The Mustard Bath.

When baby comes In from his winter play
time sneezing and coughing and showing
various indications of having caught cold,
leave the usual drugs and try a mustard
bath for warding off future trouble Tie
two tablespoonful Of ground mustard IN q
small piece of cheesecloth and put It IN q
tubful Of water as hot as one can comfort
ably bear. Rub thoroughly afterward and
get the patient to bed as soon as possible
to guard against more cold.
This plan of taking mustard bath when
the usual indications OF a severe cold pre-
sent themselves is equally good for adults,
but 1t is especially recommended for the
little tots who so often expose themselves
thoughtlessy during play time and who
should not be allowed to become accus.
toned to drugs in any form unless pre-.
scribed by a physician for severe cases.

THE BIRDS SENTINEL.
The Blue Heron Implicitly Trusted
When on Guard.

ne due heron implicitly Trusted
When on Guard.
From Forest and Stream.
One of natures sharpest sentinels ia the
blue heron. Not only does he stand guard
for himself and immediate relatives. but
he is unwittingly a sentry for other birds.
Ducks and geese use him, and have often
wondered why sportsmen, particularly duck
and geese hunters. do not employ a decoy
resembling heron, or crane, as thew are
often enormously called. 1 can assure the
readers of Forest and Stream that the
common wooden or canvas decoy is not to
be compared with neatly mounted blue
heron as a lure for the feathered eobblers

coded me, yet would not hear a solitary
quack. I would also notice that there womb
not be a heron on guard. At other times
the reeds would be alive and I could NOT
get shot, for the blue heron sentry would
give the alarm, spread his broad wings in
his slow, clumsy fashion, and ducks. geese
and all would follow him out Of reach re-
peated disappointments of this kind show
ed me that Willingly or not the ducks were
making good use of the long legs and keen
eyes Of the heron. He was able to see
over the rushes. while their vision was
completely cut off. When he was inclined
to visit the brook to get a frog or a fish
for breakfast they gathered round him
feeling perfectly secure so long as he was
throwing his searchlight glances over the
reeds and into the bushes. When his heron
ship took occasion to visit other scenes
not living paddle would disturb the placid
eddy at the mouth of the brook
I watched the situation carefully and
found the heron one morning entirely alone

Of the lake when the heron saw them and
uttered one of his lonely yet compIacent
calls. Immediately the ducks sweryed and
circled into the cane where the heron was

FIFTY MILES SOUTH OF PANAMA
Colon. Sept. 28.-Panama for week or more
has been terribly unsettled, owing to apparently
well founded reports brought by incoming
steamers and received from other sources which
assert that an expedition numbering between
100 and 200 men, under General Domingo Diaz,
which sailed from Corinto, Nicaragua two

noteworthy feature of the present situation
is the fact that the Colombian rebels under
General Patino, who month ago daily and
nightly pillaged most of the defenceless rail
road stations, have not been heard of recently.

A Judicious Magistrate.

The calm and judicious an
nouncement of Magistrate Nc
Garvey, of Pittsburg, that the
Commonwealth would be pro-
tected against all disorder melted
by the steel strikers or other per-
sons was an admirable contrast
to the incendiary utterances of
Mayor Black, of McKeesport.
The magistrate takes the broad
ground that the laws must be en-
forced and that no gathering
calculated to provoke disorder
will be permitted. Ignorance of
the law will excuse no one, and
the turbulent foreign element so
often used to pull the chestnuts
out of the fire by designing law
breakers will have to bear the
full consequences of their acts.
Such a judicial pronouncement
as this is the very thing needed
in the strike centers where there
is a disposition to indulge in
rioting as the chances of strike
success grow fainter. Officials
like Magistrate McGarvey are
the best friends the strikers
themselves have, for they show
that the law makes no such dis
examinations as demagogues may
promise, and hence union men,
like all other men, must refrain
from violence. The law, as the
Courier-Journal has repeatedly
said, is the poor mans best
friend, and the court which en-
forces its mandates is doing the
truest service to the laborer as
well as to his employers and the
community in general.-Courier-
Journal.

Another peculiar condition ex-
lists here that is rarely found in
other places. If a man is sick
or hurt his family is not left
without an income. His wages
are paid. He is attended to un-
til well and given ample oppor-
tunity to refund what he has
drawn. If he dies, the amount
he has drawn during his illness
or injuries is stricken from the
books and is not held against
his family or their little prop
erty.
This property is known in all
coal circles as a good place for
miners to work and for every
vacancy there are many appli-
cants. 1t is difficult to find a
similar situation, either in the
matter of the strike, the nature
of the miners or the system of
paying them. The mines of this
county have brought the county
from low in the ranks among
the counties of the State to sew
enth in position, and the SUBJ
stantial business men realize that
the mining industry has been the
making of the county.

campment legislates. The forty
three jurisdictions in the United
States are divided among the
various States, each having one,
except Massachusetts, and Rhode
Island, which are combined.
These States organized together
when Templarism was in its in
fancy in the United States and
they have continued together all
these years.
Massachusetts lays claim to
being the oldest Templar State in
the Union, though this is dis
puted by both Pennsylvania and
South Carolina. 1t is an open
question which is the oldest and
it can not be told which is really
entitled to the credit of organiz-
ing the first commandery, as it is
simply a matter of tradition.
Boston claims to have the largest
commandery of any city in the
United States. She has one with
nine hundred members, and if
there is another with a larger
membership l have not heard
of it.
"The California Commandery
was organized in 1852, and its
members have taken a prominent
part and have held leading posi-
tions under the State and Federal
Governments. Its members have
a Governor and include ex-Gov-
ernors, United States Senators,
prominent jurists and other we'll
known California men who have
been prominently identified with
the history of the State"

of local self-government, and
that we owe to you and the cou-
rageous Democrats of the State
a debt of gratitude that we can
never repay. 1t was through
your aid and influence in the

we were enabled to elect our
State ticket in 1899; and the
journal that states 'that the

cause of the people in that re-
lentless conflict are towards"

ment and gratitude as it has in

and influence of the independent
Democrats and in nominating
candidates, have placed leading
Democrats on the ticket in Davi-
ess, Mclean, Hopkins, Webster,
Union and Christian counties,
and | feel that | can confidently
say there is not Congressional

effort to induce Senator Triplett

Out Of Funds.

The Pittsburg correspondent of
the Philadelphia Press says the
reason the strikers have ceased to
give out news of the aid voted
them by labor organizations and
from other sources is because
these contributions are falling
far short of expectations. 1t is
also SAID that the Amalgamated
officials see nothing but a dreary
prospect in the future as to con-
tributions, and though they have
ample funds for the present these
cannot last long. The story is
extremely probable, for there is
no such general movement in
favor of the strikers as there was
in the Homestead difficulty, and
yet the association was soon des-
titute that year. The large sum
of 81, 100000 was distributed by
the Amalgamated Association
from all sources, but it is doubt
full that anything like as much as
this will be raised now.-Courier-

RIOT IN A SILK MILL.
fiowlng Mob Threatens to Drag Non

Pittston, Pa, Aug. pa Sec
ond riot occurred at the Sterling
silk mill this morning more Sc
rious than a clash which occurred
last night, and the bowling mob
now surrounding the mill threat

the non-union girls from the

When the strikers arrived at
the mill they were provided with
stones and other weapons. The
first object of the attack was a
small Italian settlement near the
mill. The non-union girls in the
last nights riot took refuge in
these houses and escaped from
the strikers crowd.
