The Value of Honey.
Probably most jeople consider honey

sw.vt sauce no ln-iter, no worse. All
hhotild know that it jnissesses one great
Mipcriority ease of digestion. The
nectar of flowers is almost wholly cane

l - hange this to grape sugar, and so
pvpare it that it is almost ready for
a- iiui'.ation without any effort on the
part f the stomach; in fact, Professor
A. J. Cook once styled honey "digested
11 vtar.'' It will I readily Jseeii that
h tooy is a very desirable lood for those
wiili weakened digestive Kwers. If

ta-'cs of honey will act almost like

sult'.-ving from some forms of kidney
tro idle will find that honey is a much
more W-ncficial food for them than is

Tale of a Wildoat
What Is by long odds the liest hunt
ing story of the xenson comes from Ft.
lU-gisand the wtion foreman, Xels
Thompson, who lwks after the hnake
track at that place, is the hero. It is
prolwbly the fircaseof its kind on
record, "and establishes an interesting
precedent in the killing of wild cats.
These varmints have heretofore been
considered fit victims for any means of
extermination, however unsportsman
like it might W. They have been shot,
trapped, poisoned aud drowned, but
Xels Thorn ison has introduced a new
method of doing away with the cats
whose only drawlmck is the factthat it
em newr be generally introduced, as
the conditions under which it is ojer
ative do not exist in every locality
where wild cats are found. To suc
cessfully rry out the Thompson
method it is iH-cessury to have a cold
day, a deep stream and a railroad track
running close by it.
Iist Thursday morning as Thomp
son and his gang of sturdy Scandina
vians were pumping their handcar
along the track on the way to their
work, which that day waa along the
clay bluffs east of SL Ilegis, they were
somewhat startled by the angry snarl
ing of a wild cat ahead of them. They
slowed up the car as they rounded the
bluff and a strange sight greeted their
eyes. The morning was bitt-r cold and
a fringe of ice bordered the batiks of
the St. Itegis liiver, which rushed
along just below the track. Hroken
ice and a wet trail up the liank showed
that the cat had just swam through
the icy stream and explained his pres
ent predicament. For he certainly
was in the gravest predicament in
which ever a wild eat found himself.
He was fastened firmly to one of the
steel mils by one fore foot.
The supposition is that the cat had
come through the river and leajn-d up
the track embankment- His last jump
brought one of his wet fore feet upon
the rail and, according to the familiar
principle of physics, it froze to the
steel. There he was, held as fast as if
in the jaws of a trap. The ground
showed that he had struggled to free
himstlfbut his efforts had been in
vain.
As the handcar approached, the cat
swung around to face the intruders
and, in doing so, another foot struck
the rail ami was held firmly. A few
more struggles, a strong brace to free
the captive feet and the two free pedal
extremities touched the rail. Snarling
and with Hashing eyes the captive
creature watched the the section men
alight from the handcar, but he wtis
incapable of resistance. A blow from a
crowbar cracked his skull and the
victim of cold water was dead. It re
quired a strong pull to detach the froz
en feet from the rail and when they
did some patches of skin still adhered
to the steel. Aunotmla Stunt lartL

Of course the hundreds of young
girls who are rcaity at this moment to
marry for love, with no thought of the
practical side of life which presents it
self after the wedding, will think the
writer a horrid, mercenary wretch be
cause she announces as her opinion
that all men should lie compelled by
law to prove that they are able io take
care of a wife and show a tidy little sum
that they had saved before asking a
woman to enter into any matrimonial
bargain with them.
Ileal ly, though, girls, such a senti
ment is not a mercenary ne, quite the
reverse, it only breathes of sound, good
common sense, for with such a law en
acted there would lie saved the un
thinking ones much sorrow, while
those who had exercised a certain
amount of prudence would have noth

condemn, it is there and then that we
must l.-ilmr to correct it. To change the
condition, to break up the habit, may
seem to lie a difficult ami slow process,
but it is the only one that oilers hope
of in-rmaiu-nt result.
When a man thinks that noliody
j cares for him, and that he is alone in a
cold and selfish world, he would do
j well to ask him.-clf this question
1 "What have I done to make anyone
care for aud love me, and to warm the
! world with faith and generosity ?" It is
generally the case that those who com
plain ibeiiiosi have done the least.

Kdge asked the attorney general for an
opinion relaiivB to tiie duties f the
agricultural department regarding the
piMt'-elion of tiiuU-r lands from forwl
lires. In reply the attorney genera! says:
"The rules ami regulations to carry out
the law are largely w ithin the discre

there should be some ad btioiial legisla
tion 011 the Aiilijcvt. The a-t of June 2,

coiuuiissjoiicrs to H.iiil persons who

to punishment all persons who either
wilfully or otherwise cause the burning
of limlx-r binds, ami to take measures

A dispute has arisen in the public prints
as to who was tne tir-t ui.ni to cross the
Allegheny mountains iu a vehicle, says
the l'iiiia b-iphia Turn.. Tiie discussion
s v'uis perm uiently settled liy the state
ment that, in "A Journey Through Souis
of tie; Mid He aud Si Uiiern l'nite.1
Stales," a ier:u.i:i l.s.k, puhlishe 1 at
Krlaiigeri in 17sS, the author, Johann
li ivid Shen-pf, M. H., givi-s an account
of a visit he paid to I'itlsliurg iu 171. ll,-. j
Sh'scpfsays:
"In Pittsburg we were direettl to the
m ist rpeeta' it tavern, a small, crook
is by luiilt wooden structure, on the Moit
o.igaheia, wiiose outside was very un
promising, hut the sight of several well
dressed gensieiiien and stjiishly-ilressed
women gave lis courage. The honor of
being tho lirst otijeet of their curiosity
did not fall to us, Imt to our vehicle, for
wo had made the entire journey in a
kurriol, a lent which up to that lime had
b K-n considere I as g.sxl as iiiipo-.sililo.
I: h id, tnercfore, seenie.l to us in u-i way
strange when, passing a house in the
111 i iiit lin eeuntry, we saw m others, with
1 iu. 1 out.-ry, call their children together
to show them what in their lives they had
n?ver lK-fore seen a karriol. "
Who Will Succeed Cris? !
Wasiii..?i;, February Who w ill
lie the leader 011 the Iieiuocratie side of
the House of Keprrst-ntalives in the next
Congress? Kx Sj.e iker t'ri.-p will retire
froui tlie Ho is,-at the eoiielusioii of his
present term, lie has announced to the
leui x-rals of the Third Congressional
district lift iiMrgia that he will not l.e a
cm, li. late for reiiominalioti. On the con
trary, he will lie a can lidate to suc-eed
Ue11er.1l Ii. iionlon in tiie Senate on
March 4, Is 17.
Mr. Crisp, during the past six mouths,
has ardently espoused the free silver
heresy. If In; should bo elected to the
Senate, his presence would augment the
strength of the silverites, and they are
now too prevalent in that body. His
chief competitor for tha SiMi.itorsliip is
Congre.ssiian Henry ii. Turner? of tho
Kleveiith district of tinorgia, Mr. Turner
is a sou n l 111 :iey a ivocatoHtul a man of
superior ability, ilo has been elected to
Congress for eight consecutive terms,
and s now serving his Ijftecnlh year iu
the 1 1 iiso of It pree:ittives. I,:ko
Crisp he was a Confederate soldier, uud
has been in public two ymrs longer than
Crisp. Ha is a man of much less person
al magnetism than Crisp, but is a pro
found lawyer and a man of statcsUi.mi.ko
intellectual proportions.
Taken in Tune
Hood's Sarsaparilla lias achieved great
success in warding otr sickness which,
if allowed to progress, would have un
dermined the whole system and given
disease a strong foothold to cause much
suil'ering and even threaten death.
Hood's Sarsai arilla has done oil this
and even more. It has been taken in
thousands of cases which were thought
to le incurable, and after a fair trial
has effected wuiiderf-.jl oijivs, hriuging
health, strength and joy to theatliicttd.
Another important point about H-i-xl'i.
Sursjiparilla is that its citric are js-r-luaiieiit,
liecaust? they start from the
.solid lotiu hitiou of purilled, vitalized
and enriched blond. Hut it is siot what
wo say but wh.it Hood's S irs.-ip;ii-;i!a
does that tells the stuf .
The old farmer of whom this story i
told by an exchange only follow til in
the footsteps of famous disputants,
whose squabble were aliout words :
In judge (iihlion's Court the other
day au old farmer from De Kalb Coun
ty was the defendant in a suit for a
piece of land, and his lawyer, ex -Judge
Jones, had been making a strong fight
for it. When the plaintiffs attorney
Is-gaii his argument he said :
"Mavit please the Court, I take the
ground "
The old farmer jumiied up and sang
out :
"What's that ? What's Unit ?"
The Judge called him down.
"May it please the Court," liegan the
attorney, not noticing the interruption,
"I take the ground"
"No you don't, cither," shouted the
old farmer; "anyhow, not until the jury
decid'-s the case !"

The ftrt uit to be brought " ltd ''
under the lilielious anonymous electlili
circular act passed l.y the last legislaturn
was brought on Monday by Charios A.
Iisl,rov,a di fcHtod candidato for select
isMiin il on the Hepulilicaii ticket In tho
Ninth ward of llarrisliurg. Just prior to
theehs-tiou a circular was distrilnited
eharcing Mr. liisl-row nnd others with
holding a polilii-al iiiiH-ting in a low place,
where U-er and whisky flowed and niifhl
was 111 'lt hid ins t'l the grivit sean-ltl of
tho community.
Iilsbrow has leen quietly hunting the
peip!o who prepared and eireiilntisJ the
libel and on Monday brought mill against
Simon Wiley, Joseph Scott and William
II. r.renneinan. They were arretsl and
had a hearing 011 Tuesday.
The law Is as follows:
"That whoever writes, prints, posts or
distributes a circular designed to injtirn
or defeat any candidal for nomination
liy retleeling on his personal character or
political act 11 ins. unless the circular is
signed liy tho ollicers of hoiiio Miiti-aI
organiaiion, shall lie punished l,y line
not exceeding a hundred dollars or by
iiiiprisoiimeut in jail not exc-ediiii six
inoiiths, or liolh, and if the st iteiii-nts
are untrue the M?rsii so offending may
lie proseeuttsl for lils-I iu loth the civil
and criminal courts."
The campaign circulir was very niii'-li
in evidem-e last week, and its slander and
lils-1 were scattered all over soiiim of the
wards. Perhaps tlii campaign circular's
victims may see lit to make it hot for
soiuelssly. When h slanderer and UUdcr
sees a good still' flue and a term of impris
onment staring him in the face ho will
wish he had not "taken his pen in hand."
