had a corn on each toe, that corns should
never be pared during the increase of the
moon. But if the operation is perform
ed during the decrease of the moon the
corns will soon disappear. The same

—The editor of a juvenile publication
recently received the following:
"Mistur editur:
deer sur,
please stop yor papur.
sister Annie died on monday aftur
redeing yore last wekes number."
At last accounts the paper was
still going -through its subscription
list was shorter by one name.
—Several localities in Western Penna
were visited by rain and hail storms,
Tuesday, and several fatalites were re
ported, the oddest of which was the
death of Ella Alexander at Blairsville
while answering a telephone call. She
and the hired man were at home, at the
time the latter in the cellar grinding an
ax. When the 'phone rang the yonng
lady, aged 19, answered it, and the next
moment the lightning struck the tele
phone, passing through her body, tear
ing her shoes off and passing through
" the floor.
—When you go to the telephone to
converse with somebody around the
corner or a mile away, compose yourself
and talk quietly and naturally.
The more natural the voice, the clear
er transmission. Considering the difficul
ty and wear of temper in trying to hold
conversation with people who cannot
make themselves intelligible when ad
dressing a transmitter, we agree with
the Chicago Record that somebody
should start a school to instruct people
in the use of the telephone.
There is the nervous man with the
high-pitch voice, says the Record, who
roars into the telephone until the in
strument at the other end gives out only
a series of noisy buzzes. There is the
misguided person who gets too close to
the telephone, and his twin brother who
stands too far from it. There is the fee
ble-voiced woman whose talk is about
M intelligible as the murmur of a sea
shell, and there is the woman who
stands two feet away and shrieks in
coherently a sentence in which about
t aro out of every five words can be un
derstood. The women in fact -probably
from their inexperience—are the worst
offenders. The man with the vigorous
lungs and the shouting accent is likely
to be quite as bad. Somebody evident
ly should set forth to give instructions
in the art of talking by telephone.
Lessons are needed in slow, distinct
enunciation, in a voice not too high or too
noisy, and with the lips near the trans
mitter.
—The "National Hay Asso'n" met in
Pittsburg Tuesday, and discussed the
situation and had several pleasant out
ings. Delegates from nearly all the
northern states, and some from Canada
were present. Speaking of the outlook
for this season Willis Pollock, editor of
the "Hay Trade Journal" said the pres
ent prospect is for the largest hay crop
ever grown in this country; the largest
in tonnage and the greatest in value. In
1896 the hay crop of the United States
was estimated to be 59,000,000, in round
numbers, and the crop this season is ex
pected to reach between 60,000.000, and
70,000,000, tons at least. The National
Hay association through its legislative
committee has brought about the plat
ing of a tariff of $4 a ton on hay in the
present Dingley law. instead of $2 per
ton as in the Wilson law. The total
imports of hay rluring 1895 1896 under
the Wilson law amounted to 504,000 ton 9
for which we paid $4,207,000. Under
the new tirriff law the imports are
bound to be greatly reduced, thus add
ing a large sum of money annually to
the farmers. In 1895 the total average
value of the hay crop was estimated at
$393,000,000,. The amount of hay re
oeived in 41 of the leading cities of this
country last year was 8,000, 000, tons,
which sold at an average price of sl6 per
ton. It would require double this
amount to supply other markets and
cost $29,000, (KM). The growers and
dealers in hay this season have great
reason to feel encouraged, and this fact
will account for a very large attendance
at the present convention in Pittsburg.

A dispatch from Mars, dated last Fri
day stated that William Hooks, a 19-
year-old boy of that place was missing,
and it was alleged he has been passing
forged checks in wholesale quantities.
The checks are drawn on the Butler
Connty National bank and bear the
signature ot Blair Hooks. At this place
Thomas Miles, a barber, cashed a SIOO
check by giving two checks, one for SSO
and another for $29, and the balance in
cash. Topping & Craig cashed one by
accepting a $65 check in payment of a
small bill and giving good checks for
the balance. A. C. Irvine gave 45 cash
for one of the worthless slips. The
amount of cash obtained was not more
than $75, but the boy has good checks
worth S2OO. The banks on which thev
are drawn, however, have been notified.
In Butler Hooks ordered a bicycle off
White, Walter & Co.. tendering one of
the worthless checks in payment. He
was to get the wheel yesterday, but
failed to show up.

Some people think the company should
be made pay a large sum for the use of
our streets—that to end their obligation;
and others think that the sum should be
small to begin with but that the Com
pany should keep the streets they use in
order and pay the borough a percentage
of their gross receipts.

played the greatest collection of na
ture's manifold wonders. Indeed, this
mountain bound plateau, high up on
the summit of the everlasting Rockies,
is a veritable playground for the
world's giant forces. To stand and
gaze upon them in all their marvelous
manifestations, the great geyser up
heavals, the fierce steam blasts, the ter
rible leap of the river, and the awful
canon, is a revelation, an experience to
be had at no other point on the earth.

XKIGHKOItHOOD NOTES.
Perry Mai tland, a well known and
well-to-do insurance agent, of New
Castle, committed snicide last Friday,
by cutting his throat.
A gas-well at Hornellsville. N. Y.,
has developed into a "freak." so far as
the old accepted theories are concerned
about the bowels of the earth being a
mighty hot place. The well is 1,100
feet deep, and a few days ago the work
men found that they could not raise
the tools from the bottom. When they
bailed it quantities of ice were brought
up from the depths of the well, and it
was concluded that the tools were
frozen fast. A quanity of salt was
used in an ineffectual attempt to cut
the ice The gas pressure in the well
is still very strong.
In the vicinity of Shippensbtirg there
is a promise of the largest crop of
peaches in history. In some orchards
between Edgemont and Waynesboro
and the Susquehanna growers have
employed men to pick off some of the
green peaches lest the trees break down.
Over 100,000 bushels between Chain
bersburg and the Susquehanna is the
estimate, not including the orchards in
the vicinity of Waynesboro, which are
the largest in the valley.
A Johnstown butcher. James Hn
dack. had a narrow escape from freez
ing to death in his own refrigerator on
Thursday last. Hudack went to his
ice "box after closing his shop to get a
piece of meat. While he was inside
the door closed and the automatic lock
securely imprisoned him in his frigid
cell. Realizing his peril, Hudack
howled for help, but the thick walls of
the ice box deadened the noise. Being
clad only in light summer clothing, he
found himself slowly freezing in a short
time. A neighbor finally heard the
noise and aroused Hudack's family.
The ice box was the last portion of the
shop examined and there the butcher
was found unconscious on the floor.
Vigorous rubbing and a hot whiskey
punch brought him around in a short
time.

necessary. High grade goods, a
perfect cut and careful workman
ship are a combination which
give the best results and these
arc apprecir ted by the customer.
In thai way he gets his money's
worth.
A Standard Established. You
see it yourself. No one need ex
plain to you why the clothes
made by us are the most popular.
Ours is a standard that makes
them perfect. We keep our

tion and our workmen all assist
in making the clothes first-class.
It is Easy Enough to cut into
cloth and turn out clothes. It
takes ability to obtain perfect re

our cutter an artist and the per
fect results as natural as the mis
takes of others. Hecause our
clothes are the best, people want
them.
