Tho county commissioners have decid ed that all tax collectors in the count) who have failed or neglected to settle up their tax duplicate for 1897 in full will not be given the privilege of collecting taxes in their respective districts on tiie tax duplicate of 1898. This action on tho part of the commissioners is intended to afford protection to the tax payers of the county and also to bondsmen who are responsible for the settlement of uncollected taxes. -It is certainly fair to the bondsmen, because lu any case where the full amount of last year's taxes on the duplicate of any collector remains unpaid if ho should be allowed to collect on tho duplicate for 1898 new bondsmen would ho necessary. Thus all tax collectors who have not already made their returns in full for last year's taxes had better lose no time about doing so, as the commissioners will take no chances by letting delin quents have the tax duplicate for 1898. Another matter that may he important information to local school boards and tax collectors has been decided by the commissioners. Under a special act of tho legislature passed in 1891 school boards in boroughs and townships were permitted to levy and collect dog tax. This was a special act applicable to Luzerne and several other large counties, in 1893 a general law was passed making it the duty of county commissioners to levy all dog taxes, but this act could not he complied with until the legislature of 1897 passod a law repealing tho special act of 1891 referred to. Therefore, the commissioners will now govern them selves in accordance with the act of 1893 and have levied a uniform rate of taxes on dugs which must bo returned direct to the county treasury —instead of being levied and collected as heretofore I y local school boards in tho various town ships and boroughs throughout the county. A Denver man lins discovered u plan to get u hog I>ack into a pen via the aperture through which it passed out. His recipe in substance is: Get the hog's nose at the hole in the pen, then pass around behind the hog- carefully, get bold of its tail and pull back as hard ; mi you can. The nniuial will think you I •wuut to prevent it from going in uud makes a leap to its old place. After having had arrested for a mur der 17 "suspicious" men ut Kan Luis l'otosi, N. M., the judge sold: "Now unless the guilty man confesses I will I shoot you all." At this one of the un huppy group confessed that, another of them did it; he admitted the fact and was promptly executed. How sum mary I It is told in Kansas City that a woman of un excursion party which was booked for ly.j hours' stop there delayed the departure of the excursion train an hour and ten minutes and caused the disarrangement of tho schedule of tho Santa Fe railroad from Kansas City to Albuquerque, nil because she stopped ut u dry goods bargain counter. Food experts in the depart ment of ag riculture at Washington assert that, pound for pound, peanuts have a food value greater than beefsteak, and that ten cents' worth of peanuts furnishes more actual nutriment than ten cents' worth of almost anything else. This may be true, but it* is not everybody who can get away with ten cents' worth of peanuts at a time. In fact, that many peanuts will 'ast some persons a lifetime. At I3urllngaine, Kun., a woman who fears to have a gun about the house, finding her son's in #.o sitting-room, seized it to carry it, ut arm's length, to the piazza. Just as she opened the door a tramp appeared there. lie turned and lied, calling to her not to shoot. A New York lady recently adver tised for her lost poodle dog—mention ing for a distinguishing mark that he had gold tilling in one of his teeth. There are many poor children in that city who haven't even bread enough to fill their teeth. A New York restaurant waitress, af ter meeting the eccentric son of a mil lionaire, had to wait only ten days be fore marrying him. This circurnstauce lias largely increased the assiduity of the girls who serve public tables. Morality is proclaimed to be on the increase in Anderson county, Tenn., a citizen having paid his taxes without being sued for the first time in bis life. THE SHORT LIFE OF A GUN. Number of Times It May tie Tired and (be Enormous Cost of It. "Tho life of a gun Is ono of the most unsatisfactory things about It," remarked an ordnaneo officer In dis cussing the war question with a Wash ington Star reporter, "and though a number of experiments have been made in connection therewith, there is no absolute certainty as to results. A general rule has been arrived at which is thought to be on tho safe side of the matter, and that is tbat the modern steel gun should not be fired more than 100 times. After that, it matters not what the emergency i may be, it Is safer to dismantle the gun and send it back to the shop than to risk firing it, for tho explosion of a gun is a decidedly and extensively dangerous occurrence to all in its im mediate locality. The firing of a gun causes the steel to crystalize and thereby become us brittle as a file. So far as has yet been discovered, there is no remedy for it. It is not exactly a total loss after tho gun has become dead, for the steel can bo used for thousands of things in the way of bolts, braces and the like for new work and for repairs. As is generally known, a modern gun is ao expensive affair, running from $75,000 way up. It Is equally expensive to keep it In operation, tho cost for each cartridge sent from It being over SI,OOO, which does not include the putting of the gun on its emplacement or taking It down, nor the thousands of dollars necessarily expended in paying salar ies and subsistence of the officers and men who operate it. This crystaliza tion of the metal is one of the mys teries of the science of ordnance. The gun could be revivified to some extent by heating it to n white heat ami allowing it to cool off slowly, but tho treatment Is not exactly satisfac tory or even approximately certain as to results. It has been said of us, as ot' other nations, that if we kept every gnu we own in actual firing operation for even twenty-four hours the pow- | dor and shell bill would bankrupt us, I uud there is some truth lu it. This : crystalizntion of the metal is not con- I fined to guns, however. The same thing occurs in the Journals or axles used on the railroad ears. It is foi that reason that careful railroads put , on new axles every five or six years. In Europe there are laws upou tho subject, thought It is custom with us. I In Germany it Is unlawful to use an | axle ou passenger cars more than I four years, though the limitation on I freight cars is not so rigid. As with 1 the oft-fired gun, the steel in the Journal b -omes so brittle by the cry* ! tnlization in consequence of its use that it is liable to snap iuto a dozen i pieces any time ufter its life is ended." Oldest Observatory. The oldest observatory in the world is in China. Centuries and centuries j before Europeans constructed astro nomical instruments of metal this ob servatory had metal instruments of the highest value, and they were known to be hundreds of years old in 1279. The instruments in the Chinese observatory are marvelous works of art and their beauty and boldness of design could not be duplicated today. The observatory itself stands higher than the city wall, and Is square In i shape, the beautiful astronomical In struments standing on platforms with no shelter, true to the Chinese idea of doing things by contraries. Entrance to the observatory from the front gate leads to a hall of rare proportions. Then comes a yard surrounded on three sides by one-storied buildings and shaded by enormous trees. Here : are two massive and valuable bronze instruments, exposed for centuries, but without a flaw or sign of wear. In the Chinese observatory Is a huge celestial globe, seven feet six inches in diameter, having the planets and principal constellations shown by rais ed stars in yellow bronze and fixed In their proper places on the chocolate brown body of the globe. There are 1 eight instruments in all in the obser- j vatory, each worthy of special study. GEORGE fc. WHITE, From North Carolina, the Only Colored Member of the LVth Congress. ID (Tec t of MUMIC on llnlr. An English statistician has recently been engaged in an original task, that of studying the influence of music on the hair. The investigator establishes, in the first place, that the proportion of bald persons is 11 per cent, for the liberal professions in general, with the exception of physicians, who appear to hold tho record for baldness, which is 30 per cent. Musical composers do not form an exception to the rule and baldness is as frequent among them as in tho other professions. The cor net-a-plston and the French horn act with surprising surety and rapidity; but the trombone is the depilatory instru ment par excellence. It will clear the hair from one's head In five years. This 19 what the author calls "baldness of tho fanfares," which rages with special violence among logimental bands. STUDYING- ABROAD. THE GREAT DIFFICULTIES AMERICAN ARTISTS MUST OVERCOME. Mlm At till lo Claire hay* That If American Girls Would Devote Themselves to Home Teachers the ltesult Would he Far More to Their I'ersonitl Good and Happiness. Miss Attalie Claire has, since her last appearance with Lillian Russell, devoted four years to study In Italy and Paris. She has much to say of continental methods, and particularly of musical study In the French capital. Mlsb Claire does not hesitate to express her self with a frankness which Is con vincing as it Is refreshing. She Is particularly opposed to tho studying of American girls abroad. She does not consider that they meet with any thing like proper consideration or en couragement. "It would seem," sgld Miss Claire, "as though professors and students were alike leagued against her. When an American girl unwisely chooses to exhibit her voice before the glaring lights of foreign public opinion It is not criticised on Its own merits, but upon the personal attractiveness and other charms of Its owner. The voice is forced to undergo an Inevitable com parison with those of singers of the past and present. It Is stoned, hack ed and besmudged, and finally rele gated to blttor obscurity, unless, per chance, she has powerful friends with an unllmttod amount of both wealth and Influence. The teachers make study a torture instead of a pleasure. They have a cast-iron set of rules, from which they allow no devlution. I "You must not go out at night. You must not dance. It dries your voice and weakens your vocal cords. You must not speak in the open air after j singing. It gives you sore throat. You must not eat certain fruits ot vegetables. It makes you hoarse. You tuust walk long and frequently to keep up your strength. You must re nounce all your friends In order to have time to work. "Finally," continued Miss Claire, "you must hope against hope, because you must work against people who are ahead of you through their especial talent for the basest of Intrigues—with j utter lack of refinement, with nothing holy or reverent In their purposes, with but one single idea in their souls —to be seen. Art to them Is nothing; publicity everything. The one is sim ply a moans to the end. American girl students In last year's coats and j hats, their countenances pale and pinched with want, their eyes and Hps sharpened with expectancy, throng j the studios and haunt the offices of tho ' impresarios. American pluck Is pro verbial In Paris musical circles. | "It Is needless for me to remind you of the experiences of either Sibyl San derson or Marie Van Zandt. Their bitter trials turned the light of public ity upon the detestable power of the French claque and hatred of forelgn ! ers. But where these shining exam ples have finally conquered all opposi tion there are 9,099 American girls who every year are forced to retire ! beaten, discouraged aud world-weary. Right here In Boston this was brought home to you the other day, where a young lady of family well-known and honored, had fruitlessly thrown away 12 years of her life In pursuing the musical will-of-the-wisp of Parisian musical study. Small wonder that she attempted suicide crossing the At lantic. "If American girls would but devote to home teachers and home study a tltlie of the energy and ambition with i which they pursue their musical life abroad, the result would be not only far more to their own personal good and happiness, but It would build up In this country a class of students and singers better voiced, and of purer lives than what are found abroad." Proper Way to Murli Linen. Tho " monogram hieroglyphics" which puzzled housekeepers arc no louger fashionable In linen marking, the simple Roman letters, embroidered plainly, having taken their place. Plain script Is also In good taste, and the work Is done In a simple satin stitch on both table cloths and napkins. Bed clothes should have the name simply ! and clearly written in Indelible Ink, though towels arc sometimes embroid ered with the owner's luitluls. It has been universally decided by women of good taste that the proper plaeo to mark table linen la to em broider It with the Initials of the house Just below the hem and In the centre ! of the "breadth," the size of the initial j to be one inch for tablecloths and half an Inch for napkins, j Carving cloths and corn and hot po tato napkins have the initials of the ! hostess sometimes wrought out below ; the hem or fringe, but it Is considered | better form to have them In dainty j puttcrns that will be characteristic enough without the marking. ! It Is certainly In had taste to make a display of one's Initials or monogram; even silver should he unobtrusive In Its lettering, i The best marking for the linen closet [ Is to keep it in good order. A Delicious Ik'vernKo. | Raspberry-vinegar Is a delicious ! beverage mixed with iced water. Put a quart of rlpo red raspberries In a bowl; pour on them a quart of good, i strong vinegar—let them stand twen j ty-four hours, strain them through a I hag, put this liquid on another quart of fresh raspberries, which strain In I the same manner —and then on a third quart. When this last is prepared, inake it very sweet with pounied loaf I sugar, then bottle. A TORNADO IN SYRACUSE. Nearly All of tlio statn Fair Buildings Are Wrecked. Syracuse, Sept. I.—Tl.e proprietors of an amusement resort on the shores of Onondago l.ake saw what they de scribe as "u wall of water twenty feet high" advancing rapidly up the lake shortly after noon to-day. A few min utes afterward they were rushing into their cellars for safety, while popcorn booths, benches, with everything not nailed down and many things that were, went sailing through the air. In a few minutes the storm struck, and In less than half an hour it did awful execution. Its velocity was ter rific. It ripped up trees and unroofed buildings as if they were straws and paper. The roof of the Alhambra rink, where the -Democratic State Conven tion is to be held, was rolled up like a scroll and whipped off into the street. Nearly all the buildings at the New York State Fair ground were wrecked, partially or completely, and exhibits which were being put in place for the fair next week were scattered to the winds. Almost by a miracle, the art gallery, which was unroofed, did not collapse, and many thousand dollars' worth of valuable paintings by leading New York artists were saved. lMno Creek Ulcffiiiff!*. Vancouver, Sept 1 —Cnpt. franc, the la6t man to arrive from Pine Creek, the latest gold strike, says: "Although they are the richest dig gings outside the Klondike in Ameri ca, the reports are exaggerated. The whole creek is now staked, and Sur prise Lake, apparently as rich, which is above Pine Creek, is being rapidly taken up. One man named Duval is cleaning up $8 to the pan. Although Pine Creek gold is very line and starts at the grass, it will not run over from 10 to 50 cents to the pan. At this ruto a man and his pkirtner can make $25 a day." * vr.' 8 e f n- Oft h PrlTMt*. Washington, Sept. 1. —The findings of the general court martial in the ease of Floyd W.

ARE THE WOMEN OF TO-DAY TAKING TOO MUCH INTEREST IN THEM f Mrs. Amolia Gere Mason Thinks American Women, With Their Splendid Initiative and Boundless Aspirations, Are Assam* inff Too Much Responsibility. In the Century there is an article on "Club and Salon," by Mrs. Amelia Gore Mason, author of "Women of the French Salon." Mrs. Mason says: Of women's clubs there is literally no end, and they are yet In their vig orous youth. We have literary clubs, and art clubs, and musical clubs; clubs for science, and clubs for philan thropy; parliamentary clubs, and suf frage clubs, and anti-suffrage clubs— clubs of every variety and every grade, from the luncheon club, with its dilet tante menu, and the more pretentious chartered club, that aims at mastering a scheme of the world, to the simple worldng-girls' club, which is content with something loss; and all In the sacred name of culture. They multi ply, federate, hold conventions, organ ize congresses, and really form a vast educational system that is fast chang ing old ideals and opening possibili ties of which no prophetic eye can soe the end. That they have marvelously raised the average standard of intelli gence cannot be questioned, nor that they have brought out a large number of able and interesting women who have generously taken upon them selves not only their own share of the work of the world, but a great deal mo re. I Ono oan hardly overrate the value of an Institution which has given light I and an upward Impulse to so many j lives, and changed the complexion of \ society so distinctly for the better. ! Hut it may be worth while to ask if the women of to-day, with their splen did initiative and boundless asplra | tions, are not going a little too fast, | getting entangled in too much machin | ery, losing their individuality in masses, assuming more responsibility | than they can well carry. Why is it ; that lines too deop for harmonious thought are so early writing thern : selves on the strong, tense, mobile, und delicate faces of American women? Why is it that the pure Joy of life seems to be lost in the restless and insatiable passion for multitudes, so often thinly disguised as love for knowledge, which Is not seldom little more than the shell and husk of i things? Is the pursuit of culture degenerating Into a pursuit of clubs, and are we ] taking for ourselves new taskmasters more pitiless than the old? "The j emancipation of woman is fast becom j Ing her slavery," said one who was caught in the whirl of the social ma ! chlnory and could find no point of re- I pose. We pride ourselves on our lib ! erty; but the true value of liberty is to leave people free from a pressure that prevents their fullest growth. [ What do we gain if we simply ex -1 change one tyranny for another? ! Apart from the fact that the finest flowers of culture do not spring from a soil that is constantly turned, any more than they do from a soil that is not turned at all, it is a question of human limitations, of living so as to I continue to live, of growing so as to I continue to grow. Nor is it simply a matter of individuals. Societies, too, exhaust themselves; and those which 1 reach an exaggerated growth in a day j are apt to perish in a day. It is not | the first time in the history of the I world that there has been a brilliant reign of intelligence among women, though perhaps there was never one so I widely spread as now. Why have they ended in more or less violent reac tions? We may not be able to answer the question satisfactorily, but It gives us food for reflection. Iter Secret sfunul. Nervous housewives whose husbands frequently bring home company to din ner without preliminary warning often worry In their secret hearts for fear there may not be food enough to sup ply the unexpected guests. A matron living In one of the prottiest suburban residences in West Philadelphia, whose husband persists In bringing home guests at the most inopportune times, has hit upon a happy expedient to meet possible emergencies. In passing any dishes at the table of which there may be a limited supply tho hostess makes a point to mention the enigmatical letters "F. H. 13." in such a manner as not to attract the attention of the guests around the board. Immediately the members of the family are aware of the circumstances and discreetly partake very lightly, if at all, of the viands in question. The secret of the three letters was solved by a quick-witted guest a few days ago, and the hostess afterward laughingly confessed her little scheme. "F. H. 13." In this Instance stands for "family hold back." ■lubber Plant*. Every week sponge your rubber plant with tobacco Juice. Take a plug of tobacco, pour water over It, and when the water becomes deeply color ed wipe the leaves off with a sponge dipped In the Juice. This will give them a wax-like appearance and Is good for the plant. Every two or three weeks dig about the roots of the plant and pour in a teaspoonful of castor oil. Dining Hunm Teiniierntnre, Never let the temperature of the din ing room rise above sixty-five degrees; sixty degrees is not too low. If the lights und the number of people In the room raise it after the meal has be gun, lower the windows slightly from Ihe top. Why not be well?
