All newspaper men will tell you so. Hut as soon as the press is started, and the pa per is printed in its complete shape, there it stands out in front of you, so big that you can't see anything else. It's a strange fact. And this, says the Cull, is the reason it is so easy to edit a paper after it is printed. The cold wave so longed for a visit did pay, And, then, ah! away it soon went.

All plans and specifications should be on paper, so that all contractors bidding on the building will bid ou exactly the same work. Air. .1. W. Miller, the Architect, has opened an office at the S. W. Corner of the Diamond, in the old Sul livan office. He will make you plans ami specifications lor a small building for ten dollars, and what you will pay for these j will probably nave you ten times the amount on an ordinary six-room house,and besides this you will obtain just, what you want. —How some words will catch the popu lar fancy and others expressing the same idea will be relegated to the rear! This, nine times out of ten.is due to the intrinsic ■netit of the favorite, it generally possess ing, in shortness, compactness and expres siveness, the qualities that lit to the pub lic lips. All other things being equal, the short word nearly always "has the call." so to speak, and in no two words is this more noticeable at present than in those used to name the sneezing and serious ep idemic that is sweeping half 'round the world. In Butler, as elsewhere, concise, forceful, one syllabled "grip" is used prob ably ten times to once its big, four-jointed elder brother, "inlluenza," i< called into rcquistion. The short, word beats the long one. —The "'Juiot Observer" of the Pittsburg (lazetlc asserts that women are not a* to viable as nieu, and proves it l»y an inci dent.

The ladic rode on silently ai.d coldly, each dying to .see what sort of headgear the other wore, but too polite to turn aud look. Thus they rode to North avenue, where one. got oil'. The other took a good look as she went out,and got gazed at through the window ill re turn. Then it was they di covered that they were old friends. The car was stopped, the other got o(T; they kissed, and the car left them talking a duet. —Some very high buildings have been erected iu I'ittsburg during the past few years. The first was the Hamilton and Schmidt. A Friday block on Fifth Ave , then came the Penn and Westinghonse buildings on S'cnri Ave., which run from eight to ten stories. In Now York and Chicago there arc several blocks from ten to fourteen stories high, aud iu St. I'aul a man tried to build one twenty four storie. high, but it met with an accident- one of the tile floors near tho top fell, its weight caused the floor below to give way, and •. on to the basement of the building, and after the accident the building looked,from the inside, like a huge smokestack. The new It'orld building, on l'ark Itow, New York, it nearly completed, ami it will be one of the wonders of architecture. Its ili men: ions are 11'ixl'lC feet, the main builil ing is but thirteen stories high,but a round tower, ."in I'eet in diameter, rises from the (•'•ntre of the roof, five stories higher, mak ing the building eighteen stories high in all, and a . there i n double basement, it might be aid In be twenty stories high. All the writing for the paper will be done in the tower, and the pre s work in one of the basements.

Six elevators will curry pcoph up and down the building With most of us the moments run. In manner hard and prosy; Tin* tlnrist is the only one Whose path in hie is rosy. Oil Field Notes.

The cashier of the New York City p*>-t office, George If. Lonnsberry, on the eve of the discovery that lie was a defaulter to the iimonnt of $27,000 or more, made two attempts to kill himself. At first he tried to asphyxiate himself, and the next day, shot himself in the head. 11p was a hard drinker. He was appointed cashier hy ex-Postmaster General James, when the latter was postmaster at New York. The three burglars cangbt in Mercer last October were sentenced to the peni tentiary for six years and nine months each. Rev. Johnson, Presiding Elder of the Blairsville M. E. district, who became in Bane and was taken to Bedford Springs, is no better and has been brought hack to his home. On the way lie made ada h from his attendants and jumped from the traiu. When picked up his head wa.-> bad ly cut. It, is probable that he will be eon fined in a private hospital, for he has made everal efforts to kill himself. Samuel Carpenter, a blacksmith at Pottstown, had a narrow escape from drowning a few day < ago, w hen he wa precipitated into a barrel ot water. He had been in the hubitVif sitting 011 a board laid across the barrel and some joker had sawed the seat partly through. A North field (Ohio) farmer named Ah ner Grceuleaf, having a premonition that the summer weather would extend far into the winter, tried a little experiment. He planted a number of hills of potatoes late in September. The tubers throve well, ntul 011 Christmas day the farmer's table was, supplied with new potatoes from his iiv.n garden. The fact that a law suit was brought against her hnshand so preyed upon the mind of a Latrobe woman that she made two attempt ■ to take her life. Judge Uaybtirn, Armstrong county's new Democratic Judge, was elected hy Republican vote . He hail not been in office 1111 hourjtill he turned out every lle puhlicau official holding appointment under the court. A decision of the, York county Court, in regard to the sale and purchase of good on the installment plan, may interest per sons iu this region. An agent sold a woman a sewing machine for $55, to lie paid in monthly installments. After pay ing S3B the payments ceased, and the ligeut removed the machine.

A Mrs. Brocius was injured by a fall on a daugerous sidewalk in front of a proper ty in Brookvillc, owned by Itichard Arthurs, and having sued the borough recovered a verdict of SSOOO The bor ough then sued Arthurs to recover back the anionnt of the verdict recovered against, and which it was compelled to pay. The borough gained the suit. The case was tukcu to the Supreme Court and Mr. Justice Sterret has delivered an opin ion reversing Ihe judgment ol the Court of Common Pleas of JeH'ersoii county, stating that in such a case the property owner is reliable and scuds the case hack for a new trial. This would indicate that property owners are liable to damages caused by detective sidewalks abutting their property. James Robinson, a farmer living near Jeffersonville. 0., is the owner of a car nivorous horse which wants nothing bet ter for a good, square meal than a fat pig. Whenever the horse sees a pig that it can get at, it will grab it by the hack of the neck and . hake it to death, much as a dog would shake a rat. The horse then de vours the pig with great relish. Mr. Hob inson is very careful to keep bis pigs away from this horse as far as possible. A villain pretending to lie the agent of the New York IVotlil, received pay iu ad ranee from a large number of subscribers iu Titnsvillc who are now vainly waiting for the paper. The JJnahl very properly remarks: Those who read their home papers carefully are not apt to get caught by such fellows because they know that no foreign paper will scud a paper to an unknown subscriber miles away without cash in advance, and those who read a good assortment of papers know, too, that when the subscription for such papers c\ pires the paper stops at once. The residents of Chester were treated to a rare sight about <• o'clock Monday evening. A meteor was seen to shoot through the clouds and descend rapidly toward the earth. It looked like a mass of lire, the ni/e of a cannon ball and left a stream of lire behind it When within about 100 leet of the earth il burst into apparently a thousand pieces, the shooting fragments appearing to the awe stricken witnesses like the bursting of a mam moth rocket. The sound ol the shrieking pieces upon the paved trecls were heard, but no traces of the fallen inctcof ronhl be found. A gang of thieves have been operating quite extensively iu the neighborhood of l.atrobe. They have a rather novel way of doing business, too. They seem to have a mania for killing live stock, and nearly all the farmers in that vicinity have lost either cattle, iheep or hogs within the pa t few weeks. The thieves are uu like ordinary people who follow the same profession. Instead of driving off the stock they slaughter it upon the spot and carry it away dead, and all efforts to de tect them have been futile. The thieves are supposed to be a gang of tramps who infest the coke works ulolig the I'enusy! vania railroad. It is said they have twice put officers to flight when efforts were made to capture them. The Wliitla Class Co's works at Hearer Falls were closed by the the county last Monday. Judgments aggrc gating .s<>o,ooo were entered against the tirm, and one hundred and seventy five men and boys are thrown out of cm ploymcnt. Maj.

The streets leading to that place were non crowded with people going to the scene. Their presence there heaped horror upon horror, as will be seen later on. An explosion had occurred at the double residence of Messrs. Michael Bowers and John Marriot, at the corner of Wall and Noble alleys. The cause of the calamity was an ac cumulation of natural gus in the cellar of the liou-e. referred to. The city has re ceiitl.v been supplied with natural ga'. ami leading past the house occupied In Marriot aud Bowers is one of Ihe mains through which the tluid is furnished to the public. The pipes had leaked aud the explosive fuel had found its way through ti lire iu the ground to the cellar, which was tin l scat of the horror. It became ignited in some unknown manner and exploded with terrific force, wrecking the building and filling tin' air with ilehris. Mr Marriot was l.lo'vn out of the house, and a ian named Goulding, wln was standing near the structure, was blown across the street.

Hundred of. pectators who lined the sidewalks were knocked vio lently down In- the shock and laid jinwer less. Then to cap Ihe climax, a team ol pirit eil horses attached to one of the lire tie partmeut truck ■. became frenzied by the explosion aud dashed away into the crowd, carrying death in their wake.
