A Bottle STOPPER.

If you want a stopper for bottle Of
acid or any substance that would natu-
rally call for glass stopper because of
the danger that the cork would be eaten
up by the contents of the bottle, take
the cork and steep it in vaseline. 1t
will then be impervious to acids of any
kind, and no action of chemicals will
decay il. 1t will, in fact, be as good for
ali purposes as a glass stopper.

What Their Duties Were.

Such n thing couldn't happen to-day,

about 25 years back, and it was told at
a LUNCHEON this spring by gray-haired
matron. Il was then a young house

wives, both young and old, my main
difficulty was servants. One morning,
after much discouragement in many

Heir of Penn Claims Damages.

William Duguld Stuart, claiming to
be the only living heir of William Penn,
has brought action against Jacob
Bryant, and claims $4,000 damages.
The plaintiff bases his action upon al
legged acts of trespass committed at
various times between 1890 and 1896, in
which the defendant is charged with
breaking into a certain grove in Ply
mouth township, known in the last cen
tury as the manor of Sunbury, and cut
ting down trees and pollards of the
plaintiff. The damage claimed is for
500 pine trees, 300 oak trees, 500 hem
lock trees and 500 other varieties OF
trees.
The plaintiff is the alleged heir ol
William Penn, who recently came from
England to look after various tracts OF
land in Pennsylvania, which had beer
held by the Penn family and heirs sine,
the time the ilustrious William secureC
the land from the Indians by the Penn
treaty of 1852.

What the Miners Have Lost.

From the Pittston Item.
There is on thing in connection with
the mine cave that has heretofore es-
capped notice, and that is the fact that
the miners employed at the shaft have
suffered the loss of their mining tools.
Each miners outfit contains the follow
ing articles, with their prices at the
minimum figures: One machine drill,
81; one hand drill, 81 80; one scoop, 45c;
needle, 65c; scrapcr, Csc; pick, $l oil
can, soc; axe, 75c. Many miners have
other tools in addition to the above.
Some of the men at the Twin shaft had
just taken in supply of powder, which
costs them 81, rs u kcg.
Each miners loss was therefore at
least $3.50. As there was about 200
places in the part affected by the fall
the surviving miners lost at least So, 500.
1t speaks volumes for the poor miners
that they have suffered their loss in ST.
lence, for there has been no one as yet
heard to complain about the loss of
these tools. Mention is made of the fact
because all those miners who have been
thrown out of employment since the
cave, whenever seeking work elsewhere,
must buy new sets of tools, thereby in
curing expense that is very hard to
bear these hard times.

For a variety of conflicting misstate-
monts read any Of the big daily papers.
They tell us, with figures to back their
assertions, that the owners of silver
mines are the only persons who will
reap benefit from free coinage, that as
soon as the single standard is displaced
these men will rush their product to the
mints and for every SO cents worth OF
silver bullion they own the government
will stamp it and call it one dollar, and
that with this Al cents profit on each
dollar the mine owners will grow enor-
mously wealthy. In the next breath
they tell us that as soon as the single
standard is discarded the purchasing
power and actual value of a silver
dollar, stamped or unstamped, will fall
to the value of the bullion it contains,
or, in other words, that lifty-cent dollars
will appear Both arguments are used
daily side by side, and the question that
naturally presents itself to the reader is:
"Where does the profit to the silver
mine owner come from II his silver will
be worth no more than it was before
free coinage became law?"

All the ignorance in the United States
Is not confined to one political party, as
the gold mon's papers would have you
believe. Here is sample, taken from
an exchange, which shows that even
Republicans can be iound at times who
are as dumb as they make them:
"Governor Hastings has received a
letter from a Schuylkill county man
stating that he is the father of seven
sons and no daughters. The writtr also
says he has been informed that the state
allows bounty to every father Of seven
sons and asks the governor to see that
he is paid without delay. The man also
states that he is a Republican and that
he cast his first vote for Garfield" A
nice object he is to have a vote.
