Phosphate Deposits in Juniata County.

Professor M. c. Ihlseng, head of
the department of mines and mining
at the Pennsylvania State College, is
investigating what is supposed to be a
very rich deposit of phosphate rock
in Juniata county.
Three classes Of phosphate mater
ials have thus far been discovered.
The first is friable white rock, con-
tanning in typical specimens from 90
to 81 per cent. Of bone phosphate.
The second consists of red modules,
similar in appearance to the so-called
''clay iron-stone," but containing from
IS to So per cent. of bone phosphate,
and alumina. The third class of ma
terial consists of blocks of what ap.
pears to be a dense blue limestone.
but which proves, on analysis, to con-
tain in the neighborhood of 40 per
cent. of bone phosphate of lime"
These deposits might prove very
valuable to the communities in which
they are located, as they can be read
lily converted into the phosphate of
commerce at the mills in Philadelphia
and other eastern cities.

Got a Full Head of Hair.

The late Abraham Baer, who died
at his residence near Holsoppie, Som
erset county, about two months ago,
at the age of 62 years, attracted con.
siderable attention in the community
in which he lived on account of a
phenomenal growth of hair which
appeared on his head before he died.
For twelve years Mr.. Baers head had
been as bald as the average billiard
ball. In January of this year his head
became covered with heavy coating
of scales, similar to dandruff. In a
few days this fell off and a heavy
growth of hair appeared, similar to
that of an infant. The new hair grew
rapidly and assumed a dark brown
hue, much darker than the original
hair and of a much finer texture. AT
the time of Mr. Baer's death the
growth of hair was over three inches
in length and heavier than the original
growth. He had never used anything
in the way of hair restoratives and
applied nothing but water to the scalp.
The case excited the curiosity of his
neighbors and puzzled the local ply
sicians. Another curious circumstance
connected with this is that Mr.. Baer's
father, who died few years ago at
the age Of 90 years, had for many
years hair as white as snow, which,
two years before his death, changed
color to dark brown, having origin
ally been of a sandy color, and re-
NAMED so until the time Of his death.

Use it in Time,

Catarrh starts in the nasel passages,
affecting eyes ears and throat, and is
in fact, the great enemy ofthe mucous
membrane. Neglected colds in the
head almost invariably precede ca
tarrh, causing an excessive flow of
mucous, and if the mucous discharge
becomes interrupted the disagreeable
results of catarrh will follow, such as
bad breath, severe pain across fore
head and about the eyes, a roaring
and buzzing sound in the ears and
oftentimes a very offensive discharge.
Ely's Cream Balm is the acknowl-
edged cure for these troubles.

Bishop Bowman Presidrs.

The East Pennsylvania Evangelical
conference opened its ffty-seventh
annual session in Ebenezer church
last Thursday. Bishop Thomas Bow
man, who was barred out Of this
church five years ago, at the beginning
of the now famous church fight, pre-
sided, with Bishop S. c. Breyfogel.
Bishop Bowman, in opening, referred
in scathing terms to some of his op-
ponents of those days, one of whom
he said, is not fit to be mentioned
before a Christian audience. He
called them traitors, charged them
with treachery, hypocrisy and dis
honesty, and referred to ex-Bishop
Haman in most opprobrious terms.

If you eat what you like, and di-
gest it, you will surely be strong and
healthy.
But ifyou don't digest it, you might
almost as well not eat, for what good
can your food do you if it doesn't
nourish you?
If you find that you can't digest it,
there is simple help for your stomach.
1t is Shaker Digestive Cordial,
made by the Shakers of Mount
Lebanon. 1t has never failed to cure
the worst case of indigestion.
Strength and health come from the
food you eat, after it has been digest
ed and has gone into the blood.
The best tonic is digested food.
The best aid to digestion, Shaker

ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.

There is nothing so foolish as work
without fixed purpose.
Do not spend your time in sitting
about talking of ways and means OF
getting fame and money.
Remember that working out fixed
purpose in life is just as amusing as
drinking champagne and fox hunting
DO not fancy that talent counts for
SO very much in the world. Persist
ence without intellect is better than
intellect without persistence.
Don't be afraid because your pock-
cts are nearly empty. Only hand
ful of the hundreds of millions on this
earth are forehanded more than, one
meal,
Do not fancy that your money and
your social position are aids to doing
things that are worth while. In youth
they are as dangerous as too much
jelly cake.
Do not be enthusiastic about any
thing except what you doing yourself.
This does not mean that you are to
be narrow or ungenerous. But en-
thusasm is an explosive. 1t should
be saved for serious purpose.
Don't fancy that youth is the only
time in which there is any amusement
to be got out Of life. In reality it is
the time when the most evanescent
pleasures only are to be had, and
that at scandalous prices.

Maple Sugar Production.

The production of maple sugar has
decreased noticeably. According tc
the last census, twenty-four states
made returns, but the total yield was
only 35,ooo,ooo pounds, against So,
100000 pounds ten years earlier.
Vermont leads with something over
100000 pounds; New York follows
with 10000 900 pounds annually
New Hampshire turns out 1900, ,ooo
pounds peryear. Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Michigan, formerly important
producers, show a rapid decrease in
production, and the same is true OF
the states of Indiana, Virginia, Ken
lucky, Tennessee and Wisconsin.

COTTON MARKET REVIEW.
The Financial Situation Gave Cot :

OkIiCc OF INC fOSt,
Houston. Wednesday. February s.
The rosy hue that ovcrsprcad the nnan-
cial atmosphere was reflected to a slight
extent In todays cotton transactions
though the Improvement was not as much
as the bulls thought the situation justi-
lied. Local adviccs stated that subscrip-
tons TO tho bond issue were nearly three
hundred millions. showing that Uncle
Sans credit Is unlimited.
Despite the favorable financial situa-
ton. spectators seemed only half
hearted In their buying OF cotton and
there was really very little life In the
market, Tho port receipts were not
large. but estimates for tomorrow's move
ment at Houston and New Orleans were
quite heavy and depressed the market
somewhat The half weekly interior re-
port was considered bullish showing re-
ccip's OF 5000, the same as the movement
Tor the corresponding time In 1898 Ship
ments were 10000, against 2l,ono in 1891
The tone OF both spots and futures was
very steady at the close today. and In
the opinion of many indicates a further
Improvement before the week ends The
fall months at New York again showed "A
