A large postal card, in use for some months, will soon become obsolete if re ports tw true. It is given out that the government hag decided that the si.e Of the card is greater than is needed, as lios bvn Known in tho great majority of Cas.'S in its use, and thereforo a new card, not so largo, will bo issued in a few weeks, possibly by the beginning of the new year. It Is estimated that there are 117,000 unemployed people in Chicago, many of whom are starving to death. A con tnittee of WO citizens of the World's Fair city wore appointed to raise $1,000, 00O for tho relief of tho needy. Is this the re-action from tho extra boom the World's Fair gave that city, or the general depression that stalks through tho land ? Perhaps both. An net mny possess the properties of fitm.'HS and utility, but for want of right intention be just the reverse of what it seems to be. The churl may reach forth his hand in acts of beneficence; but because other ends than those of Charily are intended, thoy possess no Virtue, and he remains a churl. Or, if a man gives his neighbor a potion which h really believes will poison him, but which in the event proves salutatory and does much good, in moral estima tion he is a criminal and not a bene' factor. A house will be kept in turmoil whore there is rot toleration of mistakes, no in 'i k submission to injuries, no soft answer to turn away rath. If you lay single stick of wood in the grate and apply flro to it, it will go out; put on another stick, and they will burn; and a half dozen, and you will have an ffectivo blaze. There are othor fires nubj ct to the same condition. If one member of a family gots into a passion nd is Wt alono, he will cool down, and possibly bo ashamed and repent. But oppose tamper to temper, let one harsh answer bo followed by another, and there will goon be a blazo which will enwrap them all In Its burning heat. AnHrchtsm, nihilism and all destruct ive phases of soclulism are the product of monarchical governments, under which hereditary porogatlves prevail, and tho laboring classes are subject to -various disabilities which render their lot in life hard and depressing. But in this country they are out of place. At present, times are hard and many men cannot get employment, but generally apeuking, an American, if he be indus trious and sober, can make an honest living by honest work; and if he haa energy and business abilities of any kind, can attain to an honorable and oven prominent position in the com munity, as many thousands have done who began life in the most bumble sphere. The future of the ex-conviot, who is turned out upon the world again after serving his term, is a subject which has strongly engaged the attention of earn est penologists of late years. As a general thing, the ex-convict meets with a very freezing reception in the world, even when he departs from the prison enclosure with a real purpose of leading a now life and beooming a use ful member of society. He finds that he is regarded by respecta ble society as something of a moral lnjKir. All doors of employment are closed against him. Ho must either go to some far-distant region, with a chuug 'd iiumu, and tuke his chances or thuro Is nothing loft for hlra to do save to return to his old vicious ways and tuke his chunoes among the out luwt). Some men, strong of purpose, have lived down the curse which seems to ivst upon them, and have conquered their way to places in the industrial world. But the vast majority of ex- oouvluU, meeting no friendly band to guide and help them, and being made to realise that a brand has been Impressed upon Umin, fall by the wayside la de spair, and are subject to every evil influence again. " Mr. Beulah Peters. Mrs. Beulah Petors, of Unlonville, Center county, Pa., died at 2.30 A. M., Thursday, November, 30th, 1803, at the home of her son, William P. Peters, at Contral City, where sho was visiting. Sho had boon sick a few days with a heavy cold, which ended her useful life on earth. She was exceed ingly kind and generous lady and was a member of tho Baptist church of Unlon ville for over 30 years. Her life was extended to 73 years and 4 months, most of which was dovotcd to doing good. About 51 years ago Mrs. Beulah Petors and her husband, Lewis C. Peters, located in what is now the bor ough of Unlonville; they built the first house in the town. Her husband pro- ceded her to the Heavenly land 14 years. They were both pillars in the Baptist church. Since her husband's death she spent tho most of her timo with her seven children, but still retained her home at the old homestead as a place for tho children and her many friends to meet her. Her maiden name was Miss Beulah Fisher, sho was of one of tho oldest and most prominent families In Centre county, three brothers and one sister survive, her W. P. Fisher, the nurseryman, Ezra and Elijah Fisher and Mrs. Jacob Hoover. Tho following children survlvo her: John M., of Unlonville; Mrs. Addio Smith, of Belle fonto; William, of Central City: Ed ward, of Union township; Oscar, of Milesburg; Alfred L., of Koynoldsvillo; Joseph, of Pleasant Gap. Her remains wore Interred in the Friends graveyard near Unlonville. The services were conducted by Rev. Solo, the Baptist minister of Milesburg. The pall bear ers were her six sons. "Tome, lt-t n Join our friends aliove, Who huve obtained the prlnoi And on the piikIu wIiiks of love To Joy celestial rise."

A prominent man in town exclaimed tho other day: "My wife has been weai'ing out her life from the effects of Dispepsia, Liver Complaint and Indi gestion. Her case baffled the skill of our best physicians. After using three packages of Bacon's Celery King for the Norves sho is almost entirely well."

A characteristic feature of Manhona land, the kopje, is frequently mention ad in tha dispatches reporting the en gagements with the Matabele. Some description of these curious elevations is given in a letter to Professor Ueikle, from Mr. J. B. Don, formerly one of his pupils. A uniform granite forma tion is, he says, by far the most promi nent geological peculiarity of Mashona- land and indeed of most of the interior of South Africa. Sometime it rises into mountains, but usually the general level is only broken by low kopjes, and in those parts where the bed rock and surfaco are flattest the kopjes present the most singular appearance. The whole country seems dotted with hnge curbstones, and in whichever direction yon look they gradually close in the view, as the trunks of trees would in a forest. Borne of these curbstones are 800 feet or more high, sheer all round, and apparently of smaller diameter than height. Sometimes the original mass has been so broken tip as to form the most marvelous steeplelike struc tures springing out of the rich foliage that grows in all the crevices. Native huts are built on these kopjes in almost inaccessible positions. London News. Elevators In Kew York. New York contains 7,000 elevators at present, including those in private nouses and others where the trafflo is comparatively small. If you assume, however, merely to dazzle the fancy, that 0,000 of these are in busy build ings, then you find that the elevators of New York could carry tip and down per day 8,000 time 10,000 people, or not far from the entire population of the United States. Again, by a beau tiful law of averages, you find that 80 miles is a fair daily run for a New York elevator. Boston Globe. i-nUcellitrteon. Q MITCHELL, ATTORNEY-AT-LAW.
