8 THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG. PA. - Consumption Do not think for single moment that consumption will ever strike you a sudden blow. It does not come that way. It creeps its way along. First, you think it is a little cold; nothing but a little hack ing cough ; then a little loss in weight: then a harder cough; then the fever and the night sweats. The suddenness comes when you have a hemorrhage. Better stop the disease while It is yet creeping. You can do it with You first notice that you cough less. The pressure on the chest is lifted.

Tins is the begin ning of a war against the railroads controlling the output. Judge Clayton, of Delaware county, is a joker, says the Hazle ton Sentinel : At a recent court a young man was before him charged with running after a young woman and kissing her. In his charge to the jury Judge Clayton solemnly remarked : " Gentlemen, there seems to be no doubt that this young man chased this defendant and kissed her after hugging her several times, but I fail to see that it was established that she ran fast enough to get away from him or cared very badly to run fast. If it is a crime to chase a pretty girl and hug and kiss her. then, gentlemen, there is not a man among your number who should not be in jail." The young man waa acquitted.

The potato crop of this country this year is one of the largest ever raised, a matter of a good deal of importance as affecting the question of food supply. The yield is esti mated at 242,000,000 bushels, or about 40,000,000 bushels larger than in 189S and 68,000,000 larger than in 1897.

An exchange tells how in Lyons, the other day, a woman did some trading in a store, amounting to 55 cents. She gave the proprietor a bill and he gave her 45 cents change. Later, when the merchant made up his cash accounts he found it over run $4.45. Finally he went to the woman who had purchased the 55 cents' worth of goods and asked if she knew the denomination of the bill she gave. She had supposed it was one dollar, but said she could tell, as she had $11 in her purse and had made no other purchases. Upon examination, the purse was found to contain but $6, so it was concluded that she gave the mer chant a five dollar bill. The latter said he had an account against the woman's husband and would credit him with the $4.45. That arrange ment was not satisfactory, and when the merchant rt fused to return the money, a warrant for his arrest on a charge of petit larceny was issued. The merchant was convicted and fined $15. He settled. Over-Work Weakens Your Kidneys. Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.

Another test wa made, when the sig nals were conveyed through three fire proof vaults and an ordinary telegraph switchboard in which 110 wire were con nected up and about 40 dead wires were located. Notwithstanding the fact that this switchboard contained live wires the cur rent passed through all of the vaults and through this board.

The 50th Year of " Harper's Magazine." With the December number "Harper's Macazine" becins its hundredth volume, and enters upon the last six months of its fiftieth year. Halt a century ago "Harper s Maga zine," as the announcement of the four Har per Brothers reads, "was projected and com menced in the belief that it might be made the means of bringing within the reach of great mass of the American people an im mense amount ol usetul and entertaining reading matter, to which, on account of the great number nnd expense oi the books nnd periodicals in which it originally appenrs, lliey nave lutlierto had no access." The original plan of the publishers then was lo make the new peiiodical simply a literary di gest, and for the first six months its pages wtre mien entirely witn matter reprinted from English magazines and from current Looks. The success of the "Magazine" so surpassed the expectations of the publishers, that at the beginning of the second volume they felt themselves in a position to institute a new feature. During the second year, in each number appeared at least one original article. This innovation proved so accepta ble to the "Magazine's" readers that it was continued and developed, and in a few years the periodical consisted entirely of original matter. Half a century makes a vast differ ence both in magazines and the tastes they supply a difference could only be uedcr stood by a comparison of the first number of "Harper's" with the elaborate Christmas number which has just been received, and which, as has been said, opens the hun dredth volume. This Christmas number, by the way, ought lo be remembered for a long time, if for only one thing, that is Mark Twain's short story j "The Man That Cor rupted lladleybiirg." The majority of rimers win proimuiy consider tins the best tale Mark Twain has ever written ; in any case, who ever fails to read "The Man That Corrupted Iladleyburg" will have missed one oi uie tilings that make life worth living.
