While the work it.in progress the light plant may he obliged to shut down at interval*. The boiler* should he cleaned at leant once everv year in order to keep theiu in good workiug condition to the end that n minimum of coat may be consumed. The boilers to be over hauled—the new Babcock water tube boilers —were cleaned last February. The other two, which were overhaul ed a few months ago, will not be open ed at this time. Owing to the use of boiler compound scale does uot accumulate in the tubes so rapidly as formerly when the water was introduced into the boiler with out being treated chemically,neverthe less it is always important that the boilers bo opened at regular intervals and their true condition learned. The process of cleaning under any condi tions is slow and difficult. The single set of boilers kept in commission will not funish sufficient steam to keep the light plant running all night. However, we have a near ly full moon, which, aided by the snow will light up the streets of town so that the electric light cftu ha easily dispensed with. REST HADE EASY.

Mrs. Wallerio Yeoziorski, of Slia mokin, was subpoenaed as a witness in the case of the Commonwealth vs. John and Rosie Suluswicz which was heard at the last term of the North umberland couuty court. When her name was called she did not respond. Like others of her kind she evidently felt no respect for the majesty of the law and had ignored the summons, so the court thought. The court thereupon deputized Court Interpreter Paul Fredrick to arrest Mrs. Y'eoziorski. Fredrick is general- i ly chosen for these delicate tasks be cause lie is better able to explain the cause of the trouble than is the ordin ary constable. He went to the small house in Sha mokin's foreigu quarter where lives the delinquent witness, intending to bring her to jail with quickness aud dispatch. "Where's your mother?" he asked the little girl who opened the door. "Ma's in bed," she replied. "Ma has twins," she added bashfully. "She-she has what" stammered the interpreter. "Ma lias twins," repeated the little girl. "I-I hope they're getting aloug nice ly. Good day.

That artesian wells would make a good sourre of supply the writer in not prepared to guarantee, hut ho dnon think it worth the experiment. The water froui the artesian wells sunk at the big mill was pronounced most ex cellent for drinking purposes. Artesi an wells, if of sufficient depth, are absolutely free from germs of injur ious character. We are now at what is dangerously near an epidemic of typhoid fever. In this connection an item in the Pliila del hi* Hies 9 n rereut date makes in teresting reading The city of Camden, N. J., which depends upon arte-ian wells, it was stated, had, duriug the year, a total • of five cases of typhoid fever, while Philadelphia, just across the Dela ware, which uses river water, counts its cases of typhoid fever by the hnn i dreds. The water of the Schuylkill is , 1 proverbial for its impurities, but that j i it is any worse than the water, which , i at all seasons of the year is pumped into our filter tubs isdobntful,indeed. As to artesian wells,how can the ex periment be made? It is too mnch to , expect council to risk any money on sinking wells. That body needs the 1 money for "commendable" improve ments. The otilv hope seems to be that some public spirited aud philanthro pic person or persons will come to ; the rescue, bearing the expense in- . oidentol to conducting a satisfactory experiment.

In order that the water may be cool aud palatable when need ed Mr. Miller, the janitor, boils one vesselful at five o'clock in the morn ing Another vesselful is boiled later in the day probably at evening so that it will be fit for USH the next moruiug.
