Since so much attention has been given
to the "Blue Law" the Mauch Chunk Dem
ocrat publishes an old English law in regard
to suicides, which has never been repealed,
and suggest that the advocates of the
"Bme Law" in reference to Sunday, should
also sec that this law in regard to suiciues
should be vigorously enforced. The law is
as follows: "Any person taking his or her
life, the Coroner shall take possession OF
the body, and hold an inquest thereon, re-
fusng to deliver possession to the relatives
or friends. Following the inquest, the
body shall be impaled in the public high
way at a cross roads where it shall remain
for space of twenty-four hours. From
thence it shall be taken and inferred in at
unknown and unmarked grave"

The First Sign

OF failing health, whether in the form of
Night Sweats and Nervousness, OF in q
sense Of General WEAKNESS and Loss of
Appetite, should suggest kthe use of
Ayers sarsaparilla. This preparation
is most effective for giving tone and
strength to the enfeebled system, pro-
noting the digestion and assimilation Of
food, restoring the nervous forces to
their normal condition, and for purify
ing, enriching, and vitalizing the blood.

The Wyoming Democrat, published at
Tunkhannock, referring to the Auditors
report of the finances of the borough
as advertised in its columns, says;
1t is well worthy of careful consider
alton when we take into account the fact
that taxpayers are now burdened with
taxes aggregating little over 8 per cent
on the assessed valuation of their property,
which is more than the interest paid by
the general government on some classes OF
its bonds. At this rate a man would be-
come bankrupt in time who depended upon
interest upon bonds for his income. No
community can be prosperous that is bur
dened with such high taxes, and there Gel
tainly must be leaks some where, and per
haps in many places, to fasten upon the
property holders such an exorbitant taA
rate.
This is nearly one-fourth mole than tht
people are taxed in this community.
