Pott, district passenger agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul R. R , was in Emporium last Fri day, accompanied by his son Robert. John is a hustler and what he does not know about rates to the west, or any point in the United States, is not worth knowing. Write to him for rates when you want to take a trip. His address is Williamsport or any child will point him out to you, if you call. Why Towns Die. More towns die for the want of con fidence on the part of the business men, and lack of public spirit, says an exchange, that from the rivalry of neighboring towns or adverse sur roundings. When a man in search of a home or business location goes to a town and finds everything brimful of hope and enthusiasm over the pros >ects of the place, and everybody at work to build up the town, he soon becomes imbued with the spirit, and as a result he drives down his stake and goes to work with the same inter est. When, however, he goes to a own and every one expresses doubt and apprehension in the future pros perity of the place, moping about and ndulging in complaints about imagin iry evils which are likely to befall the town he naturally feels that it is no place for him, and at once shakes the lust from his feet, while he pulls with all possible speed for some other town. Consequently, try and make a live, en terprising, progressive town out of the one in which you live. When you are working for or saying a good thing for your town you are accomplishing all the more for yourself. Right You Are, Bulletin. The anti-Quay force* at Harrisburg, after having hounded ex- State Treas urer Haywood to his death, are now endeavoring to divert attention from Senator Quay's improving chances by indulging in frenzied and furious howls over expected briberies and other crimes of which they alone are under suspicion. Really, their dirty cam paign of slander, villification and murder, is beginning to putrify on their hands, and is a stench in the nostrils of all deceivt people. Unable to maintain their campaign without the aid of Democrats they are fearful that a few of the honest members of the latter party will serve the state by voting for Senator Quay's re-election and thereby ending the campaign of character assassination which has re sulted in the murder of one of the state's best citizens. It is time indeed for the loyal Republicans of Pennsyl vania to assert themselves by driving the Wanamaker gang to the wall and holding them there until they receive the political condemnation that is their due.—Williamsport Bulletin. Notes and News. March certainly does come in like a lamb. What will the harvest be? Try Grape-Nuts—food from grain to brain. DAY'S. Rev. N. 11. Schenk, who for the past two years has been pastor of the Chest nut Avenue Methodist church, Altoona, has accepted a call from the First Methodist church, of Lead City, South Dakota.—Altoona Mirror. Clayton E. Palmer, Chief of Police of Punxsutawney, was shot and seriously wounded by a negro whom he was trying to arrest for larceny, last Friday. The negro, in company with another of the same race, entered the clothing store of M. H. Morris and stole a pair of trousers and a vest valued at $lO, and made ready to leave town on the train for Bellwoodat once. Mr. Morris notified Chief Palmer and he went after the men, finding them on the train. The thieves opened fire and at the first shot hit Palmer in the face, the ball entering just back of the mouth and ranging downward and backward, loding just under the skin about the scapula. During a revival in a neighboring town, a colored preacher, who had ' read much of the efficacy of sensational methods in preaching, determined to try it on his own flock. Accordingly a small boy was taken into his confidence as a confederate and stationed on the roof just above his pulpit. In the lad's keeping was intrusted a pigeon, which was to be let loose in the church from a convenient hole at the proper mo ment. The church was packed, and the preacher having stormed about for time, raised his voice and cried: "And the Holy Ghost descended in the form of a dove." But no dove appeared. He repeated the sentence. Still no dove. At the third cry a black face appeared at the hole in the ceiling, and the query came: "Pa'son, a cat done eat de Holy Ghost. But Use got de cat Shall I from'm down ?—Sharps ville Advertiser. The editor of the Louisville Courier- Journal, Henry Watterson, recently eloquently said: "We must prepare to take our place in the procession of nations. Eighty millions of people cannot be passive. They eannotescape the world's movement. The die was cast when Dewey raised the Stars and Stripes on tha the other side of'a world never too large and never too narrow,' and for weal or woe—rallying under the banners alike of Christianity and Republicanism—America is embarked on the shoreless ocean of modern civ ilization, carrying in her own ships her own ideas and wares, marked, quoted and signed to the furthermost end of the earth."

Paper Read Before the Farmers' Insti tute, by Mrs. Marcus Wright. "A Model Farm Home." We shall not attempt to include all that relates to home life on the farm iu this paper; the theme is too broad, but confine ourselves to the woman in the home. If I hoped to induce my town bred sister to see anything inviting in a farm home, I would know 1 had set myselt an Herculean task. In some minds farm life is associated with squalor, ignor ance, defilement; something degrading. My friend, if honest labor is defilement, then we plead guilty; but when you presume our parlor and pig sty one and the same apartment we grow indignant. That "cleanliness is next to Godliness" is believed and practiced in country homes, the same as 111 city, and in the home I would present to-day neither filth nor ignorance hold sway. "Home," Webster tells us, "isone'sown house." A farm home suggests many things additional—a place to be supremely happy or utterly miser able; a model farm home? My fair critic, go back with me to the beginning. "And the Lord God planted a garden and there He put the man whom He had formed. AndOod said, it is not good for man to be alone, I will make him an helpmeet." And their bridal present was no brown stone front in the city, nor cottage in town; but a garden, the annex of a farm home. And it was not to be a home of idleness, us some teach, but labor was given him by the command to dress it and keep it. Adam represents the first husbandman, a farmer. Would ye dare belittle what the Divine hand has placed His seal of approval 011. But man fell from his high estate. A mortgage was placed 011 that pastoral home (No sir; we are not here to discuss whether Mr. or Mrs. Adum placed the mortgage, we might disagree; but it was there.) and that it was foreclosed has been demonstrated from Adam down. Man the bread winner, woman the home keeper, and if she lost you Kden she alone can restore it. Home is where the heart is, you will admit, also that the home is sometimes where the heart is not. We fear this i- too often the case on the farm. Many women have drifted into country homes who found too late that there was nothing congenial, but much that was dis tasteful in their surroundings. Such have no representation in our subject, for stireiy 110 pride nor interest can be aroused where there is no pleasure. There can be no success in any walk of life, where the wife pulls oneway and the husband the opposite, is a homely but true adage. There fore the first requisite in a farm home is to be in touch with your work; interested in every de partment, from ploughing and sowing to reaping and harvesting; from baking, brewing, canning, down to pig feeding or poultry raising, before you can hi.pe to build that model home. Is the housewife expected to do the out door as well as the indoor planning, is asked. Decidedly, no! But every woman should be educated to the station she is called onto fill. Would you think it strange or unseemly to see the merchant's wife behind his counter offering their wares at his place of buisness, or filling a bookkeeper's place in his office. Again, a drug gist wife who can go into his store and compound syrups ami tonics and not do murder, you would laud to the skies. Then why not the farm wile, should circumstances make it necessary, be able to conduct or direct the affairs at the farm. Js there anything improper in her directing or say ing to the man of all work, "husband was called away last night, but you goon and finish the ploughing in the south meadow and fit it for corn; here it is the middle of May and the com must be planted at once." Ah, thrice blest is the farm wife, when the wail 01 widowhood is forced from a breaking heart, who can gather her orphan babes to her bosom and feel their sustenance does not depend on rental, or this working on share system on that farm, but can take up the broken threads where John laid them down and reap the harvest, she feels there was no dishonor iu her conducting* Such a woman we would place at the head of our model farm home to-day. It is a woman and only a woman; a woman all by herself, if she likes, and without any man to help her, who can turn a house into a home. It is the natural condition of things that all women should be housekeepers, and yet we are all ac quainted with families where the work is never done. 011 the other hand, we can recall house holds where there never seems any work to do. The secret in the latter home is system. A certain work for each day as near as possible, and certain hours are frequently necessary, for instance would you leave till nnoday a churning to grow rancid under the heat of a July day, and then ' expect to harvest the sweet, golden lined butter that the early morning's work would have brought you; and many a loaf of sour, soggy bread owes its existance to neglect of proper at tention indue time. My sister, did you never hear that the sure way to a husband's affections is his stomach? I pray you never bar the way by unpalatabiC bread or pastries. Picked up dinneis ure an abomination 111 any home, as a rule. The master of the house loves to feel that nothing is too good for his table, even if company is not expected. And the unbidden guest will never feel untimely if the house wife always insists that proper attention be paid to the iinen and setting of her table, fully as important, we think, as the menu thereon. Let 11s remember this is a country of small farms, in which men cultivate with their own hands their acres, drawing not only their sus tenance but also a spirit of independence and manly freedom, and the success of the farmer is owing largely to the cababilitics of the wife. Though not accomplished, she should be thrifty, and have learned how to wisely spend the money committed to her charge. To do this she should be able to systematically direct the affairs of a household. I would have her no drudge, for we think no house is worthy the healthy, cheery vigor of the wife and mother, no room ever so beautiful as the smile 011 a wife's face. It is the overworked, nervous, .retful wife that has made the club and corner grocery formidable rivals in her home. If the good man has learned to smoke a pipe, and most of them have, pray Jet him smoke ii in peace at his own fireside, even though you fear for the little ones growing up around you, the example of the father in this. More to be feared is that son John may also find home a prison house and follow in the footstens of the father. Never shut up the best room in the house, but when the evenings grow too chilly for the veranda, gather in the parlor and while husband reads his farm journals and scans the markets in the daily papers, do not, by repeated cautions as to the disarrangement of book or bric-a-brac, make the family feel they are simply guests in their own home. All this over care is bad. Where may a man hope to lay aside his cares and put his weary feet up for rest if not in his own home? Use the home. As it was said of the Sabbath so would I say of the home, "the home was made for man; not man for the home." Farm life, they tell us, is so lonely, there are no amusements, nothing exciting or ennobling about it. Perhaps not, but nevertheless our great men, have been born and reared in the country. Washington, Jefferson, Webster, Lincoln, (Ireely, Holmes, and the martyr Garfield—let us give more than passing thought to that little back woods home. When the husband and lather went to rest and left the wife with four babes, did she scatter the children and break up the home? No, she stuck to the farm, against the advice of friends, and by her own pluck and in dustry, combined with intelligence and a belief in the promise "the widow and the fatherless i will never forsake," raised her family and gave to the Nation one of its ablest statcsmeu. There will be no mistake on the question of expansion so long as mothers "Garfield" rear the sons that uphold the helm of state—they are the products of a model farm home. The upholstering lias less to do than refine ment in building up the home. Mothers, careful deportment of self, if you would have husband and children ape good behavior also. Remember that it has been said "men make laws, women make manners." With good, wholesome read ing, such as every farm wife should insist on as the most important furnishing, music and games for the evening, social purity predominating in your selection of guests, no farmer's daughter will ever go hero mad or hero kissing, even though the man had sunk whole navies. The marriage tie makes the twain oue. Farm life should be a like partnership, in which the wife shares with the husband the duties, cares and economics. No wife should ask luxuries or expenditures beyong her husband's income. It is much easier to incur debt than to pay the interest thereon. No debt, no mortgages for our model home. The good wife prefers her modest calico to the merchant's silk. Her rule is pay as you go, and if marketing is delayed by the sloth fulness of biddy iu filling the egg basket, she never troublos the butcher to open his ledger for surloin or roast, but turns to the much abused pork and beans which our city cousin always associates with .Johnny-cake and farm life. My dainty darling, there are associations that bring more defilement to mind and body than pork and Johnny-cake. The cooking may paint the housewife's face until she have the appearance of a broiled lobster, still it is a more desirable tint than the sea shell bloom so often seen on the cheek of the woman of fashion. There is much inviting in the successful farm er's surroundings. No hedge rows or cesspools mar the beauty or condemn the locality. A herd of brown eyed Jerseys graze on the hill side, fat horses, all modern implements of husbandry, spacious barns and farm house tell of prosperity. Still we do not quote him as master of a model farm home. His success is too often obtained at the sacrifice of his wife's comfort and health. It is rush and hurry from early morn till long after the man of the house has retired; with the housewife, no time for pleasure or improvement for her—she is simply a part of the old time machinery that has not been crowded out by the new. Health is wealth. If there isanything will take the courage out of man it is an invalid wife. How many have said when too late,"l would I give all I have if that woman could stand pain lesa and strong at my side to begin life over again empty handed." If I were a young man I would certainly marry health. Many other personalities are to be sought, but after virtue give me health. My whistlin< farmer boy, look twice at the rosy cheeked farm lassie before you transplant that pale town lily to the uncongenial surroundings of a farm home. I would ask the giver of every good gift, a mate to walk by my side, with tireless feet at the start at least. In choosing a help meet there should be no haste, while time waits for no man a woman will. I R.
