What a Woman Can Do.

She can come to a conclusion without
the slightest trouble of reasoning on it,
and no sane man can do that
Six of them can talk at once and get
along first-rate, aud no two men can do
that.
She can safely stick fifty pins into her
dress while he is getting one under his
thumb nail.
She is as cool as a cucumber in half a
dozen tight dresses and skirts, while a
man will sweat and tuma and growl in
one loose shirt.
She can talk as sweet as peaches and
cream to the woman she hates, while
two men would be punching each
others head before they had exchanged
ten words.
She can throw stone with n curve
that would be fortune to a baseball
pitcher.
She can say ''no'' in such low voice
that it means yes
She can dance all night in a pair oi
shoes two sizes too small for her and
enjoy every minute OF the time.
She can appreciate kiss from her
husband seventy-five years after the
marriage ceremony is performed.
She can go to church and atterward
tell you what every woman in the con
gregation had on, and in some rare in.
stances can give you some faint idea oi
what the text was.
She can walk half the night with q
colicky baby in her arms without once
expressing the desire of numbering the
| infant.
She can-but what's the use? A wo
man can do anything or everything
and do it we'll.
She can drive a man crazy for twenty
four hours, and then bring him tc
paradise in two seconds by simply
tickling him under the chin, and there
does not live that mortal son of Adam.

Letter to A. Mcdonald.
Emporium, Pa.

Dear Sir:-A good many people will
see your house i'll the course of the
next ten years. We want it to show
what Devoe lead and zinc will do. We
should like you to paint it, and then
not paint it again for ten years-unless
it needs repainting.
We'd like such a sample as that in
every town in the country-with a
notice about it in the town paper:
''Mr McDonalds house was painted ten
years ago Devoe lead and zinc, and has
never been repainted. The color is
not so bright as it was, but the paint is
as perfect a coat as ever, to keep out
water"
A good lead and oil job is expected
to last three years, it is a good one
that lasts three years; it generally does
not. Devoe lead and zinc lasts twice
as long, if not
'If you have any fault to find with
this paint, either now in putting it on,
or hereafter in the wear, tell your deal
er about it,
1--WE authorize him to do what is
right at our expense"
We want your house as sample,
and you as a witness.
Yours truly,

Editor Press
We have noticed, with regret, that
your regular correspondent from this
place of late has fallen into the habit of
becoming too personal in his slurs. OF
course, there always has been and is still
a class of people that attend to their own
business occasionally but pay particular
attention to their neighbors. No doubt
the public appreciates this kindness, but
there is an old adage which reads
CHARITY should always begin at home" "
and many are of the opinion that attend
ing to business in that manner would be
pleasanter and more profitable to all con-
cerned.
Why is it that our honorable cores
pondent persists in hurling his venom at
those persons who hold opinions difere.
from his own in regard to certain public
matters ? At people who have desire
TO do what is best for the public good in
stead of boarding up few dollars to be
perhaps squandered later on.
We are looking for another soft snap.
eh? Well, rather! We had intended
selling some ancient garden seeds around
here, but our correspondent has informed
us that Hon. j. c. Sibley sent few
packets to several of our farmers, so |
suppose we will have to abandon this
plan.
There are few postofices in Penn'a
and by chucking Uncle Sam under the
chin he might take pity on us and give
Us an Office out of chariy, but as the
water at the Springs " is very strong
we might get tipsy and lose it, so [ think
we had better not apply. So we are still
looking for another snap.

portunity. Suspicion naturally falls upon
the innocent carrier, and he is placed un-
der secret surveillance. Decoy letters are
mailed. and by other means it is endeav-
ored to fix the guilt upon him. If our
usual methods fail, We, too, become sus-
picious that an innocent man is being
worked We drop him, and try to locate
the actual thief. and it is not long before
We have him in Jail. Sometimes two dis
honest employees will work together, but as
a rule postal thieves are like the lone high
wayman, and prefer to go ii alone.
You see, the dishonest employe foolishly
believes that he can beat the game, and an
arrest in a large Office has only Temporal

thieves tferein- They are more cautious,
and may perhaps lie low for brief time,
but not for long. 1t is a singular but true
Official fact that once a man begins to steal
money letters he seldom voluntarily stops.
and We have had men confess that they
had been at this nefarious business for
years. and would have remained at 1t as
long they were in the service but for
their arrest 1t is an easy way to make
money for the time being to the clerk or
carrier whose salary does not meet his eX-

confidence in his cleverness to secrete the
money letters. forgetful that with each re-
port of theft the efforts of the inspectors
are redoubled to entrap him, and the closer
are drawn the meshes of the net slowly but
surely being entwined around him. Very
often the guilty man is positively known to
the inspectors for months before they can
catch him red handed, the thief in the
meantime believing himself undetected."

POISONED FOODS.
Milk for Infants of Poor People Pre-
served With Formaldehyde.

From the Brooklyn Eagle
The arrest and punishment by fines of
eighteen people who had been found selling
unwholesome foods and drinks in Manhat-
tan promises for a partial abolition of the
custom. People In the more fortunate
walks OF life do not realize the extent to
which the poor suffer from their poverty.
Not least among their sufferings is the
necessity to buy their supplies from the
almost equally poor men who set I'D little
groceries in their districts. Here every
thing is OF the cheapest and worst. Really
good butter, fresh milk, reliable vegetables
and canned goods that have not been on
the shelf for possibly two years are not
easy to find in these shops. Even the
matches are the worst, and the soap LIS of
the kind that gives the most bite and least
lather. Not infreauently the green grocer
les are brown. and are past the time when
they are palatable, while the canned goods
are sometimes damaged, and their contents
become dangerous by reason of the action
on the tin and solder of their fermented
contents.
Among the worst of the things sold in
these shops is the milk, on which thousands
Of ilI-nourished infants of the tenements
must depend. This milk is not bought orig
fnally from dealers who are any too re-
liable. There is a suspicion that 1t has been
watered by the farmer, a little, before 1t
goes to the wholesale man. and that the
wholesale dealer adds a little more water
