RIGHT KIND OF GIRL,


The girl who gives expression tosheI
love with her eyes. Sand ii her actiors.
rather than with her tongue, is moreapt
to be sincere than the maiden who il
very demonstrating: Of her affection.
Silence. is the cnaste blossom oflove. !"
once wrote Heine, the famous lyric poet,
and his words can be commended to the
notice of men who are inclined to doubt
Q woman's love because she lacks that
effustveness 50 Characteristic of g the
sentimental girl. VI. .$... 2 -. 81 =,
There is a certain type Of lover who is
never content unless his sweetheart as
sures him, at intervals of q few minutes,
that he is the dearest fellow in existence;
that the world would be . dreary place
without him: that she could not possibly
live without him, and that she loveshim
better than anything and everybody in
the wide, wide world.
Such assurances, of course, may be
made with all sincerity, but the possibi1-
tiles are that they are not. Earnest. and
enduring, love is.usually silent and un-
demonstrative. A gentle pressure Of the
hand, and q kind, loving look, full of
consideration and meaning, are far more
eloquent than words, and, in the major
ity of cases, much more sincere. It is
seldom that man makes q mistake in
the choice Of a wife when he judges her
love and affection by her actions toward
him, which, in the words of the old
proverb: Speak louder than words"
+ Language in love is often used only to
deceive, and the more beautiful and pol
ished the language is, the more deceitful
the man or woman. Silence is far better
than unmeaning words, and more becom-
ing to woman. The, lover of: the I'M
demonstrative girl should remember that
it is against her nature to be otherwise;
and II he be observant. he will find more
happiness in these silent tokens than In
volumes of talk
Perhaps it is because the silent girl is
somewhat overshadowed at times by her
ELUSIVE sister, who is never at a loss for
gushing words and voluble expressions
Of affection, that men are inclined to
think she is cold and loveless. It only
needs a little close study of the undemon-
strative girl to show how unjust is such
a thought. She may appear somewhat
cold, and even at times cause doubts and
fears to arise in the mind of the one who
has won her consent to be his wife.
But such fears are groundless, for the
undemonstrative girl gives her love once
and for all time.-N. Y. Weekly.

WORK IS DIGNIFIED.
No Woman Who Fails to Take Delight
in Her Labor Can he Called
Truly Happy.

In the lap of luxury lives the
woman who delights in her work.
There is such deep lying source
of happiness in this pretty truth that
it is grievous to realize how few COM
prehend its force and power.
Beautiful nature and rare art bring
to their perfection thousand things
with which those who can seek to beautf-
fy their homes and adorn the persons of
those they love; but that into which
a woman has put her patient endeavor,
her watchful care, her provident
thought, and the affection which she
cannot withhold from what she pro-
tects has an integral value nothing can
rival.
1t is folly of follies to deplore for
ones self or ones children the lack of
what much money could buy, and for
get the intrinsic value and joys of what
it is possible to attain by ones own
work.
There is an elegance and dignity as
ISOLATED with the labor of the hands
which in the case of a gentlewoman is
an art, and as gracefully done as many
thing called an accomplishment.

Interesting Comparison.

The figures placed on the
bridge at the west end of town
by the U. S. Typographical Sur
vey corps show an elevation at
that point of 859 feet above sea
level. On the turnpike at the top
of the Ridge just west of the old
toll.gate, the altitude is marked
1878. BY comparison it will be
noticed that the top of the Ridge
at that point is 419 feet higher
than the bridge.
A person whose weight is $50
pounds, in walking from the
bridge to the top of the Ridge,
expends energy that lifts $50
pounds 479 feet, or 1850 pounds
! foot. In other ords you get
as much exercise in walking from
the bridge to the top of the Ridge
as to lift 81 tons of coal foot
whether you lift it all in one bulk
or an ounce at a time.
Another comparison is perhaps
not less interesting. When you
go to Philadelphia over the p r.
r., and step out of Broad Street
station on the east side, you find
yourself directly in front Of the
Quaker City's big public build
ing, the City Hall. This build
ing is $50 feet square, which
means that if it were picked up
and set down in McConnells burg
it would cover the ground includ.
ed in the square beginning at
Dickson's corner, thence up to
the Court House, across to Frank
Lynch's, and down to Jno. IT.
WINS and back to Dickson's S.
Now, here is where the Ridge
comes in: The City Hall is 53S
feet in height; consequently if
placed in McConnellsburg, it
would still be % feet higher than
the Ridge would be with the Court
House on the top of it where the
pike crosses.

School Fund Ahead.

About twelve years ago the
Dog-tax act was amended so that
at the end of each year if the
county treasurer had any dog tax
funds in his hands in excess of
5000 after settlement of the sheep
claims, the excess shall be paid
over to the school fund of the sew
eral districts in the county.
At the auditors settlement the
first of January, it was found
that the surplus for last year and
the year before was on hand, and
Superintendent Barton, last
Wednesday, drew the excess,
which amounted to S3O9.33, and
distributed it to the various dis
tricts on the basis of the amount
of dog-tax paid in by the several
school districts in the county, as
follows:

Faithful Dad.

We happened in a home the
other night and over the parlor
door saw the legend in letters of
red, "What is home without a
mother ?" Across the room was
another brief, "God bless our
home"
Now, what's the matter with
"God bless our dad -? He gets
up early, lights the fire, boils an
egg, grabs his dinner pail and
wipes off the dew of the dawn
with his boots while many a
mother is sleeping. He makes the
weekly hand-out for the butcher,
the grocer, the milkman and ba,
ller, and his little pile is badly
worn before he has been home an
hour. He stands off the bailiff
and keeps the rent paid up.
If there is a noise during the
night dad is kicked in the back
and made to go down stairs and
find the burglar and kill him.
Mother darns the socks, but dad
bought the socks in the first place
and the needles and the yarn aft
erward. Mother does up the
fruit well, dad bought it all, and
jars and sugar cost like the mis-
chief.
Dad buys chickens for the Sun
day dinner, carves them himself
and draws the neck from the ru-
ins after everyone else is served.
"What is home without a moth
err" Yes, that is all right; but
what is home without a father :

your faults-you may have lots
of them-but you're all right,

The Laidig school is closed for
an indefinite period.
About eight o'clock last Satur-
day evening the inhabitants of
the village of Laidig were greatly
shocked by the conduct of a num-
Der of young men, who were jour-
neying southwark from Broad
top. Being filed with bad whls-
key, they yelled like Comanche
Indians and swore like Turkish
pirates.
Just below Laidig one of their
number stuck fast in a snow
drift; but the rest got around
and made it so hot for him that
he was soon thawed out.
Fortunate enough it was for
them that an officer who was on
the ground five minutes after
they had gone had not caught
them, or else there would have
been some extra business for the
District Attorney at March term
of court.

The farmers of the Big Cove
have shown much interest in To-
cal Farmers Institutes during
the winter. The meetings have
been spirited, and have developed
considerable talent both among
the farmers and the young peo-
pie. 1t would seem a good thing
if the interest would spread
throughout the county. There is
need of organization among the
farmers as we'll as in other lines
of industry. Education, local i'm

the soil would result to the bene'
fit of all, as agriculture is at the
base of all our prosperity.

Young Peoples Meeting.

A union service was held in the
Reformed church in this place
last Sunday evening by the sew
eral Christian Endeavor societies
and the Epworth League. There
is, perhaps, no movement along
the line of Christian effort that
has been attended with more
gratifying results than that of
the various young peoples organ
izations. While the well.tilled
church contained the usual num-
Der of the older people, the meet
ing was conducted almost exclu-
sively by the young people; and,
during the hour and a half, not a
minute was wasted.
The Christian Endeavor move.
ment is not denominational, and
conforms to the usages of almost
any protestant church. 1t has
just completed twenty-five years
of it's existence, and has $4,000
societies and a membership of
over 100000.
Its object is to bring Christian
people into closer relationship
with Christ and the church, and
to aid in the quickening of effort
for the welfare of others and for
personal growth in grace.
The pledge which one takes in
becoming a member says Trust
ing in the Lord Jesus Christ for
strength, 1 promise him that 1
will strive to do whatever he
would have me to do; that / will
make it the rule of my life to pray
and to read the Bible every day,
and to support my own church
in every way especially by attend
ing all her regular Sunday and
mid-week services unless pre-
vented by some reason which l
can give to my Savior; and that
just as far as l know how, through
out my whole life, I will endeavor
to lead Christian life.

Improved Mail Facilities.

Action having been taken on the
petition recently sent in to the
postoffice department, our people
will soon have better mail facili.
ties from the east. The postof-
fee department has advertised
for proposals for carrying the
mails between this place and Lou
don, all bids to be filed not later
than the 18th instant. The con-
tract provides that the mails shall
leave this place in time to reach
Loudon for the Z: 80 A. NJ, and
the 3 :0S p. M. trains, and on re-
turning leave Loudon on the ar
rival of the s 80 a. M. train, and
not later than 9:30 A. NJ, and
on the arrival of the g 10 p. M.
train, and not later than Z p. M.
and reach this place in two hours
after leaving Loudon. This will
give US our first mail, including
the Philadelphia dailies, about II
A. NJ, and our evening mail about
.9P. M.
twill be noticed that only two
hours are allowed for covering the
distance from Loudon to this place
so this will do away with our mail
stage carrying freight as hereto
fore. The Government pays liber-
ally for all mail service, and We
hope that those putting in bids will
ask for enough to justify them in
giving US first class service, as
we'll as profit to themselves.
