He snys his eyesight and nerves are good enough yet to pick the head otT a squirrel on the top of the tallest tree in Licking Creek township. A slick swindler is now on the road victimizing physicians. He manages to call at the offices of doctors in towns and country just when they are out on professional business, and on being so inform ed by the members of the family or those in charge he as a rule asks permission to sit down and write a note to the doetor, and if the attendent should for a mo ment or so absent himself the ras cal quickly rities the cases and drawers of surgical and optical instruments.

Last Friday he cut it and got 51 pounds of tine honey, and captured the bees,which were Italians, and took them home,aud now they seem pleased with their uew quarters and are working as "busy as bees.

Ou Friday Dr. Unger of Mercersburg came over md he and Dr. Dalbey removed a large tumor from her right breast.

With all her triumphs there is one crumpled rose leaf in Mmo. Bern hardt's couch. Tho French govern ment has never accorded her the of ficial recognition that was bestowed on the late Rosa Bonheur and a few other famous Frenchwomen she has never been given the cross of the Legion of Honor. A determined effort was made to Eecure the cross for her some five years ago. A magnificent fete was organized in her honor. Perform ances of the third act of 'Thedre" and the fourth act of "Romo Vain cue" were given at the Renaissance. This was followed by a luncheon for 500 actors, litterateurs, artists, poli ticians all those who go to make up "tout Paris," in fact at the conclusion of which poems in her honor were read by Francois Cop pee, Edmond Rostand, Andre Theu riet and Catulle Mendes, and the fete came to an end with the corona tion of lime. Bernhardt as queen of the drama. The ministry were then besought to grant tho coveted decoration. But for once the miiiii-try were cha ry of dispelling thu favor. W hut her it was thpt they thought her un worthy of the honor or that tho prp.-f influence had not been brought to bear, Mine. Bernhardt'! name has never come out in the lists, and she is etill without the right to display tho "splauh of red" that means so much in France. Cosmopolitan. Merrlam'i Clever Ruse. Census Director Murrium has re cently employed the mobt successful scheme for ascertaining who nr really the good clerks in any branch of the goernment service. The duty devolved upon him of getting rid of sonio of his superfluous clerks. Tho usual way for ascer taining the ones to be dismissed is to ask the plain question. But Mer riam did it tho other way. lo asked which of the clerks each division chief wished to keep. Each chief, with an eye single to having his work well done, made out a straight list. No droners were included in it. The chiefs thought they would bo allowed to retain these clerks. Instead of that the director ordered tho transfer of these good clerks to divisions in which there are to bo no dismissals at present. Now tho chiefs who were caught by the trick are wondering how they are to fin ish the work they have on hand with tho inferior clerks that ore left. Chicago Chronicle.
