BROTHERS MEET
Again After a Separation of Thirty
Four Years.
MI. Olive, Nov. 10.

Correspondent of the ARGUs.)
This life is made up, pretty much
of farewells and greeting, parting and
meeting, some sad, some glad, others
while pathetic, are oftimes border
ing on the humorous.
A meeting of the latter named va
riety took place here one night last
week, when two brothers clasped
hands who had not seen each other
for "a years, being separated by the
span of many miles.
When mere lads, together they
journeyed, these two, to the Lone
Star State their fortunes to seek, but
after awhile one grew sick for the
sight of his homeland, and returned
alone, and in a few years married
and has since made Mt. Olive his
home, and has reared here an inter
esting family in whose lives the let
ters from this far-aWay unseen uncle
were always great events, for the
brothers regularly correspondent.
But several years ago these letters
suddenly ceased, and the brother
was said to be dead.
Now in small country towns peo-
pie retire early and sleep soundly, so
when the man heard a light knock
upon his door on Saturday night, he
calmly tried to snore on in a firm
unbelief that any one would presume
to call at this late hour; surely twas
only the wind. Again the knock,
the clock strikes-ten! This time
the door rattles with more force than
expression, and clad in garments
white, and holding aloft the lamp he
has lit, he marches to the front, and
asks, who is there?
"Wel1, open the door and see,''
comes the answer from without.
Now the figure in white is oul
Chief OF Police, and a brave, brave
man, so he promptly throws open
the door-and, with a gust of winter
wind that is by no means soporifc
there enters a man, a stranger, who
looks into his face and smiles.
"What can I do for you sir?'
frowns the figure in white.
"Why, Think I want a bed, O
course" laughs the man.
cam sorry, sir-but-"
"Why, old boy, don't you know
me? Pm your brother whom yol
have not cen in all these years."
What! this brother was a mere slil
of a boy-surely this could never b.

bending lower, aud gazing with in

mind of the man in white floats bacl
for a brief while to scenes Of his boy
hood and he remembers, yes, he re

"Shuck off your shoe traveller, m,

Off comes the boot!

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

From a twenty-year-o mulberry
tree 21S pounds of leaves have been
picked in year.
String beans may be obtained during
the entire summer by planting once a
month for successive supplies.
Some trees are much more unfavor-
able to the growth of plants beneath
them than are others. The worst are
the yew and the ash.
Whenever water is given to pot
plants enough should be used thor
oughly to wet the soil around the roots.
Mere sprinkling of the surface does lit
tie good.
The next time you have bouquet Of
flowers to keep add very little cam
phor to the water in the vase and see
how much longer its freshness will be
retained.
One of the most satisfactory plants
for house culture is the yellow oXalis.
1t will blossom freely If given sun and
water, and its bronze brown foliage
sets off its pretty yellow bloom rarely.

KuID'S Bill Held UD.

Reese Lloyd, clerk OF courts, has held
up bill presented by George b. Kulp,
publisher Of the Legal Register, for
publishing list OF the liquor license
applications. kulp demanded the same
amount as was allowed to newspapers
for the service and refused to accept $40
which Lloyd had promised to pay when
the order for the advertisement was
given. Kulp will now have to sue for
the amount he demands, and the case
will be watched with interest by the
newspapers of the county.
The Legal Register is pamphlet in
which every legal notice which passes
through the county courts must appear.
The rates charged are exhorbtant,
compared with those of newspapers,
and the publication of the notices in the
sheet, which has only nominal circu-
lation among lawyers, entails a heavy
and uncalled for expense which often
falls upon poor people. All the revenue
derived from this advertising goes solely
to kulp, and for this reason the pamph-
let is known as Kulp's Grab Bag. 1t is
time the courts stepped in and abolished
the authority by which the publisher
can fleece thousands OF people every
year.

Once a Sewing Machine Agent.

The rapid rise of James A. Hemen-
way of Indiana, who is to succeed "Un-
Gle Joe" Cannon as chairman Of the ap-
preparations committee, ought to be a
great encouragement to the much
abused sewing machine agents of the
country, says the Chicago News. 1t has
not been very many years since Mr..
Hemenway was peddling sewing ma
chimes In southern Indiana. He is famil-
lar with all the country roads in that
section of the Hooser State, for he has
driven them day and night in search of
housewives who were not supplied
with sewing machines. He did not pre-
tend to know anything about national
affairs when he went to Washington,
but he knew how to stick to task I'M
til he secured results, and it is that trait
which has caused his rapid advance
ment on the committee.

NEWSPAPERS.

The Tamaqua Recorder has changed
from a tri-weekly to daily publication,
and is therefore twice as welcome as
heretofore The Recorder has been a
success from the start, due to the cap
able management OF its publisher, r. Ii.
Hirsh.
The Hazleton Plain Speaker has com
psted its twenty-second year, and is
more successful today than at any
period in its history. The Speaker is
one OF the most valuable newspaper
properties in the coal field.
Some changes in Freeland papers are
likely to take place in the near future.
Pittsburg parties are endeavoring to
purchase the Slavonic Truth and the
Press is making arrangements to appear
semi-weekly.

Secretary Shaw is the only member
rect to congress. The president pre-
sents those of the other cabinet minis
ters with his annual message. Hereto
fore secretaries of the treasury have
made no special attempt to send their
reports to the capitol in STYLE but Mr..
port was inclosed in Il suitably in
scribed cover of pebbed morocco, and
the inscription was in gold. The official
copies of President Roosevelts message
were not so pretentious. The president
was content to inclose the pages con-
tanning his message between two
sheets of stiff paper.

No Longer u Bugbear.

Glover sickness is a thing of the past
for the intelligent farmer of the pres
ent day. When it fails to grow upon
any of his fields, he furnishes the con-
ditions under which its full develop
ment is possible. An examination of
the clover roots will decide. If tuber-
cles are found, the plants will take care
of themselves, provided Of course other
conditions are suitable. II, on the con-
trary. they are absent, the field must
either be supplied with light dressing
of soil from field in watch they are
known to exist abundantly, or the
young plants will perish.-American

Corns stalks as Feed.

Cornstalks that are free from smut
and which were cut up as soon as corn
was glazed and well shocked and
which have not bleached out badly in
rain and sun make good, safe rough
feed for horses or cattle if cut up fine
ly. OF course they must have proper
nitrogenous grain feed with them.
Stalks that were cut up late and which
are badly weather beaten have little
nutrition in them. They are apt to
cause indigestion, as horse must eat
too much to get little. This is partic-
ularly true of stalks in the west that
have stood in the field uncut and which
are pastured off. Even steers suffer
sometimes from eating these. Good
bright cornstalis are all right when
fed with proper grain.-Practical Farm

Among the curious things recently
discovered by the students of plant life
is the fact that bud taken from one
tree and grated on another carries the
age of the original tree with 1t. 1t has
always been believed that the bud SO
transferred began a wholly new life,
but this new theory-it may, after all,
be more theory than fact as yet
shows the matter in an entirely differ
ent light.
For example, if bud be taken from
a tree that is twenty-five years old
with natural life of fifty years and
grated on another tree it will not live
as long as its parent tree is entitled to
live, the full fifty years, but only for
the period of life then left to the tree,
twenty-five years.

European army--a very small one,
but still an organized army-is about to
be abolished entirely. Prince Albert of
Monaco, who is an ardent believer in
the pressing needs in the iear future
for arbitration as a means of settling
all international disputes and who
thinks that universal peace is a possi-
bility, has determined to back his opin-
ion by doing away with his entire arm
ed force; hence the Monegasque army,
which consists of some thirty-two men,
will very shortly be thing of the past.

The disappearance of aboriginal peo-
pies before our advancing civilization
as seen in the islands of the Pacific, is
being repeated in various settlements
of the far north. In twenty years the
inhabitants of Labrador have decreased
from 10000 to $1,000. The natives of
southwestern Greenland now number
but 10000, and they require assistance
from the Danish government. The ex-
termination of the seal, walrus and po-
lar bear by whalers has reduced the
Alaskan Eskimo from perhaps 5000 to
about 500. The Eskimos at Smiths
sound, who a dozen years ago mum
bered 300, are reported by Peary as be-
ing reduced to about 200.

Improving steamship Screws.

A phenomenon known as "cavitation"
has lately come to be recognized as one
of the most important causes of loss of
efficiency in the driving screws of
steamships. When the velocity of the
screw is increased above certain limit,
cavity is formed in the water inside
which the screw revolves and further
increase of power then causes no in
crease of the ships speed. Mathemat-
ical investigation, tested by practical
experiments, has shown that cavitation
can be avoided by preserving a certain
ratio between the resistance and the
propelling surface concerned. Upon
this principle the speed of some vessels
has been greatly increased by simply
changing their driving screws.

No one articulates more distinctly in
the senate than Mr.. Burton of Kansas.
He has a high sounding voice that
would fit even in the big hall of the
house of representatives. Mr. Burton
also stands very straight and utters his
words with almost mechanical pre-
cision.
Much of that comes from early train
ing, for as young man Mr.. Burton
was a teacher and an eocutionist.
Among his pupils when he flourshed in
Illinois was former Governor Tanner Of
that state. He was an apt pupil and
waxed in eloquence under Mr.. Burton's
tutelage.

Peppermint For sleeplessness.

A physician declares that he finds
peppermint water an efficient remedy
for sleeplessness. This is very sim
pie cure, and it will not bring forth
ion any declaration of unsafeness. 1t
is added that a mixture of spirits of
chloroform and peppermint water CIV
Ell in hot water to the victim Of insom-
mia will produce sleep, but perhaps in
the case of the admixture Of chloro-
form water may claim decided share
in relieving the trouble. 1t is at least
easy to try peppermint water, and the
theory of its action is believed to be
founded on its effect in withdrawing
blood from the brain by attracting a
fuller flow to the stomach.

This is perfectly splendid liver
medicine: Take deep breath and then
expel the air from the lungs in little
puffs, like donkey engine. Push out
all the air you possibly can, drawing
the abdomen in and up as far as it will
go. The doing of this exercise will
probably strike you as being SO per-
fectly funny or silly that you will wind
up with some of the real thing, which
is, of course, better than the imitation.

To Stop the Gnawing Rabbit.

Colonel j. w. Rosamon, president of
the Tennessee State Farmers institute,
says that he has used for thirty years
the formula given below, and If ap-
piled in December and March he will
guarantee that the trees will not be
touched by rabbits:
Thoroughly mix and apply to fruit
and other trees two gallons of hot wa
ter, half gallon of soft soap and a
gill of crude carbolic acid, and to this
add n sufficient quantity of fresh lime
to make thick whitewash and apply
to the tree with brush or rag mop,
giving the tree coat from the ground
up about three feet.
