By order of Com mitt his. ' i'otatO lllight. At this seasou of the year Pro fessor II. A. Surface, SiatoZoolo git, Ilarrisburg, Fa., is receiv ing many inquiries from persons as to the proper treatment of Fotato blight. The following m formation recently scntto a Potts town inquirsr will be found help ful to others: "As a remedy for potato blight, you can spray with either Bor deaux mixture or with dilute lime-sulfur solution. The Bor deaux mixture is mado by dis solving three pounds of blue stone, and four pounds ot lime in h'fty gallons of water. If you have the beetles or "bugs" pres ent, add two or three pounds of arsenate of lead to this. The lime-sulfur solution will probably do as well as the Bor deaux mixture, this is not fully proven, although I used it all right three years agj. This is made by using one gallon of the strong lime sulfur solution, eith er homemade or commercial, in twenty-live gallons of water." In making Bordeaux mixture dissolve tho copper sulphate (blucstone) by suspending it over night in a burlap bag just be neath tho surface of the water, (or put it in boiling water, using at least one quart to the pound), and dilute to -' gallons. Slake the lime in sufficient water to prevent burning. Dilute to "5 gallons, strain and add to the cop per sulphate solution, stirring tho mixture vigorously while mixing. Hancock I'ostoffice Burglarized. At - o'clock on the morning of July -1th two doors were forced and entrance gained to tho post office by two men carrying a spotlight. They forced the two back doors with pinch bars, breaking the mortise locks and inside bolts. One man said in a hoarse whisper 'This is the way," and both started across the carrier's room to the mail room, tho door to which was open and in which stood the big safe that held the stamps, money and valuable forms. Dr. and Mrs. J. S. Diehl living in the Grove building adjoining were awakened by the forcing of tho doors. The Doctor secured his revolver, stepped out onto his back porch and saw through the window the outlines of two men with a dim light on the inside of the carrier's room. Ho tired a shot the men stampeded for the doors they had forced, stepped out, pulled the outside door shut and disappeared across the Thorn as lot toward the northeast. About an hour later Mr. Mar shall McKibbin who was cross ing the River BiJge saw throe men come up on the bridge across the C. t O., Canal, and jvhon ho approached they asked him if thtre was a restaurant in this town. Ho replied "There was nono open at this hour." One of the men then remarked, "We better go on over the river." They disappeared on the West Virginia side. Two of the men wore short and the third was a tall man. Star. A Counterfeit. The history of a counterfeit bill has its lesson. This bill did much good it paid a widow's rent, bought food for tho huugry, squared up three or four bad ac counts that had caused a deal of worry, made a church treasurer glad when he found it on the plate, and made the sexton still happier when it paid part of his long overdue salary; but when in duo course of time it came to the bank whose name it boro, the toller threw it out. "It's counterfeit"; he told the astonished depositor. It's good deeds did not make it pass the bank where its real character was discovered. Many people pass for genuine Christians who will not stand tho last great accounting. They may have done much good; they seem ed all right; sat in the pew like saints; scattered their money like dew for the church; but they had not the secret mark of dis cipleship. God does not dwell in their hearts. They are an abom ination to their Lord and Master. For such is the final casting out the eternal burning.
