just as an evidence of good faith.
"Never mind, DEAR" consoled the
mother, who had been through the mill
herself. "It's not worth worrying

I'm not worrying, and don't you

The best Percy will ever get from me
is cold bow of recognition when we

GOLD BRICK IN DISGUISE.

It has been discovered that once
magnificent testimonial which was pre-
sented by the citizens of Baton Rouge
TO the steamer City CT Baton Rouge.
nearly 20 years ago, Is nothing but a
gold brick, reports the St. Louis Repub-
lie. Recently the assets of the St. Louis
and Anchor line were sold at auction.
Among the goods was what appeared to
be silver water pitcher, On which was
considerable handsome engraving,
showing that 1t had been presented to
the steamer by the citizens of the town
after which the boat was named. Short
ly before the sale commenced an old river
pilot told story about the pitcher
that caused spirited bidding when it
was offered for sale. The pilots story
was that 16s citizens of Baton Rouge
had each contributed silver dollar TO
be melted down and made into the tes-
timonial. At the auction sale all the
spectators figured on getting this
S16S worth of silver very cheaply. The
price was soon run up to $40, and it was
knocked down to a well-known specu-
lator. Soon after the sale the owner of
the pitcher discovered that the prize
was made of common pewter and was
worth about 81.

A SOLDIERS QUALIFICATIONS.

The government is not going to re-
peat the mistake of 1861 by underrat-
ing the seriousness of the occasion that
now confronts US. Instead of $4,000
troops enlisted for 80 days, the War
Department will Immediately organize
an army of ZOO 600 men, armed and
equipped for three years service.
These men will be selected very care
fully and it is likely that the present
number of recuiting stations will be
increased.
The present requirements for enlist
ment in the army, as specified in recent
instructions from the War Department,
are as follows:
Applicants for enlistment must be
between the ages of 81 and 80 years,
unmarried, Of good character and hab-
its, able bodied, free from disease, and
must be able to speak, read and write
the English language.
minors are not enlisted, except
boys between the ages of 16 and is,

"Original eplistments are confined tc

tion of their intention TO become citiz
ems thereof.
Applicants are required to satisfy
the recuiting officer regarding age anc
character, and should be prepared Il

not more than 100 pounds.
For cavalry the height must be no

If the need of troops becomes NOR

Peculiar Funeral curtoms.

Swiss funeral customs are most pecul-
lar. At the death of person the family
inserts formal, black-edged announce
ment in the papers asking for sym
pathy and stating that 'the mourning
urn" will be exhibited during certain
hours on special day. In front of the
house where the person died there is
placed little black table, covered with
a black cloth, on which stands black
jar. Into this the friends and acquaint-
ances of the family drop little black
margined visiting cards, sometimes
with few words of sympathy on them.

The People1Receive the News of spain's
Declaration of War
When the news reached Marietta
Thursday afternoon that Spain had
indignantly resented the resolutions of
the American Congress and declared
war on the United States, the deep i'm
port of the message was not underesti-
mated. The last lingering hope for a
peaceful adjustment had vanished and
all realized that at last we stood face
to face with the grim reality of war.
The first general notice of the declara-
tion was given by the fire department
tapping the Zig bell for several min
utes, and it was not long until every
body caught its meaning.
While the news was received on all
sides with gravity there was not want
ing fine display Of patriotism and the
flags all oyer the city came out as if by
magic Towards evening the streets
were covered by little knots of men all
discussing the news with eagerness. A

There is an ancient tradition that
the king who made Joseph his prime
minister and committed into his hands
the entire administration of Egypt was
Apepi. Apepi was one of the sheP-
herd kings and ruled over the whole
of Egypt, as Joseph's Pharaoh seems
TO have done. The prime minister, dur
ing seven years of remarkable plenty,
bought up every bushel of corn beyond
the absolute needs of the Egyptians
and stored it. During the terrible fam
inc that followed, he was sure to get
his own price, and bartered corn suc-
cessfully for the Egyptians money.

AN EARLY SETTLER,

On Monday Sheriff Ritter handed
to us the inscription from a head
stone located on Samuel Wittcnmy-
er's farm east of misplace in Frank
lin township. A hundred years ago
it was the custom to bury man up
on his own plantation. The inscrip,-
ton is in German, but in English
characters as follows:
"Hier Ruhet Nicolas Mertz ge-
bohren den s August l74S. Ges-
torben den 81 Horning, 1901 and is
alt warden 80 yahr 6 monath and
wochen."
The marker is a sand stone about
8 feet high, 20 inches wide and !
inches thick. Nicolas Mertz, the
deceased, is the great grandfather OF
John, Aaron and David Stahlneckel
of this place. In tax list of l791
of the citizens OF Penn township
which then included nearly all o.
Snyder County, we find the name
of Nicholas Mertz, charged s2.4t
county tax. In a road tax list, 1896
we find him charged with sl.5l.
Samuel Wittenmyer of this plac'
remembers of older people saying
that Mr.. Mcrtz was a very stou
man and required coffin so larg
that the door tacings had to be re
moved in order to remove the corps
from the house.

some letters in connection with the
case, and asked witness II handwriting
experts would be able to identify the
writing of a person laboring under
great excitement. Mrs. Botkin also
spoke Of a number of letters sent to
Mrs. Dunning. and said they were sent
by q woman in San Francisco.
