Edison, tke Menlo Park wizard, has
hit upon a new thing, called the "fuero-
scope He claims it will permit hospital
surgeons and physicians to examine an
injured limb and to see the interior OF
the arm or leg all the time while using
instruments in making the necessary
operations, so that no unnecessary cutting
or probing will have to be done in order
to perform a thorough operation. The
new machine consists of a double tube
vacuGm pump attached to a wooden up
right, the exhaust mercury pipe running
into a small wooden box alongside the
pump in which the fnbe is placed. The
electrical current necessary is furnished
from an ordinary battery and induction
coil underline box, or in any convenient
place, and the wires leading up through
the bottom of the box prevent any posi-
bility Of the surgeon or the patient to be
operated upon coming in contact with
the wires or endangering themselves by
shook. What may next be expected in
The line of scientific development?

The Pennsgrove Record last week took
issue With an editorial appearing in the
MONITOR REGISTER two weeks ago, in
reference to the difficulties of assessing
under the new tax law, and in which
mention was made of an amendment to
the law, prepared by Mayor Richman.
but which failed to pass the Legislature.
The Record thinks the present law is all
right, and says that the assessors there
had no difficulty in performing their
duties under it. Perhaps not, but when
ali the assessors unite In condemning the
Law. from a practical test Of it, gives
their opinion more weight than from
an outsider, whose motives seem not
altogether free from partisan bias or
personal spite, as shown by the assault
upon Mayor Richman, a most uncs lied
for and ungracious proceeding, to say
the least. It hal remained for the editor
Of the Record to find out that the new
way af assessing Is more correct and just
than under the I'D law.

EDITOR N PUBLISHER.
During 1896 the
Public

former high place in Journalism will be not only
maintained, but advanced by Improvements in every
department, in the extension of its news service, lit
erary attractions, and special features. To enable
the publisher to make the proposed improvements,
and to meet the steadily and rapidly growing circu-
lation of the LEDGER, Messrs. Hoe & Co. have
| constructed for it and are now erecting four new
| Sextuple Presses of the latest and most approved
design. These presses will increase the facilities for
rapid printing rs per cent, enhance the Topographic
cal appearance of the paper, and give more distinct
Impressions.
The LEDGER is first of all a newspaper giving all
the news of the day, classified and in complete form.
In the PUBLIC LEDGER every statement is verified,
its news is therefore thoroughly reliable.
Outside its news department (which includes
special correspondence from all the important cities
| and towns in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Della
( ware), the LEDGER is an illustrated family newspa-
| per Of exceptional interest and value, giving special
attention to domestic affairs, religious news and
comment, social events, games, sports, the fashions
of the day, literary, art, farm and garden, scientific
and labor notes, building society news, etc.
To its special New York and Washington cores
| ~pondeHce, long since rendered famous, it now adds
letters from the chief Capitols Of Europe.
Its financial news and market reports are com
| plete and reliable.
The Saturday issue is a great compendium of
every phase OF social life, containing reading matter
to suitevery taste, compiled specially for the Satur-
International Sunday-school lesson is alone worth
the price of subscription.
Its classified advertisements are as interesting as
news and as widely read. The public has for years
made the PUBLIC LEDGER its chief vehicle for the
announcements Of births, marriages and deaths.
Write for rates of classified advertisements. Sub

The political complexion of the next
State Senate is already a matter of con.

Senators, and eight of these Republicans
it is not likely that the majority will be
shifted to the other side of the house.
Nine Senators retire this year. Ward,
Salem; Packer, Gloucester; Bradley,
Monmouth; Thompson, Somerset; Voor-
bees, Union; Stats, Warren; Rogers,
Camden; Ketoham, Essex. and Parry, of
Burlington. OF these at least five viii

BY WAY OF CATEcHIsM.
Why is such a fine audience gathered
here to-nightp
The press has set before you the fact
OF the date and preparation of this meet
ing.
Why were you sufficiently confident in
the ability of the members of this
woman's organization to convince your
minds that it would in the least degree
repay you for the necessary effort put
forth to reach this place of meeting ?
Such confidence has grown in upon
you, either consciously or unconsoiously
during the years-through the power
of the press.
Why is every true American citizen
interested in the day we celebrate?
Because we have had handed down to
US from the Revolutionary period of d
nations history, accounts of the life and
works of George Washington, through
the power of the press.
Why has the Woman's Christian Tenn.
perance Union grown to such a network
OF outposts in its local organizations all
over the world until it's bands OF ribbon
white are inteltwined into the very hearts
and lives of the womanhood of forty
different countries?
Because, together with our round-th
world missionaries, as has been asserted
by disinterested specialists in press
work: "1hough the W. G. T. U. is among
the youngest of the great societies, no
other has used SO carefully and
systematically in the PRONUNCIATION of its

IN CONCLUSION.
1t is true now as when the words were
first uttered, MY people perish for lack
of knowledge The reason why our
young folks go their way into wrong-doing
is largely because they have not been
trained in a better way.
A mothers hand smoothing the wrap
pings around her little child to protect
and shelter him, is not more worthily
engaged than a woman's hand who
pens high and holy thoughts, which pass
ing under the eye of the untaught child
hood and youth produce that arrest of
attention in the mind from which every
good cause has everything to hope.
For this reason there is in my mind
nothing secular, writes Frances Willard,
but everything sacred in the contempla-
tion of press department through which
we have as White Ribbon women, spread
the pure light of a pure life over the
nations fast and far.
