All communications ehould be ad dressed to REPUBLICAN NEWS ITEM, Laporte Pa., The progressive spirit of the Stroudsburg Normal School is made manifest in the fact that the Winter teijm opened up with an unusually large increas over tfie fall term. Tin advertising done during the early part of the fall term is one reason for this influx of students. Prof. Bible believes in keeping his school well to the front and does not hesitate to have the people know it through tin mediums of the news papers. They have a good school up in the moun tains of Monroe county and a most beautiful location. The rooms an the best furnished of any school prob ably in the state and every student speakes of the homelike comforts ol the institution. Free Trips to Paris in 1900. The great "Philadelphia Press" announces that it proposes to offer free trips to the wonderful exposition to be held in Paris next year. De tails of the offer will be given in next Sunday's "Philadelphia Press" (January 29). There will be other special features which will be found in another Sunday paper. It would be well, therefore,to make sure early in the week ol getting next Sunday's "Press." 1P;I Clu»rfm% The ordinary much-maligned tobacco cigarette, says a medical journal, must yield up the finest place as a destroyer of nerves and vitality and general ene my of mankind. Its successful rival, whlcli has appeared recently in the field, is the tea cigarette. It is made from v ibroken leavt of green tea mix ed with a little tea dust. Tne combina tion is moistened, rolled ami inserted in a paper wrapper so that outwardly It looks like an ordinary cigarette. The effects are peculiar. The smoker firsr experiences a thickening sensation of the head and is atllieted with a desire to sit down. This phase is followed by a period of intense exhilaration, which, presumably, accounts for the habit; the third phase is nausea and disgust for all food. The beginning of recovery is marked by a yearning ior tea in any form. The tea cigarette habit is said to b>? peculiarly difficult to overcome. An lievice. ' Formerly the ashes on steamship* were gathered into great cans, hoisted to the deCKs with more or less difficulty and thrown overboard. Among the new devices for labor saving iu this direction is a chute into which a very strong air current is forced. The ashes are placed in the chute as they ac cumulate and are almost instantly blown through this conductor into the sea. The amount of labor saved by this means can scarcely be appreciated by those who have not watched the wearisome dragging of the enormous quantity of refuse from the furnaces in steamships and large plants of this description. Uno l Work of tlie Ancient*. Eighteen hundred years ago or there abouts. the Roman emperor Trajan built a bridge across ue Danube, the piers of which are found by the Rou manian engine* rs solid enough to sus tain a new structure, which will unite „,the towns of Ternu Severln, iu Ron mania, and Gladova, in Servia. In the middle of the structure the statue jf Trajan will stand .our squares to all the winds that blow. School Children Provided For. At Roubaix, one of the socialist strongholds of France, the 11.000 pub lic school childreu receive free food and clothing at the expense of the town. Their dinner at school consists of soup, bread, vegetables, meat and a glass of wine. At the beginning of snmmer and of winter each child re ceives a complete suit of clothes. A Strai»K« Pet- Perhaps the strangest pet ever kept by a man was a wasp which Sir John Lubbock caught in the Pyrenees and resolved to tame. lie began by teach ing it 10 take its meals on his hand, and in a very short space of time it grew to expect to be fed in that way. Very Kurd Wonil, Some of i.te petrified wood found In Arizona, it is said. Is so h<trd flint steel tools will not work It, thq petrifications being orly three degrees'less in hard ness than n rtlnmnwl Italians Are Poorest. According to the tinle prepared by the Government officials, natives from Italy are the poorest immigrants ar riving in the United States, while those from Germany and England are the wealthiest. The average per capita of all persons from Italy arriving dur ing Jnly was from Germanv $52.0 C and England J51.0U. Bernice Echoes. District President John A.
