Now the lambkin woos the katydid
And the young calf learns TO Diat;
Ana tho dudelet sheds his checkered pants
Aud gets a new spring hat;
And the poet thaws his frozen muse
And writes of rhyme and reason;
And-hushi you crazy idiot.
You're six months out ol season.
Don't become disheartened. Wen
get some old fashioned weather yet.
Twenty -four heavy draught horses that
were shipped from Berks county Pennsyl-
vania, to Newarc, New Jersey. last week,
died Of suffocation on the railroad. The
animals were shipped in close box cars,
with no other ventilation than single
inca ot npr1ing a. door
gave. The criminal stupidity of the case
calls for comment and punishment.
While some boys werr "skylarking" in
the Plate Glass Works, last Saturday
morning, one of them. u son of Michael
Gallagher was pushed against revolving
ay-wheel The side of his head came in
contact with the wheel and in an instant
almost the entire scalp was torn off. He
was made unconscious and at first was
thought to be dead, but came to aud is re
covering.
Tobacco dealers in the large cities de
clare the law prohibiting the sale of cigar
cites to minors has no apparent influence
on the amount of cigarettes sold. The
sales.arc greatly on the increase and the
inference is that in some way all who
want cigarettes, whether they are minors
or not get them. There seems to be no
dispute about the evil results of cigarette
smoking by immature boys.
1t is stated that Columbus (ohio)
girl, suffering from La Grippe, sneezed
5000 times an hour Come oil, come off.
1t can't be done. II is a physical impos-
siblity. If she sneeZed once every sec
ond she would only sneeze 5000 times,
and even that number would kill an ordi-
nary man. We don't know abOut it af-
fecting an Ohio girl, though. An Ohio
girl is pretty tough.
A Mjllerstown man lately signed the
following aEd authorized its publication:
'''rhis is To certify that / made false and
slanderous statements about Miss Alice
Swarthout at II public dance some time ago
at Millerstown, Butler county, Pa; that |
had no reason for making the statements,
or any of them, and that said statements
were false. !, therefore, take this oppor-
tunity of correcting each of said statements
as feel that / am bound to do in truth
and in justice"
The brewers of Pennsylvania are up
in arms against the tax law which was
passed by the Legislature in 1885 and
which was so modified at the last session
of the Legislature as to exempt all manu-
featuring corporations except brewing
companies. When the act was first pass
ed in 1885 it imposed tax of three mills
on every manufacturing corporation in
Pennsylvania. In 1889, through the
pressure brought to bear by manuiactur
ing corporations, the law was amended
as described above.
-'I WISH" said an old citizen, chat
everybody knew what grand. thing var
nish is for burn. 1t would save mighty
sight of needless suffering. If any one
who is burned will Immediately apply
coating of common varnish to the injured
parts, in will not only allay the pain al
IN ost instantly, but will cause it to heal mp
without scar" The important thing in
treating burn is to keep it from the air,
and the varnish furnishes q new and i'm
pervi Gus coating for the skin which has
been injured.
