While the team attached to the "buss"
of the Bailey House was being driven to
the depot by Mr.. Charles Everett on last
Monday evening it tried to get away.
Charley did his best to hold them and
could no doubt have succeeded had not his
feet slipped from the steps against which
he was trying to brace himself. causing
him to fall of. He fortunately escaped
with no serious injury. The horses be-
ing without driver started on full
run. Mr.. H. D. Everett who was the
only occupant of the vehicle jumped out.
The animals were stopped before they
had gone far and although the bus" had
in the meantime been upset the only
damage done to it was the breaking of
tina neckyoke.

The young ladies of the Presbyterian
church gave reception to Rev. G. D.
Marsh and wife on Thursday evening
last. 1t was intended to be informal and
to afford an opportunity to Mr.. and Mrs.
Marsh of becoming acquainted with the
members of the congregation. The at
tendance was large on the part of those
most interested and included quite a
number of representatives from the
Methodist and Episcopal churches of the
town. On the wall in the rear of the
pulpit was the word Welcome, in
evergreens, which met the eye of every
one entering the room and which all
seemed to feel meant exactly what it
said. After the pastor and his wife ar
rived they were severally introduced to
those present. Refreshments, consisting
of oysters, cakes and coffee. were then
served. The remainder of the
evening was pass d
very pleasantly, so pleasantly indeed,
that if q motion had been made to thank
the young ladies for their efforts in max.
ing this social gathering great success.
it would have been carried unanimously.

Two Very Tall Skeletons.

The following was copied verbatim
from note made in his pocket almanac
by the late Judge Alice: ION the 9th
of May, 1898, being at Hanover york
County. Pal in company with Chief
Justice Mexican, Judge Bryan. Mr..
Burd and others. on our way to Frank
lin, and. taking q view of the town. in
company with Mr.. NcAlister, and sew
eral other respectable inhabitants, we
went to Mr.. Neese's lanyard, where we
were shown place near the currying
house from whence Tin digging to sink
tan-vat) some years ago were taken
two skeletons of human bodies. They
lay close beside each other, and meas
ured about eleven feet three inches in
length; the bones were entire, but on
being taken up and exposed to the air
they presently crumbled and tell to
pieces. Mr.. McAlister and some othe.s
mentioned that they and many others
had seen them, and Mr.. McAlister, who
Is a tall man, about six feet four inches
high, mentioned that the principal bone
of the leg of one of them, being placed
by the side of his leg, reached from his
ankle q considerable way up his thigh,
pointing small distance below the hip
bone. "-Harrisburg (Pd.) Telegraph.

Palestine.

The progress which has been made
in Palestine during the last twenty-five
years is especially evident in the cree
ton of many new buildings. In Jeru-
salem, inside the town, ruined houses
have been restored or rebuilt. Outside
the old town are entirely new suburbs,
the extension being made especially
toward the west. The Jews have
formed among themselves building so
cieties, which have erected long bar
rack-like buildings adapted for several
families. The number of dwellings
during the last twenty-five years has
been trebled. Bethlehem conveys the
impression of newly-built town. In
Jaffa the town wall has been demolished,
the ditch filed up and a number of new
houses and magazines, even palatial
buildings, have been erected. So also
in the gardens of Jaffa many new houses
have been erected, and to the south and
north of the town complete Arabic sub
urbs, mostly by settlers from Egypt.
In Ramleh, also, new houses are seen,
still more in Kaifa. Nazareth has in
creased in size, and looks as If it had
been rebuilt. Tiberias also has its new
houses; in Jenin new military arsenal
has been erected, as also in Nablus,
along with a fine new barrack. In the
latter place the once lonely valley
toward the east has assumed quite
homely aspect, and in the town are
many new private buildings and also a
newkhan; there are also the new school,
the Roman monastery and the buildings
of the Protestant Mission. In Beth1e-
hem a new barrack and arsenal have
been erected. Through the schools and
the increasing trade the working people
have acquired greater style and taste,
and the newer houses are thus mostly
q great improvement ON the old-not
the Oldest, which, as a rule, are well
built. Nearly all the houses have now
glass windows, rare thing twenty
years ago.

Living Beyond Our Means.

IHAvE often wondered why it was
that people viii be so utterly blind to
their own interest and future welfare as
to live in style beyond their income,
so that they can appear as others who
are more highly favored financially, but
which can only bring to them CALLING
modification and misery in the end. /
know it is of quite frequent occurrence
in large cities that family may to-day
be apparently wealthy and move in the
best society, while to-morrow's sun
may find them penniless and friendless.
Yet while in the country comparatively
few keep up this hollow show, we are
not without such people. 1 once knew
q farmers family, who, by industry and
economy had become what was thought
very comfortably situated. The mother,
however, had some very high notions
OF her own about education and refine
ment (who, by the way was very illit-
erate). and said her daughters must
not work as she had to, but be educated.
And as they could not afford to do all
this and keep up stylish appearance
too, they did not hire servants. and 50
the whole burden of household cares
rested on her alone. During vacation
their time was wholly occupied playing
crOquet, going a-nutting, or picnicking
and entertaining their newly made
friends, therefore the mothers work
was greatly increased, instead of being
diminished by their assistance. There
was no time for the poor tired woman
ever to take peep into book or
paper, and thereby keep pace with her
daughters in the attainment of general
knowledge. At last their education
was considered finished" Then
arose most perplexing question as
what was to be done with mother, rs
she must now be introduced, though
not prepared for so elevated a position.
Then they resorted to silks and CASH
meres, hair-dye and gold spectacles;
but fine clothes can never take the place
of cultured mind and refined manners,
and the result of all this was that she
made herself perfectly obnoxious to all
her old friends and acquaintance, and,
worse than all, she utterly despised
people that worked, "they were all
coarse and ignorant" and the whole
extent of her conversation was about
her refined daughters. When last I
saw her l hardly recognized her in her
disguise, save by her awkward manner
and commonplace talk. This is not
the only instance I could relate; there
are far too many others, some of which
made such desperate efforts to keep up
q certain style that their farms were
mortgaged. and finally sold, and they
awoke to the awful reality that they had
voluntarily gone down into the mael-
strom of financial ruin, and were penni-
less. Their fashionable friends care
nothing for them now as they have lost
their ''fine feathers" and their old
neighbors whom they forsook in pros
perity. in return care nothing for their
friendship, and so they sink into de-
served insigniticance. Should refined,
intelligent people, who never appear
anght save what they really are, recog-
nize or humor "Mrs. Shoddy's" pre-
tensions? How is society to rid itself
of her presenceP-Cor. Tereland Herald.

More Wife tnam Country.

The other night, soon after ward
meeting had opened, one of the elect
ors present began edging for the door
as if he meant to leave the place. He
was soon stopped by a friend, who said:
'DOn't leave us now, l want you to
hear what that speaker is saying. Hear
that! He SAYS we must triumph or the
country is doomed"
Eyes, know, but I've got to edge
along towards home," was the reply.
"Home? Great heavens! How can
you talk of going home until he has
finished that speech? There he goes
again! He asks if you want to see
grass growing in the streets of our
cities-our fertile farms returned to the
wilderness families crowding the
poor-houses until there is no longer
room to receive another?'
''No, l don't know as I would, but I
guess I'll sort o. work my way out"
"Wait fifteen ADMINISTRATIVE
wait until he finishes. There it is
again! He asks whether you are free
man or slave? He wants to know if
you have forgotten the patriotic prin-
ciples defended by the blood of your
grandsires you have forgotten the
sound Of liberty bell?"
Il don't know as have. but must
go-really must"
"Hear that-hear that! He says
your country will bless you"
II can't say as to that" replied the
man. as he crowded along; "but I'm
dead sure that the old woman will if I
don't git home in time to put this cod
fish to soak for breakfast"
"Great guns! but do you prefer cod
fish to liberty?" exclaimed the other.
II don't know as do, but I git more
of it."
"And you will see this country ruin

quent, as he reached the door, .'but if
