A Record of Hot Summers.

Says an English paper: In 627 the heat
was so great in France and Germany that
all springs dried up; water became so scarce
that many people died of thirst. In $40
work in the fields had to be given up; agri-
cultural laborers persisting in their work
were struck down in few minutes, so pow
erful was the sun. In 993 the suns rays
were so fierce that vegetation burned as
under the action of fire. In 1000 rivers
ran dry under the protracted heat; the fish
were left dry in heaps, and putrefed in Il
few hours. The stencil that ensued pro-
duced the plague. Men and animals ven
turing in the sun in the summer of 1922
fell down dying; the throat parched to ii
finder and the blood rushed to the brain.
In 1872 not only did the rivers dry up,
but the ground cracked on every side, and
became baked to the hardness of stone.
The Rhine, in Alsace, nearly dried up.
Italy was visited with terrific heat in 139;
vegetation and plants were burned up.
During the battle of Bella, in 1860, there
were more victims made by the sun than
by weapons; men fell down sunstruck in
regulars rows. In 1903 and 1904 the
Rhine, Loire and Seine ran dry Scotland
suffered particularly in 1925; men and
beasts died in scores The heat in several
French departments during the summer of
1905 was equal to that in glass furnace.
Meat could be cooked by merely exposing
it to the SUM- Not soul dare venture out
between noon and P. NJ. In 1118 many
shops had to close; the theatres never OPP
ened their doors for several months. Not
drop of water fell during six months.
In 1888 the thermometer rose to lis de-
grecs. In 1879 the heat at Bologna was
so great that great number of people were
stifed. There was not sufficient air for
the breath, and people had to take refuge
under ground. In July, 1893, the heat
became intolerable. Vegetables were burn
ed up and fruit dried upon the trees. The
furniture and woodwork in dwellinghouses
cracked and split up; meat went bad in an
hour. The rivers ran dry in several prov
inces during 1921; expedients had to be
devised for the grinding of corn. In 1922
protracted heat was accompanied by storms
and earthquakes; during the drought le-
gions of mice overran Lorraine and Alsace,
committing incalculable damage. In 1882
the heat brought about cholera in France;
twenty thousand persons fell victims to the
visitation in Paris alone. In 1851 the
thermometer marked 125 degrees in the
sun.

One or two live men in each district in

Machine. 1t has been the aim of the inventor
to construct washing machine which, unlike
its contemporaries, WOULD DO the WORK
AS WELL AS BY HAND, and in a much
shorter time, without destroying the clothes
or breaking the buttons The Atkinson
is O machine which will stand the
most rigid examination, and do all
that is claimed for it. It is simple in
construction, thereby enabling the
manufacturer to sell at price which
puts it within the reach of all. 1t is
light and durable, not liable to get out of
repair, and is easily operated. The principle
is unique and original, differing widely from
that of any machine ever designed for a sim
liar purpose. The time worn system of beat
ing, rubbing and grinding the articles to be
washed is totally ignored, and new one
founded on an established law of hydraulics,
which treats of the suction and pressure of
water and air. is substituted. n" Every
good housekeeper should examine it. 1t is a
valuable addition to articles of household
economy. Wherever sold they have given
entire satisfaction. We warrant them to be

that, though their factory was destroyed by
fire on the 22nd of July last, very large
stock of their manufactured goods was NOI
injured, and that they have made temporary
arrangements to continue to manufacture dur
ing the rebuilding of their factory, thus en-
bling them to supply the FALL TRADE with
their fertilizers as usual. A supply OF these
very popular fertilizers, comprising
zell's A. B. Phosphate, zell's Econo-

zell's Dis. Bone Phosphate,
Also Pure Dis. Ammoniated Bone

of FINK & SHORE, Littlestown, Pa, and
at W. S. MYER & BROS Warehouse, ad-
Joining their mill, Westminster, Md.
All these fertilizers have maintained their
excellent high standard for more than half
score of years, and we guarantee for them in
the future what they have done in the past.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

nYSPEPSIA-NERVousNESS.
For Dyspepsia, Nervousness, Bilious At
tacks, Headache, Costiveness, Chills and
Fevers, and all diseases of the Liver and
Stomach, J. NJ. LAROQUE'S ANTI Bill
IOUS BITTERS are decidedly the most po-
tent remedy that can be used. 1t is a purely
vegetable, faultless family medicine, and has
been manufactured at LAROQUE'S PHAR-
MACY, one of the most prominent Drug
century. Its efficiency in all forms of LIVER
DISEASE has been tested and approved by
thousands of the most prominent citizens of
Baltimore, who have used it successfully in
combating the above complaints, all of which
arise from arrangement of the liver and
disordered stomach. We therefore say to you
confidently, if you have Dyspepsia, suffer from
Sick or Nervous Headache, have .Chills, Bow
els are Constipated, or you feel generally
played out and don't care continental wheth-
err you live or die, TRY J. NJ. LAROQUE'S
ANTI BILIOUS BITTERS, and our word
for it, a single dose, taken either at night on
retiring or in the morning before breakfast,
will make you feel like a new man. If you
live in malarious section, where Chills and
Fever abound, it will be found a most effectual
remedy in guarding the system from all attack.
The price, too, is reasonable and within the
reach of all-25 cents for the Herbs in pack
age, or S1.00 for the bottle ready prepared.
Sold by all druggists.

The most wonderful geological formation,
perhaps, in the world is that recently dis
covered in the valley of the east fork of
the Yellowstone river. 1t is said to be in
horizontal layers, and the whole formation
is little more than mile in depth. The
solidfed remains of a multitude of forests
fill the entire formation throughout. Ma
ny of the trees are of large size. Some are
standing upright as they grew and many
are PROSTATE. Numerous stumps and logs
are to be found that measure four and
five feet in diameter, while one huge
trunk is described as being ten feet in d.
ameter.

There ought to be thorough course of
instruction in our public schools in the art
of shutting doors The first lesson would
inculcate the elemental and simple duty it
self. Boys and girls should be kept passing
doorway, each one opening and closing
the door for themselves, until not mothers
son or daughter of them could leave door
ajar. Then the finer features of the ac-
complishment might be introduced. There
are people who always slam a door; there
are others who hold it open, and close it
so slowly that whole procession of dis
eases, including colds in the head, catarrh,
sore throat, diphtheria, inflammation of the
lungs and the epizootic can march through.
