Lirce Object* Apprar Small In tlie Great Cathedral. During a recent ceremony In St. Pe ter's, Rome, one of the crystal chande liers suspended from the ceiling began to creak ominously, and the people be neath It hastily scattered. In a mo ment tlie mass fell and was dashed In to a thousand pieces on the floor below. In St. Peter's a few days before when the workmen were suspending these chandeliers they were taking them out of piles of numbered boxes, for St. Pe ter's, like a theater, lias many "proper ties" and Is decked in a different man ner for its different ceremonials. Cords run over pulleys fastened far up aloft, and with these the chande liers were hoisted to their places. St Peter's Is so enormous that the eye there is continually deceived. The chubby cherubs at the holy water font look to be the size of ordinary babies, yet they are nearly seven feet tall, and a man standing beside them looks like a dwarf. When the workmen were hoisting these chandeliers from the floor, a traveler noted with amazement that the masses of crystal were over eight feet high. Yet when hoisted to their places far up In the dim heights they looked about the size of a man's head. Workmen in St. Peter's are called "sanpietrini." They take their name from the basilica "San Pietro"—"san pietrino," plural "sanpietrini." They have a set of lofty scaffolds mounted on rollers. These they move from place to place about the vast church. They an? not unlike our fire departments' water towers. Ladder after ladder runs up the scaffolding, and by their aid they reach places from 100 to 150 feet above the lloor. Ingenious scaffoldings are used for work on the Inside of the <!mie. Seen up there the "s:inpietrf:i ! • !: like flies crawling on the ci llii>'j The top of the dome Is about !' t' •<-t above the floor.—SL Lv.uis R«pi i lie PERSONAL PADACItIPIIS.

Hooker of 102 North Spruce street, says:—l was for a long time af flicted with lameness in my back and a pain over my kidneys. I had a great deal of nervousness, restlessness; did not sleep well had bad dreams and was continually tossing from side to side striving to get a comfortable position. The kidney secretions were not normal I was tired all the time and often had a dull aching in the back of my neck. I read accounts of Doan's Kidney l'ills curing people. The description of their symptoms tallied almost exactly with mine and this induced me to try the remedy. On using them a short time the whole trouble disappeared. For sale by all dealers.

The pale, sallow, sunkeu-clieeked, dis tressed-looking people you so often meet are afflicted with "Kidney Complexion." Their kidneys are turning to a parsnip color. So is their complexion. They may also have indigestion, or sutler from sleeplessness, rheumatism, neuralgia, brain trouble, nervous exhau stion and sometimes the heart aches bad 'y- The cause is weak, unhealthy kidneys. Usually the sufferer from kidney dis. ease does not lind out what the trouble is until it is almost too late, because the first symptoms are so like mild sickness that they do not think they need a medi cine or a doctor until they tind them selves sick iu bed. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root will build up and strengthen their weak and diseas ed kidneys, purify their diseased, kid ney-poisoned blood, clear their complex ion and soon they will enjoy better health.

In a pamphlet on the superstitions and u edlca 1 practices of tho Bernese peasantry Dr. Zaliler, himself a native of the Bernese Oberland, states that the belief in witchcraft Is slowly yield ing to education. The medical litera ture consists of ancient manuscript family prescription books and printed volumes distributed by peddlers. The older the prescription the greater the credit. The peasant nowadays, while carefully concealing his ancestral be liefs, is yet, when disease affects him, inclined to revert to the old charms and remedies. Dr. Zahler attributes such efficacy as they possess to what Is now called "suggestion," but admits the part played by the use of herbs ID all primitive medicine. *• we niways mix your medicine in this graduate," said the young pharmacist to Miss Yassar.

Some of "Old Moore's" Prediction* For the Comlnis Year. In his London almanac for 1900 "Old | Moore" predicted more than one great j | war, the assassination of a monarch and a terrible famine in India, and as \ all these predictions proved true many j persons not only in Europe, but also in ! this country, have been for some time curious to know what kind of predic tions he would make in his almanac for 1901. Their curiosity can now be satisfied, for his almanac for the com ing year has just appeared. Here are the principal predictions in it: In January there will be a formida« ble agitation in France, and a severe attack will be made upon the republic. In February and March most notable events will take place in the extreme east, and India will threaten to rise up | against British domination. Though there will be trouble in va rious quarters during the entire year, . April will be a comparatively quiet month. In May Ireland will follow the exam ple of India and will rebel against England. In June the anarchists will again come to the front and will give the world much to talk about. During the same month the young king of Spain will be in danger from Tiis political en emies, and lie is cautioned to guard I against them. July will be a month of catastrophes, | the whole world being threatened at I this time with misfortunes of various ! kinds. Those who are planning to take ■ a journey during this month will do ■ well to remain at home. August will be comparatively quiet . During September India will again • ' suffer terribly from famine. > During October the dervishes will t | start an agitation which may attain i I formidable proportions, i In November the kingdom of Holland 1 will attract attention by its dangerous ! and novel diplomatic policy, and the ■ statesmen in the various foreign offices J; will have to exercise all their skill if ! they would avoid a conflict. 1 ' in December there will be insurrec ; j tions, revolts and strikes in various i quiirters of the globe. As a rule they j may not be of great importance, yet they will occur at this time, and they 1 will be the striking features of the " | month. ! As will be seen, "Old Moore's" pre ! , dictions for 1001 are startling, to say the least. Ilis statement in regard to Holland is especially curious, and 1 i many persons are puzzling their brains s j to discover how this little kingdom 1 j can ever manage to attract attention '* j by a "dangerous and novel diplomatic r ; policy" which will cause European 1 statesmen to lie awake at night. We know of a five acre grove of cot f ] tonwood trees which is practically • , gone 20 years after i>lanting and all ) because the trees were planted too r | thickly. The larch, white cedar, wil ! low and poplar will do fairly well when • planted thickly, but no other varieties " | that we know of. 1 "" j ORPHAN'S COURT SALE I j OF VALUABLE REAL ESTATE. !{ ' Estate of George Dyer, late of Liber sty Township, Montour County, Pa., de - j ceased.
