FREELAND, PA., JANUARY 12, 1893. PEOPLE cannot be too careful of how tbev allow themselves to be put under treatment for any ailment or disease by traveling quacks and ven ders of nostrums. An interview is published today in another column in which a man who was heralded as cured of rheumatism tells a different story from that of his alleged curer. Freeland has a corps of doctors loca ted here that are as highly educated in their profession as any set of men in the state, and those who think they can obtain more benefit by sub mitting their case to every fraud who happens to come this way generally receive an experience similar to that of Mr. Petrouse, of Drifton. TAKING "Shoddy" for his text, "VVm. B. Estell, our former townsman, published an article in a recent issue of the "World. His treatment of the subject is the most exhaustive and thorough that has yet appeared. Beginning at the very bottom, lie tells how shoddy is made, how it used and how the tariff helps it to destroy the market for American fleece. Mr. Estell s well known style of writing is brought out at its best in the eight columns he devotes to the subject, and his views on the matter make in teresting and instructive reading for all who care to learn how they are imposed upon in buj'ing clothing and how the tariff is responsible for this imposition. AVILLIAM L. WILSON, of West Vir ginia, according to a report from Washington, lias been decided upon by the radical wing of the Democratic par'y as'its candidate for speaker of the next house of representatives. Speaker Crisp, the present incum bent, has done his work faithfully during his term, but he has failed to keep step with the progressive spirit of his party. The Democracy of to day cannot wait until men of the Crisp stanq enlightened upon the economic principles that are now before the country; consequently Crisp must go to the rear and out of the way of progress. Wilson is the choice of the free traders, and his support will come entirely from those con gressmen who have removed every taint of protectionism from their records. He Ilia Ret. "Speaking of strange bets on an elec tion," said Colonel Joe Rucker, of Col orado, "the one that takes the ribbon over any I have ever seen mentioned was bet, lost and paid by an enthusias tic Greenbacker many years ago. One of these enthusiasts at that time, whose view of the political situation was seen through the roseate hued spectacles of a reform organ, was certain that a man by the name of Drown would be elected governor of Missouri, and bet every thing he had except the clothing on his back and a young wife. Either his af fection for his wife or his knowledge of law prevented his making a wager of her, so as a last bet he wagered his serv ices for a year against SSOO. "Of course he lost, and borrowing a few dollars from a friend he sent his wife back 'to her folks' in Missouri, while he presented himself to the saloon keeper in Denver with whom he had made the bet. The latter, more as a joke than anything else, grubstaked him and sent him out to prospect. The first month a small find rewarded his labors, and cupidity then cafised the sa loon keeper to insist on the payment of the wager in full. To curtail the narra tive, he carried out his wager of a year's service scrupulously and located two more mines, from which the winner, though now wealthy, is still drawing dividends. Upon the fulfillment of his obligation he sent for his wife, and is now employed by one of the street car I companies of Denver at about fifty dol lars a month, and will probably never ! get above that figure."—St. Louis Globe- Democrat.

I A WHITE WOODCHUCK BRIEF BIOGRAPHY OF AN EXTREME LY INTERESTING PET. A Wild Little Creature That Became Do mesticated by Kindness —His Long Pe riods of Sleep and How He Looked Dur ing Them—His Awukenlng. Some years ago in the spring, while traveling on the Belfast Branch railroad, just before arriving at Brook Station, I I chanced to be looking out of the car window and saw a curious looking ani mal run under a pile of brush in a gravel pit near the track. I concluded at once that it must be an albino woodchuck, as my husband had told me one had been seen in that vicinity. At the station I hastily procured a basket, and securing the assistance of two boys 1 proceeded without loss of time to the gravel pit, and overhauling some of the brush soon found the prize. As I had conjectured, it was an albino woodchuefc about two thirds grown, pure white, with pink eyes, and as saucy a little fellow as one would care to handle. Without much difficulty I dropped my basket over him, and securing him returned to the sta tion, boxed him up and expressed him home to my husband, with instructions to keep him on a milk diet until my re turn a week later. On returning home I found my pet en sconced in a nest of cotton, purring away like a contented kitten. He seemed quite reconciled to the restraints of captivity, had already become so tame as to allow his beautiful snow white coat to be stroked, and seemed especially to enjoy gentle stroking about the face, which I think is a characteristic of most wild animals, and one of the ways of estab lishing confidential relations with them. For the first year his food consisted prin cipally of bread and milk, with an oc casional handful of plantain leaves. A most interesting sight was to watch him while being fed. He would sit up like a squirrel, holding his food in his paws. He soon learned to take his milk from a spoon. Grasping it near the bowl, he would hold it very gracefully nntil the milk was all lapped out; then, with a lit tle assistance, would return it to the cup to be filled, and repeat the operation until his appetite was satisfied. Then he would go into his nest, roll himself up like a kitten and take a nap of several hours. With one exception he never showed his wild, savage nature during the two years of his life in confinement. Early in the fall the disposition to hi bernate began to show itself by his lack of activity, and he remained in his nest most of the time, liis sleep becoming so profound that he could be taken from the nest without awaking. About Nov. 1 liis sleep for the winter began. He was placed in the cellar, where the tem peraturo was very even—just above the freezing point—and here he remained without being disturbed until the mid dle of March. During all this time his body remained cold, and to all outward appearances life less. About the time of his awakening in March, upon visiting him and placing my hand on his body, I found it to be quite warm, and after rubbing him for a few moments he began to yawn and stretch, but did not get upon his feet. The next day I took him into a warm room in order to watch the process of awakening, rubbing his body and legs for an hour or more. He seemed quite indifferent to my solicitude on his be half, but gradually awakened, opened his eyes, chattered his teeth, and gave that peculiar whicker so characteristic of a disturbed woodchuck. His efforts to stand upon his feet were for some hours ineffectual. He seeined to have lost the use of them. Toward night, however, he seemed to regain full control of all his faculties and partook of a little milk. I was surprised to no tice but little loss of fat during the long period of sleep. He had become ex | cessively fat before going into his win | ter sleep, and I expected that would be absorbed during that period. His fur had become long and of a beautiful sil very gloss—so white and silky that it was a pleasure to stroke and pet him. Upon his first awakening and for a day or two he seemed to have forgotten his friends and manifested his wild na ture so much as to make himself very disagreeable. He ate with a voracious appetite and began to grow thin. In a few days he became a mere skeleton of his former self, and for several weeks— until June I—did not begin to take ou flesh. He now displayed more activity than at any other time during the year. The following winter his sleep was in terrupted once in two weeks. This was done by wrapping him in warm flannels and placing him in a warm room. He partook of but little food, and during the period of two days of broken rest he seemed very uneasy. About the last of March, when he should have awakened to activity, lie was taken sick and died in convulsions after a sickness of two days. I now have him nicely mounted in my collection, among which are several albinos, but none so perfect as my beautiful pet.— Cor. Forest and Stream. A Pair of Misers. Mr. and Miss Dancer are reputed the most notorious misers of the Eighteenth century. The manner in which this rouple were found after death to have disposed of their wealth was even more strange than could have been their method of acquiring it. The total value was £20,000, which was thus disposed of —£2,500 were found under a dunghill; £SOO in an old coat, nailed to the manger I in the stable; £6OO in notes were hidden j away in an old teapot; the chimney j yielded £2,000, stowed in nineteen sep | arate crevices. Soveral jugs filled with I coin were secreted in the stable loft.— j Cassell's Journal. A Profession for Him. Fond Mother (of delicate dude) —I think it is time Clarence selected a pro fession.

In the coal regions of Pennsylvania nearly every piece of available timbei has been cut away to form props for the archways and for various other uses in connection with coal mining. Nearly every stick and every piece of plank used in theso regions now all have to be brought from a distance. The Girard estate has endeavored to solve the pro blem by making some small plantations as a test. Eight years fgo a large num ber of larches and Scotch pines were planted; plow furrows were simply driven through the underbrush growing up where the old forests had been cut away, and one-year-old seedling larches and pines planted. The larches now average some seventeen or eighteen feet high, and are particularly healthy and thrifty. There can be no doubt, from these experiments, that forest planting in these regions would be an undoubted success. It may be noted that the larch was the most popular of forest trees in the early planting on the western prairie, but the leaves were attacked by a fun gus; the timber therefore did not prop erly mature. It finally fell into dis favor for forest planting. On these early experiments the larch has suffered much in reputation, but it must be remem bered that the western prairies furnish unfavorable conditions for the larch. It is a mountain tree, one thriving in comparatively poor soils, and the low altitude and rich earth of western prai ries were entirely foreign to its nature. The Girard plantings are some 1,400 or 1,500 feet above the level of the sea ; these are the conditions of its own home, and the remarkable healthiness of these trees shows that they appreciate the po sition in which they find themselves.— Meehan's Monthly. One Mau'w IVsHlminm. "The pessimism of some men is sim ply astounding," said a visitor in the city. "Why, I know a fellow who actu ally insulted another man for saving his life. The way it happened was this: "A devilish, bright but knockabout sort of a chap named Whittaker was one day sitting on the veranda of a country hotel in a southwestern town chatting with a number of friends. Some one happened to call him by name, and an old white whiskered gentleman stand ing near by came waltzing up to the crowd, and holding out his hand to Whit taker said: •• 'ls your name Whittaker?' " 'Yes,' was the reply. " 'Ain't you little Willie Whittaker, of Balesville, Ark.? 1 " 'Yes,' again. " 'Well, don't you remember the time you fell off aflatboat into the river about twenty years ago, and how you'd 'a' got drowned if I hadn't dived in and saved you?' " 'Yes,' Whittaker said, 'I do, yon old fool. What gpod did it do? I've been playing poker f6r twenty years and never won a cent. I've been kicked and cuffed over fourteen states, and I'm out of a job now. Goodby.' And the really in dignant Whittaker stumped off down the steps, leaving his innocent bene factor aghast with surprise."—St. Louis Republic. Tho Origin of Profanity. Swearing, it is presumed, came in with the original man, for as Adam was an agriculturist it is not presumed that he was free from the trials aud troubles, vexations and weaknesses of other farm ers. The old Greeks and Romans were most proficient and picturesque swear ers, and were accustomed to rattle up their gods in the most finished style when things weren't coming their way. To speak colloquially, it was a cold day when the Olympian deities did not hear their names taken in vain by the impa tient mortals who pursued their ordi nary duties or paved the way to classic textbooks for future generations. This reprehensible practice has prevailed in the Latin countries to the present day, and tho French woman says "raon Diou," and the Italian or Spanish woman swears by the sacred properties with as i little compunction as Octavia or Corne lia would have emphasized the name of ; Jove or coupled the altar of Vesta with an ordinary statement of fact. —New York World.

Under an order of the prefect, dated some years ago, they are gradually disappearing. No new ones are allowed to be built, and the old ones must not have any substan tial repairs done to them, but must be broken up when no longer, if the term may be permitted, seaworthy. The largest of all is called "La Samar itaine," and as this does not Boriously impede river traffic, and it is owned by a number of small shareholders, whose iu terest in it is being gradually extin guished, the new rule about repairs is less rigidly enforced than in some othei cases. La Samaritaine is, moreover, con sidered as in some sort a public estab lishment, inasmuch as it grants tickets at greatly reduced rates to children in public schools and to the poor of Paris. —London News.

Three Times in the Course of His Life He Has Seen the Shade of His Dead Mother, and Kacb Time She Seemed to j Be Trying to Warn Him of Danger. "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio" It came to the knowledge of a reporter quite by accident that in an eminently respectable house lying between Mad ison and Fifth avenues, on an eminently respectable street, a gentleman well know* in business circles has repeatedly experienced what may he called, on lack of a better word, visitations. This the reporter learned, while the gentleman was quite unaware of his connection with the press, Thanksgiving evening, when conversation turned on mesmerism and other occult subjects. From talk , to experiment the step was easy, when it was discovered that the man ii* ques tion was an almost perfect "sensitive" to hypnotic influence. The discovery was probably a surprise ] to most of those in the room. The man j is perhaps forty-five years old. under the | medium height, stout and inclined to j baldness, fond of ttie good things of life, i a shrewd business man, yet lie was ab | solutcly at the heck and call of an ama teur of tolerably developed hypnotic power. When, after some grotesque manifestations, the subject was restored to consciousness, the company, with one accord, pressed him to explain his feel ing while under the influence, "Yon are asking impossibilities," said the man good humoredlv, "for while in the hypnotic state my waking self is submerged, and I—real I, the ego of the metaphysicians—aui what is called unconscious, although something that must he a second I, or, alter ego, is obediently active. It is all as great a marvel to me as it can he to any of you. I am not a weak willed man or one easy to influence by ordinary methods, yet I have always been keenly susceptible to psychic influences." This caused a stir of expectancy in the little company. "I do not often speak of these things," went on the man after a little pause. "Such a nature as mine must seem un canny to others, and to he frank, in a business way I could not afford to he known as a "sensitive," hut I think I am safe to speak under this roof, "I can remember when quite a small boy seeing my uncle drive toward the country home where I then lived. While ho was yet far off, ami neither face nor attitude could have borne to me any visual hint, I knew that his son, my cousin William, was dead. I ran and sobbed in my mother's lap: 'Oh, mam mal Willie's dead! Willie's dead?' She chided me for my folly, as she be lieved. In a long two minutes my uncle drove up, looking ashen gray and sad, and the questions my mother would have put died upon her lips. It was true. My cousin hail died unexpectedly after the briefest illness. I couldn't have been more'than six years old, and had never heard of occult art of any sort, for ours were old fashioned country folk. "As I grew up experiences of this kind were more common. I was a stupid, bullet headed fellow in the main, hut in this special sense, as I must think it, I was and am extraordinarily gifted. To this I attribute the fact that on three occasions I have seen the ghost of my mother, who died very soon after the incident which I have just related." A stir of incredulity caused a rustle in the room, and 0110 festive chap whistled a bar of "Over the Fence Is Out." "Oh, X don't expect you to believe it," resumed the narrator easily. "In away I don't believe it myself. That is, 1 can't account for it, and my mind re volts against accepting anything against my reason. Yet lam brought face to face with the fact. Thrice in my mature life, while wide awake, fully clothed and as much in my right mind as I am at this minute, I have seen the shade, ghost or aura of my dead mother, seem ing not worn and thin, as I remember her, but young and fairer. And here is the curious part of it. She was clothed as in the days before my birth there were older children than I—in a dress which I had never seen or heard described, and of which no picture is in existence. Yet, by my description of the dress as I saw it, my oldest sister recognizes it perfectly." "What did the ghost say to you?" asked one of the party. "Nothing. Yet in each case the visit came before somo misfortune which was in a sense avertable. It seems to me as if the wraith of my mother was trying ineffectually to warn her favorite and j youngest child. The set face, the mourn , ful air, all so indistinctly Reen, might convey that impression. All the visits were at night. Twice the vision came when I was alone. The last time my wife was with me. I said nothing to her at the time, not wishing to alarm her. "But she can testify that I was wide awake. The room in which wo sat is large, and was at the time lighted only by a well shaded lamp, which left the farther end of the room in semiobscurity. But the figuro seemed interpenetrated with a light of its own. It did not move or beckon. It simply was and then was not." An odd Thanksgiving night tale, was it not? "I don't want my business asso ciates to suspect me of seeing visions," the gentleman concluded, "but this is my story, and I would liko to know what you make of it."—New York Re corder.
