MOTHER'S WAY. Oft within our little cottage, As the shadows gently fall. While the sunlight touches softly One sweet face upon the wall, Do we gather close together, And in hushed and tender tone, Ask each other’s full forgiveness For the wrong that each has done; Should you wonder at this custom At the ending of the day, Eye and voice would quickly answer, “Jt was once our mother’s way.” If our home be bright and cheery, If it hold a welcome true, Opening wide its doors of greeting To the many—not the few ; 1f we share our Father’s bounty With the needy, day by day, "Tis because our hearts remember This was ever mother’s way. Sometimes when our hearts grow weary, Or our task seems very long; When our burdens look too heavy, And we deem the right all wrong, Then we gain a new, fresh courage, As we rise to proudly say: “Let us do our duty bravely, This was our dear mother’s way.” Thus we keep her memory precious, While we never cease to pray, That at last when lengthening shadows Mark the evening of life’s day, They may find us waiting calmly To go home our mother’s way. Woman has yet to learn the purify- ing and blessed influence she may gain and maintain over the intellect and af- fections of the human mind. Though she may not teach from the portico nor thunder from the forum, in her secret retirement she may form and send forth the sages that shall govern and renovate the world. Though she may not. gird herself for bloody conflict, nor sound the trumpet of war,she may ar- ray herself in the panoply of heaven and send the thrill of benovelence through a thousand youthful hearts. Though she may not enter the list in legal collison, nor sharpen her intel- lect amid the passions and conflicts of men, she may teach the law of kind- ness, and hush up the discords and con- flicts of life. Though she may not be clothed as the embassador of heaven nor minister at the altar of God, as a secret angel of mercy she may teach His will, and cause to ascend the hum- ble but most accepted sacrifice. So great is the mind of a sweet mind- «d woman on those around her that it i« almost boundless. It isto her that we all go in seasons of sorrow aud sick- ness for help and comfort; one sooth- ing touch of her kindly hand works wonders upon the feverish child; a few words dropped from her lips in the ear of a sorrow-stricken sister do much to raise the load of grief that is bowing its vietim down to the dust in anguish. The husband comes home worn out ‘with the pressure of business, and feel- ing irritnble with the world in general, but when he enters the cozy sitting room, and sees the blaze of fire, and meets his wife’s smiling face, he sue- cumbs in a moment to the soothing in- fluences which net as the balm of Gil- ead to his wounded spirits that are wearied by the stern realities of life. The rough school boy flies into a rage from the taunts of his companions to find solace in his mother’s smile; the little oue full of grief with its troubles finds a haven of rest on its mother’s breast. and so one might go on with in- stance after instance of the influence that a sweet-minded woman has in the social life with which she is connected. Beauty is an insignificant power when compared with hers. There is no sadder sight than a wo- man who, marrying a man to save him, finds that she has failed in what she has sought and lost her own life in the struggle. Have we not all seen the gradual degradation of the woman who isbound to a dissipated man? She loses hope und faith. Shame and de- spair cover her as with a garment. If she lives with him her conscience is wrung with the horror of bringing forth children who shall be like kim. However tender and refined her na- ture, daily contact with what is coarse and brutal willjdebase it. If love for a maid will not make a man see the foolishness of sin and abandon it alto- gether, love for a wife will not help him in the slightest degree. Love is a powerful stimulant. It appeals to the body, mind and soul of a man,and bids him strive for the best. It rouses his ambition, it urges him to industry, it wakens in him a passion for the noble and beautiful in life. If under the press and with the help of such emotion he does not turn at once with disgust from whatever evil has been in his past life, there is no hope for him. Corrup- tion has taken hold of him ; sin is so in- herent that!the inspiration of love can- not save him. “THE CALL OF MOTHER. You are tired tonight. You expect- ed this morning to have an “easy day,” but you have answered to the call of “mother” until the sun is set and its departing glory almost makes you long for the beyond. Now there are the children to be put to hed. Your limit- ed ciréumstances may not permit you to have a nurse, but remember, you can not keep them with you long. and your patient service will be richly re- warded. Death wounds deeply, even if we have been kind to our friends. Comb the golden tangle carefully, smooth the pillow and straighten the little dream-dress, and laying your cheek close by your little darling, listen to “Now I lay me,” and then wait pa- tiently for the ruby lips to slowly ask God for some wished for toy. Kiss a fond “good-night.” In short, lock the door of the day gently and leave the child theart-happy. Let none of the shadows that come with riper years slant athwart the youthful threshold of the soul. The weary foot that rocks the cradle may be lulling a future president or governor. Rock on, fond mother, sing your lullaby. God has use for the frail humanity that smiles in its infant dreaming. Never let dis- content enter your happy home. Keep a cheerful tone and a helpful hand, and answer the call of “mother!” meer A L1QUID COLD CURE.

A witness is sworn in court to “tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth,” but he dares not .tell anything that the attorneys do not ask for. If there is something not brought out which the witness knoes about the case, who is to blame? He is sworn to tell the whole truth and not allowed 10 do so. There is something wrong with such doings. Another thing: A bailiff is sworn to take a jury to a room and keep them there “without meat or drink” till they render a verdict. If a jury is made to suffer for want of anything, they are not as apt to render a just verdict. They will get impatient and resentful, and unless very, very conscientious. they will more readily agree to any- thing to get out of the uncomfortable room. It would be better to give a jury a more comfortable room and not allow them to have cards, ete., to pass the time away. They should be given “meat and drink,” but required to put in all the time considering the ques- tion which they are to decide, says an exchange. A FEARFUL FATE. It is a fearful fate to have to endure the terrible torture of Piles. “I can truthfully say,” writes Harry Colson, of Masonville, Ia., “that for Blind, Bleeding, Itching and Protruding Piles, Bucklen’s Arnica Salve is the best cure made.” Also best for cuts, burns and injuries. 25c. at E.

Kline has just completed a careful estimate of what the popula- tion of Pennsylvania will be on Janu- ary lst, 1906. Mr. Kline's figures are 7,562,688. The census of 1800 gave the State a population of 6,305,115, showing the present estimate to be an increase of 1,204,423 souls. At this rate of in- crease Pennsylvania would have about 8,750,000 in 1910, Marriage Licenses. Griffith Llewéllyn............ Windber Sarah Pearson................ Windber ; Elvin H.

The opening of a tract of between 800 and 700 acres near the foot of Tire Hill, in Conemaugh township, with a railroad outlet to the B. & O. just above Hogback Tunnel, is a new fea- ture of the unusual activity in coal business developed about here recent- ly. W.H. Morris, of the Stonycreek Coal & Coke Company, acting for a coterie of eastern capitalists whose names have not been divulged, has se- cured all the required options, and it is stated that they will be taken up and an opening made as soon as prac- ticable. Among others, the tract includes 250 acres belonging to J. L. Yoder, 90 acres now the property of John Kauffman, and 50 acres of the David Berkey farm, upon which the opening will likely be made.—Johnstown Democrat. A nice line of fancy outings for Kim- onas, at Cohen's. Two from the Carleton (Neb.) Leader. F. P. Beachy came home Saturday evening from far-off Canada. Always glad to see you, Frank. At a business meeting in Morrill, Kansas, the Rev. Dr. John C. Mackey was re-elected pastor of the Pony Creek Brethren church to serve until April 1st, 1907. This will be the fifth year of Dr. Mackey’s pastorate in the Pony Creek church. A year ago the Pony Creek congregation effected a union, and in the following June Dr, Mackey removed to the parsonage here, changing the pastoral residence, with consent of both Shughes: from Mor- rill, Kansas. to Carleton, Nebraska. The understanding now is that Dr. Mackey will serve both churches dur- ing the period above stated. Floeking to This Country. Scores of immigrants are arriving in Western Pennsylvania daily. Carrying all their possessions securely packed in .n small trunk or large bundle, they present an interesting sight. Many of the foreigners are Poles, although Ital- inns predominate. This is largely due to the recent earthquakes in Calabria, Italy. These disturbances rendered thousands of people homeless and many sought refuge in the United States. Steamship agents say that the number of immigrants this fall is out of all proportions to the usual number. There seems to be every indication that plenty of employment can be se- cured by immigrants during the winter. A member of the Italian colony de- elares that Italian immigrants are ar- riving at the rate of 20 per day.—Con- nellsville News.

SIMPLE LIFE IN ICELAND. MWe Liquor Manufactured, No Jails and Only One Policeman. There are no manufactories in the | country. Each home is a factory and every member of the family a hand. | Shoes are made from goat skins. The long stockings worn over these in wading through the snow are knitted by the women and children, and even the beautiful broadcloth comes smooth and perfect from the hand loom found in every house. This simple life is conducive to a state of high morals, higher proba- bly than in any other part of the world. There is not a drop of liquor manufactured on the island, and for the 78,000 population there is but one policeman. There is neither a jail nor any place of incarceration for criminals; nor yet is there a court in which a high erime could be tried. The percentage of crime is =o small that it does not warrant the ex- pense of keeping up a court. When a criminal tr'n1 becomes necessary the offender is taken to Denmark to answer to the law for his misdeeds. The women are among the most advanced in the world. Bridal Wreaths of the Nations. The bridal wreath is usually form- ed of myrtle branches in Germany; it is made of orange blossoms in France and in England; in Italy and the French Cantons of Switzerland it is of white roses; in Spain the flowers of which it is composed are red roses and pinks; in the islands of Greece vine leaves serve the purpose, and in Bohemia rosemary is employed; in German Switzerland a crown of ar- tifical flowers take the place of the wreath.—Exchange. Solomon's Children. A curious, and for many centur- fes strangely isolated human relic of the past, a tribe inhabiting the islands of Lake Zuai, in Abyssinia, which claims to be composed of de- scendants of King Solomon, has been visited by M. H. le Roux, the well- known French traveler. The tribe now amounts to about 4,000; the language is a mixture of Abyssinian and Tigrean. Facts About the Eye. The eye of a young child is as transparent as water; that of the youth a litttl less so; in the man of 80 the cve begins to be slightly opaque; in the man of 60 or 60 it is decidedly opaque, and in the man of 70 or 80 it is dull and lusterless. This gradual development of opacity is due to the increase of fibrous tis- sue and deposit of waste matter in the eye. Immigrants to Hawaii. The local Japanése press says that the Tokio government has issued a new order, which went into effect re- cently increasing the number of fm- migrants per steamer to Hawalil from 100 to 400. Half of this number may be laborers, the other half wo- men and children.—8an Francisco Chronicle. Time's Revenge. Russia, during the war in1877-78 against Turkey, was foremost in introducing torpedo boats in naval warfare. Now it iz mainly to those very torpedo boats that she owes the destruction of her navy.—Tribuna, Rome. A Composer's Fee. Dr. Richard Strauss gets $500 as an honorarium for conducting a per- formance. It is supposed to be the largest fee paid to a composer for conducting the reproduction of his own works. A Clever Ruse. During the examinations at Bel- grade University a professor saw the boys buying cakes in the campus. He bought one and found that like the others, it contained the solution of one of the problems. Awarding Medals in England. Medals are cheap in England. The nurse who attended the Duke of Connaught, when he had some skin scraped off in an automobile acci- dent recently, has received the Vie- torian medal from King HEdward. The American Woman's Home. Hundreds of thousands of Ameri- can women are born, live their lives and die in boarding houses or hotels without ever finding time to create a home for themselves, or without even feeling a desire to do so.— House Beautiful. Germany's Textile Center. The Ruess district is one of the principal textile centers of Germany. Since the introduction of the woollen dress goods industry great wealth has been amassed, and the city of Geva has grown to number 40,600 inhabitants, against 15,000 in 1864. India’s Foreign Trade. India has three and one-third times as much foreign trade as Ja- pan; three times as much as China, easily beating Italy and Austria, also Belgium, and surpassing the Rus- sian empire by 25 per cent.
