Council met i'm regular session o1
Monday evening. The street commits
SioncrS time for the month Of Au-
gust, amounting to s2S6.63, was ordered
paid. Mr.. Van Sickle, of the street
committee, explained that this bill was
a little larger than usual. as a large
amount of extra work had to he done
before the cold weather sets in. In
regard to cross-walks. the matter was
| referred to the street committee with
power to act.
\ proposition'was accepted from the
| Lackawanna Telephone company, in
which it is agreed the borough can use
the company's poles for its own pur-
| poses, and on all poles which the bor-
ough and company occupy jointly, the
| borough cNcmpts the company from
| taxation.
a list of generations from taxes
was submitted by the financial COM
| lnittee. and was accepted. The seCre-
tary was directed to notify all par
! ties VINO ask to he exempted from
taxes i'm the future to apply to the
| finance committee.

| locations of the now telephones. They

Celsior Hose company, Olyphant Fire

An ordinance was passed extending the
time of the sewer contract of stephen
| Flannaghan to oct. /, 1902. Another
| ordinance was passed calling for a
special election in November in regard
to the sewer question. Some time ago,
the supreme court handed down a de-
Cision to the effect that the borough
could not legally pay for one-third of
! the cost of the sewer as the indebted
ness Of the borough had exceeded two
per cent. of the assessed valuation. In
| order to increase the Indebtedness, it
| is necessary to have a special cleo
tion, and for that purpose the meas
ure was introduced. The proposed in
crease of indebtedness will be about
$4,000.

A Novel Form of Gaming.

One of the amusements of the Bel
gian artisan is rather curious. He
keeps a special cock for growing, and
the bird which can outcrow its fellows
has reached the highest pinnacle of per-
fection. The mode of operation is to
place the cages containing the roosters
in long rows, for it appears that one
bird sets the other off growing. A
marker appointed by the organizers Of
the show is told off for each bird, bis
duty being to note carefully the num-
Der of crows for which 1t is responsible
in the same fashion as the laps are re-
corded in a bicycle race. The custom
airy duration of the match is one hour,
the winner being the bird which scores
the highest number of crows in the al
lotted time.

Not Unlucky in History,


Friday, which Is regarded as day
Of ill-!uck by the rest of the world,
ought TO be considered the lucklest of
all days for the Americans. Among the
historic events that occurred on Friday
are the discovery of America, Oct. IL,
1892, by Christopher Columbus, who
had sailed on Friday, Aug. 3. 1892. He
returned on Friday, and made the dis
covery of South America on Friday,
June IL, 1494. John Cabot received
his commission from Henry VIII. on
Friday. March 9, 1896. which resulted
in finding North America. Mendez
founded St Augustine on Friday, Sept.
Z, 1905. The Mayfower landed on Fri
day, Dec. %, 1920; George Washington
was born on Friday, Feb. %, 1892; on
Friday, June 16, 1775, Bunker Hill was
seized and fortified; on Friday, Oct. II,
1777. Burgoyne surrendered at Sara
toga, and on Friday, Sept. %, 1880,
ArnoId's treason was discovered. Then
came the surrender Of CORVALLIS, also
on Friday; and last, on Friday, July
Z, 1776, John Adams moved In the Con-
tinental Congress that the United

Benefit of Pure Air.

House air, with Its many impurities,
Oyerheated condition and general life
lessness is one Of the principal predls-
posing causes to colds and catarrhal
affections. Elderly people and others
who may be temporarily house-bound
and prevented from enjoying a regular
daily stroll outdoors can devise a fair
substitute as follows. Bundle up as If
for the usual constitutional. select a
large sunny room. preferably at the top
of the house, open wide the windows,
shut of the heat and move around
briskly, going to the window and in
haling the fresh air deeply through the
nostrils. Deep inhaIations of air at the
open window, taken gently through the
nose, impart an enlivening and tonic
influence to the whole nervous system,
which can soon be demonstrated by a
personal experiment.

TRADE IS SATISFACTORY.

Slight DlmlnutlOn Of Exports,

Bfadstreet's says. Despite some tr-
reguiarities in reports nom diuerent

whole Is of satisfactory volume for
this time OF year. Relatively the best
reports come from the Pacific coast,

the spring demand is opening we'll.
UnseaSonable weather in some sec.
tions, notably the East, has been bar

tivitv has been noted in some branches
Of the iron trade and sentiment has
been, on the whole, helped by clearer
view ot the possibilities contained IN
the recent "war talk," The quieting
down OF business abroad naturally
points to some diminution OF our ex'
port trade, in the cruder forms OF iron
and steel, copper and Lumbar, but for
finished products OF these and other
staples, the outlook is declared 10 he
still satisfactory. A feature in the
export line this week was the shipment
OF 5000 tons OF steel hillets to Glas.
gov from Birmingham, Ala, the
largest shipment OF this material ever
sent abroad from the South. Hevya

MYsrERY oE SHOE slzEa
Nnsliah and Preach standards Of Meass
urementa Are Csed.

~aeA8 AFN Csous
Although every one has his feet
measured for shoes. there are very few
persons who know what the sizes
marked upon the shoe stick mean.
There are two shoe sticks in use in
America and Europe. The stick used
In the United States was originally
English, and Is stlll used In England.
The rest OF Europe uses the French
stick.
The sizes on the English shoe stick
were derived from the length OF a bar,
ley corn, and they run three to the
inch. The first mark ON the stick, or
size l. Is made arbitrarily, just four
aud one-half Inches FROM the upright.
Why this distance was nxed upon does
not appear TO be known. For some 9TH
er reason which can only be guessed at
the graduated part OF the stick Is again
divided into two sets Of numbers.
These numbers begin at and run up
to H. aud then they begin again at l
and run mp to lS, The tirst numbers
from l to 8 are known as Infants sizes,
those from to 10 as chlldren's, from
IL TO = as misses sizes. from "a TO
6ls as women's, and from to Is as
mems sizes.
The French shoe stick Is divided into
great many more sizes than the Eng.
lish, and the French shoemaker sub
divides these again, as Is done with
the English sticks, into half sizes.
There Is no exact relationship between
the markings on the two sticks, but
the French size 10 corresponds to the
English infants /. and their size "A
Is the same as the English size 10 for
men. A woman who wears 2is shoe
by English measure would get a "a
or S5 by the French measure. and
man with a foot by English measure
would wear 40 shoe In France. Over
here the width Of the shoe Is deslg-
mated by a letter. while the French
use figures. The width AAA Is the
French 600. b Is the French and EE
Is the French width.-New York Sun.
