Another Case Beported.

Another case Of small pox-in a
mild form-is reported. Beler Worth
am, about three miles from town,
has varioloid. He has been quar-
antined but is not confined to the
house and is working in the field as
usual blowing or cutting with the
axe every day this week we are told.
1t seems he contracted the disease
from George Wyckoff having visited
and slept with him about the time
he broke out and before he was
quarantined.
Wyckoff, by the way, is about well.
The premises have been thoroughly
disinfected and no other member OF
the family has shown any suspicious
symptoms.

matter OF building the count, s part, and,
as soon as that is assured, will begin the

promptly in the matter-and after all for
mcr delays they certainly should-there
is no valid reason why the road should

The number OF men who fail on account
Of lack OF courage is enormous. The
number who would refuse to let go OF a
dollar ii they know positively that it
would bring back two is astonishing.
Such men merely exist. They don't live.
They never really amount to anything.
The men who win are the men who
think out the right course to pursue, and
then back up their convictions with their
last penny and their last ounce OF energy.
The first goods John Wanamaker ever
sold brought him $35. He delivered his
goods in wheelbarrow. lie collected
the $35 and went directly to a newspaper
office and planked it down for advertis-
ing space.

They would have been wheelbarrow mer-
chants today.-Shoe and Leather Facts.

FACTS ABOUT GLASS.

Attention was recently called to the proposed use of glass brick in building.
 The most ancient glass has necessari- ly the same component parts as that of to-day and the processes used seem to have been similar in all times.
 From England comes the suggestion that glass would be better and more lasting material than stone for making monuments which are exposed to the wearing action of the weather.
 It is now said that the government of Switzerland has approved the use of glass for making weights to be em- ployed with balance scales. A pecul- iarly tough kind of glass is to be se- lected fer that purpose.
 A change from old methods is that of fashioning glass by machine pressure instead of holding by blowing. In the pressed glass the articles are either made by hand or machine pressure, and this innovation has done much toward making glass articles much cheaper than formerly.
 No industry except that of cloth manufacture has contributed so much to the comfort and advancement of man as that of gIassmaking. which is one of the oldest of technical industries. Its earliest home was Egypt. The Brit ish museum has a lion's head of glass bearing hieroglypEics fixing the date at 2,4O0 years before Christ.

TRADING ON MISFORTUNE.

Events of the past month have given just cause for general complaint against the wholesale dealers of food
 products in those big eastern trading centers who distribute the necessarie5 of life throughout the country, and who have taken advantage of cir3unl- stances to raise the prices Of such pro ducts out of all proportion to the cost of production. Prices of butter, eggs, meat, milk and many ether staples went up with a bound during the past month, and there is good reason to be- lieve that consumers were made tEe victims of a general movement on the part of the controlling influences who seize upon pretexts like that of the re- cent blizzard and cold snap to raise the cry of impending scarcity and "bulI'' their own market for the time being in order to reap inordinate profits. No doubt some of the advance made in tho prices Of staples is based Cn actual Ge- mand, but that the large and general raise is largely speculative there Is good reason to believe. To any one familiar with the bigness of this coua- try and the enormous consumption Of food daily it is apparent that lto wholesalers are reaping in the aggre- gate a stupendous harvest from tEe largely bogus scare they have created, and it does not require very grelt play of the imagination to get some idea of the suffering caused among the poor by the creation of fictitious val ues in those things which must be had by everyone to keep the body nourished properly for it's labors, especially in view of the fact that bad weather and interruption of fuel supplies have thrown thousands out of employment for shorter or longer periods and thIG reduced incomes at the same time prices have been raised It Is out justice to say that retailers generally had little or no part in this trading in misfortune, and in many eases they
