The publishing of the Tri-Week-ly

subscribers to same now receive the

When the first census was tak
en in this country, the preachers

In an address before the Lu
zerne county teachers institute on
Thursday of last week Dr. Charles
W. Kent said there should be no
female teachers In the High schools
because the boy prepared by a
woman, instructor does not possess
individuality. Nearly his entire
audience was composed of female
instructors, in the schools, who aim
to obtain the highest possibilities in
the teaching profession and the ad
dress caused much comment among
them.
The State Pharmaceutical
Board had twenty merchants of
Scranton and sixteen of Carbondale
arrested last week on the charge of
violating the pure food law.
Agents of the board have been In
both cities for some time analyzing
flavoring extracts, principally pep
permint and other articles of food,
and found that a great deal of it
had been doctored with drugs of
various kinds. They were given a
hearing before alderman Millar of
Scranton, who put the costs of pros
ecution on them and, after they
promised to be sure that they were
obeying the law in the future, were
discharged.
An exchange remarks that this
is the way papers will write up wed
dings ten years hence: "The bride
looked very well In a travelling
dress, but all eyes were centered
upon the groom. He wore a dark
suit that fitted his form perfectly
and in his dainty gloved hands he
carried a small rose. His curly hair
was beautifully done, and a delicate
odor of hair oil of the best quality
floated down the aisle as he passed.
The young people will miss him now
that he is married. He is loved by
all for his many accomplishments,
his tender grace and his winning
ways. The bride commands a good
salary as bookkeeper and the groom
will miss none of the luxuries to
which he has been accustomed. A
crowd of pretty men saw them off
I at the depot."
Oft times when we walk down
the street we pass some man or
woman whose hair is silvery white
and whose body is bent by age. The
clothes may be shabby, the old age
may have had an effect upon their
appearance, but they were once
young and full of life and hope, but
Old Father Time crept upon them.
Now old and unable o perform la-
Bbor, they walk the streets. Each
and everyone no doubt has done
something for the betterment of
Mankind. Their mind and bodies
lay be feeble, but they too have
fond recollections of the bright and
aunny days that we now enjoy. A
tclnd word often relieves these hearts
3urdened with age, and we should
lave reverence and respect and an
Outstretched hand full of charity for
buch people, for It Is only a matter
at time until old age will creep up
n us. Some will be more fortunate
gain of this world's goods and for
jbls reason the less fortunate should
bo held in the highest esteem by
those whom good fortune has smll-
H upon.

cultural Boclety for promiums at tho

If a man thinks a great deal of
his wife, he gets lots of nice things
for her when she is sick, which ho
eats himself.
Theodore Bried, who has been

The Sunday morning train over
the D. & H. brought a large number

son, it is said.
Prof. Cornell, who resides at
Hotel Wayne, has in his possession
a hymn book, published in Germany
over two hundred years ago. It is
very Interesting to look at, and Mr.
Cornell seems pleased to show It to
those who desire to see it. It is
quite a curiosity.
The young married Indies of the
Presbyterian church gave a supper
last Friday evening, and it was a
good one. The proceeds, which
amounted to $40, go to help the
Ladles' Aid Society pay the amount
of ?S00 which they subscribed to
wards liquidating the church in
debtedness. The skeleton of a monstrous
bear, possibly of pre-hlstoric days,
was unearthed by workmen in a
sand pit at Norwich, N. Y., last
week. The bones were found seven
feet below the surface. The same
pit has previously produced two hu
man skeletons and many specimens
of flint implements.
For the first time in twenty-five
years or more, potato balls have been
numerous this season. Years ago
every potato vine bore from ten to
twenty of these seed balls, but they
suddenly ceased to appear and many
reasons have been given therefore.
Conditions of forty years ago and
more seem to have returned. Ex.
The case of Irwin Hazen vs.
Wayne county was settled. Last
year1 a verdict was given in favor of
the county, but a new trial was al
lowed to the plaintiff who claimed
?3,000 damages for injuries receiv
ed by falling down an embankment
at the Eddy bridge at Hawley. Set
tlement was made for ?600 and
costs.
Experts In cut glass recommend
the following as the best method of
cleaning cut glass articles: Wash the
glass thoroughly with warm soap
suds and cover with sawdust. As
soon as the sawdust is dry, brush the
article very carefully with a soft
brush, reaching all the crevices. It
will come out as clear and sparkling
as a bubble fresh from the pipe with
out injury to the polish.
About one hundred and fifty

to a marked degree, and is happy

A good joke on a Honesdale
editor who went one evening to re
port a party at a home recently
blessed with a new baby. He met
the hostess at the door, and after
the usual salutations, he asked after
the baby's health. The lady who
was quite deaf, and suffering with
the grippe, thought he was asking
after her cold and answered that
although she usually had one every
winter, this was the worst one she
ever had; it kept her awake at night
a good deal and at first confined her
to bed. Then noticing that the
newspaper man was getting nervous
she said she could tell by his looks
that he was going to have one just
like hers, and asked him to go In
and sit down.

Just as the crisp air of the morning

thrown. After they are thoroughly
saturated the patient takes them up
one at a time and rubs them briskly
up and down on a washboard placed
In the tub. This is kept up until
the hands, arms and face are a glow

Into the open air and hangs all the
