Cast Not the First Stone.
"It Is an acknowledged fact that our
young are taueht too much of what they
might learn In the future, while plain, prac
tical education is neglected, etc," is an
article which appeared in the Mauch Chunk
Gazette of the 0th Inst,, under the heading
Big Creek Budget." It was written to
cast reproach upon a certain young man,
of limited means, who is studying aomepf
tlie higher blanches in order to enter col
lege at some future day. Now, if we study
the articles contributed by the wi Iter of
said budget, and who Is a teacher himself,
we find that he Is greviously deficient him-
self in that "plain, practical education,"
and if he Is not blind to all that pertains to
himself he will evident! see that; but it Is
not that, it is merely the jealously and
hatred which men of small mental calibre
entertain against those w'io try to suc
ceed. I hope the young reporter will opply
that adytce which is Intended for others,
falhfully to himself. Bucei'Iiki.uh.

A Ijater Letter
From Mr. Ruby states that his son Is now In

many Inquiries about tho recovery of the lMy,

to try Hood's Sarsaparllla.
What Cim b Added.
To the above statement to mako moro cm

Hood's Sarsaparllla upon the blood? It
would seem to be the positive duly of all who
suffer from any disease or affection caused by
Impure blood, to at least give Hood's Sara
narllla a lair trial. Its many wonderful cures
hav won for It the title of "tho createst
blood purifier ever discovered."
Every Confidence
"Among the few proprietary nrtlelos 1 re

Is one In which I place every confidence. My

Judging from Its sale, which Is more than all
