F.Graff at the home of her aunt, Mrs. George Mayberry, In Enid. Miss Porter is a daughter of the laie Associ ate Judge Jeremiah Porter, who several years ago owned and lived on the farm now owned by Ex-Shentf Frank Mason just west of the Borough limits. D. B. Zimmerman, of Somer set, is a farmer on a big scale. Jle has somewhere between 7,000 and 10,000 head of early cabbage and au equal amount of later va rieties. Harvesting cabbage on the Fourth of July Is something Dew in tint section of the country where cabbage as a rule rarely matures before September. Col one! Zimmerman's potatoes could not look more promising, and from the size of the patch, 100 acres, be.haa out, it would, seem that he should nave enough tu ixjrs to supply all the country. John B. Goiigti. John B. Gough, perhaps the mjt eloquent and able temper ance advocate that ever lived, was born atandgate, Eugland, Au gust 22, 1817. The castle and other romantic surroundings greatly affected the boy. His father was a soldier and his moth er a gentle school mistress. His parents were poor, and to better the boy's prospects they sent him with a neighbor to America. His mother marked passages in the Bible for him to learn, especially tho second, third, fourth and tilth chapter of Proverbs. He spent two years on a farm in Mew York, with no Sabbath school or day school, but joining the Methodist during a revival. Seeking advancement, he went to New York City with only half a dollar in the world. Great poverty and many trials, together with the ability to sing well and tell funny stories, led Gough into a life of dissipation. Ho became a drunkard and an actor. His first appearance in LJoston was in the play, "Depart ed Spirits, or the Temperance Hoax," in which Dr. Lyman Beecher and other temperance leaders were ridiculed. Mr. Gough married, took up his trade of boon binding, but fell to the most profound depths of intemperance, knowing all tho horrors of delirium tremens. At one time he stood on the railroad track with a bottle of laudanum at his hps, and only the moving, of the Holy Spirit kept him from a suicide's grave. The kind words of a stranger, Joel Stratton, a waiter in a tem perance hotel, persuaded Mr. Gough to sign the pledge. The demon drink and the stratagems of saloon men caused him to fall twice, but he recovered each time, through the kindness of friends. He began to speak for temper ance in a humble way, but his great ability was soon recognized aud he becama a temperance lec turer, speaking to crowded hous es all over the United States and Great Britain. His speaking combined the richest humor, the tenderest pathos, the most pow erful eloquence, the most con vincing argument. His autobiography and his "Platform Echoes" are among the strongest temperance books ever written. After winning many thousands to a life of r obriety.-he died, honored by all the world, in 1880. No one can read Cough's life without a deepened pity for the drunkard, and a deepened sense of responsibility for speaking the kind words that may save him from his awful fate. Exchange.

Dear Sir: New Orleans is ono of the cities hard on paint; but nevertheless!, they paint lead and oil a go-d deal there. A C Callier painted two houses last year for F Hinderer one lead at.d oil aud the other Devoe. The first is already in bad condi tion; Devoe is perfect. M. Augustin, New Cleans, has painted his house Devoe three times in eighteen years. This shows that Devoe is good for six years 'there. In Florida, where lead-and oil wears only a year, we have no crmplaint of Devoe and we know of its weanfTg ten years in sever al instances. o don't say it wears ten years, vou know; there are such instances. "No complaint" is enough to say till we have long time exper iences; they're coming. Mean time, Devoe is the paint that takes least gallons, makes least bill, and wears longest. So much we're sure of. Yours truly 70 F. W. Devok & Co. P. 3. Hull & Bender, McCon nellsburg; J. A. Boyd, Mercers burg, and Norman O. Uuber, Chambersburg, sell our paint. Breathe Pure Air. The comparison of the human body with the stove or furnace s an old one. but serves to indicate the differing types of food needed by the outdoor and indoor work ers. A range with good drafts and clean chimney gets abundant oxygen, and thus reduces dense fuels to ashes without difficulty and provides ample heat or euer gy for household processes. But the same range, when tho outside air is heavy or the drafts closed or the chimney clogged with soot, cannot even dispose of light fuel, and makes the atmosphere hazy with smoke and affords no heat or energy for its accustomed duties. When outdoor air and activej exercise enliven all vital process es, heavy foods are disposed of without discomfort and, more over, have the advantage of "stay ing by," The underdone potato "wuh a bone m it" has some times been the choice of half fed peasants because it was digested more slowly than if thoroughly cooked. Even dyspeptics some times indulge without discomfort in pie and similar substantial deli cacies at a picnic on a hilltop. But the worker indoors, with little active exercise, must choose his food . more carefully. Not only the kind of food, but its con dition, must be considered. Ease of digestion appears to depend fully more upon method of cook ing and serving than upon the original composition of the food. "The Household Interests," in The Ladies' World for August.
