James Johnston, the man whose back
was broken last summer by being thrown
from hand car on the Beech Greek rail-
road, died on Saturday at his home, near
Kyler's mill. Johnston was buried by
the township overseers of the poor. The
circumstances attending the burial are
noteworthy on account of the difficulties
attending it. Johnston's house is ON the
right hand of Moshannon creek, in a
wild, lonely spot, remote from other
houses and almost inaccessible.
The only approach to it is by narrow,
rickety foot bridge which spans the
creek, which ON Saturday was swollen
by the recent rains to a raging torrent.
The coffin had to be carried across the
bridge, and the task, after several at
tempts, was accomplished by making a
harness of straps fastened to each end of
the coffin and buckled around the shoul-
ders of two men, who by clinging to the
single handrail succeeded in getting
across, although the frail bridge swayed
and sank with their weight until the
swift current splashed over it.
After the body was placed in the cof-
fin the men started back. They found
that with the additional weight of the
corpse tie bridge would not bear them,
and, after several Intellectual attempts
to carry it over, they finally got it over
by rigging harness to the stoutest man,
who then dragged it over with much
difficulty and peril.
There was no minister present, no
mourners and no funeral services were
held over the poor fellows body.-Phila-
delphia Letter.

The Land of nlood1ess Revolutions.

The recent revolution in Brazil is an
other instance of the peculiar character
of the government changes in the great
South American republic, and the
strange thing about them is that revo-
luton follows revolution always with
out bloodshed. The late Dom Pedro alb
dicated and went into banishment with
out war; the president who succeeded
him, and who undertook unsuccessfully
to play the part of dictator, yielded to
indignant popular opinion without she'd
ding blood, and now another govern
ment has been set up, and so far the in
ternal troubles have caused no blood
shed.-Forum.

The Australian ballot law may not ac-
complish all that some people expect but
1T cannot fail to greatly embarrass the
work of the old line ticket peddler and
ward striker. The state prints the
tickets and allows none to be distribu-
ted on the outside. The voter must re-
ceive his ballot from sworn officer.
After receiving it he must go into booth
or closet where no one can See him and
there prepare it himself. This may not
put an end to bribery but it will 60 a
long way towards that end. The man
who would offer a bribe can never be
sure the goods are delivered. 1t will
put an end to the abominable system of
ticket fixing. The grand old method too
of filling voters full of beer and whiskey.
preparing their ballots and marching
them up to the polls like 80 many sheep
will get set back. Bulldozing and
coercion will give way to reason and
moral suasion. OF course the bosses
will find some way to get around some
of the provisions but they cannot get
around them all or at least not all at one
time and loop holes, if any are found, can
be patched up by the next legislature.

An Ancient Fl Dorado.

On the identical spot where King Sol
omon procured ''golddust, peacocks and
monkeys" syndicate with SIS, ,OO0, 900
capital stock issued and ten stamp
mill erected, has just pounded out $55,-
900. Mount Ophir, of scriptural re-
nown, is close by. The old rocks, which
were too low grade for King Solomon's
reduction processes, are being ground
up and they average half an ounce to
the ton. This gold field of Solomon's,
which has been idle all of the centuries
until now, is on the Malay peninsula.
The people who have gone in to de-
velop it have had to cut seven miles of
road through the jungle and clear sixty
miles of river. They are just beginning
to realize on their investment. The
company with the big capital has a con-
cession ON twenty square miles of this
gold field. The formation is black
slate. A shaft sunk 100 feet on the lode
has uncovered enough ore to keep the
mill going year. The ore will yield
two ounces to the ton. In one place on
the concession there is hill $50 feet
high and half a mile long.
The company has tunneled into this
hill about half way from the bottom and
iounu Oro ranging Irom seven penny
weights to seven ounces of gold The
reef varies in width from two to nine
feet. Even the loose rocks scattered
about on the hillside yield half an ounce
of gold to the ton. The superintendent
said to the American consul recently:
81 did not think there was anything of
this kind so extensive in the world.
Wherever you try you find gold" Raut
is the modern name of the ancient ell do.

BouIanger Souvenirs Pawned.

A curious result of the decline and
fall of General Boulanger has been
brought to light in the public pawn Off
ces. These state supported establish
ments, called generally monts de piete,
have been inundated of late with busts
and medallions of the defunct general.
The pledges in marble, plaster of paris
or bronze have been put in the clou by
poor enthusiasts, who in the days of
Boulanger's brief glory desired to have
a memento before them of him whom
they deemed to be the coming man. -
One branch Office in the Montmartre-
Clignancourt district, where M. Bou-
LANCER was particularly popular, is said
to have nineteen busts of the departed
agitator.-London News.

A sleep walking Sunday school reache

A young lady of this place who is
treasurer of a mission band in one of our
Sunday schools, and who had about
five dollars of the bands money in her
possession, quietly performed feat the
other night that was quite dangerous.
The lady referred to arose at late hour,
dressed herself, went to the bureau
where she had placed the five dollars
and took it to little room in the house
which the family did not occupy Gath
ering together few old skirts she wrap
ped the money up in them and then se-
curely tied it with string and placed it
in dark, hidden corner.
After this was accomplished she went
into her brothers room, took his loaded
revolver and started for the yard It is
not known just how long she was out of
doors, but the next morning the revolver
was found in barrel at the rear of the
lot. When the revolver was discovered
in the barrel it dawned upon the young
lady that perhaps some person had been
in the house and taken her mission
money, and she quickly went to the
bureau where she had the money con-
cealed. On reaching the drawer she
found that it had disappeared. A thor
ough search was given and the money
found in the place above mentioned

Hunting with Trained Bald Eagles.

An Indian boy belonging to the Sioux
tribe has pair of pets which are not
only strange and interesting, but are
useful as we'll These are two large bald
eagles.
The young Indians are fond of hunt
ing, but are not allowed to own or carry
guns, and the result is that they are
compelled to use the bow and arrow,
which they use with great expertness.
The boy shot an old eagle and wounded
it. 1t few to its nest, and he followed
until he saw where the home of the bird
was. He then killed the wounded bird
and waited until its mate appeared and
also killed it.
Climbing to the nest he found two
young ones, which he took home with
him and began course of training
which has resulted in his having the
birds SO fully under control that they
come and go at his command. He takes
them out, and when he sights any quar-
ry he turns his eagles loose, after fasten-
ing their beaks SO that they cannot eat
the animal, and the birds Immediately
give chase and bring down the prey.
The eagles are now about year and a
half old, and are large and strong enough
to bring down fawn.
The boy is the most successful hunter
of the tribe, and never goes out without
bringing home some game, from a rab-
bit to deer. The officers at this place
want the eagles, and have offered the
boy what probably appeared to him to
be fabulous sums for them, but he stead
lily refuses all offers.-Cor. Boston Globe

PROMIsEs 10 PAY.
Paper Money should tie Promises to Ro-
ceiNe. Not prnmises TO pnY.

Paper Money should He Promises to Ro-
ceive, Not Promises to Pay.
IL occurs to us that Mr. IIorr over
shoots the mark when he says, as he
does in the New York Tribune. "all
forms Of paper money must be, OF
necessity. simply promises TO pay"
In our Judgment he fails to comprc-
hend the nature of money or to under
stand the constitutional conditions up
on which it is based
There was no promise 10 pay" on
the first greenbaclSs issued, and vet
they were money" as much 50
as any form Of silver money this
because money" does not consist Of
the fabric il is made Of II it did, then
there would be no use of stamping any
thing upon t. 1t would be already i'm
bued with this quality, and would be
50 distinguished in any form.
Gold and silver are not money in
their native state, no matter how valu-
able They are simply a pro iuct Of
nature, and any promise 10 pay"
without the authority Of law would
make them rothing more than a COM
modify. But give them the authority
OF law-the stamp of the government
declaring them to be moncy-and the
question is az once settled. The same
declaration on q paper fabric would be
equally authoritative as an cmbodi-
ment of the money quality There is
no more occasion for stamping
promise 10 pay" in something else on
the one than the other The fiat Of
the law Is equally potent ana has never
made any invidious distinction 10
declarative form, although, as matter
Of use, it may have selected one in
preience TO the other for money pur-
poses
But thee is nothing obligatory or
mandatory as 90 that There is no
provision In the constitution which de-
termines as 20 what fabric money shall
be made or and therefore the hypoth-
esis that ''all forms Of paper money
must be. Of necessity, simply promises
to paw is fallacious and untenabie-
