THE Clarksburg savings bank has
recently been receiving deposits Of
money that had not been in circula
ton for long time. A deposit was
made few days ago Of a can of gold
coin that had been buried in the
ground a number of the coins being
covered with rust from the can An
other deposit was made of $4,000
in paper money that looks like new
money but was the old government
greenbacks of 1862 and 1864. One
note was curiosity to nearly every
one who saw It. 1t was twenty
dollar, six percent, compound inter

1864. Across the face, in large green
letters, half an inch long are the
words, "this note bears compound

However, she has the greatest graft

Mitchell is young, Handsomely

WORK OF Y. M. c. A.
Luzerne County Committee Has
Solved the Problem of How
Young Men of Mining Viii
lagos May Be Reached.

The Luzerne county committee of the
Young Mems Christian association
has largely solved the problem OF how
the young men of the mining towns
and villages may be reached and thei:
lives directed into more useful cham
nels. Therefore, it has been deemed
wise to enlarge the scope of this move
ment to cover the entire anthracite
coal fields, because the need for the
work is very pressing in every county
where anthracite coal is mined, the
problems are the same all over the re-
gion, and stronger and more effective
work can be done.
This work is now a division of the
operations of the State Young Mems
Christian association and directly un-
der its supervision. The plan of work
will be practical and aggressive, as it
has been for the last two years, three
men being employed to devote all their
time in the field, namely, a general
secretary, an evangeustic and Bible
study secretary and a foreign-s speaking
secretary. All three have been work
ers in the county work and understand
| from experience what is required to
! successfully carry it on.
The following is the report for the
! year 1899 in nutshell form contained
in figures that speak volumes.
Over $1,000 books testaments, tracts,
pamphlets and circulars have been dis
| tributed specially adapted to help
young men.
Uncle Sam has transmitted from our
Office to fifty mining villages 1706 let
ters, postals and circulars consisting
largely of encouraging words to young
men.
Seven thousand and twenty-five miles
have been traversed by rail, bicycle
wagon and on foot, every mile OF
which has been traversed for the OBJ
ject of helping some young man.
Operations both permanent and tenn
porary have been conducted in twenty
mining towns and villages, situated ir
four of the anthracite producing coun'
ties namely, Lackawanna, Luzerne
Schuylkill and Carbon. Much of thi'
work has been shared in by volunteer:
who are reaping the benefit in expe
rience and valuable training.
As a direct result, over one hundred
young men have been reached an
their lives diverted into proper chan
nels.

The Tin Plate Company.

L. K. Torbct, organizer of the new
tin plate company, is at present wait
ing upon the West Scranton people in
the matter of stock subscriptions. He
has given them until Jan. l, to sub
scribe what he considers sufficient
amount to warrant him locating the
industry in that part OF the city, and
In the meantime he is not doing any
active soliciting himself.
Just what Mr.. Torbet considers a
sufficient sum for the West Scranton
ians to subscribe is a bit of mystery,
but it is generally believed that $780,
900 is very near the figure. 1t is un-
derstood that about Sl50,00C worth Of
stock has already been subscribed or
Is in sight entirely independent OF
West Scranton subscriptions.

Scranton people have not contributed
a sufficient amount of capital. and Mr.

meetings held for evangelistlc aI1

tion Of these were young men. These
gatherings were fruitful In substan-
tial good to the mining villages, where
all denpminatinns could unite AMI

Christian association.
Pastors and business men are a unit
in endorsing this movement for young
men and welcome the association

of Euck Mountain vein. The slope
will be continued to a depth of 500
feet to the basin. When completed it
will increase the output of their High

day.
Much difficulty is being experienced
in the coal regions in securing suf-
ficient men to operate the mines. At
least 1900 more men will be required
for the Wadesville and New Miners
vile shafts in the Schuylkill region,
and 400 more are needed at Silver
Creek and Pine Hill. Nearly every
other colliery in the lower regions is
short handed.

FRUITS IN WINTER.
How They Shou1d Be Served and
When Eaten.

How They Shou1d Be Served and
When Eaten.
Fruits are more appetizing, and, per-
haps, more easily digested, If taken in
the early part of the day-whether oil
not before the breakfast must be de-
termined by the eater.
Grapes, oranges and shaddocks may
be served before the cereal. Baked APP
pies, peaches, baked bananas, figs,
dates, prunes Or stewed fruits should
be served at the close of the breakfast.
R~aisins, sultanas, dried figs and
prunes should be soaked thoroughly, SO
that they may take up the same amount
of water with which they have parted
In the process of drying, and should
then be heated just enough to soften
the skins.
The sub-acid fruits, such as apples,
figs, dates, peaches, persimmons, pears,
prunes and apricots, are, perhaps, the
best of the winter fruits, and may be
used to good advantage with animal
foods.
Acid fruits must at all times be used
most sparingly, especially by persons
inclined to rheumatic troubles. The
continued use of an orange or shad-
dock before breakfast will diminish the
power of stomach digestion, for which
easo they should be served with
cereals, or such foods as require only
intestinal digestion.
The papaw and pineapple belong to a
class alone. They contain a vegetable
pepsin which assists in the digestion Of
the heterogeneous principles. u. These
fruits, then, may be served with meats.
and will aid In their digestion; when
served with bread and butter they do
not form SO good a diet. They are
more digestible raw than cooked, as
the heat destroys the activity of the
ferments.
Apples, as a rule, are more easily d.
gested cooked than raw, although raw
apples are more palatable.
The fashion of adding sugar to fruits
should be avoided, as they have al
ready been endowed with a sufficient
amount of sugar, and as all the starch
and cereals are converted into sugar
any further amount would be stored in
the system, to It's dertiment. If our
bilious friends would throw aside their
liver pills, and with them, sugar, they
might be free from much discomfort

scribes In the Times an interview
which he lately had with one of them:

way:
"Where do you get your papers, my
little man?"
"Oh, l buy EN- Of Johnny Green"
"And who Is Johnny Green?"
"He's a newsboy-he buys 'em In the
Times alley"
"What do you pay him for them?"
"Ficents."
'What do you sell them for?"
"Ficents."
'fYou don't make anything at that?"
'tNope."
1sThen what do you sell them for?"
s4Oh, just to get to holler?"
