FREELAND, PA., .JANUARY 20, 1898. A Friend <>r the 'POSSIIIII. The head of Hon. .J. ('. F. McCook, of Chattahoochee, is level on the 'possum measure, says the Columbia (Ga.) Ledger. We, too. are •* 'poesumists," but no pessimists, and we tremble with wrath and sadness at the present "slo ration" erf this king of meats, and pray for the time to come when the law wi'.l cloak him with better constitutional franchise and privilege at the festive persimmon tree —a longer lease on life and liberty, as in case of the dove and quail. "Equal rights to 'brer' 'possum and no special rights to the bird." Let the 'possum family increase and develop, and Christian religion and the democracy of our fathers do the same thing. The 'possum favors the most distinguished writer, William Shake speare, the world ever produced, and this fact alone ought to be sufficient for our civilian to honor in some degree him and his whole family. The "last, loveliest and the best" plea for this "brer" is, he is bashful, timid, unas suming and sweet like the winsome girl, and God bless yotir soul, we are " 'possum rights" folks over here in Rnssell, a world without end. Free 'possums at the rate of sixteen in ths future to one of the awful past, is our platform and sentiments. Most people would rather not handle snakes, but those who do find a certain fascination in the pastime. Sometimes it also serves a useful purpose, a<s in-the case of a Kansas City man, who habitu ally carries two or three snakes with him in various pockets-of his dress. One day he went to a county flair and a pick pocket tried to rob him. The-rogue hap pened to get his hand into a pocket where reposed a bull snake, and the way he screamed brought all the police on the ground to the scene, and the pick pocket was igTiomindously captured. A Kansas City man took refuge in a blacksmith's shop during a violent windstorm. The shop blew down and injured him and. he sued the owner for damages. The defendant's attorney argued that the Lord was responsible for the hurricane and his client ought not to be blamed. The court decided that the Almighty had nothing to do with the insecurity of the building and was not a party to the suit, and that the owner must pay $1,200 damages for injuries inflicted. It is reported thut a young lady of Shoholah, Pa., walked through the woods one day recently wearing a hat ornamented with feathers from a pheasant's tail. Some hunters saw the feathers aud fired at thein. They were poor shots, luckily for Miss Lavigne. Most of the pellets were stopped by her corsets, but. she was severely wounded nevertheless. This should serve as a warning to young ladies who are fond of bird plumage in their hats. The other day, says the Indianapolis Sentinel, a South side teacher was dis coursing to her pupils about the evils of becoming addicted to slang, when she paused and asked them to give her an example of a slang phrase. The school went into convulsions when a youngster in knee pants yelled prompt * You re not so hot. There are other babies on the pile." The teacher did not call for any more examples. Davis Cullen, of Sticklersville, Del., I who for nearly ten years has been treat j ed for consumption by the doctors, in a coughing fit the other day brought up a tooth which he swallowed almost ten years ago. It had stuck in liis wind pipe then. The physicians now say that it got down into Ms lungs and that it i is the tooth which has caused what they • treated as consumption. A town council in Ohio has passed an ordinance providing that no girl shall linger near the railway station i less ah ►has in her possession a railway ticket, the object being to prevent flirta tions with commercial travelers. The railway expenses of drummers in Ohio are bound to be higher from this time forward. A man with the habit of talking to himself got very angry at himself in Portland, Me., and while walking on the street began calling himself nil sorts of names half audibly. He let out one of them just as n stranger came up, and the stranger, not knowing his fail ing, let drive and blackened his eye for hiui. Subscribe for the Tin it CM-:. ; NEWS OF THE WEEK.

A soft tire is almost as treacherous as quickflund. It goes back on oue when everything-seems all right. Coasting a rough hill, turniug sharply a corner or out of a car track will wrench it off frequently and sometimes punctures it. County road commissioners in Penn sylvania are allowed to devote one tenth of theioad taxes for the construe tion of paths for tJie exclusive use of wheelmen. They are not compelled by the luw to make these paths, but the wheelmen see to that. In London, when a scorcher Ls arrest ed. if he is riding- a very high-geared machine,thatcountsaaevidence against him. The authorities over tiher* are wise enough to know that no rider care* for an 80 or 90 gear, unless he want* to scorch. Arthur Zimmerman, who was cham pion for 1592, 1893 aud 1894, will reenter , the lists next year. He has signed a contract with the management of the Princess Park track in Paris to ride iu competition races and record trials from Mardh 1 to September 30,1898. The "bicycle lift" is the latest imag inary disease attributed to cycling. It is alleged to he due to involuntary con traction of the leg muscles, resembling the equine "string halt." No doctor ever reported a case of the kind, but the story goes well with the yarns about the bicycle face, eye, hand, foot and back. It is the general opinion that city au thorities will soon enforce the use of brakes on all wheels, and therefore in ventors arc at work again. At least three varieties of brakes hare been put out which operate by a lever roller com ing in contact with the chain when the rider back pedals, the lever driving a spoon against the tire. Another style operates by pressing a button on the grip, thus raising a lever attached to a friction band on the crank axle. IN THE OLD WORLD.

Sword ferns need a soil of leaf mold, with a little salt mixed in. Keep them ' in shade, water well and provide good 1 drainage. 1 A wetem exposure for plant* is not desirable one; u soot hern one is'best. An eastern one is quite as good for many kinds of plants, but have your plant windows face south when pos- I sible. After flowering and us oon as the foliage ripens let the roil in which your freealas have grown become dry ! and remain so. I)o not disturb the j roots in mny way until it is time to start | the plants into growth again. Keep the pots in a dry. frostproof room. Do not allow yourself to be imposed upon by ignorant persons who tell you that to turn a plant in the window will prevent its flowering. It Is absolutely necessary that plants should be turned fromfiime to tilme in order to make them I shapely, and turning them in no way in ! terfeires with their flowering. The violet is not an easy plant for the amateur florist to atiteuipt to grow ler profit. As conditions differ so under which it must be grown I would advise nil who care to atiteuipt its culture to j visit their local florist and learn from hiiujDibout the soil, method of planting. I protection, and so forth, needed in that particularlocnlity.—Ladies' Home Jour ' nnl. SOME SHORT PERSONALITIES.
