Fewer Gallons; Wears Longer.
The number of men available for
military duty in Pennsylvania is 937,-
702, nearly a million men. And its
dominancy in the manufactnre of weap
ons of war, offensive and defensive,
owing to the greatness of its steel indus
tries, adds to its military power and re
sources. Pennsylvania is more than a
great state—in many respects it is a
nation.
A dog hitched to a lawnmower
stopped pulling to bark at a passer-by.
The boy, who was guiding the mower,
said: "Don't mind the dog, he is just
barking for an excuse to rest. It is
easier to bark than to pull the ma
chine." It is easier to bark than to
work; easier to burn a bouse than to
build one; easier to hinder than
to be helped; easier to destroy reputa
tion than to construct character Fault
finding is as dangerous as it is easy.
Anybody can grumble, criticise or cen

The Bradford Record on Tuesday
says: J. M. White who is an inmate of
the Smethport jail, will be waited on by
Constable Spreter to-day and served
with a warrant containing additional
charges similar to those which caused
his incarceration Pour more young
girls between the ages of 8 and 12 years
have given their testimony before
Alderman Foley, and an additional
charge will be made against him. The
detaiis are most revolting, and if proved
there is little doubt but the prisoner will
go down to the penitentiary for a term
of years.
According to the advance sheets of
the Catholic Director, for 1903, there is
a total Catholic population of 11,289,710
in the United States proper, or one
seventh of the total population. Taking
into consideration the newly acquire
possessions, the Catholic population
under the flag is: United States, 11,-
289,710; Philippine Islands, 6,56-5,998;
Hawaii, 33.000; American Samoa, 3,000;
Guam, 9,000; Porto Rico, 953,243; total,
18,853,951. The total population of this
whole territory is 84,233,069, which
makes the Catholic population under
the Stars and Stripes between one
fourth and one-fifth of the total.
An exchange says the question is
often asked. "How much coal is
there in an acre?" So much coal land
has been leased and bought that the
question is pertient. A cubic foot of
coal makes a bushel. 4n acre is a little
over 200 feet each way, 43,560 square
feet, equal to 43,560 bushels in one foot
vein. If the vein is lour feet thick, an
acre contains 184,240 bushels and a five
foot vein would produce 228,800 bush
els. Counting 26 bushels to a ton a four
foot vein would produce 6970 tons to
the acre. At 3 cents a ton royalty the
coal would be worth $208.10 an acre,
and at 4 cents a ton it would be worth
$278.8 C an acre.
Outside the oil country, muses the
Bradford Era, the plain people don't
know what is meant by a "dry hole."
In the oil country it is well understood
A dry hole is the kind that is drilled by
a hopeful combination of small capital
ists, usually. They carefully secure a
lease having "surface indications" and
engage a contractor who insists upon
being paid for his services. When the
place is reached where the paystreak
should be located, nothing is on tap but
pulverized, dark colored slate or other
i geological formation duly ground into
a fine, gritty Hour. This is very dry
and on aec6ut of its dryness the well is
called a dry hole.
in order to test the Groundhog Day,
theory an Adams County, Pa , man lust
fall captured one of the animals and put
it in ao enclosure with an open and

i playful, but alxjut two months ago re
tired to the underground den where it

It came out in the morning, fed well,
frisked about iu the sunshine for several

having seen its shadow. To prove the
superstition the animal must live in
seclusion six wteks longer, during
which time winter must also prevail.
At last si-counts the groundhog had
not appeared and the investigator was
watching tlin entrance of its uuder

A Passenger Steamer Goes to the
Bottom.
NORFOLK, Va., February 17.—A cy
clone struck the passenger steamer
Olive, which plies between Franklin,
Va., and Edenton, N. C., at 9:30 o'clock
last nigat and sent her to the bottom of
the Chowan river, off Woodley's Pier,
between Mount Pleasant and Oliver's
wharf.
Seventeen people are known to have
been drowned and others who were
rescued are in a serious condition
The whirlwind when it struck the
Olive caused her togo over on her
beams end and when she righted it was
only to sink on account of the water
she had taken. A majority of the pas
sengers and crew were below at the
times and had no opportunity to reach
the pilot house of the vessel. This
point was the only portion left above
water, and in it standing waist deep
from the time of t'. •> accident until 6 •
o'clock in the morning, Captain George :
H. Withey and five others were saved, i
No complete list of the dead has been
obtained.
At 6 o'clock this morning the river
steamer Pettit have in sight and res
cued the almost frozen survivors.
The Olive was a small single screw
steamer owned by J. A. Pretlow, bf
Franklin, Va., and has been plying be- j
tween North Carolina and Virginia for
several years. She left Franklin last
evening for Edenton «nd had almost
reached her destination when the cy
clone struck her.
Sea of Hemlock Lumber.
A stock inventory of the Goodyear
Lumber Company shows 3,722,000 feet \
of rough No. 1 hemlock at the Galeton [
mill and 199,000 of the No. 2 quality.
At the Austin mills there are 2,041,000
of rough No. 1 and 95,000 of No. 2.
Of single surfaced stock there is in
Galeton 580,000 of No. 1, and 1,416,000
of No. 2. The Austin mill figures are
366,000 and 1,537,366.
The dressed and matched lumber at
the Galeton mill is given as 480,000 feet :
of No. I.and 1,564,000 of No. 2. The
Austin showing is 617,000 and 205,000.
Austin has also 53,000 feet of first quali
ty Ship Lap lumber.
The total nnmber of feet of hemlock
lumber in Galeton is 7,961,000, and in
Austin 5,914,336, dry and partly dry.
January was the banner month at
the Goodyear mill. The amount of
lumber turned out was the largest in
its history and as the mill is keeping j
everlastingly at it day and night during
every month in the year, there is no
doubt but in the annual output of sawed
lumber, the Galeton mill is the largest
in the world.—Galeton Leader.

and New Jersey, and he does not want
to see a pound of coal used on the en
tire system between Philadelphia and
sections named.—Renovo News.

Tendency of the Times.
The tendency of medical science is to
ward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being »iven to the
subject. It is easier and better to pre
vent than to cure. It has been fully
■ demonstrated that pneumonia, one of the
i most dangerous diseases that medical men
have to contend with, can be prevented
by the use of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. Pneumonia always results from
a cold or from an attack ofinfluenza (prip),
and it has been observed that this remedy
! counteracts any tendency of these diseases
| toward pneumonia. This has been fully
| proven in many thousands of cases in
w'nic|) this remedy has been used during
i the great prevalence of colds and grip in
j recent years, and can be relied upon with
implicit confidence. Pneumonia often
I results from a slight cold when no danger
j is apprehended until it is suddenly dis-
. covered that there is fever and difficulty
| in breathing and pains in the chest, then
jit is announced that the patient has pneu
| monia. Re on the safe side and take
i Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as soon as
i the cold is contracted. It always cures,

It will be time enough to indict others
when we have finished the inventory of
our own faults.
I have used Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy for a number of years and have no
hesitancy in saying that it is the best
remedy for coughs, colds and croup I
; have ever used in mv family. I have not
words to express uiy confidence in this
remedy.—Mrs. J. A. Moore, North Star,
Mich. For sale by L. Taggart.
When you can honorably do so the
j best way to conquer your enemy is to

| The scratch of a pin may cause the loss
of a liuib or even death when blood
j poisioning results from the injury. All
danger of this may be avoided, however,
by promptly applying Chamberlain's Pain
' Ralm. It is an antiseptic and quick
healing liniment for cuts, bruises and
burns. For sale by L. Taggart.
