Cannphor.

The retail price OF eamphor has recently
advanced from thirty TO sixty cents q
pound. This will no doubt occasion sur
prise TO many persons, and especially TO
! those who will soon require to make email
| purchases of the drug for the purpose OF
protecting fur and wooden garments from
moths during the summer season.
The scarcity and consequent high price
of camphor is caused by the large quanti-
| ties of it which have been taken by Euro
pean governments for the manufacture of
snokeless powder and also by the the in
creasing demand for celluloid goods both
in Europe and in this country.
Previous to the invention of celluloid,
about all the uses to which camphor was
put were for preserving clothing and fur
goods against moths and in medicine.
Now the two great inventions above al
luded to are using such large quantities of
this article that the supply will probably
prove to be entirely inadequate. The
principal source of this supply is southern
Japan, and on April a plant built in this
country for extracting the gum from the
wood by improved process was shipped to
Hiogo, Japan, which some think may in
stitute revolution in preparing the drug
for commerce. This plant is composed of
stills, engines and boilers and when ship
ped at Pittsburg, Pa, weighed fifty five
tons and occupied two cars. 1t has been
enormously stated that the object of send
ing this machinery to Japan is to obviato
the necessity of bringing the wood or fiber
here, thus paying freight on much useless
material and incurring loss by evaporation.
The truth is, hover, that the camphor
wood has never to any extent been brought
to this country, the work of extracting the
gum being done in Japan, but it is put
through refining process after arrival
here. The processes in Japan are very
primiti,e indeed, and it is possible that the
machinery now going forward may be so
great an improvement that the supply of
camphor will be increased by its use. 1t
is the opionion Of those who have given
thought to the subject, however, that
some substitute will have to be found for
camphor in the manufacture Of smokeless
powder, if not in the production of cellu-
loid, as it will be impossible to pay the
high prices which the unusual de maud
creates.

Treatment of Burns.

A physician writes; Quite often l see
formulas for the treatment of burns. As |
have been burned all over my body, ex-
cepting the soles Of my feet upon which !
stood while being burnt so severely that
twelve physicians said 1 could not live,
you will see why am so interested in such
formulas. Please say from me that the
free use of soft soap upon fresh burn will
remove the fire from the flesh in less time
than it takes to write these words. If the
burn be severe, after relief from the pain
use linseed oil, and then. silt upon it wheat
-four. When this is dried hard repeat the
oil aud -four until complete covering is
obtained. Let this dry until it falls of,
and new skin will be formded without a
scar. This treatment leaves nothing more
TO be desired"

DR.. Lewis A. Sayre's Sayings.

Here are some of them from the New
York Herald:
"W Whisky cannot be considered injurious
under all circumstances. There are times
when it is useful, like castor oil, calOmel
and quinine, but it is no. beneficial as a
beverage"
Consumption can be cured. The way
to cure it is to put the patient in the noun
tains, where the air is dry, and keep him
away from the doctor and the apothecary
shop"
There is too much medicine used in
many kinds of disease
Insanity, l should say, is increasing,
and the explanation is to be found in the
way in which we live. Men rush to secure
millions when they ought to be satisfied
with hundreds of thousands. They like
wise rush to spend their money and then
worry TO meet their financial engage
ments.'
IF a person keeps his mouth shut he
will not snore. If be cannot keep it shut
in any other way he ought to tie a bandage
under his chin and over his head"
"a giggler is q fool"
''Some people are SO solemn they have
not life enough to die, and keep on earth
to curse everybody they are acquainted
with"
disappointment III love is injurious as
great grief is always harmful"
About living to be hundred years old
the doctor says this:
Everybody, under ordinary circum-
stances, ought to live to be 100 years old.
As it is, people live from eight to fifteen
years longer than their forefathers did.
They have learned how to eat and drink,
how to keep their homes ventilated and
their sewers drained, and how to generally
take better care of themselves. Still they
do not live anything like as long as they
ought, because they do not yet live as they
ought to. They have too much to do, too
much to think about aud too much care to
bear. Many are very much distressed as
younger men to know how they are going
to make sure of living. BY and by, when
their reputation is grown, they are driven
to death with the work forced upon them. .

Preservation OF Lard.

James L. Demoville, Pho, finds the
alum process for purifying lard all that can
be desired The lard is melted, little
powdered alum being stirred in; then
strained. cooled, and upon an inclined slab
rubbed briskly with muller, while q
stream of water is allowed to trickle over it.
For preserving the lard, experiments
were made besides with benzoin, with balm
of Gilead buds. storax, salicycle acid, tur-
pentine, aud tolu. The best results were
obtained by using one per cent of balsam
of tolu; the lard was white, kept well, and
had its peculiar odor well masked by the
slight but pleasant odor of the balsam.

The Girl Who Helps Her
Mother.


There are girls who paint aud girls VII
PLAY,
And girls who dance with grace
And girls who steal our hearts away
With charms of form and face.
But there's girl whom respect
Much more than any other
And as wife | shall select
The girl who helps her mother
Although it may be out of style,
She grants her mothers wishes.
Nor does she idle all the while
Her ma is washing dishes
She has a kindly, loving way
For parent, sister, brother,
She proves blessing every day,
The girl who helps her mother.
She may not read the latest trash
Nor sigh for a Irritation,
She may not care TO make a mash
Nor pine for q sensation.
Such lives as hers with grace abound
Add love for one another,
She scatters sunshine all around
This girl who helps her mother.

A Nut to Crack.

About one month ago young man
named Joe Harpster was struck on the
back of the head with a pair of brass
knucklers by footpad, knocking him
senseless, and for more than a month he
lay unconscious. a few days ago he sud
denly recovered his senses, but when he
did he was able to converse iintelligently
only in the German language. He was
born of American parents who spoke Ger
man, and that was the language he first
learned. He gave that up, however, and
learned English, using it at all times, en-
tirely forgetting his German. Now he can
remember nothing Of English. Scientists
are wrestling with the problem.

Some Jewels OF Sentiment.

Everything good comes by suffering.
Heart pangs are the price OF great
thoughts and great actions.
Heaven is not gained by a single bound,
But we build the ladder by which we
rise
From the lowly hearth to the vaulted
skies,
And we mount to its summit round by
round.
Gratitude is the fairest flower that sheds
its perfume in the heart.
What matteri Though the winds may
take
In ruthles, hold the seeds we cast,
Their needless course bloom may wake
Within some desert place at last
Van Bulow's contribution to friends $
album: 'In art, hate respectability and
respect ability"
Even the snowflake lets a shadow fall
As to the earth it softly sinks to rest.
So may the whitest, sweetest souls of all
Seem sometimes wrong to those who
know them best.
Kind words are the fragrant blossoms Of
the heart Smiles are the sunshine Of the
soul.
Though few our years may be,
1t matters not the number given
If We can feel that, like the tree,
Each year hat h found us nearer Heaven.

OF interest to Teachers.

The following letter from the Deputy
Superintendent of Public Instruction will
prove interesting to the teachers of the
county and Iii itself is explanatory. The
letter is in reply to an interrogatory from
Prof J. C. Shaw, Of Westmoreland county,
relative 10 the holding of township insti
tutes and the power of School Boards to
impose fine for non attendance:
Department Of Public Instruction, !
Harrisburg, March 6, 1890.
Mr.. J. C. Shaw, belmont, Pa: Deal
Sir-Semi-monthly district institutes are
no longer authorized to be held under
existing laws. The Act of June 25 1885,
(P. l.. page l76) prescribes 20 days oi
the schools to be closed on Saturdays
legel holidays and during the time of hold
ing the county institutes in the several
counties.
The teachers may organize district oi
local institutes if they desire to do so, but
attendance upon such meetings must be
left entirely to their own volition without
any restriction or compulsion whatever, OIL
the part of the directors or other officials
In case such district or local institutes are
organized by the teachers, they cannot
consistently be held on regular school days
interfering with the proper and Legitimate
| work of the school.
Directors have no authority to impose O
fine on teachers in any case whatever
The law simply provides for an annual
term of not less than six months, of twenty
days each, and provides for compensation
for County Institute attendance. Director:
cannot impose conditions or restrictions by
resolutions Of the Board Or otherwise, moi
authorized by the law governing theiI
official actions.
In reply to your inquiry of the 4th inst.
Very respectfully,

A NervY Boy.

An exceedingly cheeky thief made his
appearance in Boston one day recently.
He was dressed in overalls. Ho went into
the Office of life insurance company, aud,
while whistling one of the latest tunes, be-
gan to unscrew from the walls of u toilet
room on the fourth floor a mirror valued at
about 500. Fully twenty occupants of the
building saw the man at work, and every
body thought he had been hired either to
repair the glass or clean it. They did not
suspect anything was wrong until he left.
Then il was learned he was a thief

A Fortune for Somebody.

A fortune await5 the man who can make
d watchspring that wont break. Every
now and then someone comes to the front
with the claim that he has made the dis.
coyery, but all have so far failed. The
breaking Of watchsprings is largely due to
electrical influences. After II watcLspring
has been demagnetized it is less liable TO
break, OF course. Butto say that watch
spring will not break or that some will
break is nonsense.

Joseph Cook says that mans lie means
tender teens. teachable twenties, trelesS
thirties, busy forties, forceful fiities, sen-
ous sixties, sacred seventies, aching egh-
ties-shortening breath, death, the sod.
Whether early, whether late, there Is
one thing women hate; there is one thing
they all do against their wishes; there is
nothing meath the skies they so mortally
despise as TO have to 60 and wash the
blasted old dishes. They can cook and play
the host, fry potatoes, fix roast make
pudding, apple pie and cake delicious; but
they rave around like sinners, when they all
get done their dinners, aud go out to wash
the blasted old dirty dishes
Though time flies it is the man who
goes slow who keeps up with it,
