the variety of musical entertainment
thus afforded will be notable feature
OF the Exposition. Prominent among
the organizations engaged is Sousa's
Band. which Is known wherever there
are lovers of music and whose sue
cess In the rendition of military music
has been remarkable.
The most notable achievement in the
history of International events was per-
haps the triumphal tour made by Sou
sa and his band through Europe, eX-
tending from April TO September, 1900.
1t was % years since an American
band had been heard on the European
Continent. and so emphatic was the

Band has been engaged to give con-
certs during the Exposition.
Fanciuillis Seventy-first Regiment

hit i'm Washington and New York City.
When the Ancient and Honorable Ar

be heard.

men of that section. 1t has achieved a
great reputation in the central part of
New York State.
The Boston Ladies' Military Band,

Pan-A American Exposition Aglow
with Beautiful Colors.

Perhaps nothing has been more talk
ed about than the color scheme OF the
Pan-American. II was n daring thing
to attempt TO array in colors sae ex-
tensive buildings OF this Exposition, for
scarcely any precedent existed for such
an undertaking. and TO attempt 1t and
fail would be disastrous indeed. Ii
was out of the question to duplicate the
White City at Chicago Something abb
solutely new must be devised for the
Pan-American at Buffalo. Happily the
Spanish renaissance architecture fur
nished the hint for the solution of this
problem, and now that 1t has been
solved and the color scheme is seen to
be so well adapted to the purposes or
exposition architecture IL is realized

Automobile. at Exposition.

The automobile has been developed
since the Columbian Exposition at
Chicago. What marvels may be ex-
hibited and in practical daily use IA the
Pan-American Exposition can only be
dimly conjectured. The railway, YES
sci and vehicle exhibits at Buffalo this
year will outrival in interest anything
that has been possible in the past.

In 1881 the largest arc light machine
made supplied current for &c lights,
and when Mr.. Brush made 80 light
trical exhibits of the Pan-American Ex-
position the largest type of Brush arc
light machine will be shown, and this
will afford interesting comparison with
the machines of 90 years ago.

A Railroad Promised Through This
Section.
Within the past few years propos.
ed new railroads to tap the anthrG-
cite coal fields have been heard of
periodically, but they never mater
ialized.
A railroad with its western ter
minus at Wllliamsport and its east
ern at Port Jervis, is now promised,
and Wilkes Barre is to be one of the
most important cities it will touch
A charter for the constructionof the
road has been granted and among
the capitalists interested are sever
al Wilkes -Barreans.
The survey has just been com.
pleted by Ira Hartwell, who is well
mp in railroad construction. Con
structive work will begin in the
spring, it is said. The intention of
the projectors IS to tap several rich
lumber districts and also a portion
of the anthracite coal fields.
The new road is planned to start
at Williamsport on the West Branch
of the Susquehanna, and cross from
there in the direction of Harvey s
lake, thence along Harvey s creek to
West Nanticoke. Crossing the riv-
er above Nanticoke, the route cuts
across toward Ashley and, skirting
the mountains, passes the Empire,
continues along the mountain at a
point back of the Baltimore reser.
voir, crosses the cut off at grads
back of Miners Mills, thence by di-
rect route to Gouldsboro, on through

about truck raising is not worth
knowing.
AS there has been so much sick
ness of late and in some cases whole
families have been afflicted l have
wondered if there has not been con-
siderable suffering for some needed
necessaries. I hope that has not
been, but the motto-"The poor ye
have always with you" would. be a
good one to remember. Also charity
should begin at home. Never mind

DINGMAN'S FERRY.

Cook books seem to fall short in
one respect They do not give the
value of foods or their effect on the
system cooking is lurgely chemical
operation and the books should at
least give an idea of the digestibility
of the preparations and which are
most beneficial to the system. An
examination of the nutritious quail
ties of vegetables raised here shows
as follows potatoes 100, cabbage so,
onions 35, lettuce 20, cucumbers 20,
peas 30, beans 80, sweet corn so,
squash 10 and pumpkin 10. Many
vegetables named in catalogues are
not raised here because it is not
known how to cook them properly
The following are good and palat-
able. Parsnips, asparagus, dande-
lion, Egyptian onions, radishes, ear
ly turnips, carrots, leek, celery, eel
eriac, tomatoes, egg plant, beets,
satisfy and mushrooms may be add
ed also artichakes and cress to make
garden what it should be half the
family living.
Sandyston is an authority on
chickens and he might give us some
hints on the manner of feeding, and
care to make the hens produce eggs,
Our method is warm coop with
means for supplying artificial heat,
dry scratching place, scattering a
mixture of grains among straw to
induce exercise. chopped roots,
crushed bones and warmed water.
To those interested in crimson
clover we would say imported seed
does not reproduce well. The nat
i've seed is more hardy The price
is about $4 bushel.
The new century begins with
much sickness not only here but
elsewhere.
Armand Heater is afflicted with
rheumatism which confines him in
bed his mother has been bed ridden
since last May and his father is con-
fined to his room by illness. A
daughter and her husband lives
with them and lately Fred Mink has
been domiciled with them by the
poor authorities of Lehman. Last
Friday morning the chimney of the
house caught fire. Litz ran up a
ladder to the roof his wife followed
with pail of water and when near
the top the ladder slipped throwing
Mrs. Litz to the ground. Her hus-
band jumped to her rescue and was
injured. Armand Heater crawled
out of bed and carried her in the
house. The fire burned out without
damage. Mr.. Mink ran away and
was ready to go to a fire another
day.
We came near getting in trouble
for criticising our school house.
Some of our directors say that in
their days they had slab seats in a
log house and got along very we'll.
So they did, but I claim that slab
benches rickety buildings and other
things to match will not turn out so
thrifty farmers and progressive men
and women as those trained in bet
ter surroundings and the poor farm
ers we see in the county go far to
prove the fact.
Not much difference between cats
and gofsip managers, the former one
said to carry disease germs from
house to house and the latter carry
what is often more distressing and
annoying.
Frank L. Layton and family, OF
Lehman, are afflicted with grip.
Like Sussex Pike is afflicted with
that plague of other expenses.
