It In no gn-at mattur t llvo lovingly with good nnturi'd, hunihln and weak persons, but ho who van do so with tho froward, willful. Ignorant, (n'ovIhIi, mid prover hath true charity. To make Jont on Haon-d things requires no high order of ability and Is no murk of Huperlor wit. Such achievements are within tho cntnpnm of the fucultles of a fool. No man of culture and pru dence would do It. When tho new law requiring asst'a sors to record all births and deaths In their districts at the prothonotary's offlco goes Into effect there will be the beginning of tho end of giddy girls palming themselves off as "sweet Mix teen" for a decado or more. Reform Is coming sun. Ex. It Is said that grass hopers were never so numerous In the section of tho country around Nlttany Valloy, near Lock Haven, as they are at present. Ouo farmer states that the hoppers are destroying his corn, and are literally stripping the blades from the stalks. On some farms tho hopors are devour ing everything in the lino of vcgitatlon. In whatever branch of business you fall, always aim to do your level best, and stick to your aim, If you walk on your uppers and dlno at a free lunch counter. Tho man who can do two dollars' worth of good work for one dol lar will never get out of a Job so long as there Is a job In creation. Ho may rise slowly, but It was not the tortoise that lost tho famous go-as-you-please. Various cosmetics and washes for the Bkln usually contain zinc, bismuth, lead or mercury. Thoy are realty nothing but paints, and are not only Injurious from poisonous mo tallc substances thoy con lain, but they fill up the pores of the :skln, and thus Increase the troubles thoy are supposed to remedy. A bad -complexion Is usually dopondont upon -constitutional causes, and can not be Improved by outward applications. Shall the boy intended for business be sent to college ? Thla question cannot be answered "yes" or "no." There is no use in sending a boy to college who shows no signs of appreciating it the idler, who floats through on his father's money and influence, whoso occupation la dissipation and flirtation, and who studies only enough to avoid expulsion. But the boy who plainly has the making of a man, and has the strength and appli cation to master his preparation, may well be sent to an institution of tech nology, or to a university. If intended for business, such a boy will bo solf made, if he is ever made at all, as real ly as tho man who taught himself to read by the light of a pine knot. Have you nover gone out in the morn ing with a heart so depressed and sad dened that a pall seemed spread over all the world, but on meeting some friend who spoke cheerily for a minute or two, if only upon indifferent matters, have felt yourself wonderfully light ened? It is a blessed thing to speak a cheerful word when you can. "Every heart knoweth its own bitterness" the world over. Even tho strangers we moet causually by the way, in the trav elers' waiting-room, are unconsciously influenced by the tones we use. It is the one with pleasant words on his lips to whom a stranger in a strange land turns for advice and direction. Take it as a compliment if some wayfarer comes to you to direct him which street or which train to take: your manner has struck him as belonging to one he can trust. Street fakirs now-a-days make an apology for their appearance. They do it, you know, just to advertise their medicine, &c, because it is a cheaper way of advertising than in the daily papers, and the laborlug classes, whom those fellows are so friendly towards, gets the benefit of the saving on this way of introducing whatever they are Belling that "the people cannot get along without." These fakirs are greatly interested In the human family that portion which they have to pro vide for. It is remarkably strange how these fellows will discommode them selves to travel through the country to save a few pennies for the laboring peo ple, that is to take their statement for it. Dut if it wan not for the almighty dollar they gather in poor humanity might suffor or spend their cash with the faithful family physician. A Disgusting Vice. Ono needs only to walk on the streets of Iteynoldsvlllo to bo convinced that profanity, one of tho most disgusting and prevalent vices, Is growing to an nliirmliig extent. Wo Ih-Huvo that It Is tho duty of every journalist, who Is not vulgar enough to uso it himself, to help suppress profanity meaning less, vulgar profanity. It does not require a close olwerver to discover that its use Is confined to no age, sex or position. It pollutes allko tho conver sation of youthful strength and decrepit ago. In tho highways, and byways, the counting room and workshop, and and too often In tho social and fumily circle the ear Is dinned by conversation Interlarded with profanity which neither dignifies, emphasizes nor euilMillislies. Tho stripling of our town vies with tho man of business In tho Interjection of his oaths, and long before ho renehes man's estate has acquired a detestable habit which becomes second nature, and has secured his proficiency us a professional swearer for tho term of his natural life: so that go where ho mny his foul mouth becomes a veritable cess Iool of slime a standing menace to tho welfare of society. Leaving morul or religious consider ations entirely out of tho question, Is It not time that this abominable, ungentlemnnly practice was abandon ed. Tho vernacular of the blackguard, under all circumstances reprehensible, Is esjieclally out of place In tho family circle, buslnoss or social conversation or friendly greeting; and yet tho prac tice referred to prevails to a greater or less extent in all of them. It Is high 1 1 mo to call a halt, to put tho penalty of social ostracism on tho individual who Indulges In It. Peculiarly aproios In this connection are the linos of Cowper: Maintain your rank, vulKUi'lty iIi'hiIhoi To .wear fit neither bmvti, polite nor wlso. Fire Meeting. All members of Homo Co.

New Bethlehem Vindicator Barton Ecker, of Limestone township, is the victim of a fl rst-class fraud. Some time early In the spring an agent came around introducing a new feed for stock. He at onoe struck Mr. Ecker, who keeps quite a lot of stock, and induced him to take 200 weight as a trial order. The food did nbt arrive, but a short time ago a notice from the Now Bothlohem Bank did, asking him to pay his note for $200, when Mr. Ecker awoke to the fact that he had been swindled. The people of Reynoldsville and vicin ity know when they have a good thing; that aocounU for the great increase in business at Reed's shoe store.

Th. rainy, of th. Kgrptlea. A representative piece of mechanism occurs frequently on the sculptures of early Egypt It haa the appearance of and Is generally believed to be that of a portable pump. The hydraulic screw Is also attributed to this people, but their main reliance seems always to have been the Shadoof, seen everywhere along the banks of the Nile, an invention so sltn plo and so well adapted to their needs' that it remains today substantially the same as it has thronnh all the cpntnriM since history began. The same may be said regarding the chain pnmp in China, an invention the Griffin of which antedates tha OirlaHnn era. This simple machine, which seems; never to nave been improved upon, is In ench common use that every agricnltnral laborer is In nonseMlnn nf nn.

En gineering Magazine. We Owe th. Hat to Ada. We owe the hat to Asia, for it was in that country that the art of felting wool was first known, and from the most re mote periods the art was carried on by the orientals. In India, China, Bnrmah and Slam hats are made of straw, of rat tan, of bamboo, of pith, of the leaf of tha Tall port palm and of s large variety of grasses. The Japanese made their hats of paper. The modern hat can be traced back to the petasnrs worn by the ancient Romans when on a journey, and hats with brims were also nsed by the earlier Greeks. It was not until after the Roman con quest that the use of hats began in Eng land. A "hatte of biever," about the middle of the twelfth century, was worn by one of the nobles of the land. Fraia- sort describe hats and plumes which were worn at Edward court in 1840. when the Garter order was instituted. The merchant in Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales" had "on his head a Flaundorish beaver hat," and from that period on ward there is frequent mention of "felt hattee." Washington Star. Ma "Law Again.! Bemovlaa; a Dead Body. "Where In the world," asked the law yer who volunteered Inf. motion with out a retaining fee, '- people espe cially people in the couii.i y get the idea that one cannot touch or remove a body until the coroner has arrived? That is almost a general belief in the country, and there never was a more ridiculous and absurd piece of nonsense than this. I nave aeen a body lie in everybody's way because the people thereabout thought that it was unlawful to touch it This foolish tradition amounts almost to a superstition, and you may be sura no coroner takes the trouble to enlighten stupid ignorance upon the subject The coroner is only too willing to aggrandize his Influence and power, and therefor rather encourages than discourages this tUlv suoerstition." New York Tribune. am umDr.ua uoea wor a iiuwn. man was one advised to take shower baths for the general improve ment of his health. A friend explained to him how to fit up one by the use of a cistern and colander, and he accordingly set to work and had the thing arranged! Subsequently be was met by the friend who had given him the advice and was asked how he enjoyed the bath. "My dear fellow," said he, "it was capital. I liked it really well, and what do you think? I kept myself dry too." "Whatever do you mean?" exclaimed his friend, in natural surprise. "How ever could you manage to take the show er and yet remain quite dry?" "Why, you can't think for a moment I should be so stupid as to have a shower bath without an umbrella?" was the in nocent reply. London Tit-Bits. Ia Hn. Bismarck's Hoaae.
