A bill of much importance to the citizens of boroughs and townships was introduced in the House at Har risburg yesterday, by Representative Jeffries, of Chester. The meusure provides for the election of two tri ennial assessors in "townships and boroughs which are now or may here after be divided into wards," and gives the Court power to appoint in cases of vaouuoy. The bill, In the opinion of many, should become a law. It would do away with ward assessors, and Instead of Shenandoah having five assessors, us now, under the provisions of the bill there would be but two, elected by the concurrent votes of the people at large. There is no question but that such a system would result in a more equitable assessment, and give greater satis faction. Tried Many Medicines .

Pitts burg Dispatch. Women Should Know it. Many women sutler untold agony and misery because the nature of tlfeir disease is not correctly understood. They have been led to believe that womb trouble or female weakness of some sort is responsible for die mnnv ills that beset womankind. Neuralgia, nervousness, Ijeadachc, puffy or dark circles under the eyes, rheumatism, a dragging pnin or dull ache in the baok, weak ness or bearing-down sensation, profuse or scanty supply of urine with strong odor, frequent desire to pass it with scalding or burning sensation, sediment in it sfter stand ing in bottle, or common glass for twenty-four hours, are signs of kidney and bladder trouble. The above symptoms arc often attributed by the patient herself or by her physician to female weakness or womb trouble. 1 ience, so mauy fail to ob'ain relief, because they ate treating, not the disease' itself, but a reflection of the primary cause, which is kidney trouble. In fact, women as well as men are made miserable with kidney and' bladder trouble and both need the same remedy. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is the great dis covery of the eminent kidney and bladder specialist, and is easy to get at any drug store for fifty cents or one dollar.

ROMANCE OF ALUMINIUM. now n It o m nn Artificer Stiirlleil Ti nerlns and Lost Ills lleinl. In "Xaturte Historiamm," where ref. erence is made to nn Incident in Roman history which up to the tlmo of Sainto- Claire Dcvllle has been overlooked by scientists for many centuries, says Aluml num, it la related by Pliny (98 A. D. to TO A. D.) that during the reign of tho Kmperor Tluerlus (II U. C. to 87 A. D.) a certain worker in metals (raber) ap. pearetl at the palace and showeu a beauti ful cup composed of a brilliant white metal that shone like silver. When the artificer was presenting it to tho emperor, lie puniosely dropped It on the floor of the clmmber. The goblet was so bruited by the fail that it seemed to be irretrievably Injured, but the workman took his hammer and iu the preMince of the court repaired tho damage without delay. It was evident that this metal was not silver, though it had almost tho same brilliancy, besides being much more duo tile and considerably lighter. The emperor questioned the artificer closely and learned from him that "lie had extracted the metal from an argillaceous earth, probably the clay known to mod ern chemists as alumina. Tiberius then asked if any one besides himself knew tho process and received tho proud reply that the secret was known only to himself and Jupiter. This answer was sulTioient. Tho emperor hod reflected tliat if it were pos sible to obtain this metal from so oommon a substance as clay the value of gold and silver would be greatly reduced, so he de termined to avert such a lamentablo oatAstropho. Ho caused the workshops of the discoverer tu bti wholly destroyed, and the luckless artificer was seized and de oupitnul, so tliat his secret might porish with him. JI. huinU-Clsire Deville had no doubt that this metal was aluminium, and he asserted that the wanton cruelty of Tiberius hod deprived the world of this valuable metal, which remained un known for 18 centuries. The extracting of aluminium, discovered by tho Roman craftsman In the first century of the Christian era, thus becume one of the lost art.

Fifty miles, to the southwest of Tucson. A. T., is a dreary rogion of desert a rug ged butte of roughly conical shape rises abruptly from the plain and points like a linger toward the sky. Hero and there its sides nre pitted with caverns, and alto gether Its appearance Is so weird that It Is no wonder the 1'nnngo Indians of tho ro gion regurd It with superstitious awe. It is called Rattlesnake rock because the an clent of all the rattlesnakes makes his home inside of It. Tills fact Is known positively, because ho has been seen many times, lliebutto Is a sacml place, and nobody ventures near it under ordinary eiruuuiMiinces, but candidates for aborig inal "diplomas'' as medicine men sleep hy It overnight nftcr fasting for a long time, and the big serpent comes out and leads them into the rock, whero in an lm inonso hollow chamber all sorts of potent things, such as siinkcs' skins, birds' claws, etc., are hung up. Tho uses of these for magical and curative purposes ho tenches to the novice, who is thereafter regarded by ills people as graduated iu tho arts of healing and sorcery. On tho Held of tho fight of Wounded Knee there was picked up an Indian baby not more than 3 months old, a llttlo girl. Sho was found st rapped to tho back of her dead mother, who was shot In tho ninssa ere. General Colby adopted tho child, to whom the namo Zlntka Lanunl (Lost Bird) was given and reared her as Ids daughter. Although tlio llttlo girl neither knows nor remembers any conditions other than thoso of civilization, sho has evinced ono very notablo Inherited trait namely, n fear of shadows. Sho Is greatly afraid even of her own shadow, and this would seem very surprising wore It not known (t hat Indiana, llko most other suv ages, regard n shadow as the ghost of the person or other object by whioh it Is thrown. Tho rules of conduct by which a savage must govern his llfo are vastly moro com plex than those which control a civilized man. This is becuuso of tlio multltudo of ghosts which surround him on every sido. Tho clvllizcd.mnn considers tliat ho is doing what is required of him if ho docs not disturb tho comfort of his neigh bors, but tho Indian Is obliged to behave himself In a satisfactory way In respect to rocks, in respect to deer, in respect to the sun and moon, and so on nd infinitum. Ho has an Inunlto number of neighbors, all of whom aro nono tho less real to htm because they aro phantoms to us. For ex ample, a certain lino of conduct must bo fulfilled by him In respect to rabbits; otherwise ho would not bo aide to catch any rabbits. Tho great ancient of rabbits permits some or his representatives to be captured only on tlio condition that cer tain forms shall bo oarefully observed by the cuptors. .livery tribe or Indians has its ghost places or devil places, which aro haunted localities. In tho country of tho Tulare Indians In southern California is an enormous granito bowlder which Is be llevcd to bo Inhabited by witches. It is known as witch rock, and nobody, least of all children, ventures to approach it." In tho lower part of it is a curious open ing, which has tho shapo of a cavern, and hero the witches aro supposed to dwell. Not far distant is a pool which Is supposed to bo occupied by tho devil. The waters of the pool aro dark, being stained witli some vegetable matter, and close by is a mineral spring, which lends additional mystery. That tho devil docs actually live In tlio pool Is indisputable, because practically every member of tho tribe has 6een him. Thoy go, a number of them together, and hold cncli other's hands while they watch for him, nud they never fall to seo him In the water. Ho Is always there, watching for somebody to conio along to bo gobbled up. To tho primeval savogo, ns to tho In dlan of today, everything "had its phantas mal essence, so to speak, and tho essence was more important than tho external properties of tho object. From this point of view a thing has a tangible shell, but within It Is contained a potency of spirit, This latter is tho ghost, which Is nt liberty to leave the object when it wishes. Of course tho savage has a ghost of his own, of which he is vaguely conscious. Among tho most appalling spooks that haunt the Iroquois is a carnivorous ghost In tho shape of a skeleton. Particularly malevolent spirits uro certain huge heads without bodies that go flying about, their long hair serving tluim in llou of wings. The Indians generally beliovo In super natural beings corresponding to our fairies and goblins, which havo local abiding plaoes well recognized ns such. They call them tne "llttlo people. Formerly there dwelt under Niagara falls a gigantic snako, which now and then would make Its way to an Indian vll lage In tho neighborhood and coll itself around the town. It swallowed tlio people who tried to esoape and rendered Itself further obnoxious by poisoning tho wells with Its spittle. Finally tho serpent was destroyed by a stratagem. It was so huge that wliun the people laid Us body out in death It stretched over more than SO arrow flights. Indeed when thrown Into the river It wits too large to pass tho rocks, so that It became wedged In between thorn, and the wuters roso over It, thus fashion ing tlio horseshoe, which remains to this day. The Cherokees are very much afraid of certain mythical horned alligators which are supposed to reside in several different plaoes In deep holes In the rivers, There is one locality In Oklahoma whero a crea ture of this description has an under ground tunnel from one river to another. Iu the southern Alleghany region on the dl,iuing ridge Is nn enchanted lake that Is the haunt of several monstrous animals posMMstil of magic powers. One of tiiese is a great snake, which lins the power of fascinating Its human victim, and it is so poisonous that a single drop of Its spittle falling upon a person Is death. Kqunlly formidable is im. enormous leech which lives in the HlYTOsee river in tlio same country. Oocusiouuily a certain ledge of rook Is exposed when the water is low, and any ono who attempts to walk across it Is Inevitably snaked down. In the In dian mythology nearly every animal is descended from an uncestral giant of fero cious and dangerous attributes, which was finally destroyed by some tribal hero.

"A friend of mine who has been too busy with tlio problem of ways and moans to pay much attention to the adornment, of ids house asked ine yesterday to select for hint a good piece of colonial mahog any, ns he wanted to have one suolt piece In his house, and I declined to do so until I li'' explained to lilm the cost," said n scenic artist whoie lioue is ono of tho show places in a town near New York. "I knew that his furniture was oak and upliolstenM stuff, and that Just so sure ns he placiil wltli It a good exatnptu of old mahogany Ids troubles would liegln. The mahogany would kill his oak, and In course of time It would mean the refur pishing of Ids house. "Ills was a ease of Ignorance being bliss, and I did not propone to tippet ids household. I have seen the old mahogany disease work its way into many house holds, and in many oases the results havo been disastrous. Talk about having a mortgage on your house, why, that is nothing compared to tho annoyance of finding that you havo a lot of modern oak furniture on your hands too good to throw away when you have once ix'gun to col lect old pieces. It lias taken mo nearly ten years to lho down a collection of oak furniture which I made In St. bonis and which has hung over me llko tho shadow of a great sorrow. I was boarding in St. Louis and doing work on a big produc tion, when my wlfo and I decided that wo didn't like boarding and that wo would try housekeeping. I had no time to spend In looking for a house, so we took the first one that wo could find. Wo spent just one afternoon In furnishing it completely dishes, draperlos, rugs, carpets and an outfit of very now oak furniture. Tho re suit was just wdiat might havo been ox jiectod. Our house looked llko a Grand Ilnplds showroom. Wo moved to New York, leaving behind as much of our oak furniture as wo could, but when wo got settled hero wo found around us a lot of It which was too good to givo away and which we could not sell. "I had picked up by this time a few old pieces of mahogany, and tho moro I studied them the more I dospNed my oak. Tliun I built my house, und I was forced to move somo of those pieces Into It. I havo been crowding theni out by dogrccs over since, however, and now I haven't got one modern oak pleco left. In tho mean time I havo watched friends struggle with their modern furnlturo after they had picked up tin old pleco or two, and their troubles luve boon llko nilno. When my friend asked nio yesterday to select un old picco for him, I told hlni wlmt I havo told you, and I said that if after thinking It over for a week ho still wanted to mako tho plunge I would help him. Ho will probably want to begin on an old chest of drawers, for that is usually the opening wedge, and then old andirons, tables with claw feet and corner cabinets will follow, concluding with chairs, and tho latter will keep him poor for the rest of his llfo. It's llko tho opium habit, and you can't shako It off." New York Sun. A Remedy For the Grippe. A remedy recommended for patients af flicted with the Grippe is Kemp's lialsam, which is especidly adapted to diseases ol the throat and lungs. Do not wait for the first symptoms of the disease, but get a bottle to day and keep it on hand for use the moment it is needed. If neglected the grippe lias a tendency to bring on pneumonia.

Tho king ordered him to construct a sowing machine, mid, not daring to disobey orders, ho at ouco Set to work. All went well until ho enmo to tho location of tho needlo's eye; then his troubles liegan. Tlio king grew impatient and finally gavo the inventor just 21 hours in which to complete tho machine nnd told him ho must forfeit his llfo if ho failed to finish tho task. He worked harder than over, you may be sure, but found that ho could not invent a pnipar nocdlo nnd had to givo It up, Just ns tho king's warriors wore about to tako him away to execute him ho noticed that the spears they carried were pierced near tho head. Like nn Inspira tion the solution of tho needle problem camo to hlni, and while Imploring tho savngo king for a llttlo moro tlmo ho awoke. Although It was but 4 o'clock In tho morning, Mr. Howo arose nt once and went to his workshop, and by 8 o'clock ho had modeled a needle for ids sewing ma- chlno with an oyo at the point. Thus was tho perplexing problem solved. New York Telegram. Colloiiseiil OH.
