"Ou» maid certainly worked destruc tion on those sherry glasses, those del icate little glasses," said the customer to the dealer. "There were six. and she broke three inside of three months." "Oh, you got off easy, judging froio the stories that come to us," replied the store man. "Well, I see how It is." responded the customer. "I tried wiping a few of these glasses myself the of her night, iiud the first thing I knew I wiped 'he side right out of one. As the maids say, 'Why. they break "Now, if you would wait until they were nearly dry," remarked the dealer, "you'd never break any at all. Take this cordial glass with the very thin stem. You naturally seize it by the foot and turn It while you wipe the howl with the other hand. While the Klass is wet the dish towel, gripped between two fingers, holds the bowl like a vise, and you Just naturally twist the stem in two. But if you let the glass get nearly dry the towel slips, and the danger is over." "Doesn't that make streaked glass "No. not if the water and towels are clean. Of course you ought lo have towels that you use only for glass ware. Towels that have been used on dishes are likely to have grease on them, and grease Is the great enemy of brilliancy in glassware." "Then can soap be used in the wa ter?" "Oh, yes. We use pure white soap with ours. The main point is to have the water hot enough. That helps with the drying, too, because when you take a glass out of very hot water and set it aside to drain it will dry itself be fore you can take a towel to ft. Tis sue paper i:> good as a polisher because usually It has never touched grease. Alcohol has a reputation as a polisher, hut its function Is rather to clean.

Neither i>f the partners had arrived, and the clerks that morning were in dulging in their usual bout of gossip. "Did t tell you, chaps, that 1 was leaving?" drawied the languid swell ■if the staff, whose incompetence was as palpable as the splendor of his at tire. "Heard you'd got the sack," replied the spectacled cashier gruffly. "1 answered an advertisement yes terday for what looks like a llrst class job." resumed the overdressed one. ig noring the remark. "I've pitched rath er a strong yarn, but you've got to do that If you want to keep up with the times." Just then the senior partner entered, and all wrote intently. Within five minutes the "old man." who had been opening letters, called (he last speaker into his room, and the following dialogue became plainly au dible to those outside: "Have you been lu our service seven years?" "No, sir; only fifteen months." "And is your salary £4 it's, a week?" "Eh, no. sir; 30 shillings." "And are you in entire charge of the counting house?" No reply. "And are you leaving us because of a difference with the firm regarding the management of our colonial branches?" Dead silence and a short pause. Then the old man: "You should be more careful in your statements, sir. This is a small world. The ad vcrtiscment,you answered was for the situation you are leaving on Saturday.

Drown, owner and man ager of the Gazette ami Bulleiin,nnd postmaster of Wiilianisporf, died at 2:20 o'clock Tuesday morning after long: suffering. Death eatne at the Koser hospital where Mr. Brown was taken on January 7, having been confined to his apartirieuts at The I'pdegraff for several weeks previous. Having been long a suf ferer from diabetes, at times he would be incapacitated from business for a period. Mr. Brown never married, lit went to Williainsport in the year 1 SC.-*. and engaged in the (lour mill ing business until 1808. For a num ber of years he was manager of the West Branch Planing Mill. In the year ISS7 he purchased the Gazette and Bulletin and has since been its publisher. In January, 1908, lie was appointed Postmaster of Will iam-port, and during his reign there many improvements were introduc ed in the otfice, the service made more efficient, and the business in creased accordingly. The deceased was one of William -port's most prominent and substan tial citizens and with his newspaper wielded a large influence in many directions. Editor of Philadelphia Press Dead. Charles Emory Smith, editor in chief of the Philadelphia Press and former postmaster general and min ister to llussia, died Suddenly Sun dly morning at his home in Phila delphia.

Employees on the ice should not he allowed to ex pectorate upon the ico which is to be stored in the houses, but boxes tilled with sawdust should be placid at convenient intervals. The un clean habits of men and animals en gaged in the work are too often not given the absolute attention deman ded to insure prevention of disease and sickness from these sources. Let every entcrpri-ing ice harvester and dealer attend to these health requirements and next summer no bad results will arise from this source. l.'nder the law of the State every business man is required to place a sign giving the nume < 112 the pro pri< tor and the characu r of the busi ness in front of his store. The mer cantile appraisers have been instruct ed to bring about the lining of every business man in their respective county who neglects or refuses to have such placed on his place of business; the fine fixed by the iaw being ten dollars for each and every offense, and the appraisers are instructed to enforce this law. The purpose of this act ts to en able the appraisers ti, ascertain with as little trouble as possible the name of the proprietor and the character of the business he is engaged in. In many eases cases the appraisers have difficulty in finding the proprietor of a -tore or discover what kind of bus iness he is engaged in. The require ment of the law will cause some per turbation among storekeepers who have heretofore failed to have any signs on I heir stores by which they may be known to the public. Sign painters will welcome the new order of things. Krnest Dinini of Muney, met with ti peculiar accident last week. He awoke one morning to find oue of his shoulders out of joint, which was ail right w hen he retired the night before. Four men worked two hours in replacing the dislocated bono.

"Guess J'll have to establish the whipping post for booze fighters in this town, now that I Hnd it does so much good," the judge remarked. Death ol Hyman P. Hall. Mr. llyniau I*.

Kpizootic lymphangitis, a disease among horses, has been found to ex ist in several counties in the western part of Pennsylvania. The disease is entirely new in North America, it has been known for a long time io Itidia, China, Japan and the I'bil ippine Islands, and more recently in Africa. Ft am South Africa ii was carried by horses returning from the Boer war to England, where the British hoard of agriculture has been combating it actively for sever al years. It is believed that thedis easeis now entirely under control in iileal Britain. When or by what auency it reichcd" Pennsylvania has not yet been discovered. It has been found in the counties of Butler, Mercer, Lawrence, Jeffer son and Indiana. Altogether one hundred and thirty-live horses affect ed with epizootic have been discov ered in these counties. About forty horses deemed incurable have been appraised and destroyed; the remain ing animals are in quarantine, petal iog the result of medical treatment. One affected horse has been found in Lancaster county, one in Colum bia county. It is evident therefore, that the quarantine measures that have been applied are quite necess ary to prevent a general distribution of the "disease. The disease is characterized by til ceratiou of tin 1 skin and iuflamation extending along the lymphatics, which leads to swellings of different parts of the body, mostly ol the legs. (iradually the disease spreads, and at length there is so much distinct ion of tissue and so much swelling that the usefulness of the animal i destroyed, even if the animal is not killed directly by the disease. It appears that some of the early cases are curable. The repressive measures now in operation consist in hunting up all affected animals if hicli any clue can be gained. These nimals are then placed in quaran tine, and the premises that have be.'ti occupied by them are thorough ly disinfected. if the disease is so advanced that recovery seems to be improbable the animal is appraised, Usually at about $lO or slo and then is destroyed. The following story oil a schoo teacher in one of the Bradford coun ty dist.icts is going the rounds: "Willie, when you home please a-k your mother to give you a thor ough bath and to put > line clean clothes on you. Say to her that in your present condition you smell too bad to attend school,'.' said the pret ty young Miss. Willie was prompt ly on hand the next morning, but his condition had not been in the least altered. Going up to the teach er he handed her a note signed by his mother which read: "To the Teacher: Willie ain't no rose. We didn't send him to school to be smelt; we send him to bo leurut."

Supreme Court With !he Corporations By a divided court the Pennsyl canin two-cent railroad rate law was declared unconstitutional in the su preme court at Philadelphia. As a result ol the decision the Pennsyl vania railroad h.is announced that it will put into ellVct tin ' 01.l scale of passenger fares, operative before the the two-cent law 1 ent into force, as soon a- practicable. Four members of the court united in sustaining the decree of the lower court, which declared the law un constitutional. Chief Justice Mitch ell in handing down the decree said: ' The court below availed themselves •if all the best evidence obtainable ind considered it all with exempla ry patience and care. Their conclu sions that the enforcement of tin law of 10117 against the complaints would be an injustice to tli.i corpor itions is beyond doubt just criti .-i-m."

The 1 larrishnrg Telegraph has this to say on the state trials: The approach of the capitol trials is causing much more interest in the State than the Swallow trial in IMI7, just a little over 10 years ago, and it is a noteworthy coincidence that (Jeorge S- <Sraham, the aide former district attorney of Philadelphia, and Jaiiio Scarlet, the chief inquis. itor of the eapitol commission were on opposite sides of the fence in that great battle iust as they will he tn that to come, although this time Mr. Scarlet will be for the Common wealth and Mr. Graham among the leaders for the defendants. In that trial the two lawyers had many a passiige at arms and those who re call it w ill relish the appearance of these legal gladiators in the arena once mure.
