A WORD OF CAUTION.

The old saying that ga man. who /,
naked can't give away his shirt, is only
another way of saying that you can't
give what you haven't got The man
can't give free medical advice, or any
other kind Of medical advice who hasn't
got q medical education and a certificate
to the fact, in the form Of diploma.
And in this particular woman has no
more privilege than man. She can't
give medical advice without medical edu-
cation and medical knowledge.
The offer of free medical advice made
by DIR. Pierce, chief consulting physician
to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In
stitute, Buffalo, N. y, has been initiated
by SO many, who without any medical
qualifications claim to give "nedical
advice" that word of caution is neces-
sary.
Don't write for medical advice to any
one, man or woman, who is not a ply
sician. If they are physicians they will
take the title Of physicians or doctors SO
that you may recognize them. If they
don't claim that title it is because they
dare not, for fear Of the law.
DO not forget that there is Just as
much difference in doctors as in artists.
Every little town has its artist who draws
and paints. But these artists" gener-
ally paint copies Of the works of great
artists like Millet. There was only one
Millet.
There is only one Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, such as DR.. Pierce
presides over Thousands of women
come or write to DIR. Pierce who have
found no help at the hands of doctors of
lesser skill and narrower experience.
Any sick or ailing woman, suffering
from the distressing forms of disease
peculiar to women, is invited to con-
suit DIR. Pierce, by letter, free. Such con-
situations are absolutely private. Each
letter is treated as a sacred confidence,
and each answer is sent in a plain en-
velope, bearing no printing upon it.
In this way offensive questions and
repulsive examinations may be avoided.

A New Eng1ish Process for ReproAuc-
iag Piet1res froa Artists'
Copy.

An English company has been formed
to print without the use of ink in any
form. by simply bringing the plate into
contact with chemically -dampened pa
per linen, silk, wool or other fabric, and
obtaining a good. clear impression of
any desired density. The operation,
says the Philadelphia Record, is as
quick and more simple than letter press
printing and the work resembles in
clearness and delicacy copperplate or
itho engraving. Ordinary printers
type blocks, forms, stereotypes and
electrotypes may be used as printing
surface and drawings, etc, requiring
special blocks or electros, lithographic
work or copperplate engraving can be
done at a great saving. Original
sketches, scrolls or fancy lettering can
be made upon the transparency or
traced through from drawn or printed
sketches, the words being typed in their
respective places, and, If printed on
opaque paper, Photographic replicas
OF any size can be made, while engrav-
ings can be reproduced direct from the
artists work. Any class of paper may
be used. the sensitizing solution is
much cheaper than printing ink, and
the speed Of the process is greatly in its
favor.

Death Of Samuel Stumpf.

Samuel Stumpti died at Cross
grove, Oct. |, 1899, after a few
days illness from the effects of apo
plexy, aged II years, 10 months and
lSdays.
Father Stumpff was one of the
oldest members of st. Johns church,
Crossgrove, Pa, and was all his lite
identified with the interests of the
congregation. He played an import
ant partin the buildingo the church,
was at different periods of his life a
faithful ofiice-bearer, and was always
deeply concerned in the welfare and
progress of the church. Until ILL
ness came upon him, a few weeks
before the end, he was never absent
from the regular services of the
Lords house, except when provi.
dence intcrferred.
Father Stumpft was a sincere and
earnest Christian. He had a we'll
grounded faith in the doctrines of
the Gospel as held and taught by the
Reformed church. His grasp ofthe
truth was comprehensive. This
clear insight and intelligent appre-
hension was acquired by a careful
study of the Word of God, and an
attentive hearing of its proclama-
ton. He was, indeed, in the full
sense of the word Il true son
of the Reformed church, and this
fact was, at all times, a source of
great encouragement to his pastors.
And yet true and loyal as he always
was to his own church and pastor,
he was not a bigot. Indeed, this
fact only made him the truly broad
and liberal-mindcd man that he was
towards CHR stian people OF
whatever denomination. He could
therefore take deep, personal in
terest in all TIE movements which
tended to better the morals of the
community, and cordially cooperate
with Christian people generally in
turthering these movements.
Father Stumptf' was good man,
not only intellectually, but he pos
sessed many other noble traits OF
character. He had a good kind
heart. If he was firm in maintain
ing what he believed to be right, in
which he was sometimes misunder-
stood, there was nevertheless back
oft all a noble heart and good
understanding. His faith in the
verities ofthe Gospel of Christ was
strong, his love for spiritual things
and for purity and goodness unabat-
ing, and his department as a Chris
tian, quiet, humble and commend
able.
In the death of Father Stumpf,
the congregation loses a faithful
member, the community a good citi-
zen. He was loving and faithful
as husband and father. The daugh-
ter, though sadly bereaved, the only
one of the family surviving, can find
much comfort and consolation in the
sure hope of the blessedness of their
departed loved one, and live in the
happy anticipation Of final reunion.

NlOT'Z.

l. In 1869, Casper Motz was the
grantee of a tract of land near New
Berlin, on Penn's Creek, now Union
county. Said Casper Motz was doubt
less the John Casper "Nlautz," aged
16 years, who, in 1871, arrived in
Pennsylvania from Germany with
his parents and settled in Oley,
Berks county. IfCasper Motz ever
settled on this land he must have
died before the erection of North
cumberland county, as we donot find
his name among the early taxables.
Three brothers, John, Michael and
George Motz, presumably sons of
Casper Motz, appear in this region
in Revolutionary days as taxables. OF
these brothers we have the following
data:
II. Michael Motz lived in Penn
township (now Snyder county. His
wite's maiden name was Moyer. He
was solder OF the Revolution. In
1885 he removed to the western ex-
tremity ofPenn's Valley "Narrows,"
in Centre county, where Woodward
is now situated, and died about
1923, aged about S5 years. He had
children:
i. John, killed accidentally when
young.
ii. Henry, m. Barbara Meyer.
iii. Eve, m. john Wise.
iv. Susan, m. George Wise.
v. Catbarine, M. Jacob Wise, who
removed to Ohio at an early day.
vi. Sophia, m. Abraham Hoca;
removed to Stephenson county, III.
vii. Rebecca, M. Conrad Wise;
removed to Clearfeld county, and
from thence to "the West" 1t is
a notable circumstance that four
sisters married four brothers.
