A bill hat been introduced In the Legislature which if passed will bo of great benefit to everyone. It provides that all law passed shall be published in the newspiiH'rs and give every one a chance to know what the laws of the State are. There are hundreds of cases which come up in court which are brought there through Ignorance of the law and would never havo reached thore had the law in the case beon known. It is true that the laws are all printed and put up iu book form but there are few outside of Justices of the Peace and Attorneys who will pay the price for them. Tho law is a good ono and should bo passed. A paper out west, having grown tired of boosting candidates which it knew ought to be behind the bars, and of put ting wings on decoasod persons when there was more call for asbestos gar ments, has prepared and issued a sched ule of rates governing the ordinary line of notices, as follows: "For calling a man a progressive citizen whenevcryonu knows he is lazier than a government mule, $2.75; referring to a deceased cit izen as one who is sincerely mourned by the entire community, when wo know be will only be missed in poker circles, $1.08; referring to some gallivanting femalo as 'an ostimabte lady whom it Is a pleasure to meet,' when every business man in town would rather see the devil coming, hoof, horns and all, than to see hor coming toward them, $3.10; speak ing of a candidate as a pleasant, amia ble gentleman who is spoken well of by a large circle of friends who have pushed his claim to office rather against his will, when we all know bo has al ways wanted some oftlco, from road mas tor up, since ho was 21 years of age, $1.07 per speak; culling an ordinary pulpit poundor 'an eminent divine' (10 coots." Doath is a subject upon which It is not wholesome for the mind to dwell. We know that It must come to all; and wo ought to live each day as though Doath would come to-morrow, and bo ready to recelvo tho grim messenger with our house In order. It Is bettor ' for us, when we think of death, to view It in its most plcasaut aspects and not look upon It as a horrible monster who tears our loved ones from us and carries thorn off to a dungeon called the grave. Here Is a vsweet- picture of death by Leigh Hunt: "To me few things ap pear so beautiful as a young child In Its shroud. The little, innocent face looks so sublimely simple and confiding among the terrors of death. Crimeless and fearless, that little mortal passed under the shadow and explored the mystery of dissolution. Thore Is death in its subl lines t and purest Image; no hatred, no hypocrisy, no suspicion; no care for the morrow ever darkened that little one's face. Death has come lov ingly upon it. There is nothing cruel or harsh In its victory." Similarly death is beautiful when it comes to ripe old age, whose life has been a loving sacrifice for others; who has triumphed over the temptations of a wicked world, and with serene faith in a glorious res urrectloq, watches the sun of existence as it sinks below the western horizon. Punxsutawney Spirit. Annual Election. At the annual mooting of the stock holders of The Roynoldsvlllo Building and Loan Association to be held Mon day', February 20th, 1800, at 7.30 K M. n election of four directors and one auditor will be held.

McEntirk, Sue S.lk Ml 1 Notes. Tho Ci.ld snap we have been enjoying for the past ten days has prevented much program being made In the fixing up of the Interior on the second floor of the silk mill, which was wrecked. Frost to tho thickness of an Inch is cov ering walls, ceilfng and windows, and notwithstanding the heat furnished by two huge stoves which have been set up and kept roaring, not much progress is made In the way of unfreezing the Ice covered walls. Hut on the floor below the partition separating the fifty looms placed directly under the wrrckod part has been removed. Shafting and belt ing have been connected with tho main shaft, and loom fixer Lorenzo Keys, un der supervlson of foreman Peter Durand, Is busily engaged starting this new sec tion. Engineer Felix Malberty has been sick the latter purt of tho week. Ex cessive cold has b 'en tho cause of his temporary Indisposition. We are glad to learn thai this worthy countryman of Dante is feeling much better now. In a month from to-day every one of the 200 power looms In the weaving room will be running. Speed will be Increased and production will ,bu In creased In proportion. Saturday last young Maud McMullon had her hair, which she wears In long heavy braids, caught around the shaft of one of the winding frames and was for an instant scared to death. Super intendent Ph. Chavent Immediately hastened to her and running the ma chine backward succeeded In disentang ling tho silken hair of the young girl, who will horcufter be more careful, and like her companions, wear her hair tied up high on her golden head. Although silk machinery is the least in tho range of dangerous machinery, as the smallest obstacle encountered in the way cf Its running power Is sufficient to stop the machine Immediately, It Is, neverthe less, Imprudent to go around these ma chines with flowing hair, as some young er girls do. They have plenty of time when outsldo the mill to make a display of their wealth of curly ornament, but at tho mill by tying them up they will sparo themselves, If not an accident, at least an instant of strong emotion, which it Is always better to avoid. Black John, Ex-Loom Fixer. Coming Here. "Uncle Tom's Cabin," that old, yet ever-new drama, was presented Satur day afternoon and evening at the Elev enth Avenue opera house to two of the biggest audiences which ever assombled in Altoona. Hobson & Co., owners of the big company, havo secured some of the best actors to produce the play, and the result was manifested In frequent storms of applause. George E. May, as Uncle Tom, delineated to perfection the character of tho aged and honest slave; Addle La Porte made acnpital Ophelia; Charles Hrlckwood, as Marks, and Sam La Porte, as Phineas, proved a clever brace of comedians; H. Stanley Lewis, a good juvenile actor, was seen to advan tage as George Harris; Mae La Porte's Topsy was a remarkably good bit of burnt-oork comedy, her songs and dances resulting In many encores: Cbas. Yorke, as the heartless "Legree;" gulned many hisses for his villainy and showed himself a most capable charac ter actor, and the balance of the cast wore well fitted in thulr respective roles. The band and orchestra were far above the average, and Hobson & Co. may expect another series of big houses should they again visit Altoona. Moniiny Tribune, Altoona, Pa., Feb. 6, 1800.

Her classmates are sorry that she Is unable to be with them during the remainder of the term. Many pupils, especially of the lower rooms, were absent a great part of the time last week on account of the sovere cold weather. The Seniors completed Astronomy ast. Friday. Political Economy will bo taken up tho latter part of this week. The intenso cold of last week did somo damage to the school building. Tho appearance of tho walls in some of the rooms was somewhat changed by the cracking of tho plaster, and the whiting fulling from those places to the floor. One of the students on being asked to give a philosophical explana tion for the cause of the cracking and falling of tho plaster replied: "What ever goes up must come down." Should visitors mnke their appear ance at school about the noon hour, they would, doubtless, be under the Impression that the building is being used for a free lunch house Instead of school purposes, owing to the number of pupils who eat dinner here. Mr. Weaver is greatly beautifying his school room by paintings on the windows. The scenes give his corner of the building a cheerful apppearance from without as well as within. Misses Ella Lonkord and Effle Milll- ren and Mr. Brown, of Milllren's store, drove toward DuBois last Tuesday. We have every reason to believe that they did not reach their destination. During very cold weather the stu dents of the High School can experience every degree of temperature from in- tense cold to torrid heat at one time and without moving from their seats. While their feet are freezing, their heads are being scorched by heat. We do not meun to insinuate that It is due to the huutlng system. The schools failed to celebrate Lin coln's Birthday. Since there will be no school on the 22nd, we believe Wash ington's will be celebrated with as much enthusiasm as would be demanded by the birthdays of a dozen ordinary great men. We heartily agree with Mr. Cooper that JetTorson county should have a poor farm, not merely because several of the neighboring counties have them, but we feel it would be to the county's advantage as well as a benefit to those who would find employment on it. The county at present baa more than its share of rovers and loafers. We have beon informed that there is no room for any more of them in the vicinity of Roynoldsvlllo, as apartments at Hotel de Coke-oven cannot be had at any price. In case It be impossible for Jef ferson county to have a poor farm, and it become the destination of those who rap lightly on your back door and an swer the queries of those Inside with a "plaze, mum, kin yuz glvvus a bit of ground ooffoe or a little suthln to eat?" someone has suggested that the public schools be opened to received them, and enforce the educational law. Under those circumstances many of the tramps would not regard Ueynoldsvllle as a very important station along the "rail road of the roughs," while we are posl tlve that those who should stop would greatly increase the burdons of truant officer, Warniok. . Hawloy Smith, In his lecture, "We, the People," said that out of every hundred pupils who enter the primary grades, thore are on an average six graduates. Three of the present Sen iors will be the only Reynoldsvllle High School graduates from the class of near ly a hundred pupils who entered the first primary grade In the old building in 1880. The views of the most important places I if the White City appeared on the screen before the Shakespearean Literary Society lust Friday afternoon Prof. Lenkurd occupied about two hours and a half showing the soenes and glv' ing a brief, but very appropriate and lnstruottve description of each. . Hon S. B. Elliott was present, and enjoyed the entertainment with the students. Dr. J. W. Foust has beon visiting the schools quite regularly the last few weeks. Poor House Talk, n. M. Spaiildlng. one of the county commissioners of Bradford county, was In town last week on business pertain ing to his office. By virtue of his office Mr. Spaiildlng Is ono of the overseers of the poor houso of his county, and In conversation with Thomas Keys, Esq., gave a few general points which are of ntercst just now to the taxpayers of JetTorson county. Bradford county built Its county poor house n 1882. At that period thn cost of building material and labor whs much higher than at present. The farm cost about $10,000 and the buildings $.'i0,000. When tho building was started thore were 4i0 paupers in the county, but hen collected for tho county home less than two hundred became Inmates. Since then tho number of inmates has averaged 175 during the winter and from 130 to 1-40 during the itimmer. The cost of maintenance for 1807 was $1.25 a week for each head, but It is ex- cted the cost for the last year was much ess. Last year from 1,200 to 1,400 bushels of potatoes were raised on the farm, with other crops In proportion. There are also twenty-six milk cows on the farm, und two teams. The help em ployed are an overseer und his wife at a salary of $050 a year for tho two and two teamsters at $.'10 a month each. The wives of the teamsters also live at tho home and help, but are paid no wages. There Is also an insane department in which an overseer and his wife aro em ployed at a salary of $550 for the two. In this are thirty-five inmates. If the department was built to conform with state regulations, the county would re ceive $1.50 a week for each patient from the state appropriation. The medical attendance is let by contract to tho low est bidder, tho amount paid at present being $180 a year. Mr. Spaulding Is an affable and intel ligent official, and he says the taxpayers of Jefferson would not only save money by establishing a county home, but the poor would bo better cared for and made more comfortable in their mis fortune.

My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appotlte gradually grow ing weaker day by day. Three doctors had given me up.
