The Test.
The Button steam fireengint that the Pat
terson Hook aud Ladder Cotton lioiight
from au engine maker at Latxobe, York
State, was tested, last Thursday afternoon,
on both sides of the river. T ne llook and
Ladder Company turued out in loice about
1 o'clock P. M.,aad accompanied by music
they gave a street parade. The new engine
was drawn by lour mulos. Almost every-
. . 4 A..t 1ia m'Anin l.ft their
Ooay lurutra uui, -
f bQndred fue,
o I hose was attached lo it aud run up Bridge
street. The nozzle used on the occasion was
of three qnarter inch diameter, the streaai
of wster ruu through it was sent wjlb force
enough to overlesp the highest house in
that neighborhood. Aluioat everyone, who
witnessed the test expressed their approval.
The engine was taken to Pattersoa and there
subject to a test in a number of places, at
one place two lines of hose Were attached
and each of the streams thrown at one and
the same time, was with undiminished force.
The water supply beyond the river is better
than on this side. From the reservoir at
the end of the row of company houses the
engine can throw water over the built up
part of the town westward, from the plugs
along the railroad the middle part of the
town can be reached, and from the river the
east part ef the town can be protected in
case a fire should break out in a dead calm.
Withont having cisterns' from which to draw
a supply of water, the engine would be of
no use on this side of the river excepting
ia such places from which a supply of water
caa be drawn from the Titer, and doubtless
these people who live within range of the
power of the machine on the west side of
the town congratulate themselves that they
are within steaia lire engine help should a
fire disaster overtake them. The Hook and
Ladder Company 'have displayed wecommon
business management in their effort -to se
cure the engine and when they cemeeround
for help, gief!ieui a lilt.

Uawktt, Owls, Rodeuts.
The Village Record of several days ago
says: At a receut uieetiug of the West
Chester Microscopical Society a resolution
was adopted tbat Ihe la granting a bounty
for every hawk killed be repealed
for the reason that the prescribed birds did
more good than liariu to the farmer. At the
lat meeting of the Delaware County Insti
tute of Science a report of this action of
the West Chester Society was read by Lia
nas Fnssell, who quoted many eminent au
thorities on ornithology ,going to prove that
many birds such as owls, hawks, tc., gen
erally thought to be so pernicious to agri
culture, are really the farmer's best friends,
because tbey destroy so many werais and
insects and rodents that are also so destruc
tive to agricultural products. Also, that
legislatioa instead of being against these
birds of prey, should be for their protection.
That the prosecution of these birds is pre
posterous. That one owl ef ordinary smart
ness is better than a thousand traps for
rake and other rodents wo destructive to
the farmers' interests. That our most emi-
Sent ornithologists iplead most strongly
gaimt the wanton destruction of the noc-
turnal friends of tbe farmer. J. B. Robt-
son stated that therecent legislation against
these birds of prey was projected into The
legislature by members from the northern
tier of counties where shot guns have wore
influence than natural scieeoce. It was
gently hinted that the speaker being a man
of science and therefore knowing where the
true interests of his farmer constituents are,
should ase bis influence to get these obnox
ious and u-ust laws repeated. Tao subject
tor farmer action was referred to a commit
tee.
TliirtT Tears a Detective.
Allan Pinkerton, tbo famous detective,
was bnm in Qlascow, Scotland in the yenr
819. He died in Chtcaco, Julv 1st. 18fc4

life, a busy life, and a great life, and
rendered services to -this country which
can hardly be over-estimated, and which
it cos been tbe fortune of but few - men te

llis thousands o! successful assaults
agasist organized and determined crime, in
' many countries, are facts familiar, and they
constitute a foundation for a fair and just
estimate ol his life end the man's-real char
acter.
The mental characteristics of Allan Pink
erton were judgement as to facts, knowledge,
of men, the ability to concentrate his facul
ties on one subject, and the persistent pow
er or will. A mysterious problem or crime
against which his life was devoted, present

of his useful lire, llis ruling idea in tbe

COXTKIBl'TKO SI THE W. C. T. U.
The RiKk. of If.
There must be something wrong in the
way the iuetiou of total abstinence is ad
vocated. Sirarge misconceptions surround
the idea ol never in any form touching drink.
It is contrary to all reason that there should
even float in the atmosphere of thought,
such vagaries as that be who signs a pledge
in his soul or ou paper betrays weakness.
Absolute abstinence from alcoholic bever
ages means strength. All ambition, even
worldly, selfish ambition, and that ytarning
for a success which narrowly mores on,
thoughtless of anght without and beyond
this sphere of action, cannot argue against
total abstineuce from what might master
tbe most masterful person. Is it not the
logic of man, past and existing, that he who
empties but oue shining goblet will be very
apt to empty another I Is it not a reasona

nevertheless, this aid to digestion, this

of Ihe gone-by aud list again the sad multi
tudes of the once gr.at who died like

to be enlivened for the moment, dnuk the

at the pitiable weakness or the thousands

FACTS vs. PREJUDICE
Prejudice is hard to combat. It cannot be
overcome m a day. More than likely it wasn't
formed hastily. Indeed it may have been
gradually strengthening its hold for years.
For instance, some folks believe Rheumatism
cannot be cured. Their fathers believed so
before them. So did their grandfathers;
Now, RHEUMATISM CAN BE
CURED, notwithstanding this prejudice,
but the trouble is to make people think so.
The only way we know to meet pof ular un
belief isato state the PLAIN FACTS, and
then present the POSITIVE PROOFS
that they are facts. It is a fact that the
RUSSIAN RHEUMATISM CURE
not only relieves but banishes Rheumatic
Pain. There is positive proof of it too. It
comes from ihose who have suffered untold
agony with Rheumatism and have been com
pletely cured by this remedv. All who have
tried it have had this experience. Some of
them permit us to print their testimony. It
makesquite a little book, which we send free
to any who are interested enough to ask for it,
