Curious Find of a Miner.
One of the most curious carbon
iferous fossils ever found in the an
thracite coal fields was discovered in
the Dodge mine at Scranton, the
other day by John 13. Davis, a miner
living in that city. It was the head
and neck of a woman's figure, the
features being regular and clearly
defined. The fossil weighs sixty-five
pounds and is composed of fire clay.
It is twenty-four inches high, fourteen
inches from the tip of the nose to the
back of the hend, and tne neck is
nine inches in diameter. The con
vultions on the top of the head resem
blc curls of hair and they end in a
knot such as is worn at present in
arranging the hair. The miner found
it embedded in a solid piece of fire
clay, and it dropped entire when the
chunk was broken.
A Unique Will
Register of Wills Davenport, Mon
day admitted to probate the will of
the late Thomas Bestford, of Duryea.
The document is one of the most
unique and brief ever filed in the
office. Ic is written with a pencil on
a small sheet of paper torn from a
note book and is about 2.1x5 inches
in size. A verbatim copy of the
peculiar instrument follows:
Sept. 19, 1S95, i ntc tin's for to let
nown that i leve all my money and
all i am worth to Mary Ann Hart and
my goun and shooting things to the
same one after death of me.''
"wrote and signed by thomas best
ford. Duryea Pa."
The estate is valued at $500 G.
P. Ilalsey was appointed executor.
Aro Legal Tender-
The man who kicks about accept
ing worn silver coins will do well to
familiarize himself with a decision of
the United States Supreme court
rendered last week, declaring that
silver coins are legal tender as long
as they bear the semblance of a coin.
Of course this decision referred only
to coins worn by circulation. Muti
lated and defaced coin are not legal
tender, even if they are new.

Brysonia, Pa. Dec. 14, 1S95. We
are pleased with the puzze, which
was sent for three trade-marks from
Hood's Sarsaparilla and lour cents in
stamps. Hood's Sarsaparilla has been
used in our family for three years,
and it has done more in restoring
health in the family than doctors or
any other treatment." Simon F. Funt.

A law suit at Snow Shoe has clisclos.
ed an odd condition of affairs.
Harry Lorah was arrested charged
by Roniface Mignot, with stealing
his wife, children and furniture. It
was shown by the evidence that Lorah
had given Mignot 50 cents for the
woman and afterwards married her.
The case was compromised by Mignot
taking the children and cook stove
and Lorah kept the woman and the
balance of the household f urnitore.
Mine inspector Blcvitt has com
pleted his report for the year 1895.
The total number of accidents in the
second anthracite district was 226,
and of these 33 were fatal. These
accidents made 23 widows and 79 or
phans. The .greatest number of fatal
accidents in any month of the year
occured in December, the next high
est number in May and the least
number in September.

Pensions for Lehijrli Vallty Meu.
The I.clvgh Valley R. R. ,;,s e-,-tablished
a pension fund for supeian
uatcd and injured employes. The
money for the funtt is derived from
the passenger fares of the employes of
the company and their families. Up
to several months ago it was custom
ary to furnish free transportation to
the employes and their families, but
this privilege was abused, and the
officials decided to withdraw it and
make a low rate of a half cent a mile
instead. The receipts from this
source were so large that the directors
subsequently decided to set aside
one-half of the receipts from this
source as a pension fund. The work
ing details of the plan have not yet
been fully completed, and the man
agement of it is at present in charge
of second vice president Robert H.
Sayre and general superintendent
Rolin H. Wilbur. Ex.

HOLIDAYS IN 1896
How the Addition of a Day Affects Them.
The addition of another day to
February this year throws most of the
holidays to the end of the week. In
1S95, for instance, Independence Day
csme on Thursday; in 189611 will
come on Saturday. Washington's
birthday and Decoration Day also
come on Saturday in 1896, and Christ
mas comes on Friday. Thanksgiving
Day, being always appointed for the
last Thursday of November, and
Labor Day. coming on the first Satur
day of September, are not subject to
the mutations which affect other holi
days. Easter Sunday comes on April
5U1, nine days earlier than in 1895.
I his. of course, shortens the social
season prior to the beginning of Lent.

Cod-liver oil is something more than a fat. Its peculiar
action depends on a number of .substances, among which
might be mentioned iodine and phosphorus. There can be
110 substitute for cod-liver oil, because there is no other oil
known which has in natural combination with it such a
large number of valuable medicinal agcuts.
fl-fry f
of Cod-liver Oil, with the hypophosphitcs contains the whole
oil, with its natural properties, and in a thoroughly emulsified
or digested condition. The hypophosphitcs increase the
appetite and impart 'strength to the nervous system. This
combination has marked curative properties in a number of
diseases of the skin and scalp, to which scrofulous persons
are peculiarly liable. Such diseases as chronic eczema, ring
worm, and other skin affections, arc often quickly cured by
the constitutional effects following the use of Scott's Emulsion.
