h'bItIon on Tuesday, Dec 27,

On Tuesda; evening, the 9th
day of this month, there will occur
in the heavens the most remarkable
panorama that the inhabitants of the
world will ever have witnessed.
As the sun goes down behind til,
hills'of the golden West, the moon
will rise in its full beauty in the
East, and soon thereafter old earth
will begin to draw dark veil over
the bright shining face of the moon
and all nature will be shrouded in
darkness.
No scene in fairy legend will APP
proachs in beauty 1t will attract
more 15lention and serious thought
among the hundreds Of millions OF
human beings all over the earth than
any other similar occurrence that
has perhaps ever before happened tc
history.
And the most remarkable part o
this wonderful heavenly panoram;
is the fact that It will he seen by al
the people of the earth, on both con
tinents and that iii hcannivcroar>
evening of John the baptist, Of bill
| lical records, the torerunncr o
Christ; an" the third evening altc
Christmas, which is believed b,
many to he the anniversary q
Christ's birth.
This wonderful display of til
power and wisdom of our Create
will, we believe, be the mcanS q
making complete change in tn
present theories of science and aS
tronomy and prove to be the fr-
heavenly panorama or iniator> per
tormance OF the millennium.

The Safe IN the Pennsylvania Station at

Monday morning shortly before
three o'clock burglars forced an en-
trance to the ladies waiting room at
the Pennsylvania railroad station at
Lewisburg, and pried open the door
leading to the ticket office. The
safe was cracked. The thieves put
in such charge that the outer door
of the safe was blown through the
door leading the waiting room and
into the brick wall, doing it consi-
derable damage. The inside door
did not open SO that the scoundrels
had their work for nothing. There
is no clue to them.

flow must be stopped II possible, and
he must find the cause of my trouble.
Upon examination, he found there
was fibroid tumor in my womb, and
gave me treatment without any benefit

called on me, and recommended Lydia

said she owed her life to It. l said 1
would try It, and did. Soon after the
flow became moro natural and regular.
still continued taking the Compound
for some time. Then the doctor made an
examination again, and found every
thing all right The tumor had passed
away, and that dull ache was gone.
1t can be truthfully stated that
such a result can be accomplished by no

The condition OF the rubber trade
brought about by the increased demand
and the many new uses for rubber. has
excited great interest in the possible
ity Of inventing substitute.
In England substitute called
'soxiin" was claimed to be substi-
tute, and a clergyman OF Denver, Colo,
invented substitute called "perchoid''
for which the same claim was made.
These substitutes are identical in
their composition, being made from
linseed oil. the composition known as
linoeum being the suggestion OF both
inventors, but the oil in the new COM
position is not fully oxidized, lltharge
being used and currents of cold air.
Continued experiments yielded more
and more elastic substance, and 1t was
found that with sulphur quite similar
effects were produced, comparatively,
as with rubber. Oxi,in and perchoid
can also be vulcanized, but in no case
