J. H. Tan Rtten, PUBLISHER, Milford, Pike County, Pa. Tho Lackawanna rnilroHd will spend 12,000 this year advertising the resorts in Monroe county and summer resort association will spend t4,000 more. The are several good roads bills now before the legislature and it is probable that ono will be passed The question as to how and by whom the state appropriation shall be ex pended has been troubling the law makers. It seems to be a general opinion with them that the dis bursement of the money shall not be left with tho supervisors to be done In the wasteful manner which characterises considerable of their work. The bill fixing the minimum wages of teachers at $35 only lacks the governors signature to become a law. It will be a problem for directors iu some townships in this county how to continue the same number of schools and pay tho wages. It might be well for those tn that difficulty to consider oareful ly the matter of centralizing some of the schools. That too would probably induce better roads. The senate has passed the teachers salary bill making the minimum (35 a month and it has gone to the governor for his action. L. H Wagner, after spending some time visiting in Irvington, N. J., has returned to town. Rev. C. E. Scudder is absent at tending conference at Newark. There seems some uncertainty as to his return here as pastor. He has served the church with zeal and ability and it is only natural and proper that a faithful servant should be called to a higher station. The appropriation committee of tho house has decided to refuse all applications of State Normal Schools for new buildings and improve ments. East Stroudsburg hoped to secure $75,000 and this con clusion frustrates its expectation. Northampton county democrats have resolved to make one termers of all county officials. There are too many applicants for "pop" to give one man more than one dose at a time. Is it Troinkle f John H. Ryder insists that he Saw Troinkle on the Port Jervis roan week before last coining thin way. The man crossed the Milford bridge here the same day and went on the Jersey side recrossing at Dinsmans. Last week a person was seen by Mrs. Brown, occupying an old bouse on the Mulfurd place in Delaware, but apparently thinking be was watched he left. Later he was heard of at Bradleys and it has boon reported that Ed. Drake, Nick Holdon with several others had a character cornered in the Fioot house on the Dingman turnpike lust Sunday night but iu the darkness he escaped. Some think the man is tho murdorer Troinkle. Lincoln, Nebraska, does not appear upon 1'retilduut Roosevelt's western itineracy. It will therefore be un necessary for Mr. Bryan to prepare bis glowingly euloi.-itic address of V, tU'oioe. It is not stated whether Minister t'lieiig will follow Miui.-ter Vu's questioning example.

This will bo h Palm Sunday discourse. Iu the evening the pastor will preacli on "Gothsemane" and the though' will be in keeping with the bi gin ing of Passion week. The Wednes day evenina tonto will be, "Some Lessons from Passion Week." Good Friday evenins the pastor will preach an appropriate discourse No word of justification is necessary for the themes or services as they meant much to Jesus and all Christ endom should observe these solemn services. All are hereby most cordially invited to worship with us next Bubbath. We would be especially pleased to have the Methodist peo ple with us in caso they have no services during the absence of their pastor. Tardiness at services is becoming noticeable again and the pastor hopes special effort may be made on the part of worshippers to be punctual. Our services begin on time and those who are late lose by it to say nothing of the disturbance they occasion for those who are on time. The "Bog Bale" for April 16th is progressing and promises to be success. Have you done anything to help it along? The Indies will be glad to hear from you as well as glad to see you at the sale. The next normal class examina tion will be heldat the homo of Miss Mott next Tuesday at 4 p. m. We hope to see all the members of the class that can possibly arrange to come. The new calendar Is now printed and obtainable by every member the church and congregation who wishes one. Reformed Church Notes. (By Rev. A. J. Meyer of Montague.) The last quarterly communion ot the ecclesiastical year will take place next Sabbath morning at the oonolusion of the regular service At this time, also, opportunity will be given for the baptism of the infants of Christian parents. Topi of the morning service, The sixth word from the cross, "It is finished' John 19 : 30. The Consistory of the church will hold thair usual precoinraunioti session in the church parlors receive those who desire to make oonfession of their faith in Christ or to deposit their letters with our ohurch. It is earnestly hoped that the all important question of the soul's salvation will be the thought of many hearts this week and that many may be led by the Holy Spirit to offer their lives to the ever bless ed Master. The Dorcas society meets th week at the home of Mrs. Dr. Marti Cole. There will be no session of the Ladies Aid society next week. The Ladies Aid sooietv will hold an apron sale and ice cream social in the church parlors at Montague on Thursday evening, April 9tn, stormy the next fair eveuing. Here is a splendid opportunity tD purchase at a reasonable figure some of the neat handiwork of our ladies. By action of classis the pastor of this church is to go to Calliooon, N Y., next week to hold a specia service in the interesti of classis and to deepen, by the power of the Spirit, the spiritual life of the church. The young people gave a choic entertainment at the Methodist church on Tuesday evening. Tin church was crowded with friends of the entertainers. The proceed are to be devoted to Foreign Mis sions. The Kansas City Journal remarks that it is all right for the wise ones to advise that Southern planters hold their cotton, but haw can tliey do so when it is floating down tlie river along with their chicken coops and bed room furniture. Colonel Watterson takes a respite from criticisms of Mr. Cleveland for a sufficient interval now and then to throw a bomb into the New York four hundred. Ills lust intiinution i that some of the New ork swells have negro blood in their veins. Sir Thomas Lipton Buys that he sure going to win the cup with Shamrock III. Here's to the hope then, that Sir Thomas wins as usual Grip Remedies in Great Demand When colds and grip are preva lent the quickest and surest reme dies are in great demand. Mr. Joseph D. Williams, of MuDuiT, Va., says that, be was cured of a very deep an.! hinting attack of !,i grippe, by u;-ii!g Chain'ori'lain's Cough Remedy after trying Heveral other prtpiirutioiia with no eJTi.ct. For WHAT THE DOCTOR SAYS. An unfortunate result of usin X- rays to remove pupertliinus hairs from the fnce is repovteti from Iter- wbcre a doctor has been fined $75, the patient's face having become red, Slid her lips fiwollen. llntfnsinitis'' Is a new word coined by a French physician to describe the fctate of mind, similar to Intoxication, produced In kleptomaniacs when they see the tempting display of seeming- unguarded articles in department stores. Dr. Dubnisson thinks that the owners of these storea should try to diminish temptation, as well as to punish thieves. The "freezing well" of Hnonl rlctet Is a fur-lined steel cylinder about five feet deen. In this is placed the suf- e.rer from lung, stomach or kidney disease, for five to fifteen minutes, and a liquefied mixture of sulphurous and carbonic acids, at 110 degrees be- ow zero, is circulated by special pump3 between the dminie vvns in the cylinder. Hy eight applications of this treatment, which gives no sensation of cold, Picket claims to have cured his own dyspepsia of 15 vears' standing. Two parasitic worms, blthnria and ankylostomum, work terrible havoc among natives of Egypt. How these parasites reach the intestines has been a matter of much speculation, but Prof. Looss, accidentally infect ing himself with ankylostomiasis, by allowing a drop of water to rest on his hand, has been able to prove that the larva of one species at least en ters the body through the skin: As the same is doubtless true of bilhnr zin, simple wading in the infected Nile explains the prevalence of two dread diseases. IN THE ANIMAL KINGDOM. A herring lives the shortest time of any fish when taken out of water; carp and eels the greatest length of time. Wax is not gathered from flowers nor fi'om any other source, but is a natural secretion of the bees and is only produced by them (luring heavy honey flows. The pulse of that rat-like animal. the hamster, bents 150 times to the minute in summer, but In winter. when the creature hibernates, this rate decreases to 15 times a minute. The great Japanese python which lately died at the Paris Zoo fasted before its death for two years, five months and three days, and in that time decrensed from a weight of ICO pounds to 60 pounds. The tails of fishes are so much larger than their fins, because their tails are their chief instruments of motion, while their fins are employed more to direct their progress and steady their movements. A peculiar sensitiveness to light ning has been noted in fishes. In several recent eases, trout and other fishes in tanks and pools have been killed hy lightning ftasheg, which, however, struck some distance away. The known mammals of Greenland are. stated by Herluf Winge to num ber 30. Of these, 10 are cetaceans and six are marine carnivores (seals). On land there are two rodents (the polar hare and the lemming), two nn gulates (the reindeer and the musk ox), and four carnivores (the Arctic fox, the wolf, the polar bear and the stoat or ermine). FOREIGN CITY AFFAIRS. Berlin bos 25,769 cellars inhabited by human beings. Paris has 51,000 street lamps, but only 39,000 are lighted at night. Printed in English and devoted to commerce, a new daily newspaper is about to be issued in St. Petersburg A society for decorative art has been founded in Copenhagen, and opened its first exhibition on t'ebru ary 1.

Berlin hn3 229,000 resiliences with one room that can be heated; but in 170,000 of these cases this one room is the kitchen.

IF WW i vs si? Every farmer knows that orne plants grow better than nhers. Soil may be the same nd seed may seem the same ut some plants are weak and thers strong. And that's the way with ;hildren. They are like young ol ants. Same food, same home, a me care but some grow big vnd strong while others stay .mall and weak. Scott's Emulsion offers an asy way out of the difficulty. Child weakness often means starvation, not because of lack f food, but because the food Iocs not feed. Scoti's Emulsion really feeds md gives the child growing sire ngth. Whatever the cause of weak ness and failure to grow Scott's Emulsion seems to find it and svt the matter riidit.
