BEWARE OF CONTINENTS FOR CATARRH THAT CONTAIN MERCURY

As mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on pre- scriptions from reputable physi- clans, as the damage they will do is ten fold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufact- ured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, To- ledo, O., contains no mercury, and is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mu- cous surfaces of the system. In buying Halls Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genuine. It is taken internally and made in To- ledo, Ohio, by F. J. Cheney & Go.
 Sold by Druggists. Price 75c. per bottle.

Table Manners In sibe,.,4,

A traveller in Siberia has tie. follGsv.

which he met with: "In eating you
must reach for what is passed during
this first stage Of a meal. You woald
never suggeso' to your neighbor. on the
right to pass you the cheese, but you
would rise iI' your place and, with
firm grasp Oh your knife, reach over
his plate and impale the. tempting
morsel. II this is not possible you
leave your place and go around the
tabls and secure your loot. MY Rus

turned to me and said: T. see you eat
with fork.' Yes said T. and see
that you do not No, Il had a sister
who studied at an English oonv rent in
Japan for a year or SO. When she
came back she ate with a. fork, but
we soon laughed her out Of H. The
end OF the Russian knife, is broader
than the portion next. to the handle
and It Is used both as knife and as
a spoon. They complain that the
American knives do not hold enough. ("
After this It Is not surprising that
"the Russians were highly amused"
at the authors use of the toothbrush,
which they consider peculiarly fem.
inine utensil."

Lots Of Room Yet.

At this time, Europe, which is the
center OF the worlds civilization, has
an area OF $3.50 square miles and
a population of 3S0.oo0,0O0. or nearly
lot per square mile. The United
States, on the other hand, with an area
Of 3,ol5.s0o square miles, nearly equal
that of Europe. has only 80,000,000 in
habitants. With a percentage of in
habitants per square mile as large as
Europe's 1t would have a population
OF 20,000, 900. This country, there
fore. has reasonable capacity of 240,-
900, 900 more inhabitants,
Since 1890 the total number Of i'm
migrants who have come to the shores
of the United States Is 21,75S,000.
Large as that number may seem, 1t Is
insignificant, indeed, as compared with
the capacity of this country for more
population. Last year $4,000 immi-
grants arrived, the largest number on
record, and yet II that number should
hereafter land every year, 1t would

New Sta,e Automobile Law.
After January tst Next, Highway Depart
ment Will Have Charge Of Licenses.

State Highway Commissioner
Hunter is formulating his plans for
the enforcement of the new auto
mobile law which goes into effect
January Ist next. H. M. Cut
shall, former member of the legis-
lature from Crawford county, will
have charge Of this bureau of the
department and will probably have
one or two assistants.
The new law transfers the issu-
ing Of auto licenses from prothono-
tsries to the highway department
and after January Ist nobody will
be allowed to run an automobile in
Pennsylvania without having first
obtained license from the high.
way department. With this license
will be furnished two number tags
one for the front and one for the
rear of the machine.
All other tags will have to be re
moved SO that hereafter all machines
operated anywhere in this State
must carry only the numbered tags
bearing the license number. The
number tag in the rear of the ma
chine must be lighted at night so
that it can be plainly read. The
new law also regulates the speed of
autos in cities, boroughs, and town.
ships and makes radical change in
existing laws Oh this subject.

School Board Deadlocked.

owing to a deadlock in the
School Board Of Conyngham Town
ship Columbia County, the schools
dia not open at the time agreed up
on by the board.
A popularity of this deadlock is
that the hitch is not against the ap-
pointment OF any particular teach
ers. but against the appointment of
any teachers at all. The board ;s
composed of six directors, three of
whom, it is alleged, are determined
10 iorce the matter into court, which
VIII cause a dissolution of the old
board and the appointment of six
new new members friendly to the side
iaVoring such action, thereby plac-
ing them in control.

LEAP YEAR PENALTIES.
What Man Must Pay II He Rejects
PROPOSALS.

It's all very well to entreat th,
pleading maiden to arse from he,
knees, and to tell her kindly but firm
ly that you will be brother to her
though you cannot feel that you love
her well enough to trust your little
heart in her keeping.
It's all very well and very easy 10
do that. But have you thought
young man, about the penalty you
must pay for rejecting the lady's
Offer?
DO you know what you have to give
every woman whose nand you spurn.
In the year when the feminine sex is
permitted to take the first leap into
matrimony?
Well. brace yourself up, then. and
prepare to bid farewell to a consid.
cradle portion of your patrimony. es.

number OF proposals. For the forfeit
you must pay for each rejection ia
nothing less than-a silk dress!
BY whose authority? BY the author.
lty OF tradition, young sir! That
same tradition which sets apart all
the Leap years for the benefit OF
maids who want to marry.
This punishment seems in no wise
TO hit the crime, but it's the punish.
ment that has been handed down
through the ages, and it's got to be
taken manfuly.
Tradition is mute upon the suhiect
as to whether it has to be a rainbow
tafeta at 80 cents a ward, or a lus-
trous, regal silk at SO. 1t is merely
stated in the bond that IL must be silk.
In order to avoid mistakes, it would
be best to take your sister into your
confidence; tell her what color eyes
and hair the rejected lady has, de-
scribe her height and figure. and then
be guided by your sisters advice. only
being careful TO pay at least four
times as much as the price she sug.
gests, because if there is a piece of
SILK to be had for ten cents a yard.
that's the piece your sister Will sug-
gest for that other woman. This is
curious, but you will find 1t a fact.
Really you can afford to pay some
thing for that dress Consider how
much more economical it is to buy one
gown now. at any price, than to have
to go on buying gowns for her all
your life!
And the best thing you can do is
10 pray that your proposals may all
come right now, ''in a heap" when

That's the cheapest rate at which
you can have to escape from a per-
olexing situation.

Size Of Manchurla.

Manchuria corresponds in latitude
to Manitoba, North Dakota, Minneso-
ia and Nebraska. Its area of 1862 $40
square miles is only 10000 square
miles less than the combined area Of
these great grain states. II is two and
a half times greater than California,
and is as big as Texas, Alabama and
Louisiana combined. In the northern
part OF the province are thousands of
square miles untouched. Manchuria
has a possible wheat area as great as
that Of the United States,
