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 sure.—Ex. 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 ; underground den.

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.

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, j For sale by L. Taggart. 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 j concur with him. | 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. It is easier to preach patience in the i church than it is to practice it with our children. Nearly Forfeits his Life. A runaway almost ending fatally, \ started a horrible ulcer on the leg, of J. B.
