"THE BEST IS THE CHEAPEST."
"IWrANY persons are tinder the impression that Ivory Soap is ex
pensive, and intended for the use of the wealthy only. The
fact is, the price is lower than for ordinary soaps, quality con
sidered, for in the "Ivory" no " cheapeners " or "makeweights"
arc used, so the buyer gets all "true soap" for her money. Its
harmlessness, durability and efficiency admit of its being used for
all purposes with equal satisfaction and economy in the families
of the rich or poor.
A WORD OF WARNING.
There are many white soaps, each represented to be "just as good ajthe'lvoryY'
they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities
of the genuine. Ask for "Ivory" Soap and insist upon getting It.

The ligures are exclusive altotetber
of tbo losres in lumber. Besides, tbe
commitUes, iu their report, say of thoir
figures : "They give considerable eti
iriice of the trreat losses sustained bv
our people, but they come far short bf ly to tho extent of
this region.
IN NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY.
Milton was tho worst used of
any of tho places. Although it is
now booming with its accustomed go,
its people do not hesitate to say that
they feel tho burden of their losses,
and expect to feel them moro" keenly
later. Ever sinco tho floo i the town
has beon endeavoring to foot up its
losses, and although day after day now
losses appear that at first escaped at
tention, substantially tho wholo is now
known.
Estimates of careful business men
whom I saw do not vary widely. Ono
of tho moat conservative and judged,
aftor wide and careful inquiry, one of
tho best, is given by R. F. Wilson,
chairman of tho Executivo Reliof
Committee. It is this : Merohaudiso
loss, $2500; furniture, musical instru
ment) in private houses, etc., $20,009 ;
repairs to buildings, dwellings, foncct,
etc.,. $15,000; lauded property in tho
nature of lota below Market Street
swept away, $50,000; driving bridge
across the river, $75,000; total, $185,
000. Tho loss in lot valuo is a curious
outcome. The river bout in just at
Market Street, and for a distanco of
two blocks BWupt along in oblique di
rection, carrying away tho back part
of lots upon which rows of houses
stood. A bend a little further in and
the bouses must have gone, too. To
day tho houses Btand almost on the
edce of the newly created bank.
What tho future fato of these dwell
int may be will depend on tho next
caprice of the Susquehanna. Tho
buildings wero mostly ownod by tho
hard-working and thrifty people who
occupied them. Tho stock of the toll
bridgo referred to in this estimate was
all owned at Milton.

A Queer Bit of History.
HOW TUB URITI8U FLEET WA8 THREATEN-
ed WITH A COWHIDE.
During tho war of 1812 a Montauk
cattle keeper gained a signal victory
of the English floet, then lying in Gar
diner's Bay under command of Admi
ral Hardy. Montauk was then a com
mons for tho towns of East and South
ampton. The town people pastured,
lOOU or 1200 head of oattle on Mon
tauk during the Summer. These
cattle wero in charge of threo keepers
who lived about three miles apart. I
think the name of the keeper in ques
tion was Pain. Ho conquered the
English fleet with a canoe, a rawhide
and a crow of Indians. It camo thus
about :
Tho English had como oshoro on
their boats and killed one of the cattle
in his charge They wanted fresh
beof and they got it. Mr. Pain did
not proposo that his herds Bbould be
ravaged with impunity, lie armed
himself with a raw-hide. Next he
found an Indian, no impressed tbo
Indian with his rawhido and forced
him to paddle off to the Admiral's
ship. Mr. Pain was hailed from the
ship and asked what ho wanted. Ho
said ho wantod to como on board. Ho

A Startling Discovery.
According to reports from Paris pub
lished in tho Courier ues M,tata-Um3
Dr. Brown-Sequard has formally an
nounced to a French scientific body tho
discovery by himself of what appears
to be an elixir of life as potent as that
which liulwer dallied with in".anoni
and iMargravo used in "A Strange
btory."
Tbo discovory is of a medicament
which, when administered by hypoder
mic injection, restores tho aged and
dcorepid to youthful vigor and sets
lingering convalescents upon their togs
again', as so man nostrums are alleged'
to do bnt do not.
We fail to grasp with clearness
whether' Dr. Brown-boa tlard hopes to
prolong human life indefinitely or not,
and probably his experiments have not
yot enabled him to express a confident
opinion' on that subject. But if his
elixir can make the old young again
there seems to be no satisfactory rea
son barring accident why anybody
who keeps his bands ol tho electric
light wires should cease to live.
At first sight tbo nows of such a dis
covery seems altogether good. It will
remove the cemetery factor from 'water
supply problems, settle tho cremation
question and exterminate the raco of
undertakers. But there aro other as
pects of tho matter which aro appal
ling, ibo pressuro ot population up
on the means of subsistence' is1 very
great, though not so groat as Air. Mai-
thuB anticipated, and if tho safety-valve
ot tbe death-rate is to be Bhut down
this little world of ours is going to be
verv uncomfortably crowded.
A more dreadful thought is that all
tho objectionable persons wc know are
sure to bo tho. first users of tho new
elixir. Objectionable persons, aa tho
reader must have observed, aro tbe very
ItJj birth, ho should enjoy tho advantages
that moro tortunate boys enjoyed.
Sho could not induce the "stony-hearted"
State officials to put down their
namos, however, and sho leit the capi

The story is going the rounds of a
retail dealer who obtained a rare bar
gain in ladies' hemstitched linon hand
kerchiets, which he designed to sell at
a lair proht at 25 cents each. On ex
amination of the goods ho determined
not to givo such value for so small a
num. Taking one-half this lot, ' ho
marked each handkerchief in the' cor
ner with a lead pencil, 25' cents, and
tho other quality, ho marked in tho
same way, 30 conb, and displayed tho
goods on his counter Bido by side.
Imagine bis Burpriso when he found
that two out of three of bis lady cus

cents, loaving him with the larger part
of those marked 25 cents on his count

marks from 25 to 30 without soiling
tho goods, bo was actually compelled
to purchase another! invoice or the
eamo lot to oblige tho fair buyers, who
preterred to pay 30 .cents for tho ar
ticle rather 'than 25 cents.
A remarkable discovery has just been
mado at tho Cathays Yard of tho Taff
Vale Railroad Company. A largo elm
treo, grown in Gloucestershire, was
being cut up into timber, when right in

and i A inches wido was discovered. It
contained a comb of tho honey bee and
a squirrel s ekull. "iN o means of access
to tho hollow wa9 discoverable, neither
was decay anywhere apparent, and a.
round tho cavity itself no leas than' 50
rings, each ring denoting a years
growth, were counted. The hollow
was of uniform sizo throughout, and

the cavity as its own, and there died.
