Probably Republi- cans, too. Wm. E. Shultz, one of Jacob Win- kleblech’s hard working men had the misfortune to cut a gash in his knee while peeling bark last week.

May their journey |d When the Swedish government was building the great Gota canal between | the Baltic and the North Seas, one of {the engineers who had a partial ‘charge of the work was named Olaf ! Ericsson. He lived with his family (in the little town of Forsvik, near the i work, and his son John used to come every day to watch the men at work. But there was something strange about the way this boy watched. He was always down in the workings with the men, asking them questions and paying close attention to all they did; he would sit for hours before the action of each part until he had mastered it completely. At length he came to be well known to the work- men, and the chief of construction, Count Platen, heard rumors of this boy who was so interested in the work; for spies were not wanted about, and the boy’s questions had aroused suspicion. So one day Count Platen himself visited Forsvik. Strolling along the bank, he came suddenly upon the boy, a fair-haired lad of thirteen, who was seatéd before an immense pump, making a sketch. Standing behind him, the Count noted that his drawing materials were very crude and evidently home-made, but that his work represented an engine that the Count himself had never seen. Touching the boy on the shoul- der and pointing to the drawing, he | asked: . “What is this?” i “A sketch of a new pumping en- | gine, sir,” answered John, looking up. | “I made one for a mine of my fath- | er’s, once, and I think it would drain {the canal better than the ones they have.” “Yes, it looks like a new principal,” | said the Count, examining the sketch. “What is your name?” “John Ericsson, sir.” “A son of Olaf Ericsson? Well, my boy, this sketch of yours is marvelous for a lad of your age. Let me take it with me, and to-morrow ‘come to headquarters and ask for Count Platen.” ‘So, carrying away the sketch, he departed, leaving the surprised boy sitting on the bank. Next morning John called at headquarters, and for an hour the Count put all manner of questions to him on machinery and tion, he said: some day, and Sweden needs you. You are too young for a commission, mechanical corps of the navy, give you charge of six hundred men and a section of the canal. You know more about the work than half of the engineers we have already!” And so it came about that the boy of thirteen, all unexpectedly found his chance; and he made good. But he did not remain all his life in the service of Sweden, for in 1862, when the inventor of the Monitor had saved a nation and had revolutionized naval warfare, the name of John Eriesson was celebrated the world over as an adopted citizen of the United States. Indolence. Indolence is the sleep of the mind. What is often called indolence is, in fact the unconscious consciousness of incapacity. What men want is not talent; it is purpose; in other words, not the pow- er to achieve, but the will to labor. The darkest hour of any young man is when he sits down to study how to get money without honestly earning it. Laziness grows on people; it be- gins in cobwebs, and ends in iron chains. Indolence is the dry rot of even a good mind and a good character the practical uselessness of both. It is the waste of what might be a happy and useful life. So long as we must fight our way, the man genius pushes forward, con- quering and to conquer. But how often is he at last overcome by a Ca- pua! Ease and fame bring sloth and slumber. Of all our faults, that which we most readily admit is indolence. We persuade ourselves that it cherishes all the peaceful virtues and without destroying it merely suspends their functions. Look upon indolence as a sort of su- icide; for the man is effectually de- stroyed, though the appetite of the rute may survive. No Referonces.

Good News MANY BELLEFONTE READERS HAVE HEARD IT AND PROFITED THEREBY. “Good news travels fast,” and the many bad back sufferers in Belle- fonte are glad to learn where relief may be found. Many a lame, weak and aching back is bad no more, thanks to Doan’s Kidney Pills. Our citizens are telling the good news of their experience with this tested remedy. Here is an example worth reading: Mrs. John Mignot, E. High St. Bellefonte, says: “I suffered from a dull ache across the small of my back for several weeks. At times, when I bent over or lifted anything, a sharp pain shot through my back. I had heard of Doan’s Kidney Pills and I knew that they were good, so I began taking them, procuring my supply at Parrish’s Drug Store. They cured me.” Price 50c. at all dealers. Don’t simply ask fora kidney remedy— get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that cured Mrs. Mignot. Foster— Milam Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. engines.

Practically all the races and relig- ions of the world are represented. Ninety-eight and six tenths per cent. of the people cannot read or write. Four per cent. of the inhabitants eat regular meals. The remainder eat when they can and where they can. The average native in India lives on less food per diem than any other human being in the world. Religious prejudices are intense. Men willingly die rather than submit to some dis- membering surgical operation, for did not Allah command them to appear before him as they left him to come into the world? The Buddhist will not eat meat or take even a medicine derived from an animal. They died by millions during the bubonic plague rather than take a prophylactic serum made from pep- sin and beef broth—because the pig from which pepsin was obtained was unclean to the Mohammedan and Hindu, and the killing of this animal and the bull from which the broth was made was against the tenets of the Buddhistic faith. I knew an editor in Poona, India, to absolutely refuse a $3,000 yearly advertisement of a patent medicine because it contained pepsin. Indians are fond of sweets and last year imported over $40,000,000 worth of sugar. Clothing is made chiefly from cotton, which is largely grown in the country.—W. E. Aughinbaugh in Leslie’s.

Bodines, Pa.—*“I will drop you a few lines to let you know that your ‘Favor- ite Prescription’ has done me a wonder- ful lot of good. oi “Seven years ago ¥3% when our first child was born I was left miserable. I doc- tored with two phy- sicians without any relief. I then went to see one Hf the head doctors in Williamsport; he said I must have an operation at once and that I should quit work, but that was something I could not do. I then began taking your ‘Favorite Prescrip- tion,’ and it helped me so much. I always suffered so until our last child was born when I got along nicely. I shall never go through it again without your medicine.”—MRgs., F. W. MYERS, . The mighty restorative power of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription speedily causes all womanly troubles to disap- pear—compels the organs to properly perform their natural functions, cor- rects displacements, overcomes irregu- larities, removes pain and misery at certain times and brings back health and strength to nervous, irritable and exhausted women. It is a wonderful prescription, pre- pared only from nature's roots and herbs, with no alcohol to falsely stim- ulate and no narcotics to wreck the nerves. It banishes pain, headache, backache, low spirits, hot flashes, dragging-down sensation, worry and sleeplessness surely. Write Doctor Pierce, Invalids’ Hotel, Buffalo, N.
