eerie . .. —— THE PASSING OF THE CHILDREN’S AID SocIETY.—We are truly sorry to record in our columns the passing away of ‘‘The Children’s Aid Society.”” This organization has been in existence for over fifteen years, and with the coming of the new year, will be extinct, unless some one—through the love of humanity -—will come forward and take up the work. Even though the work has been conducted so quietly by a few ladies of our town, the results have been most helpful to the community, not only financially but morally. We are grieved and really ashamed that our citizens have not co-operated with the ladies in this labor of love, or at least given support and encouragement which it should have, for we know of no more worthy charity. There are many difficult cases which this society has solved, and had they not acted promptly not only would the county bave suffered, hut the tax-payers as well. Through them homeless and neglected little ones driftiug—no one knows where—bave been rescued and cared for, and made good and useful citizens. The ladies have, moreover, removed from our county a num- ber of wayward girls and you can imagine what this alone means, morally, to the ris- ing generation. Well may the rulers of our Common- wealth grant the little financial aid asked for in such work as this. What is saved the State in crime, loss and disgrace can never be computed, aud as a matter of dol- lars and cents, no investment pays better dividends. ‘‘Wealth, power and fame have great weight in the scales of the material ist, but in God’s scale a life devoted $o hu- manity to the least of his creatures, out- weighs them all.” The president of the Children’s Aid re- quests us to thank, through our columns, the attorneys and physicians who have given gratanitous service for the aid of the little ones, and, also the directors of the poor, with whom they have always worked most harmoniously. Report of Children’s Aid Society since re-organization in 1894: Children cared for 67. From this nam- ber 9 were adopted, 15 returned to parents after being cared for through a criti- cal period, 4 died, 2 married, 3 in institu- tions for reformation, 11 self-supporting. The remaining ones are in good free homes. Donations in ten years, $16. Received from overseers of the poor for transferring chil- dren, boarding and clothing, $65.37. State appropriation, $100 per year. For five years $30 of this sum was given towarde the sup- port of ‘‘The Industrial School” for the training of homeless girls. The State appropriation has been discon- tinned, owing partly to lack of interest among our citizens and partly to misrep- resentation and ignorance of the noble work being done by this society on the part of a state official whose business it ought to be to know and help instead. of injuring, even though inadvertently, this excellent and charitable work. As a community we owe a vote of thanks to Mrs. Harriet Kurtz and Miss Natt, who have labored in this cause so faithfully and with so little en- couragements and it is to be our shame that there are no other women willing to under- take this good work. See A THE OPEN GAME SEASON.—The near approach of the opening of the hunting sea- son makes the publication of the following dates when game may be lawfully killed in Pennsylvania timely.

The old people’s meeting held by the Lemont United Evangelicals, Sunday, was highly appreciated by all that had the pleas- ure to attend, the sermon was delivered by Rev. J. F. Shultz, the pastor, from the very appropriate text found in Psalms 37 and 25th verse, and to make the meeting seem like the ones they used to hold in the years long since fled when they went from house to house or used barns in place of churches and such soul inspiring old hymns were sung as, “On Jordans Stormy Banks I Stand,” *‘Come Thou Fount of Every-Blessing,” ‘Is My Name Written There,”’ ‘‘God Be With You Till We Meet Again,” ‘Lead Me Saviour Lest I Stray,” and Leaning on The Everlasting Arm, which they sang at this service.

Sr. Nicuonas.—There will be much food for thought for wide-awake girls and boys in George Ethelbert Walsh's article in the October St. Nicholas, entitled “What a Lump of Coal Could Do.” He shows thata small lump of coal, sud- denly converted into steam, if its energy were utilized, would be sufficient to run an electric- motor car full of passengers two and a-half miles at the rate of twenty miles an hour, or would carry a train of ordinary cars and a heavy Pull- man sleeper and dining-car one-sixth of a mile at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour. The article will prove an interesting exposition of the transformation wrought in the labor field by man’s utilization of coal and its latent powers. Sr. N1cHOLAS FOR 1905.—Mr. Charles H. Caffin, the well-known art critic, has prepared a series of articles for young folks under the title “How to Study Pictures,” which will be a feature of St. Nicholas Msgazine during the coming year. A set of beautiful copies of the pictures selected by Mr. Caffin from the world’s masterpieces has been prepared especially for St. Nicholas and will — Montgomery & Co. accompany the articles. In each article Mr. Caffin will contrast the work of some great artist with that of another equally great, showing a single picture painted by each and pointing out the likenesses and differences between the two pictures and the methods of the two painters. A series of six brief papers is to be contributed to St. Nicholas for the coming yearby Dr. E. E. Walker under the title “Until the Doctor Comes.” They are ‘emergency talks’ telling briefly and clearly what to do in case of accident or sudden illness (such as burns, sunstroke, apparent drowning, etec.,) in the interval between sending for the doetor and his arrival. Dr. Walker is to describe a few simple, safe, and helping things that can be done, and a few mistakes that can be avoided. New Advertisements. Y OST.—On or near College turnpike, a black cloth cape.
