Boroughs Can Legally Shut Out the
Peddler.
Unlesr He Pays Tax For the Privilege Of
Disposing Of his Wares IS Sunbury Mer-
chants Fought the Issue to Finish.

The constitutionaity of the borough
ordinances throughout the State, pro-
hlblting hawking or peddling on the
streets or from door to door by sam
pie or otherwise, was sustained by
Judge Auten, of Northumberland
county, in an opinion handed down on
Thursday last.
N. l.. Rearick, the agent Of the
Citizens Wholesale Supply Company
OF Columbus Ohio, was arrested in
Sunbury at the instance of the Busi.
ness Mems Association for selling
goods by sample from door to door
without license. He was given
hearing before Justice Carpenter, who
in accordance with the borough or
dinance, imposed fine Oh $a5 and
the costs.
The defendants counsel appealed
the case to the United States District
Court, asking to be discharged under
wit of habeas corpus, claiming that
the ordinance was violation to the
inter State commerce clause of the
constitution of the United States.
The application for a discharge was
denied by the District Court, and the
case was referred back to the court of
the county.
1t was argued before Judge Auten,
II. S. Knight, OF Sunbury, represent
the business men. Thursday, Judge
Auten handed down his opinion
affirming the action of Justice Carpen-
ter in imposing the fine Of $a5, which
is practically declaring the ordinance
to be all right.

IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES.
The Irish Agricultural orsa ization
Society.

The Irish Agricultural Organization
Society.
Although the grange is not an organ
ization that has found footing on for
pign soil, nevertheless its principles are
not unlike those of the Irish Agricul-
tural Organization society Of Ireland,
rs described by the Hon. Horace Plum
kett In recent number Of the Review
Of Reviews. While Mr.. Plunkett's
ideas Of the grange movement in this
country are not altogether correct, his
account of the similar movement in
Ireland Is interesting. He says:
1--WE have a grange move6,ent which
Is headed by central society known
az the Irish Agricultural Organization
society, composed of men of all creeds,
classes and politics and existing for
the sole purpose of teaching the farm
ers TO organize their industry in all It's
branches upon these business prlncl-
pies which we are discussing. The or
ganization society Is heading great
movement which remains absolutely
nonpolitical and Is producing the best
possible business results. The move
ment has only been In existence for n
dozen years, and yet at the moment the
associations which are organized under
It embrace roughly some 10000 farm
ers, who are shareholding members of
over 700 associations. AS the share
holders are, generally speaking, heads
of families, 1t Is safe to say that over
100000 persons, or about one-sixth of
the entire farming community, have
thus become interested in the move
ment, and it is going ahead at an I'M
precedented and rapidly accelerating
rate of progress. They build and equip
creameries; everything that the farmer
wants In his industry they purchase in
a large, wholesale way and pay par
to price. Some of the associations,
called agricultural banks, aim at get
ting cheap credit for farmers through
mutual security, thus enabling them to
add to the working capital available
for sound, practical development of
their industry"
When the day shall come, If 1t ever
does, that the beneficent principles and
purposes of the Order of Patrons of
Husbandry shall find their way across
the sea in the organization above de-
scribed their principles would find easy
root and congenial soil. Does 1t not
open up a vision of what our noble
fraternal Order may yet be when its
influence shall be worldwidef

THE AGE OF A HORSE.
ms How Not to Make Mis-
take About II.

'The groom that came to Chester
with Old Abdallah, the sire of Ham
bletonian, 55 years ago" said a vet
eran Orange county horseman to a
New York Sun reporter, told me
how to tell the age of horse, and
it has run in my head ever since.
This is the way it ram" and he re-
peated the following rhyme:
To tell the age of any horse,
Inspect the lower jaw, of course.
The six front teeth the tale will tell,
And every doubt and fear dispel.
The middle ''nippers" you behold
Before the colt is two weeks old;
Before eight weeks two more will come;
Eight months, the corners" cut the gum.
The outside grooves will disappear
From middle two In Just one year:
In two years from the second pair:
In three the Corners" too, are bare.
At two, the middle "nippers" Drop
At three, the second pair can't stop;
When four years old. the third pair goes;
At fve. a full new set he shows.
The deep black spots will pass from view.
At six years from the middle two;
The second pair at seven years;
At eight, the spot each corner" clears.
From middle ''nippers'' upper Jaw,
At nine the black spots will withdraw,
The second pair at ten are white;
Eleven finds the corners light
As time goes on the horsemen know
The oval teeth three-sided grow;
They longer get, p~oject before
I'LL twenty, when We know no more.

A Ten Acre United states Map,

One of the novel sights at the ST.
Louis exposition next year will be the
great ten acre map of the United
States 1t will also be very instructive.
Colonel j. III. Brigham, past master
of the national grange, as chairman Of
the government board has devised the
exhibit and has secured the use of a
sunny slope of ten acres of ground
near the government building, which
will be laid off like map of the United
States. Every state and territory will
be clearly defined and the boundary
line will be pathway, so the visitor
can walk around each state. The prod
ucts of each state will be growing upon
its miniature representative. Among
the numerous sights and scenes" of
the great exposition this will be one Of
the most original and attractive.

THE STATE AT A GLANCE.

Lizards an inch in length rained
down at Hazleton Saturday afternoon
during severe rain and electrical
storm. The strange phenomenon is
looked upon by the superstitous as a
bad omen.
Mrs. Henry Schwalm, living near
Reading, stepped in front OF a mower
to save her pet dog from being cut to
pieces and had both legs cut off above
the ankles. Her life is despaired Of.
The dog was unnjured.
Capitalists from the upper anthra-
cite region have just formed a com
pany and leased valuable coal lands
in the vicinity of Tuscarora, several
miles east of Pottsville, their lease
calling for an annual output of 100,

to 500 men and boys, and all of the
best coal measures will be mined.

Flavor DeDends on Food

The food animals consume modi-
fies the character of their flesh. Tur-
nips yield peculiar flavor to NUT
ton. The favor of mutton from
sheep that have lived upon the high
land is different from that of sheen
which have obtained their food chief
ly from the lowlands. The garlic of
the meadows and some fragrant
herbs modify the flavor of the meat.
Oily food tends to make the fat
soft. Hens partly fed on scraps of
decayed meat yield eggs that are at
once unpleasant to the taste and un-
healthy. Feeding the animals for
human food is then of great impor-
tance and demands experience. 1t is
not enough that food makes fat
it should also impart an agreeable
flavor.

"Take care of the pennies and the pounds
will take care of themselves"
Large things are but an aggregation Of
small things. If we take care of the small
things we are in effect taking care of the large
things which the small things combine TO
make.
Take care of what you eat, when you eat,
and your stomach will take care of itself
But who takes care of such trivial things?
That is why, someday, the majority Of
people have to take care of the stomach.
When that day comes, there is no aid so
effective in undoing the results of the past
carelessness as DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t strengthens the stomach, and
restores the organs of digestion and nutrition
TO condition of healthy activity. 1t cures
bihousness, heartburn, fatulence, indges.
tion, palpitation, dizziness, cold extremities
and score of other ailments which are but
the symptoms of disorder in the stomach and
its allied organs.

PRINCES SELF EFFACEMENT,
King Edwards Sensible Course While
His Royal Mother Was
Earth.

The world Is beginning to realize
the king. 1t took some time to do so.
There were plenty of people who had
grown so accustomed to the self-ef-
facement which the king had prac-
tlced so long as prince of Wales dur
ing the lifetime of his mother as to
have come TO the conclusion that in
Gil the serious affairs of his kingdom
the king would count for little, saws
London M. A. P. Mind you, there
were some ground for this assump-
uon. 1t is not generally known that
this self-effacement was the result not
merely of the princes own act and
respect for his mother, but also of
deliberate ministerial act. Some time
In the seventies the question was
raised whether, as the prince was
practically performing all the cere-
monial duties of royalty he should
not also share in some of its political
responsibilities. One Of the fiSst things
to be done If this question were de-
c1ded in the affirmative was to in
trust to the prince a large amount
of secret official knowledge-impor-
tant foreign Office dispatches, for exc
ample-which up to that time were
submitted to the eyes of the queen
alone. 1t is scarcely credible but I
have every reason to believe it Is true,
that the cabinet, after they had de-
bated the question very seriously and
very thoroughly, came to the conclu-
sion that it would be violation of COM
stitutional usage to give the prince
of Wales this information. The king
accepted the decision with the good
sense which he always displays
good sense typical of the nation to
which he so thoroughly belongs;; and
went on his way, content to be a
spectator of the great drama going
on Immediately around him, and to
be left to his own resources for the
gaining of knowledge of the secret
springs and unavowed motives of
great political events.

Sore Shoulders of Horses.

Heavy work season of the farm al
ways occasions CALLED or sore shoul-
ders on work horses. Here is a sim
Pile and cheap way to prevent this:
Take an ordinary sweat pad and
cover the surface next to the shouI-
der with white soft oilcloth. Be very
careful to have it put on very smooth,
without any wrinkles or Jumps on
its surface. The cover is put on by
neatly sewing it with strong thread,
so that it will not become displaced.
The trouble with the horses shoul-
ders in this respect is caused by
sweating, and as the oilcloth pre-
sents cool, dry surface and does
not hold the dampness as leather
or cloth does, it prevents the shoul-
ders from becoming sore in almost
every instance.-Midland Farmer.

Dogs That Need Shooting.

The greatest enemy of the shep-
herd is the good for nothing, low
down, measly, yaller dog, belonging
to a no count, shiftlesE, good-for-
nothing neighbor, For various rea-
sons, political and otherwise, strin-
gent laws regulating the sheep-kill-
ing dog are difficult of enactment.
The remedy is simple; Shoot the
dog and buy more sheep. Most sheep
men dislike neighborly ructions and
rather than fight it out with the
mo accounts" they give up the bust
ness, and that's one reason why the
sheep business has fallen in this
country. What isn't worth fighting
for isu't worth having. = Rural
