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

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.

GEESE GO NORTH;
MEANING WHAT?
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.

ON THE HIGH SEA
; Richard Miller, son of Chailes C.
Miller, this city, a seaman on board
of the Torpedo Boat Destroyer U. S.
8. Preston, lias written a letter home
to his parents desribing a great speed
reconl recently made by the boat he
is on.
The letter, which was written at
Charleston, S. C., says: "We left
League Inland, Saturday, January Stli
for Newport, R. I. SVe arrived there
Sunday morning, and on Monday we
left for Charleston. 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.
Forty members of the Nescopeck
Athletic association have agreed to
pay $lO each to back a baso ball team
for the coming season. With a park
and a balance in the treasury from
last year it is considered that amount
will be sufficient to run the team with
gate receipts. Eacli member giving $lO
will receive a season ticket.
Duck Raised in Nail Factory.
W. S. Risliton, the well known
Bloomsbnrg druggist, had a duck for
dinner yesterday which Jiad evidently
been raised and nurtured in a nail
factory. In the bird's craw were
found 74 nails ranging from 3 ., of an
inch to l>a inches long. Each nail
had been worn smooth ami also the
sharp eud of all the nails had been
worn off, probably digested.

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.

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.

111 WILL SHE
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. lit.
Six thousand street car men of the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit company
voted togo on a strike at ouce.
Major Reyburu announced today
that ho would run the cars with pol
icemen and firemen. He says that the
street car line is for the service of the
public and that therefore the men in
the employ of the public should be
pressed iuto service to operate.
Lest the employes of the company
should make trouble, the mayor has
also provided six cases of rifles to ov
erawe the strikers and prevent a dis
turbance, or to heat them back if they
attempt to stop the cars.
The men voted throughout the night,
holding secret sessions, aud did not
finish until four o'clock this morning.
The men claim the company did not
act in good faith.
REAPING BENEFIT
From the Experience of Danville People.
We are fortunate indeed to be able
to profit by the experience of our
neighbors. The public utterances of
Danville residents on the following
subject will interest and benefit thous
ands ot our readers. Read this state
ment. No better proof can be had.
"Mrs. William Robenolt, 304 Church
St., Danville, Pa., savs: "I do not
think there is a kidney remedy mi the
market equal to Doan's Kidney Pills.
I suffered a great deal from kidney
complaint and backache and whenever
I brought, any strain on the muscles
of mv loins, such as is done when
stooping or lifting, sharp pains would
catch me through my loins. Doan's
Kidney Pills, which I procured at
Hunt's drug store, disposed of every
symptom of the trouble. I could not
have hoped for greater benefit than I
received."

cents. Fostei-Milbnrn Co., Buffalo,

401 Conversion* >o 10-Day Revival.
There were 401 conversions in a ten
day revival held by Rev. L. K. Pea
cock in the auditorium at Zelionople.
In addition hundreds of people signed
pledges never to \ .lay cards or dance
again. Alter the hist service twelvo
young men went lo the room of the
revivalist and t.issing a pack of cards
at his feet pronii.-ed never to play
with them again. Latei ten young
women called to pledge themselves to
dance no more.
It is a dangerous thing to lake a
cough medicine containing opiates
that merely stifle yonr cough instead
jof curing it. Foley's Honey and Tar
loosens and cures tiio cough and ex
! pels the poisonous genus, thus preveut
j ing pneumonia and consumption. Re
