Sign Boards.

Many of the country cross roads are
either not marked at all by finger boards
or else they are out of position in numer-
ous instances or so old and dilapidated
that they are illegible. OF course, this is
not the case in all townships throughout
The country. In some Localities the super
visors are to be commended icr the care
hul discharge OF their dHty In this direc-
ticn. Finger bo.lrds. In good shape, are
a great aud necessary help TO those trav-
cling in comparatively strange country
and are missed very m1ch if lacking.
The law makes ii obligatory upon
supervisors TO provide finger boards
and fixes penalty for failure to fuldu
the law in that respect. Those having
the matter in charge, at a number OF
points, should give it more and better at
tentiOn.

In no class of diseases is there 50 much
putting of till a more convenient sea-
son." or more damage caused by delay,
as in diseases of the ear. AS you value
your hearing, tend to it as soon as the
least failure is noted. when it is as easily
cared as other ailments.
Maggie Barbick, Etna, Pa, had a most
agonizing pain in her right ear, the result
Of an old neglected trouble causing very
large polypus to fill the ear tightly. She
consulted Dr. Sadier, sOi Penn Avenue,
whose skill in diseases OF the ear enables
him to secure satisfactory results in every
case. After removing the growth his
tire ltment removed all ILLUMINATION /;
stopped all discharge and offensive odor.
Such cases, neglected, lead to destruction
of the bones in the ear, Inflammation of
the brain, and death.

Cream Ripsnsr" Now Being Used By Un-
prineipled Butter Makers.


Since the war of determination against
the oleomargarine dealers has been on,
the stuff has taken a new form, and the
department of agriculture at Harrisburg
has unearthed a scheme that is creating
CONSERVATION among butter makers. and
especially creameries, throughout the
state. The oleomargarine law forbids
the admixture of any foreign fat or other
substance, mot the product Of the cow"
For some time past it was suspected at
the department that the law was openly
evaded, and detectives were put to work.
The officers ingratiated themselves into
the good graces of number OF creamery
men throughout the state, and quietly
bought samples of what is known as
"Cream Ripener." The creamery men
were using it and stated that it added
from ten to twelve per cent, TO the weight
Of butter from a given amount of milk.
The detectives were also shown how TO
use it to avoid detection A number of
manufacturers have been bound over for
court and the officers have been instructed
to cover the entire state, as it is known
that number of farmers are using the
stuff The mixture has been analyzed by
the state chemists, who pronounce it to
be an emulsion of cotton seed oil. Il is
believed that the stuff has had wide sale
on the quiet, and they will make every
endeavor to bring all offenders 10 justice

Saluting a Cat.
(From Harper's Round Table. J

From Harper'S Round Table.)
There is at least one place il the world
where the cat was until recently held in
high honor, and received the attention
due to one of SO high station In life.
That place is India, were in O fortress
the sentries invariably used to present
arms to every cat that appeared on the
scene.
The custom is accounted for by this
singular anecdote, which comes from
Wallpapers to be good authority.
Some 90 years ago it happened that a
very high English official died in an In
dian fortress, at place that is one of
the centres of Brahminiu religion. and at
the moment when the news of his death
met the Sepoy guard at the main gate a
black cat rushed out of it.
The superstitious.guard presented arms
to the cat as salute to til dying spirit
of the powerful English man, and the
coincidence took such a firm hold upon the
locality, -that up to few years ago neith-
er exhortation nor orders could prevent a
Hindoo sentry at that gate from present.
ing arms to any cat that passed out at
night.

What Causes Blight on Fruit Trees.

The blight which som etimes attacks
fruit trees of every description is of ex-
tremely obscure origin, being attrib
uted by some naturalists to diseased
condition of the san, while ct hers charge
it to microscopic fungus growth, and
still others assert that the attack of in
scots are responsible for the damage.
Whatever may be the cause, the fatal
effects of the blight on apple, peach,
cherry, plum and particularly On
pear trees, are well known to all nur-
serymen and orchard owners. Many re-
NEEDLES have been tried bat. probably
from she fact t!aet blights arise from
different causes and conditions, none
have in all cases proved eftioaoious. The
su bject is one of great interest to those
eng ageo in growing fruit-rroducing
trees, and has enlisted the earnest efforts
of naturalists and scientific men, but the
causes of the destruction are such that
no certain remedy can be prescribed for
any given case. -Globe-Democrat.

A Remarkable DO ok,


The most curious book in the world is
neither written nor printed. Its pages
are composed of the finest quality of vel
lum, and the letters were with infinite
pains and trouble out out of the material
with sharp pointed knife or pair of
delicate SCISSORS. 1t is interleavsd with
blue paper, and the letters can. there
fore, be read na easily as any print. 1t
formerly belonged to the Prince de LiRne
and is now in the library of noble
French family. The title Of ssthe book is
"Liber PASSIONS Domini Nostri Jesu
Christi, cum Characteribus Nnla Materia
Com positis;" in English, "Ths Book
OF the Passion Of Our Lord Jesus Christ
in Characters, Without Materials of Com
position" The matter is homily proba-
bly, composed by some mouastic preacher
of the. middle ages. A remarkable cir
cumstanoe connected with this book is
the fact that, although it bears the royal
arms of England, no mention of II can be
found in any English writing. The book
is believed to have been made some time
in the thirteenth or fourteenth century.
In 1864 the Emperor Rudolph H., offered
for it II, 900 ducats. which in the money
of our time would Eequal about 1866, 900,

Death from A poplexy.


In discussing this subject DR.. charles
L Dana, of the New York Medical Rec
ord, said.
"The conditions of modern civilization
undoubtedly are tending to increase the
mum Der Of cases. of apoplexy, particularly
those cue to the rupture of blood vessels.
The fact that under sanitary conditions
more people reach the apoplectic age Is
one cause of this. The gradual lessening
of the number of acute Infectious fevers,
and the consequent lessening of NOR
tality from such increases the proportion
ate number of deaths due to the diseases
of the arterial system. The increased OPP
portunities for indulgences in luxurious
modes Of living and In excessive eating
and drinking, tend to impair the integ-
rity of the coats Of the arteries and to
promote conditions Of arterial fibrosis.
Already this may be demonstrated by the
statistics of our great cities, as well as
deduced from the known laws Of path.
ology.
'fThe vital statistics OF the Massaohu-
setts Board Of Health show that apo
plexy as a cause of death runs from 10 in
rank in 1877 to IA in 1881, to in 1885.
andaa 10 in 1890. In New York city
the deaths from apoplsxy and paralysis
have increased from 314 in 1866 and 279
in.1S67 to 1,194 in 1892 and l, III In 1893.
.sApoplexy does not affect BRAIN work
ers If they live temperately, but rather
spares them. -
