer, Mrs. Henry C. Boehme of Orange. N. J., calmly awaited the certain death which overtook her two minutes latei? when a Lackawanna railroad train ran her down. Mrs. Boehme was only twenty-three years old. Since the birth of a sou three months ago her reason has been unsettled, and she has been almost constantly watched. She managed to elude surveillance and started for New York, it is believed. Shortly before noon, as a Lacka wanna train was approaching the Roseville station, bound for Jersey City, Engineer Losaw saw a woman scrambling down the embankment to ward the roadbed. She was richly dressed, and the engineer had no hint of her purpose until, with the train within '200 feet of her. the woman stepped into rhe center of the track and. throwing herself on her knees. lifted her clasped hands toward heaven. There was no time for the engineer to stop. He closed the throttle of the engine, reversed the lever and janiined down the brakes. As he closed bi. eyes in horror he had a vision of u pretty face, about which the wind was tossing a mass of brown hair, smiling at the approaching engine. When the train was finally brought to a standstill it was found that the victim had beeu mortally hurt, al though almost miraculously her face had uot received a scratch. Dr. George Herbert Taylor, one of the passengers on the train, recognized the woman immediately as a patient whom he had recently attended and gave her name and address to the authorities. She was unconscious when found, and she died just as a hospital ambu lance reached the scene. Her family was notified immediately, and the un fortunate woman's body was removed to her late home in Orange. Burst Asunder by Her Cargo. Leaking Wooden Vessel, Filled With Swelling Wood Pulp, Cracks Open Like a Kernel of Popcorn and Sinks In Mid-Atlantic. Seven Survivors Rescued Almost Dead. Burst asunder by her cargo of wood pulp, which swelled more and more as tbe ship filled with water, the Nor wegian wooden bark Germanic, thirty years old, went down in mid-Atlantic, killing her captain, J. Johannesen, who was struck on the head by the mizr'.en boom. Seven sirvivors of her crew of six teen were brought into port by the Hofham Newton, a tank steamer. They were nearly dead from hunger, thirst, exposure and salt water boils when picked up by the tanker. The remain ing eight men, who left the bursting vessel as she disappeared beneath tbe rollers, wi'l probably never be beard from again. The crazy bark sailed from Wey njor.th, N. S., for Fleet wood, England. She could uot have taken a worse car go. She leaked as a matter of course, and everybody who risked his life on i orphan of Moss, Norway, made a dive and picked up the boat. Captain Jo hannesen hung on by a line as he jumped. After a little he came to the surface and made a few strokes. His head suddenly went under. They saw his hand ou the mizzen boom. When the face appeared again, it was black, and he made uo sign. Theu they knew that the captain had been killed by the mizzen boom hitting him ou the head. His comrades took bis body Into the boat and on th? next day gave it sea burial. With compass and scanty sail the mate steered for the Euglish channel. The boats kept together until the sec end night, after which the second mate's boat, with eight men in It,, was not seen again. Provisions were so scarce that only crumbs and drops of fresli water were STEAMER PASSED CLOSE BY AND DID LITTLE LANTERN. NOT NOTICE THEIU her knew she would leak, but they be lieved that the windmill and their mus cle could ;teep her afloat during one more trip. They had never sailed with wood pulp before. The weight of water dragged her down more and more. Her decks were almost awash. It did no good to pump longer, because the seas fell Into her faster than the crew could get the wa ter ont. They stuck to her to the last, wheu with the wind blowing with hurricane force her decks burst opeu, the cabin washed away and the stern broke off and dropped into the sea. There was barely time to stock the two boats with a limited supply of food and 'resh water. Their position was then 47.32 north and 40.17 west. The captatn was going In the boat with Mate John L. Svensen, but stayed till last The mate and the two boys, one the captain's nephew, the other an doled out. They almost went mad from thirst. Thrice their boat filled, but they baled it out again. After a storm they wrung their clothes for a few drops of moisture to quench theii thirst. When the Ilotbam Newton, from Middlesborough, picked them up, they were so weak that they fell down on the deck of rhe tanker. It was two days before they could tell their sensH tlonal story. Eight days they had beeu in the boat. They had been four days with out fresh water aud five without food. They had sailed M<ki miles In the life boat and were found in 4S.15 aud 20.41. The hardest thing of all was to see a big steamship pass close by and not notice their tiny l?utern. They almos gave up hope of being rescued aftei this disheartening event, aud when they were jacked up at last they werd in the very depths of despair. Asleep For Forty-Three Months. At a meeting of the German Psycho logical society iu Berlin Professor Eu lenburg, the famous authority on nerv ous disorders, mentioned the case of a man under his care who has been is a record of its kind.

How C ? r. j Jci ry Can Be Easily Cic.insd. It !?? to keei? jewels in boxwood sawdtv Umu :?. of in velvet lined cases, as u.vdust is very cleans ing. Rubbing ?-. Itli a piece of soft chamois is also a good polisher. Many good jewels are discolored by water, and for these the chamois Is ab solutely necessary. Turquoises turn green if wet. aud pearls become black. These stones may be cleaned by means of a gentle polishing with a piece of chamis or with a dry brush contain ing soft bristles. To clean diamonds soak them in lukewarm water to which a few drops of ammonia have been added. Then take out each piece separately.and rub with a soft toothbrush that has been dipped in lukewarm soapsuds made from pure custile soap, rinse in luke warm water and put away to dry in the sawdust. The sawdust gets in all the openings in the setting and so proves more cleansing than anything else you could use. When you take them out shake off the sawdust, and they will be found to be clear and brilliant without a Haw or the tiniest speck of dust. To clean gold ornaments when un adorned with gems soak them in soapy lukewarm water to which a few drops of ammonia have been added. Polish them thoroughly with a toothbrush and dry completely with a piece of chamois. Seal riugs can in this way be made to glitter almost like dia monds. To clean chains composed of close links between which all sorts of dust particles can collect put them to soak in a bottle containing a mixture of soapsuds and prepared chalk. After a few hours shake the bottle well and pour off the lather; then rinse in cold water and dry as thoroughly as pos sible. How to Keep Cheese. Housewives often are dismayed nt finding the cheese which they intend ed to last several days at least quite spoiled the second day, und the fault lies entirely with the grocer, who must have sent bad cheese in the first place. Cheese spoils more quickly In hot than in cold weather, and the pre ventive Is to keep it in the icebox. The fine imported varieties will not keep at all, not more than a day or two. says the Chicago Tribune, so It Is best to consider just what kinds will and buy them only until cold weather comes. Roquefort, Camembert, the useful Swiss cheese and the home made cottage cheese are about the only ones to be relied upon. Dip a piece of clean cheesecloth In salty water to wrap the Swiss cheese in and keep in the icebox, changing cloth every day. For Roquefort have the cloth dry and lay the pneknge directly on ice. only kee, .g off long enough to serve. Keep the homemade in a jar or it will spoil. How to Buy Shoes. "People would lind less difficulty with ready made shoes," said an experi enced salesman, "if they would stand up to fit them on Instead of sitting down. Nine persons out of ten, par ticularly women, want a comfortable chair while they are fitting a shoe, and it is with the greatest difficulty that you can get them to stand for a few minutes, even after the shoe Is fitted. Then when they begin walking about they wonder why the shoes are not so comfortable as they were at first trial. A woman's foot is considerably smaller when she sits in a chair than when she walks about. Exercise brings a larger quantity of blood Into the feet, aud they swell appreciably. In buying shoes this fact should be borne in mind." How to Clean Vases. For the stains which often mark deep vases when they are in constant use the same treatment as that for water bottles should be followed. Put potato parings into the vase, with water enough to cover the stains, leaving them there overnight. Theu empty them out and wash in the usual way. Repeat if necessary. A cleaning pad may be made by cutting a groove around a long stick near one end aud tying securely by means of the groove a bit of cloth doubled up so that it makes a round, ball-like covering to the tip. With this all sorts of ugly stains can be got at which would oth erwise be impossible. How to Vary School Lunches. To vary the children's school lunches fill the sandwiches with mixed fruits and nuts. WaHh. stone and seed equal weights of figs, raisins and dates and put them through a meat chopper with half the weight In mi^ed and prepared nuts. Feed '.he chopper, alternating the fruit and the nuts, a little at a thne, until they are all chopped and mixed. Pack it down tight in baking powder cans, and when molded slice off the slices aud put between bread and butter. How to Amuse Ailing Children.

CUTICUHA CURED Heart Strength E Southern Woman Suffered With Itching, Burning Rash?Drove ? Her Nearly Crazy?Her Baby Had Sore on Neck, and Two Other Babies Had Skin Troubles?Calls CUTICURA A STAND-BY THAT NEVER FAILS HER "I just can't say enough for the Cuti cura Remedies, I can't find words high enough to express my thanks to God for hearing of the wonderful remedies. My baby had a running sore on his neck and nothing that I did for it took effect until I used Cuticura. My face was nearly full of tetter or some similar skin disease. It would itch and, after scratching, it burned so that I could hardly stand it. Two cakes of Cuti cura Soap and a box of Cuticura Oint ment cured me. Two years after it broke out on my hands and wrist. I cured it for a while, hut it came again in the summer. Sometimes I would go nearly crazy for it itched so badly. I used ten dollars' worth of so-called blood medicines which did no good at all, then I went back to my eld stand-by, that had never failed mo. One set of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent did the work. One set also cured my uncle's baby whose head was a cake of seres, and I know of another woman's baby who was in the same fix and nothing else did'fmy good. I speak a word of praise for Cuticura whenever I see a case that needs it. Mrs. Lillie Wilcher, 770 Eleventh St., Chattanooga. Term., Feb. 10, 1907."
