Machine Made Roads,

The annual protest against the use of road machines is going up from all who drive on country roads for business or pleasure. With four horses and @ ma chine four men can do more towards spelling . road than can be undone in a year. The machine fills the road with gutter mud, sods, bogs and stones. and such stuff never did and never can make . decent oad.-Deposit Courier.
 Don't lay all the blame to the road machines. They are not equipped with brains, but you have right to expect that men who operate the machines will exercise some brains and not leave a road in the above described condition

The New York Journal of the 22d inst. publishes lengthy statement from Dr l.. w. Luscher, . phy sician of Kan sas City, who resided many years in China and is qualified to speak on the causes that led up to the present trouble in China. Dr Luscher has an intimate knowledge of the people, gained while serving as an officer in the Chinese army. He says the "Chinese dislike the missionaries, not because they teach q strange religion. but for the reason that nearly all their converts are crooks or outlaws, who pretend to adopt Chris tianity in order to secure protection against the law" Dr Luscher's state ment throws flood of light on the mis- sionary question, and we advise all to get copy of it and carefully read it.

The wa,chword of Women.

Modesty is woman's watchword. Whatever
threatens her delicate sense Of modesty,
frightens her. For this reason many q
woman permits diseases Of the delicate
womanly organs to become aggravated be-
cause she cannot bring herself to submit to
the ordeal OF unpleasant questionings, often
sive examinations, and obnoxious local treat
ments, which some physicians find necessary.
Doubtless thousands of the women who have
taken advantage of DR.. Pierce's offer OF free
consultation by letter, have been led to do so
by the escape thus offered from treatment
repugnant to modesty. Any sick woman may
write TO Dr. Pierce, Buffalo, N, y, in perfect
confidence; all letters being treated as
strictly private and sacredly confidential, and
all answers being sent in plain envelopes with
no advertising or other printing upon them.
DIR Pierce's Favorite Prescription has been
long hailed as "a God send to women" Ii
makes weak women strong and sick women
well. "Favorite Prescription" contains no
alcohol, neither opium, cocaine or other mar
cOtlc.

Pennington GETS u New Engine.

At meeting of the Board of Trus-
tees held on Saturday night, it was
very properly voted to raise the re-
ward from two hundred and fifty to
five hundred dollars for the arrest
and conviction of the person or per-
sons who caused the recent incendiary
fires in Pennington.
A committee of the Trustees went to
Newark and New York on Monday to
make inquiries about another steam
fire engine and to purchase additional
fire hose. They secured five hundred
feet of fabric hose and needed ''Y''
for throwing two streams of water on
fire at the same time.
The Trustees also secured first
rate steam fire engine, and it is ex-
pected to arrive here to-day. 1t is
from the works Of the La France Fire
Engine Company at Elmirn, N. Y.
1t is an Amoskeag engine, and has al
ready seen service and proved its eff
ficiency. The Trustees are to pay the
La France Company $25 per month
rental for the engine. If, however, at
the end of six months the Trustees
decide to buy a new La France engine
there will be no charge for the use of
this one. - DentOcrat- 1dpertiscr of

Mr. Edward Rittenhouse lost a valu-
able COW recently from milk fever.
Owing to the water being drawn
from the upper level of the canal all
the mills in the city depending upon
the canal for their water power have
been closed down for the past week,
and will be closed for the balance of
this month.
This has been remarkable Winter
SO far, and up to this writing there
hasn't been snow enough to track a
rabbit. This is an unusual occurrence
for this latitude. We cannot recall a
Winter of equal mildness, though it is
far from being over yet and we may
have some pretty big snowstorms be-
fore the blue birds are heard singing.
A small gang of men has been kept
busy the past week at tho Lambert
vile Rubber Company s works making
a temporary dam to supply water
made necessary by the drawing of the
upper level in the feeder.
There are human voices in the world
tnat are always tingling with the
sweet cadence of laughter, always
radiating the rays of sunshine in
their hearts, while the smiles on their
faces are the sun-kissed peaks of the
morning, and the summer of good
cheer and hope seems to always sur
round them with peace and happiness
But how few realize the value of these
laugh vibrations, these thrills of hui
man magnetism that are thrown off
unconsciously by the fortunate people
who have laughing dynamo within
them and electrify all who come with

brations and have their gloomy souls
set to dancing and every thought fiber
within them set to thrilling and ting

from your minister to hear tho man

you have been smuggling her currant

One of our young men received
an express package ON Monday even
ing last which when opened was found
to contain a pair of turkey legs and
brick. OF course he had express
charges to pay. Jokes of this kind
are never complete unless the charges
are paid by the recipient. The begin
ming of this mean joke dates from a
day or two before Christmas, when a
turkey was stolen from the Union
House and taken to Philadelphia.
The victim of the joke owned a half
interest in the turkey. On Sunday
last half dozen young men from here
were invited to go down and help eat
this sam turkey, which they did.
Our victim, for his share, received only
the contents of the above mentioned
express package But revenge is
sweet. and the practical joker will
doubtless rec Give his just dues.
