Bargains In Cast-oR Shoes.

From the Lewiston Journal.
Meeting the other day a gentleman who
was in search of an old shoe for making
pump washer, Mr.. Judkins, Old Orchards
octogenarian butter dealer, was led to re-
late the following: Many years ago in CEN
trail Maine a man started out to sell oil
cloth table covers throughout the country
at so cents a cover. After travelling all
day without selling one, happy thought
struck him. He would charge a dollar and
take half the pay In cast-off shoes. The
result was people imagined they were get
ting some return for their old shoes, and
there was general ransacking of attics,
and table covers went like hot cakes. But
the old shoes? Well, wherever he found
convenient hole beside the road, out of
sight, he pulled Up his cart and dumped
the lot. All the world loves a dicker-and
doesn't always get at the bargain counters
so good a trade our venerable friend has
chronicled.

THE DRINK QUESTION ABROAD.
The Rapid Increase of Beer Consump-
ton in France.

The Rapid Increase of Beer COnsump-
ton in France.
From London Truth.
Beer, all but unknown in France before
1870, now floods this country. Alcohol is
poured from distilleres, where the refuse
of teetroot, used in making sugar, is sub
stitute for grapes or malt. Beer saloons re-
place the cafes, where before the war
Frerchmen slipped coffee and eau sucree,
and met friends as in an informal DRAWN
room. Those white and gold panels of the
bygone caf. are replaced by garsh poly
chro me decorations in a psuedo-mediaeval
style. Electric light suffers no hue to be
lost to the eye. Haunting women and
booty men crowd into the beer saloons.
So-ca}led American bars are centers of
gross rov'dyism In some parts of the town
mattresses serve in the beer saloons. They
are expected to drink for the good of the
house at the cost of customers. A girl who
does not empty book after book and keep
on asking for more is thought not worth
keeping. The beer, brandy" and bitters
in terest is now too strong for any govern
ment to control it. But as the peasantry
are still sober, beer is not yet the over
ruling power that 1t Is in England. How
ever, the pace in the English direction is
rapid in provincial towns.
Does 1t not seem as If the Fates were sick
of the northern races and their militarism
and mutual bullying, and wanted to clear
them OH, using drink as the meanSI We
have now over 10000 restaurant public
houses in Paris. The restaurant has for it's
anteroom dram shop with a zinc counter,
where drains are taken standing. All the
mad houses are, as a consequence, over
crowded. New ones are called for by the
| mad doctors. AS the thirst for liquor
grows, fresh means to satisfy it are dis

FROST IN THE SOUTH.

A report from Jacksonville, Florida,
just after the recent cold snap, says /:
Commission merchants and others
in the North are sending many tele-
grams here asking if it is true that the
unmarketed Florida orange crop will
prove total loss as the result of the
recent freeze. These inquiries seem
to be prompted by the fact that some
dealers are still shipping oranges
There were some boxed oranges on
hand at the time of the frost, and
those we're not hurt. But there were
probably not 5000 boxes of them. In
some parts of the State the damage
was not so great as elsewhere. But
there are not enough good oranges
LETT to be worthy of consideration.
The fruit now going forward has been
nearly all touched by the frost.
have been pretty much all over
the orange growing parts of the State
since the frost, and have yet to see
the first grove that does not look as if
1t had been parched by fire. The
leaves on the trees are sere and yellow.
An orange grove can easily be picked
out from a long distance. The live
oaks, palmetto, cabbage, palm and
other such trees do not seem to have
been affected. AS they generally sur
round more or less the orange groves,
the yellow leaves of the latter, in com
parison with the green Of the others,
make striking contrast. In many of
these groves few oranges had been
picked. In others nearly all. The
total crop was estimated by experts at
5000, 900 boxes, hall of which had
been gathered before the frost. The
average price of these oranges to the
consumers was So box. This would
make loss of $1,000, 900 on the
1000, 900 boxes that have been spoil
ed by the frost. One half of this loss
falls on the growers, the other half on
the dealers and the transportation
companies. have met number of
growers who offered to sell the fruit
on the trees at S cents box. But
tLey we're unable to sell even at that
rate, though | did hear of few con
tracts of that kind at Monteliar."
Mr.. c. &. Trench, of Bloomsburg.
was among those who suffered loss.
He has large orange orchards, and
between one and two thousand boxes
of fruit were frozen. He says, how
ever, that the losses will not be nearly
so heavy as at first reported. Recent
advices received by him are to the
effect that not nearly so many trees
were killed as at first supposed. Mr..
Trench spends the winter in Florida
looking after his property, and but
recently returned from there.

AT TIE NORMAL.

The first lecture in the course for
1895 was that delivered on the evening
of January 10th by Major II. G. Dane.
The rain overhead and the uncertain
footing prevented many outside Of
the school from attending. Still the
attendance was all that might have
been anticipated under the very un
favorable circumstances. The students
marched into the auditorium punctu
ally at the stated time and, taking
seats, they of themselves constituted
quite an audience. After listening to
a choice selection rendered by the
Normal Orchestra, which was heartily
applauded, Professor Welsh intro
duced the speaker of the evening in
a few complimentary remarks about
the fighting qualities Of the Danes.
The speaker spoke from experience
largely, and he handled his subject
with fluency, awakening patriotic
enthusiasm and eliciting applause.
Laying greater stress upon the i'm
portance of our naval engagements
during the war than is generally sur
missed, he yet wisely admitted the
overruling hand of Providence
throughout, which he declared to have
been frequently contrary to the most
patriotic planning for national saliva
tion on land and sea. And as for our
lllustrious admirals, who were frequent
ly wiser than they knew, he declared
them to have been risen up as the
most proper agencies and at the most
opportune moment for the purpose
eventually effected in Gods provi
dence. He not only painted most
vivid word pictures of our naval en-
gagements, but he also disclosed some
secret international history concern
ing the friendly attitude of the Russian
government and tine belligerent at
titude of England and other nations
in the darkest hour of our national
gloom and dependency. Had the
friendly attitude of Russia been an
open secret upon the occasion of the
visit to this country of Alexis, it is
quite likely there would have been no
reason to complain of the reception
this country gave him no matter who
was President.
We will only say in concluding our
criticism that if the other engagements
OF the course are as we'll rendered as
this, a very profitable and edifying
evenings entertainment may be had
on each occasion by all who may
choose to attend. The next enter.
tainment will be given on the evening
Of January 10Th, when the New York
Philharmonic Club will occupy the
stage.

Giving Away Horses.

Good horses are cheaper in some
parts of the West now than dogs are
in the East, for there are few dogs
not owned by some one, while the
horses cannot be given away. All
over the West horses have been
astonishingly cheap for some time,
and So or S. has been good price
for good animal. A hundred head
of ranch horses sturdy unbroken
bronchos from Wyoming-were sold
in Denver for 500 and the freight
recently. 1t is reported that a big
stock firm in Idaho has tarned more
than $50 ponies adrift to shift fol
themselves during the winter, as it
was cheaper to do this than to pro
vide food for them. The firm could
not get even dollar apiece for them.

The Magical Word Imported"

Why is it that the very name i" I'm
ported" sc ems to add as much to the
beauty and intrinsic value of'a gar.
ment to most feminine eyes as it does
to its price mark. The thing may
not be bit prettier or even more
stylish than could have been achieved
by ones home dress-maker indeed,
it may be positively ugly from an
aesthetic point of view, but the fact
that it halls from foreign shores is
enough to make it thing of beauty
to most feminine beholders.
There is also class Of people who
prefer to buy their goods in the city
rather than patronize home merchants,
Notwithstanding the fact that the
same articles can be bought for the
same or less money at home. OF
course, there are some things that can
not be found here, but we are referring
to the ordinary necessities of life, as
we'll as some of the luxuries. In print
ing alone there are enough orders
sent out of town to keep good print
ing office busy, and for work that can
be done at any home Office just as
well or better. Too many assume
that the home printers can't do what
they want, and SO send their work
away without making any inquiry at
the local establishments. We are in
favor Of protection to home industries,
and the best way to get such pro-
lection is for everybody to try to get
what they want, at home, before send
ing out of town for it.

CAN'T MOVE THE COURT HOUSE.
The Grand Jury at Wilkes Barre Decides
Against Change Of Site.

There was an interesting fight be.
fore the Grand Jury last Saturday at
Wilkes. Barre between prominent
citizens on the question Of a Court
House site, and it ended in the decis
ion that the present site should be
retained. Several months ago two
consecutive Grand Juries recommend
ed that new Court House be built,
and shortly after the Commissioners
decided to purchase lot two blocks
away from the center of the town.
Several prominent people who believ.
ed their property would be damaged
by taking the Court House away from
the center OF the town commenced
suit to prevent the Commissioners
executing their project.
After an interesting and lengthy
legal fight the Court decided that the
Commissioners could not remove the
location of the Court House without
the consent of two consecutive Grand
Juries. The Grand Jury decided
that the Court House should be kept
on its present site.

though so-called advancement and
benefit has its reacticnary pull backs

tending very largely to enrich and
protect trusts and combines, lessening
the line of legitimate competition, and
making the State rather than the in

Carter's Tornado" was artistcaily re-

good scenic effect. 1t succeeded not
only in drawing full house, but also
in exciting much favorable comment
upon its realistic scenes and the act
ing. Throughout there was combi
nation OF humor and pathos which was
well calculated to edify. The author
very kindly arranged to have the dead
resurrected, the cold blooded villain
arrested, all offence at last appeased
by marriage. The entertainment aside
flom the main play, such as song,
dance, vomiting and ventriloquism
also elected much applause.
