The Punxy Spirit says: The
appearance Of the sassafras vender
admonishes us of the near approach
of spring. After eating buckwheat
cakes and fat pork all winter,
which agreeable diet thickens the
blood, it is right and proper to
drink sassafras tea in order to
bring the blood back to its normal
consistency. Sassafras is great
medicine for the blood, and will
knock rheumatism higher than the
late Mr.. Gilderoy's kite.
The Bradford Record says that
with pretty girl graduates and at
tractive schoolmarms, the Kane
School Board is having no end of
trouble. just when they had de-
cided never to employ girl to
teach unless she contracted not to
love up to the matrimonial point,
the superintendent of schools has
to be disciplined because he kissed
the sweet girl graduates. Who
can blame him?
That truth is stranger than fic-
ton is demonstrated almost every
day in the news. Here, for in
stance, are two men buried in a
Colorado mine. Three weeks must
elapse before they can be out.
While they are waiting to be res
cued they are supplied with air,
food, electric light and newspapers
by means of tube. Dispatches of
the last few days say the men are
happy, if not thoroughly content

Ex-senator Quay, before the ex-
piration of his term, had an inter-
view with President Mckinley and
Secretary Long, and both promised
that one of the proposed new battle
ships would be named Pennsylva-
MIA, in honor of the grand old
Commonwealth. 1t is proposed
that it be built, armed and armor-
ed in this State, the steel and iron
to be furnished by Pennsylvania
manufacturers and the work to be
done by Pennsylvania machinists.
An expert gardner says: If a
tree is pruned Immediately after
the leaves fall or ripen, the shoots
will be stronger in the succeeding
season than they would had the
operation been delayed until
spring. This arises from the fact
that during the winter the tree
still continues to absorb food by its
roots, which is distributed over the
branches; and as the principal flow
of sap is always directed to the ex-
treme points Of shoots, the highest
buds are the most fully developed.
If then, the pruning is delayed un-
til spring, this accumulation is cut
and thrown away and to that ex-
tent the plant is weakened. When
the size of the tree is the only OBJ
ject sought, summer pruning
should not be practiced.
Mr.. Richmond, of this county,
has introduced a bill in the Legis-
lature which should become a law.
1t provides that the County Com
missioners shall publish annually,
once d week, for three successive e
weeks, commencing within thirty
days after the filing thereof full
and accurate copy of the report
of the county auditors as filed by
them in the Common Pleas Court,
in two or more newspapers printed
in the county, representing so far
as practicable the political parties
which at the preceding election
