1t is urged against the candidacy of
George A. jerks for the govcrnorship
that none OF the bosses of either party
are taking any interest in promoting his
election. There may be some truth in
this allegation. One thing is certain
none of the bosses would profit by his
election. He stands aloof from the ma
chimes. He does not believe in bosses;
and il the bosses reciprocato his dislike
the voters of Pennsylvania ought to act
upon the hint. The candidate the ma
chimes have no use for is the candidate
whom honest men should support.

was that it would undoubtedly cost the

The newspapers of Luzcrne county,
with few exceptions, appear to have
taken sensible view of the professional
politicians and their business this year.
There is wholesome absence Of the
lengthy free puff, which aspirants for
office imagine they are entitled to in the
columns of every newspaper which
supports the national politics of these
berth-seekerS. The press OF both
parties in Lnzerne county has been
worked very cheapy during past years
before and after the nominations were
made, and it is healthy sign to see the
newspapers giving the oiice-hunter no
more gratuitnous advertising than they
give persons engaged in any other kind
OF business.

The back of an upright piano nova
days is always turned toward the room
on account of the superior acoustic ad-

comes a serious subject for decorative

that it must be draped, but this re-
quires a skilful touch to do 1t grace

Rules to Observe When Isuying Prunes.
When buying prunes, the California
prunes will be found more satisfactory
and far cleaner than the foreign fruit.
Do not soak them over night, as that
allows the prunes to break, while the
syrup Is not so clear. They should,
however, be carefully washed, one by
one, In tepid water, allowing them to
stand in the water two or three min
utes to plump" Follow this by q
second washing; then put in the sauce
pan. allowing cup and half of water
to every cup of prunes. Simmer
slowly on the back of the range or in
the oven for two hours and half. new
er allowing them to boil If desired,
sugar may be added, but the long,
slow cooking brings out the natural
sweetness of the fruit and is approved
now by first-class cooks. Prunes
treated in this way emerge lustrous,
tender, sweet and with the real prune
fl yor, totally at variance with the
justly derided prune of the average
boarding house.

Some one has said that sense of
the ludfcrous and the faculty Of laugh
ter are the most useful parts OF our
nature. Laughter Is essentially a
social. sympathetic and CONTAGIOUS
power. Some nations, particularly the
0rientals, are said never to laugh, but
all European nations have been great
laughers. and the ludicrous has played
an important part even in their his
tory. By means of laughter, absolute
monarchs have been controlled, and
even Demos, himself has been made
to laugh at his own follies till he was
almost shamed into good sense. Quack-
cries, hypocrisies, and affeetatious of
all kinds have been exposed and sup
pressed, and the reformation was pro-
NOTED by the united efforts of reason
and ridicule. The sense of the ludiorous
and of the pathetic have their sources
not far from each other in the highest
part OF our nature. A good laugh, per-
lodically administered, would excite
those sympathetic feelings and genial
dispositions which are most needed for
regenerating our moral system. Then
men, whom we have sent home laugh
ing, would have experienced an hours
pleasure without fear or mlsgiving at
the time and without remorse or re-
action afterwards"

Of some gracious fact, when one VINO

facts, even under circumstances OF
dreadful occasion and temptation, but
is ON the other hand, conscious OF q
deep, all pervading peace, purity, pa

The Laugh on the Kaiser.

Here is another good story they are
telling In Europe about the German
emperor The kaiser, at a recent re-
view in Berlin, reprimanded old Cen
eral Won Meerscheidt for losing his
presence of mind at a critical moment.
"If your majesty thinks that I am get
ting too old, beg of you to allow me
to resign" NO, no." replied the
kaiser, you are too young to resign.
Indeed, If your blood didn't course
through your veins quite so fast, you
would be a more useful army leader"
On the evening of that day the kaiser
and the general met at court ball.
The general was talking to some la
dies. "Ah, Meerscheiat," cried Will
lam, that is right, get ready to marry.
Take a young wife, then that excitable
temperament of yours will soon van
ish." The general bowed low as he re-
torted, Il beg to be excused, your
majesty! A young emperor and a
young wife would be more than could
