The old Council goes ont, the new
goes in Monday evening next.
After auditing the standing charges
against the town, us these have been
fixed by special committees, officers,
transfers, etc, it is hard to see where
the new body is to find the means for
any degree of town improvement.
But it is to be hoped that the time is
past when committees have to be paid
for coming to conclusions i'll their own
minds that nothing can be done.
For instance, under the new regime it
is hoped that it will cost nothing to find
out that nothing can he done toward get
ting the dust aud mud off Union street :;
or that water which Council doeSn't see
going to waste is not worth saving
The toughest expense that an in
dividual can incur is the fare which he
pays on personally conducted tour to
find out that he is bankrupt.
Lufer.-It is learned that an effort will
be made by the new Council to start the
work this year of paving the streets on
the instalment plan, Il Ia Meyersdale.
The new body should also direct the
construction of the electric road on
Broadway instead of Water street.

FOR THE CHILDREN
Has Keynote Of Success.

There's nothing like giving a boy a
little encouragement once in awhile"
said a wealthy down town merchant
the other day. II know l owe a great
deal to a remark a grabbed old farmer
made TO me when I was quite small.
IL was trying TO split cross grained
hickory log. and as our wood pile was
close by the roadside my efforts at
tracted the notice OF farmer, who
stopped his team.
81 was greatly hattered by his atten-
ton. because ne was the crossest ana
surllest man in town and never took
any notice Of us boys except TO sit In
his orchard with n shotgun In his hand
when the apples were ripe. SO put In
my best Hicks and covered my hands
with blisters. but the log refused to
split. | hated To be beaten, but there
was no help for 1t. The old man motto
ed my chagrln."
"IIump! | thought you'd have to
give 1t up he said, with a chuckle.
81 made no reply. hut the way that
axhead went into that log was reve-
lation to me. AS | drove It into the
knots they yielded. There was n cheer
full crackle. the gap widened, and soon
the halves lay before me, and the farm
er drove off discounted.
"But l never forgot that scene. When
first went into business. | made mis-
takes, as every young man will do But
whenever got caught I'm doubtful en-
terprise remembered that my friends
were standing around waiting for the
chance TO say, Il thought you'd have TO
give 1t up!
I'm spite Of himself that old farmer
gave me the keynote OF my success.
80 you see that If boy has any
grit in him he is bound to profit by the
right sort of encouragement, and In
that connection, l may remark, a well
placed sheer is often worth more than
a barrel of taffy."

Spider and sixpence.

A correspondent sends us remarka-
BILE instance of adaptation OF instinct
I'm n trapdoor spider. Says the writer:
"A friend Of mine noticed near his
camp a trapdoor spider run I'm front OF
him and pop into It's hole, pulling the
lid down as it disappeared. The lid
seemed so neat and perfect a circle
that the man stopped to examine 1t and
found. to his establishment, that 1t was
a sixpence! There was nothing but silk
thread covering the top Of the coin. but
underneath mud and silk thread were
coated on and shaped convex, as usual.
The coin had probably been swept out
Of the tent with rubbish" Commenting
on this, contributor to Nature says:
"As Is well known, the doors OF trap
door spiders burrows are typically
made Of dattened pellets Of earth stuck
together with silk or other adhesive
material. The unique behavior Of the
spider in question showed no little dis
elimination on her part touching the
suitability as to size, shape and weight
Of the object selected to fulfill the pur-
pose for which the sixpence was used"

Most beautiful are the belts that are

those Of metal work blended with tones
OF gold and bronze. An instance admir-

the eyes Of peacock's tail feathers most
dcllciously executed on il, while the
plaque was n representation of breast
and wing feathers In enamel. This belt
would be suitable to wear with either a
cloth or lace dress, says Home Chat.
Lace is less seen as the facing Of reyers

embroidered with gold. silver and col

wrought with embroidery are going to
