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.

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.
To prove its wonderful merits you my
have a sample bottle and book telling all
alxut it, both sent absolutely free by mail.

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. The lialsam
prevents this by keeping the cough loose. All
druggists sell the Balsam.

The Heir 1 11 it' Mnclilnp .Voeille Wnm In
voliiril In Sleep.
V own the invention of tho sowlnir
machine tn Kilns Ilown, an American tnn
clinnlc, as yon all knuw. Ha had a largo
fninlly to euro for and could clvo only his
odd moments to tho construction of his
machine. Hut whlln laboring for dally
bread .for bliusulf nnd his family ho was
constantly thinking out his Invention.
Ho sot on nulte well until he enmo to
tho making of n needle.; then ho was at a
standstill, for ho could not discover where
tho eyo of tho nocdlo should m placed. At
first ho thought that a needle fashioned
nftcr tho ordinary uccdto for hand suwltig
might lxi nil right, but after much experi
menting ho found that It would not do.
IIo-wos greatly perplexed. The nocdlo
question absorbed his thoughts by day,
and at night he dreamed nbotit needles.
Ono night ho dreamed that lid was In n
far distant country that was ruled over
by a sange king. 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

In this last rcipoct Is that tlio yellow oil

From tho soap stock that comes from

itself made from tho oil Is used extensively
by tlio woolen mills of this und other
