A few weeks ago, when President
Cleveland sent to Congress his message
respecting the Venezuela difficulties, n
great cry was raised in various parts of
the country. There were those who
openly asserted that the President had
written his message after but little re-
Election and without consulting his
cabinet French and German news
papers pronounced It "jingoism," while
English papers denounced II as most
flagrant example Of presumptiousness
Whatever Of truth may have formed
the back ground Of these dcnunciations,
II must now be obvious to every candid
mind that the results of that message
until the present are highly gratifying,
and To all intcnts movement has been
inaugurated the outcome Of which
must be for the highest good Of the
English speaking people. and for the
world at large. Gradually, after the
first fury Of excitement caused by the
explosion of the Presidents "bomb-
she'll" the sounder Judgment Of both
nations began to assert itself and the
result Is determined effort to make
impossible in the future any such "A
rupture between the two countries as
threatened by the Venezuela difficulty.
Conventions in both England and
America, composed Of men most emf
nent from all the professions, confer
cnces, synods, assemblies, college
faculties, influential churches, working
mems clubs and societies, have all passed
resolutions in favor Of the establishment
Of a permanent court Of arbitration for
the settlement Of all future difficulties.
Surely there has never been such II
determined movement in this direction
as has been aroused by the Presidents
message. Let the outcome be what II
may, certainly the past few weeks has
witnessed n great advance towards the
realization of a project that must com
mend itself to- all who are wise.

There is an old law which requires
boroughs and townships to publish the
annual statements. but how many Of
them do it? If it is the intention Of the
law that they shall be published, and it
certainly is, the law is being violated by
nearly all the townships in this county
and many of the boroughs. West
Clearlield has her statement written out
with pen and ink, which is not accord

1t is reported that the next Worlds
Fair, which is to commemorate the
opening of the twentieth century,
has already taken hold not only
on the practical energy but upon. the
imagination of the French people.
Already the Government has committed
itself to preparations of the greatest
magnitude. In fact, after the Worlds
Fair at Chicago any preparations upon
any other than II gigantic scale would
be ludicrous. An earnest effort will
be put forth to represent what is best
and highest in our civilization. Moth
ing can indicate more truly the worlds
progress than the standards of civiliza-
tion that have been exhibited at their
different "World Exhibitions" When
the first Worlds Fair was held in Lon
don the highest list OF civilization was
thought to be in industrial and mechan-
ical products. Hence, all the emphasis
was placed upon these two. In a word,
the first Worlds Fair was an industrial
scale. For many years this idea has
ruled the world; but gradually We are
coming to see, in spite of the obtrusive-
ness and tyranny of this aspect of our
civilization, that it's real test is not to
be sought in its material but in its spir-
itual side. Hence the emphasis that was
laid upon religion, education and art
at the Worlds Fair held in Chicago, and
which stands in such great contrast to
the exclusively mechanical and indus
trial exhibition of the first Worlds Fair
held in London. Judging from reports,
an effort will be made at the coming
exposition to emphasize even more
thoroughly this aspect of human pro
gress that is represented by religion,
educatioRand art.

the b., II. & =. railway to Pittsburg is
an assured fact. The engineers, accord
ing to this authority, will begin locat-

construction will be let in the near

THE CANAIGRE INDUSTRY :.
Increased Amount Will Be Produced in
 the Valley.

General Manager Towsey of the Anglo o-American Canaigre company has set force of twenty five men to work on the company's leased Hand near Tempe for the purpose of clllivating the ground and planting canaigre. Last year five hundred acres were planted of the ttannin root and the results hay ing proved entirely satisfactory, an ad- ditional five hundred acres will be set out this year. Very little work was done in the spring as canaigre will only grow in winter. Next year the compank expects to put in about 2,OOO acres and the acreage will be increased according to the demand.
 The Anglo-American company rep resents capital of several million dol lars and now that confidence has been restored in l5[he money centers, the company is preparing to spend con- siderable of its wealth in the valley in the purchase of land and the building of large factory for the treatment of the tannin root. The culture of ca naigre will soon be a leading industry of the valley and will mean the an nual income of thousands of dollars Canaigre is especially indigenous te this climate, as it is found in the wild state along the river bottoms.

4 LACK OF LIONS.
It Is Now Found Necessary to Preserve
 the King of Beasts in India.

tue A1uS OI Dchbtb LII 1uulas
 British hunters of large game are bitterly lamenting the gradual extinc- ton of lions in India.
 They are no longer found there in any number outside of one region, the forest of Cir, in 'Kathiawar, says an English exchange. They have disap- peared from the hills of Barda, the country of Pajkot, and other places which formerly enjoyed high reputa- tion on account of the abundance of lions in them.
 In the forest of Cir it is feared that their extinction will not be long de layed. Formerly few European hunt CTS dared to venture into this place, which was infested with levers and bandits. Now the forest is being cleared and levers and bandits are dis appearing and with them the lions.
 To prevent the total extinction ot these animals the durbar of KathiawaI has prevented the hunting of them fo1 six years.

DiS!NFECTION OF THE SKIN.

Soap and Water Does Not Remove All
 the Impurities.
 The New York Herald's European edition reports some interesting e1peri- ments of NJ. Lauenstein, a Hamburg physisian, upon the disinfection of the skin.
 It is generally supposed that little soap and water will remove all impuri- :ies from the skin. But these expert nlents of NJ. Lauenstein prove that it is " no means easy to dis.nfect it, even "by minute washings and the most se- were antiseptic applications
 In 147 operations he first removed small piece of epidermis; 23 of these cases had merely been washed with water, whereas the remaining 124 had had the operative field dis'nfected with ether, alcohol and solutions of sub innate of chlorine. The little pieces of skin taken from the latter and tested by the usual methods of culture were found to be exempt from germs in 49 cases only.
 The practical conclusion to be drawn from these experiments is that disinfec- ton of the skin is difficult to realize, that quantity of baths must be given and that too many precautions cannot be taken and no detail is superfuous.
 As regards hospital practice NJ. Lauen- stein's experiments show that it is far preferable not to operate on patients as soon as they are admitted, but only when they have been subjected to re- peated and thorough cleansing and dis infection. For greater security it is ad- vised to have series of washiGgs with soap and of frictions with alcohol. ether, corbolic acid and sublimate, the portion of the body to be treated being protect ed during each seance by fresh anti septic dressing-as the only security against fresh microbian contamination
