NEWSY NOTES.
WILL WALKS.

In the hope of being able to dispense
with walters woman has invented
table which will wait on ITSELF The ta-
BILE is round, with space ten inches wide
for the plates, cups, etc. Inside this cir
Gle there is revolving disk, raised about
two inches upon which the food is placed.
By turning in any direction, may have
the bl cad, butter, olives or cream with
out asking or waiting for them.
Here is a valuable pointer to young
men: The best time TO choose a wife is
early in the morning; if damsel is at all
inclined to sulks and slatternly ways it
is just before breakfast. AS a general
thing woman does not get an easy tenn
per until after ten o'clock. To meet her
before that hour you would not know
her to be the same girl you met in the
parlOr in the evening. OF course there
are exceptions, but it isn't safe to take
the chances.-Ex.
The laws of the A. o. U. w. on men,
bership will be changed on October lst
so that applicants over As years of age
cannot join the order, thus cutting down
the limit five years, as it is at present so.
The Supreme Lodge has also decided to
establish relief fund which shall con-
sist of sum equal to 81 for each and ev-
cry workman degree member in good
standing upon the Both of June, and shall
be raised by each grand lodge prior to
the 30th day of December of each year.
Here is some good seasonable advice
from the jamestown, Pa, Sentinel:
During the school days parents should
be very careful how they speak of
teachers before children. If there is any
fault to be found with teacher by par
ents, it should be talked of in private
and not in the hearing of the children.
They are wonderful imitators, aud il
they hear anything of the kind, they
very naturally will do the same many
times, injuring both the teacher and pu-
pills, but the pupils most. Teachers, as a
rule, are competent, or they would not
be employed. They have great respon-
sibility on their shoulders, and parents
should do all in their power to help them,
instead of to hinder. The school year
has just begun, and it would be well to
weigh these subjects carefully, cooper
ate with the teachers, visit the schools,
and encourage both teachers and pupils
in their work. The result will be good
work and better progress"

were passed by the Tionesta w. G. T.
u, at their last meeting on the death
Of Mrs Sarah A. Sloan:
Whereas, God, in his al wise prov.
idence, has removed by the hand Of
death, our dear sister, Mrs Sarah A.
Sloan, therefore,
Resolved, That while we bow in
submission to the will of Him, who
doeth all things we'll, we realize in
the death of our dear sister, that we
part with one Of our most faithful,
earnest workers, and have lost a
staunch friend and supporter in the
temperance cause, and that though
she is no longer with us, the fruits of
her labor remain as a living monu.
ment to her name, and that the mem.
ory of her pure life shall stimulate US
to greater exertion in the cause we so
much love.
ResOLUed, That We sincerely sympa.
thize with the bereaved husband and
children, and pray that God may
overrule this bereavement, to His
glory and the advancement of His
Kingdom.
Resolued, That copy of these res.
olutions be sent to the family of the
deceased and entered upon the minu.

HARD TIMES PAST.

The country probably never before ex-
perienced such hard panic with so little
general effect on business, and the coun-
try has never been in as good condition
as it is in to day. The demand for arti-
cles of known purity an quality has been
steadily increasing instead of decreasing.
So it is with the rye whiskies bottled by
Max Klein. The public know that Silver
Age, Duquesue and Bear Creek ryes are
the finest in the country. They know
that doctors recommend them; that as a
stimulant they are unsurpassed. They
are for sale by all first class hotels end

Perhaps some of our readers would
like to know in what respect Cham ber-
lain's Cough Remedy is better than any
other. We will tell you. When this
Remedy is taken as soon as a cold has
been contracted, and before it has become
settled in the system, it will counteract
the effect of the cold and greatly lessen
it's severity, and it is the only remedy
that will do this. 1t acts in perfect har-
mony with nature and aids nature in re-
lieving the lungs, opening the secretions,
liquetving the mucus and causing its
expulsion from the air cells of the lungs
and restoring the system to a strong and
healthy condition. No other remedy in
the market possesses these remarkable
properties. No other will cure a cold so
quickly. For sale by Siggins & Mason.
