MONTOUR AMERICAN FRANK C. ANGLE, Proprietor. Danville, Pa.. Nov. 20, 1902 IS AFTER SUNBURY SCHOOL BOARD J. K. Robison, Dej'.utv Factory In spector, dropped into Snubnry Tues day while on his regular tour of duty and as a result of this visit there nia\ be something doing iu the old town in the near future. (Jno of the first duties performed by Mr Kohisou was to make a call of inspection at the school building in order to learn if the Hoard of Education has complied with the law and as per his instructions in erecting a modern tire escape lor the safety of the pupils. Mr. Robison was surprised to learn that no lire escajio has as 3-et been erected and iu speak ing of the matter used 110 mild terms in what lie called the continual neg lect of the board When the Deputy Factory Inspector called 011 several members of the board and learned that several lire escapes bad been examined in other towns with the view of purchasing one for the High school building and the inly obstacle in the way is the question of finance, he relented somewhat and in stead of proceeding against the board as he threatened to do In* lieu ho gave the last warning, lie granted them an extension ot time. If when this time is up and there is 110 fire escape there promises to be trouble ahead for the members o' the board Mr. Robison will also make war against the hotels not having proper fire escapes and states that the only hotel in Northumberland county hav ing anything like a tiro escape is the Broadway hotel in Milton. Mr. Rob ison says he is becoming tired of these many neglects and in the future there will be 110 more warnings but prompt and decisive action. —Sunbnry Item. PRESIDENT MITCHELL TO WRITE A BOOK. National President John Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers of Am erica, is to become an author. He has decided to write a book in which he proposes to deal with the recent strike and its outcome as applied to the great problem of the relations of labor and capital. Mr. Mitchell's determination was announced to personal friends a few days ago. He has been importuned by lecture bureaus and publishers to en list himself in their service, but be cause of his desire to devote all his time and attention to his organization, he refused one after the other of the enticing offers. When, however, he saw that he was soon to have some leisure, lie agreed to accept the offer of a Chicago publishing house and give them a book. Most of tho matter is already in shape for the printer and requires only editing and arranging to make ready for publication. The book will likely be out inside of two months. In the book Mr. Mitchell proposes to give tho insirle history of the strike, as far as he can without betraying any con fidence.

Blootnsburg, Pa., Nov. 2(5, 1902. Dear Friend:—All arrangements for the Normal School excursion to Wash ington, Decernh r have been com pleted. We have be 11 able to effect arrangements this year to reach Phila delphia on Thursday night, leaving Washington after all departments are closed and the sightseeing is done. This is a decided gain. Heretofore Thursday evening was spent in resting at the hotels, and it wa- impossible to get started from Washington ! -fore S A. M. Friday. Friday forenoon was then taken for the run to Philadel phia. Fsy thi< arrangement, we spend tho same time -ight se ing in Wash ington, and we goto Philadelphia 011 time not. otherwis • profitably used and gain a half day for -ights eing in Philadelphia. Remember that throughout the en tire trip, we have our own special train of vestibule cars, juid the cost of the entire trip including railroad fare, hotel expenses, trip to Mt. Vernon, transfer of baggage,and f> es of guides will be $14.2.). The party will be conducted by members of the Faculty who are wi !1- informed in regard to all places to be visited. The excursionists will be divided into groups, so that all can get the full explanation of the teach ere and giiidss. The. same oversight of the students will be exercised a is exercised at the school. If yoa have not yet written me about the matter, may I hear from you soon. . Your-, truly, J. P. WELSH.

July rains and July heat so stimu lateil lite growth of weeds this season that it lias been the fight of a man's life to keep them down. There is a small compensation for the men who have this year lost their crops on the river bottom lands—the overflow lias done something to enrich the soil. We notice that when a hoy has earn ed and saved up he is more likely to want to put his future earnings with the nest egg than he is to Mow his money in for pop and cigars. The great dam across the Nile river at Assouan will be completed in an other year and water be thus made available to convert a vast area of new desert land Into the most fruitful of fields. Farm rents are moving up, adjust ing themselves to the increased value of farm lands. From s.'{ to $4 per acre is now being asked for land rent where sii and S'J.r.o have heretofore been the usual prices. The reports on tlie culture of the macaroni wheat imported for use on the semiarid parts of the west are very encouraging. A new and val uable cereal has thus been provided for a large section of the country. A Minnesota sow of no particular breed lias in three years brought her owner fifty-eight pigs, which he in turn has fattened and sold for This very forcibly suggests tln* wis dom of Minnesota growing less wheat and raising more hogs. Every year new varieties of straw berries are brought out and boomed for the purpose of selling at high prices to the growers of this berry. The old sorts are just as good as they ever were and in most eases better than any of these new kinds. When a farmer indulges in a one hundred and fifty dollar surrey for his I family to ride in, he should invest S2.~> more in a set of buggy harness for his | team. Such a carriage drawn l>y a pair | of heavy work horses in a plow harness j makes a ludicrous combination. We believe it to be good advice to . suggest going very slow on feeding J much new corn to the young pigs. We , know that they will grow and do well j on it. I>ut whether it induces it or not ' there seems to be some undefined con- I ncctlon between the new corn and the j cholera. Meat values are almost certain to 1 maintain a higher level of prices for j the coining four years than for the past decade. This will surely have an ' effect upon the price of eggs and poul- j try and make the keeping of hens a more profitable business than it has ) been for many years. Most men know that corn, less than j any other of our cereal crops, depletes ]t the fertility of the soil on which it is | grown, yet not all know why this is. ! Corn to a greater extent than any oth- : er cereal is carbonaceous or fat produc- ! ing, and as this carbon element is all ; derived from the sun and air the crop ; therefore draws lightly on tiie soil. The country schoolnia'am is at best j transitory. It usually only takes from j three to eighteen months for her to 1 capture some nice young fellow, and then good by to school teaching. It is better so, even though the school may suffer as a result. While matrimony brings ahout many mistlts and lots of trouble, it is still best for most every I one to rim the risk. There is a difference of 100 per cent j in the weight of a dozen eggs. This we j know, for we made the test in a store j where. 1 eggs were bought and sold. One j dozen of the largest eggs weighed just j twice as much as a dozen of the small est ones. The small eggs always g«t to the market, whether the large ones do i>r not. In France eggs are sold by Weight, and they should be so sold i here. A railway company in the west set nut several miles of its right of way across the prairies with larch trees, primarily for their use as a windbreak to prevent the winter snows from till ing the cuts Oil the road. Tile- trees j after thirty years' growth were cut i down the past winter, and the only available use which could be made of them w: s to convert them into fence post >. fur which purpose th-• larch is of j little ' line.

DOME GOVERNMENT RULES. <'iii-r}iiiK Uniiillen Into the Capitol anil Out of the Treasury. Among all the departments in Wash ington the most strict is the treasury. A citizen may carry anything that he likes into the treasury building, but when he undertakes to carry anything bulky out of the building he is apt to get into trouble if he does not explain with readiness. A visitor to Washington the other day carried a fairly large package into the building. Nobody said a word to him about it when he was going in, but when he started out with the package lie was held up, made to open it and to explain all about himself and his busi ness. The good sense of the rule is ap parent. At the capitol it is against the rules to carry any sort of a bundle into the building. The fear is that somebody will carry in a bomb. The rule was never enforced rigorously until the sen ate took up the Sherman repeal bill. At that time the public mind became so influenced against the delay in the senate that violence was feared, and the rule was put into active operation and continued for some years. Then it dropped out of sight until the Spanish war excitement came on, when it was again enforced, as it has been more or less rigorously ever since.— New York .Mail and Express. Snnn hulls I>roil K tit Witter. "Speaking of drinking water," said one of a group of men waiting for a shower to pass over, "the best I ever drank was on my uncle's furm. "Wo lived on top of a clay hill and had a well very deep, sixty feet, I reckon, but it never had any water in it until ton years ago. A heavy snow fell that winter, and uncle tilled the well with snow. He rolled up balls until they were large enough togo into the well cleverly and then dumped them in until it was packed to the top. They were packed so closely that they did not melt until late the fol lowing summer, but when they did they produced a supply of water I never saw surpassed for purity, soft ness or coolness. It was delicious. "Strange to say, this well, always dry before, has produced a plentiful supply since. The water, while not as good as that from tho snowballs, is still excellent and celebrated through out the neighborhood."—Chicago Inter Ocean. Gall. Not Heart, In China. The Chinese, says the Shanghai Mer cury, lay stress on the amount of gall a man lias and not on the amount of heart. Thus we read of llou King, who was governor of Honan in the sixth century, that he once captured a rebel named Li Clieb, brought him into the market, chopped off his hands aud his feet, ripped up his heart and cut out his vitals. The victim, however, continued to jest, with his features uu distorted and his countenance un changed. llis gall bladder was then seen to have the capacity of a pint measure, which completely accounted for his stoc-ism. In 1G45, when the ar mies of the Mantehoos were gradually overrunning China, one Wu Han Chao made head against them in Anhui, but he finally fell into their hands. The historian records that his gall was three inches long. After the Strike. lie tried the door with his key, but the thing was locked on the inside locked and bolted. And just as ho was about to apply the knocker a voice, stern and admonitory, reached him from above: "Hello! Who are you? What do you want?" "My dear," he called, "isn't that a trifle gratuitous? 1 want to come In. D'ye see?" "Where have you been till this hour?" "Club, my darling. Been down dis cussing the strike." "Very well, then. Now you can go back and discuss the lockout. Does It still rain?"—Pearson's Weekly. Sponge Flublnjj.

The supply of drinking water for the family should be tested at least once a year. Water that at one time is pure and wholesome may become too impure for use, yet it may be without eolor, and have no odor or taste to show ils dangerous qualities. A simple test of drinking water is the Meiscli sewage test. Fill a clean pint bottle three-quarters full of tin water to be tested, and dissolve in It half a teaspoonful of granulated SUK nr. Cork it and set it in a warm place for two days. If during this time It Incomes cloudy or milky it is unfit for domestic use. If it remains perfectly clear it is probably safe. IV; careful that the bottle is absolutely as clean as you can make it and the sugar pure. The second tost is also a simple one. Obtain from a trustworthy druggist 5 cents" worth of saturated solution of permanganate of potassium. Add about five drops of this to a pint bot tle of water. This will turn the water a beautiful rose purple. If there is r,ny considerable amount of organic matter the color will Rive phuv in the course of a few hours to a more or less dirty reddish brown. If the color of the water in the bottle remains for twelve hours unelian^ r e«l from the rose purple it assumed when the perman ganate of pot.'i.tfM]tn was first aihled, it may be consider! d free from organic contamination.—Health Magazine.
