Uncle Josh Spruceby.

A plain story, told in simple yet dra-
matte language which interprets the
lives and actions of really honest people
has always claimed the undivided ad-
miration of the playgoing public. If
such tale is well staged and dramatl-
cally rendered it becomes an epoch Gre
alton Of the dramatic cycle. While
Uncle Josh Spruceby" does not lay
any claim to being the most original
play of its kind that has been offered to
the public, yet its makers do say that II
is one of the kind of stage stories that
will please the masses, from the top to
the lower floors of any theatre i'll which

Buckwheat Crop.

Buckwheat flour has made its appear
ance on the market, retailing at the rate
of 65 cents per % pounds. As might
have been inferred from the thriving
appearance presented by the fields here
abouts before the harvest was cut, the
buckwheat crop this year is exception
ally large, surprising any yield, it il
said, during the last thirteen years.
The farmers just now are busy thresh-
ing out the crop OF buck wheat and there
is not steam thresher anywhere that
is not busy every day of the week. Mr..
Alex. Moore of Rush township has a
crop of 265 bushels, which he has no
trouble in disposing of at 80 cents per
bushel. Not only is the straw, this
year, unusually heavy, but, he says, the
grain overruns in weight, fact which
would indicate thorough development
of the grain, which in turn ought to in
sure the best possible quality of flour.
So that the lover of buck wheat cakes,
this year, may look forward to feast
royal.
Mr.. Moore has had a great deal OF
experience both in growing buckwheat
| and in marketing the -four. He says
| the demand is not so great as might be
| imagined. The best market lies in Dan
vile, Lewisburg, Milton, Sunbury,
Bloomsbury and like towns where the
population is largely American. For.
eigners, such as make up the bulk OF
population in Shamokin and other towns
of the coal regions, care little for buck.
wheat -four and would not buy it even
| if it were sold lower than wheat flour
This may De due to the fact that they
have not learned how to bake buck
wheat cakes, purely American art
which unfortunately is not always mast
cred by Americans.

Putting food into diseased stomach
is like putting money into pocket with
holes The money is lost. All its value
goes for nothing. When the stomach
is diseased, with the allied organs of
digestion and nutrition, the food which
Is put into it is largely lost. The
nutriment is not extracted from it. The
body is weak and the blood impoverish-
ed.
The pocket cali be mended. The
stomach can be cured. That sterling
medicine for the stomach and blood,
Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery, acts with peculiar promptness
and power on the organs of digestion
and nutrition. 1t is a positive cure for
almost all disorders of these organs,
and cures also such diseases of the heart,
blood, liver and other organs, as have
their cause in weak or diseased condi-
tion of the stomach.

Limewater For Streets.
An English physician writing to
medical journal suggests that the
use of limewater, prepared fresh, for
watering streets in hot weather would
prove to be a practice productive of
sanitary comfort. The advantages
claimed for the practice are said to be
those. first, of aggregating together
loose particles of refuse and thus pre-
venting their being diffused by the
wind; second, of exercising a certain
Gntiseptic action; third, of preserving
wood paving. and, fourth, of rendering
wood less slippery.
