From Uie Landf Good Intentions you can look across the years, Far above tbe dismal valley of dlstresslul doubts and fears; You can see the golden future, smiling In the morning sun, You can hear the din of battles that arc lightly fouht and won; You can see the broad road leading "to the country of success, Winding through the pleasant meadows on the Hills of Happiness. In the Land of Good Intentions you may He all day and dream Underneath the trees that whisper io a sil ver, silent stream. You may plan enchanting journeys toward . the rim of yonder sky, Picturing the fame and fortune that you : hope for by and by. Far ahead you watch Ambition bidding men But the blue sky of the present smiles invit ingly for you. Oh I The Land of Good Intentions Is a pleas ant place to dwell When the sun of Youth ana springtime weaves Its magic mystic spell; I But soon the leaves will wither that shine golden In the trees. And the chill of Age and Winter will be felt In every breete; And If you too fondly linger you shall come to know at last That the Land of Good Intentions Is the Desert of the Past. James J. Montague. HEREDITY. There Is almost always an unpleasant sense In which people speak of heredity. Somehow we are more apt to look for an an cestral explanation of the dark streak In a man than wn are for the good we find In him. - and yet, Is It not Just as likely that the credit of much that is good In tis nhoclU he given to those who have gone before? In our cone it we oftentimes think that the good accom plished by us is very largely the effect of our own exertion, and It undoubtedly is; but both good and bad tendencies can be Inher ited, and It Is a thankless treatment of our forefathers to credit them with ' the bad alone. If each of us comes to thing of himself as a ort of little Image of the world, we shall find In our selves record of the way the world has progressed In Its upward climb and conquest of things terrestrial one generation Is con stantly taking a fresh start from the point reached by the generation before it. If mlr rorred In the lives of each of us, then the high morality or the pure purpose that we think we discover in ourselves may after all be only a short upward step beyond the point reached In our earlier family history. We do not lessen the Importance of our own lndl Tlduallty by praising those who have helped to our result. The smallest Individual Is he who gives credit to no one in speaking of his own achievements. The great st Is he who recognizes that his own little Individuality ts simply a temporary expression of the greater fact than himself the marvelous human race. It has above all creation pow er to conquer and power to constantly rise from one height to another. Consequently heredity In Its broadest sonse Is a most satisfying thing. Each of us has an Inheritance at his control which Is greater than any given to any other created being an Inheritance and Interest In all the history and all the accomplishment that has o far been recorded, and an Inheritance that In our hands can be made a little more and a little greater for those who follow. CD AVLD LAjSO SYXE. The followlLg reminiscent Items are taken from Tm Eitmoldsvilli Papir of March 22nd, 188 twenty-seven years ago, It Is an every day occurrence to hear rent ers remark that they "cannot rent a house for love or money." Why not build houses and thus supply this want? It will certainly pay. Don't let our town be kept from Increas ing her population for want of dwelling houses. Reynoldsvllle loses two prominent business men and citizens In Dr. 8. Reynolds and W. 4e Gontard, who leave on the first of April or8cranton, where they will engage In bus iness, v Hall & Vaughn, the tannery firm, have let the contract of building fifteen dwelling houses to R. B. Taylor. Work on the new buildings will be commenced;immedlately. B. 8. Belnap has purchased tho tea store formerly owned by W. W. Blake and will continue the business at the same place. Rev. J. 0. McDonald will, preach on danc ing next Sunday evening. All are Invited. Some time ago Tom Reynolds, Jim Tapper aadJohn Dillman purchased the stage line running between Reynoldsvllle and Punx eutawney from Ed Barry. After a few days of ownership they sold It to W. W. Blake, who Is now tbe sole proprietor. DuBols Is to have a National bank of Issue. F. K.Arnold and L. P. Seeley, of Reynolds vllle, and J. K. Long, of Brookvllle, are the projectors. From the above It seems that some of our capitalists Intend Investing cap ital elsewhere. Would It not be about n profitable and at the same time help greatly the future of' Reynoldsvllle, to Invest it at , home? We hope, for the sake of our town, thoy will reconsldenihe mntt.r.

An Odd Nugget of Gold. ' .There have been many large and, oddly shaped gold nuggets found In the United States and elsewhere, but the oddest of them all was that dis covered at the Mldhas mine, ou Sulky gully, near Melbourne, Australia. In 1887. The nugget was fiat and almost the exact counterpart In contour of a colossal human band held open, with the exception of the thumb and fore finger, which were closed together in manner so aa to make it appear that the thumb was holding the finger In place. Its greatest length was twelve and a half inches and its greatest breadth eight inches. It was of the very purest gold, with but a little of foreign substances adhering, mostly between the "fingers," nnd weighed 617 ounces. It was found in tbe north west main drive of tbe Mldhas mine. 120 feet below the surface or the earth and at a spot only fifty feet from where the famous Lady Hrnssoy nug get was discovered the year before. It weighed fifty-one pounds of pure gold. Mme. Rejane at Rehearsal. lime. Iiejane at one of her rehearsals was endeavoring to impress upon a young actor the necessity of a tragic expression. "Put yourself In his place," she said. "But I have never been through such an experience," the other pleaded. "Well, then," retorted the nctress, "Imagine you have lost 300 or 400 louts at baccarat and that you have been dismissed from tbe company." His face fell. "There you have It," said she. "Keep that expression and you will win." For a young woman who could not weep to order she tried a heroic cure. "Very well. I will take the part away from you. Vou are not pretty enough." This had the desired effect, and tbe floodgates opened. "Weep like that and you will be the hit of the piece," exclaimed Rejane triumphantly. London M. A. P. Balzao and Black Coffee. Balzac was addicted to the use of strong black coffee and depended upon It as a nervous stimulant during the hours which he devoted to composi tion. Its effect be has himself de scribed in these words: "The coffee falls into your Btomach. Immediately everything starts Into ac tion. Your ideas begin to move like Grand Army battalions on tbe battle field, nnd the battle opens. Memories arrive at a run, standards flying; the light cavalry of comparisons breaks Into a magnificent gallop; the artillery of logic dashes up and unlimbers; thoughts come rushing up as sharp shooters; characters spring up on all sides; tbe paper becomes covered with ink, for the struggle has begun and ends In torrents of black water like the battle In black powder." Burns as a Tax Collector. In the olden day candles were taxed articles, and It was the duty of Robert Burns as an excise officer to see that tho tax was not evaded. He generally looked tbe other way, however, as when passing through the kitchen one night' at William Lorimer's of Kenni shall, where tbe gudewlfe was busy making candles, he merely remarked. "Faith, madam, ' ye're thrang the nlcht," and passed Into the parlor. St. James' Gazette. The Mountains Bother Them. The British have had heaps of trou ble in Slam to make the natives under stand that tbe world is round instead of flat. Indeed, the native teachers keep on teaching the children that It Is flat, and when argued with they re ply, "If it Isn't flat why do the moun tains stand np as they do Instead of rolling downhill r ' A Financier's Observation. "He spends money like a prince," said tbe man wbo makes trite compar isons. "Perhaps," replied Mr. Dustin Stax.

"I nra told that Jones Is n regular leech, is thnt'truer ' ' . "No; I would hardly say that A Irych. you know, never gets stuck, on himself." . . A LIGHT ATMOSPHERE. . Why Smoke, "Beats Down" When It ' Leaves a Chimney.' "It's getting ready for a storm. See how the smoke beats down just as soon as It comes out of the chimney? That's because the ulr Is so heavy it pushes the moke down before it has time to rise." One often hears this stated as fact concerning that most generally talked of subject on earth, the weather. The speaker was probably right under those ' conditions In prophesying a storm, but he was scarcely right in assigning as a reason that "the air is so heavy it pushes the smoke down." Nearly everybody knows it is easier to swim in salt water than in fresh water. As salt water is heavier than fresh water It Is evident that the heav ier the liquid tbe greater tbe buoyant force. The atmosphere exerts a buoyant force upon the smoke from chimneys in exactly the same way that water exerts a buoyant force upon a swim mer. Therefore when the smoke "beats down" as soon as It leaves a chimney it must be concluded that the buoyant force exerted upon It is relatively small and that the air Is not heavy, but light A light atmosphere, or, rather, a sudden lessening of the pressure of the atmosphere generally, takes place before a storm. Therefore the smoke from chimneys, If observed Intelligent ly, furnishes a pretty good weather Indicator. Chicago Record-Herald. VEGETABLE FOODS. Spinach Rich In 8ulphur and Iron, Pumpkin In Phosphorus. The French have a saying that "pars ley is a broom to sweep tbe stomach." Lettuce is a nerve food. Radishes build tissue nnd are rich In phosphor us and in iron. Horseradish contains a higher per centage of sulphur than all the other vegetable roofs, spinach ranking next in value. Spinach also contains a large proportion of iron. A mayonnaise dressing with lettuce Is especially desirable for thin people, but for the overplump French dress ing is to be recommended.' The ac tion of vinegar on the digestive organs, however, Is not to be considered. The acid of lemon juice Is preferable. While apples are a most excellent fruit for brain building, which phos phorus aids lu, the humble pumpkin, desecrated to tbe uses of pie and jack o' lanterns, holds the prize. Pumpkin rates 2.70 In phosphorus, while apple is but .45. ' When in search for this special ele ment take up a pumpkin diet. But as winter squash would stand the same analysis it can be used as a vegetable in many varieties aud thus tbe needed phosphorus supplied. Cucumbers rank next In phosphorus value to pumpkin, being 2.08. Vegetarian Magasine. The Tricky Fox. A gentlemoiT, while hunting near a river one winter day saw a fox run out on tbe ice and make at full speed for an opening In tbe Ice where the rushing water of the river could be plainly seen from tbe bank, says tbe Scotsman. At the edge he stopped, turned, followed his tracks back to tbe bank and tben ran some distance down the stream and sat there. Soon a dog came crashing out of the woods, bay ing finely, hot oa the fox's trail. Now, dogs when on a chase of this bind trust almost entirely to their noses. This one was no exception. He ran along the ice. bead down, nnd when he reached the hole he could not stop, but plunged into the water and disap peared forever. Then the fox trotted away with every sign of satisfaction. The Praetorian Guard. The Praetorian guard was a select body of troops Instituted by the Em peror Augustus to protect his person and consisted of ten cohorts, each of 1,000 men, chosen from Italy. They had peculiar privileges and when tbey had served sixteen years were retired on a pension of about $500. Eacb member of the guard had tbe rank of a captain In the regular army. Like the bodyguard of Louis XIV., they were all gentlemen and formed grad ually a great power, like the janizaries at Constantinople, and frequently de posed or elevated the very emperors themselves." ' The Dead in India. Three distinct methods of disposing of the dead are In vogue in India. While tbe Mohammedans Inter tbe dead, the Hindoos prefer to throw tbe bodies into the purifying waters of tbe Ganges, and even now there are con stant infractions of the severe regula tions framed to suppress this danger ous practice. The form of funeral adopted by the Porsccs Is that of sim ply exposing their dead ot a great a HI tudo to tbe scavenging services ot crows and vultures. '' ' Procrastinate.
