It is expected that there will be a large attendance from all sections of the country and that tho congress will be one of the most important conventions of women ever held In this country. The committee In charge has agreed upon the general outlines of the programme as follows: First day, equipment and beauty of and food values in rural homes; second day, laws of physical life in relation to the family, conservation of time and strength, labor saving devices, and simple hygiene, etc.; third day, economic value of women and children on tho farm, influence of club3, granges ana otner agricultural associiuiuiis, f Infnnto nnrl vniinp1 nhiirirpn. etc.: fourth day. the rural church, Vl tJ Ul HI I Ull I.

UXCLE SAM AS EMPLOYER. In IS1G there were approximately 6,327 names on tho Federal pay-roll, or about one to every 1,300 of the population. In 1011 there are 384,088, or one to every 242 of the population. Add 121,000 for the army and navy, 1,415 for representa tives abroad and nearly 7,000 as em ployees of Congress itself and of the Judiciary, and we have a total of 513,854, or one In 180 of the popu lation. Fourth-class postmasters employ on private account some 64, 000 clerks, many of whom do other thai, postal work. Suppose that only the more plau sible portion, even, of those schemes that are broached for extending the power and the functions of the Fed eral Government were put into ef fect. Suppose the half million em ployes of Uncle Sam 'become a mil lion, with the States, towns and cit ies increasing their pay-rolls in pro portion. Should we ever fall Into that dry-rot of officialism which in Continental countries hampers pri vate initiative by turning the atten tion of tho educated classes so large ly to government employment? And what would be the effect up on our political development of tho Interested support by ever-Increasing thousands of tho party government in power? ENORMOUS COAL VALUATIONS. Under the present scheme of classifying government coal land 56,089,214 acres of withdrawn land had been, on Aucust 1. examined In geologic detail and classified by the United States Geological Sur vey. The lands found to contain workable coal beds aggregated 16. 873.370 acres. These lands, in 40- acre tracts, have been appraised by tho Survey at a total valuation of $711,992,537, In prices ranging from the minimum figure stated in the coal law $10 or $20 an acre, according to whether tho land Is lo cated within 15 miles of the rail' road to figures of over $400 an acre where the thickness of the coal beds may aggregate 60. 80. or 100 feet, or von more. The government valuations accord in a general way with the market values of private coal lands In the West, although as a matter of fact they are some' what more liberal to the purchaser, Four hundred dollars an acre may seem a high prlco for Uncle Sam's coal land, which a few years ago might have been bought for $2U an acre. 'However, tne Geological sur vey's plan of classification and valu ation contemplates that the Govern' ment should receive at least a rea- sonable return for Its coal, admit tedly the most useful rock mineral In its nossesslon. When it is under stood that an acre with, say, a 40 foot coal bed or seam contains ap- nroximately 72,000 tons of coal and an acre with 100 feet of coal con tains 180,000 tons, the price asked by the Government, instead of being exorbitant, seems, on the other hand, hardly sufficient. On land having a thickness ot su reet or coai $400 an acre would bo less than s cents a ton. In reality, under the Survey regulations which consider denth of the coal, number or oecis quality, and other physical details, the nrices asked for many areas containing 80 feet of coal are equlV' alent to nearer 2 than 3 cents a ton. At the minimum prices which were In effect before the government withdrawals of coal lands, the 16,- 873,370 acres above referred to Would have been priced at only $2GG,C52,431, tho difference in fa vor of the public revenue at the new prices being therefore $445,340,iuu Under the provisions of the national Irrigation law tho proceeds from all sales of coal land are credited to the "reclamation fund," so that Govern ment Irrigation has. as It were. considerable trust fund for future operations. ACTING MADE PERMANENT. While tho most ot the adverse criticism that has been directed against the moving picture business has been well deserved, we should not lose eight of the fact that the men who have control of this truly wonueriui invention aro entitled to a great deal of credit which they do not receive for honest and energetic efforts to Improve the tone of their exniDitions. Nearly all the better class of films to-day are enacted by profes sionals who receive considerably more money for their work than rest of the fruit, and usually should not be sent to market to compete with the better grades, but used for evaporating, canning and cider. , llnri'cl Packing., The standard American barrel contains three bushels, and measures 17 in. across tho ends, 23 In. across the center, and has staves 28 In. long. Second hand sugar barrels and smaller or "snide bar rels" should not be used. Tako out the bottom head, and stand tho barrel with top head down so as to pack the top end first.

What do Booth and Forrest mean to the younger members of this generation? What will Joe Jefferson mean to the next generation? Only hazy sug gestions of something that was said to be worth looking at and lis tening to. But, thanks to the phonograph and the biograph, the stars that are left to us may be looked at and lis tened to by our great-great-greatgrandchildren. The youth of 100 years from now may marvel at the sweetness of the Bernhardt voice and understand why the play of tho Bernhardt countenance held thous ands speechless. It will be possible to compare the voice of Caruso with those of the great tenors of genera tions to come and the "touch" of Paderewski will not be a matter of description after he Is gone. It Is preserved In the records for ages unborn. Tho combination of these two in ventions, the phonograph and the moving picture, has already been ef fected, so that we may see and hear at one and the same time. What this will mean to posterity if proper ly utilized to-day can only be im agined by endeavoring to conceive what it would mean to us to attend a concert by Jenny Lind; to see and hear Napoleon, George Washington, Queen Elizabeth, Cleopatra, Caesar, Moses. History means nothing when there is no history to write. The bio graph and the phonograph are too young for us to grasp the full Import of the gift they have conferred up on mankind, by showing us how to fraternize with the next millen nium, like Phra tho Phoenician, or the Wandering Jew in Sue's tale. Fifty years from now there will be no difficulty In persuading the most highly favored actors and ac tresses to perform for the phono graph and the biograph. The diffi culty will be to get them to perform in the absence of these greatest his torians the world has ever produced. Harrisburg Telegraph. gall from a butcher.

Surface, Economical Zoologist of Pennsylvania. Is mailing the follow ing brief 'directions to the owners of State Model Orchards, telling them how to pick, grade and pack their fruit so as to realize the greatest re turns for their efforts in growing fancy fruit: Picking. All fruit should be most carefully hand picked when fully grown, and red varieties well colored. Too early picking sacrifices high quality and color, and alBo tho fruit spurs, while too late reduces the keeping quali ties. The exact time of picking can be determined by the full develop ment of tho fruit, and an occasional specimen beginning to soften or show the yellow colors, or drop from the tree. In picking, the apple should be grasped in such a manner that the forefinger touches the stem, and then by a rolling and bending move ment the apple will "be unjointed at the fruit spur. Careless and hurried picking often 'destroys the fruit spur or pulls out tho stem, breaking the skin at the basin and otherwise bruising It. Injured fruit wil not keep so well, and its value Is thus reduced. A padded half bushel -basket with a swing handle is the best receptacle into which to pick the fruit. Leav ing apples He in piles, with the hot sun beating upon them, reduces their keeping qualities. Instead they should be Immediately cooled after picking, especially during warm weather. Grading. To aid In assorting apples to uni form sizes for boxing, a sizing board with a row or holes will be helnful These holes should bo about 2 In. to 3 In. in diameter, representing tho ditrerent sized apples that aro put Into boxes. Tho grader will soon become able to dispense with the siz ing hoard except when in doubt. Tho apples are held up to the hole, but never dropped through. An ordinary table covered with a layer of canvas or soft cloth can be used with which to spread tho apples in grading, Winter varieties can be assorted In to four grades: 1st. The finest for boxes: This should consist of well colored and finest fruit of high quality varieties, free from blemishes, and of fine finish and uniform size. 2nd. First grade for barrels Next sizes to box apples, free from blemishes and bruises, and of uni form size throughout the barrel. 3rd. Second grade for barrels: Second grade Includes the smaller sizes of sound fruit free from blemishes. 4th. Culls: These Include all tho TEXAS TAXPAYERS. On Saturday next, all taxpayers and property owners should voice their sentiment in selecting a candidate for supervisor. The roads of Texas township have been grossly mismanaged and much of your money spent without results. As an example: The state road botweon Seelyvillo and Honesdale was built at a cost of $11,000 per mile. This thoroughfare with proper man agement, would have remained In condition for years to come. Instead, the same was covered with ordinary wall stono and to day is In no better condition than the road built from Seelyvillo to Prompton, the latter one having cost scarcely one-tenth of that of the new state road. The new road machine purchased at a cost of $2,500 has been i used to build Honesdale streets at the expense of Texas taxpay ers, supervisors running the same for $8.44 per day which does not begin to pay wear and tear on tho machine. Our township to-day Is heavily in debt; our roads In miser able condition. In the year of 1902 tho township was $4,400 in debt. Mr. Geo. Erk of Seelyvillo was elected- as supervisor. Our roads were put In excellent condition, new stono roads built in various places and at the expiration of his term nearly $2,000 on hand In the treasury. This money has all been used up as can readily be seen by the statements and as stated pre viously, the township is in debt with poor roads. Geo. Erk has allowed his name to be put up after much per suasion by tho taxpayers and it is hoped that each and every property owner will turn out on Saturday and vote for their own' inlerest by electing Mr. Erk as supervisor. COMMITTEE OF TAXPAYERS. TO HEAT CARPETS AT HOME. Fold the carpet up carefully, carry it a good distance from any window, and hang it over a stout line, wrong side outwards. Two persons should beat It, one standing on one side, and one on the other. Use pliable sticks and tie secwrely over the end of each a piece oi clotn, to prevent damage being done with the sharp end or by sudden splitting of tho wood. When the dust ceases to fly out turn and beat the carpet on the right side, and if there Is any quite clean and dry grass drag the carpet right side downward over It to fresnen it. Lastly, sweep it over lightly with a carpet whisk, and it is then ready to be relaid. Then examine the carpet and re move any stains. For candle-grease stains scrape on all the solid matter possible with an old spoon, not a knife, as the latter is apt to cut the fibres of the carpet. Then lay over tho marK two lay ers of blotting paper, and with the point of a hat pin, Iron lightly over tho place. For oil stains mix a little rullors earth to a thick paste with boiling water. Spread it over tho mark, and lwive It on for twenty-four hours without touching it. Then brush it off with a hard brush. If some stain still remains, mix with one tablespoonful of fullers' earth, one teaspoonful of powdered magnesia, pour boiling water on, and use as above. Another very good method of re moving grease stains is to scrape a little French chalk and spread It dry on the mark. Leave it on for two days, and then brush it off thoroughly. Ink stains should, of course, if pos sible, be removed when wet, taking up as much as possible with blotting paper to prevent It spreading. Then some milk should be heated, allowed to cool, and the skim removed, and the ink stain then saturated with the milk. Keep repeating this process, chang ing the paper each time, until no mark is left. Tho iron melts the grease, and the paper absorbs It. Keep wiping It off and dabbing on fresh milk as it becomes discolored. When the stain is gone rinse the patch with tepid water and rub dry. To Wash a Carpet. Lay it on tho floor, get a coarse sponge, a moderately hard nailbrush, one or two coarse linen or other non fiuffy cloths, a bit of flannel, and two bowls of water. Use either some of tho good white soaps now procurable or the following: IIome-Mudo Soap Mixture. Ingredients: Two ounces of finely shredded soap. One pint and a half of boiling wa ter. One tablespoonful of liquid am monia. Dlsoslve the soap In tho water over a slow fire. Leave it until lukewarm, add the ammonia, and mix well to gether. If any Is left over, keep It In a bottle tightly tied down. Now to proceed.

There Is only one way to cure deafness, and that Is by constitu tional remedies. Deafness is caus ed by an Inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Im perfect hearing, and when it Is en tirely closed, Deafness Is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to Us normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an Inflamed condition of tho mucous surfaces.
