Piles upon top of piles ot people have the piles, and De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve cures them. There are many different kinds of piles, but if you get the genuine and original Witch Hazel Salve made by E. o. De Witt & Co.,, of Chicago, cure is certain. H. A. lis dale of Summerton, s.

AN ENJOYABLE CONCERT

The Berry concert of the 22d was thoroughly enjoyed by our townspeo- ole. Miss Mary Rebecca Berry is a pupil of Prof Rebecca Holmes of Smith college, Northampton, Mass and is likely to prove very brilliant performer on the violin, which is her speciality. Miss Dibble of Amenia, N.
 Y., takes high rank as an elOcutionist. The violin solo by Prof Holmes was fine and it is hoped Kent people may have the pleasure :of listening to her again. They were very ably assisted by some of our local talent, which as

VILLAGE CHURCH NOTES.

Your correspondent was reminded of the presence of summer here, over last Sunday, the hottest spell expert enced thus far, this year. The church was the coolest place in the village, but the congregation was not as large as many other Sundays previous. The exertion in getting there seemed to discourage many. Rev MT Posts ser mon was of the usual length. He would not have been blamed if he had shortened it. Short sermons, especial ly in summer, give the best satisfac- tion. His theme, last Sunday, was connected with Independence Day, the growth of our nation and the de- velopment of the world the past 100 years. On Monday, Rev MT Post left his family at Clinton, N. Y., and we are promised the service of A. P. Smith of THE BEE in the pulpit, next Sunday morning.

Something New.

A cane that is hollow inside and will receive a powder that is perfectly harm less, will not light with match. By pou1- ing this powder inside of cane it goes to the bottom where there is a metal arrange ment to receive it, and by striking the end of the cane on some hard substance it will produce a noise louder than a 32 caliber blank cartridge. These canes are 25O and 500 shot by one filling and continually striking on the ground till emptied The beauty of these canes is that a child can- not have the eyes inj jured as the explosion occurs at their feet.

THE PLANET EARTH.
It's Movements Around the sun and
Inon Its Own Axis.

It's Movements Around the sun and
Upon It's Own Axis.
The earth, considered as a planet
occupies n favored rank In the solar
system. 1t pleased the all wise Gre
ator to assign its position among the
heavenly bodies where nearly all the
sister planets are visible to the naked
eye. 1t is situated next to Venus and
is the third planet from the sun. 1t
moves around the sun from west to
east In 3G5 days, 8 hours, 4S minutes
and 4s seconds and turns the same
way on its axis in % hours, SO min
utes and seconds.
That the earth, In common with all
the planets, rcyolves around the sun
as center Is n fact which rests upon
the clearest demonstrations OF phlloso-
ply. That II revolves, like them, upon
it's own axis is truth which every ris-
ing and setting gun illustrates and
which very many phenomena concur
to establish. Either the earth moves
around its axis every day or the whole
universe moves around 1t in the same
time. There Is no third opinion that
can be formed on this point Either
the earth must reyolve on It's axis ey-
cry twcnty-four hours to produce the
alternate succession Of day and night
or the sun, moon, planets, comets, fixed
stars and the whole frame Of the uni
verse itself must move around the
earth in the same time. To suppose
the latter case to be the fact would be
TO cast a reflection on the wisdom OF
the Supreme Architect, whose laws are
universal harmony As well might the
beetle, that in moment turns on its
ball, imagine the heavens and the
earth had made n revolution In the
same instant.
The idea OF the beavens revolving
about the earth f. incuInbered with In
Vulnerable difficulties. We will men
ton only one. II Is estimated on good
authority that there are visible by
means Of glasses no less than 100000
900 stars, scattered at all possible
distances In the heavens above, beneath
and around us. Now, is 1t In the least
degree probable that the yelocities OF
all these bodies should be so regulated
that, though describing circles 50 very
different In dimensions, they should
complete their revolutions In exactly
the same timer
In short, there IL no more reason to
suppose that the heavens revolve
around the earth than there Is to sup
pose that they revolye around each OF
the other planets separately and nt the
same time, since the same apparent
revolution iS common tn them all, for
they all appear to rcyolyc upon their
axes I'm different periods. The rotation
of the earth determines tie length OF
the day and may be regarded az one Of
the most important elements In astro-
nOmlcal science. II serves as n uniyer-
sal measure Of time and forms the
standard OF comparison for the rcvolu-
tions Of the celestial bodies for all ages,
past and 20 come. Theory and obscrva-
ton concur In proving that among the
innumerable viclssltudes That prevail
throughout creation the period OF the
earth'g dlurnal rotation IL immutable.-

manship. He was fairly beaten in that
fight, but he fooled a lot of delegates
at Harrisburg. and won out.
In 1886 he was candidate for Presi-
dent and received 61i votes-5s from
Pennsylvania, from Georgia, l from
Mississippi and from louisiana Nc
Kinley was nominated and elected, and
Quay soon after qGarreled with him.
During his whole life Quay was
speculator. the state money was SAID
to have gone that way and in March OF
1885 the Peoples bank of Philadelphia
state depository failed, and its cashier
committed suicide. The discovery Of
some kilograms from Quay TO the cash
ier, including the famous plum tree
one, led to the arrest of Quay, his son
Dick and former State Treasurer Hay
wood, but Haywood died, and the two
Quays were acquitted.
In 1899 his second term in the Senate
expired, and the opposition to his re-
election deadlocked the Legislature
Coy. Stone appointed Quay to the Sen
ate as soon as the Legislature adjourn
ed. but the Senate refused to accept
him by vote Of 80 to 30. Then came
the Ripper bill, and the death of Chris
Magee, and finally Quay won out
again.
In 1902 he turned down his old lieu
tenant, John Elkin, and put up Penny
packer, and this year ne turned down
Pennypacker and put up Elkin, whom
he feared as a possible competitor for
the Senate. and hoped to shelve on the
Supreme Bench.
And now people are wondering what
Gov. Pennypacker viii do-whether he
will make an appointment, as the Ma
tional Constitution allows him to DO,
whether he will convene the Leglsia-
ture as the State Constitution requires
him to do, or whether he will allow the
whole matter to go over until the new
Legislature meets in January next.
