To some this advice is useliss, an they naturally tako everything that comes If they can carry it away, Tho French statistician, Dr. Llvrlor, nays half of all human beings die before seventeen; that only one person In 10,0(10 lives to be 100 years old, and that only nno person out of every 1,000 lives to be sixty. A German biologist nays that tho two sides of tho face are never alike; In two cases out of five tho eyes are out of line; one eye Is stronger than the other In seven nut of ten, and the right eye Is generally higher than tho left. There Is scarcely a family in tho land Into whom; home somn nowspaper of some description does not find Its way. The members of that family may never look Inside the cover of a magazine, but they experience a sensation of loss If their newspaper fails to reach them. Tho silk worm was originally found In China, and fabrics of this material wore made in that country about 2,700 D. C. It is claimed that IKK) yards of silk is produced by a single worm, and there are nearly thirteen pounds of waHto silk, designated as "thrown silk," for every pound of silk. Id speaking of Republican candidates for tho Congressional Indorsement of this county, Hon. W. O. Smith, editor of tho Punxsutawney Spirit, who Is a candidate himself, says: "Up to the hour of going to press wo have hoard of but three candidates spoken of for the Congressional indorsement of Jofferson county. They aro J. B. Hondorson, of Brookville, and A. J, Truitt, Esq., and W. O. Smith, of I'unxsutawney. Mr. Henderson has not positively announced his Intention of becoming a candidate, nor has he said that he would not be. We understand .that Mr. Truitt has made up his mind to run, and we are fully assured that Mr. Smith will sub mit his caso to the people. While the other asplrantB are both gentlemen of character and calibre, against whom we have nothing to say, we havo no hesi tancy In assorting that we are for Smith. We have reliable Information to the effect that his chief object In wishing to servo tho people tn the legislature was to acquire tho training necessary to fit him for Congress, and to uso that office as a stopping stone to the highor posi tion, and wo would not llko to see him thrown overboard when ho is apparent ly on e verge of realizing his ambi tions. We would therefore ask our friends to glvo Smith a kindly boost to help to lund htm In Congress. Inalocturo during the recent Institute In Jefferson county, Dr. O. T. Corson, of Columbus, Ohio, president of Nation al Eduoatlonal Association, said: "Tho business of tho home and of the school is to build up character. The average publlo school Is run with less friction than the average homo. Moral train ing should not be merely a name, as re spect for home and school government is the best safuty-guard a young man may have. The home should stand by the school. One of the greatest prob lems Is not so much how to teach or w hat to teach, but how to keep boys and girls out of society long enough to pre pare thorn for the right kind of society. Few young people's nerves are destroyed by over-work or over-study; but many by loss of sleep and trying to fulfil) so ciety requirements. Hard work seldom kills. Thomas Edison could not belong to a labor organization for he works ' many hours over time every day. The schools are suffering from criticism by those who never enter a school room, just aa church troubles generally arise from those who are least regular in at tendance and pay the least for church support. The home and the school should oome luto friendly, sympathetic touches. Each wave of progress tides us on to a hlgherclvlllzatlon, which can be traced to the home, the church and the publlo school."

The following Is from the Forest litliuhlkon, edited by Hon. J. E. Wenk, who served two sessions In tho Legis lature with Hon. W. O. Smith, and ought to know what he Is talking about: "The matter of the election of a new Congress will again engross th atten tion of the people this yoar, and soon the candidates will be announced for the nominating convontlona that will be taking place early In the spring. In this connection It Is Interesting to note a now name that now and then Is mentioned for such honors. As, for In stance, that of Hon. W. O. Smith, of Jefferson county, who will be a lending factor in the canvass about to begin for tho nomination of a Republican candi date In the 21st district, composed of Jefferson, Indiana, Armstrong and Westmoreland counties. If every voter were thoroughly acquainted with Mr. Smith's peculiar fitness for this place, and then wore us thoroughly truo to his own Interests and the greatest good to his own district, the mere annmincu ment that ho would submit his name to the Republicans for their consideration, would bo sufficient to secure III in the nomination without a slnglu further effort. But of course this Is not the caso, and there Is need therefore that the candidate must acquaint his toople with his claims in order to receive their supMirt, and this is not always an easy matter nor very pleasant thing for him to do In his own behalf. Few men In the State from the country counties have bad a greater or more varied ex perience, or better t-clioulliig In matters of legislation than W. (). Smith, and finely no man has gained morn wisdom from that experience thnn he, all of which would be turned to gsw account for the benefit of his constituents were he sent to Congress. The happy faculty of making friends In tho leglslaturn was one of his strong points, and we doubt whothor any othor member bad so many as ho during any of tho four sessions ho passed at Harrlsburg. Through two of these sessions the writer sat with Mr. Smith in tho House and can testify to his great worth to his people in the way of getting favorable legislation through. His efforts In behalf of tho miners, of which the 21st district has thousands, were Indefatigable, as was alio his work for legislation favoring tho agricultur ist. Mr. Smith was not eternally bor ing the House with long-winded speeches. What ho had to say In do fonce of his legislation wns direct and to the point, and his remarks wore always attentively listened to and carried any measure through that ho advocated. We wouldn't give tho snap of our flngor for all the howlers and ranters In Christ endom, who are forever on their foot playing to tho galleries. Evorybody tires of them and their Influence Is al ways a negative one. Tho quiet, earn est worker, who keeps in touch with the work of the committees, who makes friends by his honesty and fairness, Is the one who comes out of a leglslutl ve sos Blon with the good things for his people. The very namo of such a member Is a guarantee to bis fellow members that the measures he advocates are just and fair, and always goes a long way toward their enactment Into law. The plain poople of Mr. Smith's district should de mand his nomination. To them his services will be Invaluable. He has a wide experience; he makes friends who In turn make him Influential; his am bition to become a great statesman would not get the bettor of him and bo cloud his usefulness to his Immediate constituency. His splendid work at Harrlsburg Is a guarantee that his Con gressional career would bo an honest, faithful and consistent one. By all means send W. O. Smith to Congress. Ho Is needed there and more just like him. Less talkers and more and better workers." Old Mexico.

A man who smokes four cigars a day and chews 215 cent worth of tobacco week, said he was too poor to take a local paper. He Is a smart man, tool And economical, well, I should smile. This same fellow was getting a Maine story paper and found that bv sending dollar lie aould got a cure for drunk enness. Sure enough he did. It was "take the pledge and keep It." Later on ho sent fifty two-cent stamps to And out how to raise beets successfully. He found nut. The answer came, "just take hold and pull." Being single he wished to marry and sent thirty-four ono-cent stamps to a Chicago firm to loarn how to make an Impression. When the answer came It read, "sit down In a pan of dough." That was a little rough but he was a patient man and ho thought be would succeed. The next advertisement he read, "How to double your money In six months." Ho was told to convert his money Into bills, fold them and he would see his money doubled. But he was bound to get some useful secret that ho could make money on so ho sent $.1 to find out how to write without pen and Ink. The answer was "Try a lead pencil." Then he sent a dollar to learn "how to get rich." "Work like the Satan and novur spend a cent." This was discouraging, but ho decided to try just once more and sent a two-dollar bill to learn how to live without work and was told to "fish for suckers as wo do."
