Just after ngon on the Fourth of July, a Lewistown man named Burlow had an automobile wreck near Ardenheim. Burlow had a car f till and was speeding to llun tingdon to see the Huntingdon and Eeedsville game. At one of the horse shoe curves jusV be low Huntingdon, the car skidded and went completely over. How all the occupants escaped any in jury is a miracle but no one was hurt although all missed the game. J. Ogden Armour, the Chicago packer, returning from a trip to Europe, does not believe this coun try will see "$10 hogs" again. "Hogs normally should range around $9. , If the west reaps a bountiful corn, wheat and oats' crop this year, we may hope for lower prices. The same crop problem will have a big effect on the price of meats. If the crop of grain is short, the supply of cattle and hogs will be abort." A decrease in circulation per capita of 49 cents on July 1 as compared with a year ago is shown by the latest treasury statement on that subject." On July 1, 1999, the amount which each man, woman and child in the United States would have had were all the money equally di vided, was $35.01;. last Friday it was $34 52.

When her father asked her why she made such low marks in arithme tio she replied thus: "Well, it is like this: The teacher says, 'Four plus 8 minus 8 multiplied by 2 divided by 6' and asks me what the answer is. She talks bo fast I can't' keep up with her, and I have to guess the answer, and I always guess wrong." Harper' Weekly,- WHIPS COVE. Whew! but it's hot! And the farmer are surely getting the benefit of it, too with sweat drop as big as cherries rollini off their sunburnt brows, and wading in work up to their ears. But, brethren, don't get blue. There's a better day coming, bye and bye. By the way, a little leaven would come in mighty good just now.

Zack Gabble Tells How He Had Hta Fling Along With the Rett. "Yes, air, gtntlemln, I've had my fling along with the rest of 'em," said old Zack Gabble to three or four of his cronies assembled In front of the postomce waiting for lieanboro's dally mail to be distributed. "La, I ain't alius been the proper an' dignified per son I am to-day an' that I reckon I ort to be at my time o' life.

An' many's the time I've dumped a hull pound o' the best mixed candy at thutty cents a pound Into a girl's lap, or blowed in fifty or seventy-five cents for some piece of Jew'lry or trinket for her, an' if she wanted a dish o' Ice-cream all she had to do was to say so, although I never was what you might call wine an' wlmmen crazy, for I was alius temp'rance an' alius mean to be. All the same, boys, I've had my little fling an' Bowed my wild oats with a purty free hand. I got that scar above my left eye in a fight with a feller that tried to cut me out with a purty-as-ft-peach girl I took to Hlngln'-school one night.

During the Inst few years the sup position that the earth is growing colder bns received a setback from the consideration of the consequences which result from the discovery of ra dium In the earth's rocks. If radium exists throughout the Interior of the globe in the same quantities In which It appears in the surface rocks, then such 1b the volume of heat which It would render up that the earth ought to be growing hotter Instead of cold er. If, furthermore, the earth were slightly increasing In temperature, amount of rainfall precipitated from the atmosphere would become greater rather than less, and as, at the same time, the amount of water shut up In the earth's rocks would also be forced out In greater quantities by In creasing heat. It would not be possible to suppose thnt the earth's surface was becoming dryer. Therefore the supposition that the earth has exhibited within historic time any general drying up or any tendency to revert to a glacial epoch has been regarded with more and more suspicion, and the hypotheses have been substituted that either the apparent variations of cllmnte are lo cal, or else that they are the results of some seesaw of conditions, the causes of which remain to be discov ered. In short, whatever test be applied, It becomes extremely hard to show that the climate of any portion of the civilized world has appreciably chang ed within historic time. The English at Table. The English have for centuries been accused of "taking their pleas ures sadly." The latest gibe is found in a letter written by "A German" to the London Dally Mall. He thus de scribes the dinner scene at a great ho tel: Elegant toilets, splendid surround ings and an absence of sound. Slow ly, stiffly, like automatons, the dining ladies and gentlemen proceed with their meal. The scene Is undoubtedly very Impressive, but oh, so sad! Amid the sparkle of jewels and sil ver and crystal and porcelain, amid a scene that fairly invites, begs, cries for a bright smile,' a low rippling laugh, or at least that deep, animated hum that makes Itself noticed wher ever there is a large gathering, the diners sit as in expectation of the Judgment-day. Sometimes somebody does speak. One word or two. The lips hurJly part. The other nods his bead in terrible earnest Then silence reigns supreme again. ' t A friend, who had been In England, once related a story, the point of which I have. never fully appreciated until now. Like myself, the first time he had entered a dlntng-room in London he looked round in surprise. Finally toward the end of the meal he called the waiter. "Tell me, please," he asked, "does anybody ever laugh here?" "Well," replied the' waiter, "I am sorry to say that we have had com plaints, but not often, sir not often." Hindering the Boom. The pride of locality, which Is so Insisted upon in certain email West ern towns, had an amusing illustra tion, says a writer in Puck, in a place by the name of Puxico. The landlord of the tavern was telling a friend about the arrest of "a feller for walk ing down Main street in the middle of the afternoon In his stocking feet in Jail now," continued the nar rator, when the other interrupted. "Why," cried his friend, "it isn't a crime, .Is It, for a person to walk In his stocking feet? Personal liberty, my dear sir" "Aw," replied the eloquent land lord, "personal liberty 1b proper enough as long as It don't Interfere with the rights of other people. Any thing tends to add to the silence of our little city is an offense against the general welfare. We're public-spirited here, even if we ain't exactly metropolitan." Not Even the First 8tep. ( Mr. Morse having bought a new bi cycle of the most improved pattern, presented bis old one to Dennis Hal loran, who did errands and odd Jobs for the neighborhood. "You'll find the wheel useful when you're in a hurry, Dennis," he said. The young Irishman was loud in hit thanks, but regarded the wheel doubt fully. "I mistrust 'twill be a long while be foor I can ride it," be said. "Why, have you ever tried?" asked Mr. Morse. "I have," said Dennis, gloomily. "A frlnd lint me the loan o' his wishes he has having the moomps. Twas free weeks I had It, an' what wld practising night an' morning, I ntver got so I could balance niesilf standing still, let alone riding on It" Battle Royal with a Whale. The enormous strength of a large whale was demonstrated by the recent experience of the steam whaler, Sam son, in the Norway seas. Off Sandef Jord the cannoneer of the Samson succeeded In lodging a harpoon in the flank of a whale, which In the eyes of the sailors was of monstrous length. The whale took to flight, tow. lng the little steamer after It. When the rope had run out to Its full length the engine was reversed, so that, nor mally, It would have given a back ward speed of 10 knots. Still the whale continued to tow the vessel dur ing a period of eight hours, at the end of which the cable parted, and the chagrined crew, saw their prey escape with the harpoon. , . f ' s,j9tno)8n3 a jjo eaeid i vr ptra )(BHm euia I sauiiieuiog., -8utms 'juqjvq H purtx M'j .u9 li.
