The tiitiisuro will havo tho sanction of the State authorities mid will establish a bureau of mines in tho Internal AfTulrs Department with a chief whoso qualifications will be simi lar to those required of mining en gineers and mine Inspectors. It U thought to be necessary for such a bureau, with a properly qualified chief, for the reason that no supervision of the stato Ih by law authorized over mine inspectors of either the anthracite or bituminous mines In Pennsylvania. Thei-o are (flrls In Iieynoldsvillo who are as bold u lions. They parado tho streets watching for an opportun ity to "catch" on to a beau, caring not a farthing whether It bo a stranger they havo never seen before or an old acquaintance. There aro a host of other girls In town who aro modest and lady-llke. Theso are tho kind of girls the young men will look after when they want to get a wife. No difference how fast a young man may havo been, when ho wants a wife he don't seek for her among tho bold, fast young women with whom ho may have associated fre quently while living a reckless life. Ho wants a woman ho can trust when he enters tho matrimonial stato. Old ago Is the reward of wisdom and virtue. Tho man or woman who lives close to nature, anil In accordance with tho laws of llfo, will remain on earth and enjoy good health much longer than one who violates these laws. There can bo no higher testimonial to tho cor rectness of a man's life than extreme longevity. Tho old saying that "tho good die young" Is mora of u sarcasm than a truism. Tho good are long liv ers. Gladstone has been all bis life a strict observer of tbo laws of houlth. Had he been, like Lord Byron, "sore given to revel and ungodly gloo," and had ha "spent his youth in riot most uncouth," tho world would havo long ago been deprived of his usefulness. We always feel like taking off our hat to an old man, because to have attuined his fullness of years, ho must have been temperate, good-natured and law-abiding. PunXHUtawney S)iirit, The Washington Post comments as follows on tho poll-tax law of Pennsyl vania: "As u neat and handy dovlce for the corruption of politics and the degradation of tho elective franchise the poll-tax law of Pennsylvania might safely challenge comparison with any or all the abuses that tho triumphant progress of ballot reform has left on State statute books. Under tho pro visions of that luw a man must have paid a poll tax within a specified time in nrAnf in Via a n n dH find nLin P1A mount is small, only 50 cents, if wo remember correctly, and it seems but a trivial Impediment to the exercise of the franchise. We do not know that good government would not be promot ed by excluding from the ballot all who did not eare enough for it or were unable to pay 50 cents, or even a dollar. It might possibly shut out a few worthy men, but this would be more than offset by the exclusion of the unworthy. This, however, is not the way the poll tax work In Pennsylvania. It shuts out nobody, for the campaign committees raise funds, largely from candidates for local offices, and pay the tax for scores of thousands. Elections are sometimes controlled by the votes of men who are thus qualified for the privilege and duty of participating in the government. So debasing is this business that Gover nor Hastings lu his annual message be lieved it Incumbent upon him to denounce the wholesale purchase of tax receipts for the poll-tax voter a one of the evil which 'must necessarily under mine the foundation of our form of government, If persisted in and tolerated by the freemen of the Commonwealth,' It remain to be seen whether or not the Legislature will wipe out tbl blot."

Now, Hoys and girls, we want to talk a little with you this week on "Idle ness." Idleness Is tho bane of mankind and tho beginning of a great ninny evils. If a person Is not engaged in something good, they will naturally otigago in Riimethlng evil, fur everyone will en gago at something. A great many boys and girls get into bad company through Idleness. Many boys and girls Idle away their time on the streets when they should be at school. They become careless and reckless and at last acquire bad habits. Many parents are, to blame, for they should have their children under control and keep them from evil. Skillful business men and good house-keeping women are thoso who wore busy when young and under the control of good parents. Wo can idle a great deal of time away. So many people are satisfied by doing nothing. I onco know a boy who was exceedingly lazy at school. Ho would sit all day and simply do nothing. lie never made any noise, never whispered or disturbed any one, never got Into mischief nor played any tricks. One day tho teacher came along and struck him a blow with his tod. The boy jumped up and exclaimed, "I aint doing anything." "That's just it," said tho teacher. "I want you to do something." A great many people aro like this boy; they think they aro all right when they are doing nothing. We must not only "cease to do evil," but must "learn to do well." When you go to school do not Idle your time so that when you grow up to be men and women you can lxi able to suy, I Improved my time while at school, for as wo begin life wo must end it. Live for something. Be not idlo. Look about for useful employ ment and remember "Satan finds somo mUuhlef atlll for Idlo hands to do." And again, "An Idlo brain is the dev il's workshop."
