THANK GOODNESS.
The worst part of the heat wave Is over. According to the weather
prophets brisk northwesterly winds with possible showers will be the order
of the next few days and then it is expected that the temperature will be
normal again. We hope that the weatherwise are right. Honesdale has
been very fortunate during the recent spell In that no fatalities were re
corded as due directly to the hot weather. May such good fortune con
tinue. :0:
A CURE FOR SNAKE RITE.
The snakes, because of the drought these days, are driven out in search
of water and persons camping in the woods and clearings and fields near
the woods should be on the alert. If by chance a person should get fanged
It Is well to know a cure and If one follows the directions here given fatal
results will not follow the -ranging.
Permanganate of potash, not whisky, is the remedy for snakebite.
No yarn has done more harm than the yarn of whisky cure. There is noth
ing worse for snakebite than alcohol In any form. If a man who has foeeu
snakebltten wishes to develop a severe case of poisoning, let him dimk
whisky. Its effect Is frightful. It excites the heart and drives the poison
through the system.
In a case of snakebite take a stick with a string attached to It, a tour
inquet. Tie this tightly round the limb or body above the bitten place. Ap
ply permanganate of potash and wet It; spittle will do If nothing else Is
available.
Permanganate of potash cures all kinds of poison bites.

THE MONUMENT PROJECT.
The enthusiastic support awarded the plan for erecting a monument
to the Stourbridge Lion and' Horatio Allen is a great encouragement to the
able committee In charge. As an example of what other papers in other
places think of the project we quote a few lines from the Personal and
Pertinent column of the Scranton Times as follows:
" I am greatly pleased to be able to announce the earnestness and in
terest that our neighbors of Honesdale, across the Moosic Highlands, are
displaying in their plans for a monument to Horatio Allen on the spot from
which he started on his trip with the Stourbridge Lion on the eastern end
of the Delaware & Hudson's' gravity railroad the first trip ever made by
anx steam locomotive In America. That Is truly one of the historic events
that should have fitting and permanent memorial. The committee mem
bers number a very largo proportion of Honesdale's most prominent men
In every walk of life. Every railroad in the United States will be Invited
to contribute towards making this monument, marking so epochal an event
in modern tarnsportatlon, a worthy one; and there can be no doubt of suit
able response from all.

the whole body.
If you suffer from headaches, diz

active liver, nervousness, sleepless
ness, foul breath, heartburn, short
ness of breath, sour stomach or de
spondency, try MI-O-NA stomach
tablets.

have shipped their yachts to Beach
lake for their amusement.
This county has other counties In
the state and New York beaten to
a frazzle when It comes to scenery,
drives, water and Bprlng lakes. The
country folks are fast becoming edu
cated along this line and realize the
advantages Wayno county has over
her sister counties. The Deonle liv
ing in rural districts who are bless
ed with a, line lake or pond upon
their premises can make their place
very attractive by little or no ex
pense. Boats can be launched upon
the lake, stumps, If any, removed and
the farm house given a coat of nalnt.
This does not necessarily have to be
accomplished in one season, but 1m
provements can be made when con.
venlent to the prospective taker of
summer guests.

surrounding hills, has many Ideal
sites for large summer hotels. A

ers. Tennis courts could be laid out
and artificial lakes made.
While In conversation with one of
Honesdale's leading contractors, re
cently, the latter remarked that In
another year he hoped to do some
thing along this line. The question
arose, why wait another season, com
mence now 1o lay plans.

The Citizen, commencing with this
issue, will reproduce from the 'pen of
Frederick J. Haskln, taken from the
Scranton Tribune-Republican, a few
short chapters on "Color Photo
graphy." Mr. Haskln says:
"One of the most interesting and
at the same time most baffling lines
of researcli In which the scientists of
to-day are engaged is the problem of
finding a process whereby the true
color values of nature may be cap
tured with a camera, and made a
matter of photographic record. 'When
the principle of the photographic
camera was discovered scientists
thought it would be but a short step
from the registration of light and
shadow on plates to the cjrrect re
production of colors.
Experiments In that direction were
begun a century ago, when Sceback
obtained his first color Impression
upon a paper impregnated' with moist
silver chloride. But although vari
ous processes have been discovered
which enable the photographer to
catch some of the colors of an ob
ject, the attainment of the perfect re
production of color in a photograph
seems as distant to-day as when See
back made his experiment a hundred
years ago."
