A single vertical wrinkle between
the eyebrows shows strict honesty

Economy broadens the nose, max

Lines extending downward from
the angle of the mouth toward the
chin, when marked, show tenden

The lines raying outward from
the eyes shows capacity for enjoy.

When one has short vertical lines

About Peaches.

A dispatch from bennington says !.
Two hundred and sixty replies out
of three hundred inquiries sent out
to the largest peach growers in this
section, regarding the prospects for
this years crop, substantially report
that the prospects for an immense
yield are good. The cold Spring
weather retarded the growth of the
peach buds until the late frosts were
over. The buds are opening now
and are healthy in appearance.
There are gratifying reports of all
fruits being plentiful, except black
berries, which crop will be very
light.-Blairstown Press.

A NEW SALARY GRAB.

The House of Representatives on
Friday last voted--yeas, 1870 (; nays,
10S-in favor of a resolution author
izing its members to hire clerks, at
800 per month, to serve during the
time that Congress is not in session.
This will increase the aggregate of
House expenditures by s216, 900 a
year. Representatives are already
furnished with clerks during the
sitting Of Congress but it is urged
that their labors in behalf of their
constituencies are continuous, and
that they must needs have clerks
during the vacations. No better
reason could be urged for the shame
less grab. The people of Pennsyl-
vania may be curious to know how
their own immediate Representa-
tives voted upon the passage of

THE DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK.

Our friends the enemy are dol
orous over McKinley's views on sill
yer. They are anxious because he
is not sound on the gold standard,
and regret that he does not measure
up to their ideas. They distrust
him, they say.
Look at the Democratic factions.
Two hundred and eighty-six dele
getes have so far been elected, and
they are about evenly divided for
gold and silver. It would seem as
if our friends had all the missionary
work on their own hands they can
attend to.
By the way what is their position
on the tariff question, or are they
keeping that conveniently in the
back ground.

Cheerfulness is a duty a man owes
to himself and to his family, and it
is one that he also owes to the ma
tion and the age in which he lives,
and all doctors win agree that one
of the best preventives of disease is
cheerfulness, and one of the best
and most effectual curatives when
disease has set in is the feeling that
all is for the best, whatever comes
health or sickness. life or death.
Moreover, a man owes it to his fam
lily to leave the trouble and cares of
his business life behind him when
he comes home to his wife and his
family it is a selfish thing to save
up, as it were, these troubles and
annoyances, so that he may impart
them at home, with the inevitable
result of making everybody else
miserable.

The foot is showed under a bronze

heard which indicate that the auto

Editorial.

REPLY TO AN OPEN LETTER.
An j." open letter " in last weeks
Dispatch from John A. Fisher, mer-
camille appraiser, says it is reply to
a" libelous, unwarranted attack on
my (his) official character" In it
the writer who probably was not
Fisher but a well-known gentlemen
of leisure in this town takes the
occasion first to drop some charac-
teristically honeyed phrases regard
ing the Press and its object in being
born and excuse for living. We will
enlighten this chronic purvey or of
compliments. A large class of peo-
pie in this county had come to feel
the necessity for having some chan
mel through which a little light could
be filtered into this dark corner of
the Commonwealth and some in
formation disseminated as to the
doings and misdoings of the class of
people styled public officials. To do
this in humble way the PRESS was
organized and this is one excuse for
being if 1t is necessary to prefer one.
Now in regard to MIR. Fishers lame
excuse which in fact amounts to no.
thing except saying that because ap-
praisers prior to 1894 either found
no billiard or pool tables in the
county, or, if they found them
failed in their duty therefore he
finding them now has failed in his.
He says " in 1894 the appraiser
placed such tables on the list to
the disgust of all citizens, and to
the result of forcing some parties
out of business and others to the dis
banding of their tables"
The tact is that in 1894 but two
were appraised and they both paid.
who then was forced out, or dis
banded ?
In 1895 four were appraised two
paid and two were exonerated, after
being sued, for the reason that they
declared they did not keep the ta-
bles for use or hire. Who then was
forced out or disbanded2
Mr.. Fisher says " in view of the
results of these suits and on advice
of his attorney he did not assess the
tables and he believes that his ac-
tion will meet the approval of a
large majority of the people of this
county" He had his printed in
structions from the Commissioners
in regard to appraising billiard ta-
bles and in point of fact placed three
names on his list, which he subse
quently, we must presume in defer
ence to public opinion, which in
his estimation is averse to seeing the
law enforced, took off. What his
real reason for so doing was we must
leave to conjecture for he certainly
In his open letter " fails to ex-
plain.

and careful public official may ex-

STATISTICS FROM AGRICUL.
TURAL REPORT.

Through the courtesy of Hon.
Thos. j. Edge, Secretary we have
received a copy of the State Report
of Agriculture for 1895 and from its
highly interesting pages summarize
some facts. The number of sheep in
1886 was 900, 900, and rose until 1893
to over 900, 900, from 1893 20 1896
the number has declined to 1, 200, 600
or 100000 per year. In Pike county
the records designate the value of
371 farms at 81, ,O97, 44s, 90, with
county and township taxes amount
ing to 9,518O3 annually. The
average assessments do not exceed
one fourth the actual value.
The highest mill in the townships
represented is that of Lackawaxen
with 80 mills, and Blooming Grove
with 20 mills as the lowest. Della.
ware has 27, Dingman 32, Greene
SO, Lehman 30, Milford 40, Palmyra
81, Shohola 30, Westfall 81.
The chapter on crimson clover il
of particular interest to farmers
and was written by Calvin Cooper
who sent out about two hundred cir.
culars in October 1895 enquiring as
to experience with this plant. Many
replies were received, and in mos
cases the clover had been sown in
the corn at the last working. II
may be sown from August 1st tC
September first and from to II
quarts per acre may be used. Il
fills the soil with fibrous roots, ant
as a green manure to turn under OF
as hay or pasture it is said to bt
unexcelled. The general testimony
is that it is the cheapest medium by
which fertility can be supplied t.
the soil, and by its use millions o.
dollars now annually spent fol
worthless commercial fertilizers car
be saved.
The chapter on food adulteratio1
is one calculated to astonish thu
most incredu1ous. OF molasses th'
chemists found from thirty to sixty
per cent. were adulterated will
glucose. Honey in many cases wa
found to be pure glucose with only
honey enough to give it flavor
Cream of tartar, mustard, blacl
pepper and ginger are more thar
half adulterations.
The buckwheat -four is mixet
with cheaper -four, and one sample
was composed entirely of whea
middlings. Coffee is mixed will

barley, wheat bran and sundry 9th
er articles too numerous to mention

HsslthfuInss. Of Onions.

Onions make nerve tonic not to
be despised. They tone up the worn
out system, and if eaten freely will
show good results in cases of nerv-

after an onion no unpleasant odor
from the breath can be detected.
And in addition to this cheerful bit
OF information, onions eaten freely
are said to beautify the complexion.
