to be too hasty in anything we do or

—As has been mentioned iu the
newspapers, the railroads of the coun
try have quit giving passes. They
don't give passes to anyone now —
that is, hardly ever. In all the great
railroad offices one of the perquisites
greatly enjoyed by the railroad people
has becu free theatre tickets. Theat
rical troups always want favors from
the railroad companies, and have
beer, only too delighted to reciprocate
with a few tickets for choice seats.
Last week at Chicago a prominent
railroad official sent his office boy to
the office of a big theatre, with a re
quest for four choice box seats. The
boy came back with a polite note say
ing that the "no pass" rule had been
putin force at the theatre, and that
the price of the seats for that particu
lar night was SIB. That railroad
official scratched his chin very
thoughtfully. But he had asked his
wife and two friends for the evening,
and he finally dug up a ten, a five
and two fifty cent pieces, and went
to the theatre. But he didn't have a
very good time.
Growth of the Hair.
The hair is not like plants. It Is
nothing more than unsensible threads
of skin, or, rather, papillae, as they are
called, which grow iu their proper
places under tlie same conditions as
the nails on the linger ends. Tlie liair
papillae do not lie on the surface of
the skill, but are sunk more or less
deeply into It, more deeply as the hair
Is longer, so that long hairs adhere iu
a deep sac. The number of these hair
papillae of course varies considerably
with different people, but for each Indi
vidual is constant aud unchangeable
anil cannot be iuereased any more than
can tlie number of one's linger nails.
The number of hairs depends on the pa
pillae; consequently if there are no pa
pillae there can be no hair. Moreover,
the number of these papillae is con
stant, so that the idea of increasing
their number by clipping tlie hair must
tie abandoned. The growth of the
hairs depends rather on the well being
of all the papillae, but they are con
stituent parts of skin and share Its
fate alike in both good and evil days.
Firnt Letter Cnrrlem.
It is not clear that the letter carriers
were regularly employed before 1753,
when tradition tells us that Benjamin
Franklin, the new postmaster general,
employed them in Philadelphia and
possibly in New York. The earliest ev
idence we have is of 1702, when the
Philadelphia postmaster advertised
that his "boy" had run away and that
patrons must call for their letters at
Ihe postofliee. The Postal Journal of
Hugh Flnlay. a storehouse of sound in
formation, tells us that Boston had no
letter carrier in 1773. Of New York ho
says that "soon after the arrival of a
mail the letters are quickly delivered
by a runner," which means messenger
or letter carrier.
Same Old Story.

License Seeker Swears
Lawyer Demanded Cash
Affidavit Produced by Judge Says Attorney, in Effect, Attempted «!
Regular Hold-Up Game.
Bloomsburg, I'a., Jan. 24.
During the hearing of liquor license applications for several days past,
Associate Judge Krickbaum has taken a hand in the proceedings by ques- i
tioniug the applicants regarding the amount of money their applications had i
cost them, and it they paid any other amount than the usual attorney fees.
The reason for the questions, he stated, was that he had been inform-,
ed that certain amounts had been demanded from applicants before they
, could secure a license.
Following the announcement of the granting and refusal of licenses
this morning Judge Krickbaum sprung a surprise by having read ill open ;
court an affidavit sworn and subscribed to by M. J. Harris, of Scran ton, on I
January 22, and alleging "that Attorney Grant Herring, residing at Blooms- |
burg, PH., called on him, the said Harris, in the city of Scran ton, Decern- j
her 4, 1905, ami demanded him to sign a note for 8300 aud pay him SSO ;
, cash before he, Harris, could secure his license, which the said Harris re- i
> fused to do.''
, Herring denies the allegation as preposterous and a lie out of the t
whole cloth. He was connected with Harris application. Harris was grant
ed a license for a hotel in West Berwick, the only new license granted in that
borough.
Judge Krickbaum says that he has done his duty by making public ;
the affidavit and that he has more of them aloug the same line, which he will ,
make public at the proper time. Nine new liceuses were granted by the
Colombia Court this morning, and eleven applicants for new places refused.
Of the nine licenses granted President Judge Little concurred in one aud
dissented in the other eight. 1
Sight Comes Like Flash
To an Aged Blind Man
After Thirteen Years in Darkness He Suddenly Announces Recovery of
Faculty to Family.
Pottsville, Pa., Jan. 24.
While seated with his family today, Tobias Sehiudle, aged 81, who
had been blind for thirteen years, suddenly startled them by the statement
that lie saw again. They were inclined to treat his startling announcement
as the vagary of an aged mind; but, to their astonishment, he snatched up a
newspaper and started to read it. The doctors say that this is "second
>ight," which comes very rarely. The old man bids fair to live quite a j
number of years, for he is hale and hearty. j
SUICIDE NO BAN ON INSURANCE
Widow Entitled to Benefit From Order
of Heptasophs.
Trenton, Jan. 18.—Chief Justice
Gum mere Ims filed an opinion in the
Supreme Court, holding that suicide
is no ban on lodge benefits. The suit
was brought by Mrs. Margaret Saut
ter, of Newark, against the Supreme
Conclave, Improved Order of Hepta
sophs. The complainant's husband
was insured for SIOOO in the order,
and when he committed suicide the
widow asked for the insurance money.
This was refused, because the order
had adopted a rule that no benefit
was to be paid on the life of a member
committing suicide. The Court up
holds Mrs. Sautter's claim.
FINGERS AND FORKS.
Never use a fork when taking a piece
of bread.
Avoid using a spoon for anything
that is not liquid.
Pastry should be eaten with a fork;
also ice cream where the proper forks
are served.
It is permissible to eat celery, corn,
asparagus, water cress and undressed
salad with the fingers.
Olives should be lifted from the dish
with the olive fork or spoon, but should
be eateu from the lingers.
Lemon is often served with fish and
pancakes. The lemon should be taken
In the lingers and squeezed upon the
viands. 112
If cut sugar is served and there are
no sugar tongs In the bowl, lift the
pieces out as delicately as possible
with the tips of the fingers.—New York
Press.
Couti»oftite I'ronoun Wanted.
The want of a composite "pronoun to
express both "he"and "she," and, what
Is sometimes more important, to ex
press neither he nor she, must have
embarrassed every one at some time or
another. There are uugrammatical
ways of shelving the difficulty, such as,
for Instance, by translating the con
venient French "on" as "they," when
we really mean one person who may
be either masculine or feminine. The |
| lack of a portmanteau word to express j
| both sexes without specifying either i
did not, however, trouble the new maid
who approached her mistress with the
ingenious remark, "Please'm, a friend
of mine has called—and may I ask it i
to tea?"— London Chronicle. •

Her Christmas
Angel—Or His
A CHRISTMAS STORY
By Sally Chamberlin
Copyright, lUO4, by Sally Chamberlin
"Whom do you thiiik I suw today,
Susun Strong?" said Ned, with his win
ting smiles, as he walked into the room
of his invalid sister at the end of his
tlay's work.
"Eleanor Carrington," replied Susan
promptly.
Surprise overspread his beaming
i countenance.
"That's exactly who it was, but how
in time did you guess?"
"A sort of second sight we invalids
have, dear boy," answered his sister.
"The moment you appeared around that
curtain a sensation swept over me
which I always used to have when I
saw her standing across the aisle in
j church with her unapproachable bear
ing and her calm. Madonna-like face.
I fairly worshiped her, Ned. Where
did you see her?"
"At the Grand Central depot. She
was helping a crippled boy out of a
cab when his crutch fell under the
wheels. Maybe I wasn't Mr. Johnny
-011-the-Spot! My, but she Is a queen!"
More thau this he never said of any
girl, for It was Susan's greatest cross
that her stalwart brother, the aprle of
her eye, had been obliged to give up
| his young life, social' and athletic, to
j bear the financial burden of her illness.
Ned Strong had held the record for
i hammer throwing at his university aud
had been candidate for the next year's
football team wheu he had been forced
to put It all behind him and turn his at
' tentiou to sterner realities, including
exorbitant bills presented by the spe
cialists employed to relieve his sister,
j For two years she had suffered with
| an affection of the knee which even the
most eminent surgeons had been un
able to name. For same weeks now
she had been fastened in a brace which
gave comparative relief and permitted
j her to sit up in bed, aud with the ecs
j sat ion from suffering came renewed
eagerness to hear of the beautiful out
side world.
"Eleanor doesn't seem to be going In
very strong for society," Ned contin
ued, perching himself 0:1 the edge of
Susan's couch. "When I was lunching
j with Billy Sanford yesterday he said
she had spent almost the entire smn
i mcr going to and from New York with
j children whom she was having treated
j at the hospital for cripples on Forty
second street."
! "Why, Ned, that's the hospital where
Dr. Oibb3 is head surgeon. lie was
telling me about those patient little
. children only yesterday when he was
working on my khee."
"Sure enough. I telephoned him this
morning and he says he has a new
contraption which he will try in a week
or so that will simply discount the
brace j-ou have 011 now."
I"1 shall ask him if he knows Elea-
I nor."
J "Don't you worry. lie isn't the kind
, of man who would let such a beauty
pass unnoticed and uncultivated
though I understand she's spoken for.
Hilly says Senator Elkus is the favored
suitor."
' "lie's too old for her." This inn tone
of disappointment.
"That's the way of the world, Sue.
The man that's got the money is the
only one who need come round. The
rest of us poor devils can stand back
and adore silently. Think of the crip
ples she could have treated on the sen
ator's money!" He flung back his
shoulders as if throwing off an ugly
ihought, then he bent tenderly over the
invalid. "Oh, Sue, it is splendid to see
you free from pain once more," and
with a rousing kiss, emblem of all his
devotion and self sacrifice, lie strode
away to his solitary dinner.
In one of her wakeful night watches
' Susan lived back in the year which had
preceded her illness. It came to her
; like a revelation that in those days Ned
! had not exactly stood back and adored
l in silence. Eleanor Carrington hat'
shared all his college enthusiasm, and
though Susan, lively, golden haired lit
tle sister of a big strapping brother,
had never entirely entered into these
interests, in the new light of under
standing vouchsafed invalids as a com
pensation for physical deprivations she
1 saw why Eleanor Carrington had sud
denly dropped out of her brother's life.
; *When Dr. Gibbs called the next
i morning he was surprised at her ani
mation. ,
"You want Christmas work to do?
Now. see here, you're not worrying
about bills and things?"
She shook her head. "I Just want
to make some one happy for Christmas,
j Don't you think 1 could dress some
dolls for the hospital children?"
"Just the thing to make you forget
! the occasional twinges in tills knee
that is, if you don't sit up too long at
a time. I'll speak to Miss Carrington,
who is chairman of our Christmas com
mittee."
And he did not dream why the sud
t'en, glad licbt came into Susan Strong's
eyes.
Two days later Eleanor Carringtou's
carriage stopped before the humble
Strong cottage. She brought into the «
sickroom a new and invigorating at
mosphere.
"My dear piri, I have never heard of
your illness. We have lived almost
» constantly in the country of late, and
j 1 seldom see your brother. Why didn't
you let me know? I should have been
so glad to come. And now you send
for me that you may help me in my
work. You make mc feel so—so self- 1
ish."
Her rich furs dropped from her shoul
ders, and the tall, statuesque young
woman fell to I • uie the lit
tle invalid with Lu •. pathetic
face, big, wistful eyc.j and short, curl
ing hair.
"Oh, you mustn't feel that way," said
• the girl as she stroke 1 the fur with her
I wasted hand. "Ned ?:a:: taken such
I good care of me. and I—well, I just
' need something to occupy my mind,
Did you bring tie dolls?"
"Polls? Dozens of them!" said Miss
' cariTngtbn, tiffin hapfiy catarrh Un
voice/ "But you must let me cut out
the clothes. It is enough for you to
lew."
J This was the beginning of happy
days for Susan Strong. Hardly an aft
ernoon passed without a call from
, Eleanor, who wanted to see how tlie
| gay ladies from Paris, Berlin, Swltzer
! land, Japan and Russia were coming
on. Sometimes she laid aside her
wraps and sewed with the Invalid.
During these hours Susan learned
many things, not only of the hospital
work, but of Eleanor's life at home
and in the social world. And, best of
all. she learned that the rumors regard
ing the beautiful girl's engagement to
Senator Elkus were without founda
tion.
| Only once did Susan, wise little girl
I that she was. refer to Ned.
j "If you happen to see Ned, don't tell
him about this, will you? I don't want
him to know until all the dolls are fin
ished, and then we'll have a dress pa
rade. Maybe when he sees the work
has not hurt me, he—he will let me do
something to help him—pay the bills."
Eleanor Carrington looked past the
iuvalid, through the window, Into the
clear winter sunlight as If seeing a
faraway picture.
"I do not think there is any danger
of my seeing your brother."
But she was wrong. She saw him the I
very next day, when he came home
earlier than usual. She had brought
some holly to deck Susan's room, for
Christmas was drawing near, and she
had brought a beautifully embroidered
dressing sack for the invalid also. Su
san was tying the bow at the throat of
her dainty gift and surveying herself
in a small mirror. Eleanor was hang
ing a holly wreath above the dressing
table, when she swung around sudden
ly, the gay wreath rolling to the floor.
In the mirror she had caught sight of
Ned Strong's ainazfed face. lie was
standing In the doorway.
"Oh, Ned, why did you come too
soon?" cried Susan In mock dismay.
In reality her heart was singing with
very joy.
"Eleanor," said the man without
moving from the doorway.
She stooped to pick up the wreath,
and when she stood up once more her
color had come back and her composure
was perfect.
"We were Just fixing a little surprise
for you," she said, offering her hand
and meeting his glance squarely, "but
I don't think you deserve It. You
haven't played fair, Ned." Ills glance
wavered from her face to the Invalid's
couch. Susan was bending over, tying
a refractory bow in a doll's hat. Elea
nor went on quietly.
"You might at least have told me
why"—
"I couldn't." His voice was very
low. "I did not dare ask you to wall."
She drew her breath sharply. "And
yet you must have known."
A minute later Ned Strong bent over
his sister's couch. The refractory bow
had come to time. She looked up into
his foce with shining eyes.
"Susan, dear, you're our Christmas
angel."
Stork Legenda.
In an old collection of matronly sto
ries entitled "The Gospel of the Dis
taff," printed at Bruges lu 1475, this
passage occurs: "Wheu a stork builds
her nest over a chimney it is a sign
that the proprietor shall have wealth
and long life." Ancient beliefs admit
ted that the stork protected buildings
against lightning. It is a holy bird,
and In certain German towns the ar
rival of the storks, heralds of spring,
was announced with Joyous blasts by
the watchman 011 the tower. What Is
certain is that which Mlchelet says of
the swallow may be applied to tho
stork, "He has taken not only our
house, but also our hearts."
Legends go still further. They con
sider storks as the Incarnatlop of de
parted souls. In that metamorphosed
capacity they have for mission to
search the bottom of wells for the souls
of newborn Infants. In the whole of
northern and central Germany they
have their baby wells. Hamburg, too,
had her "klndelbrunnen." This naive
faith has its origin in ancient mytholo
gy, which represents the stork, Jointly
with the peacock, as the favorite bird
of Juno, goddess of maternity.—French
of Maurice Engelliart.
Dcrtlc With Mnxlm Gun.
One of the instructors of a big uni
versity led the way to a small box,
smiling with pride as he did so. "I
want to show you a rare species of bee
tle," said he.
The beetle, which was a burnished
blue, with a rod head and red legs, lay
partly hidden under a stone. The In
structor advanced his finger slowly.
The beetle waited, watchful gnd in
trepid. The finger almost touched the
Insect, and then—puff, a cloud of blue
smoke shot out, and under cover of
this smoke the beetle beat a rapid re
treat.
"Isn't that marvelous?" the instruct
or said. "And the little rascal can
emit puff after puff-can fire gun after
gun—nineteen or twenty to the minute.
No wonder he Is called the bombar
dier, Is it? •
"This bombardier beetle Is rare. He
has In his body certain glands secret
ing a liquid which, on contact with the
air, has the curious property of turn
ing Into a smoky vapor. Tho vapor is
his defense against bigger beetles.
Hidden under it, he seeks a new re
treat."
Funerals In the Highlands.
A Scottish correspondent writes of
funerals in the highlands: "There are
no undertakers here. A carpenter
makes the simple cofHn, relatives and
friends carry it, hip high, to its last
resting place, which Is dug when tho
end of the Journey Is reached, and,
having walked perhaps six miles to
the chosen kirkyard, they take a re
freshment of sandwiches and whisky
and walk home again. The rigorous
absence of pomp is maintained, but
there is the added embellishment of
pipe music."

never realized a cent from his inven
tion.
Ills uauie was Oliver Evans. He was
horn in Delaware lu 1750 aud speut ail
his life perfecting Inventions which
were destined to bring him nothihg but
more poverty. lie was the original in
ventor of the high pressure engine used
in locomotives, the only kind that could
be employed to advantage in this form
of transportation, but realized nothing
for his idea.
His application of the notion to both
land and water power was sojnewhat
novel.
In 1804 tlie municipality of Philadel
phia called for bids for the dredging of
the river and the cleaning of the docks.
Evans put lu a bid lower than any of
his competitors and when it was ac
cepted determined to build a steam
boat to do the work.
He fitted out a scow with a steam j
engine, building both the engine and
the scow in his own workshop.
When the boat was ready to be
launched Evans determined to give the j
people of Philadelphia an object lesson
in mechanics, so he put the boat on
wheels, fitted up a push wheel behind,
set his engine to work and propelled
the boat through the streets to the riv
er in the midst of an open mouthed
throng, not a few of whom had a dim
idea that he ought to be arrested for
witchcraft.
When tho boat reached the bank of
the river, the wheels and axles wero
taken off, the craft was launched, fitted
out with other wheels and made to do
the work of dredging the harbor.
So far as the invention of mechani
cal devices went Evans had a splendid
genius, but when dollars and cents
came up for consideration he was a
mere child, and even allowed himself
to be cheated out of the money that
was due him for cleaning the Philadel
phia harbor with his new faugled
6teumboat.
THE PUEBLO INDIANS.
Their Rcllftloii Is la a Way a Specie*
of Water Worship.
Eagle feathers are much used In tho
ceremonials of the Pueblo Indians, and
iu order to make sure of a supply the
Zuul keep the birds In cages, plucking
a few feathers whenever they happen
to want them. On the other hand, the
Moki have eagles' nests located at va
rious spats within thirty or forty miles
of their towns, which are considered
the property of different clans among
them. The eagle lays its eggs iu the
same uest year after year, and the
clans Inherit rights to certain nests
from generation to generation.
The eagles are not killed, but the
new fledged youug ones are taken
from the nest—that Is to say, all but
oue or two, which must be left. To
remind the eagle god to encourage the
laying of more eggs by the birds an
egg carved out of wood is placed
where the divinity wjll be sure to seo
it; ulso, after being plucked, the ea
glets are carefully buried lu a certain
cleft In the rocks, which Is the eagle
cemetery. Here the eagles have been
interred for centuries, and the place Is
very sacred.
The Pueblo Indians have a tradition
of the flood, aud they say that the tur
key Is marked in commemoration of
that event, its tail being black at tho
end where it was dragged through tho
mud after tho water had subsided.
The duck is another sacred bird, be
ing associated with water. From tho
Pueblo point of view, anything that is
related to the all precious water iu auy
way is an object of worship, Their re
ligion is made up to a great extent of
aquatic divinities and might be called
a species of water worship,

THE RED MASK.
There are for many reasons, few diseases more to
be dreaded than Erysipelas, and it has, not inaptly,
been termed "St. Anthony's Fire." There is no dis
ease which so completely deforms and distigmes the
visage of the patient; and it may fairly be Com
pared to a red mask
Thrown by a Mocking Demon
orer the human /ace. It is almost m dangerous as
it is repulsive. Arising from a variety or causes,
runnng its course with pain—it often ends suddenly
in denth. The old treutment consisted of blood
letting, and the use of strong, drastic purgatives.
The Best Modern Treatment
Is all contained in Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Iteinedy.
Use this, aud you have ia*eu the essential total of
all the best physicians in the land could prescribe
for Erysipelas. Mr. S. B. Carpenter, of Grandville,
N. Y., was for some time afflicted with this disease in
both legs, lie regained his health by the sole use of
Dr. D. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy
which Is also sure In its action in all other blood dis
eases. The human system is like a machine.—lf
one part is out of order the whole goes wrong.
The olood is the main spring. Keep this all riu'ht
and you will not suffer from Kidney and Liver uis
orders, Piles and Const ipatiou. Among all forms of
treatment for these troubles

Headache
When your head aches, there
is a storm in the nervous sys
tem, centering' in the brain.
This irritation produces pain
in the head, and the turbulent
nerve current sent to the stom
ach causes nausea, vomiting.
This is sick headache, and
is dangerous, as frequent and
prolonged attacks weaken the
brain, resulting in loss of
memory, inflammation, epi
lepsy, fits, dizziness, etc.
Allay this stormy, irritated,
aching condition by taking
Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills.
They stop the pain by sooth
ing, strengthening and reliev
ing the tension upon the nerves
—not by paralyzing them, as
do most headache remedies.
Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills do
not contain opium, morphine,
chloral,cocaine or similar drugs.
"Sick headache la hereditary in my
fanUJy. My father suffered a great
deaTT and for many years I have had
spells that were BO severe that I was
unable to attend to my business affairs
for a day or so at a time. During a
very severe attack of headache, I took
Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Fills and they
relieved me almost immediately. Since
then I take them when I feci the spell
coming on and It stops It at once.
