On Friday evening the HERALD announced
that if the people of town would sweep the
streets in front of their residences on Satur-
day Supervisor Llewellyn would start out
early that day with a force of men and
wagons to gather the dirt swept into heaps,
At an early hour next day people appeared
with brooms in hand upon every street in
the town. Supervisor Llewellyn said he
never saw such general cleaning up and it
proved two things; first, the HERALD is ex-
tensively read in all parts Of the town;
| second, the people are anxious to know how
they may help keep the town clean.
The Supervisor kept four teams and carts
and ten men on the street all day on Saturday
and from the streets east of Main street alone
forty.fve cart loads of dirt which had been
swept into heaps were carried away. The
appearance of the streets were greatly bene-
| fitted by the work.

trio car was bound westward on its first trip
from Girardville to Ashland and when it
reached the crossing near Big Mine Run a
west-bound Philadelphia & Reading miners
train ran into it.
Fortunately the motor man stopped his car
and allowed the solitary passenger, a woman,
to make her escape before the collision oc-
Cured The motor man and conductor also
escaped injury.
The electric car was picked up by the
engine and carried about thirty feet west of
the crossing before it fell to the side of the
Readings track. 1t was pretty badly
wrecked.
The cause of the collision is to be made a
subject of investigation, but it is generally
believed that the responsibility will be
placed at the door of the motor man and
conductor of the electric road. The railroad
companies have the right of way and it is a
rule of the Traction Company that when one
of its cars is approaching railroad crossing
the motor man shall slacken the speed Of his
car, and stop if necessary, to give the conduc-
! tor a chance to run ahead and see if a train is
approaching; if everything is all right the
car proceeds on the conductors signal. It is
said this preeaution was not taken this
morning.

self-Control.

1t is interesting, when one has had
his attention called particularly to
the fact to note how often a peculiar
attraction of manner which we adj
mire In some one Uf our friends Is
identical with or dependent upon q
certain sense Of well-being which Is
the outcome Of a condition of perfect
self-cOntrol. And were it not incum-
bent upon us by the laws of society,
we should do well, out of regard to
our health, to place our bodies under
the strict discipline Of our wills.
1t Is instructive In connection with
this subject to notice how completely
the body and It's various functions
may be brought under command of
the will by those who will exercise
the requisite patience. Muscles may
be brought into action which were
before unrecognized. Even the vital
functions OF the body may be affected.
There have been not few exhibitors
who could actually control the heart
beat, making their pulses noticeably
slower or faster according to their
pleasure.
The seemingly miraculous feats Of
acrobats are simply the result of con-
tinually placing particular sets of
muscles under complete control of
the will
And If we we're disposed to profit
by our Investigations, we should do
well to try and appreciate how i'm
portant, to our physical being at
least, the gaining Of complete con-
troll over our bodies may be.
The student who has before him a
difficult passage or problem must, II
he would succeed, exercise sufficient
wlll-force to place everything else In
his mind second to the task before
him.
1t is much the same in our daily
life. Multitudes of petty things
tend to make us forget our purpose.
in living, and II we are to rise above
them, we must remember to I'M
burden our minds Of the worries.
that we may have room for the
realities" We must shun excite
ment of every kind. We must live
an even, temperate life; and we can
do this easily enough II we have
gained perfect control over our.
selves. Youths Companion.

FIRE BRIGADE HORSES.
They Arc Wen Treated and Quick co.
Learn Their Duty.

They Arc Wen Treated and Quick CO.
Learn Their Duty.
A horse just entering the service of
the Metropolitan Fire Brigade re-
ceiyes no special training. He is
paired with horse which has been
at the station for some considerable
time, and understands its duty thor
oughly, and horses being quick at
learning, the stranger soon gets into
the swing.
An alarm is sounded once every
twenty-four hours, and the men do
not know IL it Is a fire or only a case
of drill until they are on their en-
CINE and ready to start.
After q, day or two the newcomer
knows what he has to do, and before
he has been there long becomes quite
excited at the sound of the bell, and
places himself alongside the pole in
stantly.
The alarm bell rings for just sixty
seconds, by which time the horses are
supposed to be harnessed and the en-
gines ready to turn out.
One thing In particular generally
strikes visitors at a fire station, and
that is the very good behavior and
friendliness Of the horses. Flremen,
drivers, and, in fact, all engaged
about the place, make 1t a point to
treat the horses well and get them ac-
customed to them,
They are most literally fed aud
carefully looked after A horse which
showed any signs of viciousness would
not be kept In the service. 1t would
be too dangerous,
Horses are never taken into the
service under four years of age. The
work which they have to perform is
very hard and as they never have
days rest, unless i'll, 1t will not be-
wondered at that they do not last
long; four or five years is about the
average.
The journey for "home" calls is
anything within two miles of tho
station, and the speed is about eight
cen miles an hour In istances Of
big fires, when all the available en-
gines have to be summoned to the
place, the distance may be nearer ten
miles than two, and as speed ia so
necessary at this time, the horses
must possess considerable amount
of staying power to accomplish what
is required of them in long distance
runs. Horses which all these re-
quirements cost money, as horse-deal-
ers know, and the contract price all
around is about 1910 each.
At the Central Station one pair OF
horses are always harnessed up ready
night and day; but in ordinary sta
tions this rule Is not enforced, al
though a pair of horses must be left
In readiness at night

What Boots,

Some one says of Charles Lambs
jokes that they were thrown off In a
spirit Of reckless fun, regardless Of
the quality or prosperity Of the sally.
He did not care a straw whether a
joke was funny enough to be laughed
at or good enough to be remembered.
On his table one day lay a copy of
Wordsworth, open at the page of con-
tents. 1t was a most slovenly
edition, and the contents, In particu-
lar, were absurdly printed. For en-
ample, the sonnet beginning,
Alas what boots the long laborious quest,

speed as

The Potato Centuries Aro.

1t has been proved beyond a doubt
that at the time Of the discovery of
America the cultivation Of the potato
was practiced with every appearance
Of ancient usage in the temperate re-
gions from Chill to New Grenade, at
attitudes varying with the latitude.
The name of the. discoverer of the
potato is unknown, but Du Candolle
sums up the history Of It's discovery
as follows:
"The potato Is Wild In Chill in a
form which is still seen In our culti-
waited plants 1t Is doubtful whether
Its natural home extends to Peru and
New Grenada; It's cultivation was
diffused before the discovery Of
America, and it was introduced In
the latter half Of the sixteenth CEN
fury into that part OF the United
States now known as Virginia and
North Carolina, and the potato was
imported into Europe first by the
Spaniards and afterward by the Eng
lish at the time of Raleigh's voyages
to Virginia"

the quill peacefully render up their
fine, bureaucratic souls to God, l
have no doubt that their spurs will
be laid on their tombs.
But have we any right to dwell so
long In q half hooking spirit on a
people Of such numerous and trust
worthy moral qualities, and who, but
for their unfortunate Incidence and
their exaggerated egotism, might be
held up as a model to other nations?
For the Portuguese are naturally
good, hospitable, honest in their
dealings, generous and brave, and we
are very certain that In the event of
any threatening Of the independence
of their country we should once more
see this heroic nation, In whom
slumbers q powerful national spirit,
rise as one man against the invader,
as In 1883 and 1909.

AN uNsELFIsH ACT.
The Unidentified Hero OF n Western
Town,


Town.
In Western city last winter, says
the Youths Companion, a fire nearly
consumed q hotel occupied almost
wholly by wealthy families, among
whom were many children. 1t was
after midnight when the alarm
startled the inmates from their sleep.
The flames rushed through the ele-
vator shaft, shutting of that way of
escape, and the electric lights went
out, adding darkness to the confusion
and horror.
One lady, widow, with a little
child, was cropping her way with him
through corridor, stlhed by the
smoke and pursued by the flames,
when in the midst of it a figure
darted to her side, took the boy in
his arms, caught her by the hand, and
led her through the smoke and danger
out of the house.
"You have saved my boy!" she cried,
"WhO are you?"
zone of the bell-boys," he said,
giving the child to her.
She was not satisfied with the an
swer and held him fast. II can't see
you, but l must know who you arel
What is your name?"
ut doesn't matter, Mrs. P" he
said. "It's just one Of the boys"
He turned quickly away in the
darkness, and still remains unknown.
Yet he knew that she had great
wealth, and would probably reward
most generously the man who had
saved her child.
Many good men have accepted fame
and fortune as the reward of noble
actions. But there is something In
the choice Of this poor hotel servant
to let the secret knowledge Of his un-
selfish deed in his own heart be his
own reward, which comes as an in
SEPARATION into our commonplace lives.
The late Prince Consort of England
once said: "The man who embodies 10
me most strongly the idea of integrity
is poor Highland gamekeeper. II
ever did a dishonorable action I
should not meet Davy's, eye. He
would know it,"
Some Of our readers may occupy
positions as humble as that OF the
bell-bOy or the poor Highlander, and
sometimes, perhaps, revolt against
their lot. They should remember
that God, now as in the days of Da-
vId, often chooses poor lad to anolnt
him and make him,a king among men.

Portuguese Characteristlos.

The men of Portugal are as fond Of
show as are the women. Their I'm
gers are nearly always loaded with
rings, and about their bodies hang
chains as thick as ropes, from which
are suspended punches of trinkets.
The Portuguese dandy is fond OF
anything that draws attention to his
much-esteemed person. Above his
snowy vest he wears a cravat OF rich
colors, and In his buttonhole full

which occurred after the stirring
scenes In and about New York.
Washington Is represented in the

fire on the enemy then advancing up
Warren street at about where St.
Mary's Cathedral now stands. For
fifty years the subject of the erection
Of monument to commemorate the
battle of Trenton has been discussed.
1t was not until May 7, 1884, when
the Trenton Battle Monument Asso-
