he cannot answer for himself how

Any one can be arrested and fined
for abusing an animal of any kind,
making a horse pull more than il
should, or working him when the har-
ness rests upon sore spots. No one
has right to torture or abuse any liv-
ing creature, the law protects it
equally with human being, against
misuse and abuse.
Have you lost tooth, or perhaps
several, where the loss shows, and
prefer to have the i'll looking space
rather than wear Il plate ? Do you
know that DR.. Voelkler, of Selins-
grove can insert substitutes TO your
satisfaction without obliging you to
wear plate, whether you have the
roots left or not ! Ask him about it.

caught between three and four hun
dred pounds of fish, mostly carp, the
largest measuring twenty three
inches aud weighing seven pounds.

Mrs. Ellsworth Miller, of Cold
Spring, recently presented her hus-
band with triplets, two girls aud a
boy. During the last eight years
and seven months Mrs. Miller has be
come the mother of seventeen chill
dren. She has had three sets of trip
cts, three pairs of twins and two
single births. Mrs. Miller is thirty
one years old. She was born in New
York, her maiden name being Ferris.
She was married to Mr.. Miller on
Oct. 10, 1883. Eight of the seventeen
children are living Mrs. Miller has

According to an act of Assembly of
1887 there is no established fence.
Every farmer is required to fence in
his own stock, and he may use any
style of fences he chooses and
boards, posts and wire, rails or
stones, or stumps for the matter.
The law does not prescribe the style
of fence to be built along the pub
lie road and if cattle escape from
their enclosures and trespass on
fields along public road not en-
closed by fences the owner of the
cattle is responsible for any damage
they may do. The law may be
briefly summed up this way; Fence
in your own stock and let your neigh
Dor do likewise or pay the penalty.
You are not required to maintain Il
fence for any other purpose than to
enclose stock.
The man who owns the beautiful
trout rod, the bright silver reel, the
silk line, and the large assortment of
flies for fishing for trout, is anxiously
awaiting the opening of the season
on April 10Th. He will stay up all
night to be on the fishing grounds
early and will fish all day, returning
home at night with half dozen fish
and a good right arm aching badly
from his constant whipping of the
stream. The small country boy,
with the rustic rod, the cotton string
line and the old fashioned hook and
and angle worm, will saunter along
the stream after he gets his break
fast and quit at noon with couple of
dozen fine, large trout, and he won t
think he has accomplished any great
fishing performance. This is the diff
ference between the $50 outfit and
the three cent outfit 1t always was
so, and ever will be in fishing for
trout.

Value of Good Cooking.

We masculines have yet to learn that
the kitchen is the most important end of
the household. If that goes wrong, the
whole establishment is wrong. It de-
cides the health of the household. and
health settles almost everything. Heavy
bread, too great frequency of plum pud-
ding, mingling of lemonade and Gus
tards, unmasticable beef, have decided
the fate of sermons, legislative bills and
destiny Of empires. The kitchen knife
has often cut off the brightest prospects.
The kitchen gridiron has often consumed
commercial enterprise. The kitchen
kettle has kept many good man in hot
water. It will never be fully known
bow much the history of the world was
affected by good or bad cookery.-Nash-
vile Advocate.

CementinE the Russian Empire.

The car of Russia shows undoubted
sagacity in adopting the best physical
means to hold together his vast empire.
He has pushed the transcaspian military
railway southeastward until it has al
most reached the frontiers of British In
dia and China, the two powers most
likely to dispute with him the acquisition
of further dominion in Central Asia.
Having thus assured the safety of the
Russian position in the southeast, he has
undertaken a more stupendous work in
beginning the construction of an I'M
broken line of railway to connect Eu-
ropean Russia with port on the Pacific
ocean. The whole length of the Asiatic
or main Siberian line is 1890 miles.
The estimated cost is 5000, 900, 900. The
work, which is now progressing from
both ends toward the center, is to be
completed in about 10 years. There will
then be stretch of railway, all located
upon Russian territory, about 5000 miles
in length, holding European Russia and
Asiatic Russia firmly together with a
continuous band of STEEL Until the pro-
posed railway running north and south
to connect the two Americas shall have
been built there will be nothing on earth
to rival this great stretch of eastern and
western railway across the Russian en-
pire,-Omaha Bee.

Folly of HoardInC.

1t is really remarkable that so many
people in this country, who have funds
from which they might earn good rate
of interest, persist in locking up notes in
safe deposit vaults or pack them away in
old stockings. Money will earn today
large returns, with the best of real es-
tate security as first class collateral to
protect the lender, and yet great many
individuals, waiting for they know not
what, decline to take advantage Of what
Is an unusual opportunity for making
money. The currency of g country is
intended to circulate as evidence of cred
it. If it does not, it becomes absolutely
useless to everybody. In famine com
munity would be no better off if it locked
up millions of barrels Of -four than if it
had none at all. The same is precisely
true of money.-Washingt News.

Water Started These Two Fires.

No principle of natural philosophy is
more familiar than the power of water
to extinguish fire. And yet. strange to
say, water has been known to cause de-
structive fires, not by an accident, but
by direct chemical action. One case of
the kind was in large factory. A flood
caused the water to rise to pile of iron
filings, which oxidized SO rapidly that
they developed great heat and set fire
to the nearby woodwork. The building
was entirely destroyed.
Another case is still more remarkable.
Several engines were throwing water
upon burning building, and the water
found its way to another building,
which contained quicklime. The
shaking of the lime, caused of course
by the contact of the water, generated
intense heat, and the heat set fire to the
building. That was sarcasm of cir
cumstances, wasn't it?-Philadelphia

A Wow Of tAe Common Herd.

The society journal Vogue has as one
Of its correspondents an alleged member
of the -Four Hundred" who writes as
follows: what is the attraction yearly
at the horse show, which is always
damned to the doors? The horses? No.
Society in the boxes, and the people
cheerfully pay their money to be able to
gaze at the beings so far removed from
them, constituting an inner circle. 1t
was this feeling which caused Broadway
to be- choked with bowling mob on the
day of the wedding of Miss Bradley
Martin to the Earl of Craven, and it is
this same impulse which prompts the
crowds in the upper tiers at the opera
and III the orchestra stalls to spend the
time OF the intermissions in gazing
around the house at the fashionables as

yvashington's Cabin,

There are few buildings that attract
the admirers Of Washington that have
moro of interest in them than decaying
cabin which stands alone in an old pas
ture field a half mile from Berryville, in
the beautiful Shenandoah valley of Vir-
ginia.
The old cabin was the home of Wash
mgton when he was q surveyor. He
came here direct from the maternal roof
to begin the arduous and at the time
dangerous work Of surveying the lands
of Thomas, Lord Fairfax, who owned
all the northern part of Virginia under
the kings patent. The work was ardu-
GUS because of the physical aspect of the
country, then a dense wilderness, and
dangerous because of the character of
the inhabitants, who were principally
Indians or scarcely less wild trappers or
squatters upon his lordship's domain.
Washington had been selected by the
nobleman because of his belief in the
youths ability to cope with these ele-
ments early in 174s, just after the COM
pletion of his sixteenth year, his only
companion being George William Fair
fax, nephew of old Lord Thomas.
Whether these boys erected the build
ing or found it already in place history
does not state, but we'll authenticated
tradition says that they built it them
selves. That they used it for an Office,
kept their instruments there and slept
in the upper room there is ample proof.
