To Treat Consumption.

The Board Of Directors of the Penn
sylvania Society for the prevention of
tuberculosis has secured site for
the establishing of State sanitarium
for the treatment of consumption in
its incipient stages, and steps have
already been taken to secure the SIS
900 necessary toward the erection of
the buildings.
The site secured is near White
Haven, Luzerne county, not far from
Glen Summit, and contains nearly
600 acres. 1t is on the Blue Ridge
slope, and is 1900 feet above the sea
level. The climate is dry and the
locality naturally adapted for sani-
tarium. The hospital will consist Of
five pavilions, each capable of accom-
modating from fifteen to twenty patti
ents. State aid is to be solicited and
bill appropriating 100000 to the
society is to be introduced during the
coming session. 1t is proposed to
make the institution absolutely free,
although at later date extra pavil-
ions will be erected for patients who
desire more private apartments.

Frank N. Moore, special agent of
the department of agriculture, while
going the rounds OF the candy trade,
discovered in the analysis on candy
that large per centage contained
rum and brandy. This candy sells
for 4o and 50 cents a pound, and the
dealers say it is largely sought after by
boys and girls between the ages often
and sixteen. Mr.. Moore also had a
sample of rock and rye drops which
got its name from the fact that no
rock and rye was found in its ingred-
tents, but instead contained liberal
quantity of tartaric acid.

Since the announcement was made
that the term of Nathan G. Schaeffer,
State Superintendent of Schools, ex-
pires in June, and that there was
already in the field an applicant for
the position, the work Of the chief OF

the review of the press Of the State.
Many comments have been made on
the excellency of DR.. Schaeffer's ad-
ministration, and there has been NO
protest as yet against his re-appoint
ment. The newspapers in Pennsylva-

A Little Girls Riddle.

Several children were asking riddles
the other day, and a bright little gill
who listened got the idea o; what a
riddle was. The next day SHIT went to
her father and said, There wasa blind
and curtains on pole and the pole fell
and two men laughed The father
promptly gave it up when she said,
Don't you see the pointY" U on being
answered in the negative she puzzled
her brains for awhile, and saio, "Nei.
ther do l." She is now practising on
riddles that have some meaning in
them.
