NJ. ". Botsford of Nordmont, has
accepted the agency of the ''comput
ing scale,'' manufactured in Dayton
O. These scales arc complete and
every merchant in Sullivan county
should have one. There are three
beams, one weighs the same as com>
mon scales, the other two compute
the price OF the article sold or pur-
chased by the merchant. For in
stance were you to sell to the mer>
chant a roll of butter of five pounds
worth 90 cents per pound, you would
adjust the lower beam to 20c per lb
and the total weight would give you
the total price, $l.0O and not five
pounds. The scales are SO arranged
that they will give fraction OF a
cent correct.

To the Farmers OF Eastern Sui
livan.

Gentlemen, you agare aware that
the Pennsylvania Legislature at its
last session made provisions for a
department of Agriculture. Under
these provisions it is proposed TO
hold two institutes in Sullivan coun-
tv. one at Sonestown, Jan. 10th, and
at Dushore on tho 10th, under the
auspices of the State Board OF Agri>
culture we have had three very sues
cessful Institutes at Forksville, and
it was thought that this year it would
be only fair TO give the Eastern por-
zion of the county the benefits OF
these meetings especially as these
two points are on the line OF the
railroad and the speakers are enroute
to adjoining counties, and the appro'
priation for local expenses are limit
ed. 1 need not remind the farmers
of Sullivan county that the asricul-
tural interest of our great Common
wealth, is the greatest single interest
and that when agriculture prospers
all other t,ades and professions
flourish. Allow me TO urge all to
attend these meetings, and listen to
the practical and able men employed
by Che State to disseminate informa-
tion.

Board Forksville. Jan. 7tb, &c.

WRITs OF ERROR.
Some Ludicrous Mistakes That Have Crept
Infn Print


Into Print.
The MaZarin bible, published more
than four hundred years ago, was full
of errors. in an edition published two
hundred years later the word "not"
was omitted from the seventh COM
mandment, from which error the book
received the name of the Adulterons
Bible" In the printed directions for
conducting Catholic services appeared
the line, Here the priest will take off
his culotte.U The word colotte means
an ecclesiastical cap or mitre. Culotte
means, in broad Saxon, mans under
clothes. A blunder equally scandalous
was made in review of historical
work as follows: cit was we'll under

The Rev. DR.. Todd was given some
relics to present to museum. In pre-
senting them he alluded to the lives of
the saints" The remarks when pub
lished alluded to the lies of the
saints, which so enraged the giver
that he wrote to DR.. Todd and demand
e their return.
At a large public demonstration in
England a popular and prominent man
arose to speak and was greeted with
enthusiastic cheering and shouts. In
speaking of it the newspaper said:

obituary on the death of man of some
celebrity said: He began life as a

Here Oct IA
At a meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the State Board of Directors,
held at the Milwaukee building, Feb
ruary 18th, the place of meeting was
chosen for the next State Convention.
Kenosha was selected. The associa-
ton there is showing much enterprise
and is making full use of the meagre
building now owned by it, Men are
being reached in the religious meet
ings, and the entire work has outgrOWn
it present accommodations. With fall
departments in a healthy condition,
the Association will be able to make
the most of the impulse that will be
given by the State gathering.
From its nearness to Milwaukee, Ke-
nosha is made easily accessible flom
any point in the State. a favorable
railroad rate is expected.
The announcement is made with
much satisfaction that Prof. Wilbert
W. White, of the Chicago Bible Insti-
tute, has promised to be present and
conduct the bible hour of each session.
Prof. Whites name is synonym
among the great army of college stud
ents for mastery, scientific, spiritual
Bible study. He has become known to
them through his direction of one of
the Bible Study Departments at the
Lake Geneva Students Conference,
during number of years past. His
address on Prayer, delivered at the
GAINESVILLE Convention, will be long re-
membered.

Gludness Comes

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. It's therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment Of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, orc
may be commended to the most skillfll
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informede everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
Gsedand gives most general satisfaction.
