What does IL profit woman if she
gain the whole world of knowledge and
lose her own health? Young women
students, and school teachers, eager,
ambitious, and full of energy, very
often neglect their health in the
struggle to gain education. They eat
insufficient food, and at irregular hours,
they allow irregularity of the womanly
functions to be established, and the
result is that they become chronic
invalids with all their education prac-
tically worthless. There is plain road
back to health for such as these,
marked by the feet of thousands. 1t is
the use of DIR. PIerce's Golden Medical
Discovery for diseases of the stomach
and digestive and nutritive organs, and
DIR. Pierce's, Favorite Prescription for
diseases of the delicate organs of woman
hood. A cure so oertaiEly follows the
use of these remedies that out OF hun.
dreds Of thousands who have tried the
treatment. IS in every 100 have been
perfectly and permanently cured. Con-
situation, with its calapitous oonse-
quonoes. which is common ailment of
students, can be entirely cured by the
use Of lSs Riaros's Pleasant Pellets.

Penmar's Big Tabernacle.

Contractor Albert T. Hess has begun the
erection of the large union tabernacle at Pen
mar. TIE building Is to be erected on the
site of the old rostrum and will be Of immense
proportions
The dimensions are 100Xl2S feet and the
building will have seating capacity of three
thousand. Ornamental pillars will support
the roof and the seats will be substantial
board benches The building will not be
enclosed, but canvas curtains will be arrang.
ed for storm protection.
The erection of this building is the result
of the dissatisfaction by the different Prot.
cstant denominations, which hold annual
reunions at Pcnmar because Of the INSULT
cient seating room for those who attend the
gatherings At meetings of the Reformed,
Lutheran and Presbyterian reunion commit
tees held in Shippcnsburg during the past
winter committees were appointed to confer
with the Western Maryland Railroad Com
pany, and the tabernacle is the outcome, In
all probability the reunions of the approach
! ing summer will be the most successful ever
held. Vice President Roosevelt may be
present and address the Reformed gathering.
The churches whose reunions are perma.
nent features, are the Reformed, Lutheran
and Presbyterian and it is confidently expect
ed, by those in position to know, that the
autumnals, inauguratcd few years ago by
the Methodists of southern Pennsylvania,
Maryland and the Virglnias, will! be revived
and made permanent, The tabernacle will
also, without doubt, be an induccmcnt for
secret societies and other organ izatiOns to
assemble on the mountain.
The building will be completed before the
opening of the park season and probably tho
first use to be made of it will be for patri
otto meeting on July 4th.
The Lutheran reunion will be held on july
18Th, the Presbyterian on July 93d, and the
Reformed on July 25th. The Methodist
au,umnal is usually held carly in September

The name scientists have applied to this
insect is clcada scptcmdeclm, and the manner
of their evolution from larvae to the perfect
state is most interesting. Each female de-
posts about 500 eggs in the twlgs of the
trees on which they happen to be, dying
immediately afterwards, The larvae drop
to the ground when hatched and bore their
way down, sometimes To II considerable depth
and remain there Tor Il years, sucking the
the roots of plants for their subsistence.
How they know when their time Of con-
tincmcnt is up has not been satisfactorily tx,
planned but when they come out the ground
is honcvcombcd with myrinds of small holes
They are still in the laryac state then and
crawl to the nearest tree and n short way up
its trunk Soon the shell breaks and they
come out--a beautiful insect with large
wings. The females then begin preylns on
an,thing green, such as tree leaves and plants
and often inhict great damage.
The noise made by these insects on warm
summer day is almost dcaicning, The fc-
males, however arc not supplied with the
means to make these sounds, which are con
fined to the male
The term "locu,t" rs applied TO the inscc,
is wrong, though it has almost been Justified
by usage
Seventeen years ago the locus,s were not
did very little damage In 1868, however,
there were myrlads of them here and they
