Though long past the period when men cease to be active in affairs. Mr. Schell's life is a contradiction on that score. He still gives counsel to his clients, writes for the news papers, takes an active part in mu nicipal affairs, and does his work so well that men hunt him up and ep him busy, so that he hasn't time to think of the fact that he is 1 mighty old man.

Just about this time every year we are told that there is to be a re vival of bicycling. - No one gets excited about it. The bicycle man ufacturers killed the goose that was laying the golden eggs when they got the big head and quit advertis ing. Nearly every newspaper man and magazine man in the United State9 had been induced to pur chase a wheel, and was being paid for some mighty effective advertis ing. Wheels were being sold faster than they could be built. Then, the manufacturers "combined." They discovered tint about twenty million dollars a year were being spent for advertising, and they de cided to save that money and pay it in dividends. They stopped ad vertising. The newspapers and magazines stopped talkiug about the pleasures of bicycling, and the public stopped buying wheels, and tnen the business went to smash. We don't believe that it can ever be revived to anything like its old proportions. If it is it will be by a liberal use of printer's iuk. Ex. War on Disease Germs. Stato Hoalth Commissioner Urges Disinfee tion at the Sure Preventive. War on germs as the source of disease is the keynote of circulars that State Health Commissioner Dixon has sent to more than 700 township health officers all over the State. Disinfection is commended as the only sure means of destroy ing the root of the trouble in all cases of communicable malady. In the boroughs and cities and in the townships of the first class the local Boards of Health have their own regulations in reference to disinfee tiotl and, encouraged to more vigor ous effort by the State Department of Health, their health officers as a rule are also carrying on a lively campaign against disease-breeding germs. The Department of Health issues circulars setting forth the necessity of disinfection during the existence of disease, as, for instance, in typhoid fever. Only by unceasing educational work, however, can the people be taught to heed instruc tions, and so the Health Commis sioner declares ue will keep peg ging away." These circulars set ting forth the proper precautions to De taken in every case of communi cable disease are left at the house by the health officer wheu he goes to placard the premises immediately upon receiving the report of the case from the physician. Upward of 50 rules to be observed as precautionary measures are then given. Want Change in Game Laws. Northumberland county sports men are being asked for their sig natures to a petition which is to be submitted to the next legislature regulating aud codifying the State game laws. The petition has al ready over 9,700 names, it having been circulated in several counties. In Northumberland there will be i.ooo more names added. The fol lowing legislation is recommended by the petition: To make the open season for killing rabbits, squirrels, pheasants, quail and woodcock from November 1st to December 1st; to prohibit the digging out of rabbits from holes iu the ground, stne fences and stone walls; to prohibit the hunting and killing by all persons until they shall have paid an annual tax of one dollar for a license for that purpose to be issued by the county treasurer, this money to be used for restock ing game preserves, no man to be prevented trom hunting cn his own premises without such license dur ing the open season. The petition will be extensively circulated through the county. The Legisla ture will, in all probability, pass these amendments because the sen timent will be overwhelming among sportsmen from all parts of the State toward the above changes in the game laws. bean taa 3iguatw of 7 Hid tail Veil Ham Alv.jys jaffS. THE POULTRY YARD. - If you have a sheltered place, not only to set the hens but also to rear the young, March hatcneswill be profitable. Barrels laid on their sides under a shed or some out building, make ideal nests at this time of the year. Do not make the common error of setting hens in the regular lay ing houses, and never be guilty of shutting up a hen on the nest. The barrel method is far better, and if a small lath run Is built in front of the nest, the hen can get off and on her eggs os she deems best. Some hens sit too closely to the nest, and others not close enough. But it is not In the province of man to know just how long biddy should remain on or off her eggs. Her judgment is best in such matters. It is not advisable at this time of the year to place more than eleven eggs under a hen, as those on the outer edge are apt to become chilled. Do not disturb her while she is hatching : and leave the young in the nest for at least twenty four hours. The youngsters need the warmth more than they do food. ' For the first two weeks it is best to keep the hen and her young in a large house or coop, so that they can exercise and at the same time be protected from the weather. After that time they can be allowed outdoors during the middle of nice days. The egg crop is Increasing in bulk and decreasing in price. All pens should be mated by now, if intended for breeding purposes. Be sure that the new male bird you are using for breeding is no relative of the hens. You can not expect strong, rugged stock where there is a close relationship between sire and dams. If it is intended to purchase eggs for hatching this season, the order had better be placed now, so that there will be no disappointment in not getting the eggs when wanted. For strong fertility, try alterna ting male birds in the pens. Have either two males for each pen, or three males for two pens, using only one male at a time in a pen, and changing about twice a week. Fggs from two-year-old hens are apt to hatch best at this time, and the chicks will be more thrifty than those irom pullet eggs. As a rule the eggs from hens that did heavy laying during the winter will not be so fertile as eggs from hens that made but a fair showing. Farm Journal. May Result in Murder. Centralla Man Stabbed Eloven Times. With eleyen stab wounds in his body, Lewis Castro, ot Ceutraha, was taken to the Fountain Springs hospital, on Wednesday evening of last week, where he is lying in a precarious condition, while the man who committed the deed, Michael Lovovert was brought to the Columbia county jail at Elooms burg by Constables Coudy Langdon and Owen Cain. Castro is the proprietor of a boarding house in Centralia, and Lovovert, who is an uncle of Cas tro, boards with him. Wednesday evening at the supper table, a dis pute arose between the two men in regard to a mine certificate. The quarrel resulted in a fight in which Lovovert stabbed his nephew eleven times with a long bladed knife. Castro was given medical treat ment in Centralia, and then taken to the hospita! at Fountain Springs. He is now in a very serious condi tion and little hopes are entertained for his recovery. Notes on Spring Styles. "Fashion is marching on in her usual way this spring, aud to those who know and see ahead she is leading up to an entirely new type of woman," says Grace Margaret Gould, the fashion editor, iu the March, the Spring Fashion Num ber of the Wtmaifs Home Com panion . The change is to be a gradual one, however, but before long the fashionable woman will have ban ished for good and all the extrava gantly large hat, the huge pompa dour, the frills aud the furbelows of her bodice, and the full skirt. The new tendency is all toward the straight up-and-down type of figure sloping, slender hips, pulled- back, tight skirts trailing on the ground, plain, fitted waists, and sleeves of the old-fashioned tight- fitting sort which cling to the arm from shoulder to wrist. "This is what we are coming to, so the authorities who make the fashions tell us, but as yet we have taken only a step or two on the way. This spring many small hats will be worn ; the new corset effect gives unusual sleuderness ot line ; cut-in-one dresses will be fashion able ; mousquetaire sleeves which show the outline of the arm will be favored, and skirts will have lost their full effect." "The Flamlag Arrow." There are doubtless any number of theatre-goers who will remember the time about twenty years ago, that Buffalo Bill came here with a company composed of Texas Jack, Buckskin Joe, aud a host of celeb rities dear to American boys' hearts. It was probably the first time that the real Simon pure, Red Man had ever been seen on a local stage. That episode in our history is inev itably recalled by the Indians who will be seen at the Grand Opera House Friday evening, February a8th in the stirring melodrama, "The Flaming Arrow." There are more Indians in this production than took part in Buffalo Bill, the "King of the Border," when a good many of us were boys. To add in terest and enthusiasm to the pro duction, a band o( sixteen full blooded Indians is carried with the company, forming an Indian brass band. The name of the play is signifi cant of blood nnd thunder in a superlative degree, and the fact that it is produced by a company composed largely of real live Indians, naturally strengthens the impressions. But by the time the curtain descends 011 the last act. the audience begins to realize that there isn't much in a name after all, and that Indians under certain cir cumstances can present another phase of character other than that usually Jepicted in a dime novel. The show is clean and wholesome, well staged and has some of the best scenic effects Mr. Carter has as yet turned out. The play is splendidly staged and has many thrilling situations, such as four frisky, bucking bronchos, ex. Uni ted States soldiers, &c. The story deals with a treacher ous Mexican's attempt to force Col. Freemont's daughter, Mary to marry him. She is rescued by her Indian lover and brought back to the stockade in the last act when all hope of her recovery has been abandoned. Dr. Miles' Antl-I'aln Pills relieve pain. The Increasing Cost of Living. A man who is living in the house occupied by his father thirty-five years ago, who has the same size family, and who is living about, he things, as his father lived then, dis covered an old account-book kept by his father, covering household expenses. Comparing mouth by month, the son has found that, summing corresponding items, his expeuses today are twice those re corded by his father. Well, what is to be done ? In vestigation results in a merry-go-round like that depicted so often by newspaper cartoonists: every one pointing with his thumb to his neighbor and saying, "ffin." The consumer blames the butcher for charging so much for steak, the butcher blames the wholesaler for advancing the price of beef, the wholesaler bla mes the commission house or packers, the commission house alleges shortage of shipments, the shipper alleges shortage of cars, the railroad alleges cowboys are scaring trains with full-dress suits, the cowboys claim that they are forced to wear them; and back it goes r cattlemen assert that the rail roads will not accept cattle unless accompanied by cowboys in full dress suits, railroads assert govern ment compels this, government as serts commission-men demanded it, commission-men assert that the measure was put through by the wholesalers, wholesalers assert that the butchers themselves did the lobbying, and the butchers prompt ly unload the responsibility upon the people. Thread advances presumably because the lumber for spools is ad vanced; lumber for spools has ad vanced because oats are high (the logging teams require grain three times a day, aud that mounts up), oats are high because of a wet spring, and as the wet spring was sent presumably by Providence, certainly My L'idy must not protest when her gown costs more by fifty per cent. It is put forward by some social economists that dear money, as the term expresses it, is a sign of pros perity. But is it ? Is it, when the prosperity of the many is being milked to swell by greater ratio the prosperity of the few ? Is the av erage man today getting bis mon ey's worth? Occasionally (we would not breathe the confession outside of our o-vu booming country) oc casionally into the minds of some of us creeps the suspicion that the average man who occupies the bottom ot the heap is not.
