Tri e the electric railways are a
benefit to the town, but that is no rea
son why they should inconvenience
the residents of the borough by piling
up great banks of snow on the streets
and luukiug these thoroughfares im
passable. It is a nuisance that no
community should tolerate in jus
tice to itself.
A Philadelphia lawyer on Satur

The success of the Herald, poli
tically and otiierwise, is a bitter
pill to some people. What is more
to the point, is these same people do
not deserve success themselves.
Nearly every newspaper in the
region published the fake story about
finding the dead body of William
Scar, the P. & K. track walker, in a
snow bank at East Malmnoy Junc
tion. The HERALD, however, on the
same day that tho story originated
published a denial and gave a true
version of the affair.
The Sinews of War.
Among the freshest news, tho most
constantly varied, often practically
the most interesting that appears in
the newspapers are well-written ad
vertisements. Without advertise
ments successful newspapers would
be impossible und they would cease
to appear. By their agency till can
learn where best and cheapest to
supply their wants, and by advertise
ments all can make their wants
known.
It is the task of the journalist to
furnish his readers with a paper which
shall perform the double functions of
narrating the story of the world from
from 3uy to day, and of epitomizing
(Commercial or political information.
To render his paper an aceptable
medium to the public who want to
sell or buy, the journalist must offer
the advantage of a good circulation.
To obtain this circulation he must
provide the news-seeking public with
the freshest and fullest information
gathered from every corner of the
earth.
The gathering and publishing of
news is an expensive process, but for
this the advertising columns must
furnish the "sinews of war." The
first-class newspaper attracts the
iirst-class advertisements; the adver.
tisements, in large measure, enable
the publisher to create and maintain
the first-class newspaper.
The guerrilla warfare that is being
waged against Councilman Boehm by
certain unscrupulous people with
have axes to grind, can only result in
one way the re-election of the prat-
ent Councilman from the Second
ward. The people of that ward know
their wants, have sufficient intelli
gence to exercise the rights of fran
chise without outside Influence, and
we violate no oonfldence in saying
that they will rebuke any attempt at
dark-lantern politic. Mr. Boehm
has held many reK)nsible positions
in the borough, served two terms as
Chief Burgess, and during that time
but Hfty dollars was drawn from tho
borough treasury to pay his salary
undisputed evidence that he per
formed his duties equal to. and in a
majority of oases superior to, those
who preceded or followed him. As a
member of Council Mr. Boehm has
pursued the same course, advocating
every measure in the interests of the
taxpayers, and opposing the plunder
ing of the borough treasury. In all
the years that Mr. Boehm has been
tiefore the public, no one ever qties

The everyday snylngs wliloli nro on
everybody's tongue sometime havo a
fiiroff origin, nnil It is interesting to learn
when anil by whom they wero first said.
The society editor could ill describe a
fortlvlty without the aid of "tho wee sum'
hours ayont. tho twnl," which is found in
Hums' iKK-iii "Dentli and Doctor Horn
brook." Dniiclng In never tlnnolng, but
people "trip tho light, fantastic too," for
which expression tho editor is indebted to
no lets a personage than John Milton.
"Conspicuous by his absence" wns used
by Lord John Russell, who quoted it from
Tacitus. "And echo answers whero" is
from Lord Uyron'u "Bride ot Ahydos."
"It beggars description" is found In "An
tony and Cleopatra." "Whero ignorance
Is bliss 'tis folly to bo wise" was said by
Gray in hi 'Ode to Kton Oollcgo."
"Well bepun is half done" may be traced
back to Horace. "According to her gar
ment she i ut her cloth" was said by Dry
den In "The Cook and Fox." Sir John
Holt In "Sir William Morris' Cuso" said,
'The lietter tho day the better the deed."
"Out of sight, out of mind" dates baok to
156i! and is found in Qooge s "Kpytaphes,
Eglngs, and Sonnettes." "And there,
though last, not least," is from Skclton's
Colin Clout, and "Through thick and
thin" from tho "Fnery Queen."
Rare IJen Jouson gives tho advice to
"Laugh and bo fat." Ono of Bishop
Homo a sermons is tho sourco of "It is
better to wear out than to rust out."
Georgo Wither in a "Poem on Christmas"
gives tho warning that "Care will kill a
cat," and a couplet from John Wolcot's
"Expostulary Odes" contains tho same
sentiment:
Care to our coflln adds n nail, no doubt,
And every grin so merry draws one out.
"Nothing venture, nothing have," is
found in " Five Hundred Points of Hus
bandry," by Thomas Tusser. Churchill,
In "Tho Ghost," said, "The more haste
tho less speed. To go in ono ear and
out at tho other" probably had Its origin
In Chauocr's "One caro it heard, at the
other it went out."
Prior, In his"EpiloguotoLuctus," gave
us an adago which is in uso overy day.
"Tho gray mare will prove the better
horse." " My dear, my better half , " was
said by Sir Philip Sidney, in 'Arcadia."
"Sauco for tho gooso is sauce for tho gan
der" is from "Tho New Maxims of Tom
Brown," and another proverb often exem
plified is from n fable by Gay:
In every aso and clime we see
Two ot a trade can ne'er agree.
Ben Jonson, in "The Devil Is an Ass,"
says that "A burnt child dreads tho Are."
" 'Tis good to look before you leap"
comes from Martin Parker's "Excellent
New Medley." Goldsmith tells us that
"Man wants but llttlo hero below-"
"Coming events oast their shadows be
fore" is found in "Lochlel's Warning,"
by Campbell. "Discretion Is the better
part of valor" occurs In Beaumont and
Fletcher s " A lung and No King, and
Shakespeare uses almost the same words
In " nenry IV' ' ' ' Tho better part of valor
Is discretion, in which better part I have
saved my life."
Many other sayings have been used
with slight variations by several authors.
"Comparisons aro odious is found In
Burton's "Anatomy of Melancholy," in
Heyward's "A Womnn Killed by Kind
ness," in Donne, and In George Herbert.
In "Don Quixote" wo read that "Com
parisons are offensive." Thomas a Kem
pis says that "Of two evils tho less Is to bo
chosen," and in Prior's "Imitations of
nornce" wo find, "Of two evils I have
chosen tho least." Wordsworth Is respon
sible for tho statement that "Tho child is
father to tho man," but in "Paradise Re
gained" Milton had already said:
The childhood shows the man
As morning shows tho day.
Tho changes have been rung on the ex
pression "All is not gold that glitters."
Middleton gives "All is not gold that
glistens." Spenser, in tho "Faerio
Quoeno," says, "Gold is not all that gold
en bcems. ' Lydgato has "in all that
glisters gold all is not gold that outward
showcth light." Drydcn's version is "All,
as they say, that glistens Is not gold,"
and Chaucer, In the "Canterbury Talcs,"
says tho sarao thing, but with more cir
oumlooutlon: But I think that which schtneth as the gold
Is naught as that I have herd tell.
"There's luck in odd numbers," Lover
makes Rory O'Moore say. And in "The
Merry Wives of Windsor" wo find "Good
luck lies in odd numbers, thoy say
there Is n divinity In odd numbers, either
in nativity, chance or death " "Heaven
never helps the man who will not act,"
said Sophocles, and Sir Philip Sidney put
the same idea in smaller compass In "God
heljis those who help themselves."
"Holy" George Herbert Is the author or
compiler of many shrewd sayings, such as
"Wouldst thou have thy cake and keep it
toof" "The wearer knows whero tho
shoe pinches," "Little pitchers havo wide
ears," "It is poor sport that is not worth
the candle," "God's mills grind slow but
sure," "Half the world knows not how
the other half lives," "His bark is worso
than his bite, " "The burnt child dreads
the ftr, " "The mill cannot grind with
water that is past, "Whose house is glass
must not throw stones at another," "God
eomeg to see without a bell," "An ill
laborer quarrels with his tools," "To a
close shorn sheep God gives wind by
measure." This is probably tho origin of
the proverb "God tempers tho wind to tho
shorn lamb," which was said by Sterno in
"Tristram Shandy." Herbertalso quotes
"Man proposes; God disposes." This
was first said by Thomas a Kempla.
A great many of our common sayings
tire taken from Shakespeare. "As dead
as u door nail" and "To give the dovil his
iue" are from "Henry IV." "My oako
is dough" is from "Tho Taming of tlio
Shrew." "Screw your oourage to tho
(ticking place" is found in "Macbeth."
Borne quotations from Shakespeare are
tredited to the Bible, as, for Instance,
That bourne from which no traveler re
'urns,' which Is used by worthy deacon
nce a week in prayor meeting in the be
lief that It is a Scriptural quotation.
Beaumont and Fletcher are responsible
for several much used sayings, such as
"Beggars should never bo choosers,"
found in "The Scornful Lady," and "Ono
man's meat U another man's poison,"
which is taken from "Love's Cure," and
in Butler's "Hudibras" ooour "To take
the wrong sow by Um ear," "To get by
hook or orook," "To count their chickens
ere they're hatched" and "To smell a rut."

It is this wuudei fill pieparutiuu Unit has
enabled so many people to retain their health
mil enjoy a good old ige. Thonsntids of
men and womeu are kept alive tu-day en
tirely by it use. Here Is one case. It Is
that of Charles Jacobs, residing in Wayland,
Mass., ho has been a sufferer from kidney
I rouble, and lor mouths be was unable to cat
nny solid food. Ho U now ill far better
Ucalth than he ever was, and ho says he owes
his life to Warner's Safe Cure. His letter Is
as follows :
"For four years I had heeu a terrible suf
ferer from kidney trouble, and was at last
reduced to such a debilitated condition that I
was unable to do the slightest work.
"I consulted a physician in. Waltham, and
he prescribed for me, hut I steadily grew
weaker under his treatment.
"Ho said there was nothing moro that any
one could do for me.
"I felt rather discouraged upon receiving
iuch Information, hut I determined to make
tuother effort, and consulted a specialist in
kidney diseases, located In Boston.
"This physician told mc that he could euro
me, but, after taking five or six bottles of
his medicine without relief, I again became
discouraged, and gavo up hope.
"To add to my agony tho specialist in
formed mo that ho had done everything in
nis power for me, and ho advised me to go
home and take no more medicine, as my lease
of lile was about ended.
"A few days later I ran across an adver
tisement of Warner's Safe Cure and was
struck with the testimonials of some of the
people that claimed to have been cured of
kidney trouble by Its uso.
"I purchased a bottle of Warner's Safe
Cure, and I have thanked the Lord many
times since for throwiug that advertisement
iu my way, as I firmly beliovo that It was
the means of saving my life.
'I uad not taken more thai half a bottle
of the medicine beforo I began to feel better
"Tho sovere pains that I had suffored for
months became less severe, and when I had
finished tho bottle they had entirely dis
appeared. .
"I continued taking the medicine until I
finished eight bottles, and I am free to say
that to-day I am stronger and healthier thau
I ever was before In my life.
"Can you not sco the way clear now to
long life and renewed health and vigor ?
Let me, by all means, adviso you to follow
this good advice, aud follow it now."

In tho morning, the flshoruicn In all cases
being required to uso the boats that aro
kept for hire. This is to prevent the banks

Early ono October morning the editor of
ono of the great Chicago dallies appeared
at a West SIdo park with a friend, both
equipped with Ashing outfits of tho most
approved pattern. They scoured a boat,
and then the editor Inquired if there wero
any live minnows on hand.
Tho keeper of tho boathouso inspected
his bait bucket and found just ono, e,
diminutive specimen about an inch and a
half in length. Ho fished this out and
handed it over. Handing him a silver
half dollar and tolling him to keep tho
change, tho editor took tho minnow,
climbed into the boat and rowed out to
the mlddlo of the lako, where ho fished for
half an hour without result.
At tho end of that time ho hauled in his
lino, looked carefully at tho minnow,
took a iMjncil and notebook from his

DANGEROUS HABITS THAT MAY DRIVE

Little Trluks Tlint Are Liable to De

Iticurnlilo The Mnrlilil nr of
Mildness nnil Its Itesiilt,
It was Hornco, the old Latin poet, who
proclaimed tho reully happy man to be ho
Who understood tho causes of things.
And If this be true of anything It is true
of insanity. Wo nro nil of us llablo, by
pursuing certain lines of conduct, to bo-
coino mnd, and It is important that peoplo
should know exactly what thoso linos of
conduct are.
Thero Is a far too prevalent notion that
it needs an overwhelming disaster to
throw n sound mnii off his mental bal
ance, and that, given health and brains,
ono can afford to bo very careless with
them. As n matter of actual fact, how
over, n man's mental health mny bo upset,
ns can ins physical, by an accumulation
of little things, trilling In themselves, but
in tho nggregato sulllclent to mako him a
posltlvo danger to society.
And among theso "llttlo things" nro
habits. It seems really dreadful to reflect
that thero nro some two docu of thoso
which, iK-rfectly Innocent, wilt novortho
less, if adopted, render ono insano, but It
is so.
First of all thero Is tho reckoning
mania. Its effects nro far worso than tho
name Implies, though Us beginnings aro
of tho slightest.
In tho first stago tho person Is seized
with a deslro to count something. It
may oven commenco with his checking
tho number of pacos ho is taking or by his
adding up too many columns of figures.
Then, as the habit grows, his state gets
worso and worso. Ho can do nothing,
say nothing, think nothing without this
torrlblo desire to count coming over him.
It Is impossible for him to follow any
occupntlon, and his conversation is con
stantly Interrupted by his attempting to
add something up, no matter what, if it
is only tho pieces of furniture In tho room.
very frequently It is not till tho last
aud most acute stage that tho patient
goes to sco tho doctor. Then, as a rule,
something very oxtraordlun'ry happens.
The jiatient commences to state his com
plaint and then breaks oft hurriedly.
"Excuso mo a moment," ho says, and
then when the physician notices that tho
number of buttons on his waistcoat are-
being counted ho knows ho has a "reck
oner" to deal with.
Tho fact that the reckoning mania is
almost Incurable nnd that Its beginnings
aro so exceedingly slight shoidd make ono
doubly cautious of contracting It. Tho
patient will count everything, from chim
ney pots to raindrops, and his mind Is
always in a ferment of reckoning.
Another habit mania, and ono a great
man contracted to wit. Dr. Johnson is
tho tapping mania. With him it took tho
form of topping every post ho passed with
his walking stick, just as with the great
Napoleon tho reckoning mania caused
him to count tho houses in the streets ho
drove through, two by two.
Unfortunately, however, we have not
all tho energy of will and robustness of
mind of theso two Titans, and tho result is
that with ordinary mortals tho tapping
mania is apt to havo torrlblo results.
Tho lengths to which it will carry a
man it is jiosltlvely awful to contemplate.
should it happen that ho omits to tap or
touch tho object as ho passes by It ho will
return to do so, and ho ends by topping
overy object of that kind that he sees.
Tho fact that once a man's mind gets in
the habit of dwelling on one idea or bo-
comes obsessed by it he Is extremely liable
to go mad Is illustrated by an extraordi
nary enso that, wore it not vouched for on
unlmpcaohablo solentlflo uuthorlty, one
would roject as Incredible.
A well to do retired man of business
mnde a habit of noticing the faco and
features of almost overy woman ho came
in conti et with to see If sho wero pretty
or not. So fiir did this mania go with
him that on one occasion, when he had to
tako a railway journey from Loudon to
Manchester, tho fact that ho forgot to dis
cover what tho London station barmaid
was like so annoyed him that ho actually
traveled back to town to discover. This
Is tho clearest case on record of a man go
ing mad from habit.
There is a well substantiated case of a
man who, Imbued with tho notion that
13 was an unlucky number, could not
keep It out of his calculations. Every
thing ho saw, everything ho was engaged
in, seemed to him to suggest tho fatal
number until at last melancholia ot tho
most pronounced kind rendered him unfit
to bo ut largo.
If you havo over visited n lunatio nsy
lum, you will have found at least ono
lunatio who persists lrrwalklng round and
round n more or less accurato clrclo,
And If you had been nblo to trnco out tho
oauso of his Insnnity you would havo
found out most probably that ho went
mad originally through his seeing some
circular motion and feeling impelled to
imitato it.
It might havo ovon been that a hum
ming top caused him to get up and run
round and round the room or that ho
started to do so when playing with n little
child. Too much waltzing has oven been
known to produce tho same mania in a
mild form, and tho habit of running,
walking or oven writing in circles, n form
which has an extraordinary attraction fpr
some people, Is invariably attended with
disastrous results.
But quito tho most dangerous habit of
mind, that Is and ono against which
readers of this article should bo warned Is
tho fear of Insanity, which, strangely
enough, frequently Induces it. English

What Shall We Do.
A serious and dangerous disease prevails
in tins country, dangerous because so decep
tive. It comes on so slowly yet surely that it
is often firmly seated before we are aware of it.
The name of this disease which may be
divided into three distinct stages is, First,
Kidney trouble, indicated by pain in the hack,
rheumatism, lumbago, frequent desire to
urinate often with a burning sensation, the
flow of urine being copious or scant with
strong odor.
If allowed to advance, this reaches the
Second stage, or Bladder trouble, with heavy
pain in the abdomen low down between the
navel and the water passage, increasing de
sire to urinate, with scalding sensation in
passing, small quantities being passed with
difficulty, sometimes necessary to draw it
with instruments. If uric acid or gravel has
formed, it will prove dangerous if neglected.
The Third stapc is Itright's Disease,
There is comfort in knowing that Dr.
Kilmer, the groat kidney and bladder
specialit', has discovered a Remedy famous
for its marvelous curat of the most distressing
cases and known as Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. It is sold by all druggists.
As a proof of the wonderful virtues of this
great discovery, Swamp-Root, a sample bolllc
and bookof valuable information will be sent
absolutely free by mail on application to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. When

SOME FACTS REGARDING ilID HAl'ID
INfREASB OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Hot Co Alarmed, But Look For The
Cause.
Heart trmibles, nt least among tho mcrl
euns, aro certainly inuressitig and while this
may h largely due to the excitement and
worry of American business life, It Is muio
often tho result of weak stomachs, of poor
digestion.
Ileal org nils disease Is huu able ; but not
one enso In a hundred of huiirt trouble is or
ganic. The close rulatiun between heart trouble
mid poor digestion is bcoauso both organs aro
controlled by tho same . great nerves, tho
Sympathetic mid I'nciimognsttic.
In another way, nlso the heart Is affected
by the form of poor digestion, which causeB
gas and formoutation frnn half digested
food ; There is a feeling of oppression and
heaviness In tho chest caused by pressure of
tho diatom! ed stomach on tho heart and
lungs, interfering lth their action ; lance
arises pnlpllntiuu and short breath.
Poor digestion abo poisons tho blood,
making it thlu and watery, which irritates
and weakens the heart.
Tho most sensible treatment, for heart trou
ble Is to improve the digestion aud to Insure
the prompt assimilation of food.
This cin bo done by the regular use after
meals of some safe, pleasant and effective
dlgestlvo preparation, like Stuart's Dyspep
sia Tablets, which may be found at most
drug stores aud which contain valuablo,
harmless digestive elements In a pleasant,
convenient form.
It Is safe to say that the regular persistent
use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at meal
timo will euro any form of stomach trouble
except cancer of the stomach.

Cancer.
Having observed that In cortaln forms
of cancer the lymph glands aro not affect
cd nt all, Dr. Herbert Snow, an English
cancer specialist, has been led to tho Inter
esting and Important conclusion that It Is
tho function of theso glands to resist and
actually destroy tho cancerous growth.
This takes place up to a certain point.
The gland is eventually overpowered by
numbers, but the contest Is often an ob
stinate one, and tho number of Infective
particles killed must bo very considerable.
An Important Question.

In the forests of Saxony, Germany, are
thousands of thatched huts in which dwell
the makers of the celebrated "French"
dolls. Not many years ago a traveler rid

have seen drying in the sun bofore the
quoor houses thousands upon thousands

tho day of "composition" heads, but now
tho doll heads nro manufactured of bisque

piled full of beautiful new dolls, taking
back to their pitifully poor homes the
blank heads, wigs, kids for the bodies,
hands and feet and other parts to be used
in the next week's work.
The father works dally in tho forests,
and all the rest of the family engage
heartily in tho work of dollraaklng. The

With Hornco Greeley years ago," said Mr.
Albert Caldwoll of St. I-ouls. "It was in
the lively times Just preceding tho Groo oy
arnnt campaign. My father was then
living at Utlca, N. Y., and became Inter
ested in somo )lltlcnl scheme I don't
know wlutt alxiut which it was consider
ed very Important to obtain Mr. Greeley's
advice. After much consultation ho was
sent as a cominltteo of ono to Now York
city to lntorvlow tho great editor.
"When ho arrived, lie found It almost
impossible to secure nn audience. Greeley
was besieged by nil army of all kinds of
peoplo; big party lenders from hero, there
and everywhere wero constantly flocking
in to hold conferences. Tho management
of The Tribune was still on his shoulders,
on top of everything clso, nnd ho found It
necessary to bar tho way to his ofllco by a
corps of underlings and secretaries. My
father tried vainly for soveral days to run
this gantlet, and at last ho succeeded In
making 1111 appointment. Ho was greeted
at tho hour named by an assistant editor,
who took lilm nsldo and strongly im
pressed upon him tho necessity of stating
Ids caso briefly nnd plainly.
"Ho also hinted tlint Greeley's tompor
was ono of tho host nnd urged him to con
suino as little timo as possible. With
thoso Injunctions in his ear ho was ad
mitted to tho inner sanctum, whore ho
discovered tho editor seated alono at a
largo dosk. For some moments Greoloy
paid no attention to him, but seemed lost
in thought. Then ho turned abruptly.
" 'Aren't you a member of the Chockor

greatly startled by tho lrrelovnnoy of tho
question and managed to reply that ho
was. 'H-m-ml' said Grooloy. 'Do you
piny a pretty good gamef 'Fair,' said
my fnther, still more astonished. At that
Greeley opened a drawer, took out n
checker sot and invited my father to lw
seated. 'I'll try you a gamo now,' ho
said.
"Thoy played for about two hours,
whllo tho crowd chafed and clamored out
sldo. According to my father's account,
thoy tied, and ho won the rubber. During
tho games Greeley never said a word
about politics, and my father was so in
terested and I dnro say so oxclted by tho
novelty of the situation that ho clean for
