William Fall-man, of Pnnxsiitawnoy,

James Flattery, a burglar, who is a
prlnonor in tho 1'ottavillo jail, has been
working at his trade while serving as
a prisoner. It was discovered last Fri
day that ho has stolen about $1,000
worth of goods and shipped them to
his wife at Lock Haven.
According to careful estimates, three
hours of close study wears out tho body
more than a whole day of hard physical

Complaints have been made to Attor
ney General Hehsel at Harrinburg
about tho crooked operations of build
ing and loan associations of other states
that are permitted to prosecute their
business in Pennsylvania. The next
Loglslature will be asked to adopt sim
ilar legislation to that of New York
and adjpitiing states preventing foreign
building and loan associations from do
ing business in thorn,
It Is undeniable that there is some
confusion in tho popular mind respect
ing truth-tolling and lying, arising from
a failure to understand tho essential
elements of truth and falsehood. So
far as the individual alone is concerned
he may make a false statement without
lying or ho may make a true statement
and yet lie in doing so. The question
is one of sincerity In the one and an
Intent to deceive on the other. All the
sophistry about lies and especially white
lies disappears when tested by the pur
pose or intent of those uttering them.
When a sincere man tells that which
he believes to be true he has not uttered
a lie, though the statement may be
false. On the other hand, the hypo
crite who, keeping within the bounds of
-truth, Insinuates a falsehood or by sup
pressing a part of the truth conveys a
false impression and does so with the
intent to deceive, is an absolute liar,
more despicable even than those who
lie outright with no pretense of adhe
- sion to the truth. The distinction
should be olearly Impressed on the
minds of children lest they should mis
take the form for the substance. Sin
cerity, honesty, frankness these are
the element of truth-telling; deceit is
the essential element of lying. Ex.
Corea, like the world of the ancients,
has its "seven wonders." Briefly
stated, they are as follows: First, a hot
mineral spring near Kln-Shantao, the
healing properties of which are believ
ed by the people to be miraculous. No
matter what disease may afflict the pa
tient, a dip in the water proves effica
cious. The eeoond wonder is two springs
situated at' a considerable distance from
each other; in fact, they have the en
tire breadth of the entire peninsula be
tween them. They have two peculiar
ies when one is full the other is it
empty; and, notwithstanding the fact
that they are connected by a subterra
nean passage, one is bitter and tho other
pure and sweet. The third wondor is a
cold-wave-cave a cavern from which a
wintry wind perpetually blows. The
force of the wind from the cave is such
that a strong man cannot stand before
it. A forest that cannot be eradicated
Is the fourth wonder. No matter what
injury is done to the roots of the trees
whloh are large pines, they will sprout
up again directly, like the Phoenix from
her ashes. The fifth is the most won'
derful of all. It is the famous "floating
atone." It stands, or seems to stand,
in front of the palaee erected in its
honor, and is an irregular cube of great
bulk. It appears to be resting on the
ground, free from supports on all Bides;
but, strange to say, two men at the op
posite ends of a rope may pass it under
the atone without encountering any ob
stacle whatever. The sixth wonder is
the "hot stone," which from remote
gee has lain glowing with beat on the
top of a high hill. The seventh and
laat wonder Is a drop of the sweat of
Buddha. For thirty paoei around the
temple in whloh it -ia enshrined not a
blade of grans will grow. There are no
trees nor flowers inside the sacred
qua re. Even the animals decline to
