"And you haul water seven miles
for your family and stOck?"

you dig well? ?"
Because it's jest as far one way
as the other, stranger.

The Duty
of Mothers.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from mothers neglect TO
properly instruct her daughter ]
Tradition says "woman must SUI
fer" and young women are so taught;
There is little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. II young
woman suffers severely she needs treat
ment, and her mother should see that
she gets it.
MANY mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examine
ton: but no mother need hesitate 10
write freely. about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkhams Laboratory
at Lynn, Mass, and secure from d
woman the most efficient advice with
out charge.

Ancient Perfumes.

1t is difficult to realize how unlver-
cal was the knowledge and use OF scents
in ancient times, says Invention.
Greek tradition AYERS that perfume
came direct from Venus's toilet, and
reeipes for essences were inscribed on
marble tablets all about the temples OF
the goddess.
Egypt was a great mart Tor all
kinds of perfumes. Women made
themselves beautiful through the use
of essences, and guests were received
in chambers strewn with flowers. Even
the dead were not forgotten, for the
embalRed mummy was saturated with
perfumes and spices, and sweet scents
were kept burning before their statues
Those who could not afford this
painted scent bottles on their tomos'
The ancients thought that certain
perfumes had medical value. Pllny
mentions S. remedies derived from
rue, 80 from rose, Al from mint, Il
from the lily, and II from the violet
Thyme has tonic quality, aud Law
ender is soothing. PatchOuli is slim
ulating, jasmine is cheering, while he
liotrope is an irritant unless used IN
small quantities. There are those in
our day who think sandal tonic and
its virtues were known to the Greeks,
who anointed themselves with it for the
Olympian games.
The Jews love of perfume was so
great that morning and night they
burned sweet incense Of myrrh, and
beds were perfumed with aloes and
cinnamon. So indispensable were
scents considered for the bridal toilet
that one-twelfth of the bridal dowry
was set apart for their purchase.
The famous Balm Of Gilead was
distilled from a bush which formerly
covered the mountains of Gilead, but
this of late has become so scarce that
only the Sultan can be supplied.
The trade in perfumes was enormous
in Greece. Like the Egyptians, they
understood the destinations of flowers,
and an Anthenian not only perfumed
his house, but scented his drinking
vessels with myrrh, the gum of tree
which grows in Arabia.
To such an extent was the love OF
perfume carried that each part of the
body had its peculiar unguent; the
hair required sweet maUoram; the
neck and knees, wild thyme the arms
balsam the cheeks and breast, palm
oil and the feet and legs, sweet ONT
ment. Indeed, the perfumers' shops in
Athens were the rendezvous of the
beaux to discuss politics and intrigue
The love of perfumery among the
Greeks spread into Rome, and soon
the Roman perfumers became SO IA
nous that bunch of sage indicated
their shops. A Roman lady frequently
kept one slave to sprinkle her hair.

CASHIER DISCHARGED.

Had Failed TO Collect Interest on Notes
Held by Bank Agaiust His Father.
HAZLETON, Pa, Jan. 14.-C. II.
Lindemann, for the last six years cashier
Of the Iazleton National Bank, one Of
the foremost financial institutions in
Northeastern Pennsylvania, was dis
charged Saturday by the directors for a
peculiar offense. An examination Of the
books made few days ago disclosed that
no interest had been received for three
years past on three demand notes held
by the bank against Mr.. Lindemann's
father, although interest was due on
them every six months.
When Cashier Lindemann was called
upon TO explain he said that because Of
financial difficulties his father had been
unable to meet the interest. He admitted
that he made no endeavOr to press him
for payment, nor had he made good to
the bank the accumuating interest,
amounting to $1,S02.SJ, out of his own
pocket. He had been unable TO do this,
he said because he had otherwise finan-
cially aided his brother and father. This
explanation was not satisfactory to the
directors and |. Z. Pardee, president Of
the bank, demanded Mr.. Lindemann' s
immediate resignation, which was given,
Mr.. Lindemann's other accounts are all
straight.

STATE Superintendent Schaeier, in a
paragraph Of his annual report, says; In
the country one seldom hears of COM
plants that the pupils have too much to
study and that they grow nervous from
too many branches in the curriculum.
Evening study is not displaced by fash
iouable parties for children, by junior
societies organized in the name of the
church, and by other well intended
schemes of enjoyment, which keep the
children M late a; night and send them
to school fatlgued, nervous and unable TO
think and study. Sound sleep, heathful
diet, fresh air, and an abundance of eNer-
else prepare the brain Cor study, and the
school is not blamed for injury done to
the children by the social life ofihe home.
Comparison fthe pupils in rural schools
with those attending schools in the cities
is sufficient to convince the careful OBJ
server that although worry and undue
memory work have disastrous conse-
quences, children suffer more from the
late hours and over pressure OF fashion,
able society than from the tasks prescrib-
ed by the school,

The Bribei Legislator.

A number Of years ago, when bribery
and corruption in the legislature was
rampant, and the people in consequence
demanded new Constitution increasing
the number of representatives, William
q. Conway, tditor of the american Man
,ydchTer, wrote poem entitled "The
Bribed Legislator 1t was lurid and
intense, but not too much so to cover the
case. While we do not believe that
bribery is nearly so common in our leg
islatiye halls as il is popularly supposed
to be, says the Punxsutawney SPIRIT, we
have often thought that every man who
aspires to place of public trust ought to
be required TO commit this poem TO men,
ory. When exposed to temptation he
could run it over in his MUD, and thus
see himself in the light that all honest
men ought to regard him, should he be
weak enough to yield:
The man who takes bribs would strip
the dead,
Or rob the orphan of his crust of bread,
So lost to justice, equity and rish ht
That man would steal the aged widow 5
mite;
Is well prepared for any kind of fraud;
Would sell his country or betray his God,
Pillage the palace of the King o, Kings
Or strip the gliding from an angels
wings.
The man who is uniaithul to trust,
However small Is vitality unjust;
And he who is unjust in little things,
Would be villain in the courts of kings.
Present a bribe and down his virtue
falls
In courts or camps or legislative halls.
The bribed apostate! blot his hateful
From each and every roll ofhoneSt fame.
Let scorn still point her finger aud her
gibes,
And say: behold the consequence of
bribes r'
Let guileleSs children as he passes by,
Shrink from his touch and shudder at
his eye.
Let lovely women loath him with dis
gust,
And shun him like the reptile in the
dust.
And while he lives let infamy alone
Claim the bribed legislator asher own
Until he dies and sinks into his grave
To poison worms who feed upon the
knave.
There, midst the storms, let hedious fu-
ries foul
Hold nightly revels and in concert howl !;
Let kissing serpents make that spot their
home,
And be the guardians Of his tomb.
And when he goes to hell, let devils stare
And ask him who the devil sent him
there;
And feel the insult, deep, severe and
keen,
TO see a friend, pre-eminently mean,
'Mongst other devils rudely ushered in
A foul, appalling prodigy Of sin
And in hells tiercest, hottest furnace
crammed,
Let him be damned -superlatively
damned!
And why not damned for such transcen-
dent crimes?
Yea, damned eternally, ten thousand
times

Letter to W. F. Blum.
ToRoStd, Pa.

Dear Sir: You buy your horseshoes
and nails; youI grandfather, if he was
a blacksmith, made 'em. You can't af-
ford to hammer them ont by hand, when
you can buy as good, or better perhaps,
readynade to your hand, for little more
than the cost of the iron.
What do you think of n painter who
goes on buying his linseed oil and wlite-
lead, and mixing, and tinting by hand,
and charging his time for work tLat is
far better-done than he can do it, done by
machidery, done as your horseshoos and
nails are made.
Mistake isn't it?
He is wasting his chance in tie world.
There is no better stuff to do business
with than good horseshoes and paint; and
no better work than putting them on.
Good horseshoes well put on: It's the
putting 'em on that makes you black
smith: no matter who makes 'em.
Who wants TO go back to the old times,
and make his own horseshoes?
Between us two that painter don't know
how to make good paint-he used to; but
paint has run away from him.
Yours truly,
II f. w. DEvoE & Co.
