Town was lively last Saturday even- |
ing, but not in a desirable manuer,
about a dozen intoxicated men
creating disturbance until after 10 o'-
clock. Things of that kind have been
tolerated long enough ; itis a shame
that our borough officials are so slow
in attending to their duties ; hereafter
persons of that class who come to town

A Valuable Recipe,
Shave five cakes of good, hard soap
into just enough boiling water to dis-
solve them nicely. Stir constantly un-
til the soap is dissolved, then add two
tablespoons powdered borax, and a
scant teacup kerosene. Remove the
mixture from the stove before adding
the kerosene. Stir it well, then pour
it into a covered stone jar, and use it
whenever anything very dirty, either
cloth, tinware, woodwork or iron uten-
sils, is to be cleaned. Apply a little to
the outside of your tea kettle, while it
is hot, using a flannel cloth for the
purpose, and see bow quickly you can
clean it, and how biight it will be.
Use a little, also, when cleaning your
windows, and you'll never again re
gard tha! task as something to put off
as long as possible. For cleaning sinks
wash basins and slop jars there is
nothing that can equal it, and by its
use the dish towels can be kept nice
and white without rubbing. Put them
into a pan of cold walter, add enough
of the compound to form a good suds,
and let them come slowly to a boil
Let them boil until they are sufficient-
ly clean, then rinse them and hang
them out. Such work will almost do
itself, while one is attending to other
duties, and the task of keeping clean
is thus robbed of more than one-half
its terrors.
Death of Rev. Dr, Ziegler.
Rev. Dr. Henry Zeigler, at one time
a professor in Susquehanna Universi-
, Lutheran, at Selinsgrove, died at
his home in that place, on Baturday
last at 9 o'clock in the morning. The
deceased was about 83 years of age and
was one of the leaders in the ranks of
the followers of Luther in this state.
He was a profound scholar, an able
preacher and was beloved by all who
knew him. He was the author of
quite a number of volumes devoted to
the Lutheran church and its history.
Dr. Ziegler was the father-in-law of
Rev, .G. W. Fortney, some years ago
principal of the Centre Hall schools.

The White House Design,
The White House is an exact copy
of the Duke of Leinster's palace, Dub-
lin. In March, 1792, the commission-
ers on the building advertised for ‘a
plan for a president's house to be erect-
ed in the city of Washington.” The
prize offered was $500, and that of Jas.
Hoban, a young Irish mechanic, was
accepted, The design was supposed to
be original, but when the house was
completed it was learned that Hoban
had copied it from the duke's palace.

Two Pointed Questions Answered,
What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor if you can-
not get a better price for it ?
Ans, —As there is no difference in
the price the public will buy only the
better, so that while our profits may
be smaller on a single sale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best ?
If both articles are brought promi.
nently before the public both are cer-
tain to be tried and the public will
very quickly pass judgment on them
and use only the better one.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The
people have been using it for years and
have found that it can always be de
pended upon. They may occasionally

ty put forth with exaggerated claims,
but are certain to return to the one
remedy that they know to be reliable,
and for coughs, colds and croup there
is nothing equal to Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. For sale by J.
