Robert Laird Burden, new Opposition leader in the Canadian parliament, comes of an old Tory family in Connecticut. Joseph Pulitzer is now totally blind, and his condition so works upon him that he cannot be conteuted uuluss in motion. That Is why he is always traveling from place to place.

Senator Cookrell of Missouri orders ev ery day in the senate restaurant "a steak done just as I like it." The other day he found it necessary to add, "And, lorn, remember not to have any of that darned fraia omit." Kdward Conrad, a railroad gateman of Alleghany, Pa., suffered an injury some years ago which made it necessary to amputate one of his legs. Since then he has had five accidents, in each of which bia artiflolal leg was cut off. Captain Richard P. I.eary. I . S.

Mr. Thompson, a member of the Con neetiuut legislature, introduced a new word the other day in a legislative debate. It was in a horse story. A neighbor of Hr. Thompson went to buy a fast horse. Alto r having been shown some with past racords and some with possible future records the man said, "I don't want a hai been nor a will be; I want an is-er." Judge George A.

It can be taught to very jroung children, but not by giving them a free rein. A child is naturally composed— circumstances and surroundings make him awkward and self conscious. There are homes without number where the children are well bred and happy on an Income that is pitiably small. They have no luxuries, but that does not mean that they may not have them in the future, and surely no access of worldly wealth would ever place them at a disadvantage. The simple home life is as refined as you could possibly wish It, and the children are being fitted for any station the future may have in store for them. I do not Buppose that the parents expect to see a sou in the presidential chair or a daugh ter occupyiug the position of first lady of the land, but they do expect honorable positions are awaiting them if they choose to work for them.

Nothing can be good for everything. 2 Doing one thing well brings success Doan's Kidney Pills do one thing only. They're for sick kidneys. They cure backache, e'ery kidney ill. Here is Danville evidence to prove it. Mr. John Lewis of Mill St.. sa>s:—"l was not well for a long time. When working, my back became so lame and pained me and after getting home at nights I could hardly straighten. Head aches and weariness disinclined me for everything and, in addition I was troub led with indigestion. I read about Doan's Kidney Pills and as my doctor's medicines did me so little gix>d.

Lingle, bookbinder of Sunbury, and kept on his farm near Rush town, met their death in a very myster ious manner Saturday last. The cattle were turned out to graze by Mr. Persing who has charge of the farm and were soon after taken sick. It was discover ed that some one maliciously or other wise had thrown a quantity of London Purple in the field, which the cows ate. Veterinarian Jones of Sunbury was call ed, but he was unable to do anything to savfi the cattle I'hev died in great agony. Mr. L'ingle sustains a loss oi some S2OO by the death of the cows. Enjoyable Recital. A Pupils Recital was given at the home of Miss Sue Miller, E. Market St. on Thursday evening. Owing to the stormy weather many of the young folks were unable to attend. The prize for best practice record was won by Miss Marie Fetterman, the one for highest average by Miss Stella Crumb. The pro gram comprised the following: Vocal solo, Miss Annie Jenkins; piano solos, Misses Pearl Vastine, Maude Bennett, Ethel Haring, Ethel Herrington, Marion Carney, Edna Gearhart, Harriet Kase, Bertha Clayton, Marie Fetterman and Annie Reifsnyder. In some of the Swiss valleys the in habitants are all afflicted with goitre or "thick neck.' Instead of regarding this as a deformity they seem to think it a natural feature of physical devel opment, and tonrists passing through the valleys are sometimes jeered by the goitrous inhabitants, because they are without this offensive swelling. Thus a form of disease may become so com mon that it is regarded as a natural and necessary condition of life. It is so, to <t large extent, with what are called diseases of women. Every woman suf fers more or less from irregularity, ul ceration, debilitating drains, or female weakness, and this suffering is so com mon and so universal that many women accept it as a condition natural and necessary to their sex. But it is a con dition as unnatural as it is unnecessary. The use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre scription strengthens the delicate wom anly organs and regulates the womanly functions, so that woman is practically delivered from the pain and misery which eat up ten years of her life—be tween the ages of fifteen and forty-five. "Favorite Prescription" makes weak women strong and sick women well. Excellent Course of Entertainment. Arrangements have just been complet ed for next season's Y. M. C. A. enter tainments.

Badly Kicked By a Horse, Elijah Campbell, an employe on the farm of Simon Vastine, Rush township, Northumberland county, was kicked by a horse very badly on Monday. He was assisting to operate a road machine and was doing something about the horses j when one of the animals let drive with) both feet, striking him squarely in the j stomach. Mr. Campbell was knocked 1 insensible and was restored to conscious- i ness with the greatest difficulty.

U*n ■ Piece of Mall May Follow the Addrruee. "The United States 1« getting pretty big iu a postal sense aB well as terri torial," said a postoffiee inspector, "and for 2 cents a piece of mail can have a good run for the money. Sup pose we putin a spare moment in see ing what may be done for 2 cents, though a copy of The Star carrying a penny stamp goes as far as a letter. "A reader of The Star writes from Manila for a copy of the paper. It would be sent him under the second class mail matter rate of 1 cent a pound, but, as the public understands the regular newspaper rate of tour ounces for 1 cent, we will take that as a basis for our figuring. "It is mailed iu Washington and travels 3.250 miles to San Francisco and thence approximately 0,000 miles to Manila, stopping en route at Hono lulu, which, by the way, is 2,089 miles from San Francisco.- In the meantime the subscriber has returned to the United States to his home iu Eastport, Me., having left directions at Manila for the forwarding of his mail. The paper is returned by the next steamer, and indue time it travels back over the same route, covering this time about 9,500 miles to the most eastern city In the United States. "This particular subscriber happened to be of a roving disposition, and be fore the paper arrived at Eastport he had skipped out for Cape Nome, Alaska. He wished to keep in touch with Washington affairs, however, so he left another forwarding order with the postmaster, and the paper faithfully followed him to the goldlields, an addi tional distance of 6,700 miles, making a total Journey thus far of 25,450 miles. "If the paper were tired at this stage of the chase, the subscriber was not, and when it reached Cape Nome there was another forwarding order await ing it, this time to Sitka, Alaska, a far ther distance of 2,350 miles, as the mall route is somewhat roundabout in the arctic seas. "If the pursuing paper had been a UfimiTV, III? would litttr 'Foiled again!' scowled and bit his lip. The subscriber had had enough of trav el by this time and had started for home; but, desiring to read this partic ular number of The Star, he had left still a further forwarding order, so the paper, or, rather, what was left of it, was tossed in a mail bag and shipped to the States. If it came in by the way of San Francisco, It traveled 1.302 miles and theuce to Eastport 3,500 miles farther, arriving somewhat bat tered, but still in the ring, after a total Journey of no less than 32,002 miles."— Washington Star. London'* Future Population. What will the population of London be In 1950? This is no mere question of curiosity. It must shortly engage parliament, for it is because the an swers given to it are so divergent that London's water supply question is so complex. Each plan that is proposed for insuring to Londoners enough wa ter to drink and bathe In is based on a 1 calculation of London's probable popu lation 50 years hence. Itoyal commis sions and experts have put the figure at anything from 15,000,000 to 50,000,- 000. Other authorities denounce these conjectures as absurd, and an increase to 12,000,000 is predicted as the more likely Inflation. A city of that popula tiou is sufficiently appalling to put one In love with the still more sober esti mate of Mr. Pryce Williams, who in a paper read some years ago before the Statistical society argued that a limit is placed on all sublunary things and that the breaking point in London's growth will be reached when her chil dren number B,ooo,ooo.—London Chron icle. MeKlnley'n Black Snlt. A suit of clothes made of black wool en cloth which has never been through the dye tub is probably the most re markable costume that President Mc- Kinley has ever owned. That he can wear it, as one of a very few men who have enough of the wool to make a snlt of clothes, Is due to the courtesy tit George W. Peterson, who owns a Hock of 70 black sheep, the only really black flock in the country. Mr. Peterson has also given Senator Piatt a quantity of the same cloth. No dye of any sort was used, and the wool is as pure in color and texture as when it came from the sheep's backs. As this is the only known instance In which black cloth has been made without dyeing the wool, President Mc- Kinley will be a marked man when he appears in his priceless suit of clothes. Mr. Peterson, an amateur stock breed er, who has a farm at Austerlitz, N. Y., raised his black sheep at great ex pense and with much care.—Exchange. Elephant Who Earnn IIIn Bonrd. James Cahill of Honey's Point is the Only person in West Virginia and prob ably In the United States who has ID regular use upon his farm an elephant which is used for farm work. With the swaying beast hitched up to a plow he can turn more ground than any of his neighbors with a team of horses, and when it comes to hauling logs the elephant will walk away with ease With logs which the best teams of his neighbors cannot move. The elephant eats little more than a horse and does many times the work of one, is gentle and docile and causes little trouble, and Mr. Cahill is more than pleased with his experiment. Mr. Cahill bought the elephant from a stranded circus proprietor.—Baltimore hua. ITEMS OF INTEREST. More than a million people are treat ed in the hospitals of London each year. Forty-eight thousand Turks have been exiled during the last 11 years. This is nearly double Russia's record. In the last 25 years the whale fish eries have fallen off from 200,U00 to tso.Ooo barrels of oil a year and of whalebone from 10,000,000 pounds to 400,1.100 pounds. The Jefferson Davis house in Mont gomery is to be bought by the Alaba ma legislature and, like that iu Ricb mond, will be used as a museum of Confederate relics. Canadians have ever resented Rud yard Kipling's allusion to the Domin ion as "Our Lady of the Snows." Hold- j win Smith has now placated them by j calling it"this land of sunshine." It is estimated that Munich restau- j rants cheat the public annually out of $200,000 by selling foam in place of ! beer. The tine for not filling a glass to j the limit is $125 plus two weeks' im- j prisonment, but complaint is seldom ■ made. One of the probable reforms under the new regime in England will be the | serving of luncheon at the palace to ! ladies attending drawing rooms. Hith erto a sandwich eaten in a carriage under the eyes of a curious crowd has been the only refreshment obtainable at the most desirable but most tedious of functions. When a raid is made upon a gam bling house in Kansas, the furniture seized must under the law be tried in court and convicted before being de stroyed, Just as though it were a hu man being. A case of that sort was tried at Fort Scott a few days ago, when crap and poker tables, fine car pets, chairs, etc., were taken to the market place and burned. THE GLASS OF FASHION. Eolienne fabrics are very much worn. They show a sort of corded stripe this season both in straight and curved lines j and also chine flowered designs. A revival is promised of the old time j silk mitts for summer and especially ; with the elbow sleeves. One style of mitt has applique flowers of lace in the finest net. Black velvet dotted over with gold ! beads, with a star decoration at Inter- j vals, is one variation of dress trimming which in the two inch width makes a very pretty belt. Bands of silk, satin or velvet on a lace stock wired into position make one of the popular stocks, which is supple mented with loops and ends of the vel vet ribbon in front, a lace butterfly bow or a bow and soft ends of chiffon and lace. Casual hints and glimpses of the spring millinery seem to reveal the fact that in general hats are still to be low and broad. And yet other reports assure us that the high crown in the directoire style will be one feature sug gested by the long coats. Ever since last autumn the French fashion makers have tried to launch their full skirts Into favor, but as yet the American woman will have none of them. The thin fabrics, together with some very enticing models, may win her fancy to this Btyle, however. A pretty blue silk blouse is trimmed with stitched bands of white cloth and gold buttons. The sleeves, open the en tire length on top, are strapped across with the cloth bands ending in a point at either side with a flat button, and the undersleeves and vest of lace are also strapped with cloth.—New York Sun.

No man ever helped himself by overestimating his ability. Every one seems to be looking for some one to work for him who will see what needs to be done without being told.- -Atchison Globe. French Peasant Worker*. The striking fact to the American mind la the large predominance of the class of women employed as farm laborers in France —2,7oo,ooo women engaged iu farm labor! The sight of a woman, gen erally in combination with a dog, usurp ing the place of the horse as motive pow er, a frequent one in certain portions of la belle France, causes all properly con stituted American hair to stand on end with horror, so repugnant is it to the Anglo-Saxon idea of womankind. This deeply rooted prejudice against the employment of women iu rough out of door work does not exist in France, and the peasant, pure and simple, con stitute9 one of the strongest types of French womanhood, the backbone of thu nation.
