Rebecca Carmen of llcnton, has re
received a nice assortment of
Millinery goods from New York and
Philadelphia. The latest styles, and
, prices as low as can be found, if not
lower, to which she invites the atten

patronage, she hopes for a continuance
of the same.
Mrs. Jonn A. Michael of Lime
Ridge is selling an excellent hair tonic
and restorer. She does not pretend
that it will produce hair where the
roots are destroyed, but it will stregth
en the scalp ami hair roots to such a
degree that the loss of hair is soon
arrested. The Renewer does not con
tain any coloring matter nor any in
gredient injurious to health. Mrs
Michael's husband is seriously ill, and
she deserves liberal patronage.
Henry Shipton of this town has the j
agency for a book entitled "The Path
Way of Life" by Rev. T. Hewitt Tal
mage. It is a book for the home, a i
tuesseu guest ai me iiiraiuu, ncaiim-u
to lead the young and the old into
paths of happiness. It contains a
series of matchless essays, and includes
sketches, incidents and thrilling epi
sodes in the lives of mighty men,
celebrated women, and heroes, with
discriptions of many famous battles,
all finely illustrated, with nearly 300
engravings. The price of the book is
$3.50 in cloth, $4.00 in half morocco,
I5.00 in full morocco.
The Kingston Timet says that Al
bert Lewis' recent trip to Europe was
in the interest of the Lehigh Valley Co.,
and it is stated on good authority that
he purchased for the Valley Co., the
tract of land around Harvey's Lake
that has been owned by the English
syndicate. The tract contains thirty
thousand acres and the railroad com
pany already owned as much. This
gives the company 60,000 acres of the
best timberland in the country, and
which it will require years to clean.
There are already 350 men at work
for Albert Lewis, clearing the forests,
and several sawmills are in operation.
Another year will probably find a
thousand men at work in the country
around the lake. The men are paid
from $iJ5to$i75a day, and work is
steidy-three hundred and twelve days
in a year for thoie who wish it.
No more completely illustrated copy
)f the Cosmopolitan lias ever gone out
than that for April. Miss Elizabeth
Bisland, always a bright and attractive
writer, is fairly lascinating in her des
cription of dancing, the eldest of the
arts, and the illustrations charmingly
interpret the article itself. The exec
utive mansion, the "White House," al
ways an object of interest to the peo
ple of the United States, and one of
the first noints to be visited by those
who go to Washington, is described by j
Mr. George Grantham Bain, the '
Washington correspondent, while the
interior is illustrated with many views
taken specially for The Cosmopolitan '
by permission ol the t'resment.
Perhaps the feature which will ap
peal most strongly to literary people,
is Urander Matthews' article on the
Women Writers of America. Mr.
Matthews' criticism should be read by
every American woman who writes for
the press, for magazines, or for the
book publisher. Mrs. Cruger, Amelie
Rives, and all the best known modern
writers, come in for a touch of criti
cism. Tne Nicaragua Canal is described
and illustrated by Harvey, and the
Japanyso theatre by Miss Scidmore.
Samples are given of the best work of
Meissonier, and Frederic Villiers tells
the curious story of a war correspond
ent's life.
The frontispiece is a portrait of Gen
eral Sherman, drawn by GribayrdofT,
and Sherman and Bismarck come in
for the major part of Murat Halstead's
Review of Current Events. (Price 25

POULTRY NOTES.
No. 8.
The early bird catches the worm ; it
is also the early worm that gets caught.
The same may be said of early
chicken raising ; it is best if you have
a.suitable place, to ha.ch a few early
chicks, but if you have not they will
surely get caught.
Dont make the mistake of putting
too many eggs under the hen, in cold
weather, as the outside ones are apt
to get chilled, and as the hen changes
the position of the eg's they will all in
turn get to the outside, and a poor
hatch will be the result.
Pick out your best male and a few of
your best females, place them by
themselves, and breed lrom them
alone, thereby bringing your flock to a
higher standard.
Don't set your hens in the same box
every year, for no doubt it is full of
vermin; burn it, and make an entirely
new one, and you will save yourself
and chickens from being pestered with
lice.
The time to do this is now, before
you forget it; if left till the hen wants
to set you w 11 not have time.
Saturate your roosting poles
thoroughly with coal oil before spring
opens, as that will destroy ootn nee
and nits that may be waiting for warm
weather to do their work.

In the Lake regions of Wisconsin,
Northern Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa
and the two Dakotas, there are hun
dreds of charming localities prc-cini-ncntly
fitted for summer homes. A

as the perfection of Northern summer

A Great Spring Tour to Florida via Penn
sylvania Railroad.
By reason of the enormous popu
larity accorded the Pennsylvania Rail
road's personally-conducted tours to
Honda during the winter and spring
of 1891 the company has decided to
run the sixth and last on March 31st.
It will differ in many points from
the others. Going south the tourists
will travel in a special train of Pull
man Sleeping and Dining Cais similar
in every respect to the trains used on
previous excursions. The excursion
tickets, which will be sold at a rate of
$50 from New York and $48 from
Philadelphia, will include Pullman ac-
comnodations and meals en route on
the south-bound trip, and railroad
transportation only on the north-bound
trip. They will be valid for return
trip on regular trains up to May 30th,
1891. Fifteen days from the date
they leave Jacksonville will be allowed
tourists to reach Philadelphia or New
York, and during those fifteen days
they can stop off at points designated
on the tickets.
A Tourist Agent and chaperon will
accompany the party south.
The unusual limit of the tickets
and privileges accorded will afford an
excellent opportunity of a lengthy vis
it in the bonth.
The Spring Jledicine.
The popularity which Hood's Sarsa
parilla has gained as a spring medicine
is wonderful. It possesses just those
elements of healthgiving, blood-pun
fying and appetite-restoring which
everybody seems to need at this sea
son. Do not continue in a dull, tired,
unsatisfactory condition when you
may be so much benefited by Hood's
Sarsaparilla. It purifies the bloud and
makes the weak strong.
General Sherman as a Cadet-
A man who was well acquainted
with General Sherman the other day
said: "The things that General Sher
man seemed to have excelled in later
in life were those in which he was the
most deficient in while at West Point.
During the time he was a cadet he
never was selected as a cadet officer
or even a non-commissioned officer, as
he was never deemed soldierly enough.
"As to the General's standing in his
class when he graduated, he was
seventh in engineering, seventh in
ethics, fourth in minerology and geo
logy, twelfth in infantry tactics, eighth
in artillery tactics, and in deportment
he ranked 316 out of a class ot 333
Now the idea that a good scholar will
not make a good commanding officer
is disproved in this case. Had it not
been for the General's low average in
conduct, he would have in all proba
bility been a star scholar: that is, he
would have had a star affixed to his
name, as the first five men are given
this honor. The General's low grade
was not due to bad conduct, but to
his unsoldierly appearance.
Heed The Warning
It is not infrequently the case that
itching pimples and irritating "cat
boils" are the forerunners of larger
boils, or the more serious carbuncles.
Invariably Nature puts out her danger
signals, and they should be heeded at
once. The pimples and little boils
show that the blood is not in a good
condition and nature is trying to re
lieve the system. A few doses of
Swift's Specific at this juncture willac
complish wonders. The eruption will
be healed and the system cleansed of
its impurities. The modern para
phrase cf the old saying, "A stitch in
time, etc., is thut "Timely .stitches will
save nine pairs of breeches." The mod
ern form has a touch of humor that
does not modify the truth of it. In
that vein, we may say that a course of
Swift's Specific prevents ills terrific, j
Novel Tours to the PaciGo Coast via Penn
sylvania Railroad
The early spring always attracts the
tourist, and of late years many travel
ers who have neglected their own
country for European wanderings have
been brought to some sense of realiza
tion of the wonders of their own
country, and have profited by visiting
and informing themselves of it. An
ocean voyage has its many disadvant
ages, which do not attach to the Penn
sylvania Railroad's personally conduct
ed tours to the Golden Gate. The
magnificent Vestibule Pullnvin Palace
Trains are luxuriously equipped and
manned by the most efficient crews.
The tourists are under the charge of a
Tourist Agent and Chaperon, and
have at their call for ready service a
ladies' maid, a stenographer, and type
writer. The two remaining tours will
leave New York Thursday, March 26th
and Tuesday, April 14th, and the
round-trip rates will be $275 and $300
respectively. The latter tour will run
via Portland and Tacoma returning.
The rate includes Pullman accommo
dations, meals en route going and re
turning, six side trips, and several car
riage rides. For itineraries and space
application should be made without
delay to Geo. W. Boyd, Assistant
General Passenger Agent, Philadelphia,
or to Tourist Agent, Pennsylvania

A $10,000,000 Claim-
Fremont's heirs bring suit against
the united states.
The Rev. W. R. Covert, ofFindlay,
Ohio, has retained counsel to press the
claim of himself and the heirs of Gen
eral John C. Fremont to the owner
ship of Bird Island in the Bay of San
Francisco. The amount involved is
estimated at over $10,000,000. Gen
eral Fremont, when Military Gover
nor of California, purchased the island
from Mexico. Uncle Sam repudiated
the purchase and declined to either
buy from the Pathfinder or reimburse
him. However, the government some
years later took possession of the is
land, which is the key to San Francisco
harbor, and erected fortifications and
a light house upon it at a cost of over
$9,000,000.
General Fremont sought relief from
Congress in vain. Some time before
he died being low in funds, he secured
financial aid from the Rev. Mr. Covert
giving therefor an option on a half
interest in the island. He intended
to press his claim, but death intervened.
Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont and her
son will now join in the proceedings
oeiore the Court of Claims.
