WILL WELCOME TRAMPS.
Btroudiburg Is Preparing Ball and
Chain for Visitors.
Special to the Bcranton Tribune.
Stroudsburjr, March 1. Tho tramp
question Ir likely to bo settled at nn
early day. Both of tho two new mayors,
of this town and East Stroudsburg,
have apparently solved the question.
They have concluded that the ball and
chain Is just the thing for tramps.
Mayor-elect Staples, when asked
about the new solution to the tramp
question, said: "A ball and chain
would be Just the thing, with a little
stone-breaking thrown In. The tramps
are Imposing on our people and need
curbing, and at once. As soon as I am
sworn In, I shall advocate the matter
before tho borough council." Mayor
elect Puterbaugh, of East Stroudsburg,
1( equally as outspoken as Mayor-elect
Staples. Mayor Puterbaugh said: "Most
cmphatlcallydo I think a ball and chain
would be a good thing to rid these two
towns of tramps. There are too many
of these hulking loafers about hero and
these hoboes who call at back doors de
serve no pity. They are tramps by
choice and not by circumstances. Put
me down as favoring a ball and chain
and quickly, too."

From Storms and Signs.
Wo wish to extend our thanks nnd
best wishes to ono nnd ull of tho num.
crous newspapers that made so many
complimentary remarks about our
February predictions fulfilled. Uy thi
"clippings" of a "Butenu" In Now
York, wo learn that out "predictions"
aro read by more than fourteen million
people every month. As our long rango
prediction made in October Jast that
February and March (1000) would
prove to bo two destructive months
and February has already proved our
saying, vve now wish to warn the peo
ple of nn approoohlng evil that will
fall upon America; for the great plan
ets are nearlng n point in tho heavens
w here they w 111 form evil conjunctions
which will, vve believe, sand many
ovlls upon our own country! and tho
sun of pity for the shedding of human
blood will set behind tho western hills,
and tho United States will be plunged
in the blackness of absolute night so
far as regard for the shedding of hu
man blood Is concerned. Wo warn all
true Americans to to.? on their guard.
Because the sun of pity will set In
obedience to tho doctrine of Imperial
ism which stands with one foot upon
our nation, one foot upon Its monetary
Interests and resting its body across
tho neck of "labor."
THE STORMS AND SIGNS.
Tho greatest regular and le actlnnnry
storm periods during the current
month will occur between the 1st and
Bth, and 7th and 11th, th Kith and 17th,
the 19th and 23d, the 23th and 27th and
tho 29th and 31st. Thero will bo gicat
danger of disastrous stoims, hurri
canes, bllzzatds, floods nnd tidal
waves; earthquakes nnd alrqunkos; as
tho gaseous matter passing over both
the sun and the mocn will make a
break sometime between tho ltd nnd
13th, the 10th and the 2.'d and tho 31st,
and cause great destiuctlon In both
countries. Tho rotithern and tho west
ern states will b sorely ni'llcted by
floods and blizzards; while the eastern
states will wonder at the phenomenal
changes, the electrical displays and
sweeping storms along the sea coast.
Our own state may get a great sur
prise In the shape of storms and foods,
ns one of the breaks in the gaseous
matter above referred to will occur
over the same latitude under which our
state lies. Watch out for another
strange phenomenon In the heavens
this month.
UNFORTUNATE DAYS.
The results of many years extensive
astrological research have Dhovvn us
conclusively that tho planets not only
rule over men, but over all the various
things of earth, and experience has
taught us that the follow lng days dur
ing the month of March are unfortu
nate days for any ono to begin any
new operation or start on a Journey.
The loth. 16th and 18th. The 5th, 6th.
10th, 12th and 13th will be unfortunate
days for all males born on these dales
during the month of March In any
ear that Is past; and the 1st, 2d, 8th,
9th. Ifith, 17th, ISth nnd 20th will be
unfortunate days for all females born
on any of tho above dates. The 8th,
12th, 13th. 15th, 1rd and 27th will be
unfortunate davs for those afilletod
with heart disease, and all such should
be careful nnd" avoid public meetings
of any exciting nature during those
days.
VALUABLE INFORMATION FREE.
Information that costs us days and
weeks of hard study and labor v.o give
to the public free; Information which
under the 'Patent Medicine Laws"
would cost many thousand dollars.
The LaGrlppemonli, that appeared in
the old enuntiy. rs our I'cbruaiy pre
dictions foretold, will continue to
sweep over that country with unabated
force, nnd will reach America In Its
most malignant foim. Ve have dis
covered that tho "oil of onion" will de
stroy and drive nway tho I.aGrippr
monta microbes. (Hoist one dozen
middling sized onion-, press out the
oil, add a lump oi pepper half as larg"
as an egg, and some pepper, hent It all
up together and dtlnk It down), keep
In the hou.e for a dny or two and tho
Germs will fly nw.iy nnd begone.
The best dnys for fishing and hunt
ing will be the 1st, 18th and 29th; and
the next best days w 111 be tho 3d, 9th,
20th and :11th. Reiember that fish
should be bled as soon us caught, for
nil fish that die with the blood In their
bodies aro not In a fit condition to ba
eaten bv man. "Thou shall not cat
the blood."
The hog cholera will continue to
spread In many localities. Burnt corn
and sulphur will destroy these cholera
microbes In nine cases out of ten.
For all such Information, and when
to plant all kinds of seeds, sow grass
and grain, trim trees, set hens, etc.,
send ten cents to Prof. C. Coles, Kings

THE BATTLE CHARIOT.
A Grim Reminder of tho Combats of
the Heroic Times.
Prom tho Scientific American.
The chariot was used In antiquity
for tho battle, the chute, In public
processions and In games. It had two
wheels and was drawn by two horses,
and when one or two hoises wore added
they vveio attached to each side of the
main pair by a side trace, fastened
to the front or the chariot. Thesa
chariots have only come down to iu
In fragments, with the exception of tho
one In the Aichacologlcal Musuem of
Flotence, which Is n unlquo examplo
of a war chariot, the so-called "Blga
dl Frasslno," found by Roasellneo In
a tomb at Thobes. It Is certainly as
old as the fourteenth centuty U. c.
It s probably a trophy obtained In tho
north by some Egyptian warrior.
Thero Is an entire absence of metal In
the construction. Immediately on tho
axle, without springs of any kind,
rests the basket or body of tho chariot,
which consisted of a floor to stand on,
and a semi-circular guard aiound thi
front and about half tho height of tho
driver. It is entirely open at the back,
so that the combatants might leap to
the ground and up again as became
nccessaty by the exigencies of action.
There was no seat, and generally In
war chat lots thero wns only loom for
the combatant and hU chniloteer to
stand in. The pole, as In the present
Instance, was usually attached to tho
mlddlo of the axle, although to out
ward appearances It looked as though
It sprang from tho front of the basket.
At the end of the polo was the yoke,
which looked like a ram's hotns. De
pending from this by leather thongs
was a Y-shaped piece, which prcfer
nbly took the place of tho animals.
Besides tho harness of each horse thero
wero a bridle and a pair of reins eome
what in tho tamo style as in use nt
the present day. These wero mado of
leather and were ornamented with
studs of Ivory and metal, The reins

whom tho bow was the pilnclpal arm
of attack, were richly mounted with
quivers full of arrows, while those of
tho Greeks, who used the spear, weio
plain except as regards mere decora
tions. The Persians and the ancient
Britons used a class of chariots having
the wheels mounted with sharp, sickle
shaped blades, which cut to pieces
whatever came In their way. This was
ptobably the Invention of the Persians.
The use of the battle chailot teally
belongs to the heroic period. The war
llor standing by tho side of his chari
oteer wns driven In front of the line to
invite hostile wnrrlois to single com
bat. Aftei the stiateglo skill of a com
mander superseded the demands on his
personal valor tho chariot was tians
ferrcd fiom the battlefield to the ntp
podtome where nlone Its otlglnal form
was preserved. The desetlptlon of tho
Homeric battle chariot thciefore to a
great extent nlso applies to tho historic
chariot of the race eouise. Tho small
dl.'meter of tho chailot wheel may be
explained fiom tho desire of prevent
ing the chailot from being opposed by
the impediments in the battlefield such
as debris or dead bodies. The rim was
usually formed of four felloes In which
the four spokes wero lot. The upper
rail which was of either wood or metal,
varied greatly in form, and was In
tended to be grasped by tho wan lor
on Jumping onto the chariot, while tho
front part solved for fastening the
reins and the traces of the "wheel
horses." In the Roman ttiumphal
chariot a covering of leather served to
ward off missiles, and later on the
sides were composed of strong boards.
Unfortunately we know ery little of
tho vehicles of everyday use. They
nearly all seem to be a variety of what
we now term the "gig."
Another Model Town.
Undeterred by the fate of Pullman
and Dolgevllle, the owner of a coal
tract near Pittsburg Is building a
model mining town. Each ot Its houses
of brick and stone will stand on a
quarter-acre lot, with flower beds and
an osage orange hedgo In front. School
buildings, leading and club house,
churches and stons will be provided,
thus leaving the miners nnd thelt fami
lies, to the number of thiee thouand,
nothing to do but move In and be hap
py. Pome ptecautloiiH aie, however, to
be taken ajialnst such an Issue of (be
enterprise as has befallen other experi
ments of the same 'kind. Tho homes
nro to become the piopertv of tho In
dividual minors, and thev ate to tun
the place as In the case ot other vil
lages. The stores are to bo managed
on the pioflt-sharlng plan. Club and
leading toom membership will Involvo
tho payment of dues The Mile of li
quor In or nenr the place will bo haired.
"The Intention Is," savsi tho founder
of tho town, "to piovldo every benefit
with which an emplovo can bo sup
plied. On tho other hand, the cost of
producing co.il rau't bo made us low as
It can bo mado legitimately." If tho
latter half of this declaration yip'lcs
that the miners aie to accept less p-iv
than that given elsewhere In the sann
dlstilct for llko labor, as an nrfrt to
the provision mado In their behalf, tho
falluro of tho scheme, however, careful
ly framed In other lcspects, can salely
bo predicted.
