A small army of engineers has been on a “forced march” up the Yough and Casselman valleys for several weeks past, running lines of survey, but for whom and what, has been the question of the hour. By some it was claimed to be the P. & L. E., intending to ex- tend its lines from New Haven east- ward. Our first reliable information as to identity of the work, was in the fact that certain supplies were furnish- ed by the Western Md. Ry., which, of course, is a Wabash property, which convinced us that the work here is in the interest of the Wabash. That in- formation we obtained several weeks ago. Since then the Western Md. has has bought the George's Creek Ry.. which connects it with Frostburg, and the engineers who ran the survey enstward from here, moved a few days ago from Confluence to Mt. Savage, which 1s about 12 miles air line from Meyersdale. It is a very practical, comparatively easy, and shorter route, thas to follow up the Yough and Cas- <»lman to Meyersdale, and thence to where the George’s Creek is reacheds than any other route thinkable. Surely it is only a question of time when some corporation will cover that route, whatever may be the purpose of the present surveys.—Turkeyfoot News. a GIVE YOUR STOMACH REST. Nothing will cure indigestion that doesn’t digest the food itself, and give the stomach rest. You ean’t expect that a weak stomach will regain its strength and get well when it iz com- nelled to do the full work that a sound <tomach should do. You wouldn’t ex- pect a sick horse to get well when it is compelled to do a full day’s work every Kodol Dyspepsia (‘ure is a perfect digestant and digests the food regardless of the condition of vour stomach.

I wish all a merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year.” our friend Spar as THE SEASON OF INDIGESTION. The season of indigestion is upon us. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure for Indigestion and Dyspepsia will do everything for the stomach that an over-loaded or over-worked stomach can not do for itself.

Judge Porter, of New Castle, has de- dided that a railroad cannot hold or take a lien on merchandise for non- payment of demurrage for car service after 48 hours, holding that the right to a lien ceases when the cars are deliver- ed on a siding or main track. The road can only recover as a common debt. The decision was made in the case of Wallace Bros., lumber dealers, who enjoined the Baltimore and Ohio railroad from retaining merchandise for demurrage. Judge Porter said the question has been decided in other states, but never before in Pennsylvania. PT. ARTHUR'S FLOATING MINES. | 4 Menno to Navigntion-—Nany Ha. ploded Floating mines from Se Arthor continue a menace to navigation. The Hsinch, from Tien-Tsin reports | | ; DECADENCE OF CHEWING. Desler Attributes the Falling OF to War on Spitters. “The crusade against expectorat- | ing in public places has cut into the i i sighting one of these drifting dan- | gers. The engines were stopped for upward of an hour; th captain and officers endeavored to explode it by means of rifle shots. The firing prov- ipg fneffectual, a boat was lowered in charge of Mr. Miller, the chief offi- cer who placed the mine in tow, but after towing for two hours it explod- ed with a terrific report. Capt. Pratt of the steamer Yushun reports a floating mine which was exploded at 100 yards’ range. This is thought a safe distance. The only thing to be careful of is to have sufficient over- head covering as a protection against falling fragments. The steamer Kungping reports sighting a large spiked mine twenty-three miles from Howski Island. Rifle shots were fired at it, and the mine exploded, several fragments of it falling upon the deck of the vessel.—Pekin Times. The Pope's sig It is impossible to fix the exact in- come of the pope, because the sources by which his settled income is large- ly augmented are subject to great fluctuation. Such is the annual sub- sidy called ‘Peter's Pence,” and the innumerable thank- offerings which he receives every year from all parts of the world. It is thought proba- ble by authorities who have the best means of judging that, taking one year with anoth:r the average an- nual income of the pope cannot fall short of £600,000.—Exchange. Radium for Snake Bite. It is worth noting that the recent- ly reported “‘cure for rattlesnake venom’ was based on a communica- tion to the French Academy, an- nouncing that snake vemon exposed to the action of radium rays for fifty or sixty hours, loses its virulence. As snake bite produces its poisonous effects on man in from five minutes to an hour, the practical application of the fifty or sixty hour radium treatment is somewhat remote. Chinese and Electricity. As the completion of the electric tramway draws near the rumors among ignorant natives grow apace. The latest is that 500 Chinese heads must be procured and buried under the power house before the ‘‘kreta hantu’ can start running. In con- sequence of this ’‘riksha coolies re- fuse to take fares into the eountry districts at night.—Free Press, Sing- apore. Social Make Believe. There is an element of the nursery in the diversions of society. They go to Cowes and play at being sailors, having never been at sea except on a Channel steamer; they go to Ascot and play at being turfites; they go to the Opera and play at being musical critics; they go to salons and play at being politiclans.—The London World. Diamonds and Lead Poisoning. In order to reduce the danger of lead poisoning, te which diamond- cutters are now subjected because of the alloy of lead and tin used for holding the diamonds during the cutting process, the Dutch govern- ment has offered a prize of’ 8,000 florins for a satisfactory sigbstitute to be used instead of this alloy. The Latest Submarine. The latest style of submarine boat with which experiments dre being made is a little English midget thirty-four feet long, armed with two torpedo tubes and carrying a erew of three men. It can be transported on a railroad truck, or hoisted over the side of a battleship with the greatest ease. A Costly Uniform. The most costly uniform in Eng- land is worn by the Earl Marshal, whose dress represents an outlay of $1,250, not including jewels or or- naments. Seventeen thousand yards of embroidery are worked upon the coat in gold lace until but little of the original cloth may be seen. An Electric Sprinkler. The city of Hartford, Conn., has the distinction of being the first to use an electric street sprinkler. The water tank resembles that of an or- dinary horse drawn street sprinkler, but the vehicle is driven by a storage battery, and is able to cover in a day twice the ground covered by a sprinkler drawn by a team of horses. —Exchange. No Listeners. One of the chief causes of the dul- ness of life is the inablity to listen which you find in nine people out of ten. The extraordinary selfishness at the root of this defect is a shock to the optimist who is anxious to think well of human nature.—The Lady. In the House of Commons. In the British House of Commons is a red line between the benches and the matting on the floor, which no member may overstep in speaking. This line is a relic of the days when members wore swords and eculd not be trusted within lunging distance of the other side. Weight of the World. The present weight of the world is estimated at 6,866,860,000,000,- 000,000,000 tons. If the weight of the atmosphere is added to this we have a grand total of 6,866,285,- 819,800,000,000,000 tons. tobacco business,” customer. a tobacco cutter on my counter and a boy was so engaged in cutting plugs for the customers that he had little time for anything else. “Now we cut up a few plugs in the regulation size and put them in a canister. Twenty-five cuts will last several days where we used to sell that many in a half day. How- ever, what we have lost in that way is more than offset by sales of cigars and cigarettes and smoking to- bacco. “The war on spitters has stopped all that.” Largest Map in the World. The largest map in the world is the ordnance survey map of Eng- land containing 108,000 streets, and costing $1,000,000 a year for twen- ty years. The scale varies from ten feet to one-eighth of an inch to the mile. The details are so minute that maps having a scale of twenty-five inches show every hedge, fence, wall, building and even every isolated tree in the country. Curing Facial Defects. Professor Lassar, a famous Ber- lin skin specialist, has found means to restore red noses to their normal color and uses. An instrument, shaped like a large tooth brush, with forty platinum wires instead of bris- tles is used, and this is connected with an electrical machine. The treatment consists of hammering the lurid nose till it bleeds, when the treatment is stopped for a day. Wives Bought by the Foot. The Chinese purchase wives by the foot, but the smaller the meas- urement the greater the cost. When 2 Chinaman of the wealthier class desires to marry he sends around. for samples, and finally selects a foot that suits him and is within the reach of his purse. A difference of an inch or so in the length may make a difference of several thou- sand dollars. Post Cards in Battle. Before going into action each Ja- panese soldier fastens to his coat a special post card provided by the government announcing the fact of his death and addressed to the per- son he desires notified. : ° After a battle these post cards are gathered from the bodies of the slain and are taken to regimental headquarters, where they are stamp- ed with the seal of the regiment, which officially certifies to the fact of death. Shoddy British Lords. The noblemen of England have queer ways of changing their names. The original cognomen of the Duke of Northumberland was Smithson, the assumed name of the family Percy; the Marquis of Lansdowne was Petty and afterward Fiteman- rice; the Marquis of Inglesey was Baylay, then Paget; Marquis Coying- ham was a Burton; Lord Ventry was a Moleyns; Marquis of Tullibardine was a Murray, ete. An Island of 160 Inhabitants. Pitcairn Isiand is a lonely little spot of land in the southern Pacific. It has 169 inhabitants. Their only link with the outside world is a cut- ter of fourteen tons, which, with luck, gets to a neighboring island now and then, whence about four times a year communication may be established with Tahiti. Revival of an Old Custom. Showers of rose leaves figured in a recent English wedding instead of the usual rice and confetti The old Romans made considerable use of rose leaves both at feasts and dra- matic performances. They used them also as perfumes to saturate and refresh the air. Chinese Temples for Schools. The imperial decree regarding the appropriation of temples for schools, says the Shanghai North China Her- ald, is being carried out in Anhui. At Luchoufu, four very large images, servants to the god of Literature, have been torn down to make room for little Chinese boys to study Eng- lish. Value of One Fir Tree. A fir tree has been cut in Oregon recently, which made nine sawlogs averaging 14 feet in length, scaling 21,488 feet board measure. The product of this one tree will bring more than $1,000. Rojestvensky’s Salary. “You cannot always judge a man’s brains by his salary,” said Ar- nold White, lecturing to workingmen in London recently. ‘ ‘Togo gets £648 a year, while Admiral Rofest- vensky’s salary is £11,000.” Sunday Sport in Hawali. The Hawaiian legislature has passed over the governor's veto a law allowing baseball and similar amusements on Sunday and permitt- tug cigar and many other stores to remain open on that day. fiznall Towns Decreasing. urns from the Massachusetts 5 census show a decrease in the Jeon of the small towns since census of 1898.

Although the rock itself is less than three miles long, three guar- ters of a mile wide and 1,439 feet high, it has been the bone of con- tention among all nations during all ages. In less than 470 years four- teen sieges occurred upon its sur- face, one being of nearly four years’ duration. During these years of deadly strife Moslem fought Chris- tian, and Christian fought Moslem, the Spaniards finally conquering fit ic 1500. It remained in their pos- session for nearly 200 years, when an English fleet, not desiring to re- turn home without a prize, surprised the fort and captured it. From that day (1704) on it has remained un- der the English crown, growing stronger and more powerful each year. Many attempts have been made to regain it, but without suc- ‘cess.—Era Magazine. Alfonso’s Favorite Author. King Alfonso has a fair claim to be regarded as the best educated of our .rowned heads. He is a lin- guist, being familiar with French, Italian, German, and English. He never travels without Goethe, Schil- ler, and the Austrian poet Grillpar- zer, whose name will be new tc most people. Of the ancient class- fecs King Alfonso prefers Horace, many of whose odes he has transla- ted into Spanish. Moreover, he rev- els in mathematics and history, and adores drawing.—London Chroni- cle. Fish by the Billion. One no longer speaks of hatching thousands of young fish by artificial means but of millions and hundreds of miilions. The number of eggs, fry, fingerlings and adult fish dis- tributed by the United States Bu- reau of Fisheries in one year aggre- gated 1,600,000,000. That these fisheries are industries to-day, is due entirely to artificial propaga- tion. Empress of Japan's Pipe. A silver tobacco pipe with the stem ten inches long is used by the Empress of Japan. The bowl is small; in fact, only a quantity of to- bacco sufficient to give the smoker two or three whiffs can be put into it, then the ashes are knocked out and the pipe is carefully cleaned be- fore {it is refilled—a process gonc through many times in the course of an afternoon. ; Model Train Wreck. In a train wreck on the Missouri Pacific Railway every car except one went into the ditch at the side of the track but not a person on the train was seriously injured. The train was running at twenty-five miles an hour, yet not a car was damaged by the sudden stopping. The cars were new and heavy and of firm steel framework. * Censors. Large cemeteries have a censor who prevents the erection within them of tombstones with unseemly inseriptions upon them. Atheists sometimes direct in their wills that shoeking blasphemies be carved on thelr monuments. The censor, how- ever, sees to it that these blas- phemies do not disfigure the ceme- tery. . Methodist Progress. We record with sincere delight and thankfulness that the Wesleyan Methodist Church reports the largest increase in her membership for more than twenty years. The pro- gress which shows’ that there are nearly 27,000 more in the church than a year ago, is largely due to the revival in, Wales.—British Week- ly. The King Edward Coin. Of late quite a number of natives of West Africa have practically re- fused to accept any other coin than that having the profile of King Ed- ward engraved upon it. They have an idea that now Queen Victoria is dead the British government may re- pudiate coins bearing her image. A Whistle For Use in War. A doctor in the Japanese Red Cross service has invented a whis- tie which emits a very loud sound with a very slight expenditure of breath. It is for the use of soldiers when they are wounded and desire to attract attention. It ean also re- place the identification tag. Hypnotism and Crime. A Boston scientist says that the best hypnotist in the world cannot make a really moral person do wrong, From experiments he has made he believes that 76 per cent. of the human race, if unrestrained by family pride and other like econ- siderations, would steal. Russians Not Cruel. A Moscow writer, J. Novcow, says that Russians are among the least cruel peoples of Europe, instancing in proof that no popular sports of a brutal character, such as cock fights, even boxing or pugilism, are ever ob- served among them; much less is Iyneh law to be met with. Women ss Porters. The porters who carry the bag- gage of tourists on the island of Ca- pri are mostly women. The men are busy as fishers, coachmen, cobblers and coral sellers. Cost of War.
