In an age and a country such as ours where in the home or the Sunday school every boy has the benefit of religious training it ought to be unnecessary to add one word here in condemnation of the evils of profanity. Where is the man who would dare say one word in defense of it V And yet profanity is prevalent fear fully prevalent. One hears it on every side—by men in the offices and work shops, who want but a slight provoca tion to set them off in a tirade in which (Jod's name is taken in vain, one hears it upon the streets indulged in by boys in imitation of men who swear shock ingly and flatter their souls with the delusion that it makes them appear manly In view of the above a crusade has been started in this state against the abominable habit of swearing. The movement, which was inspired by a series of articles in the "Philadelphia Inquirer" alreadv embraces, Shamokin. Hazleton. Freeland along with other towns of this section and promises soon to become general. Anti-Profanity soc ieties have been organized, the prime object of which is to check the habit of swearing, imposing a fine of. say 25 cents, for every outburst of profanity. A movement so praise worthy in other towns is equally to be commended at home. Is Danville to have an Anti- Swearing Club? In each of our neigh boring towns the movement is under consideration and Danville will not want to appear slow. Of course the agitation must rest mainly with church people. Who among them will be the first to take up the work V A CASE OF IT. Many More Like it in Danville. The following case is but one of many similar occurring daily in Dan ville. It is an easy matter to verify its correctness. Surely you cannot ask for better proof than such conclusive evidence. Mr. David D. Jones of 401 Church street, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills cured me of an enervating backache and lame ness across my kidneys. I might say I had aching stitches just over my hips, and later on I had a great deal of pain through the top of my head. Doan's Kidney Pills invigorated the kidneys and though I did not use them a great while, they cured me and I have had no return of the trouble since. As a remedy for kidney afflictions they were so satis factory in my case that I am glad to en dorse the claim made for them at all time." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

Mrs. Annie Young, 217 Chambers street, Friday received a letter from William Phoenix, a Danville boy serv ing in the Philippines, describing the tragic death of a comrade and asking people here to assist in conveying the sad news to the boys' surviving mother and sister, whose addresses are un known in the Philippines. From the letter, which was written at Manila on November 28th, the fol lowing details of the tragic event are gleaned. The deceased soldier, whose name was Walter Frilbitt, a member of Company C. 25th infantry, was killed by a shark. With a comrade on Thurs day afternoon November 28, the same day on which the letter was written, Frilbitt went boat riding on a river, which it appears is infested with "man eaters." Unaware of this fact the young soldier disrobed and leaped in the water to take a swim. He had not got ten yards from the boat when he gave a horror stricken scream. His companion rowed to the spot and assisted him into the boat, when it was found that lie had been seized by a shark and fatally bit ten. He lived only five minutes. With his last breath he called for his mother. Frilbitt, who was only 17 years of age, had been in the government service over a year. But little was known of the boy or his relatives. He often spoke iof his mother and his sister, the former living somewhere in Philadelphia. Private Phoenix asks that the papers print an account of the affair with the hope that the news may reach the mother and sister. The letter concludes with the statement that the dead soldier "was put away the next day after the accident at ten a. m." Mr. Wheeler Got Rid of His Rheumatism. "During the winter of 1898 1 was so lame in my joints, in fact all over my tody, that 1 could hardly hobble around, when I bought a bottle of Cham berlain's Pain Balm.

What is nuqnestionably the finest col lection of Philippine curios that has yet reached this section has been placed on exhibition in one of the show windows at Dr. P. 11. Renn's drug store by T. Jndson Vastine, of South Danville, who was principal musician in the band of the 43d regiment United States Volun teers, which served in the Philippine is- : lands. The collection is a museum in itself The most interesting object probably is a model of a native house 22xlH inches. The model is a true counterpart of a na tive shack, constructed of the same ma terial. bamboo. It is an object lesson, and from it one can obtain a correct idea of a Filipino shack, which may be 10x12 feet, one story high and support ed by posts three or four feet above ground. It contains a large hall or opening on one side into a row of bedrooms and on the other to a broad veranda. It has no chimney, as no fire is used in the house cooking being done outside. The roof i effectually turns water, but the building : is no protection against cold, as air blows through the loosely constructed j sides and floors. Pigs and chickens of i the family are quartered under the | building. In the collection there is a beautiful | rug, soft and flexible, deftly woven of ; sea grass, upon which the Filipino, sleeps and in which he rolls himself j when the nights are cool. There are also brooms and buckets, odd in the ex- i treme; beautiful, delicately wrought ; fans, and many other small trinkets. | The weapons of the collection form no 1 small part, representing bolos and dag gers of every description, some crude enough in appearance, but finely wrought and mounted. Some of the j designs, especially that of a Malay j "Crese." are particularly crnel and t murderous looking, giving a good idea j of what our boys in the Philippines | were "up against." One of the weap ons which Mr. Vastine values very : highly is a dagger by which he was . stabbed in the face by a native. The , scar of the wound remains, but the Fil ipino who inflicted the gash is no more, as he was shot dead by one of Mr. \ as tine's companions before he could strike a second blow. A jug of 'Beuo." or Filipino whiskey, tobacco ami scores of other articles make up the collection which it would be useless to describe at length. It would require at least one-half day to look them carefully over. —Snnbury Daily. VERY MUCH WANTED. The Last Few Years Has Shown a Remark able Increase of Sleeplessness—How to Overcome It.

"Last fall 1 got a box of Dr. A. W Chase's Nerve Pills at Gosh's Drug Store, Danville, Pa., and had my wife use them. She had suffered a great deal from nervousness and sleeplessness and nothing seemed to do her much good. The Pills acted like a charm —soothing and quieting the nerves.

Phila delphia HIjyHANr*RY For the warmest part of the south ewes may commence lambing in Feb ruary, but for the most northern por tions the Ist of April is soon enough. Commonly It should not be until the ewes can get a fair supply of pasture or other green food, says Samuel Arch erin Progressive Farmer. Hut If the ewes are well fed on "bran mash," with roots or ensilage, the best re sults will follow and the highest per cent of lambs will be saved while the ewes are yet kept in their winter quar ters. The ewe's period of gestation is five months, 150 to 153 days, and the ram should be admitted to the ewes accord- ! ingly, as the lambing period is desired. \ Carefully guard the ewes from all i rams until the coupling period arrives, i A good, strong, healthy ram—no other , should at all be used —properly fed and , managed, is sufficient for tifty ewes. | By "standing the ram"—that is, using I a "teaser"—and drawing out the ewes that are In season each day and allow ing only one service to each ewe the stock ram will serve a hundred within thirty days just as well. This stock ram standing service may not pay for a lot of fifty cheap ewes, but where the fifty are high grade and j valuable or where there are a hundred J or more cheap ewes or where two j neighbors having tifty each may join I together in buying a stock ram. It will pay for the extra work. In so doing one may spend the money required for two rams in purchasing one that is much more valuable to him. There is no danger of securing the service of a ram that is too good for any lot of ewes. If he is to be turned with the ewes, it will pay to paint his breast with, say, Venetian red every morning and in tlie evening draw out all the ewes he has marked in serving and put them in a pasture quite remote from the unserved flock, where they will not attract the ram's attention next day. This careful separation of the served from the unserved should be observed whether the ram is "stood" or turned out. However, care shouM be taken that the served ewes after twelve days from service have a chance of second service and continu ously so for from two to four weeks. CliunKC of Food For the FIoeL. There is nothing so desirable or use ful for sheep as changes of food, if only for a day or two. Like all other weak nerved animals, sheep require frequent stimulation. This may be af forded by changes of food or pasture; even a change of lodging is a comfort to a sheep. Removal from one shed to another, especially if the new place has been nicely cleaned up. does a lot of good. Look After AIIIUR Sheep. When the corners of the mouth or nose are drawn up, giving to the sheep an appearance of great misery, that sheep Is In a bad way and should be taken up without delay and duly cared for, says American Sheep Breeder. Two or three days may be sufficient to make it hopeless. Generally a dose of salts or oil, with the tonic mixture after it, will make the sheep all right again. Sheep on the Farm. Bean vines, which do not seem to find favor with cattle, will be eaten readily by sheep, and they will con sume anything in the shape of proven der that is tit for food, says Wool Mar kets and Sheep. On the pasture they are industrious in seeking as delica cies young weeds and other growth that would take possession of the tield but for them, also making the land more fertile with their droppings, which are uniformly scattered and trampled in. A dozen sheep on a farm should cost the farmer almost nothing for food. Selection «»f Flock#. If all the flocks were duly selected, as a good breeder working for improve ment would do, the average profitable life of a breadwinning sheep would be twelve or thirteen years, says Amer ican Sheep Breeder. Doubtless the reason why the Merinos are longer lived than other breeds of sheep is their inherited hardiness and the cus tom of breeders to use only full tooth ed ewes as breeders. The cause of the rapid deterioration of sheep—other an imals as well—which are permitted to herd together and breed promiscuous ly, Is the too early parentage thus per initted. The rule for breeders should be that only fully matured animals should be used for propagation and only force the time of breeding as the maturity of the animals may be has tened by the gradual slow change of this habit by the best culture; other wise the breeding of immature animr.l.s will graduall) produce deterioration, as an opposite course ha- ni.itie im provement. The ob\ 'is i !•■. then, should be to take out of th • ''k all the young rams and lambs :iit<: herd them by themselves, the ewe lit:-." »e --tng herded separately. A promises.> ' mixture of all together is simply de | struction of the flock. Breed Mature Sheen. Don't breed the lambs. This Is a | bad mistake so frequently permitted I or purposely made as to call for ear nest remonstrance, says American Sheep I Breeder. There Is no surer way to run down a flock than this. If persisted in, it will annually lessen the size of the lambs, so that in a few years the average of a flock of breeding ewes may go down to sixty pounds. Good iambs are the progeny only of mature sheep. And if one is desirous of pre paring some show animal- he should breed four-year-old sheep on both sides. A sheep is really In its prime at five years naturally, this being an average of two-thirds or half its use ful possible life under good care. lten«on Bnongh.
