the intelligence, spirit and taste that the

WASHINGTON, 81 Dec. 1915.
In all the Periodical Journals devoted to
literature and science which abound IN Eu-
rope and in this country, this has appeared
to me the most useful. Il contains indeed
the exposition only of the current literature
Of the English language, but this, by lis i'm
nense extent and comprehension, includes
portra:ture Of the human mind in the utmost
expansion of the present age.

A sign im Pennsylvamia worth
RecOrding.

A meeting of Democrats who never vo-
ted whig ticket, but who now 90 for
SCOTT and GRAHAM, was held in
Hellam township, York county, on Satur-
day, the 2lst instant. One hundred and
twenty Democrats were present, who rails
ed apoleocer onehundred, teethigh, to which
was attached flag, on which is inscribed
in large letters SCOTT, GRAHAM,
AND THE CONSTITUTIONS
The whole affair was conducted exclu-
sively by the Democrats. Not Wing
was allowed to participate in it, although
number were present to witness the
performance.
We understand the Democrats assem-
bled had most pleasant and enthusias-
tic time of it. All seemed to enjoy them
selves, and boasted that there were plen-
tymore of their old political associates that
would 60 for Scott and Graham with as
much zeal as themselves.
Here is sign worth recording-and
worth the attention of politicians in 9TH
er States. York county is one of the
strongholds of Locofocoism, and if her
honest voters follow the example of the
Democrats of Hellam township, the ma
jority it will give for the old Hero who
has served his country so well, and who
deserves. SO justly the gratitude of his
countrymen, is not easily calculated. We
believe this to be no isolated sign of the
times-but the indication of the popular
feeling in favor of Scott, that when told
through the ballot boxes will not only as
tound our opponents, but astonish the
most sanguine friends of Scott themselves.

"The Tariff question, of Protection and
Free Trade considered" is the title of a
tract by the Editor of the Tribune. Mr.
Greeley says: "In this tract, our view
of the great political question of the day
is enunciated with clearness, though with
necessary brevity, and we solicit for it the
calm consideration of the Laborihg Mil
lions who are deeply interested in prop
er decision. We do not desire that one
side only should be heard-let our view
of the matter be compared with that of
our antagonists as developed in the Tracts,
Speeches, &c, wherewith they are now
flooding the County. We ask only an
earnest comparison, of conflicting views
and an unprejudiced decision"
This tract covers "a pages octave, and

Flat Roofs.

All the new houses, says the Scientific
Amerlcan, which have been built in New
York, have what are termed fat roofs {;
that is, the roof is nearly level and slants
but slightly from one side to the other
The old huge peak roofs are fast disap-
pearing, we wonder how they ever came
into use. The inventor of them must have
been a man full of conical ideas. The fiat
roofs are covered with tin and well paint
ed. If fire takes place in build
ing, it is easy to walk and work on the
fat roof, so as to command the fire, if it
be in the adjacent building, this cannot
be done on peaked roofs. Flat roofs are
cheaper and more convenient in every
respect. We advise all those who intend
to build new houses to have fat roofs on
them. 1t is far better to have a fushy
story at the top of building, than
peaked cramped up garret, which is only
comfortable for travelling on the hands
and knees.

A wife staked al Cards.

We have heard of slaves being staked
on game of chance on the Mississippi,
and wives being put up at auction in Eng
land, but we believe it has been reserved
for the French to introduce the stakiug of
wives at game of cards A recent
French paper reports a case that was
brought before the Correctional Police,
in which Madam T. brought suit for di-
vorce against her husband. In the course
OF the evidence it was said that on two
different occasions the wife had been Stake0z
and lost at cards, and the key of her room
handed over to the winners In the first
case she escaped by jumping out of the
window, and in the other the winner was
too much intoxicated to be dangerous
The Court granted an act of separation
but refused to divorce the parties. This
case presents rather curious picture of
French manners and morals.

The Way it Works,

AT the recent attempt, in Reading, to
magnify Pierce, resident of"Alt Berks,
heretofore strict supporter of all "Dem-
tic"nominees, heard one ofthe speak
ers with growing disfayor, but when he con-
cluded by pronouncing Scott "jackass," )"
the honest German blood was up-the old
farmer could stand such Toryism no long
er-tearing the Pierce badge from his
breast, he flung it away, exclaiming,
"That's a lie-the man that fights for his
country is no jackass-me and my FIVE
sons votes for Scott i"-And so it a0aU 90.
Abuse Scott, and the people wont stand
nta, }, give him just praise, and it attracts
all hearts for the "Hero Pacfcator" r"-the
people go for him anylt0w.-Lewisburg
