Power of Health Officers.
They Can Close Churches, Schools, Theatres
and Stop Public Gatherings.

DR. Benz amin Lee, secretary Of the
state board of health, gave authorities
of Shamokin some information the
other day which seems to be needed
in many parts of the state. the bur.
CESS of the place, together with a
couple OF the health officials, went to
Philadelphia to see DIR. Lee regarding
their authority to deal with a small
pox epidemic. They reported that a
quarantine had been established, the
effectiveness of which depended upon
he honor of the people. They were
told to employ a sufficient number of
competent officers and depend upon
them for an effective quarantine. In
response to questions, DR.. Lee in
struc,ed them that they had authority
to close the schools, and churches,
Sunday schools and theatres as well,
and stop all public gatherings. In
case their orders were not complied
with they had the power TO Immedi-
ately make arrests and hne the offend
ers. He also instructed the board to
spare no expense in stamping out the
contagion. These things should be
known and understood in all parts OF
the state. The kind of quarantine
that is established in some places is
merely a farce. This is sometimes
due to the carelessness and indiffer
ence of the authorities; sometimes be
cause there is objection to spending
money in this way, but in grea
many cases it is due to the fact tina
the legal authorities have no rea
knowledge of the responsibility in
trusted to them and the power givel
them to act. Contagious diseas
would have small chance of.spreadinI
in Pennsylvania if all authority of tn
law were exercised promptly ant
effectively.

East before she will find time to ex-
tend her trans-Slberian road up over
those thousands of miles to the East
Cape.
To the conservative mind it would
seem that the necessarily mutual pro-
ject, from the East and from the
West, will scarcely be one OF this
century's undertaking. But the world
moves rapidly nowadays. Here is Mr..
Henze's opinion:
"The child is now in pinafores and
the young man is in collage who will
yet rush through Alaska IN a palace
car, across the bleak expanse OF Beh-
ring Straits on an iceboat ferry and
go sweeping over the steppes of Russia
on the rail route from Chicago to
Paris"

The Point of View.

Much in this life depends upon the
point of view. Here is a story which
aptly illustrates this:
At one of the reunions of the Army
of the Cumberland several ex-officers
of the Union army fell to discussing
the wounds they had received during
Civil War A. last one of their num-
Der turned to Colonel B, a tall,
fine, soldierly looking man, who had
renamed silent during the discussion,
and said,-
"Well, Colonel, you seem to be
the only one OF the party who escaped
unlnjured."
"Oh. no, l didn't" answered the
Colonel quickly; 81 was shot at An
tietam. A bullet went through my
nose, taking the gristle out" He wig.
gled his nose from side to side to
prove the truth of his statement.
"Ah, well, you were quite fortu
nate, after all, said Major M -
consolingly; "if the bullet had struck
a half-inch farther In your soul woult
have been launched into eternity"
eyes," said the Colonel, sand i
the blamed thing had gone a hall
inch farther out it wouldn't have hi
me at all."--V. F. HOWARD, in /anu

Bow the Mistletoe Comes to Be.
The Seeds Stick 10 the Birds Bills, and
They Wipe Them OF on the Tree Branches.

The story of how the mistletoe gets
on the trees is most interesting one.
Covering the mistletoe twigs are pearly
white berries. These come in the
winter season, when food is compare
lively scarce, and hence some of our
birds eat them freely. Now when a
robin eats cherry he swallows simply
the meat and flips the stone away.
The seed of the mistletoe the bird
cannot flip. 1t is sticky and holds to
his bill. His only resource is to wipe
it off, and he does so, leaving it stick
ing to the branches of the trees on
which he is sitting at the time. This
seed sprouts after time, and not
finding earth--which indeed its an
cestral habit has made 1t cease want
ing--it sinks its roots into the bark OF
the tree and hunts there for the pipes
that carry the sap. Now the sap in
the bark is the very richest in the
tree, far richer than that in the wood,
and the mistletoe gets from its host
the choicest OF food. With a strange
foresight it does not throw its leave:
away, as do most parasites, but keeps
them to use in winter, when the tree
is leafess.-- Professor S. G. Schumacher

How the Pope is Elected.

The following details regarding the
making of new Pope are quoted from
Mrs. Belloc-Lowndes's paper in the
January LippineOHs Magazine:
"Let US pass the jea ously guarded barriers
anil place ourselves in the vast Pauline
Chapel, where, morning and evening, the
Cardinals come to vote until the Pontlf is
chosen by the necessary two-thrds majority.
See, there are the three preside IS OF the
ballot, Cardinal Bishop, Cardinal. Priest,
and Cardinal. Deacon. At the altar is a
Cardinal, making oath that he will cast his
vote without intrigue or favor of man, but on
his conscience for the greatest glory ot God
and the best welfare of the Church Rising
from his knees, he passes to the centre OF
the chapel, and there before the three pres
idents he places his vote in chalice, and SO
do all the other Cardinals present in turn.
Each ballot paper bears in feigned hand
the name Of the Cardinal for whom the vote
is cast, while on the corner is written the
name of the voter The latter is carefully
folded over and sealed, not to be published
unless an election is made. "

Monkeys

"All wcll-all happy-lots
of fun. That is the regular
report from the monkey cage
of Barnum's Circus ever since
the keepers began dosing the
monkeys with SCOTS Emul-
sion. Consumption was carry
ing off two thirds of them
every year and the circus had
to buy new ones.
One day a keeper accident
ally broke a bottle of SCOTS
Emulsion near the monkey
cage and the monkeys eagerly
Tapped it up from the floor.
This suggested the idea that it
might do them good. Since
then the monkeys have received
regular doses and the keepers
report very few deaths from
consumption. Of course it's
cheaper to buy SCOTS Emul
sion than new monkeys-anc
that suits the circus men.
Consumption in monkey:
and in man is the same disease

Cousins Cannot Marry.

The time is fast approaching in the
state when first cousins cannot marry.
Last winter the state legislature pass
ed law forbldding first cousins to
marry each other. The Governor
did not sign the bill, and it became
law without his signature ON June "a,
1901. The bill takes effect on Janu-
ary I, 1909, and after that time the
register and recorders OF the varlou
counties will not be permitted
issue licenses to persons so related.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED by
local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the car
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an ia
famed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness
Is the result, and unless the infamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
