A western editor says: "There are three things which no man can do to the satisfaction of other men make love, poke the fire and run a paper. No matter if a man has 110 mere sense than an oyster and does not know how many toes he has, he always knows how to run the paper better than the editor. And, what is more, he tells it all in the street car. But, despite all this valuable advice that is wasted, the editors still go on making blunders and money. The old fashioned ed itor who had to be all things to all wen is passing away. The time has come when a man who runs a paper is his own master." Body Identified. The body of a man which was .rrond last Sunday at Kipp's Run, in the river, has been identified as that of Abram Jones, of Plymouth, who disappeared on March 15th, leaving a note for his wife saying she would never see him again.

Let somebody else light the kitch en fire with kerosene. Woman, if you have a good bus band, make the most of him; you may never have another as good as John. Keep your cats so well fed in bird-nesting time that they will be too lazy to go alter the young birds. Cats are among the worst enemies of birds. Broiled calf's liver is excellent. Have it cut in rather thick slices, pour boiling water over them, wipe dry, dip in melted butter, dredge with flour and broil over a clear fire until just cooked through. A happy man or woman is a bet ter thing to find than a five-pound note. lie or she is a radiating fo cus of good will; and his or her entrance into a room is as though another candle had been lighted. Let your boy go hunting, but arm him with microscope, opera glasses and camera, rather than sling shot, rifle or cruel traps. From the use of the first weapons, he will learn lessons of patience, industry and beauty. With the latter he will receive an education that will make him hard and unfeeling, if not actually cruel. When making lye from hard wood ashes, use a barrel having holes bored in the bottom. Have it raised in a slanting position on four bricks resting on a wide board, with a channel cut in the board for the lye to run off into a kettle. Soak the ashes first by pouring on a little water at a time, and then a gallon every hour or so until the strength is extracted. The farmer's wife has been given a good deal of advice as to how she may make pin-money, but she wants more than pins. She would like a few ribbons and a spring bonnet, to say nothing of gloves and shoes and a few yards of edg ing and filmy lace. How would it do for the husband to cut off his tobacco expenditures, and help out the good woman m her struggle for piu-mouey ? May farm Journal.

Lumbermen Track a Bear. The Danville Morning News of May 2nd says: "R. N. Lyons, El mer Lyons and Charles Keefer, lumbermen in the employ of the Catawissa Paper Mill company, are firmly convinced that the ridge be tween Dutch and Frosty valleys, only a few miles from Danville, is the habitat of a bear, one of the biggest of its kind. Bruin was tracked in the soft ground yesterday forenoon and he was only a short distance ahead of the men. Each of the party is a woodsman of life-long experience and it is safe to affirm that he knows bear's tracks when he sees them. The three men were walking down an old road used for hauling lumber on the north side of the ridge on the Dewald tract, when they encountered the bear s tracks. The latter seemed to come down from the bushes and followed the old road for some distance. The bear at one trface walked through a mud puddle leaving in the soft ground bis well-defined footprints. He was a monster, if his tracks be any criterion. Bruin had stepped out of the mud aud water on to a big stone, which was still wet where the bear's foot had left its imprint, showing that the animal had passed that way less than five minutes before the men came. The lumbermen state that there is a large tract of woodlaud in that locality, which together with the old ore mines, affords an excellent home for bears." Remove the Loose Stone. The country roads could be great ly improved if the supervisors would carry out the plain provisions of the Act of the Pennsylvania Legis lature approved July 2nd, 1901. The first section of the Act reads as follows: Section 1. From and after the passage of this act, the townshio supei visors and road commissioners of the several townships within this commonwealth, shall by coutract or otherwise, remove and take away the loose stones from the traveled roads or highways in said township, at least once each month, during the months of May, June, August and October in each year. The penalty is a fine of Sio for each offense. Postmasters are charged with seeiug that this aud all other good road laws are enforc ed on rural delivery routes in their charge. Prof. B. F.
