FUEELANI), PA., JULY 18, 1808. j Volunteer lire companies cannot be i expected to go about their work with the same skill and proficiency that is j shown by a force of trained and expor fenced men. Some confusion and delays i are bound to result while a fire is raging, j Notwithstanding these drawbacks, which j exist here us they do elsewhere, Free- I land can well fool proud of the men who voluntarily undertake to give battle to the fire fiend when life and property are in danger. Their work at times borders on the marvelous, and the daring spirit with which they perform their task is an exemplification of heroism which i> none the less noble because of its limit ed sphere of action. Comfort and per sonal concern have been cast aside so often by the Frooland boys, and with success invariably following as a natural result, that the reliance and sense of security felt against a blaze assuming alarming proportions have become firm ly fixed in the public's mind. Other towns may surpass this in possessing more modern or more gaudy fire ap paratus, but none arc ahead of Freeland in the willingness and earnestness to minimize damage shown by our fin fighters. Those who have benefited b\ their work can best appreciate the truth of this. "It costs a well-known baking powder company something like half a million dollars annually for advertising," says a well-posted exchange. "Some one once suggested to the company that it discontinue advertising for one year, the baking powder was so well-known and advertised, and place that amount. 8500,000, In the profits. The answer was that it would undoubtedly cost the company three times that amount to get their products in its original chan nels again. This is a pretty good pointer to those business men who imagine they are making a great saving when they discontinue a one or two dollar-a-month advertisement a few months in dull season. It never pays to tear out a dam because the water is low." It is keeping everlastingly at it that brings success. The newspapers of Luzerne county, with few exceptions, appear to have taken a sensible view of the professional politicians and their business this year. I There is a wholesome absence of the lengthy free putT. which aspirants for otTice Imagine they are entitled to in the columns of every newspaper which supports tho national politics of these berth-seekers. The press of both parties In Luzerne county has been worked very cheaply during past years, before and after the nominations wore made, and it is a healthy sign to see the newspapers giving the office-hunter no more gratuituous advertising than they give persons engaged in any other kind of business. "Jerry N. Weiler, nominated by the Pennsylvania Democrats for congress man at-large, is no relative to the well known Weyler who controlled affairs in Cuba for a time," says the Lehighton Advocate, "but while he does not enjov the fame of the Cuban butcher, he numbers among his friends throughout the state some of tl;n most prominent and influential men. Mr. Weiler, whose home. Is in East Mauch Chunk, is a tele graph operator, was elected to the last legislature and made au excellent record which won for him the honor thrust upon him by the state organization." It is urged against the candidacy of George A. Jenks for the governorship that none of the. bosses of either party are taking any interest in promoting his election. There may he some truth in tills allegation. One thing is certain— none of the bosses would profit by Ills election. He stands aloof from the ma chines. He does not believe in bosses; and if the bosses reciprocate his dislike the voters of Pennsylvania ought to act upon the hint. The candidate the ma chines have no use for is tho candidate; whom honest men should support. —Vhila. Ho ard.

His full name was Seldom Fed. Its Slgnifl- ! cation is sufficiently apparent without further explanation. Seldom was, for j a cat, a most intelligent one. He be longed to the petty officers' mess, hav- I lug been brought off by a member of j that mess one night Inside the shirt of | the tipsy boatswain's mate. Seldom was ! nearly dead then, a weak, starved kit ten, but he soon got well and grew big and wise on hard tack, salt horse and plum duff. He knew his master, usually slept on the foot clews of his hammock, and always stood watch with him, sometimes walking up and down the deck beside him, at other times coiled on the tackles of the gun by which the boatswain's mate paced up an down continually. Seldom rare ly went on shore, but when he did go there was a high old time; his was al ways rough liberty. I remember once his going on shore in San Francisco, after having been on board ship for four months. It was his first visit to the city—and his last. Yes, he came back after a three days' run. One eye was closed and bleeding, one foot he could not put to the ground, something had bitten his tail; all over he was scars and bruises. Seldom was decidedly the worse for wear. lie got on board ship, noticing no one and no one noticing him to speak to him; though every one looked at him. He was helped by his owner, the boatswain's mate, up to the top of the engine hatch, I being too much bunged to jump up, and there he lay, like any old drunken j sailor, for nearly twenty-four hours. I Then Seldom joined his mess, ate his meals, und In due course of time got j well. What became of him? He was drowned. Seldom had away of going out on the muzzle of a great gun and sitting near the extreme end to enjoy the cool breezes of the tropics and watch the side of the ship as she bowled along the sunlit seas. One day the ship gave a lurch, and that was the end of Seldom. A Firecracker t'uchlcr. Although it may seem unreasonable >r impossible a boy can have some of the fun of firecrackers, rockets and roman candles without spending a :elit for the fireworks.

The picture shows a simple little de vice culled the "firecracker eaekler," which will be found to work very well juiced. The wheel Is simply a piece >f hoard cut Into circular form and then notched.

The richest and most powerful man socially and politically in the Republic of Guatemala Is John Knight, a negro, who was born a slave in Alabama and who was sold from the public slave block as late as March, 1860. Knight was an exceptionally bright boy. He never saw his father, who was sold Into a distant State before he was born. The family to whom Knight belonged gave him an education, and at the age of sixteen the boy was sold for |1,600, a high price, considering that the sale occurred In November, 1860, the very time of Lincoln's elec tion. Knight remained with the family of his new master until the close of the war. In common with thousands of other slaves, he then declared his free dom. He walked to New Orleans, and for the first time in his life went away from his master's properties. In New Orleans he worked as a wharf laborer for a firm which handled fruits from Central America. He saved his money. Every one about the wharves knew John Knight, the most capable and In dustrious colored man there. One day in June, 1866, he was Bent by his em ployer down to Yucatan, in Central America, to live there as the boss of the packing and shipping of fruits to New Orleans. He had S2O a week salary. That was practically the beginning of John Knight's millions. He lived in Yucatan a year, worked hard, saved his every cent, and dreamed of the day when he could be an orange, banana and pineapple shipper on his own ac count. Having heard of the great tracts of free and fertile fruit lands south of San Christoval in Guatemala, he went and located there. A live, wide-awake person was something unique In those days In that region of siestas and tropical sunsliino. A revo lution, in which Ramon Sanchez had been deposed, was Just at Its close. John Knight saw what hard work and an opportunity to gain the favor of the new administration would do for himself. He proposed that for a concession of some 50,000 acres of land suitable for pineapple and banana growing he would go to New Orleans and get the wholesale fruit dealers, who ruled flic American market thirty years ago, to agree to buy $2,000,000 a year of Guatemala fruits. The Guate mala Government gladly accepted the proposition. In less than three months the deal was consummated at New Or j leans. It was the beginning of the | trade of millions of dollars annually, j To make a long story short, John Knight got other concessions, as he demonstrated the profit there was in | growing fruits for the United States j markets. The shipping business to ; New York and San Francisco was | started and enormously enlarged. He married a native young woman j in Stapa in 1872, and the union has i been a great help to his fortunes, j About twenty years ago he Induced | New England capital to embark ex ! tenslvely In coffee growing In Guate | mala, and he invested over $150,000 of [ his own capital in the Industry. The Government gave him a very advan tageous shipping concession for his ef ! forts In bringing capital to the coun i try. Coffee growing proved wonder fully remunsratlve for a dozen years. At one time the annual shipments of coffee from the Knight linens were the largest from any private estate in all I Central America. ! The negro planter branched out In other directions. He went to Phila delphia and contracted to furnish many thousands of feet of mahogany yearly for ten years. Then he bought up tracts of mahogany trees in Nicaragua and Guatemala. At one time he was the second largest dealer In mahogany logs In the world. Everything he touched he made a success. He lives in royal style in the suburbs of Guatemala City. No one in that region except the Barrios ever enter tain so lavishly as Don Knight and Ills wife. Their home is a large modern house of plate glass windows, polished woods, costly hangings—all furnished from New York and New Orleans. A small army of servants attends the ! wants of the family. IClihcNlnn Theatre I iiearlhetl. At Ephesus, near Smyrna, a large theatre of the Roman period has been unearthed by German excavators. It is well preserved, three rows of seats, the orchestra and the stage being In i tact. Under the orchestra some brass musical Instruments and some actors' costumes were found. In addition the aqueduct of the town, by which means water was conveyed to a height of nearly 300 feet; has been found, as well ' as a great statue of Nemesis. An Anlec Bight Feet Tnll. | Professor Moorhead, the archaeolo ] gist, who hah been exploring an Aztec ruin three miles west of Phoenix, A. T., > has discovered portions of the skeleton of a human being whose stature he computes to have been about eight feet. \ He has also some well-preserved pot ! tery and other utensils used by the early dwellers in the valley and which Ihe found in the ruins. The professor j is working in the interest of an East ern museum. An exchange declares that a certain | Boston lady is so careful to be proper ! In her correspondence that every sen j tence ends with a glacial period. Too chilly! would be the proper exclama tion; with the interrogation: Is she an ice girl?

When buying prunes, the California prunes will be found more satisfactory and far cleaner than the foreign fruit. Do not soak them over night, as that allows the prunes to break, while the syrup Is not so clear. They should, however. Be carefully washed, one by one, In tepid water, allowing them to stand in the water two or three min utes to "plump." Follow this by a second washing; then put In the sauce pan, allowing a cup and a half of water to every cup of prunes. Simmer slowly on the back of the range or in the oven for two hours and a half, nev er allowing them to boll. If desired, sugar may be added, but the long, Blow cooking brings out the natural sweetness of the fruit and is approved now by first-class cooks. Prunes treated In this way emerge lustrous, tender, sweet and with the real prune fl. vor, totally at variance with the jtiitly derided prune of the average boarding house. DeeorntliiK n I'liiuo linen. The back of an upright piano nowa days is always turned toward the room on account of the superior acoustic ad vantages of the position. The arrange ment of its flat surface therefore be comes a serious subject for decorative consideration. It goes without saying that it must be draped, but this re quires a skilful touch to do it grace fully, especially as a table placed agulnst the board is upt to Interfere with the tone. A l-RKTTT PIANO HACK EFFECT. A pretty arrangement Is shown in the accompanying sketch. The drapery of embroidered Chinese silk Is held at the two corners with fans, those on the left being of peacock feathers, and on the right of small Oriental braided and embroidered straws. A couple of portfolios, with the boards covered with brocade embossed with gold and silver, are arranged to hold music, and are affixed to the left side of the piano above the other with ribbons to hold the outside lid slightly open. An Invnllil'n Dish. Prepare a young pigeon and lay It In a stew-pan containing equal parts of milk and white stock seasoned and boiling slowly. No fat must be on it. Simmer the pigeon In this for half an hour, then take it out, thicken the sauce, boll It up and serve round the bird. A few peppercorns and a small onion are a great Improvement to thlk dish. ikoitrl nixh Towel*. A servant is much more likely to be fastidious In her dish washing and care ful with dish towels If she Is provided with proper ones In the beginning. The Ideal cloth for washing dishes Is mnde by taking a square of cheese cloth, doubling it twice (making It four thick nesses) and quilting it In large meshes on the sewing machine. This makes a towel soft, thick, agreeable to handle and easily kept white. A Kitchen Aid. A double chopping knife should find Its way Into every wellf-equipped kitch en. Upon the theory that time Is mon ey, how much of it Is wasted In chop ping apples for the mincemeat, suet for the pudding, or ham for sandwiches, with a slngle-bladcd, old-fashioned chopper that will only do half the work of a double one in the same time! Luncheon Mode BAH F ■ An appetizing dish for luncheon or supper, that requires neither great out lay of time, strength or money, is sal mon loaf. To one can of salmon al low four crackers rolled fine, two well beaten eggs, one-half cupful sweet milk, butter the size of un egg, salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly, put In greased cans and steam one hour. The Pincushion Popular Again. The pincushion, for awhile superan uated and retired from active service, is again out in force, and much larger than life. Many of the new cushions are almost the size of the top of the dressing table, and as ornate as fancy can Revise and fingers execute. When Maklnu Curry, Meats left from beef tea should be saved for use when making curry.

Saved from the Surgeon's Knife No organs are of greater importance to the human body than the Kidneys. Their duty is to sift and strain the poisonous and waste matter from the blood, and if they fail to do this, the trouble shows in the nervous system, and even ill the brain. Your life is at stake when there are pains in the small of your back when you are compelled to get up at night to urinate—when the passing of water causes scalding pain—when there is a sediment in the urine in the vessel, or when it appears white or milky. When so afflicted, you can conquer the trouble with Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, the greatest medicine that civilization has ever known for curing Kidney, > 1 Bladder, Blood and Liver Diseases. & 4 James Lettice, of Canajoharie, N.
