March came in like lamb, you know,
And it gave its tail toss;
But still, You see, it'll likely be
A lamb with blizzard sauce.

down, she usually turns the gas up.
If there is anything new regarding the
Brsdy's Bend railway project we have not
heard of it.
The snow dri fits in Clearfeld twp. are
holding out in great shape, the Constable
OF that Twp. reports all roads running North
and South impossible on account OF drifts
The musical and literary entertainment
given by the students of Butler High
School, in the N. E. church last Thursday
evening was well attended, and was
good all through.
Mrs. Mountford's illustrated lectures
on life in and near Jerusalem, delighted all
the women and most of the men. Her de-
| scription of the customs and habits of the
people there, explain many expressions
and sayings in the Bible which are mis-
interpreted and misunderstood.
Cyrus Campbell of Parker twp. will

The ice gorge at Ford City below Kit
tanning moved out last Sunday and for a
while the river channel was a surging,
heaving. grinding mass of ice, sight wit
messed by everybody who could get to the
river. The ice broke away to within
O mile of the town; but from Kittaning t."
near Parker, distance of 50 miles, thC
river remains one unbroken pack of ice,
and rivermen say that twenty feet of water
will be needed to start it.
A Philadelphia paper tells of an old
woman who was known to have amassed
considerable wealth, but who refused To
intrust it to any bank. Where she kept
her money was a mystery. until she came
to die few days ago. Then thorough
search was made OF the premises without
disclosing the hiding place. Finally, when
the body was being prepared for burial,
porous plaster on the old woman's side was
noticed, which did not lie as close to the
skin as such plasters generally do. When
the plaster was removed number of gov
ernment bonds. representing the old wo-
mans entire fortune, we're found between
it and the skin.
People who began clipping the cou-
pons from the Pittsburg Times last Friday,
must remember to send them in by next
Thursday, the 14th, or else the first one
will not count The votes must go in every
two weeks;and, as we said before, if any
Butler Co. teacher intends making an eff
fort for the trip, he or she, must organize
county Immediately. The prize is big
one, and will not easily be secured.
About $50 copies of the paper
come into Butler, aud perhaps 200 in a IL
into the county, daily; there will be 92 is
sues from March TO June 10Th; so you
see that about 90, 900 coupons will come in
to this county and it will take them all
and probably as many more to insure win
ner. Since writing the above we under
stand that the teachers of Butler have set
tied upon Miss Annie Cummings as their
candidate.
1t is SAID that no class of people suffer
more with rheumatism than the farmers,
aud yet the remedy for this dread disease
is, or should be, right at hand. If celery
were eaten more freely sufferers from
rheumatism would be comparatively few. 1t
| is mistaken idea that cold and damp pro-
duce the disease; they simply develop it
When celery is eaten largely an alkaline
| blood is the result, and where this exists
there can neither rheumatism nor gout. II
should not only be eaten raw, but cooked.
Cut it into small pieces and boil till soft
in as little water as possible Add to this
| little rich milk, tbicken slightly with
-four and season with butter, pepper and
salt. TIE tender leaves and small ends of
the stalk, which are usually thrown away,
should be used for soups; cut fine and use
for vegetable soup, or dry the large leaves
crumble them to powder and use for sea-
oning other soups. And no part of the
celery may be wasted.
| circumstances have very little to do
with human happiness. We labor under
the impression that if we could have our
own way and create our own environment
we should be continuously contented. but
the impression has no basis in fact. In
deed, the plainest of all truths-it we
think seriously On the subjects that we
are independent of everything except our
own souls. II the soul is bright and
CHEEKY, single geranium on the window
sill will give US pleasure, whereas to the
soul that has formed the habit of fault
finding q whole conservatory can furnish
no enjoyment. In the last analysis, there
fore. neither wealth or poverty has very
much to do with your happiness or misery,
because the source of both lies in yourself
There are people who would not be salts
| fed il they were seated next to the Throne
that within them which would make even
q corner in purgatory comfortable.
