Col. James Rogers, who died sudden
ly at Pancoast, Pa, on July 5th, 1894,
was a native of Elk county and was
born on the 10th day OF September,
1893, being at the time of his death 6l
years OF age. The Col, was twice mar
ried, his first wife being Elizabeth
Eddings, of Elk Co. A son, Walter,
was the fruit Of this marriage. Walter
died at East Brady in February, 1891.
The Coils first wife died In the seven
ties. His second wife, Eliza Mcconnell,
who survives him, was daughter OF
Jas. Mcconnell, Of Beechwoods. She
bore him four children, three girls and
one boy: only the girls are now living.
The Col. was Mason and was mem
ber Of Ridgway lodge for 27 years; this
lodge had charge Of the funeral. Quite
a number of the Masonic fraternity
attended the funeral from Reynoldsville,
Dubois and Falls Creek. Religious
services were held in the Chapel at
Pancoast, being presided over by Rev.
r. Lewis Kelley, Of Reynodsville, who
delivered an excellent and appropriate
sermon. The Col. was we'll and favora-
bly, known to most of the people OF Elk
county and with the citizens OF WASH
ington and Winslow townships and
Reynoldsyille. He was a genial, whole
souled, friendly man. A few hours
spent In his company at any time was
indeed pleasure. His mind was well
stored with many amusing incidents
that transpired in old Elk and jefferson
counties. Although not graduate of
any college, he was bright and fluent
talker and well booked in all the affairs
Of our great country. He was man of
extremely exemplary habits, sober and
Industrious. In my long acquaintance
with him of nearly 20 years never
heard him utter an oath. The latch
string on his door hung always on the
outside. No tramp, or any one in need,
was ever turned away with an empty
stomach. To do you favor whether
he was sick or well, was one of his
greatest pleasures. To offer him pay
was to insult him: II you thanked him
he felt that he was well paid. II you
did not do so he would show his char
liable disposition by saying, so he has
forgotten it; he is good fellow" The
Col. and the writer of this article both
landed at Pancoast about the same
time. He came ON 9th Of July, 1875; l
arrived on the lst of July, and many
were the pleasant hours we spent to-
gether. will miss him perhaps more
than any other man. He first started
at Pancoast in the merchandise busi-
ness. His big heart compelled him to
soon abandon the business. He could
not say no, and when he had given all
away he quit. Notwithstanding this
experience he again, some years later,
embarked in the same business at Pan
coast and once more failed. To his
honor and credit be it said, while he
was robbed of his own he paid all his
debts to cent. He was kind and
loving husband, an affectionate father
and as neighbor he had no superior
and but few equals. His life was as
spotless as his death was painless. His
soul is now up in heaven, away from the
trials, trouble and tribulation of this
world, and hope when our time comes
to go that we may be as we'll prepared
to meet our Maker as our old, kind and
loving friend, Col. Rogers.

Table Manners In Argentina,

We encamped near swamp" says
a gentleman, describing a meal he had
with some cart drivers in South Amer
lea, 'and supped ON sliced pumpkins
boiled with bits Of meat and seasoned
with salt. The meal was served in
genuine pampa fashion. One iron spoon
and two cows horns split in halves
were passed around the group, the mem
bers Of which squatted upon their
launches and freely helped themselves
from the kettle. Even in this most I'M
civilized form of satisfying hunger
there is a peculiar etiquette which the
most lowly person Invariably observes.
Each member of the company in turn
dips his spoon, or horn, into the center
of the stew and draws it in a direct
line toward him, never allowing it to de-
viate to the right or left. By observing
this rule each person eats without in
torfering with his neighbor. Being
ignorant Of this custom, l dipped my
horn into the mess at random and fshed
about for some Of the nice bits. My
companions regarded this horrid breach
of politeness with scowls Of impotence.
They declared with some warmth to
the cook the foreigners did not know
how to eat. apologized as we'll as l
could and endeayored thereafter to eat
according to gaucho etiquette. New

Curios About Resniration.

In each respiration an adult of the
human species inhales one pint of air.
A healthy man will respire Is to 20
times per minute, OF, say, 10000 times
day; q child, 2J to IS times per min
ute. While standing, the adult average
respiration is 22 times per minute; ly-
ing down, ID times. The superficial
area of the lungs that is, of their
alveolar averages 200 square
yards. The amount of air respired each
day is about 10, 600 quarts.
The amount Of oxygen absorbed in
the same length Of time is 500 liters, or
about IA grams. The amount of car
bonic acid expired in "a hours is esti-
mated at 511.5 grams. Two-thirds of
the oxygen absorbed in "a hours is TAX
en- in during the 10 hours from 6 p.
m. to 6 a. IN. three-fifths of the total
being thrown off during the day. While
this is going on the pulmonary surface
is throwing off $50 grams of water in
the shape Of vapor. The heart sends
500 quarts of blood through the lungs
every hour, or about 5000 quarts daily.
The duration of inspiration is five
twelfths, of expiration seven-twelfths,
of the whole respiratory act.-St. Louis

THE TEMPERAMENTS.
The Fourfold Classification That Was Made
Two Thousand Years Ago.

It is interesting to find that so thor
oughly- scientific a man as Professor
William Preyer has adopted the four
fold classification OF temperaments
made nearly 2,000 years namely,
the choleric, sanguine, melancholy and
Emphatic. The existence of one or
the other of these temperaments may
be discerned, he says IN his work on
"The Infant Mind very early in the
great majority Of children-in the sec
ond quarter of the first year, beyond
doubt. Nearly every one who has
written about temperaments has got up
a classification Of his own. Galen had
nine, Haycock gave six, Graham
Brown seven, and others have got down
as low as two. Modern writers use the
word nervous for choleric, and bilious
for melanchclic temperament. With
these verbal notifications, the old clas-
|sification seems to answer all practical
purposes, and individuals can build up
combinations as needed
Hutchinson defines temperament as
the sum Of the physical peculiarities Of
a man exclusive of his tendency to
disease. This is not very satisfac-
tory, though perhaps temperament is
thing little too vague to be satisfacto-
rily defined. In modern terms it may
be said to be the peculiar way in which
the individual reacts to the stimuli of
his environment There is no doubt
that one class of persons reacts quickly
and easily, expanding energy profusely
and often needlessly in their life work;
Others react hopefully and work buoy
antly, yet with less waste. We can
thus distinguish the nervous, the san
guine, the melancholic, etc. A capac-
ity to recognize and appreciate the i'm
portance of temperament used to be con
sidered part of sound medical train
ing. It has been too much neglected in
our pursuit of minutie with micro
scopes and test tubes. Our teachers of
practical medicine might we'll revive
its study. Medical Record.

> Place For Wealthy People Who Desire
Comfortable Incidence.

Comfortable 1ndOlence.
Washington is rapidly becoming a
favorite place of residence for people
who have made fortunes elsewhere, and
who are devoting the remainder of their
lives to having a good time in a quiet
way. There is large colony of such
families, and they contribute enormous
1y to the general stock Of elegant and
comfortable Incidence for which the
city is noted. Then there are the re-
tired army and navy officers. Their
name is legion, and Washington is their
favorite place to live. You see them in
great numbers in the clubs, on the
thoroughfares, in society. Nor must
the widows be overlooked. There are
more widows in Washington than in
any other city in this country, size for
size. The widows of public men, Of
army and navy officers, of private citi-
zens in all ranks Of life, gravitate to
the Capital City as the pleasantest place
they know Of to pass the autumn Of life.
The diplomatic corps comprises sever
al hundred more or less idle and fashion
able men and women. Literary and
scientific men, especially those enjoying
incomes and Independence from inherit
ed or other sources, are numerous i'll
Washington. Always the city contains
thousands Of visitors attracted by the
peculiar interest which attaches to the
seat Of government.
Is it any wonder that we have here an
ease loving and an ease enjoying popu~
lation? Are you surprised that Wash
ington laziness has become proverbial
throughout the country? Do you mar
vel that our streets and avenues are rial
toes in which comfortableness, fashion,
superfciality, even insincerity, are con-
stantly displayed?
The street life Of Washington is al
ways interesting. The good dressing
gives an air of elegance to the thgough-
fares, which, with their famous shade
trees and pavements smooth and clean as
floor, are themselves elegant. The
number of noted men and beautiful
women to be seen in any given walk or
drive adds to the charm of the scene.
The bicycles, numbered literally by thou
sands, add the spice Of rapidity and
whirl to q picture that might otherwise
lack somewhat Of action.-Wa shington

Peg TaukardS,

The pegging OF marking of drinking
cups was introduced by Sc Dunstan to
check the Incorporate habits of the
times by preventing one man from tax
ing larger draft tlnan his companions.
But the device proved the means of in
creasing the evil it was intended to
remedy for, refining upon St. Dunstan S
plan, the most absteEnious were required
to drink precisely to a peg or pin,
whether they could soberly take such a
quantity of liquor or not. To the use
OF such cups may be traced the origin
Of many Of our popular phrases. When
a person is much elated, we will say,
He is in merry pin, :" and HE is
peg too low when he is not in good
spirits. On the same principle we talk
of taking man Gown a peg" when
we would check fo1wardness. -Sala S

Battles of the Euture.

Writers on military science unite in
claiming that future battles will begin
with series of hot skirmishes along
the front. These skirmishes will grad
ually increase in heat and the number
of combatants, re-enforcements being
sent according to circumstances, until
the entire front is involved. Artillery
will be used as far as possible, but aft
er the battle is fully under way little
use can be made of cavalry save in out
fanking. The day of charges in wars is
