K. of G, E, Conventions

The knights of the Golden Eagle will
hold their convention in Shamokin the
week beginning May 13. The order IS
SO, 900 strong in Pennsylvania and from
10000 to 12, 900 delegates are expected.
The following is part of the circular
letter sent to the orders in the state:
Shamokin. Pa, January /, 1902.
To each Castle, Temple and Command
cry, K. G. E.
Sir Knights and Most Respected Com
panions-The General Committee sends
the seasons greeting and begs to sub
nit this their first official circular, to
be read in open meeting in each lodge
within the jurisdiction of the Grand
Castle of Pennsylvania.
The Grand Castle will hold its annual
session in our city, commencing Tues
day, Nav 13, to which session the gen
eral committee of arrangements de-
sires TO invite each and every member
in the state. The committee is thor
nughly organized and working in har-
mony to make this session the most
notable in the history of our order.
With the return of prosperity in all
branches of industry throughout the
country, the Knights of the Golden
Eagle have been especially blessed with
a large share of benefits, the consequen-
ces of which will be that the next an
nual session will see larger attendance
of both representatives and spectators
than on any previous occasion.
A general public demonstration and
parade will be held Tuesday afternoon,
May 18th, in which every Castle, Tenn
pie and Commandery are invited TO
participate. Hundreds of dollars in
prizes, to be announced later, will be
distributed. Further information will
be given in subsequent circulars.
Trusting that this may not be simply
received and fled but rather acted up
on and pilgrimage clubs formed for the
purpose of attending, we are,
Respectfully yours in the bonds of

Old Age,

Old age as it comes in the orderly
process of Nature is beautiful and
majestic thing. The very shadow of
eclipse which threatens it, makes it the
more priced. 1t stands for experience,
knowledge wisdom and counsel. That
is old age as it should be. But old age
as it 80 often is means nothing but a
second childhood of mind and body.
What makes the difference2 Very large
ly the care of the stomach. In youth
and the full strength of manhood it
doesn't seem to matter how we treat the
stomach. We abuse it, Overwork it, in
lure it. We don't suffer from it much.
But when age comes the stomach is
worn ont. 1t can't prepare and distri-
butte the needed nourishment to the
body, unnourished, falls into senile de-
cay. DR.. Pierces Golden Medical Dis
coyery is wonderful medicine for old
people whose stomachs are weak and
whose digestions are poor. Its invigor-
ating effects are felt by mind as well as
body. 1t takes the sting from old age,
and makes old people strong.

CHRONIC BRONCHITIS.

Ing Mnlady.
While an attack Of acute bronchitis
in adult life Is usually Of brief duration
and of little gravity, its repeated occur
renee is to be dreaded as possibly lead
ing to the much more serious chronic
form, says Youths Companion. This
form occurs for the most part to per
sons beyond middle life.
1t may supervene upon an acute at
tack which has been neglected, or it
may come on more gradually after a
succession of such attacks, each one
adding a little to the bronchial irrita-
ton left behind by its predecessor, un-
til the actual disease Is fully establish
ed Subjects of the so called uric acid
diathesis are very prone to suffer from
chronic bronchitis, and so are patients
with heart and kidney disease and hard
drinkers.
Chronic bronchitis, like all other ca
tarrhal affections, is much less trouble
some in summer than In winter and in
those who live much in the open air
than in the housebOund. From this
simple observation may be drawn the
lesson that the best remedy for bron-
chtis is pure air. This IS generally con
ceded in the case of consumption, but
the world-even the medical worlds
slower to recognize that an abundance
of oxygen-pure airs equally essen
tial to the cure Of bronchitis and other
chronic diseases of the organs of respi-
ration.
The good result Is due not only to the
Improvement in the general health, but
also to the direct effect of the oxygen
upon the diseased bronchial membrane.

DRESSING THE CHILD.

Have Regard For Its Feelings ana
Comfort.
The recent death of Kate Greenaway
brings to nv mind the subject Of chill
dren's dress. No one but those who
lived in her day can appreciate the
benefit she conferred on tiny suffering
humanity With her clever sketches OF
small men and women in artistic and
suitable costumes she entirely reyolu-
tionized children's dress. Before that
time little boys and girls Of four and
five were rigged out in ridiculous ana
painfully uncomfortable limitations OK
their elders The little boys wore long
trousers and top heavy hats. The little
girls actually had their gowns made in
two pieces with tight bodices pinched
In at the waist and heavy gathered
skirts 1t was thanks to Kate Green
away that one piece frocks and
guimpes came into fashion and that all
the weight of child's loosely cut gar
ment was suspended from its shoul-
ders, as 1t was proper that it should be.
No one but a foolish and unprogres-
siye mother will dress her children IN
comfortably nowadays. The woman
who makes her little son ridiculous by
tricking him out in curls, buckled
shoes and a generally picturesque"
costume is way behind the times.
Neither does she succeed in her foolish
desire to make him look like an embryo
nobleman or a small multimillionaire.
The children Of the rich are the very
ones who are most simply dressed.
The doctrine of health, Of strong limbs
and Of a bright, happy disposition
rules all. You may see these young

At this season of the year, when the
shade trees are devoid of foliage, an ex-
cellent opportunity is afforded for the
destruction of the caterpillar cocoons.
In passing along the streets the number
of these cocoons is very noticeable, and
little effort now at their destruction
will mean much less annoyance from
these pests when they commence to
make their appearance in the spring.
This is the time to make war upon the
enemy of the shade tree and it applies
as well to those possessing fruit trees.

WHAT MEN ADMIRE.
Feminine Qualities Which Attract
MaMcuIfne Hearts the World Over.


What do men admire in women?
In the very first place, | think, a
cheerful disposition. A man is afraid
to marry a woman who always sees
the sad side of things. He wants a
comforter, a brave spirit who will
stand by him through thick and thin
and laugh at the worlds troubles. A
man who is a good reader Of character
hesitates to tie himself to a woman
who has no sense Of humor. Then,
man admires a. girl who is popular
with her own sex, who has the right
sort of women friends and who shines
in her own circle. He admires a girl
with brains, but he doesn't want them
always glittering before him so as to
dim his own. In other words, he
wants to be brilliant too. One Of the
greatest qualities he admires in a girl
is sympathy, that mysterious power
which brings out the best there is in
every person. A proud spirit also ap-
peals to him, but one which knows Oc-
casionally how to unbend.
The modern man admires bravery,
but never mannishness. He appreci-
