NORMAN M'LEOD LAID AT REST.
Services Conducted in the First
presbyterinn Church Parsonage.

The appalling and relentless force Of
the thought that death hath thou
sand doors to let out life,' has never
appeared more insstently to the deep
est feeling i'm this community than re-
Gently under the many serious allie
tions It has suffered.
Yesterday the beautiful new home of
the pastor of the First Presbyterian
church received a dedication of tears
as over the threshold was borne the
only son after his brief home coming.
The boyish face lay smiling from the
enCircling bower Of flowers, not as il
this was last unending holiday when
the parting meant more than one heart
break, as the hopes of years must be
hidden away beneath the caskct lid.
The funeral services of Norman Nc
LeOd opened with Scriptural reading
by Rev. DR.. s. c. Logan; Rev. DR..
Robinson followed with remarks of
sympathy and hopes that reaches he
yond the grave. He spoke with tender
emotion of the great promise which
the beautiful life gave for the future.
Rev DR.. Hodges, of Wilkes Barre made
the closing prayer and pronounced the
benediction. a touching incident of
the services was the quartette There
is a Happy Land" sung by classmates
Messrs. Harold Watres. Harry Lath-
rope, James II. Dickson and Everett
Crowford. The First Church choir

LOCATION OF BODIES NOT KNOWN.
But Slight Hope OF Reaching the Men
Entombcd in HnIlstead Mine.

Although work is still going on in the
Hallstead mine as actively as ever the
officials who are directing the work
have given up all hope of ever reaching
the bodies of Thomas Williams and
David Emanuel. who were entombed
in that mine by cave last Friday.
The scalch for the bodies is attended
by good deaf of danger. but the
principal drawback in prosecuting the
work Of recovery systematically is the
fact that no one knows where the
bodies are located. If that was def
nitely determined the work of moving
toward the present grave Of the un-
fortunate men could be prosecuted with
much better success.

HOW TO ENJOY A CIGAR.
But Few Men Ever Get the Rest Re-
suits from a Smoke.

But Few Men Ever Get the Rest Re-
suits from a Smoke.
personal observation has taught
me-" said a Cuban cigar dealer to a
Star reporter, chat not one person in a
hundred knows how to smoke cigar
to enjoy it thoroughly. For instance,
most men, after buying their cigars,
stick them between their teeth and
gnaw the ends off recklessly, thereby
tearing and loosening the wrapper.
Then they light their cigars and puff
upon finishing them in a hurry. Thus
treated the finest cigar will burn irreg-
ularly and the smoker will, nine times
out Of ten, lay the blame on the cigar.
The cigar may be to blame, but in most
cases the fault lies in the way it has
been handled.
After a cigar has been bought, the
end should be cut smoothly off by a
clipper or sharp knife. The reverse end
should then be placed in the mouth and
the cigar blown through. This re-
moves all the little particles Of dust
which cannot be avoided in the manu-
facture, and prevents them from being
inhaled into the throat, and from pro-
ducing coughing. The cigar should
then be lighted, and particular atten-
ton should be paid to it's being thor
oughly ignited all over the surface Of
the end. Then, instead of putting away
like steam engine, the smoker will
find that three or four puffs every min
ute make the best way to enjoy the
cigar. The smoke should be kept in the
mouth a short time in order to appre-
ciate the flavor of the tobacco. Then it
should be emitted slowly.
'In case one side Of the cigar should
burn and leave ragged edge on the
other side, it is not necessary to renght
it, as often see many people do. A
gentle blow through the cigar toward
the lighted end will ignite the ragged
side, and it will burn regularly. Smok-
Ing this way is a pleasure. 1t frets
me to see man smoking a cigar who
does not know how to enjoy it, and
often feel like giving him a few words
of advice, and would do so were it not
for the fear Of offending him" Wash

A volume prepared by DIR. Shirley =.
Murphy, medical officer OF nealtn LOT
the administrative county of London,
gives a timely reminder OF the glganuc
nature of the task which has to be dls-
charged by the county council and the
vestries In maintaining the heaIth Oh
the inhabitants Of the metropolis. Inc
population Of London is approaching
500 900, and for purposes or SANITARY
sunervision the area is divided into Tor
ty-three districts, each having It's med
teal officer of health. Sanitation anu
medical science are graphing success
fully with disease, and the Illustrative
diagrams by means of which DIR. NUT
phy reduces numerous beW1lderlng pat
talIons of statistics to striking COM
prehensive impression of that contest
tell on the whole fairly satisfactory
story.
Marriages are certainly found to be
declining when we take long survey,
even if we are not able to say that the
diminution is all under the head of i'm
provident unions. The marriages dur
ing the forty-fye years from 1851 to
1896 show a mean rate of 1873 per 1000.
But from 1851 to 1915 the marriage. rate
each year was above that mean. There
was indeed brief period-it covered
the '6Os-when marrying in London
burst forth with exceptional feryor, but
the abnormal effort seems to have had
the consequence of all abnormal eff
forts in a remarkable reaction, and
since then making a "nuptial of two
hearts has gone steadily downward,
though, we may add, to reassure the
timorous, that in actual figures the
diminution en- the quarter of century
is from 1915 to $50 per 1000. Last year
80 $3.50 marriages were made in Lon
don, and the number is probably ample.
The birth rate too is on the down
grade, the turn in this department be-
ginning about 1885, and continuing un-
til now. Last year births were most
numerous in the combined eastern dis
tricts and lowest in the western, and
we notice, furthermore, that, although
the feWest children were born in the
western part Of London, more infants
died there than in any other group OF
districts. The fall in the London birth
rate corresponds strangely with fall
over the whole of England and Wales.

Derivation of the Word Klondike.
1.-THE River Trip to the Klondike" Is
the title Of an article by John Sidney
Webb in the Century. Mr.. Webb says:
'From Dawson the trail to the mines
leads over steep hill to the creek
made so famous by it's tributaries; for
there is not single mine on the prin-
cipal stream, which in the miners
slang is called Klondike. And yet this
stream does in reality bear charac-
teristic name given it by the Indians,
which Is utterly murdered by this
pronunciation, now so common.
'The Indians name the creeks
throughout the country from some
characteristic in connection with the
stream itself; and as this one is SO
swift that in order to set their salmon
traps or nets they were obliged to use
a hammer to drive the stakes to an

them Hammer Creek, or, in their Ian

relations was regarded as distinct
and commendable American practice,
and excited comment and censure from
the rest of the world. Meanwhile,
slowly but surely, common sense and
travel were modifying the conditions.
Society saw that abroad, especially in
England, age, not youth, per Sc, count
ed. 1t perceived, that man in Eng
land, or Europe, was about to really
commence his career at the time he was
compelled to abandon it here. 1t noted
that the mother, and sometimes even
the grandmother, was kept in evidence.
And it saw that this was possible be-
cause middle age and old age were DIS
tinctly recognized as separate and I'M
portant periods Of existing. In time
these truths struck home, and the tide
has turned, or at least is turning. The
prejudice for mere youth dies hard, but
it is dying. We may even see the day
when middle age, with it's experiences,
and old age, with its freedom from pre-
JUDGES, will be even more highly ap-
preciated in New York than in London,
and American society will be young,
not for a few years only, but as long as
the body is healthfu1, the mind is &C

The executors Of the law in Europe
have been swift to seize upon discov-
cries in science to help them to run
down criminals. The British Druggist
notes a curious use of the microscope
which was lately made in Prussia A
barrel of specie sent from the frontier
to Berlin was robbed and filled with
sand. This was supposed to have been
done on the way to Berlin. The emil
nent chemist, Prof. Ehrenbergh, OBJ
taifled samples of all the sand near the
stations through which the barrel pass
ed, and by means of the blowpipe and
microscope, found sand Of the station
at which it had been emptied and filed.
The thief was afterward discovered
and arrested. In France noted rogues
are not only photographed, but weigh
cd and measured carefully, and forced
to speak and sing into a Photographic
instrument before their discharge from
prison, that they may be identified af-
terward in any attempted crime. 1t
has also been noted for the Identified
ton of criminals that the one part Of
the human body which Is never dupli-
Gated in man or woman Is the mark
ings on the skin of the thumb. The
face and figure may be altered at will,
but the lines on the thumb never! For
the detection of criminals, an impress
sion of the thumb Is stamped upon pa
per. A story is told of the Princess Of
Wales. She was once shown through
the museum at Scotland Yard, contain
ing the photographs of countless
rogues, and also some of the methods,
scientific and legal, for tracing crime
and for Furnishing If. 1T is all very
clever said the kindly princess, with
a sigh, ''but If the world were as anx-
ious to discover and reward the good

A report to the State Department
from Consul General Goodnow at
Shanghai brings some interesting facts
as to the manufacture and trade in that
peculiarly Chinese pest, the tirecracker.
During the year ending June 30, 1897,
there were exported from China g.
705, 733 pounds OF them, valued at 81
5S4, ISL in gold, and Of the total ship
ment by far the largest part came to
this country. A small quantity went to
England and infnitesimal amounts to
other countries, from which 1t would
appear that in the matter of noise and
nuisance the United States has not ad-
vanced beyond the standard Of China.
The amount exported does not begin
to represent the extent Of the industry,
as millions of them are made in shops
and small houses, and four-fifths of the
crackers consumed in China are made
by the families of those who sell them,
these people Of course receiving no
wages. Crackermaking is about the
cheapest form Of industry, from every
point of view. At Canton the ordinary
size cracker costs tael (62 cents) for
10000 for export. The hours of labor
are from 6 a. m. to II p. m., and there
are seven working days in a week.
Thirty women and ten men can make
100000 crackers day, for which work
the women receive five and the men
about seven cents each. An expert at
the trade cannot get more than ten
cents, which Is about the average rate
Of wages paid in China for common Ia
bor The most alarming feature Of
Consul Goodnow's report is the fact
that the giant cracker may be re-en-
forced in the near future by new pro-
duct of Chinese skill known as the
"twice sounding

the army" Mrs. Miles has not lost
much Of that charm that made her the
goddess Of every young fellow from
West Point in her young days in Cali
fornia. She was Mary Sherman before,
her marriage. Her father was Judge
Sherman, brother Of the Senator and
the General. Her hair is darl2a and
abundant, her eyes are a grayish blue,
and her manners are winning. She is,
as kind and attentive to the wife Of a
second lieutenant as to the wife Of
brigadier general, and that is why she
has ever been popular, no matter where
stationed. Mrs. Miles accompanied the
General on his trip to Europe last year.
She accompanied him, too on some of
his expeditions against the Indians,
and was often within sound Of the
shooting.
