CHOICE MISCELLANY


"Step up lively! he commanded to
those outside, says Harry Beardsley In
Leslie's Weekly. "Move forward there.
please" he shouted in domineering
tone to the herd within. The westerner
braced himself stubbornly to stand
exactly where he was when he OBJ
served most surprising thing. To his
astonishment the people about him,
without even a protest, were endeavor-
ing to pack themselves closer together
with general movement toward the
front Of the car. The stranger recalled
at once h<w in his western home street
car conductors in gentle tones were
obliged to coax and plead with their
passengers to induce them to make
room for others. The western street
car crowd was moved by persuasion,
but these New Workers, 1t seemed, per-
mitted themselves to be driven.
And in this conduct of the people the
stranger saw that they had no time
for stubbornness, no time to spend in
resenting the domineering air of the
conductor, no moments to be lost in
protest or expostulation. A great COM
mon and controlling spirit was appar-
ent. 1t was shown in this very willing
ness to be driven.

Cure for Typhoid Fever.

Lemon juice, it is claimed, will cure
typhoid fever The Chicago Health
Department makes this announcement
with emphasis and SAYS that repeated
experiments have proved its truth.
Several days ago Dr. Asa Ferguson, a
London physician, said the same thing
and the Chicago Health Department at
once set about Investigating the matter.
One teaspoonful of lemon juice was

A Ships Feathered Guests.

The captain in charge of lightship
situated at the entrance of San Fran
cisco harbor recently reported to the
United States lighthouse commissioner
that Il large number Of land birds took
refuge on board the vessel. A dense
smoke from northern forest fires hung
over the locality and completely OBJ
scured sea and land. Evidently the
birds had lost their way, and, exhaust
ed by their long fight, the wanderers
alighted on the ship undeterred by the
presence of the crew. At one time sixty
of the feathered guests were counted
on various parts of the ship. Owls,
cranes, humming birds and other non
marine species were noticed during the
time.

of bis new treatment
1t Is the result of twenty-five years of

SOLD FOR TAXES.
Sales Made on Monday by the County of
Many Tracts of Land.

Many Tracts OF Land.
The commissioners sale OF seated and
unseated lands at the county seat on
Monday attracted several hundred
spectators. In the 1,2OO pieces adver-
tsed for sale there was bargain" for
every person who wished to take the
chances Of being able to prove title to
his purchase The prevailing price was
81 per tract, although occasionally a
higher figure was commanded. The un-
seated lands were sold first and in this
batch was almost half of Buck town
ship, in which section Of the county
land appears to be cheaper than cobble-
stones. Some of the bids were ridicul-
ously low, considering the number of
acres purchased.
Some OF the purchasers and their pur-
chases were as follows:
Albert Lewis, $50 acres in Bear Creek
township, price ST..
George J. Llewellyn, 200 acres in
Buck township, 81.
w lllIdlu H. lllucS, OUi dCTcS III DUN
township, $3.50.
d. L. O'Nell, $50 acres in Buck town
ship, So.
Frank T. Mccormick, $50 acres iu
Black Creek township, Ss so.
G. L. Halsey, 400 acres in Denson
township, 81.
D. L. O'Nell, 300 acres in Foster
township, 81.
In the list OF seated lands were about
1000 lots scattered throughout the
county, many of them being improved
with houses and outbuildings. Except
in few cases all these brought on an
average of 81 apiece.
The Wilkesbarre Record says that
not one in twenty-five of the properties
sold is OF any value. In some cases
there has been double assessment and
in other cases the land is either value
less or it is impossible to secure clear
title. Many of the tracts are sold
regularly at every missioners' sale,
each time some person unfamiliar with
the location and history OF the land
picking up bargain"
AT the close of business last evening
it was estimated that about $500 had
been received by the county, which will
not cover one-ffth of the expense con-
nected with the sale of lands. 1t cost
the county 81, 400 to advertise the sale
in the Freeland Progress, Shickshinny
Echo and Luzerne County Express.
Many of the tracts are bought in by
the same parties at every sale, it being
cheaper to continue to hold them in
this manner than to pay the taxes. 1t
would cost the owners considerable
money to keep the taxes paid on them
while buying them In at commissioners
sale they can get them for 81 and get
out of the payment of large amount Of
taxes

Speed Is Costly.

They tell great things about the
speed of the ocean greyhounds, but
omit to say that speed costs, as does
every other luxury. They expect to
drive the Kaiser Wilhelm II. twenty
four knots an hour, but it will take an
expenditure of 10000 horsepower to do
it, whereas $4,000 horsepower will
drive the Cedric, the largest ship in the
world, seventeen knots.
Every additional pound Of steam
means more coal, more "hands" and
more expense in every direction until
the increase of speed is soon forbidden
by the Increased cost.
An attempt to drive a ship or a man
too fast soon costs more than either
Is worth. Why not take it easy?

DELHI'S GREAT DURBAR
India's Plans For Celebrating
the British Coronation.
THREE CHIEF CAMPS FOB VISITORS

The First Reserved For Those From
ty Miles of Railroads, n Central
Market and an Arena For 5000
People Are Among the Sights.
A very interesting account of the
preparations made in and about Delhi
for the durbar has been sent to the Lon
don Express by its special correspond
ent in India. Signs of activity, says
the correspondent, are plain long be-
fore the coronation camp Is reached.
In the city itself buildings are being
run up and altered at top speed, and
the placard, "To Let For the Durbar,"
meets the eye at every turn.
There are three principal camps for
visitors-No. 1, reserved for those from
England and America; No. 2 includes a
number of nonofficial people from all
parts Of India, and No. 3 is allotted to
people who bring their own tents and
manage their own feeding.
The principal hotels in Delhi have
been secured by syndicate. Large
plots Of land have been taken up by
speculators to be let in smaller plots by
those who are in want of accommoda-
ton.
The main official camp has as a cen
ter the elaborate accommodation for the
viceroy and his personal guests. 1t is
estimated that in this camp alone there
will be altogether some 1000 souls, so
that its size may be imagined.
Farther away, at distances varying
from two to ten miles, are the camps
of the numerous native chiefs and their
retinues. Every leading prince in l.
dia will be present-the nizam Of by
derabad, the gaekwar of Baroda, the
maharajas Of Jaipur, Mysore, Udaipur
and Travancore, ETC., and other chiefs
with fearsome titles, the recital Of
which at length would bewilder the
mind.
A special light railway has been con-
structed for passenger traffic in camp.
Electric lighting will be general, and a
central market for provisions, etc, has
been built. A large dairy farm will be
IN operation. MOSt OIL the tentS Will
have flreplaces to mitigate the piercing
cold of Delhi December nights Some
sixty miles Of roads have been laid out
to give access to the camps.
The site of the arena-the scene Of
the stately pageant to which all the
other arrangements are subsidiary-lies
some three miles to the north of the
camps, and necessarily so, since it Is
| no rash surmise that quarter of a
million people will be in and about 1t
on Jan. 1.
A vast open plain, from which the
ripened crops have just been reaped,
will then be covered by 10000 regular
troops, the motley retainers Of princes
and chiefs, the vast outpourings of Del
hi city, while within the horseshoe
seating room will be found for some
5000 people.
| Far away to the south Of the arena
are the polo grounds, for which 2,000,-
| 600 cubic feet Of earth have been re-
| moved.
Within the fort a gigantic ballroom
has been constructed for the state bali
of 5000 guests. Here, in the Dewan-i-
| Am, there will also be an investiture
for Indian orders, at which, it is antici-
pated, numerous honors will be con
ferred.
