Never until now has IL been possible
to form even an estimate of the mean
temperature, rainfall and other par
ticulars showing the normal weather
conditions for Scranton. Yearly rec
ords have been kept by individuals, but
these observations have been faulty in
not being attended with proper in
structions and standard instruments
and the observing has not been for a
consecutive number of years.
on last Saturday, Dec. 81, II. E.
Paine, local weather observer for the
government, finished his third year in
that capacity While the governments
executive weather officials express the
opinion that seven years is required to
determine the nearly exact normal
weather conditions for any community,
they have been approximately ascer-
tanned through the work of Mr.. Paine.
AT his residence on Madison avenue he
has had the use Of all the instruments
and appliances necessary to get the in
formation.
MEAN TEMPERATURES.
Mr. Paine's records show the mean
temperature of 1896 to have been 1929
utSIctS. II is d COluClueHCc lldL lllG
mean temperature during 1897 was eX-
actly the same. while last year QS9S)
it was slightly warmer 5052 degrees.
This shows an average Of 49.65 for the
three years. This average is for the
city of Scranton and not for other
| nearby points where a variation would
be shown.
1t is probably the general opinion of
residents of Scranton that the mean
| temperature is warmer than the rec
| ords show. This fault in their belief
| is due to the fact that they are unduly
| impressed with the very hot summers
! and overlook the at times intense cold
of the winters which brings the 'mean'
| down. Mr. Paine thinks, however, that
a slightly higher average will be shown
| in the records OF the next four years.
| Like the mean temperature the aver
age rainfall was never known before
| The word precipitation" should, how.
ever. be used instead of rainfall" II
applies to melted snow as well as rain
In 1896 the precipitation was 3l.5I
inches. in 1897 1888 inches and in 1885,
5000 inches. This.is an average of 334C
inches for three years.

follows With dell
cious ice cream. Presently the man has
that unpleasant feeling in the stomach
which is the beginning of a dyspeptic con.
dition. His nerves become unstrung, and
he makes mother, wife and daughter mis-.
cradle with his moodiness. His liver ie
torpid. His blood is being poisoned by
the impurities which the broken.down or.
gans are incapable of taking care of. He
is in lust the condition to receive the germs
of any disease. He is a shining mark for
the germs of consumption. To that dis
ease too, he becomes a victim one day or
another, unless saved by the use of such a
remedy as DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. This will put him on his feet
again. 1t is a tonic and appetizer, a blood
purifier, a liver ~invigorator, a nerve re
storer, a strengthened for the weak, a cure
for weak and bleeding lungs, bronchitis,
lingering cough and kindred ailments,
which if neglected or improperly treated
lead up to consumption. Perhaps you
think no medicine can cure so many all
ments, but when you remember that all
these diseases staff in the stomach and nu.
tritive system, and that Golden Medical
Discovery" corrects that fault or derange-
ment at the starting point, it isn't SO
strange after all that it does SO much.
Mrs. Ellen f. Bacon, of shutesbury, Franklin
Co, Mass, writes: II firmly believe l should
be in a very bad state now if I had not taken
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Prior to
September 1897, l had doctored for my stomach
of treatment without any real benefit, III Sep,
TENDER 1896, I had very sick spells and gre"

Discovery and III a short time l could cat and

CONVERSATION ETIQUETTE

Do not always begin a conversation.
by remarking on the weather.
Do not talk loudly or fast. A clear,
distinct voice has great power.
Do not argue or appear to notice 9th,
er peoples inaccuracies in speech.
Do not speak mockingly of personal
defects. Somebody present may have
the same.
Do not, when narrating an incident,
keep on saying, You see," "You
know" etc.
Do not talk of your private and fam
lily affairs except to intimate friends.
and then be careful not to do so often.
Do not cross question people. 1t Is
bad form to force a confidence, but if
one is made to you, you are bound to
respect it.
Do not find fault needlessly even
with the weather. The habit of
grumbling at either people or things is
most disagreeable.
Do not whisper. If you have any
thing to say that the general company
may not hear, reserve it till you and
the person to whom you desire to i'm.
part it are alone.
Do not talk of things which the com
pany present cannot be interested in
BY so doing you may show yourself
clever and superior person, but you
will be voted a bore.
Do not interrupt others while speak
ing, but listen patiently until they have
finished. Remember that the good lis
tener is generally more appreciated
than Ne clever talker.

HORRORS OF PHILIPPINE WAR

Tales come TO us of the sufferings en-

They are suffering silently and fighting
bravely with the greatest enemy Of

During the winter of 1897 Mr.. James
Reed, one of the leading citizens and
merchants Of Clay, Clay county, w. Va,
struck his leg against a cake OF ice in
such a manner as to bruise it severely.
1t became very much swollen and panied
him so badly that he could not walk
without the aid of crutches. He was
treated by physicians, also used several
kinds of liniment and two and a half
gallons of whiskey in bathing it, but
nothing gave any relief until he began
using Chamberlain's Pain Balm. This
brought almost a complete cure in a
weeks time and he believes that had he
not used this remedy his leg would have
had to be a%mputated. Pain Balm is
unequaled for sprains, bruises and
rheumatism. For sale by A. c. Ireland.
