A CONSOLIDATION.
The Etna- Standard AbsOrbes the
Junction Iron Company.
Stock Will be Paid for by
Rtna-Standard Stock, at Sixteen
Per Cent. Premium-The Atna-
Standard is Now the Largest
Concern in the Valley, With a
Capital Of Three Million.

For some weeks past negotiations
have been in progress between the
MANAGEMENT of the Aetna-Standard
Company and the Junction Iron and
Seel Company for the absorption OF
the plant of the latter company by the
former. and Friday the details were
completed. The property Of the juno
ton Company, it is understood, is tax
en- over at the price of 500, 900, and is
paid for by new stock of the Aetna
Standard. at sixteen premium. inns
puts the total stock of the Aetna
Standard up to the three million mark,
and makes it the largest industrial en-
terprise in this valley. The Aetna
Standard stockholders are called to
meet on the Both inst. to ratify the issue
of new stock-$7OO,OOO.
The purpose of the purchase, or
rather the main purpose, is to give the
Aetna-Standard its own steel plant
and furnace, and the excellent plant
now in existence will be supplemented
by the erection of an open hearth
plant. This will give the Aetna-Stand-
ard a very complete all-around equip
ment, and will greatly facilitate man
ufacturing. as we'll as making possible
certain economies not heretofore pos
sible. The deal is one of the largest ever
taking place in this vicinity.

A Queer Fact About Vision,

In the eye itself certain things may
go on which give us wrong sensations,
which, although not truly illusions, are
very much like them. Thus, when we
suddenly strike our heads or faces
against something in the dark we see
stars" or bright sparks. which we
know are not real lights, though they
are quite as bright and sparkling as il
they were. When we close one eye and
look straight ahead at some word or let
ter in the middle Of this page, for ex-
ample, We seem to see not only the
thing we are looking at, but everything
else Immediately about it and for long
way on each side. But the truth is
there is large round spot somewhere
near the point at which we are looking
in which we see nothing. Curiously
enough, the existence Of this blind spot
was not discovered by accident, and no.
body ever suspected it until Mariotte
reasoned from the construction of the
eyeball that it must exist and proceeded
to find it.-Harrison Wilson, NJ. D., in
st. Nicholas.

Hot Drinks For Thirst.

1t is a mistake to suppose that cold
drinks are necessary to relieve thirst.
Very cold drinks, as a rule, increase the
feverish condition of the mouth and
stomach and SO create thirst. Expert
ence shows it to be fact that hot
drinks relieve the thirst and "cool off,
the body when it is in an abnormally
heated condition better than ice cold
drinks. 1t is far better and safer to
avoid the use Of drinks below 60 de-
grees In fact, higher temperature is
to be preferred, and those who are much
troubled with thirst will do well to try
the advantages to be derived from hot
drinks. instead Of cold fluids, to which
they have been accustomed. Hot drinks
also have the advantage Of aiding di-
gestion, instead Of causing debility Of
the stomach and bowelsL-New York

At this moment thousands of men are
standing at the crossroads of life. Death
IN the guise of a foolish ambition coaxes
them to take one road, while health and
happiness IN the form of wife and babies
coax them to take the other For the sake
of few added dollars will they continue to
over-work and neglect the commonest pre-.
cautions for the preservation of health, or
will they listen to love and reason and draw
back before 1t is too late? A man may do
almost any amount of good, hard work if he

feels out of sorts will take the right remedy.
