Is Pennsy Behind Itp

"Is the Pennsylvania railroad behind
tho proposed new trolley or steam road
that is to be run from iazlcton TO
Wilkes Barre. and is the Pennsy MAX
ing a bold stroke. through the con-
struCtion ri the proposed line. to even
tualy got into Scranton?' is a question
asked by the Hazleton Sentinel in its
issue of Thursday.
1T is generally believed. and the
projectors say. that the charter re-
Gently granted at Trenton. y. j.. is, for
the running of a trolley line from
Hazleton 10 Wilkes Barre over a short
route. which. it is estimated. will be
about twenty-five miles. or Just one
half of the distanc" by steam road.
Reports are anoat. however. that
instead of trolley line a new railroad
will be built from tins city TO th"
county seat and then extended to
Scranton. where the Pennsylvania
railroad at present does not enter.
The charter Of the company gives
it he right to operate lines in any part
of the state. and under this provision
ii would be easy to get into l.acka =
wanna county. 1t is said that the right
uf way ha" already been secured and
tnat all the plans have been laid for
the extension of the Pennsy system
There is IA grade of only per cent.
from IIaHlcton to the county seat. one
tunnel must he constructed. and that
will be through the mountains Just be-
law Wilkes Barre. 1t will be about a
mile long. This will really be the slow
est. and in some respects Inc most
difficult part of the undertaking.
What lends color To the belief that
the Pcnnsy is making some effort To
enter Scranton is the fact that during
the last two months several ladies.
acting apparently on their own respon-
Sibility. have been buying valuable
property in the heart Of that city. 1t
is said that they are not acting for
themselves. but represent the Pennsy,
which is using tn" women so that no
one will know that TIE road has its
eyes on Scranton and that property
owners will not ask cNorbitant prices
for their real estate.

Insect Pests In Brazil.

s
should take a small gang Of prac-
teal coffee planters from Ceylon with
good digestions to be not afraid OF
ghiggars, ticks and Berne flies, to say
nothing of the dear little mosquito.
Z he writer had extracted during four
years in Brazil no less than 200 CHG
CARS from underneath every toe nail Of
both feet. The Portuguese, Brazilians,
Italians and Spaniards called it a rec
reation on Sunday to dig them out of
each others feet
OF all the vile insects on earth, the
Berne fly is the worst. She lays her
eggs inside your flesh and matches
three very ugly insects an inch long
with three rings Of bristles round the
body and sharp nippers. They take
about six weeks to develop under your
skin, then commence to turn somer-
saults just when you want to go to
sleep after a hard days work in the
sun The natives Of Brazil adopt a
novel way of extracting the brute
when full grown. They tie on piece
Of raw pork. and the Berne comes out
of your skin and takes a header into
the piece Of pigskin. Ceylon Observer.

An Afghan Trick.

During shooting match in the pres
ence Of the governor Of kandahar the
sirdar noticed to his astonishment that
the heads Of sparroWs were the fa-
vorite butt Of the marksmen, who but
seldom missed their aim, Whereupon
he declared that it was far more diff
cult to hit an egg. Sir Peter laughed at
the supposition, but the sirdar stood
his ground, and the matter was put to
the test. An egg was suspended on a
wall, and the soldiers fred at it; but,
strange to say, not one of them hit the
egg.
The governor and his suit kept their
countenances and excused the nonsuc-
cess Of the firing party on the ground
of the difficulty Of the thing. At last
a ball happened to hit the thread to
which the egg was fastened, and it fell
to the ground without breaking. Now
the mystery was solved. The cunning
Afghan had used a blown egg, and
the featherWeight shell had been NOV
ed aside each time by the current of
air in front Of the ball and thus escap-
ed being hit.

Sure Proof.

the French and accused Of being a

Wanted, sharp Knives.

have often wondered where one
could find the sharp knives Of the
world, z said an observant citizen, and
really the problem is one of some seri-
BUSINESS, and one upon reflection, is al
most driven to the conclusion that
there are no sharp knives id the world
Have you ever noticed how hard it
is to find really sharp knife? Stop
the first ran you meet and ask him to
let you hare his knife for a minute and
listen to what he says about it. Nine
times out of ten he viii say, = have
one, but it ism t very sharp. You may
pick out your men ndifferently, and
they viii always tell you the same
thing. If a man should ask me for my
knife to sharpen 4 lead pencil or to uses
for some other purpose, the chances
are 4 would say about the same thing,
g have one, but it isn't gyery sharp.
And really the answer thus made is
generally true. Men do not keep sharp
knives It may be because they do not
need sharp knives or it may be a mat
ter Of laziness, but in any event they
do not carry them around with them,
or il they do they always give their.

Orderly Habits.

1T is a curious fact, commented a
man recently, that almost no mother
realizes the Importance Of bringing her
son up to orderly habits. She impresses
upon her daughters from the time they
are old enough to recognize any re-
sponsibility the necessity to keep their
rooms tidy, put away articles after use
and care for their belongings at all
times.
The boy, however, is exempt from
any similar requirement not only in
his own room, but throughout the
house. He reads newspapers and
throws them on the floor, gets up from
a diyan leaving the cushions packed
and shapeless, without the slightest re-
proof, the only notice taken of the oc-
currence, indeed, being to ask sister,
if he has one, to pick up the one and
straighten the other. The women OF
the family follow in his footsteps all
day long, removing whatever disorder
he creates.
Yet there is no business occupation
upon which that boy will presently en-
ter in which order is not a Fundamentals;
necessity Girls, on the other hand. do
not, asa rule, suffer so seriously from
lack Of order, or at least conseqIlen-
ces are not SO continually disagreeabla
and costly as is the case with boys. -
