Eighteen glass blowers were
boarding with Gabriel Kohler last
week, and some Of them were looking for
houses. There are but few good houses in
Butler vacant at present.
AT the meeting of Council Tuesday
night, the condition Of several OF our
streets was discussed and it was decided
to do some grading on Mexican and Fair
view SITS, and to repair two other streets;
but after that was decided upon the Clerk
read a statement showing that the Treas
urer had already paid out nearly $500 more
than he had received for the general fund,
and that the outstanding warrants amount
to nearly $1,000.
The season foI mushrooms is also the
season for the Mushrooms low-born rela-
tive, the toadstool. 1t is absolutely un-
safe to eat mushrooms without testing
them properly. A peeled white onion
cooked in the pot with the toadstools
turns black. a silver spoon used to stir
cooking toad stools also turns black. If
either of these things should happon TO
the mushrooms they should be thrown
out.
If you gaze into drop of nitro-gly-
cerine by the aid of microscope you Will
discover some peculiar sights. Thousands
of fiery-eyed little creatures seem to be
rolling around each other in the hottest
kind of a contest. There are horned ami
mails with forked tongues land double
headed monsters, devouring and destroy
ing myriads of other forms. 1t would ap-
pear as if this single drop contained fero-
cious animals enough to destroy all life on
a thousand miles square. e.-Franklin Nelcs.
That is an absolutely safe statement to
make Nobody will attempt to prove or
disprove it.
Rev. Russell Ii. Conwell, the Phila.
preacher lecturer, who has. appeared be-
fore Butler audi ences several times, has
new lecture with a novel title, Five mil
lion dollars for the Face of the Moon" 1t
is dissertation on advertising, not only
the advertising of business. but the adyer-
tising Of everything good. 1t is another
form of the injunction to let your light
shine Mr.. Conwell believes in the use
fulness, not to say duty, of advertising,
and has some very wise and useful ideas
on the practical side of the subject, both
as to business and phianthrophy. The
title of the lecture arose from the remark
once made by patent medicine proprie-
tor, Of pious and charitable disposition,
who, having made vast fortune by ad
vertiSing, exclaimed that ne would give
So, 900, 600 for the privilege OF having this
inscription placed on the face Of the moon,
''F. G. and A. L., which being explained
ment: "Find good and advertise it." In
the course OF his address Mr.. Conwell said
that advertising should always be associ-
ated with some good thing that the people
like. Then he told this story, which he
declared is unquestionably true: Zone OF
the ablest members Of Congress when he
began his political career went to the
manager Of newspaper and paid him so
much a week to print his name every day
in connection with the report in the paper
Of some good thing. He kept that up toI
four years, and at the end of that timo he
was 70 well and favorably known in his
town that he got the Congressional nom
ination unanimously, was elected and he
may remain in Congress as long as he lives
If he so desires" Mr.. Conwell said that
he would not give the name Of the Con-
gresham, but repeated that he had heard
the story from such source that he pro-
nounced it absolutely true.
