NUMBER 36. OUR NEW INDUSTRY. THE WEEKLY MOUNT JOY BOROUGH. FLORIN, PENNA | MANY LOCAL NOTES. Florin is Progressing in the Manufactur- Happenings of the Week Told in a Brief What Transpired in Our Busy Village ing World. The manufacturing industries of this country are collectively assuming such gi- gaatic and undreamed of proportions that the gereral public is being awakened to the | possibility of an industrial era whichis like- ly to make of each village in the land, a humming hive of industry and the descrip- | tion of each one of note will be eagerly hailed as an additional proof that the aggre gate figures now so freely printed in the ; different papers, are facts and not “‘irrede- cent dreams.” The innocuons desuetule which seemed to hold our industrial centers in hypnotic thrall seven or eight years ago, is being rapidly dispelled by an activity far | from pernicious which is infusing a new | life into capital and labor alike. One of other impressive scenes of our cor- espondent as he was making his usual rounds of the town in search for news was the busy movement and bustle in the above named manufacturing plant situated in the new addition to our village, which was laid out into building 1,ts by H. B. Nissley one of the enterprising men of the town, a short time ago, being on the corner of Square and Orange streets,on a high clevation near the main line of the Pennsylvania railroad, about 13 miles from Lancaster and 24 miles from Harrisburg, only 3 hours ride from Philadelphia and 4 hours from New York, with the old line of the Pennsylvania rail- road running close by the buildings. These works are admirably located both for ship- ping their finished products and receiving their crude material. Although operations were only begun a short time ago, yet this enterprising firm has already shipped goods throughout the country from the snow-clad hills of Maine, to the sunny lands of California, and from the Gulf of Mexico to the Dominion of Can- ada. The building, though not a very large one; is a two-and-a half-story frame struc- ture. The first floor consists of an office and working room which is fitted up with modern machinery to do the work for which it is intended, while the second story is used as a storage room for the finished pro- ducts. Here we saw in every stage of construc- tion, one of the famous O. K. Vegetable 0. K. Vegetable Cutter. Cutters, of which this company makes a specialty, as well as a number of other small article which they manufacture. Following is a short description of this wonderful machine. It standssixteen inch es high and weighs nine pounds. It is fitt- ed with a broken joint which makes it con- venient to adjust to either a table, sink- bench or tub. It is so easily adjusted to cut coarse or fine or both, at the same time, that and child can operate it with pleasure and satisfaction. It cuts all kinds of vege- tables such as cabbage for sauer krout, tur- nips, potatoes, radishe and is one of ae vot hdsome over | the Rl1s- Yet Interesting Manner.

BULLETIN +» WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 29, 1902, FOR THE CHILDREN Cabbage nnd Potato Classes, Many boys In German schools be- sides learning reading, writing and arithmetic study cabbages and pota- toes. They spend whole afternoons in the school gardens. Many cities in Germany have set aside a plot of land not far from the school where all sorts of vegetables and plants are grown. Here the boys learn how to transplant trees and sow all kinds of different seeds. They learn why the cabbage is first coursin to the cauliflower, when turnips should be pulled and how to tell when a melon is ripe. about the various kinds of Poison vines are grown, and the boys are taught to recognize them. Boys are thus inspired to start little gardens at home. Boys in Germany go to school longer during the year than they do in Ameri- ca. There they have only four weeks of vacation in the summer, although they have two weeks at Christinas, two at Easter and two in October. The school gardens give the boys more out- | door life during the school term than American boys get. Every two weeks the gardener has a circular printed and distributed among the schools tell- ing what plants are in bloom, what | fruits are ripe, and so on, so that every c¢hild may see them, Such gardens cost money, but the Germans believe that their children should be thoroughly trained in the schools. Bismarek, the greatest Ger- man, said, “The nation that has the schools has the future.” In 28,000 elementary schools, which has a garden attached to it. Sweden even as far back years ag ing instruction in horticulture, and each of the 2,616 schools had for cul- tivation from cne to twelve acres, Russia many children are taught treo, each of In vine, grain, garden, silkworm and bee culture. A Perplexing Game, Before beginning the game of neigh- bors it is necessary to inquire who knows it, for it cannot be played un- less there is at least one person to whom it is new. When that person has been discovered—and in this there is need for diplomacy, lest he suspect a trick—he is sent out of the room, but before going Le is told that the party will arrange to think of some object and that on his return he will have to find out what it is by questioning ach person in turn, but framing his | questions so that the answers may Le Yes.” “No” or “1 don't know. After he has retired it must be ex- plained to the players, who are seated in a circle, that each is to fix on his or her left hand neighbor as the object to be guessed, that all questions must be answered truthfully, having regard to that person. The result will be most bewildering, for, as will be readily un- derstood, the queries will lead to an swers which will make “it” appear to Le Loth dark and fair, man and wom- an, tall and shert and a variety of oth- cr absurdities and contradictions.

A little girl from town was staying with some country cousins who live on a farm. On the night of her arrival she found to her mortification that she was ignorant of all sorts of things con- nected with farm life which to her country cousins were matters of every- day experience. She fancied they seem- ed amused at her ignorance. At break- fast the following morning she saw on the table a dish of honey and regarded this as an opportunity of retrieving her humiliating experiences of the night | her country | before and of showing cousins that she knew something of country life after all. fo, looking at the dish of honey, she said carelessly, “Ah, I see you keep a bee.” Ee cui Cut this out and take it to J S Carmany’s store and get a free sampleof Chamberlain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets, the best physic They also cure disorders of the stomach, biliousness and headache Teo Clean Gold Lace, To clean gold lace trimming and fringe soak the article in benzoline and when thoroughly wet take out and scrub lightly with a small brush on which a little dry plaster of paris has been sprinkled.

Skating is truly the king of outdoor recreations, and its votaries comprise both young and old, the rich and the poor. The championship meet of the Na- tional Skating assoclation is scheduled b take place Jan. 31 and Feb. 1 at DR. ARTHBR G. EEANL. [Champion figure skater of America.] either Poughkeepsie, N. Y., or Mont- clair, N. J. All the amateur experts of this country will appear, and a sextet of prominent Canadian cracks has entered to defend the titles captur- ed from our boys in Montreal last year, igure skating is another branch of the great sport that is receiving a deal of attention just at present. Dr. Ar- thur G. Keane of New York is the American champion, having success- fully defended the title for three con- secutive years, Dr. Keane performs all the most difficult maneuvers and in the opinion of experts will win again in this year's contest. GClymplan Games of #001, It Is now an established fact that the Olympian games of 1904 will be held in Chicago, and the committee in charge of the preparations is already deep in its voluntary task of promot- ing the event. One of the latest fea- tures planned to add interest to the athletic games and gymnastic contests is a museum of athletic apparatus, chronologically arranged so as to show the improvement in the instruments of all lines of sports. The congress of the Olympian committees of all coun- tries will be held this spring at DBrus- sels, and the importance of the meet- ing has been increased by the an- nouncement already made that King Leopold will preside. The following men have been appointed a committee on finance for the games: Benjamin Rosenthal, chairman; H. N. Hig:n- botham, ex-president of the World's Columbian exposition; James HH. Eck- els, ex-comptroller of the treasury; Or- son Smith, Clarence Buckingham, Charles L. Hutchinson, and Otto Young. Mike Dsvyer's Yearlings. Although the well known name of M. F. Dwyer has not been seen on the race programme during the past sea- gon, It is said the “white, gold tassel,” will again be seen on the turf next summer, as he has ten yearlings now quartered at the Gravesend (N. Y.) race course, and it is heped that some of them will revive the glories of oid times. The yearlings are in the care of Trainer Richard Miller, who has | been in charge since the death of Har- dy Campbell, for whom he acted as foreman. Healey Parts With MeCue, Tom Healey, who will train exclu- sively for R. T. Wilson, Jr., next sea- | son, has stated that he has parted com- pany with the former jockey, Patsy McCue. and thought it best to let him have a free hand. McCue has taken on so much flesh of late that there are only two courses left open for him to earn a living as a rider—to become a stee- plechase joekey or go to England, where the scale of weights is high. Canada Cup Race In 19503. The internationalsyacht race for the Canada cup, which was to have been sailed between vessels representing the Royal Canadian Yacht club of To- ronto and the Rochesfer Yacht club off Toronto harbor in 1902, has been postponed until 1903, since it is not likely that the Yaclt Racing Union of the Great Lakes will decide in time to permit the clubs to build what class of yachts shall be permitted to enter for competition for this cup.

Over the top and | bottom is laced across the puff either | a daintily embroidered round piece of i white linen or of lace. One of the pret- | tiest is made with lace covers crochet- | ed in a pattern that reminds one of the | Irish lace patterns. he thread used for the purpose is No. 160. The soft | puff of silk puffs out between the lac- ngs, which are made at every broad scallop. When linen is used, the edges are scalloped and bLuttonhole stitched, ! and eyelets are worked in each broad ' scallop for the ribbon or silk cord. | Sometimes no cover is used for the bottom, the top being laced and tacked "at the base of the puff and giving the same effect on the top. | ings A Den In the Attic. An attic room, with its sloping eceil- ing and irregular walls, can be con- | verted into the most charming little “den” imaginable.

The odd chairs and bits of fur- niture that appear so out of place in other parts of the modern house often fit into this quaintly shaped room quite as though they had been purchased for that very purpose, and the bric-a-brae and novelties in the way of pictures and plaster casts that have been ed down to such ridiculg prices since the holid ' gible to fit up on VEIY 01 gaa L
