whom fresh hands were hardly wanted.

lHcrOiSm at Home.

How useless our lives seem to us
sometimes, How we long for IN oppor-
tunity to perform some great action!
We become tired of the routine of home
life, and imagine we would be far hap
pier in other scenes. we think of life's
great battlefield and wish to be heroes.
We think of the good we might do if
our lot had been cast in other scenes.
We forget that the world bestows no
titles as noble as father, mother, sister,
or brother. In the sacred precincts of
home we have many chances of hero
ism. The daily acts of self-denial for
the good of Il loved one, the gentle
word of soothing for anothers trouble,
care for the sick, may all seem as moth
ing; yet vino can tell the good they
may accomplish? Our slightest woru
may have an influence over another
for good or evil. We are daily sowing
the seed which will bring forth some
sort of harvest. Well will it be for us
if the harvest will be one we will be
proud to garner. If some one in that
dear home can look back in after years
and, as he tenderly utters our name.

A Sample question.

Gathered ut breakfast table recent
ly were half Il dozen of what might be
called "model Christians" One was
the president Of the young mems soci-
ety in one OF our largest metropolitan
churches; another, lady, was proml-
nent in Christian Enueavor circles;
still another had been for years teacher
of Il large Bible class, and the rest were
all church members and active III
church work.
The "president' startled everybody
by rsking, "Whatiis the meaning OF the
word 'Jerusalem"' OF course, every.
body ut the table knew that salem.
meant peace. But what did "Jeru,
mean: The Bible class teacher cN-
claimed, "I'vc STUFFED no other book,
and Pm sure don't know the mean
ing of the word '.jcrusalenI, and she
sprang up TO find her Teachers Bible
and hunt up the meaning of the word.
Not one ut the table knew it, and yet
that word, how often it Is III our
thoughts, on our tongues.
We don't propose here to save the
interested reader from consulting his
Bible Dictionary or Teachers Bible to
look it up he will remember ii.
Another question came up At the
same table which puzzled the literary
members Of the circle, one OF which
had been reading Rasselas. When did
its author, DIR. Johnson, live: One of
those present had an impression that
he lived in the time of George III, but
had to go to the cyclopedia to he sure
that she was right.
Most Of us have great deal of gen.
eral knowledge, of impressions about
things, very vague impressions. Isn't
it a gooI use of time TO reduce our
knowledge 10 particulars? to bring our
impressions within certain definite
outlide? to know the exact meaning OF
the terms we li>e? Perhaps that is what
these long summer days are given Us
for.

Rugs and Carpets.

TO be sure, large rug costs more
than carpet for the same room; but ii
is certainly cheaper in the end, and it
will last a lifetime. Those who really
cannot afford such purchase can have
carpeting made into a rug with quite the
effect of one piece. 1t should be finish
ed with a border, and if the corners are
inclined to curl they should be weight
ed and lined with burlaps for Il short
distance. a velvet rug made in this
way may be so perfectly matched and
sewed that it Will be impossible to de-
tect the seams. If the floor is suitable,
several small rugs may be used though
the effect is not so good.-Good House

the peculiar formation of the roof of
his mouth it is highly probable that
no other person in the world can
approach his unique performance.
When you ''listen to his mocking Bird"
you hear the real bird

tunity to see that he uses no device or
instrument in his whistling.
The second entertainment of the
course will be a lecture by DR..
Thomas Dixon, Dec. 8, Dr. Dixon
is said to be absolutely the greatest
orator now on the platform. His
subject is "Back bone.
The other three, Cation, Elliott and
Beck are all excellent beyond anything
we have had in previous courses.
This is not padded course, consist
Ing of two or three good lectures with
cheap talent sandwiched between.

nearly two hundred dollars more than
any previous course.

A Comet Nearing the Earth.

Professor Lewis Boss, of the Dud-
ley Observatory, finds from calcula-
tons made that the comet in Andro-
media, discovered by Holmes of No
vember 6, is very probably Identical
with Biela's periodic comet, which has
not certainly been recognized since
1852. This confirms the suspicion
telegraphed from Berlin by Professor
Berberich some days ago.
Professor Boss thinks there is like
ly to be very close approach be
tween the comet and the earth on the
morning of November 28, in case the
supposed identity between the comets
OF Holmes and Bella proves to be q
fact.
1t is probable that the comet will
rapidly grow in brightness and thai
within two weeks it will appear many
times larger than the full moon. Nc
really accurate calculations as to tht
nearness Of approach Between thl
comet and the earth on November aS
can be made until a much create
number Of observations have beer
procured. The comet can now b'
seen in small telescopes.

A Shamokin Constable Murdered and
Thrown into Creek.

Tohn Graehf, constable of Coal
Township, was murdered during last
night and his body found in the creek
uear the Long Bridge, three miles
east of this place, early Sunday morning
by some people on the way to church.
Whether he was slam for revenge or
robbery is not yet known, but the
preliminary inquire indicates that one
of these theories is the correct one.
That the fatal ball sped from am
bush,is indicated by the fact that it
entered behind the left jaw and made
its exit between the eyes. GraeG
must have dropped IN his tracks with
out knowing what struck him, and his
murderers than dragged the body to
the creek and threw it in to make
their work double sure. A jury has
been empaneled by the Coroner, but
no testimony has been taken yet, and
there seems now to be but little hope
Of clearing up the mystery.
Three years ago Graeff had a
warrant for the arrest of John
Yocombonis, Polander, charged
with felony. In attempting to serve
the document he met with violent
resistance, and finally, in self-defence,
was compelled to use his revolver.
His aim was fatal and Yocombonis
fell with ball through his heart as he
was rushing upon the officer, mur
derously brandlshing a club. Graeff
surrendered himself to the authorities
and was promptly acquitted. These
events are now recalled to establish
the theory that his assassination may
have been dictat ed by vendetta
Yocombonis' friends having at the
time made threats.
Tie other theory, that the murder
was prompted by robbery, proceeds on
the ground that Graeff was agent and
collector for an installment house,
and at times, especially directly after
pay day, was known to receive a
large amount of money in that sec.
ton of the country. The murdered
man was about 40 years of age and
highly esteemed, and his violent tax
ing off has created intense excite
ment in the community.
