A Bows Luck.

The Norrisown (Pa) Herald in re-
cent issue referred among others to the fol-
lowing cases OF special interest, Tney are
their own commentary. Mr.. Samuel c
Nyce resides at sos Marshall street, and
holds the responsible position of journal
clerk in the Pennsylvania Legislature, at
Harrisburg. While Mr. Nyce and family
were in the country recently, his boy, aged
three years, fell and broke his leg. He re
covered, but very troublesome stiffness
set in and he could scarcely use the leg
The injured limb was rubbed several times
with St Jacobs OIL and the stiffness was
70 much reduced that the boy was able to
uae his leg freely. DR.. Knipe said it was
the use OF St. Jacobs Oil that cured the
stiffness Mr.. Nyce himself used the Great
German Remedy for toothache with good
effect, and also for sprain and pains OF
rheumatic nature, and always with good
effect. Mrs. Nyce also says she thinks the
Oil is splendid thing and she always
keeps it on hand.

In eating, drink ing and retiring, as means
OF maintaining, or restoring health No less
important is it to correct a growing tendency
to irregularity in the habit of body. The
functions of the bowels cannot be suspended
without an accompanying disturbance Of the
liver and stomach, and other sympathetic evil
dences of bodily ill being. A course of Hos
tetter's Stomach Bittors will give an impetus
to the operation of these organs, which is
manifested not only in the beneficial effects
it produces upon them, but also in more regu-
lar and active bilious secretion, and the dis
appearance of wind on the stomach and
coficky pains. The waste matter thrown of
during the process of digestion is then effectu-
ally expelled, and the system more thoroughly
purified by the channel devoted to that purpose
by nature

bipeds. The crab being covered with hard i'm
pcnCtrable shell, it is not easy to molest make
him afraid therefore he wages war in his watery
world Increasingly when once attacked. Although
tiny, he cannot be said to be devoid of understand
ing having ten legs to assist his lOcomOtion this
however avails him little, for when conquered,
he never turns his back to his enemy, starting
into bold run, but, like emany politicians during
election time, slips Off sideways There comes
time III the life of this pugnacOus fellow when the
years bring him more bone and muscle than he
can dispose of with comfort, and he finds him
self in a very tight place; his shoes pinch him
and he begins to realize the practicablity of ap-
plying to Dame Nature for more room or house
in proportion to his increasing size. Nature
slowly responds to the CALL but in her own good
time provides n new home, so that the enter
prising little creature does not wander about
homeless, but is provided for suitably as was the
old sailor, who dropped his rheumatism and
crabbedncss when he applied the Great German
Remedy, ST. JACOBS OIL. This last, however,
may sound rather fshy to the skeptical reader,
and to such we would reply in language too plain
to be misunderstoOd-in words illustrating facts
that even the waves of time cannot wash away
or scaly epithets affect ST. JACOBS OIL to-day
has rendered the lives and homes of myriads of
sufferers brighter than ever the electric light can,
which people pause to admire along the way. Still
more happily served than the old sailor was an

The scavenger Question.

An official notice given in the News re-
quests proprietors OF stores and occupants
of houses to see that their trash, garbage,
ETC., is placed In barrels aud boxes conven-
i-nt for removal by the seaveDger. There
is a difficulty, however, in the way Of a
rigid compliance with this order, which lies
IN the fact that boxes and barrels placed in
the lanes are stolen. The scavenger carts
ass along the streets and lanes and the
driver emDties ell the barrels and boxes OF
trash he may find exposed, and replaces
them on the sidewalk or at the
entrance to the gate. But they
are not allowed TO remain there long, as
they are regarded by the boys as
common property, and are seized and
rolled off. Tue custom of stealing empty
barrels and boxes wherever they may be
found seems to be general 10 the communi-
ty, and is INDUCED in not only by the rough
street arabs anu gamins, but by the sons of
respectable citizens. So universal has this
hooking" business become that neither
the boys, their parents or the pO-
lice seem to regard it as wrong. In
fact, mary look upon it as a sharp
species of fun. It Is nevertheless stealing,
and no other term can be applied to 1t, and
parents should impress this fact upon their
boys. The loss OF these D2frels Is serious
inconvenience to hOusekeepers especially,
and some measures should be adopted TO
break up tae wholesale stealing, which is
great nuisance to say the least. House
keepers are put on the information docket
for not having trash deposited in proper re-
ceptacles, when they are not really TO blame,
for the reasons above given. A few arrests by
the police for this stea ing, and punishment
by the Mayor, will effeclullly stop the prac-
tice.
In this connection it is proper to say that
the alley ways under the bluff are greatly in
need OF thorough cleaning. Some Of them
are In a very bad condition. Specially may
be mentioned the locality foot Of Whitaker
street.

The knights TempIar.

ThSGrand Commandery Of knights Temp

Palestine COmmandeTy are making extern
siye preparations to entertain the body and

the occasion promises to be notable event.
The triennial cOnclave Of Knights Templar
OF the United States will meet in San Fran
cisco, Cal, August, 1888, and the Caliior-
MIA Knights propose to eclipse anything that
has ever been done 10 this country in the
way o. entertaining. It is said that they
will make the railroad fare for Knights
TempIar to attend the conclave almost
nothing, and the preparations that are
being made for entertaining the Knights
while in San Francisco are simply grand.
Judging from what we have heard, and the
magnificent style in which they entertained
at the last trieEnial cOnclsve IN Chicago, as
we'll as the known high standing OF Call
fOrnia knights Templar, their wealth and
unbouuded hospitality, we have no doubt
the 22d triennial conclsVe to be held in San
Francisco in August, 1888, will be enc OF the
yrsndest occasions that has ever been re-
corded on this continent.
