BRIEF MENTION.
About People Tou Know.
Postmaster Mercer is slowly im
proving in health.
Mortimer Butler is clerking in the
post office at present.
Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Hughes of
Scranton are the guests of Mrs. M. E.
EM.
Mr. and Mrs. A. Z. Schoch are
spending a few weeks at Thousand
Islands.
Summer yet, you bet.
The days grow shorter.
Sweet language will multiply friends,
Water melons are cheapening.
New potatoes are nearly as cheap
as were the old ones.
Frugality is the sure guardian of
our virtues.
Foot ball teams will begin to train
soon.
The apple crop is so large as to be
already a drag in the market.
Cut cucumbers from the vines, do
not pull them.
It takes the caterpillar to get the
iirop on the summer girls.
The most intense heat prevailed all
over the country last week, and many
deaths resulted in the cities.
There was a large attendance at
the Evangelical picnic at Rupert on
Saturday.
A tree on Sixth street near
Catharine was 6truck by lightning last
Sunday night.
The Lutheran and Reformed Sun
dav Schools had a picnic at Rupert
on Wednesday. They went down on
a large fla from Tort Noble.
George Windisch, the Pittston wife
murderer, who was to be hanged in
September next, died in prison last
Sunday. He had been twice respited.
John M. Garman Esq., of Wilkes
Barre is talked 01 as the successor to
R. E. Wright as chairman of the state
Democratic committee.
You need Hood's Sarsaparilla to
enrich and purify your blood, creati.
an appetite and give sweet, refreshing
sleep.
The following letters are advertised
August 11, 1896: Miss Mattie Girton,
Grant & Co., Mr. Elwood Griffith,
Jlruszka Mitro. , Will be sent to the
dead letter office August 25, 1896.
The Republican Convention of
Northumberland County last Wednes
day nominated Monroe H. Kulp for
Congress, and William H. Hacken
berg, of Milton for State Senator. .
The faith cure is tasteless and harm
less and might be tried with profit on
the silverites in this vicinity. It can
do no harm, and as one must forgive
his enemies, it is worth a trial.
Those who imagine that farmers are
not learned people are fooled. A short
conversation with a farmer will reveal
the fact that he knows the name, waist
measure, and intestinal capacity of
every bug, worm or moth that destroys
his trees and crops. If you want to
learn something about bugs, talk with
a farmer.

In Buying Your New Fall Hat
don't neglect looking over Gidding &
Co's. line they have made up their
mind to have this their banner hat
yar and besides having every new
and popular shape and color on the
market have clipped off considerable
in price. Their " Amphion " derby
is one instance of what they are doing
in this department. This is a genuine
$2.50 hat but by special arrangement
with the makers are retailing it at
$1.90 and they will refund money if
it can be matched elsewhere for less
than $2.50
The bam on N. U. Funk's farm
was struck by lightning last Sunday
night. The lightning went down the
lightning rod on the carriage shed,
twisted the rod off, struck the founda
tion timber and split it, and tore some
boards off the side of the barn. Some
chaff in the shed was burned. If the
barn had burned all the season's har
vest would have been consumed.
night-howling dog, a foul smell

A pinch of soda on a hot stovo drlvei

Hot water and hay la the right mix

Little sticks put upon a dying frt

Put a handful of salt In the last

Steel knives won't rust if you dip
them in strong soda water, then wipe

Milk keeps from souring longer In a

Rub together one tablespoonful of

Housekeepers who like to have their

serve lettuce salad In scooped-out cu
cumber shells and celery within red to

Clothing that has become spotted and
whose color has been destroyed by
acids may have the color restored by
applying ammonia and afterward
chloroform. -
A raw egg swallowed Immediately

A few drops of the tincture of ben
zoin put into the water In which the
face Is bathed will prevent that shiny
appearance oT the skin with which so
many people are affected, especially In
warm weather.
Some people suffer very much from
their eyes when peeling onions. It Is
said that If a knitting needle Is held
between the teeth during the operation
this discomfort will cease or be very
much reduced.
Tumblers that have been used for
milk should never be put into hot wat
er until they have first been rinsed in
cold water. The heat drives the milk
in and gives a cloudy appearance to the
glass which cannot be removed.
When clothing become wrinkled
from packing or from any cause the
wrinkles may be removed by banging
the garments over night In a heated
room. Spread the clothes over a
clothes horse as smoothly as possible,
Cans of potted meats or fish may be
kept some time after they are opened
and partly used If they are covered
with a little melted butter or lard and
kept In a cool place. This makes the
contents air-tight and Is easily re
moved when needed.
German country women boil in milk
the yarn for their home-knit stockings,
bo they will not "crock." If black un
derwear, equestrian tights, or stock
ings that stain are treated In a like
manner the result will be found very
satisfactory.
It Is said that water bugs dislike the
cucumber, and it the peelings from
cucumbers are kept In water and at
night scattered around the pipes and
the places where the bugs are seen
after two or three nights the bugs will
disappear. The plan is worth testing.
Flies dislike the oil from bay leaves,
It Is not an expensive drug, and If a
very little Is kept In a dish on the win
dow ledge, or if the doors and window
casings are coated with any color o(
paint to which 4 per cent, of oil of bay
has been added, insects will shun them.
Gardening Supper.
Bicycling has killed gardening for
women. At least that Is the statement
made in New York, alluding to resi
dents in the suburbs, where the prac
tice was once a favorite occupation
with the ladies of the household. Wo
men who used to put on a coarse
apron, a pair of thick gloves and a
broad-brimmed straw hat, and then
plunge wildly Into gardening, have
changed their amusement. No longer
do they pick over a handful of dirty
looking seeds and expatiate upon the
beauty of the flowers that will result.
No longer do they come proudly home
from the hardware store with a shin
ing rake sticking out of its crackly
brown paper and calling everybody to
work. No longer does the lady look
askance at the sky, wondering wheth
er there will be enough rain to start
her seeds into action and praying for
a smart shower. No, indeed. She
may look askance at the sky, but it is
with the hope that there will not be
any rain to spoil the bicycle path. The
woman of the day looks for happiness
on the wheel, and she has no thought
or care for potato bugs, or any of the
other enemies of gardening that trou
bled her so in years gone by. She does
not care it all the plants wither on
their stems, so long as the wheeling is
perfect.. She may love the flowers as
much aa ever, but she has no time to
think about) their cultivation. She
leaves that to the professional florist,
and gets her flowers from the store in
stead of from her own plat of ground.
Seedsmen say that their trade this
summer is not half as largo aa it was
this time last year. They argue that
there can be only one craze with Its
full power fastened on the community
at one time. Last year gardening had
its day. This year bicycling is carry
ing everything along on the stream of
ltd popularity.
What Turpentine Will Do.
Turpentine is the best friend house
keepers have, and a supply should al
ways be kept on hand. It is good for
burns, excellent for corns, good for
rheumatism and sore throat and a
quick remedy for fits or convulsions.
It Is a sure preventive against moths,
a few drops rendering garments sate
from such Invasion during the sum
mer. It drives away ants and bugs
from store rooms and corners by pit
ting a tew drops on the shelves. It
effectually destroys bugs and Injures
neither furniture nor clothing. For
cleaning paint add a spoonful to a pall
of warm water. A little in the suds on
washing day makes washing easier,
We take this mouth for cleaning up all the remaining
summer goods. The prices have been reduced to the lowest
possible point. On many, below cost. There is an opportunity
for you to do wise buying.

Necessity of a Thin Dress. Either White or Colored, .

children's muslin underwear

Also the gauze underwear for

Would you buy a nice black

good for the price ? Well, we
have just the article for you.
See our line of them this month.
The annex to our store is now open but not completed as we

Stopped Has
"It Was Such a Good Watch.
I have never had it repaired, and have had it five years."
This is a remark we hear nearly every day. Is it any
wonder watches go to pieces ? A watch is a very delicate piece
of mechanism, and to give satisfaction and wear a life time,
should be cleaned every eighteen months or two years.
Has yours been attended to ? If not, bring it in.
Our work is guaranteed and prices right.
