Mail Pouch Found.

About two years ago a mail pouch
was stolen from the "Pan-Am." depot
at this place and all efforts to detect
the thieves proved fruitless. A few
days ago the pouch, riffied of it's con-
tents, was found on Sage's Hill, about
fires had burned it almost to a crisp,
no doubt destroying any letters that
may have been left behind. The lock
was as good as ever. Post office In
spector s. L. Emmons, of Bradford,
was in town investigating the matter.

Joshua Simpkins," four act New
England play, will be presented at the
opera house, Monday, Jan. 30th. The
climax of stage realism, is asserted, has
been reached in the presentation of the
stirring saw mill scene in Joshua
Simpkins," and will be presented in
this city by a peculiar mechanical con-
trivance which has never been intro
duced here before. The saw mill scene
is claimed to be a vast improvement
over many attempts in similar line.
The company also boasts of a splendid
orchestra, which is carried complete by
the organization, to aid in the proper
presentation of the play, which is said
to abound with musical and dancing
specialtes of a high order. To assist
Joshua Simpkius" in popularity, a
band of music is also carried. and a
concert is given which is said to be far
in advance of any thing usually heard
with travelling musical organization.
The parade will leave the theater at
the usual time and take the usual route,
making burIesque parade.

The Divide Musin Company.
jan. %, 1905.

The management of the Star Course
has placed the community under great
obligation by bringing to Emporium so
distinguished an artist as Mr. Divide
Musin, the Belgian violinist. The
audience which thronged the court
house on Monday evening listened
with the keenest pleasure to his
mastery rendering OF arrangements
from Handel and Hayden. He is him.
self a composer of high merit and is
the author Of an effective method in
violin instruction. In temperament
and method, he belongs to the class.
ical and academic rather than to the
romantic order of musicians. There is
little in his playing to remind one of
the riotous abandon of Remenyii.
Mr. Musin received excellent support
from the other members of his COM
pany. Mr.. Green, the basso, has a
voice of rich quality, while Madame
Misick sings with fine taste and ex-
preston. Mr.. Koenig gave great de-
light to the lovers of Chopin by his
rendering of the Polonaise in A Flat
and the Nocturne in f. Sharp.

The Observer.

There are several very different
classes of persons who believe that the
world is getting worse instead of better.
First there are those whose dominant
spirit is one of cynical disbelief in
goodness, whose thoughts turn to the
dark and evil side of things as instinct
lively as the sparks fly upwards. In
their foul eyes all virtue is pretence
and all honesty humbug. The ques-
ton that they ask of every undertak-
ing is, "What is the graft?' They as
sumo that every man has his price,
and that he is fool ifhe fails to getit.
To talk to these people about moral
progress is to speak to them in an un-
known tongue. In SO far as the idea
of moral advancement can find on
trance at all into their brain, it is re-
ceived with scorn and ridicule. It is
really an insult to other classes to pes
simists to include them in the same
breath with these lovers of filth and
darkness.

this is the beginning of the end of the
reign of Gar Nicholas. Russia is evi-

Then there are those who sincerely
prefer good to evil, but who through
temperament or habit always see pre-
dominance of the latter over the form
sr. Old age does not necessarily bring
the spirit of pessimism in its train;
but, if not resisted, it has tendency
to do SO. Distance lends enchantment
to the view, and to the eye that is
turned backwards, the past, as it lives
in memory, seems ideal when compar-
ed with the present. The Israelites in
the Wilderness longed for the good old
times in Egypt We are told that Of
all that generation only the hopeful
hearted Caleb and Joshua lived to
enter the land of Promise.

At some future time the Observer
will try to point out some particulars
which indicates a real advance in the
moral condition of the world. For the
present he will conclude by saying
that whether or not one is an optimist,
depends not so much upon outward
facts as upon ones own inward choice
and determination. 1t is with the
spirit of hope as it is with the spirit of
faith. No amount of outward proof
can implant the spirit of faith in the
heart, if the will to believe be not
there. And no number of outward
facts can inspire one with the spirit of
hope, if the.will and determination to
be hopeful be wanting.

Cameron County press. [volume] (Emporium, Cameron County, Pa.) 1866-1922, 1905-01-26

There are also few people who have
theological interest in believing that
the world is getting worse They believe
that sometimes-perhaps soon-our
Lord will return to the earth in visible
presence and power, to begin his milen-
ial reign. They believe that until that
advent occurs it is hopeless to expect
any improvement in the moral con-
dition of the world; rather, they be-
lieve that the world must steadily grow
worse and worse until the darkest
hour is reached which just precedes
the coming dawn. The Observer has
encountered two or three of these pre-
millenialists, and has found it a hope,
less and thankless task to try to con
vince them that there really are visible
tokens of moral advancement in the
world. To allow themselves to be
convinced would be equivalent to a
surrender of their pet dogma; and of
course they must not surrender that.

The Care of the Eyes.

People who recognize the importance
Of taking care of their health often
quite forget that II we want to pre-
serve them it Is just as necessary to
take care Of our eyes. First Of all take
care Of your general health. Poor
health often leads indirectly to various
eye troubles. Then remember that
straining Of the eyes is caused by q
dazzling glare or bad light. Glare
and gloom are equally bad to work In.
You need not ask which Is the worse
for the eyes. One is as bad as the
other. The light should fall on book or
work from behind us. The attitude
while at work Is Of great Importance.
The head should as far as possible be
kept erect. STOPPING causes an in
creased flow Of blood to the head and
eyes. This Is injurious to them. Don't
read when travelling. Deny yourself
this pleasure for the sake Of your eyss.

To Sleeu Restfully.

There are three things that prevent
sleep overfatigue, material disturb
ances from the outside and mental dis
turbances from Within" says Annie
Payson Call in The Freedom Of Life"
"In nine cases out Of ten it Is the
unwillingness to lie awake that keeps
us awake. We wonder why we do not
sleep. We toss and turn and wish we
could sleep. We fret and fume and
worry because we do not sleep. We
think Of all we have to do on the fol-
lowing day and are oppressed with the
thought that we cannot do it if we do
not sleep. First, we try one expert
ment to see if it will make us sleep,
and when it fails we try another and
perhaps another. In each experiment
we are watching to see if it will work.
There are many things to do, any one
of which might help us to sleep, but
the watching to see if they will work
keeps us awake.
'There are five things to remember
to help rest an overtired brain: First,
healthy Indifference to wakefulness;
second, concentration Of the mind on
simple things; third, relaxation Of the
body; fourth, gentle rhythmic breath
ing Of fresh air; fifth, regular nourish-
ment"

How Inventors Are ENCOURAGED.

The admiralty and the war Office
have a monumental record Of inepti-
tude in their dealings with inventors.
The story of the treatment meted out
to the inventor Of the marine chronom-
eter is almost incredible.
The government offered reward Of
10000 to any one who should discover
q method of determining longitude to
one degree Of a great circle, or sixty
geographical miles; $4,000 to any one
who got within forty miles, 100000 for
the man who could get within thirty
miles. Harrison made a chronometer
which took a vessel to Lisbon and
back, with the result that he showed
the captain to be ninety miles out Of
the reckoning at one point of the voy-
age. He made three other instruments,
each better than the preceding one,
but he was kept over forty years be-
fore he was given the moiety Of the
reward offered. and every vexatious
trick that ingenuity could devise was
brought into operation to drive him
from his plan.-London Pail Mall
Gazette.
