Counterfeit Quarter.

Another counterfeit quarter is going
the rounds and there seems to be a
great many of them. So cleverly is
the piece made that even when one is
told of it he must compare it with
another and good quarter to see the
difference. The spurious piece bears
the date of 1900 and is one of the
best copies of the genuine ever put in
circulation. 1t weighs almost a grain
more than the good coin and contains
more silver. Among the distinguish
ing marks to be found are the follow
ing: The E in the word ave" on the
face side is prominent, whereas on the
good coin the letter looks more like
an F. On the stall" side the eagles
head is defective-not curved properly.
The beak is pointed and the head is
smaller than on the genuine. The
shield is larger than that of the genu-
inc coin. The eagles wings are thinner
and point upward more than the orig
inal. The eagles legs look more like
a turkeys legs. The eagle is defective
all through, and the work on the entire
coin is inferior to that on the genuine.
The spurious coin is both thinner and
of less diameter than the genuine.

Rice and Corn.

with potatoes soaring skyward to-
ward the two dolar.a sack mark, saws
an exchange, the proper classes with
whom the nutritious tubers are a
staple article of diet, are confronted
with the necessity for finding substi-
tutes tor them. Not only has the
potato suddenly become a luxury. but
other vegetables, particularly beans
and cabbage, are now beyond the
purses of the poor.
Whether the exceptional rise in the
prices of vegetables is due to a short
age in the supply or to the cold storage
men In the West who have bought up
the supply or not is a question that
the wage Garner has no sine to con-
slder He is confronted by condi-
ton. 1t is a good time for him to pay
attention to the food experts and diet
etlc chemists who have been telling
HIM all along that there is more real
nutrition IN rice and corn than there
is in potatoes. In fact, there appears
to be nothing outside of stringency
in the vegetable supply that will direct
the attention of the poorer classes to
the wonderful nutritive properties OF
our own Indian maize.
Boiled rice and boiled potatoes are
similar in their ingredients, possessing
about the same percentages of starch,
albumlnous matter, and water. With
rice at 10 cents a pound there is no
reason why the poor should suffer for
nutritious food.
The dietetic chemists and food an
alysists show even a more marked ad-
vantage for Indian corn. Corn con-
tans more phosphates and postein,
for muscle and BRAIN. than potatoes.
Moreover, the palatable dishes that
may be prepared from it lar exceed
the number of dishes that may be pre-.
pared from potatoes. With corn at
o5 cents bushel sack the food posi-
blitles for the poor in this king OF
American native products are almost
incalculable.
1t would be blessing to wage-earn-
ing humanity if circumstances would
conspire to take it off a potato diet
for while and acquaint it with the
muscle-making and brain building
elements OF rice and corn. With these
cereals within their reach a vegetable
famine should have no terrors for the
poor.

A MILTON TRAGEDY.
Skull Crushed With a spado-Blow Struck
in Sell Defense.

The electric light plant, at Milton,
was the scene of tragedy Sunday
evening, about halfpast 8 o'clock, in
which Ambrose Mcfarland, aged
nearly thrty-five years and generally
respected, was killed. Death was the
result of blow struck by Daniel
Notes.-The, fireman at the plant, and a
spade was the weapon. Only meagre
details Of the shocking affair have
been learned, but it appears at the
time above stated Mcfarland entered
the electric light plant, and walking
up to Notes.-The, who was engaged
about the fire, drew a revolver from
his pocket, accompanying the move
with the remark:
SNOW | intend to shoot you !"
Mcfarland, it is said, had previous
ly threatened the life of the fireman,
who, believing that the former was
about to carry his threat in,o execu-
ton, raised his shovel, and with the
blade struck Mcfarland over the
head, crushing his skull. The latter
dropped, dying in few minutes. The
only eye witness of the Tragedy was a
grandson of the fireman.
Notes.-The has surrendered himself.
He is man of about 60 years Of
age and is much respected and in this
affair has the sympathy of the COM
munity
The case is very strange one, be-
cause of the absence OF any appar-
ent motive.

Union Co.'s Coming Fair at Lewisburg.

The 4Sth Annual Fair and exhlbl-
ton Of the Union County Agricul-
tural Society will be held at Brook
Park, Lewisburg, Pa, on September
"a, IS, 26 and 27, 1901.
This organization, nearly half a
century old, is one of the standard
agricultural societies in the Keystone
Commonwealth. 1t has a reputation
far and wide for the excellence of its
annual exhibitions and the high char
acter of its attractions, attested to by
the large crowds that assemble each
year on lis spacious and we'll equipped
grounds just beyond the western
suburbs of Lewisburg.
The society has an excellent track,
with a record of a:o94. The grand
stand is SO located that all portions Of
the track may seen.
Full particulars are given in the an
nual books, just published by the So
ciety. Send a postal to C. Dale

The Mad Dog Scare.

There was mad dog scare in New
York the other day which was direct
result of the dog days. They did not
affect the dog; it was the people of the
metropolis who seemed to be both
cred.
The dog was quietly trotting along
Amsterdam Avenue, minding his own
business and allowing other people to
mind theirs, when some boys spied
him and began throwing tin cans and
stones at him. Naturally, he ran.
Naturally, they chased him, and as it
was hot day and the dog did not see
the necessity of this sort of thing, he
began to lose his temper and snapped
at one or two people whom he passed.
The door of a vaudeville theatre was
open, and the hunted animal lodged
in and ran down the aisle, yelping out
his predlcament in dog language; but
no body there had studied that tongue
and the result of his advent was a
panic. Women grabbed their child
rem and sprang upon the seats, as if
the canine intruder had been a mouse;
the soubrette on the stage stopped
singing and screamed. When she saw
the dog coming toward her, she made
an exit not provided for in the pro.
gram, and the tired beast made for a
corner of the hall which looked quiet,
and lay down, painting.
A policeman was on hand by that
time, and he came up, with a chair
held between him and the dog, shot
the animal, and removed the deceased.
Then the show went on.
This is fairly good example of the
manufacture of mad dog scare. Of
course, there is such thing, now and
then, as case of hydrophobia, but
some cases which are taken for that
are nothing but common, ordinary
madness, in the Yankee sense of the
word-madness which is the result of
temper and nerves, not of organic
disease of any kind. 1t would save
time and trouble to recognize the dis
tlnction and impress upon the public
that dog has nerves, just like any
body else, and if he is teased and
tormented in hot weather, he is likely
to become nervous, irritable and cross.
In that case, he does not need to be
chased up the street by a mob with
sticks and stones nearly as much as
he needs to be let alone and kindly
treated. The former treatment will
produce very good imitation, entirely
unnecessary, OF real hydrophobia.

September Weather.
Hicks the Weather Prophet Tells US What 10
Look for This Month.

Rev. Ira Hicks, who has been very
successful as weather prognosticator,
has announced the following as his
predictions for the month of September
August's concluding storm period will
extend into September. Reactionary
disturbance will show themselves
about the 5th. Another storm period
is central on the Sih, and much viol-
ence in the elements is due from the
9th to the 18th. The magnetic and
electrical forces usually dormant in
other globe and atmosphere will reach
a maximum state of unrest about the
18th. This will likely be accompanied
by auroral displays disturbing tele-
graphy and Illuminating the northern
sky. Then follows another reaction.
AIRY period central on the 10th or 18th
changes to warmer weather and much
rain. The storm period central on
the 2end is coincidental which the
centre of the earth,s equinox. A
touch of frost, snow and early winter
will close the month in the northern
regions.

Brooms Will Cost More.

A dispatch from Reading says: "rhe
new broom that sweeps clean will soon
cost housewives more money. Lo-
cal manufacturers have advanced
wholesale figures, and the retail pr.ce
is going up anywhere from twenty i've
to fifty cents dozen, with promise of
another jump shortly. A few months
ago first class broom corn could be
purchased for sos per ton. 1t has
gone up to $I3o to $I45 a ton, with
indications of still further rise. Man
ufacturers declare the crop this year
is practically ruined"

Copper Found Near Tivoli.

Along Muncy Creek near Tivoli,
where Smith, Conrad & Burrows, of
Philadelphia, recently leased land, a
rich vein of copper ore three or four
feet in thickness has been found, be-
ing str uck in tunnel driven into the
hillside at twenty-five feet depth. The
tunnel will be driven into the hill one
hundred feet and shaft sunk to test
the depth of the vein. The copper
which is on the land OF John Fox, is
SAID to assay 81 per cent pure copper,
and to be better discovery than the
one recently made at Beaver Dam.

OH for xhe
Children

Give them oil-cod-liver oil.
It's curious to see the result.
Give it to the peevish, fret
ful child, and he laughs. Give
it to the pale, anamic child,
and his face becomes rosy and
full of health. Take a flat
chested child, or a child that
has stopped growing, give him
the oil, and he will grow big
and strong like the rest.
This is not a new scheme.
1t has been done for years.
Of course you must use the
right oil. SCOTS Emulsion
is the one.
SCOTS Emulsion neither
Looks nor tastes like oil because
we are so careful in making it
pleasant to take.

Band Trees With Cotton.
Agricultural Department Tells How to Get
Rid Of Caterpllars.

The United States department OF
agriculture announces that the cater
pillar which is doing so much damage
to maple, linden and other trees is the
product of the tussock moth, so called
from the three tussocks or tufts of hair
so prominent on the caterpillar. The
fact that the female moth is without
wings tends to simplify somewhat the
method OF prevention, especially to
those trees not yet affected.
A broad, thick strip of raw cotton
tied around the trunk and renewed
occasionally will prove effective. Such
banding will be useful also in cases
where the trees have already been at
tackled, as many caterpillars drop from
the trees, and the cotton prevents
their return. Such eggs as are de-
posted on the trees are usually low
down on the trunk, and can easily be
removed by scraping. In view of this
nuisance at the present time it be-
hooves individual owners of trees to
take prompt steps to abate the evil for
the present, and prevent it Tor the
future.
l.. o. Howard, United States ento-
mologist, will furnish copies of Farm
ers Bulletin, No. 90, with interesting
illustration and descriptions of the
moth and caterpillar.

Canned Peaches.

Pare and halve your peaches and
cover with cold water. When ready
to can, weigh the fruit and allow one
third weight in sugar, or for each jar
allow one cup of sugar and two cups
OF water; the water in which the peach
es have been soaked can be strained
and used. Cook just enough of the
fruit to fill two jars at time; as soon
as they can be pierced with "splint"
and are not "gritty" put them into the
jars and seal.
