MoRGANTowN's fire whistle is very
discordant affair, but it brings the an
swer all right and that is what is
wanted
DURING weather such as this every
one should be very careful about fires.
They are liable to break out at any
moment in case they are not watched
with exceeding jealous care. A cold
spell is the worst time in the year for
fires TO get started.
THE oldest inhabitant who is tel
ling so many stories about what the
winters used to be and that this does
MT amount to much is only paving
the way for the boys of the present

WITH nine cases of small pox re-
ported from Buckhanuon in letter
which was received here on Thursday
afternoon, the situation up there

ing quaratine will prevent any fur
ther spread of the disease. All of the
cases are in hotel at that place.

THOSE who are neg!ecting to at
tend the lectures at the University
this week are neglecting an opportun-
ity that they should avail themselves

AN alarm of fire was raised this
morning about 3 O clock that brought
the fire department and the balance
OF the people out in hurry. The
trouble was at the Wallace House.
W. S. Peterson an oil man from Mt
Morris had left his overcoat hang
ing too near the stove pipe and it
ignited making dense smoke that
led those in the immediate vicinity
to think the house was on fire. As
soon as he awoke Mr.. Peterson broke
the window with his fist and began
to cry fire. His hand was badly cut
and he also had quite cash in his
face. The blaze was extinguished
before the firemen arrived the dam
age being practically nothing. The
alarm did no harm as it showed in
how short time the department
can get out and ready to fight fire.
The water plugs were all right and
a stream could have been turned on
in few seconds.

PEOPLE in Fayette county Pa,
think that we have lots of smallpox
here and they are very properly scared
over the idea. They are however very
badly mistaken and they can put the
stories down as the baseSt of lies.
Whenever there is any smallpox they
will hear it soon enough but at pres,
ent there is no epidemic and the
greatest chances are that there will
be none whatever.

center Of our store for the display of

ARTIFICIAL SILK.

From The London Daily Mail.
The siIkworm with its comparatively su,S
output has now a rival in artificial silk; and
il was 10 explain the processes by which this
is produced that Joseph Cash. chairman OF 4
factory Wulston. near Coventry. read a paper
at the Society Of Arts. Sir T. Wardle presided.
Many attempts have been made said Mr.
Cash. to produce material embling silk, but
only recently have they resulted in a CONNER
ciaIly successful fabric The earliest imtatiOB
was spun glass. which in its feXibility and
brilaucy is excellent for millinery or dress ties
but its limitations soon reached, for il can
only be spun certain lengths. and il possesses
little warmth.
Polished" cotton. "mercerized" cotton. and
Pandura silk made Of gelatine thread have
struggled for recognition in the market but COM

known as colludion silk produced by the
Chardonne method. which is elaborate. Enurx

the present success was attained two years
ago But now the development Of the Industry
is going on by leaps and bounds in BesancOn
in France and in Switzerland. The material
has an even greater brilliancy than silk but
the warmth is not great. It IS more durable,
however, than the natural silk as known TO tha
ordinary customer.

MAKING CHEAP VINE.

From The London Chronicle.
The trade in cheap or spurious wines, for the
terms are usually convertible, is now very large.
The average wine drinkcr in England mas no
idea of the origin of the liquor ne drinks, and
rests content with neat bottle and high
sounding title Twenty-Five years ago the cons
sumption of wine per head OF the population waC
larger than it is to-day. but il is now nearly
double that Of less than half century back
The wine taste seems TO be- fairly constant, and
f. is largely due to the low price Of so many
OF the modern wines. our EranGfat theirs did not
drink much wine, because they could not afford
it To-day, and for the present generation, all
that is changed. Cheap wines are everywhere.
They have induced many 70 purchase, and have

Some millions OF pounds of sugar, often of the

mixed and blended with this crude spirit, the
sugar is added and an artificial bouquet, in
imitation Of some standard vintage, is impaired
by the further addition Of orris root oil or
cloves oil Of almonds. and other favoring sub
stances.
The sophistication is carried TO far greater
lengths than is indicated by the foregoing. In
France there is process which is eUphemisti-
caIly termed toning. In point IF fact instead Of
facturers blend their wines in many instances
with a decOctiOn of commercial glucose and
liberal supply OF water. The glucose II may be
mentioned contains traces OF mineral acids,
chalk and even arsenic. Fertilization with
strong spirit and this dilution process produce

wine was shipped TO France for the purpose

of real grape juice, whence it reached England

As regards the sale Of home made wines, as

any great extent in England, for the reason that,
