man bulted the back door, put the cat

the "FatinitZa" waltz, danced up to
the clock-sheif. and, pouring out
what he supposed to be his hair ferti-
lizer, he mopped i. all over his scalp,
and stirred it well in around the roots
OF his little hedge of hair at the back
If his neck.

coincidence, was nearly the same

George was dancing about the
room, the pillow now dangling by a

something that looked like sheet

Light Sockets.

A new socket for incandes-ent
Amps has been brought out. which is
flexible and will admit of the lamp
globe being turned in that direction
or another. A spring coil forms one
of the connections to the lamp base
and takes the place of the thread on
the regular socket Another novelty
about the spring is sharp point on
the end which prevents Unauthorized
persons from removing the lamp by
pressing open the spring, and allows
only person carrying a cover for this
point TO tamper with the socket.

The two teachers who win first prizes in
the HERALD's public school teachers contest
will have glorious privilege in the oppor-
tunity to go to the Worlds Fair free of cost
and visit the Pennsylvania building. This
magnificent structure has many attractions
within its walls In the Philadelphia room
the City Councils have placed on exhibition
under the charge of Mr. Oliveier, the owner
the celebrated mosaic picture, THE Discovery
of the Remains of st. Mark" and the paint
ing, "The Twelve Brides of Venice" The
first is the work Of Luigi Taddei, Roman
artist, and is a most remarkable work of art.
1t weighs 200 pounds, and contains over
l,OOO,OOOpi pieces. One can hardly believe that
the features of the 10 persons represented in
the picture, the brilliant colorings and deli
cate shadings, could be so beautifully done in
mosaic. General De Cesnola, the noted
explorer of the ruins at Cyprus, and head of
the Art Museum in Central Park, New York,
has written letter praising it in the highest
terms. The Twelve Brides of Venice" was
painted by the late Giacoma Giacomelli, of
Venice, and represents the ancient Marian
Feast, held in commemoration of the re-
capture of II noble Venetian ladies from the
sea rovers of Trieste, who on St. Marks eve,
A. d. 923, seized them in the church on their
bridal day and bore them away. Both these
works of art are much admired, and it is to
be regretted that some of the lady COM
missioners from Pennsylvania are obiecting
to their being exhibited in the State building
on the ground that they are the works of
foreign artists. Executive Commissioner
Farquhar accepted them from Philadelphia,
and is determined that they shall stay in the
State building.

GIVE THEM WORK.
An Excellent Opportunity for the Borough
Authorities

MI A2ANSAAehb opportunity ioE Aile boEOukh
Authorities.
AT no time for years have the authorities
of this borough had better opportunity to
do something that will directly benefit all
classes of people, and if they will take tho
hint and act promptly they can soon make
record showing that they are elected by and
for the people,
Our town now has on its hands more un-
employed labor than it has had since the
days of the last strike and the situation is
certainly distressing. There are men, strong,
able and anxious to work, but unable to earn
a cent, and in many instances the families
are sorely in need of the necessaries of life.
The cause of this is the continued idle
ness of three of the largest collieries in the
district. The picks and shovels of hundreds
of men are rusting and the tables in their
homes are becoming more scant every day.
Those who have an insight of the situation
say it is distressing, even critical, and relief
must soon come from some source.
The borough authorities can come to the
rescue. Fortunately there are a few thou
sand dollars in the treasury and much of it
has been designed for street work and other
improvements. Let it be spent now. The
borough can stand several hundred dollars
worth of improvements at the present time
and a large force of unemployed labor is in
need of an opportunity to secure bread and
butter.
Many streets can stand repair, scores of
pavements and cutters are not as required by
the ordinances several thoroughfares are
unopened, and there are many other sources
for like employment at hand.
The idea is not to break open the locks of
the borough treasury and allow the gold to
flow to the masses who would snatch up the
pieces and fritter them away in extravaganza
and debauches. Far from it. The plan is to
put in operation all work that is required for
the benefit of the borough and give employ
ment at fair wages to men who are willing to
work and need it for the support of their
families.
No reasonable man can object to this.
Borough improvements, it is true, cost money;
but it is more expensive not to have them.
Bad streets and bad pavements have cost this
borough thousands of dollars for damages,
and imperfect culverts and other sources of
drainage have caused both the taxpayers and
borough authorities many sleepless nights.
Then again the money spent for this work
will not go out of town. 1t will go into the
pockets of these poor, distressed, unemployed
men thence into the pockets of the store
keepers; from there into the pockets of the
property owners and then back into the
borough treasury again as taxes and other
payments,
The idea is to lessen the strain of the
present stagnation by causing a circulation of
the money now lying idle in the borough
treasury.
Let the borough fathers give this matter
their serious consideration at once, They
will reach the conclusion that it is time for
making borough Improvements.

Exercises For Junior Endeavorers.

Word hunts" are delightful exercises
for the juniors Ask them to see how
many passages they can find with the
word ''faith" in them, for instance. Have
them copy out the passages neatly in
small notebooks and bring them to the
meeting Let each one report how many
he has found and call upon the one hav-
ing the largest number TO read his list.
The lists may then be compared and
completed. A similar exercise, but one
that is of special value, is search for
the names and titles which are applied
to Jesus. This exercise. as used recently
in band of young girls, was. the means
of awakening in them a new interest in
Bible study among them and especially
teaching them to appreciate somewhat
the beauties of the poetical and meta
phorical description Of Christs character
and reign.--Young Peoples Standard.
