A little seven year-old daughter. OF ii.
c. Frick the millionaire coal and coke
king of Pittsburg, died at the Carnegi
cottage at Cresson, on Wednesday. The
chiId's death is supposed TO have been
caused by swallowing pin four years ago
At the time the child suffered no annoy
ancc, and II was not until the winter OF
1889 that any trouble resulted. She fire.
quently complained of pain in her side,
and finally an abcess formed. The pin
came out having been nearly two years
in her body. Since that time the child has
been an almost constant sufferer. The
best medical skill i'm the country was con-
suited, but despite every effort her decline
was gradual. The family took her to
CresSon with the hope that the invigOr-
ating mountain air might work change
in her condition. but it proved unavailing.
The erection of marble is the last work
of respect to the memory of departed
friends, and is a custom which has been
followed from the earliest ages of an
tiquity. For many years j. Wilkinson Il
Son have been in the marble business in
EbensburS and through their energy and
honorable dealings, they have built for
themselves a reputation for doing their
work in a most artistic manner. Their
work is an ornament TO the town as well as
credit to themselves. We are giving
them no more notoriety than they
deserve, and TO prove our assertion, go TO
their establishment and see for yourself
They take pleasure in showing their work,
whether you wish to purchase or not
They have on exhibition at their works
two carloads of monuments and head
stones, and I'm April and May will receive
two carloads more. They will then have
a large assortment of the latest styles for
customers to select from. They have
arrangements made with wholesale gran
ite dealers so that they can fill all orders
for granite monuments and headstones in
a short time and as cheap as can be done
anywhere. They buy their stock in such
large quantities that they defy competi-
tiOn. They also have the agency for the
Champion Iron Company and are prepared
TO furnish all kinds of fencing or anything
in iron. Persons wishing TO purchase any
thing in their line of business would do
well TO give them call before leaving their
order with any other manufacturer, as
they have as fine, if not the finest stock of
marble that ever came to Western Penn
sylvania Give them a trial and you can
depend upon getting good job at Il fair
price.

A Short Lines LonR Name.

Some little railroads have large and i'm
posing names as the Post has heretofore
pointed out. They probably synomize the
vast hopes Of their projectors which are
never realized. There is a midget of a
road in this state, which, while il trans
acts very good business, is only 81 miles
long. 1t has "A very lengthy cognomen,
however. 1t is called the Cresson, Clear

Railroade. 1t is an independent line, but
a connection of the Pennsylvania, and pas

AbOut YOur Health.

Take care of your health, but do not take care of it too much, just enough. Because winter is coming do not swathe yourself in fannels till life becomes a burden to you, and you feel like an Eskimo eating q tallow candle in his snow hut.
 If you want to keep well, Dr. Edward Smith says you should do your severest work in the early part of the day and get plenty of sleep before midnight. No man has right to work more hours than will leave him time for rest and amusement More than this is slow suicide, and he who would go through the world at his best must divide his time between work and play. The sav- ages from whom we are descended never did any work at all except what was necessary to feed themselves, and they knew little disease and had no doctors. In leaving savagery we have left behind far too much that was good.
 What we lost most of all when we left barbarism was fresh air. It is a medi- cine the like of which is not found in this universe. If mankind could live out in tents for a generation or two, sleeping under the skies, consumption and lung troubles would vanish. Babies would

MEXICAN RECIPROCITY.

It is welcome news that Mexico is ready and willing to enter into reel procity treaty with the United States. The only articles tor which they desire free entry into our ports are coffee and hides. TheIr present exports of these amount annually to S5,0OO,OOO.
 We have many producers of other necessaries who would be glad to find free entry for their products into Mexi- co, and from the statements of Minister Ryan, who has been cunferring with Secretary Blaine, there is good reason to believe that Mexico will agree to sub stantial concessions in favor of certain United States products, and it also ap- pears that there is sincere desire on the part of the Mexican govssRment to promote friendly relations and free commercial intercourse with the United States.

Why They Are Skeptics.

An editorial in The Christian Union says that mankind in our time is skeptical because this is an analytical age Its method is the scientific one, and all thinGs-facts, discoveries, the ories and theologies-must be passed through its test tube. Such an age produces students, not seers; scientists, not prophets. The Christian Union makes an unusual admission. It is that the immortality of the soul can not be proved by the scientific method. We must look elsewhere for that proof, to the vision, the intuition, the indwell- ing consciousness of man. The analytical faculty does not discover, it only tries and tests. The seers, the enthusiasts and the dreamers make the great discov- cries, and the analytical faculty tests their worth.
 .. Criticism never painted a picture; and an age which produces only critics produces no art. Criticism never discovers religious truth; and an age which produces only critics will create no religious convictions. Our critical age Is trying the creeds which past ages nave bequeathed to us, and Is finding considerable hay and straw and stubble in the inheritance. This Is a blessing, albeit to all of us q sone- what uncomfortable one; for no man enjoys the process which proves his wealth less than he thought it to be. But the critics, ,valuable as Is their service, can give us nothing new; for that we must look to the prophets Prove to us that the soul is immortal" No my friend the scientific method Is incompetent to prove that the soul is immortal The scientific method can only measure the inherent proba- bility of that vision of immortality which all the worlds prophets from the days of Job have seen and to which they have witnessed.

Yet another north pole expedition. This time it is E,iroll, a Norwegian, who will start in the spring of 1898. Peterman Land is the most northern point of Franz Josef Land. Peterman Land Ekroll will make as his first ob- jective station, meantime leaving abun- dant supply stores at place on the east coast of Spitzbergen. From Peterman Land Ekroll will steer for the north pole without delay. His idea is to make the utmost speed, which, indeed, he will need to do. The unique feature of the Ekroll plan is that the explorers will travel both by sledge and boat, Six sledges will glide over the snow and ice where such gliding is practicable. Where not, the sledges will change their form as if by magic and be turned into one large boat, into which explorers, dogs, provisions and all can be slowed, and the travellers can then row and sail the boat until land or hard ice is reached, when the boat in turn will be metamor- phoSed into the sledges again. It is quite possible that the winding up of the Nineteenth century may see the north pole reached and the mystery of it solved.

A Sketch in Black and White.

A correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch cannot sufficiently wonder at a scene which he encountered in a respect able restaurant in London, on the Strand, where the best classes of people go for their meals. While he sat at table in this leading restaurant, waiting for his order to be served, a party entered and sat down near him that almost took away his breath. Two coal black ne- groes, evidently from the United States, dressed in the height of fashion, accom- panied by two we'll dressed, good look ing white women-this was the sight. It stirred his Virginia blood to the quick, and be immediately arose to depart, but thought better of it when he saw that nobody else arose to depart or took any notice of the two couples. Then curi- osity got the upper hand and our Vir- ginian sat down to watch the sequel All the party were in high feather. The women especially were immensely amused, and the two dusky men, in order not to lose the quiet, undemOn- strative manner which is considered the swell thing in London, were frequently obliged to stuff their napkins into their mouths to kesp from breaking into the loud guffaws characteristic of their race
 The correspondent writes further:
 In London a negro can go into the finest res taurant and be served just like a white man. He can sit at any public table if he Is quiet and can pay the bill. White walters serve him without a murmur and the American darky imagines he is sitting sideways on a cloud picking harp with one hand and eating honey with the other when he Is turned loose in the English metropolis with fifty dollars in lis pockets.
