Just before 12 o'clock each day all business must be taken off the wires controlled by the Western Union com pany, and that means the absolute ces sation of telegraphy along the main arteries of electric communication in the principal cities of America. Three minutes before noon wire chiefs in each of the principal cities and the towns and cities leading to and from their larger sisters cease sending or receiv ing messages, no matter how important they may be, and devote themselves to switching on wires in such a way as to make an unbroken chain of communi cation from Washington around the ut termost boundaries of the United States. This is called an "unbroken national circuit." Thus a smooth track is made, along which the electric message may Hash encompassing the Union and an nouncing the time of day. Ten seconds before the time bell strikes comes silence and then a mighty throb, a Titanic heartbeat from the foremost factor in modern commerce, and an electric cur rent pulsates from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from Gotham to the Golden Gate, announcing the fact that the sun has passed over the seventy-fifth meri dian and it is noon at Washington. Hints on Watering Flowers. In potting the plants a quantity of broken pottery, brick or any similar material should be placed in the bot tom of the pot for drainage, and some sand incorporated in the soil This will prevent the soil from becoming B °ggy from overwatering, or any water remaining longer than necessary about the roots in the bottom of the pot. Each time you water give sufficient to saturate thoroughly all the soil in the pot, then do not give any more water until the soil at the surface begins to look somewhat dry. The habit of giv ing a little water each day, whether necessary or not, is detrimental to the health of the plant. Plants will dry out quickly in the house, especially if the temperature is a little higher than is best. To avoid this, set the pots in saucers in which there is about half an inch of sand. N.

McAlarney, editor of Harris burg Telegraph died at his home in Harrisburg yesterday, aged 60 years. Mr. M'A. was well known by many of citizens. Anyhow football isn't a game for de cent people to play.—Butler Times. It would not be too scandalous, perhaps, to say that the Times made a touch down by that little proverb. The services at Baptist Church every Sunday at 11 a. m., are very interesting. Come next Sunday morning and hear one of Rev. J. Wilbur Chapman's ser mons. Sunday School at 12 o'clock. It is being urged that a postal clerk be placed on the flyer between Empo rium and Buffalo. This would be of great service to the public and would afford very rapid transit between Buf falo, Philadelphia and Washington. Representative Sibley said recently that the United States could export 40-, 000,000 tons of coal to Europe, pay the freight thereon, and still be able to compete with prices existing there. This, he says, would be a great boon to American miners. Judge Durham, of the Sullivan-Wy oming district, has made a rule that hereafter in civil suits involving less than ?10 he will hear only Ave witnesses on a siele. This measure is designed to stop packing the court room with wit nesses in petty cases in order to run up bills of costs. At a dinner givon in his honor at New York recently, Mark Twain, speak ing of certain criticisms said: "It'snot the slanders that hurt a man; it's the truth. The world doesn't know you half so well as you know yourself. When you wake up at 2 o'clock in the morning with that feeling of shame and a sort of desolation, it's not the things that the world says you have done that makes you feel that way; it's what you have done that only you know." Some men, remarks the Punxsutaw ney Spirit, are crabbed and irritable. They keep their wives in constant fear of them. And some women are con stantly whining and sulking, and mak ing life miserable for their husbands. Both "put up with it"to avoid scandal. They should not. Life is to short. The home is the place where both the man and woman should find rest and solace and sympathy. There is something wrong with the man or woman who en joys being away from home most of the time. Without a home in the true sense of the word, life is not worth liv ing, and no person should be permitted to make Bedlam of what ought to bo Paradise. The woman who can see nothing but faults in her husband, should not try to cure him of those faults by curtain lectures. She may nag him until both are wrinkled and gray, and he will still be the same man. Nobody, so far as we have any records, was ever scolded into virtue. A curious case is reported from the Third ward, says the Franklin News. "A number of chickens belonging to people living near the Asbestos Works have been in the habit of feeding on the siftings of the fiber asbestos thrown out in the yard for some time and the feed seems to be an incentive to make the fowls lay, but the peculiar fact of the case is that the eggs cannot be cooked. They are like the asbestos — not in the least affected by the fire. It is impossible to boil or fry the hen fruit laid by the chickens that feed on the siftings and they can be laid on the hottest fire for a day at a time without effect. It is thought, however, that the eggs will hatch and a genius of an ex perimenting turn of mind has secured an option on all such eggs and he will purchase an incubator in the hope of securing a lot of lire-proof feathers." It will not be strange if the above ex periment proves a success". A man near Emporium, whose rooster lost a leg replaced the member by slipping a clothespin on the stub. Shortly after ho purchased an incubator and the little chicks when hatched had peg legs, and the man sold clothespins at Ave cents per dozen and realized a handsome profit from his experiment. A Woman's Awful Peril. "There is only one chance to save your life and that is through an operation" were the startling words heard by Mrs. L. B. Hunt of Lime llidge, Wis , from licr doctor after he had vainly tried to cure her of a frightful case of stomach trouble aud yellow jaundice. Gall stones had formed and she constantly trrew worse. Then she began to use Electric Bitters which wholly cured her. It's a wonder ful stomach, iiver and kidney remedy. Cures dyspepsia, loss of appetite. Try it. Only 50 cents. Guaranteed. For sale by L.

An estimate of the rice acreage in Eastern Texas this year places it at 30,- 000 tons. The highest church steeple in the world is that of the Cathedral of Ant werp, 476 feet. The growth of nails on the left hand requires eight or ten days longer than those on the right. Russian railways are the most dan gerous in the world Thirty persons in every million passengers are either killed or hurt. A wideawake American has erected steam pumps on the Jordan and is sup plying churches all over Europe with genuine Jordan water. The beds of the immense coal fields lately discovered in Zululand extend downward for 45 feet in places, and the coal is of good quality. The intemporate use of tea and coffee produces results as real as those of drunkenness. Total blindness is often the result of excessive coffee drinking. There is only one train in the country that exceeds 50 miles an hour in speed for 100 miles' run, and that Is the Em pire State Express. Great Britian has twenty-two. Mr. Wigham of Dublin, the lighting expert, has invented a paraffino lamp for the purpose of lighting buoys. It is designed to burn three months without attention. The longest-lived people have gener ally been those who made breakfast the principal meal of the day. The stom ach has more vigor in the morning than at any other time. Stockholm, Sweden, has 40,000 tele phone stations, one for each house hold. Those who have no apparatus of their own pay only 2i cents for a message within a radius of 50 miles. Belfast has in recent years become one of the strongest centers of Christian Endeavor work in the United Kingdom. Ten years ago there was but one soci ety in Belfast, and, indeed, in all Ire land. To-day Belfast has more than seventy. Political buttons cannot be worn in Canada during the heat of the campaign. This is due to a clause in the Dominion franchise act which says that no person shall exhibit any sign of his political faith after the official nominations are made. It has been ascertained by experi ments that persons who use the tele phone habitually hear better with the left ear than with the right. The com mon practice of the telephone compan ies is to place the "telephone so that it will be applied to the left ear. The entry list for this year's horse show, which will be held in Madison Square Garden, is tjie largest in the history of the organization.

The old home of Stonewall Jackson in Lexington, Va., is now a tenement house, and the dwelling which once sheltered one family comfortably now swarms with a large number of families crowded in uncomfortably. The fam ous Sunday school in which General Jackson taught negroes is still flourish ing. There is in the little town of Fort Lee, just over Hudson, an English wal nut tree 40 years old which once every eight or ten years produces fruit quite as fine as any imported from Southern Europe. There is no other tree within a radius of ICO miles that bears. This is its fruitful year, and the nuts are ex ceptionally fine. There is really but one place in the world where violins are made exten sively. That place is Markneukirchen, with its surrounding villages. There are altogether about fifteen thousand people living there who do nothing but make violins. The inhabitants, from the little urchin to the old grandfather, all are engaged in making some part of the fiddle. A young woman of Cincinnati, 0., who acted as bridesmaid at the wedding of a friend, found a thimble in the piece of bride's cake which she ate. This was regarded as proof that she would die an old maid. To prove that the sign was false she agreed to marry the man to whom she was engaged at once, and invited all the wedding guests to be present at her wedding. A minister was found, and the ceremonv was per formed within three hours of the time when she was acting as bridesmaid.

Dear Sir: What would be the result of selling poor paint with this guaran tee? "If you have any fault to find with this paint, either now in putting it on, or hereafter in the wear,tell your deal er about it. "We authorize him to do what is right at our expense." That means pay damages, don't it? Here's another guarantee: "If your state chemist finds this paint adulterated, we will pay his bill, and send you $100." We stand by both of these guaran tees; as we are the maker, we know all about it. Yours truly, 14 F. W. DEVOE & Co.
