WRECK ON VALLEY
THREE MEN KILLED

HAZLETON. Jan. 4. On the I.e-
high Valley railroad at 3 O'Clock this
morning a coal train of % cars, going
down Weatherly hill during the bliz-
zsrd. got beyond control of the en-
gineer, when rounding a sharp curve,
near uazle Greek junction.
The engine jumped the track and
toppled over into the creek. The en-
tire train followed, the cars and con =
tents piling up mountain high, COM
pletely burying the engine and crew.
Engineer William Swank, fireman
Robert Turner, and Brakeman Reuben
Mochamer, are missing and are under
the mass of debris. Wrecking crews

origin t~f the Name of the Familiar
String ana Finger Game.
Cats cradle has been familiar to most
of us from childhood as Il game for two
players, in which the first winds a
looped cord over the fingers of both
hands in a symmetrical figure. and the
second inserts his fingers and removes
it in such Il way as to produce IL diff
ferent figure. This they do alternately
several times, always changing the
formation The art consists in making
the right changes.
The cord forms a rude representation
of manger, and the name originally
was "cratch" cradle cratch being II

In which our Saviour was laid. They

translation of Luke ii, Z. The word is
still used in Roman Catholic countries
in that particular sense.
The Able Provost says in his 'AI0n-
uel Lexique," "Cratch is the name CIV
en- to a manger for cattle and which is
consecrated by the birth of Jesus
Christ" To the present day the racks
which stand in the fields for cattle to
eat from are called cratchcs.

The Christmas Tree.

Just now there is an outcry against
the destruction of prospective forests
caused by the cutting of Christmas
trees. Hundreds of thousands OF young
spruce, balsam and helnlock trees an
nually ur5 sacrificed in the Christmas
trade, and it is alleged ncedlessly. A
couple of days ago Professor Clifford
Pinchot, the government forester, was
asked how many trees we're cut down
every year to be trimmed and decofat-
Ell for young Americans He replied ::
No doubt many hundreds of thous-
ands of young trees are used for this
purpose every Christmas. But don't
you worry about the losses sustained
by our forests from this cause. That
is not a drop IN the bucket compared
with the destruction of larger aud
more valuable trees for other purposes
An acre of land will produce several
thousand spruce trees of the kind that
are used for Christmas decoration. But
the great danger We must guard
against, IL tne forests Oh tne country
are not to be totally wiped out, is the
reckless cutting of timber for COM
mercial purposes. For instarce, 120,-
900, 600 new railroad ties are laid down
in the United States every year. That
represents the destruction OF at least
rs, 600, 900 trees every IL months for
that purpose alone. More millions Of
trees arc cut down annually to make
telegraph and telephone poles. But
with proper care our forests can fur.
nish all this timber without being ex-
hausted. Everything depends on the
adoption of systematic cutting plans
by which certain trees may be saved,
others cut and new ones planted,

EFFECTS OF TOBACCO.
In Some Cases 1t Is Stimulating and
In Others Narcotic.

In Others Narcotic.
Whether or not tobacco is a stimu-
liant has been veXed question ever
since the time of OvicdO the first
writer to describe it fully, who says
that the Indians of Hispanlola used to-
bacco to produce insensibility, whereas
others among the old Spanish discov-
erers say that the natives smoked to
stimulate themselves to fresh eXertions.
Men whose business leads to expo
sure to weather or to violent physical
exercise. such as sailors, soldiers,
watChmen nayvies and field laborers,
all take tobacco as a stimulant and
have done so from the first
These classes are mentioned as spe-
cially large consumers of tie weed in
DR.. Everurd's "Panacea," published in
1859. Hobbies and Newton both used
tobacco TO stimulate. Goethe and Heine
hated it. Scott smoked profuse!y; but,
according to Mr.. Trelawney, Byron
'never smoked pipe or cigar"
Modern experience and observation
seem TO indicate that tobacco is slim
ulant in moderation and narcotic in
excess, in this respect resembling all
other intoXicants. using the term in it's
widest sense, from tea TO opium.
