Many a woman If she were put to It,
could undoubtedly succeed in spending

Sam's financial headquarters at Wash
ington, She Is the expert counter of the
bureau of printing and engraving, and
the way she makes mouey fly through
her lingers is something that would put
the most lavish and reckless millionaire
in the world to blush. She has held her
position for tbo last eight and a hall years
in which time she has counted five billion
dollars without a single error.
Some man who seems to have had
experience and to know what he is talk
ing about contributes the following: "If
the farmers of the country who own
worthless dogs curs without any breed
ing could be induced to destroy them,
and substitute one well-bred shepherd
pup, not more, to each farm, the wealth
of every farmiug community would be
vastly increased in matiy ways. Farm
ers soon find the collies saving them
many a step. Eager and anxious to
learn, willing to do anything within his
power, the young dog needs ouly a wise
and patleut restraint and intelligent dl-
lection to become one of tbe most useful
hands on the placo."

serious injury by being hit on the left
cheek bone by a base ball was mentioned
iu tbe Kkpuulicak last week, was oper
ated upon at the West Ponn hospital,
Pittsburg, by Dr. MacFarland, next day
after the accident happened. An incision
of more than two inche s was made, aud
Ihe bone, which was crushed in, was
raised and eleven stitches inserted to
hold the bone to its proper place. Several
of the smaller bones of the face were also
broken, but it is hoped these will not
give hlin any serious trouble. The oper
ation Is said to have been successful, and
the disfigurement, if any, will be but
slight. He will be confined to his homo
for some days yet,
Albert Bean, of Trunkeyville, had a
narrow oscape from being bitten by a
rattlesnake on Friday night. He noted
that his chickens in his potato patch acted
queorly when near a coitaiu portion of
tho field, craning their necks and giving
vent to cries of alarm and auger, but paid
no special attention to their antics. There
was a bright moon on Friday, and as he
was passing through the patch he felt
something strike his leg, and found that
a rattler had sunk its fangs into the bot
tom of his trousers. He tried to jerk
away from the snake, but its fangs were
fast In tbe cloth. He started to run and
this jerked the poisonous teeth out of tbe
reptile's bead, and he went one way aud
the snake another.

sues of his body and he puffed out to an
enormous size. Dr. J. J. Brewer, of Clar-

the benefit of the skilled nursing, for
which that institution Is noted. Dr. J.
B. Siggius is treating blrn while thore and

a severe case of tcnsilitis, wbicb'became
further complicated by the formation of
an abscess back of the larynx, rendering
recovery hopeless, and he passed away as

29 years, and seemed like a strong, ro
bust man to be thus suddenly cut down.

trious young man, who was well liked
by all who knew him, and his sudden
death has caused deepest sorrow in tbe
community in which be was reared from
boyhood and whore bo had a host of
friends. The funeral takes place this

Letter lo Stephen Emkk,
Tionesta, ra.
Dear Sir: Have you found-out you
can paint a job with fewer gallons Devoe
than of anything else, lcad-and-oll or
anything else?
Mr. Floyd Almy, House and Sign
Paintei, Greenwich, N. Y., found it out
three years ago; he writes: "I have
used Devoo lead-and-ziuu tor the past
three years, and cannot say loo much in
its favor'. I am using it now on a big job
that I took by cou tract, and it has saved
me at least $25 in tho cost of material."
Devoe is the strongest paint we kuow-
of; goes furthest ; takes less of it to your
job.
Lead-and-oil Is pure; lead-and-zino Is
stronger; covers more; goes further.
Have yon found-out you can paint a
gallon Devoe in less time than a gallon of
anything else? That means less time for
the job. Less time ; less money.
Less paint; less money for that; less
time, loss money for that. Devoe lasts
longer; do you mind Ihe loss money for
that? You are surer of it.
Yours truly,
F. W. Dkvok A Co.,
73 New York.

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather of
tbe summer months to guard against
bowel troubles. As a rule It is only nec
essary to give the child a dose of castor
oil to correct any disorder of tho bowols.
Do not use any substitute, but give tbe
old-fashioned castor oil, aud see that it Is
fresh, as rancid oil nauseates aud has a
tendency to gripe. If this does not check
the bowels give Cbaiiiborlaiu's Colic,
Cholera mid Diarrhoea Remedy and then
dose of castor oil, and the discaso may
be cheeked iu its iucipieucy aud all dan
ger avoided. Tho castor oil and this
remedy should be procured at oneo aud
kept ready for instant use as soon as the
first indication of any bowel trouble ap
pears. This is tho most successful treat
ment known aud may be relied upon
with implicit confidence even iu cases of
cholera infantum. For sale by Dunn .t
