WISE WORDS.

Who judges another, condemns
himself
Men who believe the mos. achieve
the most.
If tombstones are to be trusted, bad
men never die.
Error is the policeman ofignorance
arresting ideas.
Resist troubles and many of them
will flee from you.
No just man can be mean and no
cruel man can be good.
Better be lamp in the house than
try to be a star in the sky.
There is no virtue in doing right
simply because we have to.
The best of us owe more to chance
than we are willing to admit.
All busy people finally get SO that
they hate those who are lazy.
A man may wear religion as cloak
and yet freeze his soul to death.
How many times good fortune has
come to us through our mistakes.
How time flies from the date on
which man distinguishes himself.
Keep your milk of human kindness
fresh-it will never keep in vinegar
jug.
Individual freedom and happiness
are the true aims Of popular govern
ment
A man always judges woman by
his idea of how she would suit him for
a wife.
Patriotism, pure and undeiled, is
almost as scarce as perfect physical
health.
Center shots are what tell one
bullet in the bulls eye is worth ten
that just miss it.
The man who earns his bread finds
sweetness in it that the loafer never
knows.
Go down the ladder when thou
marriest wife; go up when thou
choosest a friend.
Incessant application produces re-
suits that some attribute to inspira-
ton and genius. Tie .S0ukH- Wesk.

KEEP THE BICYCLE.

AS Bloomsburg has large number
of bicyclists, the wheels representing
nearly every make in the country,
and for the benefit of the riders who
have determined to put aside theil
wheels until spring and settled
weather have arrived, we offer a few
suggestions.
The first thing to be considered is
the storage. A cold and damp place
should not be used. In such a place
the spokes and nickeled parts would
surely rust. Some riders fail to clean
the bearings OF their machines often
er than once a year but it is abso-
lutely necessary for them to DO this
before the wheel is laid away. 1he
parts should be separated and thor
oughly cleaned. The chain should
be rubbed until not particle of grit
remains. Then vasellne should be
applied to the nickeled parts, and
they should be wrapped in greasy
cloth. A If these directions, which are
from an experienced wheelman, are
carried out, the bicycle when mount
ed by its rider some months hence,
will move off easily and noiselessly,
like new machine.

Nothing On But a Sock.
A Wlliamsport Man Creates a Sensation on
Friday.

Sensation and CONSERVATION was
created on Third street, last Friday
noon, by the appearance of man on
that thoroughfare in an entirely nude
condition with the exception of one
sock. The man was Thomas J. King,
supervisor for the street car company,
who resides at II9 Mulberry street,
ard who, while suffering from delirium,
had escaped unnoticed from the house.
King was around the house as usual
that morning and about noon started
to take bath, and while the bathing
operation was in progress he evidently
became delirious. With nothing on
but sock he left the house, and 60
ing out to Third street he started up
the south side Of that thoroughfare on
a sort of dog trot. There were
many people on the street at that time,
but as the man had rather wild look
everybody appeared to be afraid to
stop him. King proceeded up Third
street, through Market square and as
far as the Bush & Bull Cos. store,
where he was caught by James B.
Dentworth, w. Q. Lloyd, and one or
two other gentleman who escorted
him into the hallway nearby and up
the stairs to the Office of Max l..
Mitchell, Esq.
AS soon as possible clothes were
procured for the unfortunate man and
he was taken in charge by DIR. Max
Reinbold. -Williamsport NezoS.

PRESERVING CORN FODDER.
For Two Years Past Experiments We're
Made to Determine the Best Method.

For Two Years Past Experiments We're
Made to Determine the Best Method.
A report from the Vermont Agricul-
tural Experiment station says for two
years past experime1 $ were conducted
to determine the best method OF pre-
serving the corn plant for winter use.
Four methods were tried. First. whole
ensllage was made by running the new.
ly cut corn through cutter, reducing
1t to one-half inch lengths, then put
ting It into the silo. Second, the cars
were husked. cribbed, dried. GROUND
cob and all, and fed in connection with
the stalks, which had been previously
cut and made into ensilage; this was
called stover ensilage and meal. Third
the fodder was preserved in large
shocks and before feeding was run
through a cutter, ears and all, and cui
into one-half inch lengths. Fourth, the
corn was husked from the fodder
ground with the cob and fed with the
stover, after 1t had been run through
the cutter as needed from time to time
Samples from the material preserved
by the different methods were careful
ly analyZed, and the fodder was fed tc
herd of fourteen milk cows. 1t was
found that each of the methods pre-.
served about four-fifths OF the dry mat.
ter harvested, the loss from each being
practically the same in quality and in
character. The folders kept in the
shock lost more and more dry matter
as the winter progressed The ears in
the silo during the last test lost more
of their food value than those preserv.
a N nj hain ha ra-
verse of previous test. The relative
cost of placing the same amount of dry
matter in the manger was greatly in
favor OF whole ensilage. Time and
money spent in husking and grinding
the ears were wasted, as better results
were obtained when the ears were left
on the stalk. The ensilages were rel.
ished much better by the cows and
they did better upon them.
Equal quantities of milk and butter
were made by feeding whole ensilage
or stover ensilage and meal. The cows
ate less dry matter from whole ensilags
to produce the same amounts of butter
and milk. consequently the whole en-.
silage lasted longest and resulted in
the greatest quantity of dairy product
There were but ninety-one or ninety
two pounds of milk and butter pro-
duced by given amount Of stover en-.
silage and meal to 100 pounds obtained
from the same amount of dry matter
in the whole ensilage ration.
In the main, these results agree with
those of a former trial at the Ver-
mont station, and confirm the opinion
of many that nothing Is equal to en-.
Silage as a rough winter dairy feed

Don't worry when he talks about

Don: talk about your old lovers

of them had you.
Don't leave your children entirely

their behavior.
Don't forget that they are little
better than the fascinating lapdog.
Don't be cross and irritable when
a little patience may save family
quarrel.

seventy are rejected. Thus one OF

BANK CONSOLIDATION.

One of the most noteworthy facts in
the business world is the tendency to
bank constellation Recently two of the
largest national banks in New York
were consolidated and it is reported that
the example set by these two institutions
may be followed by others in that city.
Tho feeling there is that the competi-
tion i'm the banking business has been
too great, that there Is more money in
vested in bank stocks than the business
justiiies and that it would be far better
IL some of the struggling banks We're
to come together and seek to increase
their business by union of their re-
sources and opportunities, instead of
maintaining n struggle in which they
are just able to keep their heads above
water. Consultations of banks have
been made in Washington and in Kansas
City and there Is talk of some of the
banks of Boston consolidating
An official of the New York consoli-
dated banks said that one of the chief
reasons for the action taken by these in
stitutions is the long business
depression and the apprehension that
there may be no immediate relief from
this condition. There is a steady
accumulation of idle money in the
principal financial centers and the
comparatively moderate demand for
money at these centers has made the
business of banking Improbable. AT
least such is the testimony of the bank
efs and there seems no reason to doubt
IT, One of the New York banks had u
large capital and had accumulated a fine
line of deposits, yet it was unable to
earn money enough TO pay any dividends
and this Is said 10 ba the experience
Omaha daily bee., 1897-05-30

of good many of the banks OF that
city during the past three or four years
Another thing that has unfavorabiy af.
fected the national banks is the growth
of trust companies, which are able to
do anything with their resources that
Is legal while the banks are restricted
These companies find opportunities for
the employment of their capital which
the banks cannot avail themselves of
and they have been the money makers
in recent years.
There have been hundreds of bank
failures since the business depression
begun and many have gone into volun-
tary liquidation. OF course 1ew banks
have been established, but still the
number of national banks in the United
States is less now than four years ago
and the signs indicate further de
crease. Such facts refute the assertion
of the enemies of the national banks
that they are veritable gold mines,
making their stockholders rich by plum
dering the public. Undoubtedly there
are banks that make money, but as
whole these institutions have not for
several years found their business
largely profitable.

Where the paintve note of the sad whip

Echoes soft on the breeze, is a lonely grave
Where sleeps in its silence soldier brave.
The green grasses wave on his long, narrow

The branches bend low DER this couch of the

And. the dewdrop falls like mothers tear
In silent grief on his lonely bier.
The light rains in passing their reveile beat
And fall on the grass like the treading Of
The winds blow their bugles, but no ranks
form in line
And the banner droops low from the top of
the pine.
The clang of wars weapons no more will he
hear,
The charge. of the foe no more will be fear,
The conflict and strife for n:m are all past,
And the wearisome marches are ended az
last.

Like hero he fought, like hero he died;
With his white hands now folded across the

While a sentinel watch the pine tree will
keep
Ger our soldier brave in his dreamless

ARGUMENT 4 La CHINESE.

The Chinese Equal Rights league of
America, by its president, has issued an
appeal to the public asking cooperation
in its efforts to remove the legal barriers
that have been imposed upon Ameri-
canized Cinnamon preventing them. from
becoming enfranchised citizens of the
United States. The appeal is unqlies-
tionably the genuine article, as attest the
signatures of Wong Chin Foo, president,
and Tom Yuen, secretary, and also the
unreadable hieroglyphics that have
doubtless been adopted as the official
seal of the new organization
The burden of the complaint of the
1882 an outrageous law was smuggled
into congress and hastily passed and
| almost as hastily signed by the then
president of the United States, Hon.
Benjamin Harrison, by which the rights
and liberties of nearly Il quarter of a
million lawful and industrious people of
the United States were swept away
arbitrarily and unconditionally for all
time to Gomez Aside from the
eXcusable slip of ante-dating the presi-
dency of Benjamin Harrison ten years
in order to make him responsible for the
original Geary law, it is plain that our
Chinese friends are grossly exaggerating
their number and Importance The
greatest Chinese population the federal
census ever revealed was 1O7, ,475 in 1890
and the increase since then cannot have
been more than few thousand.
1t is generally admitted that congress
Went to extremes with the exclusion law
In discriminating against the Chinese
an. its rough edges will have to be
smoothed down eventually to accord to
the Chinese already here better protec-
tion and greater privileges. But when
Cinnamon residing in this country insist

them and assert that they are entitled to
| complete recognition as American citi-
| zens they are starting the argument
