tne Meadville party which was camping

specimen, the three first named all having

AS will be noted by the census figures
of this State as given in this issue Forest
County has made considerable more
than the average percentage of increase
in It's population during the past ten
years. The percentage of increase in the
entire State is 1913, while that of our
county is trifle more than 80 per cent
We are no longer next to the smallest
county in Pennsylvania, but have risen
three points above that place, and there
are to-day three other counties-Camer-
on, Fulton and Pike-smaller than For
est in point of population.

The "evils of drinking" was the sub
ject upon which two prominent clut
men communed the other day, says the
Vine and Spi1R Gazette. "Why not ask
ones friends TO take something more
useful than driuk?" Acting upon the
idea they went into the nearest shop-i
haherdasher's-and number one asked
"What will you have" "a pair of socks
l think" SAID number two, and with ;
"here's luckp' he put them in his pocket
"Have one with me?" Thanks, II
have tie" They chatted while the til
was being papered, and then came thu
thanks, really" was the answer; "hay,

One of the simplest methods for de
termining the day of the week upol
which given date in this century fel
is the following; Divide the year bt
four and let the remainder 60. Add tn
quotent and the year together, then adj
more divide the result by 7, and il tn
remainder is 0, March l of that year wa
Sunday; if /, Monday; 2. Tuesday, ant
so on. For the last century do the sam
thing, but add instead of 3. For th
coming century add 2 instead Of 3. VIII.
this thing works out as it does is Difficult
TO explain. Taking as an example TO fin,
the day of the week October 90, 1854, fel
on It would work out az follows: lS5
divided by gives 463, which added t
1854 makes 2.3l7; adding more and di
viding by7 gives 93l, with remain
der of 3. This gives the key day 70
March as Wednesday. A little calcu
lation will then show that October IS wa
also Wednesday, which would max
October 20 fall on Friday.
"A smooth indiv vidnal dropped int
our town few days ago and straight
away commenced to take orders for pur
Mocha and Java coffee at thirty cents
pound He was giving the ladies a grea
bargain and they knew it and each kin
hearted woman ordered from one TO fiv
pounds to be delivered Immediately, o
as soon as the wholesale house ut Buflal
could ship it. No questions were aske
at the hotel where Mr. Smooth stopped q
he had paid his board in advance, bu
several days passed and Mr.. Smooth
board bill became over due and one eve
ming just after the fog began TO settl
over the city Mr.. Smooth, like the Aral
folded his tent and silently stole away
forgetting in the meantime that his boar
l remained unpaid. Upon investigation
= was learned that the good people wer
t drinking pure Mocha and Java (?) bougl
, here in Salamanca from the Peoples gro
r cory, at eleven cents pound. Such
> thing is an outrage, but who can, as "
= said before, extend sympathy to peopl
who try to get something for nothing? ?
