LETTER CARRIERS
OFTEN DELAYED

Few people 2ra'iar = what cE.ent
the letter carriers, on their rounds, are
delayed by having to ring the door
b1ll ana wait while someone washes
the dough off her hands, brushes her
hair, pulls down her sleeves and comes
TO open the door and receive the mail.
The cause for delay may not always
be the same, but the result is identi-
cal-the letter carriers time is wasted
and the postal service is hampered.
Each carrier stops ut several hundred
homes, and a moments delay at each
of sixty doors lneans an hour lost. In
some cases 20 per cent. Of the carriers S
time is thus fritted away. 1t would
be possible, if every house in Dan
Vile had letter slot, to give better
service III the way of deliveries and
collections, which would be of benefit
to all. A good letter slot can be pur-
chased for % cents, is easily attached
to the door, and every house in the
city should have one.

Rightly used, kindly treated, given
the same good care as horse, the mule
has always shown himself kind, good
tempered, willing, docile and intelligent
Moreover, while he has none of the
horses graceful, sympathetic ways of
showing affection and responding to
appreciation, the mule is capable of
genuine devotion to n kind master.
Both the horse and the ass have af-
fectionate dispositions, and the only
reason the mule does not eyince such
is because nothing calls it out. Jack
is not demonstratiye, but he does re-
spond visibly to kind treatment.
He makes, moreover, nm easy paced,
careful, kindly riding animal when well
treated. Taken altogether, he is a use
full, intelligent, much enduring, little
appreciated brute, whose melancholy
position is that of dog with 4 bad
name-his good qualities rarely men
toned, while his bad ones are credited
at their full value.

A Smallpox Remedy.

The following remedy for smallpox
has been given by a California min
ister:
g herewith append recipe which
has been used to my knowledge in
hundreds of cases. 1t will prevent or
cure smallpox even though the pitt
ings are filling
''When Jennor discovered cow-pox
in England the world of science hurl-
ed an avalanche of fame upon his
head; but when the most scientific
school of medicine in the world, that
of Paris, published this recipe as a
panaCea for smallpox, it passed un-
needed. 1t is as unfailing as fate and
conquers in every instance. II Is
harmless when taken by well person
1t will also euro scarlet fever Here
it is as | have used it to cure my chill
dren of scarlet fever; here it is as |
have used it to cure the smallpox
When learned physicians said that the
patient must die, it cured:
"Sulphate of zinc, one grain; fox
glove, (digitalis) one grain half Il tea
spoonful of sugar mix with two table
spoonfuls Of water. When thoroughly
mixed add two ounces of water Take
a spoonful every hour. For children
smaller dose according to age. Either
disease will disappear in twelve hours.
If counties would compel their physi-
clans to use this there would be no
need of pest houses
If You value good advice and ex-
perience, use this for the terrible dis
ease -

A Timely Suggestion.

This is the season of the year when
the prudent and careful housewife
replenishes her supply of Chamber
laiu's Cough Remedy. 1t is certain
to be needed before the winter is over
and results are much more prompt and
satisfactory when it is kept at haDd
and given as soon as the cold is con-
tracted and before it has become settl-
ed in the system. In almost every in
stance a severe cold may be warded
off by taking this remedy freely as
soon as the first indication of the
cold appears. There is no danger i'll
giving it to children for it contains
no harmful substance. 1t is pleasant
to take-both adults and children like
it. Buy it and you will get the best.
1t always cures. For sale by Paules

SCRANTON, Dec. 10--The commits
sion having to do with the anthracite
coal strike heard testimony this morn
ing relative to the attendance Of the
children of miners i'll the public schools
of this city and county.
George W. Phillips, superintendent
of schools III Scranton, the next wit
ness. presented figures showing that
in schools in mining neighborhoods
more children attended night school
than they did during the day. In one
or two schools III the mining neighbor-
hood not a miners child attended day
sessions, he said Mr.. Phillips said
that almost without exception, miners
children left school before reaching
their 18th year. Night schools were
attended almost exclusively by min
ers' children, Phillips said.
The following questions were answ-
cred by Mr. Phillips:
O. Speaking generally, the miners
children do not enter the higher grades
of the Grammar and High Schools of
this city? A. The better way to an
swer that would be to take the enroll
ment of the High School and from
that take the number OF minors chill
dren. There are /, ,OO4 children enroll
ed in the High School, and about 10
per cent. of these are miners children
distributed through the different
classes.
O. These are all miners children,
this 10 per cent: A. Yes sir: all
miners children In the senior class
there are, out of l13, nine children of
miners In the junior or third year, out
of 135, five children are of this class. In
the sophomore or second year, out
of 135, twenty-siX are children of
miners, and in the freshman year we
have 51S in that class; part of these,
however, were left over from last year :;
sixty-one are children whose parents
are employed in and about the mines.
That makes total of 10l ont of
/ ,00l down to Grammar
@. How is the attendance of min
ers' children in the other grades: A.
In the first three years of our schools,
90 per cent. of the children of the city
are in these three years; 26 per cent.
are in the next three years; and l2
per cent. are in the three higher
grades, or the three grades below the
High School.
Q. Tell me, professor, about the
compulsory law: \. 1t says no child
under Is years shall be employed in
any factory, mine or industry. Then
again it says every child between 13
and lG must attend school all the
time, but if they can read and write
English they can be employed.
O. How can you enforce the com
pulsory law? a. We have two of1ic-
ers.
@. At what age do you try to make
children go to school? \. We try to
make them 60 up to y years.
Q. Now, the compulsory educa-
tional law, as | think it is called, you
do not exactly enforce that? y. We
try to.
Two school superintendent, one
from Olyphant and the other at the
head of the school system in Luzerne
county, were called and testified that
miners children were taken from
school about the twelfth year and put
in the breakers as a rule.

Admiral Dewey, commander of the

sembled for the mancuyers in the Car
ibbcan, said just before leaving Wash
ington:
The maneuvcrs viii undoubtedly be
of great value to the navy, and the pub
lie ought to look on them with rs much
interest as do the officers and the men.
AS to their scope and purposes, first
and most important are the assembling
and mobilization of the fleet. To bring
together these important commands
and form fleet of this magnitude ut
given place and a given time will be

ConStahle'S Biz Fees.

Does it pay to be "A constable in
Shamokin? Does it pay for the tax
payers to elect some of their constables
in Shamokin: The former question we
will answer yes. The latter no.
1t is about time the taxpayers of
Shamokin and Northumberland county
learn how their money i uselessly
spent in paying useless constable fees.
Michael O'Leary, constable of the
Fifth Ward of Shamokln, has drawn
from the county treasury in fees for
ruary, May, September and December
the enormous sum of So. 653. 20 for Feb
ruary court S411.37, May 'and Septem-
Der 81, 205. 60 and December SS3l S4i
Dismissed cases $500 90 His fees
amounted to almost as much rs the
judges salary. A very nice yearly
salary for a ward constable.
This is most amazing state Of
affairs. The method of running up
this amount Of fees is by the consta-
bles chasing every petty quarrel that
happens and kissing them on to sue.
1t IS not right and the quicker the
taxpayers enter protest against such
amounts being paid to the Constablcs,
the sooner Will tho county have more
money TO spend on improvements and
get out of debt
If each constable in the county was
to receive a like amount it would cost
the county about $306, 8G8. 50 wear
for her constables alone. .-Shamokin
