Shooting Stars.

Almost every night numbers of
meteors can be seen shooting about
the sky and beautiful streaks of
light mark their paths. According
to many the display will be remark
able this year. Astronomers say
that November Is, 1899, will he re,
markable for the reason that the
heavens will then be ablazc with a
magnificent shower of stars, but
they point out that similar display
of celestial fireworks regularly oc-
ours every thirty-three years, and
there is no reason torsupposing that
the spectacle in 1899 will be more
glorious or omnious than it was in
1888 and 1866.

and Il Democrat in politics, living in
Chester county, in Chester Valley,

Peel Your Fruit.

All fruits with skins on should
be washed and peeled before eating
Especially fruits exposed Oh the
streets, and where dust and flies can
have access to them. Few are aware
of the danger of food contamination
by flies. They arcgreat scavengerS,
and are not at all choicy as to what
they eat, nor whercthcy step. They
pass at one bound from an infectious
carcass, foul ulcer, or Il mass of
diseased sputum or rccking filth to
the apple, pear or peach with dirty
proboscis, run over it, and contamlntc
it. Hence all such fruit should be
first washed and driedand then pared
if possible. Even food tobe cooked
ought, for cleanliness sake, to be
washed ifcooked with the skins on.

RAILROAD LOSES.
In q Suit to Hold Land Which It
Does Not Use

Minneapolis, MINI. Nov. 20--A spec
iaI TO the Times from Spokane, says
that Judge Prather yesterday rendered
an oral decision in the matter of the
Northern Pacific claim to 200 feet on
each side of the track as its permanent
right OF way that determines the main
question at issue in the celebrated Iiti-
CATION. The case involves the title to
real estate, the value of which is said to
aggregate millions The claim of the
company rests on the contention that,
once granted 200 feet on each side of its
track through the public domain as
right of way, no party of this property
could ever be taken up or disposed of
The decision of the court is in effect
that except for a. strip of land actually
needed for its right of way. the public
can acquire full title to the remainder
by adverse possession, If the railroad
fails 10 make use of It Just how muc n
would reasonably be held TO be neces-
sary for the safe operation of trains.
the court did not decide, but it held
that the entire 400 feet could not be
presumed to be necessary The raH-
road company viii appeal from this de-
ciSiOu to the supreme court
