The Moon and Science.

The moon is our near est neighbor, and we
ought to be on very intimate terms with it,
but for some reason it seems to be neglect
ed by astronomers. Were it not for the at
tention given to it by farmers, and a few
others who are pretty well up in moon lore,
it might as well be marked off the list OF
heavenly bodies. 1858
Not long since scientist bobbed up and
offered to prove that the moon had nothing
to do with the tides. lie will have a hard
time beating that into the heads of seaman
and those who have grown up near tide
water. If the moon doesn't raise the tides
there must be a remarkable coincidence in
their movements
Farmers used to put n great deal of de
pendence in the moon. They planted crops
built worm fence, put on skingle and
clapboard roofs, killed hogs, hung meat
cut timber, chopped weeds and traded
horses according to its Pittsburg
Commercial Gazette

Worthy of Note,

A general rule for taking medicines, as
given by an authority, is: Bitter toncs, us
quinine, should be taken half an hour be-
fore meals; iron. oils and acids after eating,
that they may be digested with the food.
Iodide of potassium is always given after
meals; it is said then to be less liable to
disorder the digestion.
Warm sweet oil or melted vaseline is
very soothing to painful bunion.
Some of the old fashioned nervines that
our grandmothers used were hops, lady's
slippers, skull cap, pulsatilla, prince's
pine, marshmallow, gravel plant stone
root, watermelon seeds and pumpkin
seeds, and they are just as good today as
ever.

Interesting RemaSks on the History and
symptoms of the So Called Grip.

Interesting Remafks on the History and
symptoms of the So Called Grip.
In showing some patients to his students
recently, Professor Gerhardt, of Berlin. is
reported by The Lancet as saving: "The
morbid symptoms which we comprehend
under the collective name of influenza have
repeatedly been observed before, and sew
eral epidemics of the so called grin
those of 1917 and 1876 for instance) are on
record. Such pandemic, however, as pre-
vailed two years ago had not occurred for
generation, and we had to deal with
something quite new and unknown. 1t
came to us from the east. In May, 1889, it
broke out in Bokhara, rapidly overran
Russia in Asia, and came to St. Peters
burg in September. The disease spread
rapidly all over Europe, radiating over the
provinces from Berlin, Vienna, Paris and
London, and remaining mostly three or
four weeks, never more than two or three
months, in one place. It's course ran I'M
mistakably from east to west; from US it
went to America and then on to eastern
Asia. Now it seems to have arrived among
us again after its journey round the world
The symptoms are remarkably various.
The malady often takes an easy course and
is in general not very dangerous to robust
fever which rapidly abates. Existing dis
eases, such as pulmonary tuberculosis and
diseases of the heart, often take an unusu-
ally rapid and fatal course under the influ-
ence of influenza. Influenza must be reck-
oned among the acute infectious diseases,
and its contagious character may be re-
garded as proved. The spread of the dis
ease is uncommonly rapid, and the time of
incubation is often less than twenty-four
hours, never more than two or three days.
The question whether one attack protects
the patient against future ones cannot be
definitely answered; some immunity there
must be, for the epidemic never lasts very
long. Children are seldom attacked, suck
fngs never. Some people are temporarily
insusceptible. Doctors, for instance, have
often fallen i'll at the end of the epidemic.
The age from fifteen to twenty-five seems
to be the most susceptible No specific
against the disease is known: the doctor
must therefore confine himself to symp-
tomato treatment" .'t.Iif

A question frequently asked is, How
shall the invitation to an afternoon recep-
ton be distinguished from that of the af-
ternoon tea, kettledrum or Coffee" Good
Housekeeping answers the question as fol-
lows: The proper form for reception in
vitation is an engraved visiting card hav-
ing merely the date and hours written in
the lower left hand corner. The words lat

superfuous here, and the card reads as
follows:

Because of the shortness of the afternoon

the sake of avoiding a crush when the re-

of the cards are written from three to SIX

advantage gained is that it has the effect

The Photograph in Teaching Deaf ,Iutes

pear huTeS.
1t has recently been stated that Superin-
tendent johnson, of the Deaf and Dumb in
stitute at indianapolis, has been making
experiments with the monograph and be-
heves that in connection with it he can
teach the majority of the deaf mutes under
his charge to talk. He finds that the in
strument concentrates the sound at the
drum of the ear in such a way that many
of the pupils otherwise deaf are enabled to
hear. He intends to carry the experiments
further, and thinks the photograph may
become means of teaching the use of their
voices to some mutes whose inability to
speak is due to the fact that they have
never heard speech. lie tried the phono-
graph with twenty-seven boys and twenty
nine girls. OF these, only three girls were
unable to hear something. Twenty boys
and girls could hear instrumental music.
while eleven boys and fifteen girls could
distinguish spoken words. OF the fifty-six
whose hearing was tested, twenty-eight
could hear better with the left ear and
fourteen with the right, while eleven heard
alike in both.

Judge Cyrus /. Pershing, of Schuyl-
kill county, was renominated for Judge
by the convention of that county on
Monday. Judge Pershing is a native OF
this county and is well known to many
of our older citizens. We clip the fol-
lowing from the Philadelphia Times.
The Democratic convention of Schuyl-
kill county has very properly placed
Cyrus L. Pershing in nomination for a
third term as president Judge in that dis
trict. Nominated at first by the Repub-
Hcans and supported by the best element
Of all parties, he has shown himself in
the highest and best sense of the term a
non partisan judge and should have been
accorded a unanimous reelection. Par
tisan considerations seems to have pre-
vailed with the SchuylkiI Republicans
this year, however, and without waiting
to see what action the Democrats would
take in the matter they nominated Dis
uict Attorney Koch for the position.
Now that Pershing has been placed in
nomination by the Democrats he is GER
tain to receive the votes OF a large class
of business Republicans and to be elect
ed by an overwhelming majority, a com
pliment that Will be as creditable to the
voters of SchuylkilI county as it will be
deserved by Judge Pershing.

Twelve Thousand Dead.

SYDNEY, July IA report reached
here from Timor that there mad been a
volcanic eruption on the island of Sangir,
one of the Philippine group, and that
most of the inhabitants have been killed.
\ native from the Talantse Islands, who
landed at Selangen four weeks ago,
brought remarkable story that several
other natives had just returned from a
voyage near Sangir. They had intended
to land on the island, but were prevent
ed by the sight Of mountains belching
forth smoke and fire. They reported
that the ''whole island was on fire.
The water along the coast was full, they
said, Of half burned wreckage, pieces of
houses and charred bodies.
The whole population is estimated at
about 10000, seemed to have been
swept into the sea or burned, as not a
living soul was to be seen. Streams of
lava were still flowing toward the Shore
showing that the activity of the volcanoes
had not abated.
The steamship Chatterthun, from
China to Sydney, brought a singular
story into port with her yesterday.
Near Sangir, her captain said, she passed
through miles of debris, dissimilar to
anything he had before seen at sea.
Poles and sides OF huts, most of them
charred and broken, were mingled with
such utensils as the natives of the Philip
pines use in cooking. Many unrecog-
nizable objects resembling charred hu-
man trunk. were also seen. Articles of
head dress in the wreckage
were identified by a sailor who
had lived in the Philippines as peculiar
to the natives of Sangir and the nearby
islands OF the Philippine grouD.
The ship was passing through the
wreckage from 10 a. NJ. to 1:3O 7. NJ.
These reports are partially credited here,
although they are believed to have been
exaggerated. The formation Of Sangir
is volcanic and several islands are known
TO have threatened activity during the
last ten months.

THE Philadelphia Lcdaer RepubIican),
says Of the Democratic nominee forpres,
ident
"Grover Cleveland, in words and deeds
had shown himself to his countrymen
as man and statesman worthy their
respect, confidence and affection. He
has long tended for purity in politics,
for integrity in administration, for lofty
ideas Of government, and with rare wis
dom, simplicity and dignity, and shaped
to good ends his life as a citizen and as
a public servant. The consequence was
such a universal demand for his candi-
dacy by the most thoughtful, respectable
masses of the Democracy that the most
aggressive opposition OF those who were
unlike him in character and purposes
was overcome, and his nomination
achieved in accordance with the popular
will and power

SENATOR VOORHEES,, in his recent
speech in the Senate, discussing the
Homestead affair, told the following
truths: Labor riots such as this were
unknown while there was q tariff for
revenue only. They had been made
possible by protection. You (the Re
publicans) had made these poor people
who had laid down their lives on the
Monongahela believe you were protecting
them. Never was there a greater lie.
You (the Republican party had said the
Carnegies must be protected against for
eign competition in order to enable them
to pay higher wages to their laborers.
Had they done it? The Republican
party had given them % per cent. on
iron; more than 20 per cent. on steel and
instead Of paying higher wages Mr. Car
negie told his men he would have to in
sist on from Il to 40 per cent. lower
wages. We have two excellent peniten-
tiaries in Indiana, and whenever Pinker-
ton men pour into our state to discharge
the duties Of peace officers and to make
arrests, we have a cell for every one of
them The same can he said Of the
great state ul New York.

The operation Is nearly new, this being
the third time il has ever been performed
in the United States.
OF late the breathing of the animal
has been badly affected, and an external
examination disclosed the left arytcnoid
lying dormant in the upper part Of the
windpipe, partially closing it, causing a
miniature strangulation. The horse
was thrown and chloroformed, when the
windpipe was cut open, a siX-inch in
cision being made just back OF the
throat strap. A hand was inserted and
the offending member entirely removed.
After this was accomplished piece Of
rubber hose was inserted for a drainage
tube, the incision was sewed up and
the animal Is now all right.

THE Ways and Means committee has

THE Ways and Means committee has
agreed to recommend the adjournment
of Congress on next Monday, July %.
The necessary work of the session is so
far advanced that it is probable that the
date fixed upon will be agreed to in the
House and concurred in by the Senate.
As long as Senate and House shall be at
political cross-purposes there can be no
legislation touching matters in regard to
which the two great parties are in
thorough disagreement. They can,
however, agree to disagree. and go to
the country on their records.
The House has not attempted a COM
plete revision of the tariff because it
would have been a lost labor; but it has
gone far enough to indicate the line of
reform and amendment which may be
expected when the Democratic party
shall have regained complete control of
Congress.

THE following circular has just been
issued by Secretory Worman, of the
Democratic societies ofPennsyvania:
democratic Societies, clubs of Penn
syIvania:
''You are called upon now for thor
ough organization. You have important
work TO perform. The Chicago conyen-
ton did its work well, and the Pcnnsyl-
vania delegates are to be commended
for their firm stand in favor Of Grover
Cleveland's nomination for the high
Office of president He had been thor
oughly tried and came up to the full
standard Of JeffersOnian Democracy.
Both Cleveland and Stevenson are men
of unquestioned integrity. The ticket
is a strong one, and by active and ener-
getic effort will be triumphantly elected
in November next. 1t is therefore ex-
pected that members of these societies
and clubs will do their duty earnestly
and manfully. Important matters for
the welfare of the nation are to be con-
sidered in the nigh future, and Grover
Cleveland has the intellect, the wisdom
and the courage to propose such meas
urcs as will result in the greatest good to
the greatest number of the people.
Among the important measures to be
considered Is the tariff. Tariff for rev
enue to meet the expenses Of the gov
ernment IS just, but high protective
tariff is an unjust tax upon the people
benefits but the few. The predictions of
the circulars issued to the people in the
past by the Democratic Society Of Penn
sylvania have been more than verified.
Never in the history of the republic was
there period when general recurrence
to constitutional and therefore to Demo
cratic principles was more necessary than
at present. Reunite Democratic socie-
ties, consult the active members OF the
party, and organize at once. After the
election Of officers the secretary will for
ward to Major John d. Woman, gene
eral secretary, Harrisburg, Pa, the
names and addresses of all officers.

A Year Of Great CrOps.

BoIEs CITY, Idaho, July 16.-Never
since the settlement Of Idaho have there
been such enormous crops as during the
present season. The products Of grass
and grain has been wonderful. This Is
the result of a change in the climate,
produced by the multiplication of irri-
eating canals, which mOisten Agreat
extent Of country and create humid
atmosphere. it Is believed by men Of
experience, who have lived on the arid
belt for the last forty years, that the
time Is not far distant when lands lying
far above where water can be directed
viii become arabic.
Formerly there We're no rains in June.
Last year there we're two after the Fourth
of July, and the rainy season this year
has been unusually prolonged. Colorado
had the same experience.
If the grass crop has been large there
Is use for it. For the last two winters
have been favorable for stock raising,
and the number on hand Is estimated at
rearly double that of two years ago. \
majority of stock men are not permitting
their animals TO run at large TO provide
for themselves all the winter months, as
a few years ago, but are keeping them
up and feeding them. Besides this they
have much improved III quality.
