Estimates of Your Neighbors.
Itegin to bo liberal in your esti
mates of your neighbors. Credit
them with sincerity, with good mo
tives, with honesty, with liberality
once in a while. Their notion and
their words may testify against them
in spite of pood intentions and bet
ter motives Men aro not always as
bad thoy Hoein. Say a kindly
word, of others oneo iu a while. 15o
liberal in your praiso nnl in your
commendation of others, even iu
speaking of your rivals iu trade.
The grocer across the street keeps
just as Rood butter ns you d. All
the fair dealing is not done in your
Btore. Somebody else's milk is cov
ered with cream ouco in a while as
well B9 yours. You and your family
do not constitute the whole body of
the Lord's elect. Some who sub
Hcribo uot to your creed may yet
reach the land of light. J to liberal
iu your judgements, for you aro not
quite fitted to bo t ho universal judge.
ot being without sin yourseii he
careful whore you throw stones. Do
not keep on hand a stack of sneers nud
inueudoes. May your pocket book
and your tongue get converted, so
that. your soul may t-ren yet assumo
a happy avoirdupois, for it is written
that the liberal soul shall bo made
fat..
Mind Your Own Business.
Thfr "hardest thing for many poo
T 'to Jo is to mind thoir own bus
inc specially in a social way.
VtWY, .ItiPOt let their neighbors' af
fairs alono, but gossip' about every-
thing and everybody. No character
is too good for them to assail by in
ueudo or doubtful shake of the
head. They always kuow something
about everybody aud, to henr them
talk, all the world is tilled with hypo
crites, thieves, liars, prostitutes aud
rogues. They see innocence iu noth
ing, and delight iu gathering and re
tailing scandal. Of course, they uro
very good themselves ; exceedingly
so. They never violate any of the
comnuiudmeut.4; of course uot. They
would scorn to steal and will tell
you sorrowfully about a sauill boy
who stole, yes, actually stole nu
apple from a fruit stand. 1 hit they
never imagine that to hteul a char
acter is the meanest theft in this
wide, wide world. Tho small boy's
enmo is in innocence compared to
their deliberate aud incessant at
tacks upon characters far bettor
than their own.

Tires and Roads.
Tho last legislature in tho State of
Now York enacted a law reducing
the road tax to farmers who used
broad tires ou their wagons. Any
tire below three and one half inches
in breadth in that state causes an in
crease of road tax tothoowners. As
a set of tires will cost no more than
twelve dollars tho reduction in taxes
soon buys for them. Tho weight of
the load carried where wido tires are
used is increased sufficiently to pay
for tho outlay in a brief period. An
other advai.liigj is that wheels last
much longer whero wido tires are
used, because sido jars on the spokes
are less frequent. Another benefit
is sure to follow the uso of wide
tires, viz., men's tempers will not bo
on the ragged edge ho frequently and
profanity will not be an adjunct of
very load to town or station. The
uso of wide tires means better roads
and better roads means relief to the
farmers and his hard workod horses,
and any law that accomplishes this
benefits agriculture and stands for
progress. Why not agitato for a law
in this state similar to thoono passed
in New York so that tho narrow tire
that cuts up and ruius our roads
may gradually disappear and finally
become a thiug of the past.

It is related of an Irwin school
inarm, who, having an inordinate
dread of contagious diseases, sent a
little girl homo because she said her
mother was sick and had symptoms
of something alarming. The next

dot a little baby at our house, but

slightly and said she was glad, and
told the pupil to take her seat.

"Comparatively few understand
why a person in chargo of au estate
is styled an administrator in one
case and au exocutor iu another, al
though their duties are respectively
the same," said an old attorney.
An executor is named iu the will to
administer tho estate Au executrix
is a femalo. If thore is no will, the
female who closes tho estato is call
ed the administratrix. If the person
named in tho will as an executor re
fuses to serve, tho court appoints
anothor person and he is styled the
administrator with the will annexed
If a person in chargo of an estate
dies or defaults aud is removed, his
successor is called an administrator
of the remaining assets."
A traveliug medicine company
came into Clearfield county not long
ago and stocked tho count' up with
its cureall. Then tho company set
about to get certificates of its heal
ing powers. One man, who received
$5 for his interest in tostifyiug to
tho merits of tho medicine, had his
picture printed in a book of testi
monials over his siguaturo, nud with
a story saying ho was a sound nud
well man from tho uso of tho mod
iciuo. Somo kind neighbor found
tho picturo and certificate ns print
ed, and, being of a public spirit, scut
it to tho pension commissioner nt
Washington ia tho hope of saving
tho government somo money. In a
few days tho man who had certifiod
to his Leollh received notification
from tho pension office that his name,
which had previously beon good for
a quarterly stipend.had been dropped
from the rolls.
Sensation of tlie Age.
Widespread attention uud much
comment has been attracted by the
story of tho atrocious murder of tho
Kreider Family now running iu tho
Harrisburg Telegram, Harribburg,
Pa. Tho story is profusely illustrat
ed and coutains thousands of facts
hitherto uurevealed. It is a power
ful and fascinating account of ono of
the most awful and bloody human
butcheries on record. Tho lives of
tho Kreiders aud their heartless,
Alfred Domberger, aro portrayed
with startling fidelity. Tho mur-
dor sensation of tho ago. Every
body should read this groar story.

Tho rapidly approaching termina
tion of the Columbia Exposition
and tho enormous travel now direct
ing itself to Chicago prompt the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company to
still lurther reduce its round trip
rate on tho popular World's Fair
Coach Excursions. The rate from
Philadelphia will bo 17 ; Lancaster,
ib'.H.": Harrisburg, 5d).7."; Altoona,
!?n..')0, and a proportionate reduc
tion from other points along tho
main line and branches. Thesu rates
apply only to special trains leaving
on September 'Jih, October 'Jd and
an additional ono just arranged for
October I'.th. Tho tickets will, as
before, bo good for return passage
within ten days on trains leaving
Chicago at -ho and 1 1 :-1 p. m.
Tho rate lias now reached tho low
est possible point, and is within tho
means of almost every one, which
end tho railroad company has long
been endeavoring to attain. Early
application lor tickets is urged, in
view of tho increased demand which
will undoubtedly follow this liberal
announcement. ,

Dr. O. W. Fursy, of Sunbury, Pa.,
who has boon engaged iu tho treat
ment of tho above named diseases
for the past eighteen years lias made
arrangements to visit Middleburgh
every Wednesday for a few weeks.
Tho doctor's reason for coming to
Middleburgh is that ho may be able
to meet his numerous patients from
the vicinities of Reaver Springs,
Froeburg and Centrevillo with less
iticonvenionco than they are put to
by having to come to Sunbury. Dr.
Furcy will need no introduction to
tho people living iu any of these
neighborhoods as ho counts his
friends and acquaintances all over
Snyder county by tho thousands
many of them being the ol. I veterans
of tho late war, whom he has had
the honor to servo while ho was a
member of tho Pension Hoard at
Sunbury, during tho past adminis
tration. Attention to refraction
and tho proper fitting of glasses is
ono feature of tho doctor's work and
is of much importance. Itecause of
tho limited time allowed bet ween
trains only only a few cases besides
his regular patients can be seen but
all who should choose to call will re
ceive tho full consideration of their
cases, iu turn. Rooms at the Site-
