A RACE OF GIANTS.

The subject of stunted men
and women is always of import
ane Notwithstanding that the
rising generation promises to be
we'll above the average in height.
A noted Frenchman has publish
ed researches in paper read be-
fore the French Academy of
Medicine, in which he traces
shortness in children mainly to
alcoholism, morphine habit, and
other similar troubles in their
parents. He believes that treat
ment for stunted children is val
liable and should consist of ration
al measures directed to the relief
of the maladies which produce ar
rested development combined
with improved hygiene and gym
nastics. Remembering that there
is always one primary factor
which renders the child short, he
attempts the direct remedy by
stimulating the growth of the
bones. Since the growth of
bones is at the point where the
shaft JOINS the ends, he induces
local excitation at this point by
applying saturated salt or brine
congresses around the joints at
night He believes that electric
ity locally applied is even more
efficacious and almost any kind
of current seems to act as suf-
ficient stimulant. He has also
found good results from the ap-
plication to the muscles sur
rounding the joints.

SIDELING HILL.

March 26. Mr.. Editor, we
have been thinking of electing to
the General Assembly of Penn
sylvania this fall, a representa-
tive who will try to raise stock
sufficient to put down, or com
plete, the Graham oil well at, or
near, Franklin Mills. We think
that a man that has the sand to
offer himself as a candidate for
that Office, should possess the
ability to raise two or three
thousand dollars stock to com
plete the oil well. Then-the
people of Franklin Mill and vicin-
ity would be able to say that they
had the first oil well in Little Full
ton. We feel sure if the well is
put down, we will get the oil.

BEAUTIFUL THINGS.

Beautiful faces are those that wear
1t matters little if dark or fair
Whole-souled honesty printed there.
Beautiful eyes are those that show
Like crystal panes where heart-fres
glow,
Beautiful thoughts that burn below.
Beautiful lips are those whose words
Leap from the heart like song of birds,
Yet whose utterance prudence girds.
Beautiful hands are those that do
Work that is earnest and brave and
true,
Moment by moment the long day
through.
Beautiful feet are those that go
On kindly ministries to and fro
Down lowliest ways, if God wills it so.
Beautiful shoulders are those that
bear
Ceaseless burdens of homely care,
With patient grace, and daily prayers.
Beautiful lives are those that bless
Silent rivers of happiness,
Whose fountains but few may guess.
Beautiful twilight, at set of sun,
Beautiful goal, with race well won,
Beautiful rest, with work well done.
Beautiful graves, where grasses creep
Where brown leaves fall, where drifts
lie deep
Over wornout hands-oh, beautiful,
sleep!

LOOK OUT FOR HIM.

The following telegram from
Lancaster, March 90, to the daily
papers tells of the operations Of a
slick swindler. who may possibly
come this way:
A great many people of this
city were victimized during the
early part of this week by man
pretending TO be an agent of the
Ladies' Home Journal, of Phila-
delphia. He gave the name of j.
Hall and eanvassed for subscri-
bers. He made the liberal offer
of set of dishes, containing 112
pieces, to every person who
would become a subscriber and
pay one dollar. The dishes were
to have been delivered yesterday
but Hall cannot be found The
matter was reported to the Cur
tis Publishing company, who
pronounced the man a fraud.
They have sent agents here to
investigate the case and have Of
fered a Jeward for Halls detec-
ton. 1t is believed that the man
will attempt to operate in other
towns.

Maryland's Marriage Law.

The Ministerial association of
Cumberland is trying to have the
law relating to marriages in
Maryland changed, with the OBJ
ject of decreasing the number of
elopements. The law now allows
sixteen-year-old girls to be we'd
ded there, while the one proposed
provides that in the case of girls
under eighteen years old, the
written consent of parents or
guardians will be sufficient cause
to issue license. The new law is
also made to require all state
ments concerning age, residence,
etc, to be given under oath, eth,
er by both the parties applying
for the license, or by parents OF
guardians, or by a justice of the
peace qualified to act The pres
ent law simply invites any num-
ber of elopements, the majority
of which terminate unhappily.

An Immense Cigar.

Among the souvenirs sent to
his friends here, Amos Houck, Of
G.. L., 10th United States Infan-
try, now in the Philippines, is an
immense cigar, about eighteen
inches long and over an inch
thick. Mr.. Houck says this is
the kind of cigars the native wo-
men smoke. Should they smoke
one at "sitting they would have
a days job of it. Mr.. Houck is a
son of Comrade Anon Houck, of

"F'or the life of me-" writes a
Kansas soldier boy to the Flor
ence, Kan,) Bulletin, ""I can't

winds, no blizzards, the nights

Want a New Coin.

A well-defined movement is on
foot, inaugurated by the proprie-
tors of the big department stores
to have the government issue q
new coin of the denomination of a
half cent. Signatures to the doc
ument setting forth the need of
such a coin have been secured
from prominent retail merchants
of Philadelphia, and other cities
have become interested. The
bargain seeker who delights in
seeing things marked down may
eventually experience the delight
of paying y cents for an article
reduced from s. The merchant
claims that in these days of keen
competition, when large sales and
small profits are the rule, some
such plan is necessary. Several
individual firms in Chicago have
issued their own halfcent pieces,
which, of course, are onlyredeem-
able in their own establishments.

OLD SENATOR'S.

-Four of the Oldest men in the
senate sit side by side in the front
row. They are Pettus of Ala
bama, who Is 7S years old; Cock
rell of Missouri, who is 50; Vest,
also of Missouri, who is verging
on 20, and Morgan of Alabama,
who will be 76 next June.
Age has dealt lightly with these
four old men with the exception
of Senator Vest, who is beginning
to give evidence of the weight of
threescore years and ten upon
his diminutive form, says the
Washington Post. Pettus is Won
derfully well preserved. He is
known as the Confucius of the
senate because he looks so wise
and is so deliberate in his talk.
Cockrell is one of the hardest
workers in the senate, and his
constant watchfulness while bills
are being considered is proverb-
ial. Vest used to be one of the
greatest orators and debaters in
the body, but of late he has par
ticipated but little in the proceed
ings. Morgan is one of the wise
men of the senate. Morgan is
one of the wise men of the senate.
He knows everything. When he
was boy and books were scarce,
he used to train his memory by
learning to repeat each volume, a
chapter at a time. His parents
wanted him to become a minister,
but he drifted into law and then
into politics. He is one of the few
men in the senate who have the
really broad guage of a states
man.
Very few of the old men in the
senate show their age. No one
would ever suspect that Platt Of
Connecticut was ~ or that Cul-
lom of Illinois was 20 last Novem-
Der. Senator Hawley Of Connec-
ticut is 20, Gear of Iowa will be
75 next April, and Hoar of Mass
achusetts is 73. Senator Teller
is still vigorous, with his seven
tieth birthday rapidly approach
ing, and Frye is a remarkably
young man for the weight of near
ly 20 years. Jones of Nevada, is
SO, while his colleague, Stewart
is 70.
Senator Bate of Tennessee, like
the late Senator Harris, will not
disclose his age. He must be 20
or thereabout, for he was a sol
dier in the Mexican war, over
half a century ago.

TIME THE COIN OF LIFE.
rItten for The News by David H. Myers.

Written for the News by David II. Myers.
Time is in reality the coin of
life. You may call the years it's
pounds, the days it's shillings,
and the moments its pence. We
come into the world poor and ig-
norant. Many means Of happi-
ness and sources of enjoyment
are around us, but not one of
them can we well call our own
till we have purchased it; and
not one of them can we purchase
till we have rendered up its equiv
alent in the coin of life. We
must pay for them in pounds,
shillings, and pence: or, in. other
words, in years, days, and min
utes. Some of them cost much
more than others: some can be
procured only by the sacrifice of
years, others, for the exchange
of few minutes. To illustrate
my meaning, take the case of a
child. The instincts of his ma
ture lead him to desire the enjoy
ments of social intercourse-but
how many hours, months, and
even years, must he spend in
learning to talk before he can en-
JOY the pleasures derived from
this source. How much pleasure
the little boy derives from his
books; but this qualification was
purchased by many weary hour
spent over the alphabet, and the
elements of language. When the
child becomes the youth, if he
wishes to be learned, he must
freely give years to patient study;
if he wishes to be rich, he must
devote years to patient accumula-
ton. Nothing of value is gained
in this world without putting the
hand into the purse of life and
drawing out, in payment for val
ue received, the precious coin OF
time. TO carry out the figure
still further: it isa solemn thought
that the purse is never replenish-
ed; for every precious coin with
drawn, it is so much lighter;
every moment and day spent, is
gone beyond recall; whether we
have received it's value or not, it
will never return to us. 1t is
true of each one that these days
and years are constantly passing
from his possession; but the wise
and diligent man is mindful how
they pass, and is not willing to
part, even with the minutes, with
out receiving an equivalent in
knowledge gained, or labor per-
formed, or needful rest or re-
freshment secured, while the in
dolent person suffers theprecious
moments to slip away without
thought or care.

How She Attracted Attention.

The other day, says Tid-Bits, a
married couple were walking
down one of the main thorough
fares of a north-country town, and
the husband, noting the attention
other women obtained from pass
ers-by, remarked to his better
half:
"F'olk nivver look at thee. |
wish I'd married someone better
looking"
The woman tartly replied:
cts thy fault. Dusta think a
man'll stare at me when you're
walking We me? Thee step be-
hind, and thah II see whether folk
don t look at me. "
He hung back about a dozen
yards, and for the length of a
street was surprised to see every
man his wife passed stare hard
at her, and turn round and look
after her when she had passed.
"Sal, lass!" he exclaimed, 81
