going over the effects in the house.
Most of the supposed wealth of his
father was we'll invested, and waA
quickly gotten together. Recently the
administrator began making an inven
tory of the contents of the mansion.
In an out-of-the-way place was the
trunk that later proved to be the treas
ure chest. 1t showed the signs of age
and neglect, and very little attention
was paid to it, Finally Mr.. Tripler
after looking over everything else, de!
cided to see what the trunk con
tanned.
There was no key to the trunk, SO
the lock had to be forced. Scarcely
had the trunk been opened before the
searchers began to be astonished
Neatly done up in packages in the up,
per part of the trunk were diamonds
and jewels of thousands of dollars in
value. Then valuable documents were
disclosed. According to the rumors
the total value of the contents of the
trunk was more than S35, 900.
Mr.. Tripler is now giving attention
to all of the unusual places in the
mansion and to the contents Of al
boxes and packages in the hope o.
finding other hidden treasures.

Medicine.

toms are paleness of the lips, gums
and cheeks, shortness of breath and
palpitation of the heart after the
slightest exertioD, dull eyes and loss

Snakes Reared for their Skins.

The idea that snakes are useless
creatures and should be exterminated
wherever found, will have to pass
away, says the Shoe Trade Journal,
as in Australia they are now being
Systematically reared for the sake of
their skins, which have a considera-
BILE commercial value in London,
Paris and New York. Snakeskin is
the fashionable material for slippers,
belts, bags, purses, jewel boxes, card
cases, dressing-table accessories, etc.
Rabbit trappers supplement their
means considerably by catching young
snakes and extracting their poinson-
GUS fangs. The blacks are also ex-
pert snake catchers. To them the
snake is an agreeable article of diet.

Two Rules for Good CARRIAGE.

If you are walking along the street
and wake up to the fact that you are
carrying yourself poorly take the men,
tai attitude of standing straight, as
well as the physical one. Look at the
men you meet and imagine that each
of them owes you dollar Put even
suggestion of arrogance into your
position. Hold your head well back;
look people squarely in the face. This
will not only give the impression to
others that you possess the power you
want, but it will actually tend to bring
that power, Keep the neck against
the collar.-Worlds Work.

KILL FOWLS IN CHURCH.
Peculiar Case Of Dissertation Battles
Police Force.

Narberh, Pa.-Entering the Fair
view Union church to hold Sunday
school, Superintendent Charles Fryer
was Mortified to discover that vandals
had broken into the edifice and used
1t for a slaughter-house for about three
dozen chickens, the blood and feathers
of which were strewn in wild disorder
over the church. There was other evil
dence of vandalism. The oil lamps
with which the building is lighted had
been pried from the wall and were
left on the floor, while hymn-books
and papers were scattered about in
confusion.
An investigation developed that the.
schoolhouse next door had also been
broken into, clock had been stolen
from the wall, and the robbers had
nearly burned the building, having
thrown a lighted match into a teach
ers desk, where a number of papers
and books were burned.
The Lower Merton police discovered
that the cellar door of the church had
been broken from it's hinges while sew
eral attempts had been made to jimmy
the shutters. A cold chisel, with
which the shutters had been opened,
was found. Though they spent the en-
tire day in efforts to discover the
farmer from whom the fowls had been
stolen, the police were unsuccessful,
for none of the residents of the Fair.

The Fortune Tempted.

A well known British nobleman was
actually engaged to Miss Coutts, but
on her challenging him one day wheth-
er 1t was her personality or her great
fortune which appealed to him he
frankly acknowledged that although
he was much attached to her, her vast
property had been his special induce
ment in betrothing himself.
Her reply was characteristic: Let
us then remain the best of friends In
stead OF being the poorest of lovers"

HOW WE ESCAPED BEING FISH.
Earth Would Have Been Completely
Enveloped by Oceans But for Moon.

Chicago.-If it were not for the
moon the inhabitants of this world
would to-day be swimming around in
one worldsized fishpond. Fins and
scales would be their only clothes
Angleworms would be their diet, and
they probably would be furnishing the
greatest sport for the fishermen who
tnhabit Mars and other nearby worlds
How they escaped this fate is ex-
planned by DR.. William H. Pickering,
professor Of astronomy in the Massa.
chusetts Institute of Technology and
in the Harvard observatory, in the
Journal of Geology, issued from the
University of Chicago.
He contends that the moon was
made out of materials which formerly
filled the basin of the Pacific ocean,
and that when it separated from the
earth it took along three-fourths of the
earth's crust, the remainder of the
crust being torn in two to form the
eastern and western continents.
IF the moon had not been formed,
or If it had carried away the whole of
the terrestrial crust, our earth would
have been completely enveloped by its
oceans" he says.

TOMATO REFUSE KILLING
FISH IN THE MISPILLI0N.

The water and refuse which runs in.
to the Mispillion from the three can
neries in Milford, has sOured the water
until it is now a dull green, and the
fish OF all kinds are dying by the thous-
and. This refuse from the canneries
is rich in phosphate materials and it is
a willful waste for it to run into the
river this aside from the fact that it is
destroying the food fish Of this stream.
1t is BOW time for action to be taken to
rectify this trouble and stop the waste
1t can not be done for this season, but
can be provided for before another
opens. We suggest that the U. S.
Government be interested, either
through the department of fisheries, or
the bureau Of navigation. But if moth
ing else can be done, the State Board of
Health has ample power in the case.
Save the waste Of phosphate materials,
and preserve the fish but, best of all,
safeguard the public heath. Here's the
suggestion, and it is your duty-every-
body to make a move in this matter.
Don't all take it out in talk act.
