Mr. and Mrs Harry Gebhart en-
tertained few friends last Tuesday
evening, in honor OF their sister Mrs
Rjdlinger Of Elizabethtown, Pa, who

her relatives. The evening was mer-
rily passed with music and refresh

IA report seems to have gained
ground that Il e Hoffman is contem-
plating remoiug from Phillipsburg in
the near future. We are pleased to
state that he has no such intention,
but will continue to do business at the
old stand on the same good business
principles, We meant to make this
statement last week but through an
oversight it was neglected.
The base ball tournament at Nor
ton this week proved to be a grand
fraud, the PhiIlipsburg nine being the
only one that appeared on the scene.
Ga Tuesday, picked up nine played
a scrub game with our boys, the game
resulting in score Of 2G to 5 in favor
of Phillipsburg. The club found the
Norton people very kind and hospit-
able however, and received only the
most cordial treatment from them.
This week we commence "Wo.
mans Column, and we hope it will
conduce to the pleasure and profit Of
our many readers. The edltress is as
yet too modest to give her name to
the public, but this much we may say,
that it is conducted by a lady entirely
outside Of our family, 80 We are not
responsible for anything it may con.
tain Of wrong, and we know there will
DO none, nor are we entitled to the
credit Of the good things with which
we are confident it will abound.

A popULIsT friend tell us that he
did not like fusion with the democrats
very well, and felt very kindly to-
wards the Dispatch for lts denuncia-
ton of the joint ticket put up by the
populists and democrats, but when
the Dispatch failed tocondemn fusion
between democrats and republicans, a
deal in which the democrats we're moi
consulted, he smelt great big rat,
and says that every democrat and
populist IN his township will vote the
populist and democratic ticket
straight.

The only structures In Japan which
seem 20 be earthquake proof are the
pagodas, which are erected before the
temples. There are many pagodas
which are seven or eight hundred
yesSs old and as solid as when first
built. There Is n reason for this. and
II lies In their construction. A pa
CODA Is practically a framework Of
heavy timbers which start from
tial structure. but 1t Is rendered still
more stable by n peculiar device. In
side the framework and suspended
from the apex is long. heavy halk
of timber two feet thick or more. This
hangs from one end. and tC the other
end are bolted. at each of the four
sides, four more heavy timbcrs. and
II the pagoda be very lofty still more
timbers are added on to these. The
whole forms an enormous pendulum
which reaches 10 within six inches
of the ground. When the shock Of
nm earthquake rocks the pagoda the
pendulum swings I'm unison and keeps
the center OF gravity always at the
base OF the framework. Consequent
ly, the equilibrium OF the pagoda is
never disturbed, and this Is the ex-
planation of the great age of many of
them, when from their height one
would suppose them to he peculiarly
susceptible to the effect of an earth.

Liquor Drinking in Two Countries

II has generally been supposed that
hard times" lead o. hard drinking,
but the British statistics do not bear
out that supposition very losincnlly
Thus In 1890, the amount expended for
consumption Of liquors per capita was
about $3.50, while In 1894 the sum per
capita had fallen to S17.75 On the
other hand, the figures for the decade
show that while drinking has decrcas
ed to some extent since the flush" year
OF 1890. the general tendency through
the past ten years has been to spend
more for liquor; as In 1885 the per
capita expenditures was but SlG.25; so
that In spite of the hard times the
drinking Is greater than II was ten
years ago. In the United States. while
in the hard times the consumption Of
some kinds Of liquors. such as distilled
spirits from fruit, decreased. the gen.
eral tendency was in the direction Of
increased drinking, so that not only do
the figures FOR 1893 show largely in.
creased consumption over the figures
for 1884, but the per capita consump.
ton is also larger than IL was in 1892.
