No Bows in Bowling AlIevs,

Boys under 16 years of age must
hereafter keep out of public pool, bill
lard, bowling and ten pin rooms, the
Governor having approved the act
which imposes a fine of $40 to 500 on
the proprietor of any such place who
permits boy under 16 years to be
present therein, even though he does
not play the game.
1t is said that this will work hard,
ship, as most of the boys now engaged
in setting pins in bowling alleys are
under the age of 18.

A Visit to Harrisburg and Gettys-
burg.
Masters Clyde Thomas, Mack Hald-
erman, Rodney Shives, George Fetter,
Lewis Leutze and Ned Viner, the six
banner scholars of Honorable Josiah
Howard's Sunday School class, of EN-
manuel Episcopal church, where his
guests at the Lochiel Hotel, Harris
burg, for several days last week, and
it is safe to say, that they were the
merriest and most interested, if not
the most important party which visit.
ed the State Capital during the closing
days of the Legislature
Immediately upon their arrival they
proceeded to deplete Harrisburg's sup
ply ofpeanuts, that the States pets-,the
tame and fascinating little squirrels,
which overrun the grounds OF the
great State Capital might be fed in
manner to do credit to Cameron
county. The border of peanut shells,
which marked their way through the
grounds, testified to everlasting dys
pepsia from over eating among the
innocent little squirrels-but it was a
glowing tribute to the generosity of
CImeron county. The freedom of the
great Capital of the Commonwealth,
was theirs as we'll as the freedom of the
grounds about it, and although neither
peanuts nor plums were offered to the
Members, still many an august law
maker and shining light of the Key.
stone state felt the better for coming
in contact with six wide.awake Ameri-
can boys, paying their first visit to the
StateCapitol, and the boys were allowed
toroam at will throughout the enormous
unfinished building from the flag room
to the great rotunda underneath the
mighty dome. They were likewise
privileged to visit both houses of Legis-
lature while in session and behold the
man, who said, "Thou shalt not smoke
cigarettes" and "thou shalt not play
;ruant at school," They were given a
fine ride to Harrisburg's reservoir for
its water supply, situated upon high
elevation outside of the city and com.
manding a most comprehensive view
of the surrounding country, with the
great dome of the Capitol looming up
over everything and the beautiful
Rockville bridge spanning the river
in the distance. Their visit ended with
a trip to the world famous battlefield
of Gettysburg, under the guidance of
Mrs. Howard and Mrs. Ross w. Bar
rows, Of Lock Haven, who were also
Mr. Howard's guests for the close of
! the Legislature. The boys were driven
over the greatest battlefield of the war
of the Rebellion, and the different
! points of interest explained to them by
a competent guide. They returned
home on Friday, voting the trip the
finest of their lives and Mr.. Howard
the prince of entertainers. The boys
gentlemanly conduct throughout the
trip, was a credit to Cameron county.

The Observer.

The Easter festival emphasizes the
Christian hope of immortality, and as
surance of its reality. DIR. Osler, tells
us that aside from the select company
of the spiritual few there are none VINO
give the subject any real attention, or
who, if they do give it any thought,
come to the conclusion that there Is no
reality in the life hereafter, and that IL
az is undesirable as it is unreal. But ii
is easy to imagine, as Elijah did, that
the company of the spiritual Is smaller
and more select that it really ls. Ihe
fact that one is apparently absorbed IN
the ordinary cares and duties OF life
and that he does not wear his nmost
thoughts and feelings on his sleeve, Is
not very conclusive indication thaC
he has no thought or desire for the lie
immortal. DR.. Osler states that he has
careful records of about five hundred
death beds, studied particularly with
reference to the sensations OF the
diving. Ninety suffered bodily pain
or distress of one sort or another,
eleven showed mental apprehension,
two positive terror, one expressed
spiritual exaltation, one bitter remorse.
The great majority gave no sign one
way or the other; like their birth, their
death was a sleep and forgetting.
The Preacher was right: in this matter
man hath no preeminence over the
beast.-'as the one dieth so dieth the
other" DR.. Osler's inference is that
the great majority of these persons
were wholly without thought or con-
Germ for the hereafter--certainly
hasty and sweeping inference. Who
can say how far this absence OF express
sion was due to utter Indifference, or
how far it was due to habitual reserve
or to prostration ofthe organs of sense
and Of the brain?
Ones attitude towards the question
of immortality must rest in the end
upon ones sense ofthe value of human
personality and life He who has no
sense of what is divine and sacred and
can see in a human life nothing but
physical organism, will very naturally
give no thought to life hereafter, or
else will regard such life as needless
and undesirable. Granting the prem
ises, such an attitude and conclusion
will be wholly warranted. The whole
point at issue turns upon whether our
conception Of human life is spiritual
or unspiritual. If one has no convic-
ton of the divine sacredness of the
human life and personality, no pos
sible array Of arguments will have any
power to persuade him Ofthe necessity
or reasonableness ofa lite hereafter. A
conviction Of the divine worth of
humanity must precede any real faith
in immortality. II that conviction be
wanting. no amount of scientific
reasoning eau implant it in The heart.
If it be present, it will transform ones
entire scientific view, and will itself
prove to be an ineZpugnable fact Of
which science must take account A
true belief in immortality must there
fore in the end rest upon a basis Of
spiritual vision. Science is powerless
to lay or implant this foundation. But
science is equally powerless to uproot
and overturn it when once it has been
laid.

Healthy Sunshine.

IT has for some time been known
that sunlight acts as a destroyer OF
MANY of those pathogenic organisms
which are popularity known as germs.
Some time ago an ingenious expert
mentalist demonstrated this fact in
A. very convincing manner by prepar-
ing culture" of these germs on a
fiat surface and exposing it to sun
light beneath a stencil plate, with the
result that he obtained an image OF
the cut out part of the stencil in
dead germ life, the rest of the pre-
pared plate being still alive. He
called it a living photograph" but
he same term has since been applied
to the popular cinematograph picture.
The Massachusetts Board of Trade
has recently carried out series OF
governments in order to ascertain how
far sunlight is able to cleanse water
affected with the undesirable germs
which result from sewage contamina-
lion. The two organisms dealt with
more particularly were the colon
bacillus and that associated with the
tvphoid. They found that both species
were quickly destroyed by free access
TO sunlight. Journal.

Shot and Shell.

It will probably be found that a
new record has been established in
the matter of rounds discharged by
the Port Arthur garrison and the be-
sieging army.
The rapidity of modern gunfire
must eclipse ali previous figures.
It was considered wonderful at the
siege of st. Sebastian in 1872 that the
preaching battery of ten guns should
average $50 rounds per gun in fifteen
and a half hours.
The Germans dropped 10000 pro-
iectiles into Mexico, killing, however,
only with each 500th discharge.
Only two people dropped at Trou-
Vile from the discharge of $4,000
shells.
Sedan was much more deadly, 240,-
600 proiectiles accounting for 5000
casualties.
The Americans, who pride them
selves on their craftsmanship, ex-
pected that terrible casualty lists
would result from their firing in the
war with Spain. Well, at Santiago
they bombarded for two nights, and
their machine guns alone were re
sponsible for $4,000 rounds. But only
sixty-eight of the enemy succumbed.

Don't Keep Old Sheep.

A sheep man writes: I'VE once
years old produce a good lamb and
shear as good a fleece as the younger
ones, and as she was pure bred we
should have kept her longer If she
had not been stolen. But we think
such cases are not common, any more
than cows that are profitable at
twenty years old, or horses at thirty.
1--WE think eve that is four or
five years old has at least reached
her prime, and while she may still
raise a good lamb, she begins to de-
crease in amount of wool, and is more
liable to sickness because of a lack
of vigor and needs more careful feed
ing than younger one. We would
not advise anyone who is not well
experienced in the care of sheep to
buy fiye-year-old sheep at any price,
and we would not do it ourselves I'M
less we bought them so cheap that the
lambs next spring would be worth
all the flock cost us. Nor would we
keep one until that age unless she
was valuable as a breeder and seemed
to retain vigor enough to give a good
fleece each year. You would be likely
to do better in paying higher price
for younger sheep, even If your CAPT.
tai would not buy so many"

Treating Frozen Plants.

If plants get frozen, as may happen
with the best Of care, they should be
thawed out slowly by sprinkling them
with cold water. In this way even
badly frozen plants may be saved. To-
matoes, the most easily damaged of
garden plants, have been restored
without serious injury after being
frozen stiff, by turning the hose upon
them and treating the tops to a thor
ough bath of cold water House plants
may often be saved in the same way.
But the work should be carefully done
to avoid injuring the foliage. Frozen
leaves should not be handled if it can
be avoided. If there are many of the
plants they should be placed in cold
room and the temperature gradually
raised, if it is possible to do so. On
no account should the plants be sub
jected to extremes of temperature

Jules Verne is now nearly totally

not only in years, but in feeling.
Years ago-more than ffty-he enter

to write two novels year and only
two, the publisher. of course, to have
the exclusive right of bringing them
out. And it is for this reason-be-
cause he wrote for hire rather than
for the sake Of literature-that place
in the academy is denied. Yet it will
probably happen that Jules Verne viii

Flower of the Hour.

The fashion in flowers has turned
toward poinsettas This large. red,
barbaric blossom makes a brilliant
note of color for the winter decora
lion. 1t is seen on half the we'll ap-
pointed tables of this season The
flowers are often arranged with ferns
huge white or gold basket for
the centre of the table These has
kets are immensely popul.r They
come in every shade Of straw. They
are square, round, empire and boat
shape When there is a handle it is
twisted with tulle or simply tied with
a huge bow of satin ribbon in the
centre. Except at very cerenonious
dinners this basket Of flowers is pre-
ferred to any centrepiece. The wide.
open-mouthed French ones, sided.
are especially attractive. They must
be heaped with flowers carelessly
put into moss.
Another fashionable centrepiece for
the table is huge transparent French
bowl, filled with the most wildly col
ored fruit. Through the fruit arc
masses of red Or yellow flowers. Holly
is especially used because OF its color
ing. This bowl is mounted on wreath
of asparagus yines.-Washingt
