Gas and Steam Engines.

In the report of tho Fuedlinburg
Gas and Water company it is stated
that the saving in the cost of pump
ing with gas engines, rs compared
with steam, taking tho last year in
which steam was used and the sec
ond with gas, was ~ per cent. While
the gas motor occupies less space
than the steam engine with its boil
er and chimney, it has the advantage
as regards attendance, for ono man
can look afAer several gas engines,
while IA steam engine plant of any
considerable Importance requires an
ensineman and stoker and often an
additional hand to keep up the coal
supply. An advantage of the gas
motor is that it can at any time be
put to wock Immediately, so that
considerable water pressure may be
made available in a few minutes, so
important in case of fire.

Shooting rrom en- elephant.

The elephants howdah is that bed
of Procrustos, in which one can
neither sit nor stand with any APP
proach to reasonable ease, and in
which a recumbent attitude is i'm
possible, says Blackwood's Magazine.
Its advantages are: First, that stand
ing in it IL man can shoot on every
side of him; second, that it is con-
venient for the carriage of the occu-
pants paraphernalia~-his guns on
racks OH either side, his ammunition
in a trough in front, his other req
uisites in leather pockets here and
there on the sides of the machine
and his bed blanket on the seat, and,
third, that in a hinder compartment
an attendant can stand to hold that
monstrous umbrella over his head,
or when quick loading is required
take from his hand the gun just fired
and recharge it. These are the adj
%vantages; otherwise the howdah is
an abomin2tion.

OLYMPIC FESTIVAL rlxed by the Moon.

The time for the Olympic festival,
like the Christian Easter, was de-
pendent upon the moon. In accord
ance with an ancient tradition, the
festival was held when the moon
was nearest the summer solstice, at
the end of June or the beginning of
July. With the first appearance of
thenew moon began the Hieromenia,
or sacred month, during which a
sacred truce prevailed. Hostilities
were suspended, and no armed SOL
der could enter the territory of Els
and no assault could be made upon
a pilgrim under penalty of IL heavy
fine and communication from the
temples, games and sacrifices. Pro

GET FLESH.
Get Strength, Vigor, Clear Complexion and
dOod Digestion, Not by Patent nedlcine,
but In Natures Own WaY.

Any honest physician will tell you that
there Is but one way to get increased flesh (;
all the patent medicines and cod liver oils
to the contrary Notwithstanding.
Nature has but one way to increase
flesh, strength and vigor of mind and
body, and that is through the stomach by
wholesome food well digested. Their. is
no reason or common sense in any other
method whatever
People are thin, run down. nervous, pale
and shaky In their nerves, simply because
their stomachs are weak.
They may not think they have dyspep-
sia. but the fact remains that they do not
eat enough food or what they eat is not
quickly and properly digested as 1t should
be.
DIR. Harlandson says the reason Is be-
cause the stomach lacks certain digestive
acids and peptones, and deficient secre-
ton OF gastric juice.
Nature remedy in such cases is TO sup
ply what the weak stomach lacks. There
are several good preparations which will
do this, but none so readily as Stuart 5
Dyspepsia Tablets, which are designed es-
pecially for all stomach troubles, ami
which cure all digestive weakness Oh the
common sense plan of furnishing the Iii.
gestive principles which the stomach
lacks.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give perfect
digestion. First effect IS to increase the
appetite and increased vigor, added flesh,
pure blood, and strength of nerve ani
muscle is the perfectly natural result.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the SAT-
est tonic known and will cure any form of
stomach trouble except cancer of the

William McAndrew, an insane man, cs-

and came to this place. After wandering
about the streets for sometime he made
his way to the home of his father John
McAndrew, ,on Brick avenue. As soon as his
flight became known to the keepers at the
home, several men were sent in pursuit of
him. They went to McAndrew's home
but were refused admittance. The men
secured police aid and went back. When
the family saw them returning they locked
the doors and fastened all the windows
and emphatically refused to allow the Of
hcers to enter. Seeing that they were
determined to keep him, the keepers re-
turned to the home. In AN interview
with Tribune reporter one of the keep
ers said that McAndrew had been at the
home for period of six months and that
during the last few weeks he had i'm
proved to such an extent as to be grant

in the blacksmith shop and yesterday
made key with which he succeeded in

SCHOOL AT OLD FORGE.
D., L. & W. Company Takes Exception
TO Its Construction at This Par.
ticuIar Timc-..lts Act Yesterday. i.

Today. at noon, the officers of the
school district of Old Forge are to open
bids for $4,000 worth of bonds. which
are to be issued for the purpose of
erecting n new high school. Yesterday
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern Railroad company, through Attor-
neys NJ. |. Corbett and Warren &
Knapp, secured from Judge Albright
preliminary injunction forbidding the
issuing of the bonds, and a rule to show
cause why the district should not be
permanently restrained from increasing
the Indebtedness, as proposed. said rule
being rcturnable Jan. 4. at 3 a. IN.
Nov. II last, William Repp and John
Cook, president and secretary respect
lively, of the Old Forge school board in
accordance with the legal requirements
filed with the clerk of the courts a state
ment of the districts financial stand
ing. This statement showed that at the
close of the school year ending June
/, 1896. the school district was not in
debted in any sum whatever, but had
a surplus; that the assessable property
of the district was S712.43O: that the
amount of debt about to be incurred
for the new high school building Is
$4,000. the form of the obligation being
thirty bonds of the denomination of
$500 each, and that the annual tax to be
levied for the payment of the indebt-
edness Is eight per cent. of the debt.
In its petition for the Injunction the
company AYERS that the proposed bond
issue is Illegal as it conflicts with the
following section of the act of June
Is, 1894:
Section 1-Be it enacted etc., That
whilst proceedings are pending any
court of this commonwealth for the divi-
sion of any township or school district
or for the erection of any borough it
shall not be lawful for the school dircc-
tors of the township or district proposed
to be divided or out of which such bor-
Ough is proposed to be erected, to levy,
assess, or collect any tax whatever for the
purchase of ground or for school building
purposes, except where the same shall be
necessary to rebuild a school house, acci-
dentally injured or destroyed or to pay q
building debt previously incurred.
There are now before court proceed
ings for the division of Old Forge
township, by erecting the borough of
Pyne from portions of Old Forge and
Lackawanna townships. This the COM
pany argues. would bring Old Forge
under the operations of the section
quoted.
A bond was filed by the company in
the sum of 81, 900 with w. F. Hallstead
and j. f. Snyder as sureties.
