In connection with the elevation of

considerable poitlon en his time in Now

that when Mr. Hallsteau becomes

his pamphlets lost him his cars and
endangered his head. Aubrey Informs
us that "about every thieo hours IiIb
(Prynno's) man was to bring him a
roll and pot or alo to refoclllato his
wasted spirits; so ho studied and drank
nnd munched some bread, nnd this
maintained him till night; and then
he made a good supper. Now, ho did
well not to dine, which breaks off one's
fancy, which will not presently bo re
gained. The dan&er of prior leasonlngmay bo
seen from tho above quotation. Those
who have forgotten about rrynne
would tako him from this note of his
diet to be a Bohemian of a well-known
old fashioned typo; yet he wasn stern,
uncompromising Purltnn, who Buffered
mutilation and tho pllloiy, nnd had a
violent and very tin-I3ohcnilaii flko
prejudice against tho stage. The diet
docs not then pioclnlm tho man. Wo
of tho end of tho nineteenth century
doubt, however, if tho serious student
would do well to "icfoccllato his wast
ed spirits" by drinking a pot of ale
every three liours. Prynno was per
haps wise not to dine, which meant
to lunch In those days, and Implied a
very lieavy meal. Hut the munching
of rolls all day and "good supper" were
questionable. His style was very caus
tic; perhaps because of the misrule of
Charles I, but possibly, also, through
dyspepsia, which also liad so disas

FINE ELK'S HEAD.
Valuable Specimen Given to Proprie

One of tho finest specimens of an
elk's head and antleis ever seen in this
region graccr the ofllee of the Hotel
Jcimn. It ls hung back of the pub
lic desk, a conspltuous position, and
has excited much favorablo tmnme'jit.
Itt. great size and the rnilty ot so per

The latter is a biothor of Hugh Kee

tlnougli him the valuable gift was pie
SPiitcd to Mr. Golfrej. The elk, of which
the head and antlers wore u part, was
killed near Mr. Keenan's Jiotcl nt Kem

NO ST. PATRICK'S DAY PARADE
Fivo Miles of Luzerne County Roads
to Bo Improved.
In 1S!i" the state legislature pas; 1 it
law which allows county commlsMon
eis to have good permanent roatli laid
out In counties upon recommendation
of the grand jurv For the Hist time
the law Is to bo Invoked in this part of
the state. The grand Jui of Luzerne
county has approved tht application of
the county commissioner for the per
manent Impiovement, at the eost of
the count.v, of the five miles of public
load between Hunloi k Cieek nnd
Shlckshlnny.
The Important feature of the Act of
1895 is that certain le idliig highways
arc not township roads but aie county
thoroughfaroH and therefore the county
ought to assist In making them, es
pecially where the township In which
the thoroughfares, are located aie un
able to bear the expense, as is the ease
in tho Hunlocks creek road.
The mode of piocedure Is by petition
to the county commissioners, who In
vestigate the piemlsesi und If It meets
their approval they petition the couit,
which oideis the matter advertised and
laid before the ginnd Juiy and upon
their approval the court fixes a day for
public objections If there be no ob
jections, or If objections lie overruled,
the mutter Is appioved und tho load
becomes a count v road, to be lmptoveel
after a public letting by contract. The
plan clos-ely i trembles that of thu
building of midget In this county. A
peislstent and wl- application of the
law would In twenty-live to fifty yeais
give the state a fine, solid netwoik of
lending thoroughf.it et'.
INDUSTRIAL JOTTINGS.
Succeeded in Entering Brown's Beo
Hivo Frightened Away.
Thieves entered Brown's Bee Hive,
on Lackawanna avenue, Saturday or
Sunday night. They gained access
through a skylight, which they reached
fiom the St. Denis hotel.
It 1j presumed the thieves weie
frightened away, as they left all tlielr
stolen plunder on the loof. The tracks
of a cutter In the nllev at the rear of
the stoto indicates that tho hootv was
to be removed In true modern fashion.
An attempt was made Saturday or
Sunday night to enter Gerson's millin
ery store, nlso on Lackawanna nve
nue. A rear window was broken open
and an effort mado to remove one of
the presetting Item bars. The thieve
weie either disturbed in their work or

"A patty of seven Delavvnre and Hud

line from Farvlew down tho mountain
to the soutli of Waymart," says tho
Carbondnle Leader. "It Is impossible
to say where they will strike the ten

at the prospect of being left out In the
cold.
"The Delaware and Iludwn have
commenced to widen their gravity pas
senger coaches to standaid gauge. Tlio
work is being done In the gravity shops
In this city and Is being pushed as rap

effect 'that they wanted rix coaches re

few elnya looking after tht company's
Interests. Tho Delaware and Hudson
gravity shops have been placed on nine
liours par day Instead of eight. Tho
increase of one hour was necessitated
by the new order which came yester
day on account ot tho changes that
are being1 made In the gravity cais.
"It is expected that the work of
widening that portion of the light track
leading to Backet Brook breaker will
be commenced again soon. There are
rumors to the effect that the company
will again apply to the department for
the continct of earning the mails and
nt the residents of Honesdalo com

Incident Showing What Hemlock
Sawdust Will Do.
rrom tho Stevens Point, Wis., Journal
F. W. Shepuid lecently told the
Northwestern Lumberman that the mill
or the Hunner Lumber company at
Chelsea, with which he Ih connected,
will cut 15,000,000 feet of hemlock dur
ing the coming season, also pino and
hardwood. He says the company le
cently sold four car loads of hemlock
slabs, to be shipped to a paper and
pulp mill In eastern Ohio.
"A funny thing happened up to our
mill at Chelriea recently," said .Mr.
Shcpaid. "Our mill foreman had been
feeding a hen on hemlock sawdust and
meal mixed. He giadually reduced the
amount of meal, until llnallv he fid
her nothing but hemlock sawdust, nnel
she seemed to thrive on It. As the
wanted to set, he gave her a dozen eif
her own eggs nnd sho hatched out
eleven woodpeckers and one chliken
with a wooden leg. I tell you then '
merit In hemlock, even in tho sa.v
dust." Thi3 is a cuiious incident, but Mr
Shep.ird is a former Stevens Pointer,

Ring Too Often.
New York, Jan. 9. Tho tight between
Oscar Gardner, the Omaha Kid, and
Dave Sullivan, of Ireland, ended dls
astiouely for the latter in the seven
teenth round before the Lenox Ath
letic club tonight.
Sullivan seemed full of fight when
tho seventeenth tound opened and went
right to his man. In a clinch the legs
of both boxers became entangled and
Sullivan fell to the floor. The moment
he got ii Gardner planted two fear
ful tight-hand svlngs on Dave's head
and put the Irishman down and out
with a wild left swing, which landed
flush on Sulllvun'is mouth. All three
of tho blows were delivered within ten
seconds nnd the last one sent Sullivan
to the land of nod for the first time In
his ling career.
Gardner's legs weie in anything but
good shape, but despite Sulllvan'o ef
fotts to make him use them tho Kid
lefused to be coaxed into tho sprint
ing and saved himself for the supremo
effort when the time arrived. Gardner
waited frequently for Sullivan to go
to him nnd either lead or get Inside
Sullivan's leads and counter haul.
Thcfie tactics puzzled Sullivan and at
times rattled him so that he showed
unmistakable signs of having lost his
temper. Sullivan wab beaten fairly
and squarely and thete were no ex
cuses made when the bout was over,
The men were billed for a tvventv-flve-iound
go at catchw eights. Gardner
said he weighed 120'j pounds, and Sul
livan's seconds snld that Dave wat
five pounds heavlei.
After the men had donned the gloves
the betting took a turn In Gaidner's
favor, $2,000 being laid on him at 100
to SO.

Hnrd-workingmcn. especially In the
learned professions, are often puzzled
as to the right hours for their meals
and the light diet to be taken nt
their meals. Tho much grave ques
tion of stimulants nlso interests them
peisonally. Tho fear of a mid-day
meal Is very common among brain
workers. A good luncheon la apt to
Interfere with Inspiration, especially
If any form of alcohol be taken. Tea.
very populars with scholais, Is less
objectionable as to Its Immediate ef
fects, but It Is dangerous to digestion,
especially among scholars, who, llko
workmen, nearly always take too much
and prefer their tea to be strong, "ted
as blood," as Garrlck used to say. The
chief elanger in taking too light a mid
day day meal Is that tho student Is
nt his worst, pliyslcally. Just before
dinner time. Hence, dinner is render
ed a fiesh source of uyspepsla, nnd If
ho strolls about beforo the evening
meal he Is apt to take cold.
The special stimulants of groat men
have been recorded In their memoirs
One of the most remarkable records of
this kind has come to light in Au
brey's "Hrlef Lives," founded on notes
tnken by the author In the middle of
tho seventeenth century. Few eliinks
