gramme.
One of the pitiful scenes of the days
meet was the running of Murphy IN
the half mile and repeat. He finished
third in the first half but was back in
jockey dismounted and the saddle was
removed Murphy stood with his head
down almost exhausted. He was so
lame he could hardly hobble off the
track. He was a great running horse
once and carried off many good sized
purse but his running days were over
long ago and it seems almost cruel to
run the old horse now but he is as
game as ever and does his best. He
formerly belonged to Arthur Massey of
Topeka.
The running races brought the same
time for both heats, So seconds The
first dash was Settle Up first, Lindecker
second and Murphy third. The second
half mile was Settle Up first, Ldndecker
second and Miss Wright third.
The programmes of the races were
printed without any numbers or cOlorS

names were not given. They were ut
terly useless to the audience. Secretary
Foster said that the printer who pub
liShed them was used to printing tracts
but that this was his first attempt at
horse race publications. Inc pro-
grammes hereafter will be properly ar
ranged and printed.

show were not gone through with as

The progressive spirit of the
Stroudsburg Normal School is made
manifest in the fact that the Winter
term opened up with an unusually
large increas over the fall term. The
advertising done during the early
part of the fall term is one reason for
this influx of students. Prof. Bible
believes in keeping his school well
to the front and does not hesitate to
have the people know it through the
mediums of the news papers. They
have good school up in the noun

ably in the state and every student

Tea Ci.aretres.

The ordinary -maligned tobacco
cigarette, says a medical journal. must
yield up the finest place as destroyer
of nerves and vitality and general enc
my of mankind. Its successful rival.
which has appeared recently in the
field. is the tea cigarette. 1t is made
from lbroken leave of green tea mix
ed with little tea dust. The combina-
ton is moistened, rolled and inserted
In a paper wrapper so that outwardly
1t looks like an ordinary cigarette. The
effects are peculiar. The smoker first
experiences thickening sensation of
the head and is afflicted with desire
to sit down. This phase is followed
by a period Of intense eXhilaration,
which, presumably, accounts for the
habit; the third phase is nausea and
disgust for all food.
The beginning of recovery is marked
by yearning Tor tea in any form.
The tea cigarette habit is said to be
peculiarly difficult to overcome.

new devices for labor saving in this
direction is chute into which a very
strong air current is forced. The ashes
are placed in the chute as they ac-
cumulate and are almost instantly
blown through this conductor into the
