A translation of what purports
to be report made by the
Roman Governor of the Cruel
fixion has just been published
He gives an account of his
interview with Jesus in which he
at first requested, and then ordered
Him to observe more moderation in
his discourses, and promised pro-
lection and that his palace of Justice
should be open as an Asylum. To
this.the Nazarene with a divine smile
replied lit is not in your power to
arrest the victim at the Altar of ex-
piation, and disappeared like a
bright shadow behind the curtains
of the palace. PLATE then describes
the steps taken by him to avert the
death of Jesus at the hands of the
rabDle. If the report is authentic
PLATE was greatly troubled and
would gladly have prevented the
death of Christ, but he afirms that
he found himself, with a handful of
veterans in the midst of rebellious
city too weak to suppress a disorder,
and having no other choice left but
to tolerate it. He says the seditions
rabble had seized Jesus, and al
though they felt they had nothing
TO fear from the Pretorium, believ-
ing with their leaders that 1 winked
at their sedition, continued vocifera
ting, Cruelty him Cruelty him !
The parchment describes vividly the
civil commotion into which Jerusa-
lem was plunged, and the furious
animosity of the multitude as the
crowd was borne along, whirling and
rolling like living waves from the
portals of the Pretorium to Mount
Zion. He then describes the coming
of Joseph of Arimathea and the
weeping women to beg of him per-
mission to bury Jesus of Nazareth,
to which he gave assent and ordered
his general Manlius to go and take
some soldiers with him lest the in
terment should be interfered with.

FARMERS INSTITUTES.

Farmers keep in mind the insti-
tutes to be held in Pike county at
Milford Feb. 14th and at Dingmans
Ferry, Feb. Is, 1898. w. L. Nesbit
will not be present as heretofore
announced and his place will be sup
piled by @. L. Peck, of Potter
county, whose subjects relate to
dairying and the use of farm ma
nures. Hon. N. b. Critchheld, of
Somerset county, and Enos II. Hess,
of the State College. will also be
present.
Every trade and business in these
times requires the most watchful
care to ensure even a measure of
success, and this statement is parti-
cularly true of farming. The farm
waste must be prevented and every
economy of method practiced in or
der to obtain satisfactory results.
Bat small outlay of time is neces-
sary to attend these Institutes and
many valuable hints and sugges-
tions may be obtained. 1t win pay
in more ways than one to be present
and take part in the proceedings.

The three. year-old boy Of j. A.
johnson, of Lynn Center, ILL.,, is
subject to attacks of Group. Mr.
johnson says he is satisfied that the
timely use of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, during a severe attack,
saved his little boys life. He is in
the drug business, a member of the
firm of johnson Bros, of that place
and they handle great many
patent medicines for throat and
lung diseases. He had all these to
choose from, and skilled physicians
ready to respond to his call, but
selected this remedy for use i'll his
own family at a time when his
child's life was in danger, because
he knew it to be superior to any
other, and famous the country over
for its cures of Group Mr.. johnson
says this is the best selling cough

The boy raised ON a farm has a
better chance in life than the city
bred boy. This is our profound con-
viction after years of experience and
observation in city and country with
young men in wide range of in
dustries. The farm-bred boy almost
invariably has the better oonstitu-
tion-those elements of good health
and ability to stand hard work that
mean so much in this life. He is
usually endowed with stronger
moral character. We are shocked
if country lad in our employ goes
wrong city youth are more likely
to be suspected. Absolute integrity
was never in greater demand in
young men.
The city boy often has a pertness
or ''smart" air that country youth
do not possess. But the latter more
frequently develop the manly sub
stantial carriage that denotes real
character. His mind is better train
cd than the average town boys.
He may not be quite as glib in his
book learning, but the farm bred
boy, taught in Natures school to
observe and understand, has a rare
foundation upon which to build a
knowledge of industry, art, science
or any branch of farming.
The boy on the farm doesn't ap-
preciate all this, but he ought to be
thankful for his country life AT
ter he has had some years of expert
ence in other vocations, he will rea-
lize how true these words are. The
farm is the place to rear a family

ant town in Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Delaware and Maryland, and at every
news center in the United States and the

No other Philadelphia paper
equals The Press in its special de-
partments-the woman's page the
literary page the market page the
pages devoted to church news,
school news, society news, G.. A. r..
news, sporting news, etc.
The Press is an advocate of the
principlesNof the Republican party.

One Of the advantages of L. A.
W. membership is a small life in
surance, the heirs of any subscriber
to the official organ who is killed in
or dies as the result of a bicycle ac-
cident being entitled to 800. The
first claim Of this kind in Pennsyl-
vania was paid tive weeks ago, to the
father of Willoughby X. Butter

juries received in an accident which
occurred at Eighteenth and Oxford

DUN's Review states that the pres
ent business in the boot and shoe
line surpasses all records in ship
ments from the East for Novembers,
being 27 per cent. larger than in tho
prosperous period of 1892, and that
the total for the year will probably
be the greatest ever known. Tho
works are running full capacity and
the host of urgent demands would
seem to indicate an inability to sat
isfy the demand.

AMERICAN manufactures continue
to be popular abroad despite
the assertion that protection
would make them unpopular
The London Economist, of recent
date, says that England is becom-
ing large purchaser of American
manufactures, especially in iron
and steel lines, and that English
manufacturers must cheaper their
cost of production if they are to
hold their ground against the Ameri-
can competitor.

BEWARE OF sHARpERs.

This is the season when the peri
patetic vendor of wares is going
around like roaring lion seeking
whom he may devour, and he finds
many victims. 1t may be pictures,
cheap chromos, he offers as fine oil
paintings, or he will enlarge the
photograph of some member of the
family, life size, very cheap, or he
will sell you some useful article, or
remnants of cloth at a ridiculously
low figure, or perhaps it may be
gold brick of some other kind, any
way it is a scheme to get your hard
earned dollars for less than their
value. Reputable merchants in
your own town will sell you goods
at a reasonable profit, and then if
any thing is wrong you can have it
made satisfactory. With the trave-
ling seller it is different, you must
pocket the l. IS because he has de
parted for other pastures. Patro-
nize those who advertise in your
home paper, and beware of the men
who insist ON giving you something
for nothing. They don't do it.
They manage to get the something
and you will most likely be richer
in only one thing-experience.

The English statistician Mulhall
has disappointed the free-traders by
pointing out the fact that the ex-
portations of the United States have
increased three times as fast as the
population during the protective
tariff period. Mr.. Mulhall shows in
recently published article that
while the increase in population in
the past twenty years has been 5s
per cent, the increase in the value
of expectations has been 175 per
cent.

KEEP THE BOY AMBITIOUS.

Many of us have seen the discon
tented boy making a pretense of
picking up stones or potatoes, or
perhaps sulkily working his way
across an onion or turnip field and
We know something of his value in
the economy of farm. And on the
other hand. we are all more or less
acquainted with the resolate, ener-
getic boy, whose limbs never seem
to tire, and whose great ambition
is to do the work of a man. One
such boy, who is striving to do all
he can, is worth a dozen of those
who are striving to do as little as
possible. And yet the two boys are
primarily the same.
We coax the restive or refractory
horse, and do not think time wasted
in training him to usefulness and
yet some of us are unwilling to do
as much for the boys who are being
fitted for the higher and more intel
ligent work of the farm. We all
like good stock and good land, and
good seed-especially the last, for
that is the secret of success. But
of all seeds which yield satisfaction
and prosperity, there are none SC
sure as the judicious sowing of read
ing matter and games for the long
winter evenings, an occasional half
holiday during the summer, when
the boys nerves are strained and
overwrought by continual hard
work, and social, familiar CONVERSE
ton at all times. Make him feel
that he has a personal interest in
the farm, and is not a mere de-
pendent, and he will come out all
right.
Remember that work is well done
when the laborer's heart is in it,
but when the heart strays the work

CARELESSNESS WITH FIRE
ARMS.


ARMS.
The recent unfortunate accident
by which a young man in the full
flower of health and strength was
stricken down again emphasizes the
careless use and handling of fire
arms. A gun is dangerous, deadly
thing and that fact should always
be borne in mind by those carrying
or using them, either alone or in
company with others. There is no
safety unless the utmost caution is
constantly exercised. We have
seen men carry loaded guns on their
shoulders in the woods with the
muzzle pointing forward, as well as
in various other dangerous posi-
tions. The papers TEEN with ac-
counts of more or less severe acct
dents from carelessness with guns
and pistols, and yet men and boys
go on wounding or killing them
selves or others in the same care
less manner.
When will they learn to exercise
the necessary care and proper re-
gard for life and limb ?

A Common
Cold

and common carelessness can make a
combination strong enough to defy
all the healing skill of the physician.
Common carelessness lets the cold
root and grow. Common carelessness
says, between paroxysms of cough
ing, 1T will be all right in day or
two," and the common end is con-
frmed lung trouble, perhaps con-
sumption. The common-sense treat
ment of a common cold is a prompt
dose of Ayers Cherry Pectoral. It
is the most efficient and reliable cure
for cclds and coughs, and is con-
stantly prescribed by physicians.
S. HAYNES, N. D., Saranac, N. Y, says =
"Ihave used Ayers Cherry Pectoral in my
practice since 1865, ard have always found
it reliable for the cure Of colds, coughs, and
all lung diseases"
