One of the rare things of the prosont BO In to Hoe a maldnn blunli. Over four thousand miles of new railroud track wan put down during 1802. The prox?rty lout by Are in tho United Staten last yoar was valued at $127,000,000, or an average of 2 for each head of population. It is estimated that there are two thousand and four hundred disorders to which the human frame is liable. When a man ia laid up with rheuma tism, he is apt to think that the entire number have struck him in concert. A man of considerable business exerlcnco said: "I havo learned an Important liiwon. The first ten years of my busines life I put forth all my energies to Increase my income; now I pay more attention to reducing my expenditures." Every day a little knowledge. One fact in a day. How small is one fact? Only one. Ten years pass by. Throe thousand six hundred and fifty facta are not a smalt thing. Eyery day a little aelf-donlul. The thing that is difficult to do to-day will be an easy thing to do three hundred and sixty days hence, if each day it shall have boen repeated. Every day a little helpfulness. We live for the good of others, If our living be in any sence a trim living. It Is not in great deeds of kindness only that tho blessing Is found. In "little deeds of kindness," repeated every day, we find true happiness. At home, at school in the street, in the neighbor's house, in the playground, we shall find opportunity every day for usefulness. ' ' A convention of Pittsburg miners was held In the Knight of Labor Hall yes terday to consider mining legislation. The bill drafted by the Commission ap pointed by Governor Pattlnon was care fully read and compared with the meas ure drafted by the Mining Institute of Pennsylvania, which differs materially in some essential points affoctlng tho miners' interests. The bill drafted by the Commission makes tho operators responsible for the negligenee of their superintendents and mine bosses. This clause Is entirely omitted in the meas ure drafted by the Mining Institute. The Commission unanimously adopted the bill which was before the Legisla ture and will have a oommlttee In Har rbburg to oppose changes such as pro posed by the Mining Institute. Time. '"The point of greatest lnfluonce In any sphere of life is the center of that sphere. Whatever of Influence is at work in the area of a circle, emanates from its center. The center of a small elrole is as largo as tho center of a large circle, and, as tho clrcuraforonoe enlarges the center remains the same. Let him who aspires to have influence In a widely extended circle remombor this truth, and bear In mind that he ia now at the center of tho sphere, and that his greatest work must ever be done there. His influence may, Indeed, be less now than it is to be In the future; but it will never emanate from any other point than his present center of life and being. All portions of the lesser or the vaster sweep of any circlo's circumference are equidistant from the one center; and he who lives and labors so as to be folt at the center, is doing most for the extension of his influenoe to the uttermost possible circumfer ence." The Pittsburg Timet says: "Dr. Stanton Colt, a missionary from London, who was born in America and studied local questions in Germany, is at New York City to establish a social reform club. He has selected the Tenth ward, the most densely populated in the city, as the field of his operations. He be lieves in salvation by means of soap and water, food, shelter, clothes and educa tion. There will be an anti-filth society which will establish houses where the poor can do their laundry work or can take a bath for a few cents. It will also aim to secure the removal of filth from the streets.

Arthurs, de ceased, growing out of an Injury re ceived by Mrs. H. H. nrocius while walking over the sidewalk on the Pick ering Btreet front ot the Central Hotel property, owned by Mr. Arthurs. Mr. and Mrs. Broctus brought an action against the borough for damages for the injury received, and wore awarded five thousand dollars. Tho borough then instituted suit against Arthurs, and now tho supreme court decides ho was liable because ot not having tho pavement in front of his property in proper condition; and directs payment to be made to reimburse the borough. The amount of the judgment against Mr. Arthur's estate is about $7,100. This is an important decision to our citizens, and shows tho necessity of every property holder maintaining a suitable and safe pavement in front of his property. Who was It t OuBola Courier. Saturday evening a chap drove up hore from Reynoldsvillo and put his horse in Jury's livery stable until he was ready to return home. By the time he was ready to go Mr. Jury had left the stable, but he had left word with the driver of the Curwensvllle stage, who sleeps in the stable, to col lect a quarter of a dollar of the man When he came for the horse. The old man asked for the money when the party put in appearance and payment was refused. The stable man told the transient that he could not have his horse until the money was paid, and a quarrel ensued, the stranger picked up a hatchet and brandishing it said he would have his horse without paying anything. The keeper drew a revolver out of his pocket and said the horse would not leave the stable until the money was paid. And the money was paid. All kind of rubber goods at Robln-oo'i.

Electric Roads and Snowfall, When many of our electric railway managers were boys it was just about this time of year that they got down from the attic or np from the cellar oi out from the woodshed their old "double runners," and polished and oiled them up in anticipation of many coasts down the icy hillside roads. They are doing irotty much the same thing now, except hat the "double runners" have developed into electric railway snow plows, whose function is to spoil coasting rather tlian to facilitate it. These machines are ol very recent origin, and are still in many ways experimental devices. Plows and sweepers have both been used to displace the snow from electric railroad tracks. It has been thought by some companies that the sweeper doe its work too thoroughly, as It cleans off all the snow, leaving only the bare ground for the use of other vehicles op runners. This causes delays to the elec tric cars and interferes with their prompt operation. Crosby and Bell state in theii book on the electric, railway that "it i in beat to leave an inch or two of snow on the track when cleared by plows. Un less the snow is very much compacted, or has become a sort of frozen slush, it is then possible to obtain fair contact be tween wheel and rail, thus keeping up the car service." The proper function of the snow plow ia its constant use in keeping the snow on the tracks from packing and freezing. Its principal use is in the city streets. Where the road runs out into the coun try, or where the snows aro light, the sweeper service will pro'ably prove equally desirable. On many roads a combined plow and sweeper service will be found best of all. Electrical Review. Ha Found Ono Maa. Captain John Miller tells a good story about himself in connection with his trip to the Chicago convention. While en route he thought he would feel the pub Ho pulse along the road, so at the vari ous stopping places he got out on the rear platform and made short speeches in favor of Senator Hill. The name of Hill did not arouse the slightest enthu siasm, greatly to the surprise of Captuin Miller, who before leaving Washington had an idea that the Democrats of the country were hungry for Hill's nomina tion. Not a hand was clapped in re sponse to Captain Miller's eloquence un til the train reached a little town out in Ohio. There one man in the crowd ap plauded the name of Hill quite vigor ously. Captuin Miller paused in his speech, jumped off the train and rushed np to the man, saying: "My dear friend, I am glad to know that there ia one man out in this God forsaken country who appreciates the name of Hill." "I don't belong here," replied the man. "I came out on the train with you, Cup tain Jack." That put an end to Ca-tain Miller's electioneering for Senator Hill. Wash ington Post. A Serpent or tho Boa. Chancellor Rand, of McMaster univer sity, received by express a box which, when opened, waa found to contain a snake some nine feet long, of slender build and of a dull mud color. An ac companying letter explained the arrival. Last May, while on the way from the Philippine islands, the Theodore H. Rand, a ship named after the chancellor, was caught in a heavy gale off the Afri can coast. Everything waa battened down, and yet, after some hours, during which the seas ran bodily over the ves sel, the helmsman felt something like a rope around bis leg, and looking down was horrified to find this snake. The ship at the time was more than a hundred miles off the shore, waa closely battened and had not been in port for soma weeks. Many theories have been raised to account fur the reptile's pres ence, some thinking it bad been washed aboard during the storm; others that it bad lain dormant since the ship left port and others suggesting that a genuine saa serpent had at list been found. The osntsiu forwarded toe snake to thechan ouor as a curiosity. Toronto Empire. For Bale. House and lot In Ohlotown.
