There are several gutter crossings in
town that are dangerous and ought to be
put in different condition as soon as possible,
We refer especially to one at Main and
West streets, and another on Fifth street
at Catharine. They are so deep that there
is danger of breaking wagon springs or
pitching the occupants of wagons out of
their vehicles in crossing them. If any ac-
cidents should occur at these places at
night the town would undoubtedly have to
pay damages.

placed. Travel over the wagon road by

his name. The remains were buried here

We fully agree with the remarks made

We fully agree with the remarks made
last week by one of our contemporaries
on the condition in which the cemetery is
kept. Little or no money is spent in beau
tifying the grounds, though the corporation
is abundantly able to pay for all the labor
that would be necessary to make it an at
tractive spot, In this connection, there is
another matter that will have to be consid-
cred within Il very few years, and that is u
new cemetery, Rosemont is rapidly fill
ing up, and before long all the available
space will be occupied. A new ground,
further from town, larger in size, and more
favorably located, should be secured, and
laid out in an attractive manner so that
when any Of us are called upon to bury our
dead we may not feel that WEI are obliged
to put them away in neglected meadow.

Red ants may be banished from pantry
or storeroom by strewing the shelves with

shelves. The cloves should be renewed oc-
casionally, rs after time they lose their
strength and efficacy.

How to Treat BOys-The secret Of
Succes8 with Them.
lLLRf " SLEEPY,
Orangeville, Pa.

1t should not be expected, says well
known writer, that boy will become
man, and be able to do mans work well,
without receiving instruction from those
to whom he has a right to look for advice.
But great many fathers who are very
particular about their work, think boy
ought to know instinctively how work
ought to be performed. They have for
gotten that they had to learn how to do
things. To plow field Us it ought to be
plowed may seem simple thing to a man
who has done that kind Of work for years,
until he has become so familiar with it
that he has to give it no special thought,
but the novice finds many things to learn.
He has seen it done, but when he comes to
do it himself he finds that seeing thing
done is one thing, and doing 1t is another
The man who is wise will not find fault
with boy for failure Of this kind, but he
will exercise patience, and explain to him
wherein he failed. He will not treat the
boy as if he were man, or ought to know
how to do such things as well rs man
who has had experience, but he will make
a pupil of him, and lead him on, step by
step, until he has overcome each difficulty.
BY taking pains to explain things to him
he will arouse an interest in the work.
and the boy will be anxious for further
knowledge.
The way to make men Of boys is to treat
them as you would man in many ways.
Show them that you do not hold their
opinions in contempt. Encourage them to
act and think for themselves, and let them
feel that you trust them. 1t gives boy
very manly feeling to know that a grown
up man considers his opinion worth some-
thing, and has faith in his ability to act
without constant supervision. Put re-.
sponsibility on boys shoulders and he
will be proud Of it, and generally do him
self credit in the way he carries it,
When your boy earns something, don't
put it all in your pocket and none in his
Let him have spending money. You can
advise him how to use it, but don't make
him feel that all his work has been for
some one else, and that he is to earn, but
not spend. Talk with him about using
money fooishly and sensibly, and show
him wherein he can lay out his spending
money to advantage, and he will lot be
likely to squander "A great deal of it.
He will doubtless make foolish ventures
he would be peculiar boy if he did not
but these will be useful lessons to him.
A boy can see wherein he does a foolish
thing rs well as man can, and he gener-
ally profits by his mistakes. I have great
faith in the boys. Treat them like men
and they will not dsappoint you in grow
ing up to be men.
