@s Ss IO4 Years Old and Has Not GaaaD
 to Bed In Twenty Years.


 yohn Pooler of Waterville, Me, xE i04 years of age. He is the fortunaEe possessor of nearly all of his faeuItiea MT. Pooler was born in St. Francis, Canada, being GIG of five children, fonI of whom are living now and in fairly good health. These arc Ephraim, aged l02; Frank, go; George, 76, and John. 1O4, making an aggregate of 3Sl years, with an average of 95 years to man. The father of these children, John Pooler, was a soldier i'll the late rebol- lion and also served i'll the war of 1SlSp but has long since passed to the other world. He was well to do farmer, and as such brought mp three of his sons. His namesake, however, would have no farming ill his, and after serving an apprenticeship of 8e years he married Sophia Lacome and moved to Water vile. This was at time when that place was known as Winslow, and when, as John says, there were but three houses ill tho hamlet.
 Mrs. Pooler is IS years younger than her husband and looks only SO She fs rather robust and seems yonng beside her husband, whom she deems a very old man, as she is but s6, and of this she reminds him frequently.
 Mr. Poolor says he has not been to led for 20 years, which is accounted for by his inability to breathe when lying down. But, as he says, after one gets Dsed to sitting ID it is more convenient, ,s one does net have to take off his clothes and can go out for walk at any slime, day or night When asked how old any of his relatives had lived to Do: he remarked that he did not recall whether it was his grandfather or his great t-erandfather who did not die until he was l8G. For his part, he sees no special reason why he might not live so b. as old. Boston Herald

If you pump bad blood into tue lungs you will have weak lungs Pump bad blood into the liver, and the result is torpidity of the liver. Feed the heart on impure blood, and the consequence is weak heart Nourish the skin with impure blood, and 1he result is all manner of unsightly skin diseases
 The best of all known blood purifiers is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It makes the appetite hearty, the digestion perfect, the liver active and fills the arteries with the rich, red blood of health. It is the great blood=maker and flesh builder. It cures all forms of eruptive skin diseases. It cures e9 per cent. of all cases of con- sumption. It cures bronchitis, weak lungs, spitting of blood, obstinate coughs and kindred ailments. It gives vigor and health to Che muscles and activity to the brain. Thousands have testified to the benefits derived from the use of this wonderful medicine. All medicine stores sell it.
 Mrs. Ella Howell of Derby, Perry Co, Ind, writes ]" In the year of 1894 was taken with stomach trouble nervous dyspepsia There was coldness in my stomach and weight which seemed like a rock. Everything that ate gave Tle great pain; had bearing down sensation; was sweiied across my stomach; had ridge around my right side, and i'll a short time I was bloated.

Arc Married.
 A small hamlet across the river from Goalburg, w. Va, is known as Shrews- bury. Its only distinguishing featurs has been the multiplicity of it's widows. Some were old and some were buxom. There was 16.year-old and one of 30.
 Most of them were childless, but sev. eral had one or more remembrances of the one dead. Two grass widows were in the group, and one other had a glass eye. Several had money, two or three 8 farm, one owned q grorery store and five or six had a pension.

 There was one elopement A girlish widow of t0, with bangs, went down tho river with boy coal miner, but she was determined not to be left Squires caught eight or ton couples, and minis ters had few who gave 9 cents for tha ceremony.
 A lot of rooms with board for eligible widows can be had cheap at ShreMs. bury, and a number of unincumbered men, weary of single life, are willing to exchange their foIlorn condition for the smiles of not too old or exactinH widow.

Petitions don't seem to count for
much with our law makers in some
cases. especially when it comes To intcr-
fcring with the liquor business. The
temperance people of Pennsylvania
circulated petitions over the state, to
which they received Il large number of
signatures, asking the General Assembly
Of the State to pass an act to prohibit
treating to Intoxicating liquors Just
why the representatives of the people
refused TO pass such II law, for we think
Il was good one, we will not attempt
to explain. but the bill was killed. how
ever. ON the final passage in the Senate
hast Wednesday. The Philadelphia
REGARD says: mo friend of temperance
need feel called upon to exhibit grief AT
The defeat Of the bill to prohibit treat
ing. That the custom Of buying
liquors for ones friends and acquaint-
ances is vicious is generally agreed. but
there IL no assertivc sentiment demand
ing Il prohibitivo enactment Of this
character, and in the absence Of such
sentiment the operation Of such law
would prove farcial. There are enough
laws of II dead letter sort already on the
statute book without increasing the list
by others of II still-born character"
We believe the temperanc, people have
reason to be gi'ieved at the defeat Of
the BILL but the temperance people
were not the only ones interested in the
passage of this act. Men who drink
liquor and know that the 'custom Of
buying liquor for ones friends and
acquaintances is vicious" and that it
has been the starting point many times
for men to partake too frequently from
debts and lambeth him in the bosom Of
his family in IA beastly intoxicated con-
dition. were interested in the passage
of this bill Next to the curse of drink
ing the liquor itself is the treating
systom. The men who treat and are
treated need no argument to convince
them that II such law was passed that
it would save many a man from spending
his hard earned money for liquor which
his family needed for bread and cloth
ing. The long list Of petitioners is not
considered ''assertive sentiment" by
the Record. 1t may have proven a dead
letter law, but our law makers are
passing many another act that will be
Importance to the people. The dead
letter. excuse offered by the Record is
pretty thin. Why not have given the
petitioners the satisfaction of knowing
that there is such law by passing it
even If it would only have been dead
letter?

Governor Hastings has issued pro-
clamation fixing Friday, April 0, and
Friday, April %, as ArbOr Days. The
Governor says. "The custom of annual
ly fixing day to be celebrated as Arbor
Day, has spread into every section OF
the country. The value of these
celebrations has been abundantly mani
fest. In the state which claims the
honor Of having originated Arbor Day,
more than $50, ,000, 900 trees were planted
during the first five years. The cere-
monies incident to ArbOr Day have
created increased interest in the growth
and care of trees, and have quickened
the appreciation and Importance of
forest preservation. Tho necessity of
covering with new growth of trees
the otherwise useless areas OF our State
is apparent in every section. To this
end our law makers have appropriate
legislation in progress. Young and old
more than ever appreciate that there is
nota spot on earth which may not be
made more beautiful by the help of
trees and flowers. School grounds have
been adorned, the surroundings of the
home have been beautified, public parks
have been multiplied and the landscapes
and charming scenery OF Pennsylvania
may yet be made still more attractive.
We are rapidly passing from destruc-
tive to constructive policy. We have
learned the. lesson that trees and the
forests are essential to our continued
prosperity, and that he who plants q
tree, whether boy or man, Is a public
benefactOr."
