HICKS ON THE WEATHER.—Rev. Irl R
Hicks’ prognostications for the last two
weeks of July weather are varied enough
to suit most anyhody and are as follows:
A regular storm period covers the 15th to
18th, central on the 17th. Notwithstand-
ing anybody can safely predscs that it will
he warm in July, we predict that is will
be warmer at sometimes than others, and
that this period—the 15 to the 19th—will
lead up to ove of July’a warmest periods.
More thunder storms and local ‘‘cloud-
barsts’’are probable about the 17th to 19th.
A Venus revulsion to very coul might be
normally expected immediately after these
thunder storms, hut the new moon at a
solar eclipse node falls on the 21st. This
fact calls for prolonged high temperature,
low barometer and threatening, if not
stormy conditions over the 2lst into the
next storm period.
A reactionary storm period is cential on
the 220d and 23rd, in which storm and
seismic disturbance will be reported from
wide extremes of the globe. to
rising barometer and some cooler will fol-
low these reactionary distarbances for two
or three days, say from the 22d to the 25th
progressively from west to east,
A regular storm period runs from the
26th to the 30th. heing censral on the 18th.
As early as the 26th the last storm period
in July will show decided indications of
approaching summer storms. Daring Fri-
to Monday the 30th high tem-
perature, low barometer and threatening
thunder gusts will pass eastwardly over
most parts of the country.

ing attempt to break out of the Centre
county jail was frustrated, last Satardas,
through the timely discovery of a young
Italian prisoner and bis prompt votification
of same to Sheriff Kline. The prisover who
made the preprations to take French leave
was none other than the somewhat notor
ious French Canadian, Nester Sirgey, who
isin jail for horse stealing.
Saturday morning Sirgey was sent to the
bath 100m to take a bath. While doing so
a young Italian prisoner wens into Sirgey's
cell, which was No. 1, ou the upper tier,
next the women’s departments. His atten-
tion was at once attracted to some stone
and mortar under Sirgey’s bed and a closer
inspection disclosed the fact that two goud
sized holes had been dug practically through
the jail wall. The Italian lost no time iu
notifying Sheriff Kline of his discovery aud
Sirgey was at oace transferred to one of the
steel lived cells. An examination bronght
to light a piece of iron, evidently broken
from bis bed, with which the digging had
been done, while the holes and the stone
and mortar were kept hidden by the hed.
Since he has been transferred to a steel I
cell Sirgey has become very despondeunt
and constantly threatens to commis suic de.
In fact, he did eat a couple cakes of soap
with suoicidal ivtent. Several times he
butted his head against the sides of the cell
in an attempt to dash out his brains, but
80 far none of his rashuess bas resulted in
anything serious. Sirgey is the man ar-
rested und now awaiting trial for stealing
a horse from the barn of William Miller, of
Taylor township. His home is in French-
ville, Cleatfield county.

a very well played game. Musser, of Mill.
heim, and Gramley, of Spring Mills, display-
ed considerable skill as pitchers.
The Fourth of July was celebrated here
about as usual. Fire crackers and the report

at all the stores and many private residen.
ces. The Eagles had a largely attended pic.
nic, and other private sociables were the or-
der of day. In the evening there was quite
a display of fire works all over town, and
fortunately no accidents from handling ex.
plusives are reporced from any quarter of the

THE GOORALS OF POLAND.
Honest, Hospitable and Brave, but
Obstinate and Quarrelsome.
The character of the goorals has
nothing in common with the humble
peasants of the low country. In thelr
zo0d qualities and faults they rather
resemble the proud noblemen of Po-
land. They are vivacious, honest, hos-
pitable and full of pride, bravery and
chivalry, on which one may always
count. But their defects are grave.
Obstinacy and quarrels lead them of-
ten to bloody fights, the lack of thrift
is frequent among them and supersti-
tions haunt them at every step. They
love nature and in thelr songs praise
their gigantic peaks, spruce forests
and the clouds and rain. They build
their houses facing Tatra, which they
constantly observe and consult about
weather conditions. A gooral cannot
live without his mountains, and if he
sometimes leaves them homesickness
will soon bring him back.
They are very religious, but their
Christian faith is mixed with old su-
perstitions, and the Roman Catholic
rites are mingled with weird, often
very picturesque, usages which have
their origin in the old Slavonic pagan-
ism. So, for instance, on St. John's
night Sobotka is celebrated by burning
bonfires on flelds and hills and by
dancing, a festivity which In pagan
times was held on the summer solstice
in honor of Sviatovit, the god of sun,
fire and love.
On Easter holidays from every house
various kinds of food are browght into
the church to be blessed by the priest,
or the priest, accompanied by a sexton,
goes to the house, where on a long.
white covered table cake, eggs and
venison await his blessing. This Is
called swiocone, The table remains
covered with food for a week to await
all friends of the house that may
come.
The Polish tongue among the moun-
taineers has pleasant, soft inflections,
and their dlalect resembles the old Po-
lish of the fifteenth or sixteenth cen-
tury. The picturesque and practical
costume of the goorals consists of a
coarse linen shirt fastened with a brass
brooch; a serdak, which is a sleeveless
sheepskin jacket of a reddish color,
richly decorated with applique orna-
ments of colored leather and silk em-
broidery and lined with fur; tight fit-
ting trousers of coarse, whitish, home-
made woolen cloth, and a cloak called
tsuba, worn usually over one shoulder.
A black feit hat shaped like a mush-
room and soft leather sandals (perpce)
complete a costume that weighs from
thirty-five to thirty-eight pounds, but Is
a good protection against cold and the
rain which in these regions Is frequent,
for twenty days in a month are at least
drizzly. —~W. T. Benda in Century,
Fort Saratoga,
With the history of Old Saratoga the
names of Schuyler and Livingston are
closely associated. Fort Saratoga was
built in 1690 by Major Peter Philip
Schuyler, and around it grew up a
small settlement which suffered many
vicissitudes during the troublous times
of the next hundred years. Lying on
the thoroughfare from Canada to New
York, this northern valley of the Hud-
son was always in dispute in the
French and Indian war, and In the
Revolution until the great battle of
Saratoga—the first victory over which
the American flag waved, and one of
the fifteen decisive battles of the
world. The actual battleground Is sev-
eral miles away from the settlement
and is marked today by many stones
recording the brave deeds of our Amer-
ican soldiers. The house still stands in
which Arnold was confined as prisoner
and from which he escaped in time to
help turn the tide of battle toward vie-
tory.—Four Track News.
KIDNAPPED BOY MURDERED
Body Found in Car Was Literally Cut
to Pieces.
Francis, I. T., July 10.—The muti-
lated body of 8-year-old Harry Fries-
ter, of West Tulsa, was found in a St.
Souis and San Francisco wheat car
Sunday night. The body had been ab-
ducted by a tramp last Thursday from
his home and is supposed to have been
murdered and his body placed in the
car to hide the crime. The body was
literally cut to pieces. There is mo
clue to the murderer.
FAMILY OF DEGENERATES
Father, Mother and Son Sentenced For
Life—Three Others in Jail.
Evansville, Ind., July 10. — Jonah
Williams, his wife Minerva and their
son, Wesley Williams, were sentenced
to prison for life for the murder of
James Leigh at Boonville last spring.
Andrew Williams, another son, is serv-
ing a jail sentence for a petty crime.
Two smaller children are in the re-
form school.
Murderer Collapsed In Court.
Easton, Pa., July 10—A most dis.
tressing scene occurred in the crimi-
nal court. Joseph Boccia, an Italian,
convicted of murdering his 14-year-old
wife, was refused a new trial, and
when Judge Scott mentioned the word
hang in sentencing him, Boccia col
lapsed and fell to the floor. He became
semi-conscious, and in that state
moaned piteously. He had to be car
ried from the court room by deputy
sheriffs. Boccia shot his wife on the
streets here because she refused to
live with hifn and expressed a prefer-
ence for the company of American
men to that of the Italian.
Step Toward Municipal Ownership.
Trenton, N. J, July 7.—Governor
Stokes signed Assemblyman Jones’
bill authorizing cities to construct, ac-
quire and operate electric light and gas
plants. The bill, while particularly
intended for Camden, is general in its
application, and is looked upon by
many as an advance step in the diree-
tion of municipal ownership in New

Jersey. ie
FINGER FELONS.
There Are Three Varieties of These
Very Painful Sores,
A felon, or whitlow, ‘s an inflamma-
tion of the hand or finger, vsually of
the last joint of the finger. Its impor-
tance varies with the seat of it—that is
to say, with the portion of the finger
involved. It may affect the skin only,
the tendons or sinews or the fibrous
covering of the bone—the periosteum.
A superficial whitlow, where the in-
flammation Is confined to the skin, may
be extremely painful, but otherwise it
Is not a very serious matter. But this
cannot be sald of the other two forms.
In the tendinous whitlow pus forms
in the fibrous sheath surrounding the
tendon, and unless the Inflammation
quickly subsides or the matter {s Jet
out by the surgeon's knife the pus
may burrow down through the sheath
into the palm of the hand and result in
a permanent crippling of the member,
The third varlety—called by phy-
siclans the subperiosteal—is that in
which matter forms beneath the mem-
brane which covers the bone. As this
membrane is tough and Inelastic the
tension due to the increasing volume
of matter becomes very great and gives
rise to a throbbing, maddening pain.
The relief afforded by a deep cut into
this inflamed finger, right down to the
bone, is magical, although the cut
hurts. This is the only treatment for
this form of felon, and the incision
should be made early, for if it is too
long delayed the bone will be killed
and a discharging sore will remain
which will later necessitate a surgical
operation even if it does not result In
the loss of the last joint of the finger.
The superficial whitlow does not

A plece of cuttle bone is needed al-

Guarda the cage from draft, from ex-
posure to cold at night and also from
too much heat.
Canary seed principally should be
given, though now and then a little
rape seed Is beneficial,
Do not use a painted cage. The bird
will peck the cage more or less, and the
paint thus imbibed is very injurious.
The larger the cage the better it is
for the birds, and if not new it should
be scalded and well dried before put-
ting them into it.
Avoid frightening the birds in any
way. It Is very easy to have them
know you and welcome your coming,
but they do not like to be handled.
The cage should be thoroughly clean-
ed every morning, placing a piece of
clean brown paper, not newspaper, on
the bottom. Perches should also be
washed daily.
The Best Weight Guessers,
Butchers are the world’s best
guessers. The butcher's difficult trade
gives him a skill in weight guessing
that is almost Incredible. It is a com-
monplace thing in a meat shop to see a
butcher seize hold of a huge red round
of beef and slash off with a great knife
four pounds just, or two and a half
pounds just, or six pounds just, ac-
cording to the order. The buyer of
meat wants to get the weight he asked
for, no more and no less, and he wants
this weight in one piece, not in one big
plece and two or three little ones. To
satisfy the buyer the butcher has been
compelled to acquire e
skill In judging just how much a cer-
tain portion of a round of meat weighs
and In cutting off that portion smooth-
ly and accurately. — Cincinnati En-
