all bear date of 1775, A bill that pur.
ports to be worth 3 pence is dated 1777,
and a 7.psnce bill bears date of 1894
He has also an extensive collection of
the state bank bills that caused SO
much trouble and confusion in the
business world years ago. Some Of
these bills bear date Of 1908. They
were issued by the bank at Morris, cor
poration of Fredericksburg. A s. bill
Of the Towauda bank has the date
worn off, and there is a 50 bill of the

fore Rev. Mr.. Miller and made known
that they wished to be married. Any
ordinary clergyman would be in di

an expert in the sign language and in I
few minutes the young people wert
made one. They made their response:

After Swearing OF

How many have taken vows Of absti-
nence with the birth Of the new year Is
perhaps hard to estimate, but we now
know that such efforts are futile against
inveterate habit, habit which has become
disease. There was time when it
would have been easy to quit, but having
neglected to do so the habit continued un-
til by the constant or frequent use Of the
poison there was forced a change in the
nervous system which made it not only
possible to drink, but necessary. Then
you could drink good deal and not seem
to get drunk, bat you also found it neces-
sary, to keep you feeling good and you
''craved liquor" because you had become
diseased. Now that swearing off does no
good and the pledge can't be kept, 20 and

THEY HAD TO BE DISCHARGED.
Jurors in First Case Tried Before Judge
Edwards Could Not Agree.

Jurors in First Case Tried Before Judge
Edwards Could Not Agree.
The jury in the first case tried be-
fore Judge Edwards failed to agree,
and had to be discharged yesterday
morning from further consideration
Of it.
Miss Bridget OMalley of Carbondale
was the plaintiff, and sho sued Frank
Carpenter to recover wage claim of
$S.75
The jury retired about noon on Mon.
day, but its members could not agree
that Carpenter should pay the $s.75.
They wrestled with the problem until
late at night, slept on it and resumed
the battle yesterday morning, but with
out result.
Miss O'Malley had four ardent cham
pions, who said she should have the
amount Of wages she claimed. Eight
jurors were confident she had received
all she was entitled TO. A compromise
was talked of, but the jurors thinking
it was a quarter sessions case, could not
agree upon the disposition of the costs.
At 10 o'clock yesterday morning the
jurors filed into court and Judge Ed
wards told them they had nothing to
say about the costs as they followed the
judgment He said the Jurors must
try and pass upon the case from the
evidence presented to them.
Tuey could not do it and at II o'clock
having so reported were discharged.

These soles or straw sandals are held on by

a point toes length from the front. Here
they meet between the two largest toes of

are used rather as a protection from slip

STREET CLEANING.
How the Work IL Done In the Great
Cities Of Europe.

From Cassell's Journal.
An ingenious Frenchman has just pub
lished a number Of valuable facts about the
street work OF Paris, the cleanest city m
the world. Every morning 2.600 male and
6O0 female scavengers. divided into l49 brig
AIDES. turn out to perform the toilet CT the
capital. The men work from am. to 4
pm. less two hours OF for meals, or ten
hours n day, earning. most Of them, from
2 shillings and pence to shillings. The
women are engaged in the morning only
and. being paid 5 pence an hour. make only
/ shilling and pence a day at the outside.
Night work IN Paris is. 1t seems. unknown
at any rate, to the regular scavengers
Should shower occur in the evening, Pe-
serves are sent out to clear away the slush
and make the streets clean again.
In our large English cities, on the other
hand. much sweeping is done about mid
night. AS with US. the Paris administrative
has direct control Of its scavenging ar
rangements, which cost f240, 900 a year. In
Vienna, where the same work is admirably
done. II is otherwise. Each town contracts
for number of years with a transport
gesellschaft, the chief carrying company,
for the cleaning of its streets In all wea-
theirs. The company finds both men and
materials in abundance, as is shown by
some statistics relating to a snow storm
Of a short time back. In one day there
were IN use twenty snow plOwS, twenty
sweeping machines, 200 two-horse wagons,
and 5000 hands. Berlin. however. is made
presentable much more cheaply than Paris.
the cost Of sweeping the streets there be-
ing only $4,000 year. This sum, again,
affords a curious contrast with that spent
in the same way by Manchester. Eight
years ago the cleansing of Cottonopolis
cost $4,000 per annum: 1t now costs double
that amount-f1S0. OO0-though, of course,
the city has not increased propo-tionately.
But 1t must not be forgotten that in our
large towns the expenditure on street
cleaning has of late years been abnormally
heavy, owing to the severe winters we have
experienced, and the consequent difficulty
in clearing away snow.
What is the cost of Londons toilet? No
statistician has yet attempted to estimate
1t, and indeed the whole subject has been
neglected. This is a pity, since there are
some wonderful figures about cleaning the
streets Of the metropolis. The most start
ling perhaps are those relating to London
bridge. 1t Is computed that about 2OO,OOO
pedestrians and 10000 vehicles cross that
structure every day. Each leaves behind
a little shoe leather or little iron-tust a
trifie. But when litter and dust are added
to these minute losses the whole fills be-
tween three and four carts The most sur
prising fact of all, however, is that the in
cessant traffic across the bridge reduces to
powder about twenty-five cubic yards of
granite every year. Where is there another
bridge the annual loss Of which Is anything
like half as much2
