In these days of swell notions of
living, swell taxes and swoll wages
and swell notions of almost eveiy
thing, almost everybody is carried
into swelling and swelling expres
sions as if to swell is the sum total of
living, and unless one can swell, they
can't get along in this world. There
is nothing further from the fact than
just such false notions of life, and
the evtry day lives of good, promi
nent and great and rich people in
every state and county in America,
disprove such notions. Hundreds of
cases to prove the mistake of such
notions could be quoted. One of the
most noted cases is that of the Cam
erous in this State. For example,
on the 14th of May, 1816, Simon
Cameron, father of Senator Don Cam
Cameron was bound as an apprentice
to learn the printing trade with An
drew Kennedy of Northumberland
for three yeirs and ten months, for
the sum of $20 a year and board and
clothing. People of s.YelI notions of
to-day, scoff at such conditions but
in the end the swell gets tho 6hell and
the others get the oyster.
KICKEK AXD GROWLER.
Editor Sentinel and Republican:
The Register has a ki;ker and I
would like to be admitted as a growl
er. It is an admitted fact that it is a
good thing to kick and growl some
times. It all depends at what you
kick and growl at. If you kick and
growl at a good thing, the kick and
growl goes for nothing, but the only
way to get rid of a bad thing is to
kick and growl, till the bad is kicked
and growled out.
There was a kick and growl in the
Democratic party in town on Satur
day at the primary, over the electric
light question. Captain Hinkle was
on tho ticket for Return Judge when
the electric light boomers said: "kick
him out, he's against electric light."
They put up John Gushard, Jr., to
kic k at the Captain, but tbe kick was
not strong enough, and the Captain
became the Judge. There is a good
deal of growling over the whole busi
ness. The electric light boomers
s t m to be such kickers that they
have kicked themselves into politics,
and there got kit-kail, and have kick
ed themselves into law, where the
kicking result is yet in embryo.
Now if they kick themselves izito the
church, what will be the result. Why
can't growler say the whole method
13 wrong and only fit to kick the
good fcelingg out of a community.
What does the electric light concern
want to kick the good feeling out of
this little community for? So that
they can make money. What does
the commuuity want to kick the
electric light boomers for? To keep
from being taxed beyond their means.
Now isn't that enough to make the
most amiable man growl. There
isn't anyone kicking or growling at
the electric boomers for ottering to
furnish electric light. We all kick
er and growler are Americana and
want to live up to our idea of Gov
ernment, that the majority of people
who are interested directly in a ques
tion, in its expenses, &c , shall deter
mine whether they will have it or not
have it. The majority of the real estate
owners; those who have the majority
of the assessed wealth of the town,
say they do not want the borough to
pay for public electric lights. That
there are not enough people in the
town to engage in the luxury. That
with the limited means of the tax
payers, a tax for bucu a luxury will
become n burden. That is why there
is a kick and growl, They are not
against the light because it is electric
lic-ht. You can't find one kicker or
growler against electric light, but
thev believe they can t pay ior u
without burdening themselves Like
the man hauling rails, it is the last
rail that stalls the wagon. No one
kicks or crawls at the electric boom
e-s for putting in a plant, if they will
be satisfied to let the people aione,
and leave everyone who wants light
to take it or not, lust as every Amer
ican oncht to be allowed to do. But
that does'nt seem to suit the electric
boomers. They are kicking and
grcwling at everyone who will not
agree to torce tne iigni upon every
one who has saved a few dollars and
invested it in property, who will not
agree to allow the boomers to tax
that property to pay for street light
at night. It is admitted on .all
sides, that it is a loxnry to go out of
your house at any time in the night
and find the streets batnea in a iigni
brighter than moonlight, everyone
would enjoy war, jubi ma every nam

boomers say, "die dog or eat the
hatchet" Now I'd like to know why
the boomers talk tbat way to the tax
payers. There is a suspicion that
they want to water the stock and
make bier money. Who would kick
and erowl over pa vine a company a

as is gained in honest DusinebsirnuB.
action Who would'nt kick and
growl when they believe that a set of
men nave a scheme to capitalize a
concern many times more than it
cost and make the taxpayers pay
the interest on the watered capital.
The people everywhere are just
catching onto the methods whereby
achemers make themselves rich m a
few ve3rs at the expense of the pub
lie. We growl at Philadelphia for
allowing schemers there to run meir
traction roads and light plants and
railroads on watered Capital, and
grow rich on the rates that the
schemers pocketed on the watered
stock. Are we not to kick and growl
when men propose to do the same
thing here.
There is a fierce kick and growl in
the community over the manner in
which dome people behave themselves
on the river bridge in the evening
The bridge is the grand promenade
between the two towns, and is a place
to catch a pleasant, fresh water breeze
from tbe river and mountain on a
warm evenin?. but the loud conduct
and profanity and sido remarks of
young men, who should know better,
has led to many complaints. The
bridge is a public highway, and it is
every man's and every woman's right
to have protection from insulting
jesture or speech from those who for
get their own self respect to mate
themselves offensive to other people.
If the R'jgister kicker keeps on kick
iiig, I'll keep on growling.
I don't know whether it is true
that we had better be out of the
world than out of fashion, I rather
guess tbat depends on how one looks
at things, but no matter about that,
it is always fashionable to kick and
growl when the Democrats hold a
convention. Tho kickers and reor
ganized democracy thought they had
the democratic county convention on
Monday, but they hadn't The reg.
ulars claim that they hav9 21 of the
36, and in the growling and kicking
that took place the committee on
resolutions got lost and failed to get
in a report to the convention, bat no
matter to the general public whether
the lost b9 found, a set of res Nations
were adopted that made some one
smile instead of kick and growl.
It would not be honest to say that
all of the kicking and growling is
among tbe democrats. A one sided
statement is not any more pleasant
than a one sided kicker and growler.
The republicans are kicking and
growling more than their political
health requ'res. A dose or tTO of
harmony would help them amazing
ly. At Harrieburg on .Monday Gilke
son, the chairman of last year's state
committee refused to meet with a
majority of the state committee that
they had called to meet on Monday.
When he refused to meet with them
they elected ex Senator Cooper in his
place as temporary chairman.
Gilkeson kicked and growled, and
denied the right of a majority to call
the committee without his consent.
He said the committee had come to
gether a day earlier than he wanted
them to meet, he had called them to
meet on Tuesday. Governor Hast
ings was kicking and growling the
same as Gilkeson.
The Qnay peoplo were busy at
work, trying to organize. Occasion
ally when they stopped to take a
bre&tb, they indulged m a kick and
growl. The roll of delegates to the
convention numbered 289, and both
the Governor and Senator Quay &nd
their respective friends on the ground
were doing their best to secure a ma
jority of the delegates. Each side
claimed a majority, and amidst the
dust of tho kbkers and the feeling
stirred up by the growlers, it rtquir
ed a level headed man to keep his
bearing and not get canfused.
On Tuesday night, the Hastings,
Gilkeson, Magee, Torter, Martin com
bine took possession of the Opera
Hous?, where the State Convention
was announced to be held, and plac
ed a guard of 200 men in and around
it to keep out all who had not receiv
ed a ticket of admission from Gilke
son, and he issued tickets to no one
but to the combine. A saint would
not have been criticised for kicking
and growling over such proceedings.
True Americans could not afford to
go there and by their presence, incite
violence and riot, if any other place
could be found in which to hold the
Convention. The Quay people
growled over the way they were
treated. V ho could Diame tnem.
Seeing the situation and feeling

the Hastings combine listened to the

LEAVES FROM HIS NOTEBOOK ON
SIGN PICTURES OF BURGLARS.
What Chalk Marks on the Front Stoop or
Gate May Mean Oa Mm Other Band.
They May Be Oaly tae Scrawls of Mls
ehlereaa Boys Which Mean Nothing.
The amateur Sherlock Holmes has
added another chapter to his little note
book which records the significance of
trifles that are important clews to the
doings of the criminal classes. Spots of
ink, cigar ashes, marks on the finger and
the particles of dost in the folds of an
nmbrella are all eloquent to this observ
ant seeker after truth as revealing
times, places and occurrences in which
people may have been engaged. There is
a whole literature on the muds of New
York and vicinity, their color and con
sistency and the various degrees of at
mospheric moisture under which they
will lie reduced to a fluid state, whilo
toothpicks and matches as characteristic
of various restaurants and localities are
full of nieanii!.
Now it ar-peors, by what the amateur
Sherlock Holmes has been revealing iu
a moment of confidence, that the dead
walls of New York, stoop3 of houses,
basement entrances and area gateways
are the signposts of the criminal classes,
and that what look like tho rado scrawl-
iugs of boys aro iu reality the secret
symbols by which burglars communicate
with each other.
Chalk marks under the edge of one of
your front steps may mean that your
liou.se has been spotted and will be bro
ken intocnaeertHin dato. A rude draw
ing on tho area railings may to the en
lightened eye of the initiated mean:
"This man has a burglar alarm on his
second story windows and keeps a revolv
er under his pillow, but tho Mirer is iu
the butler's pantry on tho first floor, and
the house may be entered through the
second basement window, where the
latch is broken."
Tho fraternity which has developed
this sign language to such a high degree
of perfection shows considerable ingenu
ity in its design, but no attempt is muilo
at accuracy of drawing, as that would
attract attention. The sign pictures of
the burglars ure made to look as much
like the mde scrawls of schoolboys as
possible.
Three figures were found scrawled cm
the gateway of ono house. Tho informa
tion thus pietoriiilly conveyed was to tho
effect that the honse was tenanted by a
lady, ono woman servant and a boy page.
That he was a boy pago was indicated
by buttons on his coat, and the servant
was indicated by a short skirt, dotted to
resemble a print dress.
Another pietnre iu tho notebook of
the amateur Sherlock Holmes was more
easily deciphered, as it showed merely a
fierce bulldog guarding the honse, a
warning to all members of the frater
nity. The next sign, taken from a house
in the suburbs, was more mysterious and
complicated, but upon a study it finally
resolved itself into the announcement
that the man who lived there went out
to business at 9 in tho morning and re
turned at 6 iu the evening.
Another picttiro gathered by the ama
teur Sherlock Holmes dnriug his pains
taking investigation of this subject
showed accurate information, as was
subsequently discovered, upon the port
of the sign writer as to the Interior of
lie, honse, J l'!Jlc:je'J tl'jt fjir were
three electric bells ou tho windows, ana
that ono wouan servant was employed.
A crude drawing taken from under tho
edge of a stoop indicated that the serv
ant there had been "squared," and this
house presumably was just ready to be
burglarized. Somoof the booty expected
to bo secured, together with warnings as
to possible difficulties to be met with,
were indicated by sign pictnres of silver
spoons, coin and plate, together with
the statement that tho place was "Al,"
but there were significant skotrhes of a
dog, a revolver and electric lxdls to put
the thieves upon their guard as to what
to expect.
Frequently the bnrglars, says the
amateur Sherlock Holmes, put these
6igu pictures ou houses remote from
those to which they refer, and in this
case the identity of tho latter is revealed
by mysterious symbols. This was the
case with a rado drawing of ahouse dis
covered on a street corner. It-represented
a tall house with a line barbed with
an arrowhead leading to the roof from
tho streot and indicating that the best ,
method of ingress was through tho roof.
The street and number of this house
were also shown by a succession of nu
merals which only the initiated could
understand.
Don't get frightened when you see
chalk marks on your front stoop or area
gateway. The probabilities aro that
they are merely the idiotic scrawls of
boys, At the same time examine tiein
closely, and if they seem to point to bur
glarious intent or design it might not tie
a bad idea to report tho matter to the
police. The latter will probably laugh
at vou among themselves, having not
yet developed many Sherlock Holmes
propensities, but tbe fact that the signs
have been noticed will, in some mys
terious way, soon be known to the crim
inals, and those enterprising gentry may
be frightened off. New York World.
Leper In the World.
According to Mdlhall, leprosy is far
more prevalent in Europe than most
people suppose. He says that there are
now 3,000 lepers in Portugal, 1,770 in
Norway, 6,000 in Russia and about
2,000 all told in other European coun
tries. In India there are 131.000 and in
Canton, China, not less than 10,000.
Ho does not give figures for other coun
tries aud islands, but it is estimated
that the leper population of the world
is but little, if any. short of 1,000,00a

Catties la the Air.
Built a castle iu the air aud live in it
occasionally. It is a delightful bit of
unreal estate, free from every discom
fort, from a mortgago to a gas meter.
Practical peoplo will condemn your
folly, but what of that? When the eaves
of your cottage seem to press ou your
brain, or your flat shrinks to a 10 by 12
iuclosure, move out, take possession of
your castlo and revel in it, if only for 20
minutes. The brief respite will help you
wonderfully, and even if your airy dwell
ing does come down with a crash you
will crawl out of the ruins better pre
pared to grapple with mundane cares.

Citric Acid.
Citric acid, the active principle of
limes and lemons, was first extracted by
Scheele. It Is found in considerable
quantities in many other fruits besides
these, the acid of commerce being, it is
said, extracted from almost any fruit,
the cheapness being the main factor in
eolusion.
Sulphuric and nitric acids were known
to Geber, the alchemist, in the eighth
century.
ABOUT INDIAN MONKEYS.'
The Met bod They Employ When BabMaff
I
It is still an article of faith, not only
In India, bat in all lands where mon
keys go in packs, that they have a king,
laws and language of course. Saving the
first item and duly limiting the others,
the belief is sound no donbt. But Ibn
Batata tells ns, on the authority of
"pious persons" he met in India, that
tbe king lives in state. Four noblemen
always attend him with rods in their
hands and cooks serve him on their
knees.
The king has a train of "armed fol
lowers." When a subject is caught, he
contrives to send a message to the sov
ereign, who forthwith dispatches an
army, and when they come to the town
they pull down the houses and beat tbe
people, and their armies, it is said, are
many. This is not quite so ridiculous as
it looks, for the sacred apes that fre
quent an Indian village will readily
gather to avenge an injury, and it is a
common practice with them to destroy
the hots when angered.
They have a great many children,
end when a child is unlike its father
and mother it is thrown out on the high
road. Then they aro token by the Hin
doos, who teach them every sort of
handicraft, or sell them at night, that
they may not find their way home.
At Shabar. which appears to have
been somewhere near Madras, peoplo
dare not travel by night in the woods,
for fear of monkeys, which is certainly
not exact, since these creatures never
move after sundown, but if there be a
foundation of truth in the legend it is
curious. Wo aro not aware that any In
dian apes at this day will attack a pass
erby unless gravely provoked. But
there are plenty elsewhere that will.
It is a well known fact that in pro
ceeding to raid the cornfields iu certain
parts of Africa apes have a combined
plan of action. The old males go first
some of thein scout on cither flank, and
climb every eminence near tho line of
march, to assure themselves tbat the
route is safe. After reconnoitering, they
give orders in such different tones of
voice that each must have a special
meaning. The elders are silent when
advancing, but the main body, females
and young, keep up an incessant chat
ter, playing and feeding as they go, un
less brought to an instantaneous halt by
stgnaL Behind follows the rear guard
of males, who drive loiterers sharply on.
Ou reaching the cornfields the scouts
take post all round, while all the rest
fall to plundering with the utmost ex
pedition, filling their cheek pouches as
full as they will hold, and then tucking
tho heads of corn under their armpits.

THE ORGAN.
Its Peculiar Fitoesa For the Form of Com
poaltion Known a the Fugue.
The organ as it existed In Bach's day,
and as iu most essentials it exists now,
is on instrument peculiarly suggestive
in regard to the realization of the finest
and most complete effects of harmony,
of modulation and of that simultaneous
progression of melodies in polyphonic
combination which is most completely
illustrated in the form of composition
known as the fugue. It is so for two or
three reasons. In the first place it is the
only instrument in which the sounds are
sustained with the same intensity for
any required length of time after they
are, first emitted. However long a note
may have fo bo sustained. Its I uu value
is there till the moment the finger quits
the key, a quality which is invaluable
when wo are dealing with long suspen
sions and chains of sonnd. Secondly, the
opportunity of playing the bass with the
feet on the pedals, leaving the left hand
free for the inner parts, puts within the
grasp of a single player a full and ex
tended harmony and a freedom iu manip
ulation such as no other instrument af
fords. Thirdly, and in the case especial
ly of fugue compositions, the immense
volume and power of the pedal notes im
part a grandeur to the entry of the bass
part in the composition such as no other
medium for producing music con give
us. Iu the time of Bach this splendid
source of musical eSect was confined to
the great organs' of Germany.
Tho English organs of the day had iu
generul no pedal board, and it is prob
ably owing to this fact more than to any
thing else that Handel's published organ
music is so light, and even ephemeral
in style as compared with Bach's ; that
he treated tho organ, as Spitta truly ob
fe'rves, merely liko a larger and more
powerful harpsichord. Without the aid
of tho pedal it would be rather difficult
to do otherwise, and the English organ
of the day was in every respect a ranch
lighter and thinner affair than the
"hnge house of the sounds," the thun
der of which was stored in the organ
gallery of many a Lutheran church.

Ramsay have to share tbe honor of
"spotting" the third constituent of tho

' certainly looks like it, if we consider
1 the evidence adduced by a correspondent
' nf a Wench journal, who has been dip-
!ping into the "Tales of Mystery and
Imagination. xne passage upon wbku
this gentleman rests Foe's claims is
contained in "The Unparalleled Adven
ture of One Hans PfaalL " Wis worm
while quoting it in full:
"I then took opportunities oi couvey
inir 1)V nicht to a retired situation east
of Rotterdam five iron bound casks, to
contain about 50 gallons each, and ono
of a larger size ; six tin tubes S inches
in diameter, properly shaped ana iv
feet in length; n quantity of a particu
lar metallic substance, or semimeiai,
wImcIi I shall not name, and a dozen
deiiii jolnis of a very common acid. The
gas to be xornicd.lroiH these latter ma
terials is a wis never yet generated by
any other person than myself or at
least applied to any similar purpose. I
can oulv venture to say here that it is a
constituent of azote (nitrogen), eo long
considered irreducible, and that its
density is about S7.4 times less than of
hydrogen. It is tasteless, but not odor
less ; barns, when pure, with a greenish
flame and is instantaneously fatal to
animal life. Its full secret I would
make no difficulty in disclosing, bnt
that it of right belongs to a citizen of

It must be confessed that the mysteri
ous gas evolved by the force of Foe's
imagination has not a little in common
with tho argon, whose acquaintance we
are now privileged to make some f 0
years l::ter. Tho "particular metalUo

argon has been extracted when taeatod

been declared by some to bean allotrop-

example, of being 87 times lighter than

however, that Huns Pfuall had to make
