Thf Town sjerdrd Mompthlnii.
Tho H'oil of our town aro rejoiced
because .the ntlk mill In nn assured
tiling, and they havo reason to rejoice,
especially tin business men nnd proper
ty owners. Business In Ueynoldsvlllo
has been very "rocky" tho punt few
years, nnd It litis bnon by bard strut; tfllnir
that many of our business tnon stonrod
clear of tht rocks of financial em
barrassment, and tbo silk mill will bo
tholr salvation. Onn tronblo with our
town for a few yearn has been too many
business places for tbo amount of busi
ness to he done In tbo town. Tbo Hllk
mill, wltb a J(H),(XHI annual pay roll,
and if wo bad another plant with an
I Hiiro annual pay roll, would put in cir
culation about tbo proper amount of
money to ;ivu a reasonably fair living
to tho present population of Kcynolds
villi!. Wo bnvo More of all kinds, ho
tola, hnnkri, doctors, luwynra, carpenters,
painters, laborers, Ac., &o., Hulllclmit to
consumo WiN).(MH) more anuunlly with
out giving any person more than a fair
living. The silk mill boom has been
sent broadcast over the country, and In
all probability before tbo mill Is in op
oration new business places will bo
started in town and laboring men will
flock in until the town will bo over-run
again nnd those who remain hero will
cko out an existence as many have been
doing tho past few years. Wo aro
anxious to see HoynoldsvlllolM-coino tho
loading town between rittsburg and
Wllliatnsport, and for that reason do
not want to see It utunted now that it
has prospects of growing by over
crowding the town with business houses.
We don't want to bo considered a iieshl-
mlst, but we want to state facts as they
exist, and we buliovo no ono will gain
say what we have said. As tho popula
tion of the town Increases, if It does,
and there Is a demand for more business
places, then it will bo tlmo to start now
stores.
Ilullrr Hartrrla.
A clover microscopist has discovered
that the dolicoiis tasto and odor of
spring grass butter Is due to the )resenco
of a peculiar species of microbe. Ho
has succeeded In Isolating these micro
scopic creatures, and has obtained cul
tures which rapidly reproduco thorn'
solves when placed In favorable sur
foundings. This scientific experiment'
er found that when a few of the butter
bacteria woro placed In a tub of very
ordinary or very poor butter, having
perhupti a strong, unploasant odor and
taste, they proceeded at once to multi
ply, and that In a short time they
caused an entire change to take place
In the butter whereby the disagreeable
qualities vanished while the delicious
grass flavor and taste developed. Now
wo learn that a company has purchased
.the secret of the reproduction of the
butter bacteria, and is Issuing circulars
to dairymen all over the country offer
ing butter flavor cultures for sale, put
up In small phials. This remarkublo
statement might well bo doubted; but
we have ascertained that it Is an actual
foot, and wo believe that purchasers
have found that the claims are well
founded. The buttor microbe belongs to
the benoflolont class of small creatures
whose province In Nature seems to bo
to arrest decay and putrefaction. Its
discovery is entirely novel, and Its
practical application to tho Improve
ment of butter Is a praiseworthy de
velopment of science. Whether tho
microbes will find a suitable habitat in
oleomargarlno we do not know; It
would seem not unlikely, however, that
they would thrive In this artlflolal pro
duct, and thus render it more difficult
to detect the Imitations from real but
ter. Philadelphia llecord.
'A Progressive Newspaper.
The Time has a largor circulation by
many thousands than any other dally
newspaper published in Pittsburg.
This is admitted even by its competitor.
The reasons for It are not hard to
find. The Times is a tireless news
gatherer, Is edited with extreme oaro,
spares no expense to entertain and in
form its readers. It prints all tho news
In compact shape, caring a) ways more
for quality than quantity. It keeps Its
columns clean, but at the same time,
bright. Nothing that is of human In
terest is overlooked by it. It aims to be
reliable rather than sensational. It
bolleves in the goeel of get there, but
it gets there with due respect for the
faoU. Test any department of it you
choose political, religious, markets,
sporting, editorial, society, near town
news and you'll find the Times may be
depended upon. 13 a year, fl cents a

Boys and girls, wo have become some
what discouraged In giving you good
advice from week to woek. It doesn't
seem to have any effect iion you. You
have, hy your actions, thus far shown
that you "don't caro a fig" for opMirtnn
Hies, advleo, or anything else that
tends towards benefiting you education
ally. One thing your "uncle" fools
certain about and thnt Is this, that an
excess of lectures, entertainments and
parties during this term have seriously
hampered and Interfered with success
ful school work, and taken up vnluablo
time that could havo boon employed to
bettor ndvantago, but the dlo Is cast
nnd tho result Is self evident, nnd noth
ing more remains to be said.
Wo give you this week somo cboico
thoughts from tho pen of eminent men
throughout our bind, hoping that you
will read them carefully and profit
by their example.
(l(K)D AliVlCK.
Rev. T. DcWitt Tnlmage, In com
menting from tho pulpit on tho will of
Mr. Pullman nnd his roferenco to his
boys, said:
"Self-rellanco makes mon. Kino
clothes will not muko a man; advleo
will not iiiuke a man; a big bank account
will not mnko a man. Givo your boy
tho same chance thnt you havo had.
Throw him overboard. When a boy
comes to 21 years of age ho ought to bo
doing something elso besides taking
milk out of a bottle.
"It Is not what you surround your
son with that foretells what ho will ho.
No young man ever rodo to success In
mi upholstered currlnge. Ho walks. It
matters very little what Is outside of
him, but what you put insldo of him.
In nine eases out of ten when you glvo
your buy nothing but money you only
pay his way to destruction. Every
young man has to start at tho foot and
reach for tho first rung."
Another good pieco of udvlco for
young men is tho following:
Stand up to tho rack, my boy, and
you will find hay In It. Put on your
working harness every morning and
mako want a stranger. Don't wait for
a job that suits your taste, but take tho
llrstono you can strike. If you can't
get $.' a month, take 2T, take $10, tako
any amount till you can do better even
If you only get your bonrd. These are
hard times, but you can find smoothing
to do enough to keep you out of mis
chief. Remember that whilo tho devil
tempts all men, a lazy man tempts tho
devil. Live within your means, not by
your meanness. Don't take up bad
habits: they will pull you down. Don't
try to get something for nothing; It
tends to tho workhouse. There aro a
lot of young follows like yourself In tho
world; but a good job, a good living, a
good homo, awaits every fellow who
has grit enough to battle for it.
DO EVERYTHING WELL.
Every boy wants to exoell In some
thing. But boys and mon alike do not
alwayB romembor that no one thing
must havo the hubtt of doing well.
You cannot slight everything else and
succeed In one chosen game, or one par
ticular study. Aim ut perfection. ' Tho
advice of tho teacher which is here
given is worthy of careful attention.
A young student whom wo know was
very ambitious to gain a certain rank
in his class which would entlllo him to
a scholarship; If he gained the scholar
ship he could go on with his course.
A well known professor was Interested
in the lad's success. Ho instructed him
In a part of his studies and found him a
vory bright student; so he thought It
possible for him to gain his purpose,
though it meant perfect marks for him,
in everything, for a wholo year.
"Nobody gets perfect marks Id every
thing," tho boy objected.
"That is nothing to tho point," said
tho toucher. "You are perfect in my
recitations; do as woll in tho others.
But I notice that you write poorly.
Now bogln there. Whenever you form
a word, either with tongue or pon, do It
so plainly that there will be no mistake.
This will help you to think clearly and
to speak accurately. Let your whole
mind be given to tho least thing you do
while you are about It. Form the habit
of excellence."
The student wont resolutely to work
and before the year was far on its way,
was the leader in his class; he gained
his scholarship, and more than that, he
acquired character that has since won
him a shining success. Younu I'tople't

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN'S BOYHOOD.
Benjamin Franklin worked while
other boys spent tholr time la Idle
sports. The money they spent In beer
he spent in books. Ho pledged him
self against strong drinks and lived
frugally. While working at the press
he found ample tlmo for severe atudv.
The Spectator gave him style; FeFoe on
"Projocts" made him an inventor;
Mather on "Doing Good" made him a
philanthropist; Locke and Zenophon
maae mm a pnuosopner, and the Bible
made him a Christian.
