PROGRESSIVE SCHOOL.


We have just received copy of the
catalog of the state normal school, at
bloomsbury, Pennsylvania. This school
is recognized as one of the best in the
United States, and, as proof of this
fact, draws patronage that extends
from Maine to California. In fact, we
are informed several students from
Japan and Porto Rico, and probably
from other foreign countries, will be in
attendance during the coming year.
This indicates that the school has an
international reputation.
This high standing is the result of
correct methods and thoro teaching by
college and university trained special
lists. The results of this wise policy
were seen at the recent commence
ment About 200 seniors and $50
Juniors were presented to the state
board OF examiners, every one of whom
passed a credtable examination. OF
the seniors, some sixty being high school
graduates OF leading cities of this and
other states, added about one-half of
the advanced course to their regular
course. Some thirty-Gve or forty re-
ceived honorable mention on commence
ment day for unusual excellence in
practice teaching, and goodly number
for unusually high standing in scholar
ship. Such record is one to be proud
OF, and makes Il fitting close to the
century in the schools history.
This school maintains, by charter
privilege, as continuation of the old
bloomsbury Literary Institute, an ex-
cellent preparatory collegiate depart
ment, and music department, which
has been recognized as being equivalent
to good conservatory.
Those who expect to attend school
this fall, even if they have chosen their
place of attendance, can learn from
the catalog much that will be of
advantage to them wherever they may
go; and if they have not made a choice,
they will do well to remember that no
school is so good as the best.
Prices are extremely low considering
the advantages offered. If they were
lower, we do not see how faculty like
the one found at Bloomsbury could be
maintained. The faculty is the school,
Let nobody be deceived into thinking
that excellence lies in carpets, furni-
ture, and such appliances which are
often strongly advertised to cover other
weaknesses. The Bloomsbury school
has all the conyeniences that belong to
passenger elevator; but her chief boast
is of her faculty, her methods, and her
graduates.
Results prove the excellence of a
school. We advise all young people to
study the facilities offered at Blooms
burg before deciding to so elsewhere.

Bad News For Fishermen.

The Honey Hole dam will soon be a
thing of the past, and that famed fish
ing ground will no longer have attrac-
tions for the fishermen of this vicinity.
The dam and the streams which feed it
have been free to all and have given
many a days pleasure to people here
for years past. The privilege has been
abused, so the owners claim, and the
announcement is now made that the
dam will be torn away.
1t is alleged that the dam Is haunted
by men who have no regard for the
rights of others, that they use dynamite
and nets and other unlawful appliances
to fill their bags, and that every effort
to stop the abuse has failed,
Calvin Pardee, of Hazleton, who is
interested as one of the owners of the
land at the Honey Hole, has erected a
fine home near the dam. He has con-
lirmed the report that the dam will be
torn away, as he can no longer tolerate
the conduct of many of the people who
go there to fish or spend the day.

Where Good Work Is Done.

Under direction of Clifford IL. Heller,
who recently assumed the management
of the Freeland Steam Laundry, the
plant has been remodeled and is now an
up-to-date establishment in every res
pect. The machinery has been over
hauled and repaired, and such as did
not come up to the managers ideal was
discarded and the latest in the market
installed instead
The result of this has been n revolu-
tion in the quality and quantity of work
turned out. Nowhere in the state can
there be found place where better
work is placed in the hands of patrons.
The business has almost trebled itself
in the past month, and the laundry may
now be set down as one of the stable
industries of Freeland.

Where smokIna IS a crIme.

The French Anti-Tobacconist Socie.
ty is hoping to secure no less a re.
cruit than the Emperor Menelik.
Two months ago, at a reception at
the Military Club. NJ. Decroix. presi-
dent of the society, learned in conver-
sation with Mayor Marchand that
smoking is unknown in Abyssinia and
is, indeed, a crime Foreigners have to
conceal themselves even to smoke 4
cigarette.
NJ. Decroix naturally at once became
desirous Of securing so precious an adj
herent. and addressed a letter to the
Emperor Menelik begging him to ac-
cept the diploma of honorary member
Of the society, title already accepted
by one Emperor, namely, Dom Pedro
of Brazil.
Menelik is not the originator Of the
Punishment of tobacco from his EN-.
pire. It appears that bull of Pope
Urban VIII in 1642 is responsible for
the privation of the Abyssinlans. In
reality the bull was only intended for
priests who smoked or took SNUFF in
the churches. but 1t was taken very
literally in Abyssinia, with the result
that even to-day an Abyssinian caught
smoking would be severely punished.

rhe Natlon,s eroeerx nnI.

In one of our exchanges the Dairy
Commissioner Of Wisconsin is credit
ed with the statement that the aggre-
gate expenditure Of the people Of the
United States for food products. ex-
elusive Of meats, is S1.950000,000.
This is the Nations annual grocery
bill. The Commissioner estimates that
there are in round numbers 15,000,0 600
families in this country, and he gets
S1.950,000,O00 total by multiplying the
number Of families by S130 which he
estimates is the sum annually spent
by each of the families for groceries.
At $130 a year each family is cred
tied with an expenditure of S2.32 n
week for groceries. which seems a
very low estimate. Perhaps SO a week
would be nearer the mark, and If we
start with that average we get a year
~ bill of S156 for each family and a
total of $2,34O,0OO.OOO for the whole

Another Oldest Mason.

years old, is doubtless the Oldest man
N the world who is a Mason, he was
not until a week ago the oldest Mason

swift Falling Bullets.

Falling bullets kill many men. even
when they are lying sheltered behind
trenches. If a bullet is fired in the air
II falls with as much force as it goes
up. But, curiously, there is a certain
limit of height beyond which a bullet
gains no more falling force; the rea-
soma being that when the motion is
very rapid the resistance of the air
balances the attraction of gravity. In
the siege of Sebastapol-and, in fact,
during every campaign-a great many
men were killed by falling bullets.
And the terrific force with which they
come down is shown by a case in
which the bullet entered the shoulder
of a cavalry man, passed down through
his body and penetrated several inch.
es into his horses back.
A curious instance occurred not long
ago in India. While Il native was
cleaning boots in the open air he was
seen to drop dead without a cry. On
examining him, they found that a bul.
let had entered the top Of his head.
No shot had been heard, and the per.
son who fired it must have been a
very long way of.

In the act a policeman caught him,
promptly arrested him, and was gayIy

Of the house, when, happening to
glance up. he espied his brothers at
the upper windows.
" There stormed he. "there are my
brothers up there. They'll tell you that
this is my house And then he added
some gratuitous bad language about
the Chicago police force in general
and this special policeman in particu-

I'm consequence it was a highly In

windows and asked if it was their

The Luck Of Mayor Hart.

Mayor Thomas N. Hart OF Boston
conducted his own campaign in a
mastery manner. The situation was
peculiarly delicate Normally, Boston
is Democratic but at the December
elections there was a boiling wing OF
the Democracy that threatened at the
first sign of a mistake or the utter
ance of an unwise sentiment to return
its allegiance 10 the Democratic can
didate. Mr.. Hart therefore planned
for a short campaign with few speech
es. There were no mistakes. and the
bolting Democracy elected Mr.. Hart.
When it was "all over but the
shouting" Mr.. Hart. in conversation
with one Of the Republican leaders,
said;
"This campaign reminds me OF the
old southern darky who was brought
before the court for stealing chick
ems"
I'm what way?" some one asked.
why, the judge asked the old man
looking at him sharply and speaking
in his sternest manner; Were you
ever in court before for stealing
, chickens2'

with grin; Use been mighty lucky,
