The now county scheme that came nearly wiuuing four years ago is to be revived aud an effort liiadj to split up the counties of Westmoreland, Fayette and Washington. The peoplo living in the new manufacturing district, embracing Monesson, Donora and Charlcroi, want a new county. The heaviest loss would fall on Westmoreland, for in the case of a new county it would lose Monesson and a half dozen populous districts along the river. It is said the cause of the agitation at this time is the fact that Westmoreland is now at work on a new million dollar court house,and the people in that local ity, if they are to contribute to a building, want it close at hand. la Bed Four Weeks With La Grippe. ' We have received the following letter from Mr. Roy Kemp, of Angola, Ind., "I was in bed four weeks with la grippe and I tried many remedies and spent consid erable for treatment with physi cians, but I received no relief un til I tried Foley's lloney and Tar.

Several years ago a certain town on the New England coast was aroused from its somnol ence by exciting news. The railroad which passed through the place was to lay a double track system, had bought a largo piece of land (mostly mud flats) along the bay shore.and announc ed its intention of erecting repair shops and car-building sheds on its new property. The sleepy town awoke to the the importance of this news at ouce. In years past the place had been of no little importance as aseaport,butasAmerican ship ping declined Kivermouth had gradually become fossilized. The decision of the railroad com pauy to establish its shops there meant a new lease of life to the town. The company gave out the con tract for the tilling in of the mud flats and the building of a sea wall at ouce, and the contractor whose bid was accepted engaged many of his workmen on the spot, instead of importing foreign la borers. This made the man as well as the improvement doubly popular. One reason why Kivermouth people were glad to see the work go on was that in time it would clean out one of the bad quarters of the town. The tenements bor dering on the flats were old and disreputable, and scattered among them were several notori ous dram-shops. In one of these Cafferty's7-a man had been killed only the year before;and his murderer, once a man respected in the town and of good family, had been sentenced to a long term iu the State penitentiary. So the good people of Kivermouth were as glad to see the possibil ity of having that selection of the town effaced as they were to see the unsightly flats themselves filled in. The contract called for the com pletion of the filling and the sea wall within a twelve-month, and the number of men engaged in the work was large. Yet if they did not work together and work well, the contractor could scarce ly keep his agreement with the railroad company. The workmen were divided in to gangs, over each of which was an overseer; but the contrac tor soon saw that there must be somebody to "oversee" the over seers, or slackness, and inatten tion would result. At first it was his practice to go about among the different gangs him self; but he soon found that it needed the entire time of one responsible man to do that, and he looked about him for such a person. One day, at eleven o'clock in the forenoon, he went out where the sea-wall was being built, and on reaching the spot found a sol itary individual busy on the face of the wall. It was a young fel low still in his teens, with an in telligent, though very grave, face. Ue had a bucket of cement and a trowel, and was engaged in "pointing" the wall; that is neat ly filling in the seams and inter stices with stone and cement. It was nice work, and required a competent workman. .Where are the rest of the men? asked the contractor. It's eleven o'clock, sir; and they've all gone over to old Caf ferty's after their beer. Don't you ever go with them? The young man's face flushed deeply, and he turned hastily away. The contractor repeated the question. Never, sir! responded the oth er, in a low, strained voice. Why not? I don't drink. Is that your only reason? No, it's not! exclaimed the young man, turning fiercely. See there! He pointed to a dingy brick building, surrounded by a high wall, which stood by itself on a hill half a mile away. That's the pest-house. I'd rather go in there, with a small-pox patient in every room, than into Cafferty's. Why? queried the inquisitive gentleman. The young fellow looked at him strangely, for a moment. My name is Allan Blake, he said. Allan Blake Allan Blake ? re peated the contractor, puzzled. What of it? It was my father who killed Jim Brennau, the gambler; in Cafferty's place a year ago, said I I the youug fellow hoarsely. i O ah I am a stranger here, ! I said the gentleman in some con fusion, aud was about to turn away. But something impelled him to go back and ask, Isn't there any other reason why you don't go off for your beer with the others, my lad? How do you mean, sir? Isn't that reason enough? I mean, do you keep to work from principle while the others take a recess in their employer's time? Young Blake looked, for a few moments, a little puzzled. lie did not at first catch the contrac tor's meaning. But gradually his face cleared. Ah, I see. You mean to ask me if I do this because I think it is right? The gentleman nodded, where upon the other went on: Why.no, sir; I can't say it's exactly that. I'd do right anyhow, simply be cause it is right; but I keep to work because I want.one of these days, to be somebody, to succeed in business, to do something bet ter than working on a level with a gang of navvies. I've my poor father's record against me. It's a hard row to hoe, I've found. I have lost two positions this year just because I was my father's son. But I'm bound to fight fate till I win! and Blake brought his clinched fist down into his hand with emphasis. Yes, yes, nodded the contrac tor, smiling. I think we now un derstand one another. Do you know who I am? No, sir. Well, I think I once hired the man who hired you. However, you know where the contractor's office the paymaster's office, is, don't you? ' Yes, sir. Then, my lad, you call there this evening half an hour after you quit work here. At the appointed time Allan Blake presented himself at the contractor's office. That was his last day as a "navy" on the sea wall. In less than a year ho not only was the contractor's right hand man, but he owned stock in the enterprise, and in ten years, although still a young man, was one of the leading citizens of New England's metropolis.

"Just wait awhile," said the youth, as he slipped on another record, "and I'll explain it to you." "Oh, I understand it all right," responded Reuben. "Under stand it all except one thing. " "What's that?" asked the youth? "Well," answered Reuben, with an abashed grin, "I understand how these slight-o'-hand fellers pull big rabbits and pigeons out o' little hats, but I'll bo dauged if I understand how you get a full brass band in that box." A Profitable Investment. "I was troubled for about sev en years with my stomach and in bod half my time," says E. Dem ick, Sornerville, Ind. "I spout about $1,000 and never could get anything to help me until I tried Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. I have taken a few bottles and am entire ly well."

If you allow your arm to hang uselessly by your side, the mus cles soon become flabby aud weak and finally the power to use it is gone. God intended that your arm should serve a very import ant function, and if you refuse to use it, you lose the power. A few summers ago, in company with some friends, I visited Mammoth Cave, Kentucky. We were not fortunate enough to seo any of the eyeless fish that live in the quiet waters of that cavern, but the guide assured us that there are such st rauge creatures. What is the theory? In a history of the cave, written by Mr. Horace C. Hovey, whoa few years ago made careful investigations uuder the auspices of the United States gov ernment, wo are told of the fish that ho caught, one had good eye sight, several had protuberances, or sightless eyes, while the most of them were destitute of even the rudimentary organs of vision. From what scientists tell u, in their explanation of the forma tion of caverns, there must have been a time when there was to Mammoth Cave. Then the fish must have boon lacking tor. Some time in the past, when this subterranean passage was form ed by the action of water aud chemicals, makiug this in part at least an underground river. In fact there can be no question but that this takes place at present whou the water is high iu Green River. This stream flows above the cave, and when the water ris es in the river it also rises in the cave. By spriukliug chaff on the surface of the water they easily determine that the two are con nected. Although they have not as yet found the opening, it is plain that fish can easily be car ried iu. That explains the pres ence of the one fish with good eyesight. Remaining in those dark, cavernous depths, where no ray of light penetrates from the eud of one ceutury to another the fish become bliud, aud in the course of time all traces of eyes disappear. So here again we see the same law "Use or lose." Wo must either use what God gives us, or else the very power to use is tak en away. Sometimes in the church or Sunday school we see people who have become careless or indifferent. There was a time when they delighted to go to Sun day school and enjoy all sorts of service for the Master, but not making the best use of their time, privileges, and blessings, they have lost interest. Wo cannot be too careful in the use that we make of all the oppor tunities that God gives us. If we use them, new strength is devel oped, aud we grow spiritually just as naturally as the plant that has plenty of warm rain and sun shine; but if we neglect these precious opportunities, once gone they are gone forever, and our lives do not bring forth the fruit that they should, to the glory of God. Stop It! A neglected cough or cold may lead to serious bronchial or lung troubles. Don't take chances when Foley's Ilouey and Tar af fords perfect security from se rious effects of a cold. Alldealers. John W. Ambrose, while gun ning on Sand Mountain, oppo site Hancock, a few days ago, found the barrel and other iron parts of a rillo at a secluded spot on the mountain. The wooden parts of the rifle had rot ted away. The find is another clue to the mysterious disappear ance and death of Samuel Lloyd, of Berkeley Springs, who, about the close of tho war, went squir rel hunting with a companion, in the mountains, and was not heard from for three years, when his skeleton was found within a few feet of the placo where Mr. Ambrose found tho rifle. , Lloyd carried about $.",000 iu gold iu a belt about his person. Tho 'belt aud money have not been found. There was a rifle ball hole in tho back of his skull when discovered. The rillo has been identified as Lloyd's by his relatives and tho' older citizens of Berkeley Spriugs, who readily recall tho tragedy : It ia asserted that some of tho Egyptian obelisks bear ligures of men mounted two-wheeled vehic le's greatly resembling the old fashioned velocii)eiles.
