Burned to Death at shamokin.
Shamokiu was visited by another
disastrous fire early ou Monday inorn
liig. One man aud two horses were
burneil to death, and several buildings
were destroyed.
About half past two o'clock John
Betts, aged forty-five years, who has
been sleeping in the hay loft of a large
stable owned by the brewery firm of
Furmau & Schmidt in the rear of the
St. Elmo Hotel on Shamokin street,
went to bed.a tew seconds later flames
were discovered issuing from the up
per part of the structure and before a
general alarm could be sounded the
building was like a roaring furnace.
Betts was burned to death and the
building and contents was destroyed
before the fire department could reach
the scene. Several citizens experienc
ed narrow escapes in an effort to res
cue Betts and two valuable horses,
which were roasted to death.
The flames spread to an adjoining
teuemeut house occapied by John
Ilopka and family. Mrs. Hopka he
came panic stricken and was in the
act of jumping from the second story
window when she was restrained by
her husband. Mr. aud Mrs. Hopka
groped their way through the smoke
into the street but were almost over
come several times. The house was
badly damaged.
After a hard battle lasting several
hours the firemen gamed control and
prevented further destruction. One of
the buildings tlireateued was the Sara
toga Hotel which is run by William
Wilson. No insurance was carried by
any of the losers.

M MEETING
MY RESULT
The Standard Electric Light t*oni
pany yesterdav took down the foitv
foot pole lit tlie nortlie istern conn rof
Mill aud Front street* and icplaced it
with a tall sixty foot pole. which will
he used to elevate the wires on a Ifcvel
with the top of the river bridge, vs Inch
will he used to carry them over to
South Danville. Hur two wires will
be strnng over the bridge at present,
although, the wooden arms employed,
which will rise above tho top <>l the
iron work, will contain six pin* mak-
I ing it piacticahle to add oilier wire
as they may he needed.
What is iieerled now is for the Bor
ougli to remove the electric light poi
nt the southeast corner of the same in
tersection of streets. r j he wir.gwall
changed by the county,especially -ince
I the railing has been replaced, it must
I be confessed, helps the appearance of
' things considerably. It is though that
! the Borough Council will yield to puL
; lie opinion and remove or very mucii
! modify the curbing at the foot of the
' approach. Whatever is done, however,
i must be accomplished quickly; other
wise a delay will occur in putting
! down the pavement.
The trolley track is fully conne led.
Uontraetor Rogers yesterday began the
work of concreting the roadway and
unless held up by some delayed action
of Council the approach will be com
pleted before the last of the week.

were annoying and embarrassing.
Doau's K'dney Pills worked a quick

also used some tor ltuw*we ss in the

HOB ON
BRIDGE APPROACH
There is a very loud protest from the
public rtlative to the approach to the
Danville end of the river bridge. The
County Commissioners and the Bor
ougli Council both have jut i-diet ion
over the approach and unionuua'> ly
their views do not coincide.
The (bounty Conim issioner-, who fav -
or ptving the roalway from wmgnall
t.' w.ugwall, seein to have the support
of the public, while the Borough,
which to carry out its idea has erected
corning for a sidewalk that goes no
further than the Front street line, is
verv much criticized ami ridiculed.
As arrtanged, the appro tch appears
very oddly,indeed, and the public can
not become reconcilei to it The Bor
ough's portion chiefly is condemned by
the people, who claim that there is no
s oise whatever in the present arrange
ment—that the bit of pavement at the
lower end of the approach serves no
purpose whatever, but will prove only
a i obstacle and an annoyance,obliging
people to step up and then after a
louple of paces to step down again up
on tha level of the paved approach. A
good many people find no fault with a
single curb at the lower or northum
end of the approach, it necessary, but
they coudetnu the raised walk as plan
ued with curbing on the upper side
and at tho euds. Nether do people ap
prove of the line selected, which, it
is uo secret, was adopted to make
things conform with a large electric
light pole that the Borough does riot
want to remove. Such a considera
tion, it is held, is unworthy of a pro
gressive municipality and it is de
manded that the pole bo removed rr
gatdless of the trifling cost involved
and that the approach be fixed up to
present a better appearance.
This article is not written in an im
pertineut or a meddlesome spirit. The
situation is becoming tense. If tilings
about the approach are to remain as
they are the public want to hear some
sound oi reasonable excuse. As it is
they say it looks like narrow Handed
ness aud child's play. Things just now
have reached a pais when an indigna
tion meeting is likely to result, and
the tip is giyeu Council in the most
friendly spirit.

Hany Uses for lingine.
Toe Borough traction engine proves
to be a pretty useful piece of machin
ery, It is indeed quite surprising how
many different uses it can be pat to.
It was originally employed in pump
ing water when the sewer was being
dug. It was soon found that it could
he used to an advantage as a steam
plow iu breaking up the hard macad
am on streets that were to bo paved,
there was also work for it to do isi
operating the stone crusher when it
came io furnishing material for con
crete needed iu street paving. Yester
day the old engine's sphere of useful
ness was enlarged by being made to as
sist in digging the sewer extension on
Lower Mulberry street. It could not go
down into the trench, it is true, lint
was used to excellent advantage in
cutting through the course of cinder
and iron stone which forms the road
bed,dragging the plow backwards and
forwards over the same spot until a
deep furrow was formed, be'ow which
it was easy digging. By means of the
engine yesterday the sewer took a big
sttid" forward,the ground being l>ruk
en as far as Pine street.

NERVE PILLS
When you overwork any uiosele or
set of muscles they lire and must have
re>-t. What is true of muscle is doub
ly I rue of the brain, as from it em
anates all power to work, to act, to
think. Th« brain is full of little cells
that during,the waking hours are nev
er quiet in their efforts to furnish lo
every organ the power to do its rluty.
Rob these little cells ot their rest at
night—Up th'lll at work all the
time, and soon they tire,refuse toast,
fail to generate nerve force and the
system goes to ruin. Bromides, seda

they do not build up, they tear rtnwn.
The true r> nn ilv, th only cure, lies

ENGLISH SOCIETY WOMEN.
< nilNfir < oiii men ton Tli«»lr l,o\c of
III'IIKN II II <1 L.liiiior.
A prominent London Journal print*
tin following indictment of tin- habits
of many English society women: "A
generation lack it WHS among the
lower chisses we fount! intemperance
rife, an«l then It was the beer of the
people which supplied the means; to
day we find Intemperance rampant
from tin' highest to the lowest, tin*
vehicle being alcohol, impure and sim
ple, vile concoctions labeled indiffer
ently brandy, whisky, gin. Our
wearied, jaded votaries of pleasure
seek temporary recuperation from
these impure sources; then, when
their day Is done, they resort to their
sulphonal. trionai. morphia or what
not in the vain hope of a night's good
rest. Another most appalling fact
that we have to face is the rapid in
crease in the number of women among
the inebriate ranks.
"What Is the daily life history of a
woman in society? Too jaded by self
ish indulgences, after a night of mor
bid sleep born of some favorite drug
she rises to face a day's racing with
its concomitant betting. Her break
fast inadequate, probably supplement
ed by brandy or whisky and soda;
luncheon indigestible, savory but un
healthful bonnes boiiches, liberal po
tations of champagne or, more likely,
recourse to familiar brandy or whisky
peg; a rush home, further pandering
to a morbid appetite, more champagne,
later perhaps a dance or many hours
devoted to inevitable bridge, again
brandy or whisky and soda, then lied,
with sulphonal, trionai. morphia or
some equally noxious drug.
"What wonder that there is no time,
no disposition, for domestic duties, no
rare for the family life that erst was
the backbone of England! Physical
and moral degeneration is the inevi
table result."
CHATEAUBRIAND IN LONDON
A I'lclure of the English Capital of
a Century Ago.
"All the English are mad by nature
or by fashion," Chateaubriand writes
nonchalantly in the book of his em
bassy in London (1821), but he had a
very gay time with the same lunatics.
We hear of dinners, Almack's and lt>
beau monde. "The day was thus dis
tributed in Loudon: At 0 o'clock in the
morning one hastened to a party of
pleasure, consisting <>f a breakfast ill
the country; one returned to lunch in
London; one changed one's dress to
walk in Bond street or Hyde park; one
dressed again to dine at 7:30; one
dressed again for the opera; at mid
night one dressed once more f»r an
evening party or rout. What a life of
enchantments'. I should a hundred
times have preferred the galleys." One
smiles and reads on. lie found L uulon
full of recollections of Bonaparte. "The
people had passed from the vilification
of 'Nick' to a stupid enthusiasm. His
colossal bust by Cunova decorated the
1 uike of Wellington's staircase."
At an evening party at Lord London
derry's, the English premier, "I was
presented by ills majesty to a severe
looking lady seventy-three years old.
She was dressed in crape, wore a black
veil like a diadem on her white hair
and resembled a queen who had abdi
cated her throne. She greeted me in a
solemn voice with three mangled sen
tences from the 'Genie du I'hristian
lame;' then she said to me, with no less
solemnity, 'I am Mrs. Siddons.' If she
had said to me. "I am Lady Macbeth,' I
should have believed her."—John J.

INCITED MUTINY.
An Knislltlt A«flvttlrttl Onof Did Ttifn
by Itoyttl 1 ouiiiittiid.
Not only did an English admiral once
receive instructions to incite his men
to mutiny, but lie actually carried his
Instructions out.
On the eve of the death of James 1.,
and as a result of l'rince Charles' mar
riage to Henrietta Maria, Buckingham
agreed to lend the Vanguard and sev
en merchantmen to the French. Be
fore his promise was fulfilled the Hu
guenot rebellion at Rochelle broke out,
and by the time Sir John Pennington,
who had been putin command, was
ready to sail the authorities in England
became disagreeably aware that their
ships would be used against the
French Protestants.
Buckingham was conscious of the
storm of indignation this would arouse
in England. In his perplexity the only
solution that occurred to him was to
Instruct Pennington to get his men to
mutiny. A secret message to this ef
fect was sent him through the Earl of
Pembroke, and Sir John, who had no
Wish to hand the ships over to the
French, obeyed and allowed his crew
to carry him and his officers back to
England.

fihttau .Monk* Who Suffer l.lfv Ini»
)>r j»onuien t lu Dark (Vila,
Perhaps the most terrible penance
Buffered for religious reasons anywhere
In the world is that of the monks of
Nyeu-de-kyi-buk, as described by Per*
rival Landon in"The Opening of
Tibet." These monks live In the ordi
nary manner during the novitiate; then
they go Into cells for a period of six
months; then, after an Interval, for
three years and ninety three days; la
ter for life.
And such a cell! "Almost on a level
with the ground," says Mr. Laiulon,
"there was an opening closed with a
lint stone from behind. In front "if this
window was a ledge eighteen inches in
width, with two basins beside it, one
at each end. The abbot was attended
by an acolyte who, by his master's or
ders, tapped three times sharply on
the stone slab. We stood In the little
courtyard in tin' sun and watched that
wicket with cold apprehension. I
think, 011 the whole, it was the most
uncanny thing I saw In all Tibet. Aft
er half a minute's pause the stone mov
ed or tried to move, but it came to rest
again. Then very slowly and uncer
tainly it was pushed back, and a black
chasm was revealed. There was again
a pause of thirty seconds, during which
Imagination ran riot, but I do not think
that any other thing could have been
as Intensely pathetic as that we actu
ally saw.
"A hand, mutHed In a tightly wound
piece of dirty cloth, for all the world
like a stump of an arm, was painfully
thrust up, and very weakly It felt
along the -dab. After a fruitless fum
bling the hand slowly quivered back
again into (lie darkness. A few mo
ments later there was again an inef
fectual effort, and then the stone slab
moved noiselessly across the opening
"Once a day water and an unleas
ened cake of flour is placed for the
prisoner upon that slab, the signal Is
given, and lie may take It In. Ills
diversion Is over for the day, and In
the darkness of his ceil, where night
and day moon, sunset and the dawn
are all alike, he poor soul!-had
thought that another day of his lung
penance was over."
I A MLNTAL PUZZLE.
i Doul»!»- i oiiMi'ioiiNiicNH Uevelopfd by
an Attu«*k of lllii«*mn.
Speaking of Instances of double con
sciousness, Mental Science note-- the
follow ing case:
The patient was a girl, twenty-two
years of age. She suffered from some
affection that may have been menin
gitis, but this is not known positively.
She then developed aeute maniaeal ex
citation. During this illness the pa
| tient presented some remarkable
| changes of personality such as are
teen in hysteria. The author does not
j term tin- curious manifestations by
tliis name, but some nine or
more different varieties of personality
. manifested by the patient that are
■ quite interesting. Thus ii,.- patient had
spells of blindness, deafness, paralysis,
j etc. The most interesting of these
; manifestations, because the least i ;i-\
i to explain, was the patient':- ability to
draw the full figure of a nurse, etc.,
during her spell of blindness. To con
| vince himself that this was the actual
case the author held a book between
the patient's eyes and the sheet of
I paper on which >h<- was drawing nr put
his hands before her eyes while she
was drawing without in any way inter
fering with her drawing. Her sense of
, touch was highly sensitive during that
. period; she could detect a line drawn
[ across her drawing paper, dates writ
ten at the top of her drawing paper,
merely by touching the paper where
the intruding lines had been drawn.
During her normal state the patient
could never draw either before or after
: her illness.
THE JUICY GRAPE.
If* Hl»tor> I<« \V«I1 Mich ti s Old un
That of Man.
The history of the grape is almost a;j
old as that of man. Growing in Us
highest perfection in Syria and Persia,
Its luscious fruit recommended it to the
especial care of the patriarchal tillers
of the soil, and vineyards were exten
sively planted long before orchards or
collections of other fruit trees were at
all common.
The grape came originally from Per
sia. From the latter country as civili
zation advanced westward this fruit
accompanied It—first to Egypt, then to
Greece, Sicily, Italy, Spain, France and
then to < Ireat Britain, to which latter
country the Romans carried it 200
years after < 'hrist.
To America the seeds and plants of
the European varieties were brought
by emigrants and colonists the first
fifty years after its settlement.
There are a vast number of varieties
of grapes, but there are really only
about a dozen varieties good for the
table. California produces the Tokay,
Muscat, Black Prince, Malaga, etc.,
while the eastern stales produce such
varieties as the Concord, Catawba, Ni
agara, Delaware, Black Hamburg and
Isabella.—New England Grocer.
Advice About Ekk*.
A writer in the Delineator gives some
sensible advice about eggs. There is a
general impression that eggs, acknowl
edged to be a complete food, may be
safely eaten on all occasions. On the
contrary, as the writer alluded to
points out, invalids and young children
should never be given eggs unless they
are very fresh. Persons suffering from
biliousness, gastritis and several other
troubles find difficulty In lighting even
fresh eggs. Some physicians declare
that the slightest tendency toward
rheumatism makes eggs undesirable.
The white of eggs whipped to a froth
with a little water is a good thing to
give fever patients, as a rule, but the
physician should lie consulted before
even this Is given to a sick person.
Elevated Hivers.
The most elevated river iu the world
Is tli3 Desaguadero. in Bolivia. It is
of a considerable depth, and its whole
length, from the village Desaguadero,
at the south extremity of Titicaca, to
the north end of the lake Aullagas, Is
about IjsO ndles. The average eleva
tion of the valley or tableland of Desa
guadero above the level of the sea is
about 13,000 feet. The river whose
source lies highest is the Indus, which
rises on the north of the Kailas Parbat
mountain. In Tibet. 22,000 fevt above
sea level.
A FAMOUS STAR GROUP.
The t'ovintellatlovi Orion In LeKfnd
and Literature.
The constellation Orion is mentioned
in the literature of all ages. In Egypt
It represented Ilorus, the young or ris
ing sun, In a boat surmounted by stars,
closely followed by Slrius, which was
shown as a cow. It has also been
found sculptured on the walls of
Thebes 5,000 years ago. And on the
men of that early time it shone down
from the same position and with thy
same brightness as It does on us today,
a striking example of the unchange
ableuess of the heavens.
From the days of the early Hindoos
to the present the constellation has for
some reason borne always a stormy
character. Allusions to Its direful Influ
ence are found everywhere amoug the
classic writers, Thus Milton wrote:
When with fierce winds Orion arrived
Hath vexed the Red sea coast.
The loss of the Roman squadron In
the first l'unlc war was ascribed to the
fleets having sailed Just after the ris
ing of i >rion. The group has also been
employed as a calendar slgu, Its morn
ing rising indicating the beginning of
summer. Its midnight rising the season
of grape gathering and its early even- j
lug rising the arrival of winter, with j
its attendant storms. In recent times i
the group has always represented a ;
great hunter or warrior. Its present
title came into Greek astronomy from
the Euphrates and originally signified
the light of heaven.
Henry \ 111. and I'll <1 il I n
BIulT King Hal, otherwise Henry
VIII. of England, was exceedingly fond
of puddings. At one time he gave a
certain Mistress Cornwallis a house in
Aldgate for herself and her heirs for
ever "in reward of fine puddings." In
King Henry VIII.'s private accounts
occur again and again entries of his
rewards to different housewives for
bringing him puddings. A typical in- '
stance runs thus: "Item. The same j
day paid to the wife that made tlie j
king podings at Hampton corte, \ is. i
vlijd." This would be about $1.75. but
Its value was much greater when the
entry was made, lhis love for "flue
puddinjjs" explains much in the fa
miliar rotund ligure of King Hal.

FRIENDSHIPS.
Mfferemeen Between Those of Men
iind Tliomi* of Women.
One difference between men and
women in their relation to friendship
is that a man's friends like him In
spite of himself; a woman's friends or
acquaintances care for her because of
herself, because of her powers of agree
ability, her tact or her charm.
A man may be as gr >uchy as he likes
oil occasion. He may swear at his best
friend and treat him a* cavalierly as
he pleases, yet that friend will wait In
patience for the old man to come
round." knowing well that beneath the
surface are a kindly heart ami a will
ingness to share a last crust with him.
With 11ei friends a woman may take
no such liberij The kind heart and
the go.>d intent inns count for nothing
beside a woman's bad manners and
lack of taste in the treatment of her
nearest and dearest, and condemnation
is - w i t and sure. Nothing excuses her,

these laws of a woman's making.
Rathei she gives up her friend and
contents herself quite placidly with an
other. But then, as we said before, a
woman lias no genius for friendship.

Here is an explanation of the old
horseshoe superstition: St. Duustau
was a skilled farrier. One day while
at w >rk in his forge the devil entered
in disguise and requested Duustau to
shoe his "single hoof." The saint, al
though he recognized his malign cus
tomer, acceded, but caused him so
much pain during the operation that
Satan begged him to desist. This St.
Duustau did, but only after he had
made the evil one promise that uelther
he nor any of the lesser evil spirits, his
servants, would ever molest the in
mates of a house where the horseshoe
was displayed.
A Ser\il«» limine of Lord*.
When King Henry VIII.s name was

with Asiatic servility. An entry iu thw
records of the house gives the suo
stauce of a speech delivered by the
chancellor on Jan. 10, 1541, in which
the king's goodness and wisdom are
extolled, and it tells us that whenever
! Ids majesty was mentioned, "which
I happened o ten." all the lords pros
trated tliei selves, bowing to the
j ground as one man.
