RAPID GROWTH OF BERWICK DISTRICT The completion of the work of the aaeeHssora in and about Berwick re veals some interesting statistics, and shows the vast strides and almost phenomenal growth of that section ol Colombia county. Five years ago, just before the big car shops were built there, Berwick was a little town of three thousand inhabitants, with beautiful farm laud lying just outside the town limits. Now the district that it is proposed tc include in the "Oreater Berwick," has a population of 20,000 or over, and things are so rosy lined that the peo ple are talking of bu<lding observation towers in the public squares, and oil ing all sorts of grand stunts. Assessor Jacob Laub, who has just finished a most complete assessment and census of West Berwick, finds the population of that one borough alone to be 6014, inoludiug 3514 American citizens and some 2500 foreigners. The number of American citizens in West Berwick now exceeds the whole popu lation of Berwick proper in 11)00, which was 3014. Valuations have also increased won derfully. The total valuation in West Berwick now is (854,270.This is an in crease of (202,270 over the previous year and an increase of (104,270 ovei the last triennial assessment. These increases are only the result of build ing operations, however. Tho big in crease came five years ago when the •teel plant was built. At that time the inorease was big for the values came from almost nothing. In his rounds Mr. Laub saw many strange things, especially among the foreigners. He found houses that are overcrowded almost beyond belief. II was a usual thing to find twenty oi over in a six room house. In these houses not only the two floors were utilized for sleeping rooms but bed: were placed In the oellars. The larg est number in one building was 110, in the Uellet block aud the second was 68 in a double residence. Ur. Laufejays he is glad his labors are over. He states that the district he assessed is the hardest one in Columbia COOIHS\«*MXI there hae been no one as yet. who will dispute the statement. He had meu of a. tut If dooeo national ItiegJOedaaLwitiU .A ihaanimri out-of town property owners to , keep track of, together with a continual sale of properties. The continuous changing of owners is shown by the (act that lie was notified of 20 changes within twenty-four honrs after he lia(l com pleted his assessm ut. One property in West Berwick lias been sold five times in the Dast year. The populations of the towns of which Berwick is the center are as fol lows: Berwick, U 000; North Berwick. 1,000; East Berwick, 1,000; West Ber wick, 6.000; Nescopeck, 2,000, Briar Greek. 800. To Take Faces Off Doors. The much-talked-of proposition to file the bronze heads or "types" off the doors of the njw capitol at Harris burg has at last been put iuto the form of a resolution and introduced by Sen ator Herbst, of Berks county, who claims he is in earnest, although the bill is of facetious composition. Ir follows: Whereas, The reoent unprecedented rise in the price of copper, restoring it almost to its once proud position of a precious metal, has made the impish heads on the front door of this capitol a valuable asset for thieves, and their continned wierd stare serves as a temp tation for the light-fingered gentry abroad in seemingly goodly numbers in this clime; and Whereas, the distinguished ex-gov ernor and head of the capitol building commission Booms to have lost his file with which he had proposed to re move them; and Wheroas, The revenues of the State can be more profitably used than in the employment of officers to specially guard snch inartistic type heads; there fore be it Resolved, If the house cononrs, that the superintendent of public buildings and grounds be and is here by instruct ed to have those heads removed forth with, and on acoount of their metal value sold to the highest bidder, the proceeds nf such Bale to be paid into the State treasury, and applied to les sen the expense of the capitol investi gation. It will be interesting to watch what becomes of this bill. It was long hint ed that suoli a bill would be introduc ed. but it was always side tracked un til now.

DHDN'S PLAN . CHECKS DISEASE From January 1, 1906, to January 1, 1907, there were repotted to the State department of health 87,953 cases of communicable disease. A very large number of these oocurred in the rural districts where there are no boards of health, and to promptly enforce neces sary placarding,quarantining or isola tion of such cases in the rural districts will be one of the important duties of Health Commissioner Dixon's town ship health officers. After the termina tion of each case the health officer will thoroughly disinfeot the premises. Particular attention will be paid to the disinfection of premises following tuberculosis and to the proper disin fection of school houses after cases of communicable diseases have been dis covered in attendance. This will add greatly to the protection afforded our school children throughout the State. It will require a small army of health officers to cover all the town ships, but the nnmber of lives that their work will save, will amply justify the money outlay, just as the free dis tribution of diphtheria antitoxin to the poor has done. From November 1, 1905, to Decem ber 21, 1906, the department of health distributed antitoxin for 8,916 cases of diphtheria among the poor people throughout Pennsylvania, while dar ing the same period 2,454 indigent per sons were immunized against the dis ease with the State's free antitoxin. The total number of deaths was only 379 or a death rate of about nine per i cent. Reliable statistics show that wli«ro autitoxin is not nsed, the death rate is upward of forty-two per cent. The great number of lives, mostly of little children, that the State depart ment of health's free distribution of antitoxin saved dur'ng the year 1906, makes this one of the greatest blessings that the poor people of this Common wealth have ever had bestowed upon them. The prevention of the spread of disease in the rural districts by the de- , partment's township health officers will similarly save hundreds of lives anda vast amount of suffering. DRUGGISTS' GLOBES. i How the Colors In tho Window Em* blami Aro Produced. "The big glass globes tilled with col ored water which were once In the front windows of every drug store are not seen now as frequently as of old," said a drug clerk to a reporter. "Of course many are still in use, but In the readjustment of the window displays in drug stores by reason of the Installation of the electric light they "have been displaced. With the old gas jet arrangement there were but two or three separate illumina tions, mostly placed behind the glot>e9 In question. "The colored contents of these globes and their chemical constituents are a mystery to most persons, and I have had ladles nsk me if they contained colored perfumes. The globes are made In all sorts of fancy and elabo rate shapes and designs. Some are costly. Their history is buried in an tiquity, but as they contain chemical compositions they were primarily, as they are now, the emblem of the chem ist. "The water Is filtered and beautiful ly colored b.v chemical admixtures and are composed of such chemicals that they will withstand the rays of the sun nod not fade. The exquisite pale j green, which Is one of the popular se- ! lections of coloring, Is a solution of nitrate of nickel, and most persons will i<e surprised to learn that It Is derived from dissolving the common five cent nh kel piece in nitric acid. A few five cent nickel pieces dissolved In this acid will produce enough coloring body to tinge several gallons of water and give a coloring which Is mo*t pleasing to the eyes. "The red, which is aiso a very bright. !>eautiful ami jx-rmanent color and which shows very effectively both by day and when illuminated at night, Is made from resubilmated or metallic iodlue. The blue Is made from sul phate of copper and ammonia, and the yellow is produced by an admixture of bichromate of potash and sulphuric acid. Any person can make these t>eauttful colorings, especially the green, but as the acids used are very power ful it is best to have them prepared by a chemist, as a drop of nitric acid on the hand will eat a hole In the flesh. "In fact, even druggists make mis takes. I remember one who tried to get a flue new color that other drug gists didn't have, so he mixed tincture of chloride of iron with antipyrin. It did. In fact, make a fine color In the globes, but when the sun's rays rested on it for a few hours explosive gases I were generated, which sent the globe* flying in a thousand pieces and wreck ed the contents of the windows- Washington Star. Too flttpld Growth, The minister's six-year-old son Is of a very critical, literal turn of mind, and his father's sermons sometimes puzzle him sorely. He regards his fa ther as the embodiment of truth and wisdom, but he has difficulty in bar monlziug the dominie's pulpit utter ances with the world as it really is. His parents encourage him to express his opinioux aud clear up his doubts a 9 I much as possible. So one Bunday at dinner, after a long period of thought, , they were not surprised when he said gravely, "Papa, you said one thing In 1 your sermon today that 1 don't think is so at all." •'Well, what's that, my boy?*' asked Lb* clergyman.

Tills is a road case which lias been very stubbornly fought in fjourt uuriug the past year. Judge Evans in his opinion sets forth the fol lowiug facts: On Sept. 25, 1905, a petition for re view was filed aud reviewers were ap pointed. The reviewers filed their re port on Jan. 8, 191)6. On Feb. 24th, 19C6, exceptions were filed to the re ]>ort of the reviewers. The exceptions thus filed aro still pending. On October 13, 1906,up0n petition of Alex. Hillmeyer rule was granted up on tho original petitioners to show cause wliv exceptions should not be tiled to the report of the viewers nnuc pro tuuc. On Dec. 17, 1906, a like rule was grauted upon petition of tiie coun ty commissioners. It was alleged in the petition pre sented by Alex Billmeyer that the pro ceedings thus far were erroneous aud contrary to law iu that amoug other omissions notice of the time and place of holding the view was not given; al so that the report of the viewers show ed that they exceeded their authority by laying out a road out side ot the termini specifically meutioued in the petition. Iu the petition presented by the couuty commissioners similar aver ments are contained. Iu the -answers fileu to tiiese rules the original iietitioners aver that the | petitioners have no grouuds for ask ing for the rules, that they have been I in default in tailing to file exceptions aud that confirmation absolute has ouly been prevented by the proceedings for review. Judge Evans' opinion cites author ities to show that it is "not too late to file exceptions to the report of viewers after fiual confirmation,if the exceptions are grounded upon matter appearing upon the face of the record and they are substantialalso that "exceptions as to matters appearing on the fane of the record may be filed after fiual confirmation of the report, where the record itself sustaius the ex ceptions. " Without expressing any opiuiou on the merits of the controversy the court permitted the exceptions to be filed uunc pro tunc. The rules gianted in the case were made absolute and it was further ordered that the petition ers file their exceptions to said report, t nunc pro tuuc, within fifteen days from j date and uot after that time.
