To the Edi tor of tho Pike County Press. Sir we find by observation that the Democrats are making special pre- ,1 Ml i parations for the coming politico, combat which takes place February 1M prox. lliey have posted a nuinlM-r of atchy notices in conspicuous places lesignating place and time of hold ing tuctr caucus. In tin t t lie notices re ho numerous and the design so leant if ul that they remind one oi the icicles that cling to the trees,! hit lies lines, gates posts etc after an storm in mid winter. Another singular thing in connec tion with these notices is this, why did thev use common steel tacks to tasten them in position when the in- time tax was said to be such n good hing, and was originated by such a iirilhant Democrnnc statesman us McMillan? Rill anol her strong intu ition that election is approaching s the fact that one will lind on near ly every street corner the Dcmocra- pohtlcal bosses absorbed ill Keep oiiversation. It is obvious t hat the Demo Tilts intend to lend irom t lit? fact that they hold their caucus in advance of the Republicans this pring. Perhaps it is good policy nil a wise precaution on tneir jiart to do so, as it will give their nomi nees a few hours advance over their ipiionents to canvass the township. Would it not be a good plan for each one of their candidates to select one of their numerous bosses toaecomp- nnv them m making their round, as there is no need in performing tliis task alone when tin- party lais such a number to expound their fal lacious doctrines. Their notices read as follows : "A Democratic cau cus will 1m- held in Millers Hall. Mat- n moras Pa. for the purpose of plac ing in nomination candidates tor the township oilicos Saturday night Jan. i, lSilti." Would it not be move proper if they read as follows. A Democratic caucus will be held in Millers saloon on Saturday night and Sunday morn ing for the purpose ot placing In nomination victims for the township ofllces, for if present indications are not deceiving the candidates will cer tainly lie vict ions after the ballots are counted. We can expect to see published after the affair what n grand success it was, and what nble men were nominated to lill tho ofll ces, also the large numbers present and how enthusiastic they were Yes, there is no doubt a limit the crowd that will assemble on this oc casion, licca use it means a large (juan tityof free beer, and alter imbibing n large percentage of the beverage they will become vociferous, and ready to combat with anything or anyone who dares impugn their actions Yours Respectfully A, ate.

Some Whys We Are Mot Wise Enough to Answer. (8Mcial Correspondence to the I'liliss.) Matamoras, Jan. 22. Why do men make laws so that ouo man can sell tho vile stuff which causes an other man to break the law, and dis turb tho peace and then send him to jail, while the other one is not dis turbed? Why do men make la ws to fine the man who kills a robin, and allow men to sell that which kills both body and soul of his brother man? Why do Republicans hesitato to take tho Prkss? Because they are not looking for office perhaps. Why do ministers of the Gospel imagine that their only duty con sists in preaching two sermons on eunuay anil attending one prayer meeting in the week, while some memljers of their church are sick at homo, and have not been able to at tend church for fourteen months.and hardly know the man who presides over the church to which they lie long? Why do ministers flatter them selves mat a gooti Hcnnonixer is worth more than a good pastor. (L'KRY. Notice. (SKi iul ComsponuViii-e tollicI'liK.-s.)

Bulletin No. !!2 of the State Col lege gives tables showing weight, size nnd productiveness of several varieties of strawberries. Thirty seven kinds were tested, but the fol lowing seem to be the only ones which gave satisfactory results: Centennial, Crawford, Crescent. Cumlicrland, Sinister, Van Deman and Win-field. The second year after planting is generally regarded ns yielding the largest and liest crop of berries, but this is shown by the table not to lie invariably true, for the fourteen vnr ities planted in 1KHL, 8 yielded more liU'ially in the third than in the second year,andof 15 other varieties planted in 1N'.2, 13 bore moro heave ly in tho second year than in the first after planting. Several kinds of blacklierries were tested, but the results were not sufficiently satisfac tory to warrant any defiinite report One novelty is mentioned as a na tive white blackberry called the Ingersoll. Plant very thrifty, erect canes, very green and almost thorn less. Not yet in bearing and will prolmbly prove very deficient in this rr.-lK'ct. Ibis general description would seem to be suggestive of the results secured by another Ingersoll, of the human species. Twenty-two varieties of raspberries were tested, but the following only show results which would entitle them to much consideration.

Womankind says, a bright, well known and good woman who wastes precious hours in answering silly questions that are soggy to slushi ness in the column of a popular woman's or rather "ladies "journal saul recently in reply to some im printed question that no woman has a right to think a man loves her be fore he says so. In other words a woman's modest and innocent na ture makes it necessary that, she should bo a fool. She is to go through life wearing an air of self depreciation, and if a man whom she can receive as a friend, and who is worthy of confidence, respect and her affection, pays her marked at tentions sho is to supposo that he simply has a brotherly interest in her, and when ho does declare, if her conduct does not prevent him from so doing, his love, the good and innocent maiden must be able to assumo an air of tho greatest sur prise, and covered with a confusion of blushes, murmer " Oh Mr Jones this is so sudden ! " She has no right to see that a man loves her : sho is to lio to herself and to him in the interest of a proper maidenly reserve. If we were a man in search of a wife we would prefer a woman with less maidenly feeling, and moro sense and honesty. Tendency Toward Sanitation. Wo can see in many different parts of tho country the effect of more people crowding into a given area than was tho ease a few years ago. Sowago that onoo went into the nearest stream must now bo dis posed of on more scientfic principles and water, once pure and abundant and near at hand, must be gathered and brought from greater distances. In our great cities the sanitary con ditions aro being more carefully looked into, and greater precautions aro found absolutely necessary to preserve tho public healtli. While some, even large, cities are slow to recognize tho altered conditions.and continue tho wasteful methods of a generation now iist, tho general tendency is toward a healthy change in practice and a wise provision for the near future. Engineering News Vaccination in Germany. The Supreme Court of the German Empire has just pronounced sen tence and ordered judgment in a case concerning vaccination. Dr. Max Boehm, who is a determined opponent, was prosecuted for hav ing certified to the successful vac cination by him of several children, because it was held that ho had used a diluted lymph, incapable of conferring immunity. Tho lower court decided against him, but the judgment was reversed by tho Su preme Court of Leipzig. The health authorities were not satisfied, ami brought him before tho same courts again on the same charge. Tho lower court again decided against him, and he appealed to the Su preme Court, but it sustained the judgment and he wus sentenced to two months' imprisonment.
