A comet attracts far more at tention than a star, but the star goes shining steadily on long aft er the comet has disappeared from both sight and memory. So in human life a man that goes an erratic course with meteoric-like rapidity gets far more notice for the time being than the man who steadily and faithlully discharges the duties of life day by day. But the steady, reliable man abides while the other man van ishes into the space of forgetful, neas. For the next month or two, or until the garden fever which comes every spring wears off, the average suburbanite will lament that his back garden plot is not a quarter of an acre in size. But in a few months, when the hot summer sun gets in its work; when cut worms level the toma to plants, cabbage worms riddle the cabbages, and striped bugs play havoc with the cucumber vines, he will regret that his gar den spot is so large. ' Many a woman goes out shop ping dressed in silk and envelop ed in perfume whose hard work-J ing husband hasn't had a new suit of clothes or a decent meal in five years.

Osgar, son of District Attorney and Mrs. Frank P. Lynch, died at the home of his parents in this place about 9:30 o'clock yester day, aged almost eighteen years, he having been born on the 27th of February, 1892. Osgar had been an invalid for several years; in fact, had never been strong physically, and his death was not unexpected. He was a member of the Reformed church, and possessed those traits of character, that led him to bear his long affliction with that sweet patience and gentle ness, that won for him the sym pathy and love of every one who knew him. His funeral will take place at ten o'clock to-morrow morning, and interment will be made in Union cemetery. PINE HILL.

It is reported that Gum Clip plnger and entire family are sick with an epidemic something of the nature of lagrippe. Martin Grissmger of this place, who has been employed for some time at Kearney, returned home Saturday evening for a short stay Every now and again we read of the accidental discovery of thousands of dollars in bank bills' that have been lying snugly 'hid den for years between the leaves of some old family bible that bad been consigned to a top shelf or an attic The fact that they re mained undiscovered for so long a time indicates that as a safe hiding place an old bible is far ahead of a clock, or a stocking, or a bole under the cellar floor, or even an iron pot buried between the roots of an ancient apple tree in the northwest corner of an or chard. The alleged recent dis covery of considerable wealth be tween the leaves of a family bible in New Jersey will doubtless lead to much searching of the scrip tures from financial if not spiritu al motives. This is an age, so it is said, in which everyone wants to reform everyone else, but in which no one thinks of beginning with him self.

HIMALAYA! M6VINA 16UTH. . Mountains Alto Increased Thalf Height In Earthquake of 1005. At the conference of the Interna tional Geodetic Association at Cam bridge, Lieut Col. Burrard said that recent leveling operations In India showed that the Slwallk range gained a few centimeters in height in the great earthquake of 1905. Geologists believe that the' whole mass of the Himalayas and Tibet was being push ed south, and wrinkling up a new range out of the alluvial plain. Two facts supported this view the folds of the new mountains conform ed to the shape of the quadrilateral of old mountains In Southern India, as If ther were being squeezed up against an immovable butt; and the compensation of gravity was more nearly complete In the new mountains than In the old. The survey authori ties had recently laid down six lines of bench marks, which would be re observed every ten years to examine this very Interesting question. Lon don Standard. A Queer Importation. As a result of the labors of trained explorers of the bureau of plant in-, dustry in China, the forest service has been furnlBhed with a supply of seeds of the plstacla chlnesls, an oriental tree resembling the California pepper tree. These seeds were gathered from trees growing In the province of Shan tung, China, where some of them have reached large proportions, says the San Francisco Call. A tree standing at the grave of Con fucius has a diameter of over four feet They are well adapted to dry regions and are long lived. It is hoped the trees grown from this seed will serve as a stock of the pistachio nut of commerce. The seeds will be planted at the Lytle Creek nursery station in south ern California, and if the plantations are successful they will be grown ex tensively for reforestation purposes. Oil of Sassafras for Insect Bites. It Is not generally known how valu able a preventive against the bites of mosquitoes, fleas, gnats, midges, etc., oil of sassafras Is. The fact has re cently been recorded again by A. T. Glrdler. If in a susceptible person the oil Is applied at once to the place that has been bitten It almost Invaria bly prevents the poisoning altogether, If applied to the Inflamed spot a day or two after the bite It at once stops the Irritation. To those who live in the country and whose life is made a burden by undue susceptibility to insect bites and to those who have not yet return ed from holiday making In regions In fested by biting Insects, oil of sassa fras should be a great boon and It Is harmless as an external application.

The Moon's Troubles. The sun attracts both the earth and the moon, and, as they are alwaya either at different distances from the sun, they will be differently attracted by the sun; and hence their relative motions will be disturbed.
