I have seldom felt a more delicious sense of repose than when crossing the ocean during tho summer mouths 1 sought a place where I could lie ulone on the deck, look up at the constella tions, with Lyra near the zenith, and, .,hile listening to the chinks of the engine, try to calculate the hundreds of millions of years that would be re quired by our ship to reach the star Alpha L,yrae, If she could continue her course In that direction without ever stopping. It is a striking example of how easily we may fail to realize our knowledge when I say that I have thought many a time how dellclously one might puss those hundred millions of year In a journey to that star, with out Its occurlng to me that we are ac tually making that very Journey at a speed compared with which the motion of the steamship Is slow Indeed. Thiough every year, every hour, ev ery minute, of human history from the llrst appearance of man on the earth, from the era of the builders of the Pyramids, through the times of Caesar and Hannibal, through the period of every event that history re cords, not merely our earth, but the sun and the whole solar system with It, have been speeding toward the star of which I speak on a journey of which we know neither the beginning nor the end. During every clock-beat through which humanity has existed, It has moved on this Journey by an amount which wo cannot specify more exact ly than to say that It Is probably be tween Ave and nine miles per second. We are at this moment thousands of miles nearer to ega than we were a few mlnutcH ago, when I began this article, and through every future mo ment, for untold thousands of years to come, the earth will bo nearer that star, or nearer to the place where the star now Is, by hundreds of miles for every minute of time to come and gone. When shall we get there Probably In less than n million years; perhaps Jn half a million. Wo cannot tell ex actly, but get there we must, If the Jaws of nature and the laws of mo tion continue as they are. To attain to the stars was the seemingly vnln wish of the philosopher, but the whole human race Is, In a certain sense, real izing this wish as rapidly as a speed of six or eight miles a second can bring It about.

Five years ngo a Floilda friend sent Farmer Ttyn ders, of South AVIndsor, an nlllgalor, which' the latter highly prized. It was dally seen on tho shores of the Sus quehanna, and thrived wonderfully well. Last summer Farmer Ityndera tool: a party of New York friends out on the river to fish. The boat capsized, and the party were compelled to swim ashore. All of the outfit was lost. This winter the alligator had been kept in a big tank In a warm barn. A few even ings ago there was a great splashing In the tank, and tho alligator uttered strange sounds. In a few hours ho rolled over on his back and died In great agony. Farmer Rynders cut open the animal to determine the cause of death. Jn.the stomach he found a fish ing reel, a quantity o hooks and lines, and six bottles of brandy tightly corked. The alligator died from Indi gestion. TOWN TOPICS. While attempting to jump upon a caboose In the Erie yard on Sunday afternoon, Tommy, the 12-ycar-old son of J. Lewis, fell between and under tho wheels, and one leg was crushed and lacerated. The little fellow died a few hours later. The funeral will occur on Wednesday. As a result of the recent revival meet ings, In the Baptist church, fifteen per sons were baptized on Monday evening. Mrs. J. Woodbrldgo Barnes, of Phila delphia, state superintendent of pri mary work, addressed a union Sunday school rally In the Methodist church on Sunday evening. Mrs. Barnes Is an able and entertaining speaker, and she held the attention of the large audl enca throughout. She addressed a Wayne county convention In Waymart on Monday. Yesterday was St. Valentine's day, a day set apart for fools to exchange por traits. Prof. W. L,. Thatcher, of Harford, will on Friday evening next, In the Lnnsr-oro Methodist church, deliver his nbl" and Instructive lecture on "Get tysburg." under the auspices of Tre malno Post, O. A. R. THIS PIG WILL CLIMB TREUS. Farmer Wertzler, of Germantown, re cently received from a friend In Cali fornia n tree-climbing pig. The ani mal weighs about 100 pounds, has a bristly brown h'lde, snoot like an or dinary pig, front teeth like a rodent, largo canine teeth and powerful grind ers. The fore feet have hooked claws, the tall is thick and long, and, to crown all, It has a pouch In which to carry food. Naturalists think that It has been produced by "crossing" the wild hog with some tree-cllm'blng animal. RAILROAD ECHOES. The Erie's annual statement Is very satisfactory. The Erie's miners this month re ceived the smallest pay on record, tho amounts ranging from 13.15 to $7. The Erie will send all' of Its Injured employes, between Susquehanna and Lackawaxen, to the new Paul Deve reux hospital In Deposit. The Erie ran a newspaper train of three cars from New York to Buffalo on Sunday. The distance, 425 miles, was made In 426 minutes. Between Hnrnellsvllle and Buffalo, 93 miles! the run was made In S5 minutes. Next Sunday an effort will be made to Im prove upon this fast time. The coming summer the Erie expects the heaviest run of stock, meat and fruit In Its history. Now railroad Iron and oak ties nre being distributed along the Erie's Sus quehanna Division. FINISHED HIS STORY. A month ago a party of choppers were cutting railroad ties and mine props on the mountain near Sherman. Tom Gifford, one of the choppers, com menced telling a story. When In the midst of the yarn he was accidentally struck on the head with an axe, and fell unconscious. He remained uncon scious until last Sunday, when sur geons trephined his skull. Immediate ly upon removing the pieces of skull from the brnln, Gifford resumed the btory which was stnrted a month ago. SIDE ISSUES. A New Mllford man shot seven times nt a wild cat, killed his own dog, wounded a farmer In the leg, and near ly put out his own eyes. The wild cat escaped. Young man, don't have too many "best girls." Remember a little syrup makes one pancake more palatable than it will be if It Is spread over a dozen. It is hard to convince a man who has just been hit behind the ear with n snowball that "everyihlng was created for tho best." Coal dealers prefer Newfoundland dogs to any other breed. They weigh more, and they sit quietly in tho cart while the load Is being weighed. "The Lord loveth a cheerful giver"; Poor aid Weak Catarrh and Bronchial Trouble Had no Appotlto-Now Bettor In Every Way-A Dolicato Child. "Borne time since I took a sudden cold and could not get rid of it. Being subject to catarrh and bronchial trouble I coughed terribly. 1 lost my appetite and grew poor and weak and I did not feel like work, I began taking Hood's Sarsapa rllla. In a short time the cough disap peared, I slept well, had a good appetito and I was better In every way. Last spring I was not feeling well, I had no ap petite and no strength. I resorted to Hood's Barsaparllla and soon felt more like work. My little nephew was a deli cate child and had a humor which trou bled him so he could not rest at night. Ho has taken a few bottles ol Hood's Bar saparllla and now he has a good appotito and is able to sleep." Mtsa AB3IE J. I'ltUEMAN, South Duxbury, Mass. HOOd'S Saparma Is the One True Wood I'urlllor.

A Mormon elder was In town for an hour on Friday. Receiving no encour ngement, he ambled hence. Tho con gregation will nrlse und sing tho good old Methodist hymn, beginning: "And, believing, wo rejoice to see the curse removed I" IN SUSQUEHANNA COUNTY. Mormon elders have paid a second trip to Unlondale, distributing tracts. Several Montrose lawyers will Join a second Montrose party bound for Klon dike. The lawyer will not dig for gold, but as soon as litigation begins will gobble all the miners have. Messrs. If. S. Conkln and W. B. Stod dard are candidates for the Montrose postmastershlp. "And there are oth ers." The New York Sun recently con tained n mild sort of an apology for publishing a scurllous article concern ing Prof, und Mrs. M. W. Cargill. x According to the Montrose Democrat, n number of Susquehanna county "Re publicans" attended the recent state meeting of Independent Republicans. One of the certain things of the fu ture is, that Hon. Daniel W. Searlo, of Montrose, will succeed himself as pres ident Judge of Susquehanna county. TIs well. He Is an able and Just Judge. The Susquehanna County Medical so ciety Is sixty years old. It will hold Its annual meeting In Montrose, May 3. There are 318 teachers regularly em ployed In the public schools of Susque hanna county. Tho Harford fair tho best visiting place In Pennsylvania will be held on Wednesday and Thursday, Sept. 28-29.

The Hallstead Herald's' Elkdale cor respondent indites these very sugges tive lines: Oh yo who long for sunshine And tho balmy duys of spring. To hear the bees a humming And bco the blue birds on tho wing. Although the snow Is six feet deep And surely petting deeper. Although your hay Is almost gono And prices getting steeper. T'iko courcgo, there will come a time Although you may think not. When you will worry Just us hard Ilcrauso It Is so hot. THE CROWS HELD COURT. There Is a vast colony of crows win tering near Windsor. A week ago a Windsor farmer named Lee, passing on the mountain rear the crow's roost, said the crows, with appalling whir ring, shrieking and cawing, rose high above the surrounding ground and then, swiftly descending, formed a hol low circle in the center of the field. Then from the Inner edge of the circle a select few ranged themselves In groups In the center. Court being opened, two culprit crows were brought before the bar. Under guard they stood there .silently, with hang-dog heads and guilty looks. Their trial lasted half an hour, and all the wrang ling of a Lackawanna court was In dulged In. Sentence ws pronounced, and suddenly half a dozen powerful crow executioners pounced upon the unresisting victims, and beat them to death with their beaks, wings and claws. The crow public approved by amazing acclamations, and vaet clouds cf crows whirled and swirled from air to earth In an ectasy of approbation. They soon scattered to the winds every vestige of their former criminal brethren. ODDS AND ENDS. There Is an old soldier In Susque hanna county seeking a pension who la seven feet high. He says he is a suf ferer from chronic bronchitis, due to a cold he acquired during the war, for which the government Is directly re sponsible, because the commissioning department was not able to find an overcoat to lit h'lm, and the blankets were too short. A negro, who says he is 100 years old, was In town on Monday, exhibit ing himself to physicians, for a con sideration. He had two perfect hearts, one on the left and one on the right side. He can move them up and down several Inches, either together or sepa rately, simply by Inflating and con tracting the lutiES. He also has dou ble sots of ribs. The man claims that he has always been In perfect health. Tho statement that he Is 100 years old Is open to doubt, but he has two hearts all the same. He was a puzzler to the physicians, A Susquehanna woman fainted when she saw her husband In church last Sunday. Ho had not been Inside a church for twenty years and she thought It must bo his ghost. NO BED OF ROSES. The newspaper field Is wide and full of thorns and roses. If you roast the ungodly the preacher smiles. If you roast the preacher the ungodly smile. If you roast the Prohibitionist the sa loonkeeper smiles and sets 'em up! If you roust the saloonkeeper the Pro hibitionist smiles. It you swear, you are a very wicked man; If you pray, you are a hypocrite. If you have an opinion, you get cursed; If you don't havo an opinion, are a nonentity. Tho preacher knows one thing, the sinner knows nnother, but the newspaper man Is supposed to know everything. He Is the best man and the worst In the com munity. PARAGRAPHED PLUNDER. The elegant new Presbyterian church edifice will be dedicated about March 13, with appropriate ceremonies, Among tho clergymen expected are Rev.. Drs. P. II. Brooks and T. A. Mills, of Wllkes-Barre; Rev. Charles Lee, of Carbondale, and Rev. Dr. Edward Taylor, of Blnghamton. The board of trade is wrestling with tho sewerage question. Largely attended revival services are being held In the Avenue Methodist church, Oakland side. Quite a num ber of persons have professed conver sion. It Is expected that the unfortunate dissensions In the Oakland Methodist church will be patched up at the com ing session of the Wyoming confer ence. NO FLOWERS NO FUNERAL. Captain Georgo It. Guss, editor of tho Chester County Democrat, lately com mitted sulcldo by Inhnllng Illuminating gase. Befcre doing so ho wrote tho following note: "Standing on tho brink of eternity, I ask tho forgiveness of all, as I for give all. No (lowers, no funeral. God bles.s yout" Being an old editor, he had had ex perlenco publishing misleading and untruthful obituary notices and alleged poetry, and "thanks to friends for burying the dear departed one out of our sight," and left his protest against such Inflictions upon newspaper read . era and publishers. Whitney. THE MARKETS. Wnll Street Kovlew. Now York, Feb. 15. Today's sharp rally In stocks Is to Ikj attributed to the covering of short contracts put out In yesterday's Hurry. Buying was said to be heavy for Warrington account, which wus a heavy seller yesterday. Yesterday's losses were more thun re covoicd In most casss, notwithstanding a small volume of business today. There wus at least ono period of gener al reaction during tho day but It was of short duration and declines reach ed small proportions. There wus also profit-taking In a few special stocks, which did not affeot the general list to a noticeable extent. Total gules were 311,700 shares.
