Hey. Eeb," called ont Mr.. Jobson
from his position on the steps, dye

Give YOU dollar for the jolt if YOU

The dark skinned man in the cler-
zeal raiment stopped and IT garded Mr..
Jobson ,eprovingly.
NO, sir he replied, looking Mr..
.Jobson square in the eye. II am not
in quest of employment of that char
acter, and you will permit me 10 say
that YOU exhibit peculiar lack OF
judgment in making such a PROPOSE
ton TO d man of my cloth.
Mr.. Job:.cM just stood on the steps
and gurgled and choked wrathful!y
as the man and brother passed on
down the street. and then he glared
into the parlor window to see if Mrs.
Jobson was laughing at him. Mrs.
Jobson wasn't visible. however. and
so Mr.. Jobson whistled to d white
youth across the street and gave the
Youth a quarter to take the horse
and buggy back to the livery stable.
Then Mr. Jobson went upstairs. put
on the most disreputable suit of
clothes that he could find in the store
room and clomped down again. He
dug a bushel basket ard an old
rapged-edged shovel out of the cell
lar and made his appearance in the
basement areaway With these tools.
what arc YOU going to do?" called
out Mrs. Jobson from above.
do look like I'm going to a har-
vest dance??" growled Mr.. Jobson.
I'm going to put every solitary ounce
of those five tons of coal in myself,
that's what I'm going to do. The
only way l can get anything done
around here is to do it myself. If /

stands swept and brushed clean inside
of an even 80 minutes I'll deed you

Mr.. Jobson began to work as if he

piled the first basketful about foot
over the rim thereof. with the re-
suit that he could barely move it.
But he knew that Mrs. Jobson was
watching him out of the front Win

without tettisonng any of the cargo
1t was a tremendous effort. but he
finally achieved it, not. however, with
out splitting about third of the coal

HOW A HEN FEEDS.
In Her Natural State She Delights in
Consuming Hours in Obtain
ing Il Full Meal.

Observe how the hen feeds when out
on the range. 1t is first blade of
grass or leaf of clover, then a short
chase for q grasshopper or cricket,
says Wal.aces' Farmer. She now dis
covers a soft spot in the soil which
she believes worth investigating, and
sets to work with the mining tools
which nature has given her with a
view of finding out if it is pay dirt y
\ fuzzy weed head is in her path and
she stops to shatter down a few of
the ripened seeds. She is drawn away
from this repast by another grass
hopper, which springs down in front
of her and jumps away again just in
time to save himself from the dash
which she has made at him. In place
of tn .rasshoprer which she didn t
get she nips another clover leaf or
blade of grass. Thus the hen feeds a
little at time and consuming hours
in obtaining full meal. 1t seems
that people who see this every day
might know that throwing down a
measure of shelled corn on bare
spot is not the proper way to feed the
hens. And those who do this will
receive conclusive proof that there is
something wrong with their feeding
during the time of year when the
hen has no choice of fooo, but must
live on what is given her by the
owner

BUZZINGS FROM BEEDOM.

Good results in queen-rearing are
to be expected only when the col
ony is strong enough to swarm. and
when honey comes in freely from the
fields every day, or when the keeper
feeds his bees freely.
Bees do not use older larvae if
younger be present.
Sometimes swarm will enter a
wrong hive and be received all right,
but this seldom happens. Generally
the intruders are killed by the pos
SCISSORS of the invaded hive. Starva-
ton swarms. which enter inha bited
hives. are usually killed promptly.
Bees prefer to build long deep
comb. They build downward in pref
erence to sidewse.
Experts estimate that an acre of
buckwheat in bloom will yield IS
pounds of honey day.
French apiarists use ''glossometers y
or tongue measures, of several pat
terms for measuring the length of he
tongues OF their bees, in order to de-
eide what flowers they can work on
most successfully.
Bees crossed once with the eau

is important. for it win add a new
source of fine honey to the list.
Robber bees may be fought with
carbolic acid. This acid has an edo.
repulsive to bees. 4 mixture OF it
in water sprinkled at the entrance o:
a hive. will prevent the robbers from
entering. while the occupants Of the
hive will pass it on their way in and

saves a great deal of labor. Far more
people prefer the non-sitters at the
present time than formerly. Leg
horns, Minorcas. Hamburgs and
Houdans are kept very largely, as
they are non-sittsrs. There is one
difficulty or drawback with the nom
sitters, which is that they lay white
eggs, which are not preferred in some
markets; but in other places the
white eggs are accepted as readily az
are those that are dark.-Farm and

mig Success, with sheen.

Every little while we come across
accounts of men. who. in a sma,,
way, have made splendid money out of
sheep. One of the latest is that Of an
Iowa man bought some Cotswold ewes
two years ago at So per head. He kept
them until they raised two crops of
lambs for him and sold them for 81 ? )
apiece. The first year their fleeces av-
eraged 111s pounds. the second year 49,
One crop of lambs brought $500 per 100
pounds. he other $3.50. All the owner
did to fatten them was to give them
corn husks and timothy hay and let
them run in the yard where he was fat
tening cattle. They picked up corn
enough for themselves around the
trovghs.

Mr.. Jobson had gone at the job he
was a sight. He might have passed
for a somewhat overtleshy stoker in
the furnace room of a steamship.
Meanwhile the heads of all the

their front windows. Mr.. Jobson saw
their heads between the curtains out

made him boil within. When he was

increase his happiness Then one of
Mr.. Jobson's neighbors, who was talk
ing his annual leave at home. strolled
over and leaned luxuriously against
Mr.. Johson's iron fence.

Nevertheless an Issue.

The Democratic platform adopted at
Kansas City condemns the Dingley tariff
law as "a atrust-breeding measure, skill
fully devised to give the few favors which
they do not desire and to place upon the
many burdens which they should not
bear
This declaration settles conclusively
the question whether or not the tariff is
an issue in this campaign. The same
platform states, it is true, that imperial
ism is the paramount issue of the cam
paign," but no more wordy declaration
can change facts, Other issues than the
tariff may be given the more prominent
position in platforms or in public speech
es, but nothing can make secondary that
great issue, on the right settlement of
which the very living and the we'll being
OF tho American people depend; the is
sue whose settlement will determine
whether the people Of this country shall
be idle or busy, whether or not they shall
have plenty of food and comfortable
clothing, whether or not they shall be
poverty-stricken or prosperous.
Bryan and his supporters do well to
put the tariff issue in comparatively
unimportant place on the platform. To
denounce the protective policy and the
Dingley law, and to declare ,he choice
between free trade and protection the
paramount issue of the campaign"
would make the campaign a farce-so
overwhelming would be the defeat of the
free trade forces. The fact which must
not be lost sight OF, however, is that Bry-
an is still true and aggressively true, to
his old FREQ trade principles, and that his
election would mean the repeal of the
Dingloy law and the destruction of all
the wealth and prosperity which the peo-
pie of the country owe to that law and TO
the policy fprotection which it exem-
plifies.

Board of Health,


Att meeting of the Board of Health of
Tionesta borough held July 10, 1900, the
following nuisances were reported:
The sewer leading from j. f. Proper,
formerly Clark, was clogged and needed
repair. The cellar under Whittekin
house, formerly Davis, filled with water
and no drainage. A sewer needed for the
Mrs. FELTON,, Haibenthal and Geo. Hood
houses. Outlet of the drain from the
Sickles swamp near Cantield's stopped,
preventing the water and waste matter
from freely flowing into river. A sewer
should be put in on Vine street to drain
the Raab, Bonner and Fredrikson prop
critics. This was reported to council in
1897. Refuse, decaying vegetable matter,
&C., being constantly thrown over bank
along back chanuel rendering the place
filthy and unhealthy. Old sidewalk,
brush, boxes, &c, &c, are thrown so close
to buildings that it is impossible to burn
this rubbish without endangeriug tie
buildings. Attention having been called
to this violation of the rules OF the Board
SO often, and personal notice having been
given, the place having become a public
nuisance, detrimental to health, the
Health Officer was directed to max o
special effort to find the guilty party and
have him or them arrested.
The water running down over the hill
from Vine street, through stables, back
yards, DC, back of borough building,
depositing the greater portion of filth aud
waste matter under the borough building,
creating veritable cesspool, detrimental
to public health, and nuisance, the sec
retary was directed to notify the council
to take such action as would remedy or
abate this nuisance. Also reported that
no sewerage connection was made to the
main sewer from properties of John
Sailor, Gus Carson, A. B. Hepler, s. J.
Setley, L. w. Bowman, Mrs. Canfeld.
The health officer was directed to see
that all these properties be properly con-
nected and if the owners refused, to 90
upon the premises and mako the neces.
sary sewerage connections. that the cost
thereof might be properly charged to the
lot oW ners, with 20 percent. added as a
penalty.
1t appearing that many verbal COM
paints are made from time to time to the
health officer aud TO the Board, of nuis-
ances, and the Board requested to take
action, without the complainant being
known, it was resolved that hereafter no
complaint Of any kind will be needed OF
acted upon by the Board unless the same
