An exchange that seems to know says: "Take care of your own nose. Don't let it 'roam.' A Roman nose is all right, but when one's nose gets to 'roaming' so as to get in all the busi ness of the neighborhood, its owner is approaching the danger line. Keep good neighbors by carefully inserting your uoso in your own business and holding it there," Poor Fishiug This Season. The North Branch iu this vicinity several year? ago was one of the best fishing grounds in this sectiou. Of late years,however,it lias yielded very poor sport,each succeeding year seem ing to bring fewer fish. A well known fisherman of our town staled yesterday that a few years ago it was no unusual thing for him to hook as many as four huudrod bass in a season, while during tlio presout year lie has thus far caoght but four teen. During the last few years when the falling oft in fish was first noted,black bass were still pleutiful in tlio West Brauoli, which gave rise to the theory that the fish iu the North Branch wore beginning to sutTur from the inroads of coal dirt. It now develops that black bass have become as scarce in Hie West Branch as anywhere else, so that fishermen are beginning to look for soma cause for the general scarcity other than coal dirt. The lishermau above quotod takes t'io view that tlio ice gorges and the big flood of last spring swopt a largo number of fish down the stream and that tliey are prevoutod by tlio dams from finding their way up tlio river.

ELAINE ROZE'S PARISIAN TRIP. Her Impression of the Modes—Frivo lous Little Poplums the Vogue —Wuistcoats a Feature. I am back again with a budget of fash ion news which I have culled for you from a most bewildering display of ex quisite garments for milady's adorn ment. The splendor of the'time when France was at the height of her luxurious ex travagance seems to have returned, and after a tentative trial of 1830 Directoire | styles. Dame Fashion is contented at last with the Louis XVI inspiration for her motive. Louis XVI coats as well as short pale tots of colored suiting silks will be worn with fancy wool skirts, and when it comes to suit jackets there are no bounds to the whimsicalities one finds. The lit tle basque is more and more in evidence and often takes on port ways, like, for instance the frivolous little peplum. In all these garments the waistcoat is a pro nounced feature. It is cut high and low, and is a veritable garment or only a pre sentiment of it. With the popularity of the waistcoat and vogue of the fitted bodice an exquis itely fitting corset, such as the C-B a la Spirite is even more essential than ever. It is the foundation upon which a prop erly fitting gown is built, and no woman of fashion but considers it the most im portant item of her wardrobe. Fashions are said to be adaptable to each individual taste, which fact is in favor of the woman who has to study economy in dress, for the more volumin ous styles in skirts are impossible for the pedestrian to carry in one hand above the gKme of the streets, and she who prefers a walking skirt of comfortable length and built may wear it without fear of being outre. The woman who prefers to wear the skirt that requires two hands to carry, if she wishes the operation to be at all graceful, is confronted with the problem of how to change her carefully acquired stride into a glide. This is rather a diffi cult transition, but it must be managed somehow, for in skirts several yards round, and lying two inches on tbe floor in front, the athletic gait would be intol crable. So in spite of the vogue of voluminous skirts, a gored skirt, springing gracefully at the hem, and not too wide for conven ience is entirely correct. A pretty model for general wear, and quite "dressy" enough for more formal wear is shown in a rich dark blue raw silk, with a skirt of medium width and fullness, and a chic little peplumed coat, the costume, appliqued in blue velvet, which is outlined in narrow white sout ache braid, and worn over a charming white raw silk waistcoat. Another pretty model which I have depicted for you is an afternoon or thea tre gown of white Peau de Crepe, black and \Vhite lace being combined in yoke, aud sleeve-ruflles, and black velvet rib-| bon used an a finish for yoke, jabot and girdle- Party at Strawberry Ridge. (Too late for last wt*ok.) Misses Maud and ('ora Dcihl, of Straw berry Ridge, pave a flinch party on Wed nesday evening, August 31st, in honor of their cousin, Miss Gertrude Crouse, of Vickslmrg, Pa.

A groan ! . The act occupied but the fraction of a minute, but tbe fun was not yet over, as is the ease of Inop-tbu-loop. In . this daring feat of an amphibian act i we Hml one of our foremost citzcns figuring conspicuously. Wednesday morning the free performance was given, and those who missed it may rightfully be sorry, for we cau't say when it will lie repeated. The actor restrains himself, and only accomp lishes it a few times in a lifetime. Hut the eye witnesses say It was great. Most anyone, after a great deal of practice, can climb a slippery pole, but this acrobat in his first at tempt slid down one the first time he tried, but was sure to see that in case it would not work the fall would not bu great. In order to demonstrate to the full satisfaction of himself and thoso about him, the rear end of tho ferry fiat was chosen. Placing the pole on the bottom of the river, the actor leartcd forward and gracefully took the slip. It was completed. Beneath the surface of the crystal water flounder lie for a moment, then to his feet, and a smile of satisfaction, mingled with excitement, graced his comely countenance, when the thought presented itself that the fiat had been stranded and he was already late to catch the train and attend to business in connection with the Adam's express. Wading to the south side a launch was employed and the | hero safely transported back to 119 again to receive the congratulations due him.

Too much mystery has been thrown about tills subject. Let your situations decide. It must be kept iu mind that the entire (unction of di gestion and assimilation Is carried on without conscious supervision or con currence. It should be entirely unfelt and unknown, excepting by the feeling of bleu etre which accompanies and follows Its normal accomplishment Satiety Is bad. It Implies a sensation of fullness In the region of the stom ach, and that means that too much food lias been taken. The exact cor respondence Inn healthy animal be tween the appetite and the amount of food required Is extraordinary. Aa a rule, the meal, unless eaten very glow ly, should cease before the appetite Is entirely satlslled, because a little time Is required for the outlying organs and tissues to feel the effects of the food that bus been Ingested. If too little lias been taken, It Is easy enough to make It up at the next meal, and the appe tite will be only the better and the food more grateful. No one was ever sorry for having voluntarily eaten too little, while mil lions every day repent lim ing eaten too much. It has been said that the great lesson homeopathy taught the world was this—that whereas physicians had been In the habit of giving the patient the largest dose he couhl stand, they have been led to sec that their purpose was better subserved by giving him the smallest dose that would produce the desired effect. And RO It Is with food. Instead of eating, as most peo ple unfortunately do, as much as they can, they should eat the smallest amount that will keep them in good health.—Roger S. Tracy in Century. Fishhooks. Practically all the best fishhooks In the world—and nearly so of all quali ties—are made at ltedditch, England. The annual output Is probably 500,- 000,000 hooks, about 10,000,000 per week, ranging In size from enormous and ferocious looklug shark hooks to the tiniest hooks for very small trout flies, with a "bend" diameter of about one-sixteenth of an Inch, a thousand of which will not more than fill a good sized thimble. The price varies as much as the size, ranging from a few pence to two or three pounds par tlmmsnij. • ■ WIT BUBBLES »N TOASTS. Rome II u moron* Sentiment* Pithily Uxpreaned at llanqaetß, A publisher once gave the following: "Woman, the fairest work in oil crea tion. The edition Is large, and no man should be without a copy." This Is fuirly seconded by a youth who, giving his distant sweetheart, sold, "Delectable dear, so sweet that honey would blush in her presence and treacle stand appalled." Further, in regard to the fair sex, we have: "Woman, she needs 110 eulogy; ,he speaks for herself." "Woman, the bitter half of man." In regard to matrimony. some bach elor once gave, "Marriage, tho gate through which tho happy lofc'er leaves his enchanted ground and returns to earth." At tho marriage of a deaf and couple some wit wished them "un speakable bliss." At a supper given to a writer of com edies a wag said: "TJie writer's very good health. May hejlive to bo as old as his jokes." From a law critic: "The bench and the bar. If It were not,'for the bar there would be little use 'tor the bench." A celebrated startesnntn, while dining With a duchess on her-eightieth birth day, in proposingrher health said: "May you live, lqSWuly duchess, un til you begin to grow >tigly."
