Tbe Btudanta of the acts of the Inst legislature toll us that among the other acts passed and approved by tbe governor Is one imposing a posslhle fine of $5,000 and ImpriHonmont for five years upon those who maliciously cir culate go-sip calculated to Injure the reputation of others. It would be diffi cult to conceive of a more mischievous agent of Satan than the retailor of in jurious reports about others. In very many instances perfectly Innocent per sons have died of grief and shame, the result of absolutely false stories curl ingly circulated concerning them. In other instances a molehill of truth has been magnified into a mountain of exaggeration and irreparable harm done to one who was no worse than the majority of his fellows rnd better In every way than buiti.j of those who aided to blast his reputation. We needed a law to this BtuLu to punjuh the busy bodies who are never happy unless tearing reputations to shreds. .DuBols Express. ' There are Others, Remember when you read something in a newspaper that does not please you that the same article may please hun dreds of other readers of the same paper, When all olasnes of people different nationalities and different re ligious belief are subscribers for a newspaper the newspaper would soon be of little account In the community If the editor catered to one sect or one nationality. A secular newspaper muBt be liberal If It would exist. It cannot be narrow or selfish. Therefore, when the newspaper gives some person, or class of people, whom you do not like, a favorable notice, just remember If it were you or your class of people that were receiving the favorable notice that some other class would have as much right to get provoked as you would have in a similar case. Be Loyal Citizens. . ,The Holy Book says that the man who does not provide for hit own It worte than an infidel. The tame may, with equal truth, be said of tbe man whodoet not ttand by bit own town. To tpeak dlsparlngly ot one't town, to point out lta thortcomtngt and be tilent at to Its merits, to trade elsewhere and care not if the home merchant mtket living out of hit business, to com' plain of the men in office and do noth ing to put good men in all this It unpatrlotlo and is the name In charac ter, if not in degree, with the action of men who constantly praise other countries at the expense of their own. Promotes Civic Pride. e . Here and there " throughout the country communities are awakening to tbe benefit to be derived from a neat and orderly appearance, and a sort of municipal house cleaning It carried out. Under the lead of the city authorities or tome Improvement So ciety nearly everybody turns out on a given day to clean up and improve streets, alleys, ' vacant lots, etc. It it a good thing in more wayt than one. It promotes civlo pride, develops love of neatness and beauty, im proves sanitation and makes the vil lage, city or town a far more desirable place In which to live. . Sanitary Neglect. It is said that the population of the new town of MesBlna in Italy is likely to suffer an outbreak of disease because of tbe utter neglect of sanitation. If such does occur tbe survivors will prob ably say it was the will of God and tbe workings of a mysterious providence. Thlt fashion of .throwing the responsi bility on the Almighty it not unknown in this country. Many families have dirty cellars and premises Hhat Invite sickness, and when it does come aod ote of tbe family die they wonder why it happened and begin to question lb goodness of tbe Supreme Being. Use Pure Copper Sulphate. Ah the time of thu year Is here when much eulphatn of cupii-r. or blue vit riol, will bd used In milking thu Bor deaux mlxtuHn fur spraying fruit trees, potatoes, etc., State Zoologist Surface calls attention to the ni'0'neliv of ob taining the purrst sulphate of cupper In the market, in order to ki'Cikh thu best results. One of the most difficult and expen sive problems In the m inufaoture of oopper sulphate Is to eliminate the sulphate of Iron. A considerable per centageof iron sulphate may be mixed with copper sulphate without Its pres ence being detected. There are qtial Itles of Iron Bulphate on the market containing a large percentage of Iron sulphate, so as to render the article almost worthless for spraying purposes, A good cooper sulphate should present porfectly clean, sharp crystals. Grow- Ing trees and plants are poor things to run any risk with, and, hence, those porsons who are caring for them by spraying should use the best materials, clean blueetoue and pure lime. Buy of reliable dealers is the advice on the subject given by tbe Division of Econ omic Zoology nf the Pennsylvania De partment of Agriculture. Last year sulphate of copper sold at an unusually low price, owing to depression In tbe copper market and general dullness in business. While conditions have been hotter this spring, there has been no material ndvanne In the price of tbe sulphate. It will be observed that this materia'. 1b spoken of in this article as sulphate of copper, copper sulphate, blue vitriol and blue stone. It is known by each of these namcB. Cash Road Decision. A court decision of wide Interest was banded down by Judge Wood, at Bedford, a lew days ago, in which it is held that where a township has adopted the cash read system, it OHnnot return again to the work road system Tbe voters of Bedford county township, at an election held about a year or two ago declared in favor of the cash tax system, and after trial It was again submitted to a vote of the qualified electors, when a majority favored a return to the old system. This, Judge Wood holds they bad no right to do, and he has set aside tbe election. Bashfulness. Bashfulness Is a disease that every body should seek to be cured of as soon as possible, and the only cure Is to wear it off by constant friction with the world. Extreme seif-oon- tciousness is not only painful to the person who possesses It, but makes others uncomfortable. Egotism may be offensive, too, when it goes to the extreme, but it is not painfully so. We have the privilege of laughing at a vain person, but it Is rude and 111 mannered to laugh at a bashfut person. Punxsu tawney Spirit. Dairy and Food Commissioner Jamet Foust bat issued a warning that the new soft drink law will be vigorously enforced. Already tbe special agents of the Dairy and Food Division have taken samples of soft drink In prac tically every county in tbe State. These samples number 300, one-third of whloh have been found upon analysis to contain ingredients whlcb made their sale a violation of the laws. Suite have consequently been brought or else been ordered to be brought. Tbe data furnished by various Insti tutions for feeble minded people prove that work is one of tbe very beat things for them In that it stimulates them physically and mentally. In like man ner work Is also of Incalculable value to tbe man who il mentally and physio ally strong. The idle man becomes reckless, discontented and physically flabby. Work, apart from Its produc tive value, keeps men out of mischief and promotes health, contentment and happiness. A new law passed by the recent legis lature and signed by Gov. Stuart makes It a misdemeanor to overdrive a livery team or to keep it out longer than con tracted for. The penalty for a viola tion of the statute is a fine of 1100 00 and imprisonment In tbe county jail for thirty days. Let not tbe tongue be profaned with slander. If the temptation comes to olucd others In this way see to It that a lock be placed upon the lips. Slan-' dor, like all evils, injures most the person that utters it( for while it may work barm to others It rebounds with double force upon tbe slanderer. It is not easy to climb In any pursuit of life and the higher one gets tbe harder it becomes. But think of tbe compensation that comet In greater excellence, knowledge and success. Men seldom accomplish anything to which they put their bands until tbe thought concerning it becomes a master passion. Special bargains In dry goods depart' ment Thursday after supper. Blng Stoke Co.
