Going To Tear Out Dams.

This week special sheriffs deputies
will start work on tearing out fish
dams in the Susquehanna between
the mouths of Mahontongo and Cone
WACO creeks. There are nearly 200
to be demolished notably at Dauphln,
Rockville and opposite the lower enc
of this city.
Every year or so this work is start
ed, but the dams reappear and then
there is another proclamation anc
more talk about the matter.
The above is taken from a Harris
burg paper, and applies equally as
well to this and adjoining counties
The river is full of fish dams above
here, most of them being in Luzerns
county.

The Jewish New Year.

The Jewish new year 565S began
on Monday last. The day being
known as the first of the month Tisri.
The Israelites, Carthaginians, Egypt
ians, Persians, Syrians and other
eastern people commenced their year
about the autumnal equinox. The
Greeks previous to Menton's time
commenced their year at the winter
solstice, and then changed it to the
summer soltice. The Romans were
the first people to adopt January I as
the commencement of the year. The
French until 1864 commenced their
year in March or April and the
Russians reckoned September I until
Peter the Greats time.
The primitive nations followed the
seasons of the year in making their
divisions of time, while modern peo'
pie use the sun computations. Most
civilized nations divide the year in
quarters, but according to Genesis
the Israelites divided their year into
seasons viz, seed time and harvest,
cold and heat, summer and winter,
and Golius writes of the same divl-
sions now existing among the Arabs.
Frequently the years varied IN
length. Sometimes the revolution OF
one planet was taken and sometimes
.L,. of ,nothar The d72OOo wears
of the Chaldean empire are generally
| considered as being equivalent to al
! most I2e6 modern years, and the
100000 years of Babylon equal to
1912 of our years.
In all countries the beginning OF a
| new year has been regarded as a
holiday and Hebrews all over the
world celebrated Monday as the be-
ginning of another period in thelr
long annals.

RICH YET UNFORTUNATE.
Miserable Plight Under Spanish
Rule aud Hint at What Her Pros-
perity Would BE Under Wise Cow

W. f. Curtis, in Chicago Record.
Not only Cuba, but Spain also, is
bankrupt. The industries which have
brought the greatest degree of wealth
and prosperity are practically ruined.
The tobacco fields are laid waste. The
cane fields are in a great measure de-
stroyed and the bateys, as they call
the machinery houses and plants, have
been blown up and are in ruins. In
stead Of her natural products of H.
900 tons of sugar, Cuba will produce
this year about 25, 900 or 10000 tons. In
that particular alone the annual reve-
nues of the planters will be reduced
$50, 900. Instead of the usual crop
of molasses, worth 81, ,5OO,O 900, not more
than ten per cent. will be produced.
The output of tobacco, cigars and cigar
cites, which usually amounts to $685.
000,00O will be reduced to $500, 900. The
exports of fruits, vegetables, etc, which
usually amount to SJ,000000, will not be
more than Sl,OOO,OOO this year. while
the output of iron ore will be reduced
more than one-half.
The foreign commerce for 1897 will
not amount to more than one-fourth
of the annual average, which will rep

business interests of Cuba approaching
$70,000,0 900. This is not only due to the
interruption of labor, but to the de-
struction of capital, and Cuba will be
compelled to live on borrowed money
for many years to come. The people
realize that they cannot induce for
eigners TO invest or to loan funds in
Cuba so long as present conditions ex-
list On the other hand, If this revolu-
tion should be put down they know
that there will be another very soon.

What a position for the wife! She, a
lady of gentle blood, cast into a common
Jail for thieves and felons, and by her
own husband. How could she ever hft
her head again? The horror of 1t, the
shame of it was so terrible she could
hardly realize it was not some dreadful
dream. She would not live with this dis
grace upon her; she would beat her brains
out against the walls; but there was that
silent Indian woman crouching in the
corner watching her, and she could not.
| Like one distracted Donna Dolores walked
! the floor, and then dropped down upon
the hard cot to break into a torrent OF
tears. When the force of her weeping

Now, when the days had heightened, tn
ripe figs were falling in the mission gar
