This is specific and means that publishers will be obliged to cut off ill subscribers who are one year in arrears. If this is not done the right of the publication to pass through the mails as second class matter will be questioned, and which, if denied, would mean the payment of more postage by the publisher for the sending of a pa per than the subscription to the same would amount to. Hence subscribers must not blame editors who refuse to extend credit beyond one year. SIMPLE REMEDY FOR U URIPPE. La grippe coughs are danger ous, as they frequently develop into pneumonia.

He does and t's more money than all the pow jrs of Kuropo combined expend innuiilly for this purpose so it lands to reason that he ought h nave the best weather bureau in the world. Sometimes wo get u little bit upset when the weather predictions don't hit the mark, but iftcr all xve have to admit that the aggregate results, taken year after year, arc really wonderful. lid you ever stop to think how much money the weather man saves for the people of the country? Well, some years ago a largo in Wraace company, Which thought the weather bureau was overrated, started out to srather statistics on this subject. They came to the conclusion that through the warn ings of the weather man no less than $80,000,000 Wis saved to the people of tho I'nited States each year. Pretty good return for an outlay ot a million and a half a year, isn't it. Probably the most important work which the weather bureau is now conducting is the study of the sun, which is being made at Mount Weather, which is a peak in the Lllne Ridge, about sixty-tive miles from Washington. The weather bureau officials came to the con clusion that the proper develop ment of their service depended up on determining the relation of the great orb to the meteorological conditions of the earth. It holds, they believe, the. key to the myster ies of the cyclone, drought, tor rential flood, etc., and they are now seeking that key. How to Avoid Pneumonia.

' But she was wrong pa," re plied Johnnie. "That has nothing to do with it," siid the boy's father; "you might just as well p otit by my experience, and learn once for all that when a woman says a thing, it is so, whether it is or not."

CORN PRODUCTS unlTlnl'mw: rn WATCH THIS SPACE FOR HULL & BENDER'S New Ad NEXT WEEK Second Trial of Thaw. The second trial of Harry Thaw for the murder of Stanford White on the night of Juue 26, 1900, has been nearly a year after the be ginning of the first trial. The de fence will be temporary insanity, new evidence will be introduced and there is promise of "mnay new thrills'' the euphonious term for scandal and obscenity. However, the court room contains seats for only 1 iO persons, including news paper men, and therefore the shock- ng details will be published less widely than they were a year ago. The first trial lasted three months, ind cost the defence a quarter of a million dollars. A trial drawn out to such extraordinary length bord irs on the farcical, for a prosecu tion involving the life or liberty of iny man could bo disposed of in ;hreo weeks without injustice to, r discrimination against, either the prosecutor or the defendant. Nothing could so greatly extend it ut the hearing of a mass of ir relevant and immaterial testimony, including much of the testimony jf so-called "experts." It is to be hoped that this trial will result in acquittal or convic tion. But if the jury disagree it would be better to release 1 haw than to try him again; for another -rial would be more injurious to -he morals of the public than would release. Final negotiations have been -ompleted whereby the Forestry ureau secures control of 17,000 teres in Schuylkill and the north m-u part of Bucks counties, which will be used as a forestry and game preserve. The cost to the State will be 50,000 for the purchase of the tract. A large part of the tract is on the Blue Mountains near 1'ort Clinton. Since December 'M there have tin six enlistments at the U.

In view of the recommendation of Postmaster General Meyer, that a system of postal savings banks bo established iu this country, much interest attaches to a report recently submitted to the govern ment at Washington by Frank H. Mason, United States Consul Gen oral at Paris. From this it ap pears that the postal savings banks in France have 4,345,446 deposi tors and $207, 519,432 in deposits. The fact that the private. and municipal banks have 7,422,325 de positors and deposits to the amount of $666,953,574 is no indication that the postal savings baeks are not entirely successful. In fact the figures show that the postal banks are doing what was expect ed of them encouraging small de posits. While the private and municipal savings, banks havo on deposit not far from three times as much money as the postal banks, they have not nearly twice as many depositors. The purpose of postal savings banks is. or ought to be, to incul cate habits of thrift among those who have not been accustomed to save anything, by making it con venient for them to put away small sums where safety is guaranteed by the government. Analysis of the figures, will show that it is the smaller depositors that is to say the poorer people who use the postal savings banks. The average credit of each deposi tor in the postal savings banks of France is a trifle more than $60. The average credit of each deposi tor in a private or municipal sav ings bank is a tritle less than $90. Postmaster General Meyer bus distinctly stated that his purpose is not to run an opposition tosoxit ing savings banks. Tho postal savings banks, if established ac cording to Mr. Meyer's plan, will pay lower interest but will offer places of safe-keeping for the sav ings of those who have little con fidence in banks generally like many of the foreigners among us but unlimited faith in the govern ment. As everything that will promote thrift and sensible economy is to be encouraged. Postmaster Gen eral Meyer's recommendation should receive the careful aud in telligent consideration of (Jon-gress. L.
