One of the snro processes for tbe destruction of Buch offensive crops is to apply small quantities of turpentine to the roots, which will serve as an influence of surer extermination than is that of dig ging them oat of tbe ground, for every piece of root left will produce a stalk in a short time. The application of turpentine is a sure destroyer of all weed growths,and one of the cheapest remedies for such a nuisance which can possibly be adopted. —A letter from a yoang lady of this place, now visiting the Fair at Chicago, says that the windy city takes the cake for storms and that tbe lightning is just terri ble." She says the other night, about 12 o'clock, a storm came on. "I lay in bed for awhile bat finally got ap, dressed and went down stairs to the sitting room.

I tried every known remedy. At last I received some relief from the application of electric ity.

I had my boots made with a copper wire running the length of the sole and drawn through the centre of the heel, so that its end is exposed to the ground or pavement, thns making a ground wire to carry off the surplus fluid in the body, and since that day I have never had a tinge of rheumatism, nor ha* any person whom I hare induced to try this simple if scientific remedy. —A Philadelphia genius has invented a scoop to be placed on the ends of a trolley car which effectually prevents people from being crushed beneath the wheels when struck by the car. The affair was publicly exhibited last week, a gentleman interested in it standing on the track and permitting himself to be caught while the car was going at full speed. It picked him up gently and he was not harmed in the least. A number of beys eager to try its merits wore accommodated and picked np uninjured. The fender consists of an iron frame, bolted and attached to the car body and extending in front ofthe car three feet. A wire netting covers the bottom and extends upward at a right angle and in front of the car jlatform, being about eight inches from the dashboard. This netting is attached to the frame by springs thus preventing a person caught up by the fender from receiving any violent shock or injury. Across the front end of the fender there is a large coiled spring, or pneumat ic tube, five inches in diameter. A person standing on the track first comes in con tact with this spring, and owing to its yielding nature, the blow struck is a cush ioned one. The person struck (alls toward the car, when he is caught with the wire netting without injury and carried safely until the car can be stopped. USE DANA'S SARSAPAKILLA ITS "THE KIND THAT CUBES."

The Twenty-ninth Annual Convention of the Pennsylvania State Sabbath-school As sociation will be held in the East Liberty Presbyterian Church, Pittsburg, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, October 10, 11 and 12, 1893. The Convention will !e called to order at 7.30 oY!i»k Tuesday evening, and three sessions will bo held un each of the following days. Each county will be entitled to ten dele gatee and each city ot 20,000 to ten dele gates additional. Delegates will be enter tained by the christian people of Pittsburg. Detailed information as to railroad fare and local arrangements, including entertain ment, will be given by means of circulars and through the public press as soon as available. In counties where there is no county organization, the District President or the Chairman of vhe Executive Committee will be glad to issue credentials. County sec retaries will apply to the Chairman of the State Executive Committee for such nuui - ber of credentials in blank as they are liable to need. It is probable that reduced rates over the railroads will be grauted, of which due an nouncement will be mad*. Let every county and city be fully represented. If each should have tbo maximum number of delegates, it would not crowd the hospi tality of so delightful a community as Pittsburg, and it may be many jears be fore we meet there again The Convention promises to be one of the best ever held in the State.

It is an olTer which the publishers can only afford to make in the contident expectation of get ting a hundred thousand now subscribers. Among the authors in the coming series are Wilkie Collins, Walter Besant, Mre. Oliphant, Mary Cecil Hay, Florence Marryat, Anthony Trollope, A. Conau Doyle, Miss Braddon, Captain Marryat, Miss Thackery and Jules Verne. If you wish to take advantage of this unusual op portunity. scud one dollar (or Stafford's Magazine, one year.

Pattison to se lect a site for the state institution for the 1 feoble minded, arrived in Butler from Xe- j licnople last Tuesday evening. Wednesday morning they viewed the j sights of 000 acres each offered in Butler I an 1 \ icinity—the Daffy site on the we?t j side of town and the Portman site in Sum- j mit twp.—and left town on a special at 1 p.m. for Euclid where a site has been plotted of the Sutton, Graham, ilciliehael and other farms. The SullivanllcLuro 6ite north of But- I ler was not visited because the heirs c juld not agree upon a price, nor the ilc- et al, south of town because it was partly covered by oil and gas leases. The Daffy site west of town, which in cludes the old Bea'.ty or Groutt and some other farms was visited twice by the Com mission, and the only objection they men tion-d regarding it was the price asked, which averages $l6O an acre. Tb" Portman ;ite cast i f town ino'.udes the Portuiam, ilcJunkin and Oesterling farms, and Is a very handsome one The prices asked average #125 an acre. The site at Euclid includes the famous spring on the McMichael property, and the price asked is S3S an aero. Sites have also been offered the Commis sion at both Saxonbnrg and Zeiicnople. Tho Commissioners are careful, pains taking men; splendid .sites are being offer e i them in a dozen different counties, and nothing can be said regarding our chances for securing tho prize. That our railroad facilities are unsurpassed they acknowledg ei while here, au I our other great advan tage is natural gas for heating. LOOK OUT FOR AUGUST ist. Klinglers Price List Will Be Out.
