Foreign Geography. Children of Luropeau birth who were old enough to receive some instruction In geography before coming to this country hold opinions in regard to the political ('lvisions of the earth which ;:ll the American geographers and the teachers thereof combined cannot up root. A New York teacher found that out when slio tried to Imprest* upon a young Austrian miss that Colutubus Is the capital of Ohio. "It is Cincinnati, on the Ohio." re- Inrted the Austrian maiden politely, but firmly. Maps and printed text were produced to prove her error. Tho pupil was iu uowlse convinced. "It wasn't that way in our geogra phy at home," said she. And the next day, to uphold her contention, she brought the geography on which she based her assertion. That book was uot a perfect product of the geography maker's art, for it certainly did state that Cincinnati, on Ylie Ohio river, was the capital of Ohio. "Hut that Is a mistake," said the teacher. Then day after day, when tho girl was called upon to recite, the teacher put the question of discord. "What Is the capital of Ohio?" and day after day, at the risk of bad marks, came the positive reply, "Cincinnati, on the Ohio."—New York Press. Whelks' Eggs. Natural soap is not heard of very of ten, but it not only exists, but is highly prized by Jack Tar la tho tropics when the purser reports Hint the ship's sup ply of soap has given out. Then all hands are sent ashore to gather a sup ply of "natural soap," which Is found on the shore In the shape of whelks' eggs. The whelk is a little shellllsh, or marine mollusk, which In Europe Is eaten like mussels, cockles, oysters and clams, but In the tropics it Is more highly esteemed for the soap It provides in the shape of Its eggs. The eggs are found In a light yellowish mass which is composed of somo five or six hundred capsules. One fish alone produces millions of these eggs in tho course of tho year. They are found on the shores of the Atlantic, but are very profuse on the intertrop ical coral reefs, where sailors take large quantities aboard for use as soap. His Memory. "Has he a good memory?" "No, just a common, ordinary, every day memory. lie remembers people who owe him money much bettor than those to whom he owes money."—De troit Free Press. STATE'S WAR ON TUBERCULOSIS That the State aid extended to tub erculosis sufferers through the depart ment of health dispensaries is reach ing the really needy is evidenced by careful statistics that Health Commis sioner Dixon lias just compiled. Those statistics which are based npou a total of 9,363 patients examined at the dis ponsarios, of whom (1,728 were found to have tuberculosis during a period of seventeen months ending December 31, 1908, show that the average family income in the homes fiom which these patients came was $24.63 per month. The average number of persons in the family was 4.38 and the average per capita income was $5.60. "These facts are particularly gratifying said Dr. Dixon Saturday. "With the thousands of tuberculosis patients whom we are asked to help it is quite possible that occasionally the State's charity is im posed upon. We are fully justified, however, by the tabulated records, in drawing the conclusion that the really needy poor among Pennsylvania's un fortunate victims of tuberculosis are the ones that are being helped, just as the law making the appropriation con templated. " An interesting study of the possible source of infection can be made from the dispensary statistics. In 2,404 cases,there was reason to believe that the disease was contracted in the home from another member of the family. This shows how important is the work which the visiting nurses of the dispensaries are doing in teaching the members of the household how to guard against being infected by one of the family who has the disease. In 474 cases the possible source of infec tion was a fellow employe. Fully alive to the danger from this source the State department of health lias communicated direct with all the largo employers of labor throughout the State, urging the necesssity of fre quent medical inspection and calling attention to the State's dispensaries where suspected cases among the poor will be examined at any time free. FUNERAL OF L. ALLEGAR Levi Allegar, whose death occurred Thursday, was consigned to the grave in Odd Fellows' cemetery, Saturday afternoon.

During Friday evening a large flock of geese flew northward up the North Branch. They were flying compara tively low, as though they were pre.- paring to alight for a night's roost in one of the forests north of Williams port. While it is very unusual for wild geese to be seen thereabouts at this season of the yoar, it was more strange to see them moving in a north erly direction. It is the custom of the big birds to fly north along the Sus quehanna on their way to the lakes in the spring and tlieir coming there ord inarily foretells the approach of warm weather. In the fall they fly south, and their flight is taken as a sure sign that cold weather or a storm is ap proaching. Rivermen and hunters who saw the geese are puzzled as to what the pre sence of the birds in this vicinity por tends. They say if the season was several months later, the birds would probably be on their way to the lakes or Hudson bay to .spend the summer, and that a spell of warm weather might be expected. They cannot be lieve that spring like weather is fol lowing in the wake of the geese that flew up the North Branch Friday even ing. They incline to the view that the geese have been blown far out of their way by a wind storm and that they j have been wandering about bewilder- I ed in the snow storm.

The distance is nine hundred miles, which we covered in twenty nine hours, nearly thirty two miles an hour. It was very rough when wo left Newport and our boat being light was tossed on the waves like a cork. SAD DEATH A very sad death occurred on North Mill street Tuesday afternoon when Raymond Anderson, a seventeen-year old boy, died suddenly as the result of an abscess in the head. The deceased boy, who was the son of Mrs. Annie Anderson, was taken ill about a week ago, but was not consider ed in a serious condition. He was suf fering witli an abscess in the head, which broke Tuesday afternoon, caus ing almost instant death. It proved a dreadful shock to the family, as, although the boy suffered a great deal during the last three days, such a thing as a fatal termination was scarcely dreamed of. Raymond wouldjhave been eighteen vears old in April and was a bright and lovable boy. Mrs. Anderson, the mother, is the widow of the late Edward Anderson. Two brothers—Edward and Harry— and one sister—Viola—also survive. BLOCKING CROSSINGS The recent arrest of an engineer on the Pennsylvania railroad for block ing crossings on the south side has not sufficed to put a stop to the ob jectionable practice. On Sunday the main crossing at Itlie steam mill was blocked for flfteeu minutes. The full measure of incon venience to traffic that is entailed at that point will be appreciated when it is explained that at such times as the present when sleighing is good teams pass over the crossing at the rate of about one a minute. In some instances engineers and conductors are considerate and the trains are cut at the crossing. The greatest negligence is practiced at the lower crossing west of the freight house. A freight train one day last week, it is stated, was permitted to block the crossing there for thirty five minutes. It frequently happens that school children are held up at that crossing and are compelled to stand in the snow until they freeze their feet. Now and then a boy or girl weary of the long wait yields to temptation and crawls through under the train, taking risks that are fearful to contemplate. 40 Ne»copeck Fan» Pay $lO.

I!, coin MAKESJEW RULE The State railroad commission, which has been flooded with compla ints by people who set forth grievances against railroads and then fa led to prosecute the cases when the commis sioners invited them to do so in a reg ular way, has determined to put into force a new rule which will dismiss such complaints when the person mak ing tliem fails to follow up. This rule will provide that when a complaint is entered and the complainant fails to make it according to the practice of the commission within fifteen days the matter will be marked off the docket. The rule will require that forms and all necessary papers for the presentation of a complaint in a sys tematic way be sent to every person asking its aid and in addition copies of the rules of practice will also be sent. The position is taken by the commission that many ]>eople write to the commission simply as a means of easing their minds, while others send in complaints which are not set forth clearly or which aro so manifestly trivial that the commission has to send letters asking for specifications or in stance. It has frequently occurred tliat people have ignored these requests for further informal ton, while a number of cases are known where the com plainant having written to the com mission finds that Iheraiload company lias remedied the matter and then lets the matter drop, the commission not receiving any further information on the subject. The new rule will effect ually stop such procedure, it is believ ed. The ]K>sition taken by the commis sion in its annual report relative to the holding of a railroad company to a quoted rate,although it may vary from a published rate, has attracted much attention. This stand, which is de cidedly different from that of the In terstate Commerce commission, will probably result in closer attention to published tariffs than has been given lately. The commissioners believe that their comment upon the present confusing tariff sheets will bring about more intelligible publications. How'i Thi» ?

SINGULAR ADVENTURE On last Saturday while Dr. Everitt, the well known physician of Millville, was taking an appendicitis patient to the Joseph llatti hospital for an op eration the horses ran away and caus ed an uiwet. The patient proved the hero of the hour by seizing and con trolling the horses while the doctor, who was pinned under the broken sleigh, managed to extricate himself. The patient was Matthew Lawton, a well known resident of Millville. He was in a very serious condition and prompt action was necessary. Dr. Everitt telephoned to the hos j pital to have everything in readiness for immediate operation and at once j started for Blooinsburg with the pati ent. Unfortunately the physician was disabled as the effect of fractured wrist. All went well until they reach ed a point near Mordansville, when the horses took fright and rm away. The sleigh was upset and badly broken the doctor being pinned underneath the wreckage. At this juncture Mr. Lawton, for the moment forgetting his jiain and keenly alive to the doctor's peril flow to the horse's heads and succeeded in quieting them while his companion crawled out from under the sleigh. Another sleigh was procured anil physician and patient continued their way to the hospital. Simple Remedy for LaGrippe. LaGrippe coughs are dangerous, as they frequently develop into pneumo nia.
