A Needed precaution.

In the present general use of electro
city one thing is absolutely esse ntial,
and that is safety in its use, says the
Boston Globe. There is little doubt
that the great fire in this city arose
from electricity. When wires are led
into buildings they should be rendered
absolutely safe. They are not safe now.
They are, if insulated at all, only
slightly covered with parafined cotton
or rubber, which a too heavy current
burns of. The arc light wires, II the
Insulation is slightly worn, are espec-
tally dangerous.
There is a method by which tele-
graph, telephone, electric light, call
box or electric time wires can be rem
dered safe. This method Ia TO run them
through what is known as an interior
electrical conduit, made of absolutely
~tireproof material. Being inside this
hreproof tube the wires might fuse and
still there would be no danger.
The idea has just come into existence
in New York, and after severe tests mas
been oundt to answer the purpose. II
should be adopted In Boston before the
other costly fire adds emphasis TO an
'AAson already taught.

teers, from 1861 to 1863. He was wounu.
ed twice-once in the left hip and once
in the neck. The latter wound, he sup.
posed, was inflicted By spent ball. The
surgeons, however, failed to discover any
trace OF a ball and said the man was
mistaken. he was awarded pension
of s4 per month for the wound in the hip
but nothing for the one in the neck.
He always felt a pain in his neck, and
eventually lost all power of speech and
became phycical wreck. In 1883 DR..
N. G. Scudder examined the man and
gave it as his opinion that bsll or some
such substance was lodged at the root of
the larnyx. Mr. Finn died in 1885.
In order to enable the widow to obtain
an increase of pension, if possible, Dr.
Scudder and Justice Bowers, of this city,
made an examination of Mr.. Finn's neck
on January 10, 1S9o-fYe years after bis
death-and found imbcdded therein 8
button shaped rivet Of iron, which he had
carried for twenty-five years, and which
was the Immediate cause of his death.

When Dancing is Wrong.

Ifyou are wise, if you hope that the
future holds much for you, you will
learn 10 be particular as to your partner in
dancing. Dance With no man with whom
you have only ball room acquaintance,
and if you really are anxious to gain the
respect of the people, in your own set,
you will number among partners only
your own brothers, or some very intimate
friends.

harm iu dancing. There isn't. But

It is q pleasure to go to Moffattsville
always and witness the orderly methods
of q man who understands his business,
and is fearless and faithful in the dis
charge of his duty, Everything inside
the building has an air of busy work,
and all seem earnest and interested and
working for purpose, and it could not
well be otherwise with the earnest exam
pile set them. This school is great
blessing toi,Ais community, and radiates
its good influences for miles around, and
deserves and should receive the cordial
support Of every head of family within
its radius. Not many boys and girls can
go away from home to receive higher
education, and here it has been brought
to them and offered at minimum cost,
and ono OF the great advantages is that
it is removed from all the temptations of
town life, and the pupils ere still under
home influences and home restraints.
And We take an especial pleasure in not
ing the fact that the good people of this
section, knowing that they have good
thing, are sturdily standing to the sup.
port of the teacher, and besides having
built him good house in the past, have
recently added a room for the primary
classes, and have installed an admirable
teacher in the person of Miss Kate Hol.
leman, Of Walhalla, who is ably second
ing the principal in his work. We spent.
the night with the principal and his ex-
cellent wife, and we discussed schools
and school methods until a.late hour, and
after good nights rest and an excellent
breakfast ne left, feeling that the school
interests of those children are in safe
hands.
