Cholera Danger Exaggerated
The American Druggist, in its cur
rent issue, gives some advice regarding
the cholera scare. 1t says:
A great many people are giving them
selves Unnecessary trouble about chol-
era. The disease is only formidable
where inadequate means exist for Crap
ping with II. Deficient and impure
water supply is the primary cause of
its origin in Asia. Dirt, ignorance and
warm weather are the principal trans
mitters of the disease. 1t may be well
enough to quarantine the low class of
immigrants that have been reaching
us from the infected districts in Russia
and Germany, or shut them out alto
gether for time. There is no sense in
people being panic stricken here. No
person need fear the cholera II he exer-
cises ordinary care In diet, cleanlin ess
and sanitary surroundings.

An Egyptian Curiosity.

In July, 1881, there was discovered
in the ancient city of Thebes, the
mummies of Egypts mightiest
Pharaohs, among them that of Rame
ses the Great. There were also found
seals, coins, statuettes, preserved food,
and few rolls of papyrus, some of
the latter being of great value, cur
losly bound together, and, notwlth-
standing the mould and mildew of
ages upon them, as easily read as if
written yesterday. A queer little book
cutitled, "a Night with Rameses H." !"
has been executed SO cleverly, that the
oxydized seal, suggestion Of mould,
antique coloring, and partially decayed
and ragged, edged papyrus carry at
once to the mind the possession of a
veritable relic from the dawn of civil
ization. Mailed to any address on re-

Deafness Can't be Cured

There is only one way to cure deaf.
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition Of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inhaned you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
ilammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out,'of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an lnfamed con.
dilion of the mucous.

President A.A M'Leod.

The Resding Railroads recent ac-
QUESTION Of the Lehigh Valley and
New Jersey Central Roads, the most
stupendous railroad deal ever consum-
mated in the world and the most
startling financial operation of the age,
Will have consequences so momentous
and far reaching as to be almost be-
yond the grasp of the average mind.
Not only docs it make the Reading
Railroad the most powerful corpo-,
alton in the United States and the
largest employers of labor on the civ
ilized globe, but it practically cons
titutes its president, A. A. Mcleod
the dictator of the anthracite coal
trade and the arbter of the fortunes
of the vast interest and industries de-
pendent upon the trade.
1t is natural that some curiosity
should be manifested regarding this
remarkable man, and that some anx.
iety should be felt as to the policy he
may be expected to pursue. Those
who know Mr.. Mcleod and those
who have closely watched the brilliant
and sagacious tactics by means oI
which he has lifted bankrupt corpor-
alton out of the slough of financial
disaster and physical decay, making il
solvent and most powerful company
will have no fear but that he will use
his vast authority cautiously, wisely
and for the public good.
No apprehension need be felt as tc
the effect of the new order of thing,
upon the prices of coal. While it i,
expected that the aggregated ne
profits of the unified Reading system
from this source will be increased
$6,ooo,ooo, neither furnace, nor
foundry, nor poor mans hearth will b>
taxed a penny to bring about this re
suit.

at the call of the Master, to enter into
that better life.
Resolced, That in her death, Our
Grange has lost a faithful member
and willing worker.
Resolved, That while our hearts 60
out in sympathy to the bereaved bro

bow in humble submission to "Him
who doeth all things we'll"

loss, our charter be draped in black
