VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT ITp in Honesflalc, the Maple City, the ladies have taken up the subject of village Improvement In a syste matic manner by organizing them selves Into a society. That beautiful borough bears testimony to the effec tive work done by its public spirited women and is made neater and more attractive in appearance thereby. There is amole opportunity and really occasion for similar work here. Many places in town could witli slight outlav be made to present a more enticing appearance than at present, Centre square could be developed into an attractive parterre which would please the eye and there are numerous spots which a few flowers would greatly adorn. The placing of seats at convenient places would no doubt be greatly appreciated both by town people and city guest9 and there are many ways which feminine ingenuity could devise and suggest to render the town more pleasing in aspect and delightful for summer sojourners. The habit of neatness would be cultivated and a commendable spirit of emulation aroused respecting the adornment of the entire village. The matter should be agitated and the preliminary steps taken to do the work forthwith. No doubt the men, glad to see such Im provement in progress In such competent hands, would make liberal contributions. We trust the ladies will be Incited to undertake a scheme for village improvements now. Pennsylvania Is giving evidence of awakening in educational affairs.The Balary bill giving teachers not less than $35 a month and the convic tion in Philadelphia of four members of a sectional school board for con spiracy to extort money from teach ers asking situations in the schools are hopeful signs. We may in time rank educationally with a southern state. The letter from "A Democrat" In another column is eharper in some respeots than 'a hens tooth. It resembles a ben. too, in another way, in that it soratobes np a nest la whioh some harpies have been hatching their eggs. Well, it is not onr funeral. Is the way of the transgressor any harder than that of some council- men and school directors? Inhere are Jordana apparently iu every pathway. Mrs. Emaline Biddis is very dan gerously ill. MUs Pamela Rued is at The Anchorage for the Easter vacation. Miss Millie Westbrook of Ridge wood, N J., is a guebt of the Miaaos Decker. The governor has taken a hand in good roads legislation and it is now highly probable that the Sproul bill will pass. The directors of the Independent School District of Milford have ex tended the time for reoeiving bids for erecting the new building from April 14it to April 21st.

Hen's and duck's eggs are com monly offered in our markets, but turkey eggs are seldom eaten. Flover eggs are esteemed a great dolioacy In England and Germany. In Virginia gull's eggs are com monly eaten, and In Texas the eggs of terns and herons are gathered along the coast. Turtle eggs are highly prized in countries where they are abundant, and though once commonly eaton in America, are new seldom offered. lien's eggs have a white or brown color, bat duck's eggs are bluish white. . i i , n inches long and 1 inches wide, at lha broadest point and weighs 2 ounces. . Iteoent official government figures show that eggs and poultry in the eastern states constitute from 1-12 to 1-6 of the total value of all farm products. The flavor of eggs may be Influenc ed by the food eaten by laying hens. The North Carolina Experiment Stations, by feeding a quantity of chopped wild onion tops and bulbs to hens, obtained eggs so pronounced in flavor that they could not be eaten and this continued while the onion ration was fed.

Dedication Ceremonies at St. Louis On account of the dedication oeremonies of the Louisiana Pur chase Exposition at St. Louis, Mo., April 30th to May 2nd, and the National and International Good Roads Convention to be held at St. Louis, Mo., April 27th to May 2nd, the Erie "will sell special excursion tiokets from Port Jervis to St. Louis April 26th, 27th, 28th and 29th, good returning, leaving St. Louli not later than May 4th, at one fare for the round trip. 4-10 Senator Tillman Is to lecture throughout Wisconsin. Mr. Tillman will next' lie writing a book. lonsiiiiiptioii The only kind of consump tion to lear is " neglected consumption. People are learning that con sumption is a curable disease, It is neglected consumption mat is so otten incurable. At the faintest suspicion of consumption eet a bottle of Scott's Emulsion and bepnn regular doses. The use of Scott's Emulsion at once, has, in thousands of cases, turned the balance in favor of health. Neglected consumption does not exist where Scott's Emul sion is. Prompt use of Scott's Emul sion checks the disease while it can be checked. Sid tuf lli KUipU. SCOTT & bOWNK. CbcmuM, i f .00; U 4i a.'., , Presbyterian Chroniclings (y Her. K. M. Pmeacl.) Next Sabbath is the most mean ingful of all the ecclesiastical year. Easier gives us the solid foundation for our faith, our (Jhristiau institu tions, and our hope of eternal life and no wonder the joyous Easter chimes shall peal the world around. The themes will be In keeping with the day. The morning theme will be "The Resurrection," and the evening discourse will be npnn the scenes of the first Easter evening. There will be special music which will amply repay all who come to worship with us. Miss Gladys Bur nett of Brooklyn, who is about to sail for Europe to pursue further studies in voice culture, will sing at the morning service. Let there be a large congregation at both sevvioes. It was with great pleasure that the pastor observed the presence of our friends from tho other congrega tions of tho village on last Lord's Day. The unity of a common sympathy adds much to the Master's work and that is a feature of our church life here in Milford. This evening there will be held a Good Friday service in the parlors of tho church. This is the first attempt to bold snoh a service in the church but It is hoped that a large number may be iu attendance. Before coming pray for the service, the pastor, the church, and the world as well as for thyself. It nas been suggested that an Easter offering be made for the benefit of our churoh work. This offering has not been nrged and prepared for but if any special liberality is shown on this gladsome day we will be greatly pleased and encouraged. rue iinanoial statement that goes to Presbytery this yenr shows an advance in every way and the con gregational expenses are tar in excess of previous years on account of the improvements made in the church and manse. The benevolences are not proportionately larger but considering the outlay in other directions the pastor feels pleased with the results of the past year and desires to thank and praise the faithfulness of those who have made this report to Presbytery possible, Remember tho "Bag Sooial" next week, Thursday, April 16. The church is taxed ten cents per capita and while this is a small amount still it amounts to consider able when taken from the regular church funds. This tax also has to be paid at the meeting of Presbytery which oocurs one week from next Monday, April 20tb. Will not each member of the charch, man, woman or child, call upon George Mitchell, at your earliest possible convenience and pay this tax. The money goes to the general assembly fund and makes possible the holding of the great annual meetings of our great church. The pastor is the president of the Pike county Sunday school associa tion and would announce the animal mooting to be held the first day of May at Dingman's Ferry. There are two very talented men who are to be at the convention and speak. Mr. Hugh Cork who is the general state Secretary of Pennsylvania will speak in the afternoon on "Sugges tions to those who work with young children" and in the evening be Will again speak on "Planning and work ing for definite results." Dr. Lopge, for a long time the state secretary of Delaware, will also be presont and speak on "The best school for Pike oounty." Wo hope this convention will be very largely attended and that much good may be derived from it. We have just learned that Rev. Mr. Souddor is to leave us and take up a now charge. It has been a pleasure to work with this brother minister. He has boon active and aggressive in all lines of work for the Lord. May his new field be pleasant and enjoyable. We con gratulate him upon the advanced salary and the larger sphere of usefulness and while we are worry to see him go still we rejoice in the pleasure of having knowu him and bid him an earnest, sincere God speed. High Presauie Cays Men and women alike have to work incessantly with brain and baud to hold their own nowaduys. Never were the demands of business the wants of the fumily, the re quirements of society, more unme rous. The first effect of the praise worthy effort to keep np with all these tilings is commonly seen iu a weakened or debilitated condition of tiie nervous system, which remits in dyspepsia, defective nutrition of both body and bruin, and in extreme categ in complete nervous prostra tion. It is clearly seen that what is needed is what will sustain the system, give vigor and tone to the nerves, and keep the digestive and assimilative functions healthy and active. From personal knowledge, we can recommend Hood's Snrsupa rilla ton this purpose. It acts on all the vititl organs, builds up the whole system, and fits men and women for these high-pressure d iys. Peculiar To Itself In what it Is nnd what it does con taining the best blood-purifying, alterative and tonic substances and effecting the most radical and per manent cures of all humors and all eruptions, relieving weak, tired, languid feelings, and building up the whole system-ls true only of Hood's Sarsaparilta No other medicine acts like it; no other .rnedininoi hnn. done bo much, real, .substantial good, no other medicine ha restored health and Btrenglh at sd little cost.

Grip Remedies in Great Demand When coklb and grip are prava lent the quickest und surest reme dies are in great demand. Mr. Joseph D. Williams, of McDuff, Va., says that he was cured of a very deep and lastius; attack of la grippe by utiiug Chamberlain's Cough ; Keniedy after trying several other preparations with no effect. For ; S sulo by Biik'h &r Son, Matamoras, ' all general stores in I'lke county, j V Shamrock III is de-ierlbed as a "wonder." It is probable, however, thnt more Englishmen than Ameri cans are doing the wondering. We confess ourselves to feeling somewbnt confident. What would be thought of a parent of a dozen 01 fifteen children who carried on at such a pace as the Father of Waters Is setting? There Is now great danger in Washington In automnhillng, this time for the automobilist. Four of them were recently fined In a single day for fust riding. In his Milwaukee speech tho presi dent defined the policy of the republi can party as one to regulate not destroy trusts, and that the existing legislation is all that Is practicable at the present time. Control of trusts by means of the tariff he declared a futile remedy. Washington has adopted nn anti spitting ordinance, which makes expectorating on the sidewalks a punishable offense. This will be tough on the politicians when congress assembles next fall. Kx-Vice-Presidential Candidate Adlal Stevenson in a speech at a Des Moines dinner the other night, pro claimed his unalterable loyalty to the Bryan Idea, and at the same time everlastingly whaled the other wing of the democracy for thinking other wise. President Castro, now that he has recalled his resignation, expects to remain president of Venezuela until peace and order are restored a life Job. Danger ol Colds and Grip The greatest danger from colds and grip is their resulting in pneu monia. If reasonable care is used, however, and Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken, all danger will be avoided. Among the tens of thous ands who have used this remedy for these diseases we have yet to learn of a single case having resulted in pneumonia, v hioh shows conclusive ly that it is a certain preventive of that dangerous disease. It will cure a oold or an attack of the grip in less time than any other treatment. It is pleasant snd safe to take. For sale by Balch & Son, Matamoras, all general stores in Pike county.
