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

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

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

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.

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

"Why, you can't think for a moment
I should be so stupid as to have a shower
