THE TWO COMMANDS.
This is the first and great command:
To love thy God above;
And this the second: As thyself
Thy neighbor thou shalt love-
Who is thy neighbor? He who wants
A help which thou canst give;
And both the law and prophets say,
his do and thou shat live.
NEVER SAY FAIL"
In lifes rosy morning,
In manhoods pride.
Let this be your motto
Your footsteps to guide:
In storm and in sunshine,
Whatever aSSail,
Well onward and conquer,
And never say fail.
DO RIGHT.
DO what conscience says is right;
Do what reason says is best;
DO with all Your mind and might;
Do your duty and be blest.

Meeting of the City Fathers.

The city council held an interesting
session last Monday evening. The con-
tract for supplying the city with street
lights was awarded the Philipsburg-
Granite Electric Light Co. for "a period
of three years. The printing contract
was awarded The Phllipsburg Mail.
Among other business transacted the
most important was that relating to the
quarantine station The present build
ings are old and not suitable for the re-
ception of patients. In neighboring
counties good many cases of smallpox
are reported and the necessity of pro-
viding quarters suitable for detention
hospital by the city is apparent. No
one knows how soon the city will have a
case or more of the disease on hand, and
the council proposes to be prepared for
such emergencies. After discussing the
matter the council decided to build a
new hoase at the quarantine grounds to
be used as hospital The clerk was in
structed to advertise for bids for the con-
struction of such building.

strike in the Bi-MetniIip.

One OF those ollt-time excitem0nts so
common during the mining craze in :, t.
l4ons years ago was witnessed on the
street and among the brokers offices
late yesterday afternoon, which was due
to an official announcement from thu
Granite Bimetallic Mining Company's S
Office to the effect that telegram had
been received from the mine stat ng that
a strike had been made in the 1,5OO- foot
level. south crosscut. on the Bimethllic
property, of three feet of ore running 10
ounces to the ton. When this news be-
came known the street became wildly
excited and there was such scramble
on the part Of brokers to get hold of the
stock that the market which had closed
on the regular board at $2.4215 bid, after
selling at $40, jumped up 25c at time
to $3 per share, at which, it is claimed,
there was large sales in lots of 500 and
1000 shares. Later So. O212 was bid and
50. 10 asked. Just how many shares
were handled during the excitement
could not be learned, but it is said there
were great many. Louis Republic.

country fail to note when their ruler does

of the abandonment of his position on

THEY DYE THEIR SEAL PS

H'or Beauty After the Head Has Been
Shaved Perfectly smooth.
a French explorer has discovered
the vainest people in the world BY a
curious coincidence they happen to be
also the uglest. They are the Pa
houinS, a savage tribe of the western
coast Of Africa. The main occupation
of these people is the adornment Of
their persons. AS the Pahouin's cloth
ing Is of so light character as not to
incommode him he bestows a good
share of his thought upon the adorn-
ment of his body. which he tattoos in
elaborate designs done in red or blue.
Or more fanciful effect is obtained
by tattooing in relief by injecting un-
derneath the skin the juice of plant
which produces permanent swelling
Sometimes the face and body are also
tinted with a dye, red being the color
most in demand.
The same methods are used in adorn-
ing the face, especial attention being
given to the nose. Many of the Pa
houins after tattooing or painting their
noses pierce them with long, slender
bones. Others after piercing the nose
attach to it string of colored pearls
Both men and women concentrate
their efforts on their hair. Their inge-
nuity, which is shown in the construc-
tion of scores of different headdresses
of bone and metal for the men of the
tribe, chiefly the warriors, is illustrated
in far greater degree by the coiffures
of the women.
The extreme of simplicity in the Pa.
houin women's method in making
themselves beautiful is to shave the
head till it is smooth and round as q
ball and then to color it with a dye.-
