Slovak and Hungarian. From the Slovensky Dennik, Pittsburg. A considerable number of the hard working people of our anthracite re gion are Slovaks by birth or descent. In the daily press, however, they are frequently spoken ©f as lluns or Hun garians, though neither of the two names is correct and both do them in justice. The name ' Hungarian" is a purely geographical term, absolutely meaning less in ethnography. The kingdom of Hungary is inhabited by Magyars, Slo vaks, Russians, Roumanians, Germans and Servians—there is no such thing as an "Hungarian" nation. Tho Slovak inay be called a Hungarian—in a politi cal sense only—as long as he remains a subject of Hungary, but when he comes to the United States and becomes an American citizen It is absurd to call him a Hungarian. President Roosevelt might, with equal propriety, bo called a Spaniard because the laud of his ancestors at one time was ruled by the king of Spain. The other appellation, that of "Huns," is still more mlschovious, for the Huns of history wore enemies and oppressors of the Slovaks. At present there are no lluns known to ethnogra. phy, unless the Magyar of Hungary be identical with the ancient Huns, whom they strikingly resemble in appearance. Both tho lluns and the Magyars are closely related to the Tartars and the Turks, whereas tho Slovaks, being mem bers of tho Slavic family, are Aryans. Considered from tho standpoint of ethnology, the difference between a Slovak and a Hun (or Magyar, for that matter) is about as great as that be tween an Englishman and a Turk. The Slovak is neither Ilun nor Hun garian and altogether unwilling to saij under false colors. In this country he seeks to acquire American citizenship, and I may add that the largest Slovak organization in this country makes American citizenship a condition pre cedent to admission. Btate Normal School. Tho East Stroudsburg state normal school is one of our most persistent and progressive advertisers; we call atten tion to their ad. in another column. The school now has a larger enrollment than it ever had before at tho same time, except one year. Tho new teach ers. of whom so much was expected, are more than fulfilling expectations and the faculty is more thoroughly organiz ed and is stronger than ever before in the history of the school.

Bear, the /) The Kind Vou Hate Always Bought CASTOWT A - Bears the s? Kind You Have Always Bought OASTOIIIA. Bears the /f Till Kind You Have Always Bought JUDGE PENNYPACKER'S FATAL FOLLY. Many times within recent years the political machine which is responsible for misgovernment in Pennsylvania has confessed the truth of the indict ment against it and promised reforma tion. To this hour its pledges have been systematically violated, and the head of this organization, a little while ago, publicly stated that if it did not keep faith with the people in connec tion with ballot reform, It would sink into merited infamy. It has been re served for tne present candidate of this organization for the highest office In the gift of the people, to openly and falsely characterize a temperate state ment of plain facts concerning misgov ernment and self-confessed political degradation —these things being known of all men and deeply deplored by all good citizens —as an indefensible "wail, diatribe, denunciation of the state and Its people." This amazing confession of weaknes in answering Governor Pattison's speech of accept ance should prove fatal to Judge Pen nypacker's misplaced ambition. Has it come to this, that free speech is a crime? That the truth must no longer be told? That public protest must be stifled? That public wrong doing must be passed by without no tice? That faithless public servants and corrupt political leaders must not even be criticised, much less chastized, with the freeman's weapon, an honest bal lot? The declaration of the Erie con vention, which is a truthful summing up, in part, of glaring evils of the time in Pennsylvania, is flippantly referred to and its grave charges dismissed, as "a platform of mendacities." Is this the way in which the burning issues before the long-suffering citizens of this commonwealth are to be met? The last session of the Pennsylvania legislature was without a parallel in defiant wrong-uoing, the evidence of which was so conspicuous that there could be no denial that did not reflect upon the intelligence and sincerity of any apologist therefor. The second officer in the government of the state, thoroughly ashamed of the degrada tion he had witnessed from the presid ing chair in the senate, publicly and indignantly declared that never in all his legislative career of many years was bribery and corruption so open and shameless. The most direct charges of venality were made in the public prints against men openly named, without even reply, much less denial. Defense or escape from public scorn and con demnation was impossible. The widespread indignation of the people has been expressed in many ways, through leading newspapers, speaking shamefacedly for the party in power; through public assemblages; through a convention of self-respect ing, intelligent and fair-minded citi zens, representing more than 100,000 conscientious members of the Republi can party, and in a union of forces, upon a non-partisan basis, with the avowed and determined object of re deeming the state government from flagrant and demoralizing misrule. There has been an uprising of honest, courageous and patriotic men which cannot and will not be silenced and put down, at the bidding of any man. It will not accept apologies or disclaimers or pleas for forgetfulness. It will not give ear to the unwise and unpa triotic cry of party regularity, the pur pose of which is to over up heinous offenses; to blot out the memory thereof, and to prevent any guarantee for the future, any assurance of bet ter things. Judge Pennypacker answers, with strange unwisdom and lack of true civic Ideas, a flood tide of public criti cism of his apologetic defense of ma chine iniquities, by again repeating and emphasizing anew the self-con demnatory statement that there are no evils to be corrected; that he sees no sins of omission nor commission, having words of praise and ill-founded and unjustifiable charity for evil-doers, and bitter-minded criticism of those who denounce public evils and de mand their correction. He has no sympathy with those who are striving for better things. Ha servilely imi tates his leader in seeking to divert public attention from the misdoings of the most odious legislature in Penn sylvania's history. He even goes further, and plays upon the chords of public ignorance, prejudice and passion. He gives grave offense to every instinct of patriotism, to every sense of Justice, by comparing men who represent and who cour ageously avow and stand for the best impulses, the best thought and the best purposes of a virtuous and pa triotic people, to the misguided anil desperate enemies of government and the public peace. This is a blunder of partisan zeal that Is worse than a de liberate crime. In his blind devotion to those whom he seeks to serve, this misguided apologetic defender of Quayism does not see that the worst anarchists this country has produced; the most dangerous enemies of the state and of society, are the men who have so deeply corrupted the political arena, so terribly polluted the very sources of government. In his public utterances thus far, Judge Pennypacker has con clusively shown his unworthiness of public trust and confidence; his blind unwisdom and pitiable weakness; that his election to the governorship of this great state as the ready servant of a corrupt machine would be a public calamity. SAVED HIS CAPITAL. A Dunk PrcMiricitt Who Did Not Fof- K*t 111 M Old Time Friend. "Come iii In tlie morning, and the bank will have something for you to do," said the president of a Broadway bunk to a meek looking man whose hair was white and whose eyes were marked by deep crow's l'eet as he left the oilice, with a bright look of satis faction on his face that had not been there before. "Let me tell you a story," said the president as he motioned to me to re main. "I was living in lowa, and three city lots composed the capital that I looked to to give me a start in business. I held on to them for a long time while working for $35 a month in a real estate office until they had advanced in value to $3,000, wliqu 1 sold them to a St. Louis man. "It was nearly 3 o'clock, and I hur ried to the bank. I made out the de posit slip and laid it, with my gold and bankbook, in front of the receiving teller. " 'lt is closing time now,' he said, 'and you had better not make your de posit until morning.' " 'Charley,' I said, for I knew him well, 'that is ridiculous. It is a half minute before closing time, and I in sist that you take my deposit. I don't want to be robbed of all that 1 have on earth before morning.' " 'I will fix it for you,' he said as lie gathered up the money and bankbook and disappeared in tlie vault with them. In a minute lie was back, and I was astonished at his actions. " 'I have put it in my private box,' he continued, 'where it will he safe, and in the morning you can make the deposit If you want to.' "Next morning the bank's failure wns announced. "I hurried to Charley's house, which was near by, and asked him about the bank. "'Yes, it has failed and won't pay a cent,' he said. 'Just live minutes be fore you came in with your money yes terday the directors decided not to open this morning. 1 was told to give out no information until business hours today, and that is the reason 1 didn't tell you. If you had made your de posit, the money would have all gone. Now it is safe in my box, and you can have it any moment you please.' "I did get it. and it was the founda tion of my fortune. The man who was just here is that Charley and was the teller who saved my capital for me." POULTRY POINTERS. Pure water is more essential than clean grass. Even though turkeys are good for agers it will not pay to let them go without proper feeding. Everything in the rearing of young poultry depends upon their cure and management at least until well feath ered. Fowls inclined to fatten too easily are not good layers. The liesh they carry makes them lazy, and this never promotes laying. Middlings make a good food for poul try, but if wet up alone it is too sticky. The better plan is to mix with bran or corn and wet with milk or scalding water. Whitewash is better than paint on the poultry houses, for the reason that It costs less and lias a purifying Influ ence. It may be applied as often as once a month to advantage. The properties of sunflower seed are peculiar, and a small quantity fed at the proper time will essentially aid in imparting to the plumage of adult fowls a gloss that no other grain will produce. (■aiiiMlioroiiKli and IIIN Carrier. One of the earliest members of the Royal academy, it was Gainsborough's custom to have his pictures conveyed to the metropolis by a prosperous Lon don carrier, a .Mr. Wiltshire of Sliock erwick, near Bath. This man refused to accept payment on the ground that he loved pictures too well, lie was not, however, allowed to go unreward ed, for Gainsborough presented him with six of his best works, and some idea of their ultimate value may be gained from tlie fact that when at length they were sold the National gal lery secured two, "The Parish Clerk of Bradford-on-Avon," for 500 guineas, and "The Harvest Wagon," for £'2,500, these prices being considered low. Later "The Sisters" from another gal lery realized close upon £IO,OOO. Nature ami Poetry. Environment aids poetry, but does not create it. Nature is the grand agent in making poetry, and poetry is present wherever nature is. It spar kles on the sen, glows in the rainbow, flashes from the lightning and the star, peals in thunder, roars in the cataract and sings on the winds. Foe try Is God's image reflected in nature, as in a mirror, and nature is present wher ever man is. Tito Ronton Boy. "Lookin' l'er a bird's nest, sonny?" asked the good nalured westerner of a seven-year-old boy whom he met In Boston Common. "No, sir," replied the intellectual prodigy as he continued to gaze up Into the tree. "I am merely endeavor ing to correctly classify this tree as a botanical product.'' Columbus State Journal.

The time Is said to be not far off when caviare will be as expensive as canvasback duck or diamondback ter rapin. Though supposed to be a for eign delicacy, It is almost exclusively American. At one time all the caviare in the market was of European origin. European waters have been nearly fished out of sturgeon, however, and today the German and Russian manu facturers, who have a practical monop oly of the finished product, rely upon the United States for the sturgeon eggs out of which the finished delicacy is made. The same process of extinction is going on In this country at a very rapid rate, aud thus far no steps have been taken by either the national or the state governments to regulate the industry. At the present time the three centers of sturgeon catching are the Delaware river, the great lakes and the Columbia river. A limited number are caught in Puget sound, and, ac cording to ship captains, there is still a vast aYid untouched supply in the waters of southern Alaska. The water ways which run from Vancouver northward along British Columbia are another field of considerable promise. But the first quality and the one which all epicures prefer conies from the Delaware. That of the great lakes Is Inferior in .flavor, while the Pacific article is altogether too rank and coarse for the most refined palate. It was the latter which was described by an Irishman as a shad roe dressed in cod liver oil. Up to the present century there were many sturgeon in the Hud son and Connecticut, in New London and Narragansett bays, as well as Long Island sound, but the number lias grown steadily smaller and today is scarcely worthy of consideration.— New York Post. Full Cnred Madman. lii London a gentleman of high rank, whose name lias not been revealed, re cently became insane on the subject of religion. He saw gods and goddesses In all sorts of inanimate things and spent hours oil his knees adoring them. Eminent physicians regarded his case as hopeless, and he was placed In the charge of two attendants, who were instructed to tuke him to a lufiatlc asy lum. Just as they were about to start, however, the unfortunate man jumped from a high window and fell with a crash oil the pavement. He wns severe ly bruised, but In a few weeks not only were his wounds healed, hut his reli gious mania also entirely disappeared. The physicians say that his reason was restored to him by the violent shock, and they assert that sucli an oc currence is unprecedented in the an nuls of medicine. Wonderful Mcillcnl Feat. At Bellovue hospital, New York, a man named Smith, who had endeav ored to commit suicide by cutting his throat, was recently cured in a most remarkable fashion. A tube wns in serted into the windpipe, so that the man could breathe, hut symptoms of pneumonia appeared. So the doctors placed a kettle of boiling water beside the bed, a pipe from which conducted hot vapor into the artificial windpipe, so that as he breathed a steady jet of hot vapor passed into the injured man's lungs. A tent was also placed over his cot so that no chilling draft might play upon him. This saved liim from the threatened pneumonia, and tlio man was well again within three weeks. Ilisr Dnuin. ' Of the many benefits for which Egypt will owe gratitude to England for generations and for centuries the building of the great dam across the Nile will rank as one of the most Im portant. Of the biggest and costliest dams now in construction anywhere on the globe one Is In Africa and two are In America. The new Croton val ley dam for New York's water supply and the Nashua river dam for Boston's water supply are now rising steadily. Each of the two will cost millions of dollars nnd will be n masterpiece of engineering. Paul KriiKcr mid IIIN Wile. Mrs. Fawcett lias been telling the Women's Eiberal Unionist club at Cambridge that It Is well known 111 Pretoria that ex-President Kruger, so far from deserting his wife, tried to Induce licr to ueeompauy him to llol land, hut slio refused.
