FOUR ECLlPSES WILL OCCUR
Sun and hoon Will Each Be Hidden
Twice During This Year.

Astronomical phenomena for the year
1907 will embrace four eclipses, two of
the sun and two of the moon. The total
eclipse Of the sun, January l3, invisible
in the United States, will be observed
as partial eclipse throughout the
greater part of Asia, the path of total
ity passing from Russia at sunrise
across an almost inaccessible portion of
Siberia, at sunset.
A partial eclipse of the moon, Jan
uary 20, will be partly visible in the
United States, the moon setting eclips-
ed as seen from the greater portion of
this country The beginning of this
lunar eclipse will be visible gorcranv
all through North America, the Pacific
Ocean, Central Asia and Australia. The
end will be visible in Northwest Amer
lea, the Pacific Ocean, Asia, Australia,
Central and Eastern Europe.
There will be an annual eclipse Of the
sun July 10, visible in all of North
America and parts of the Atlantic and
Pacific Ocean, and just at sunset on the
west coast of Africa.
The most interesting phenomena of
this year, and the one of most scientific
value, will be the transit of the planet
Mercury on the morning Of November
IA, which will be generally visible in
the United States, the sun rising with
the little planet plainly visible across
the disk of the great king of day. This
phenomenon will be generally visible in
Europe, Africa, Western and Central
Asia, Western Austria, and South
America.
The theory Of Mercury's movements
has always been a source of trouble to
astronomers, even in Laland's time. 1t
is said the planet seems to exist for no
other purpose than to throw discredit
on astronomers. Therefore the transit
next fall will be watched with unusual
scientific interest.

GEE WIFI!
Here's a Hot One Handed Out by
Spansler.

l.. |. Spangler, of York, who claims
he obtains his knowledge direct from
the Almighty, has issued his prophecies
for 1907.
His 1907 bulletin says Russia will lose
its Gar and Turkey its Sultan and that
all Kings of the nations will fall. He
asserts there will be fights and disturb
ances in the religious world and that
the end of the world will be within two
years; revolution will spread throughout
the land. Many rulers and capitalists
will thang themselves on account of
financial troubles. Tidal waves will de-
stroy seaboard towns, he declares; is
lands will disappear, mountains will be
found missing. Mothers-in-law will be
arrayed against daughters-in- W.
There will be kitchen upheavals and
families will be unable to obtain help.
In 1908 the stars will fall. King Ed
ward will pass away as the last King of
England. New York will be DESTROYED
by fire.
Our advice is keep a cool head, eat
three hearty meals day, take full
nights rest. Don't worry, and you
will outlive Spangler. Because a man
makes an easy guess now and then is
no sign that he is a prophet. The
prophet business is played out at this
age

any degree of comfort.

To Our Trade and Friends.

On and after February LIST we have
arranged to change our plan of doing
business to a cash basis, opening ac-
counts with only those who arrange for
same by note payable at a specified
time.
For years we have tried the credit
business but find former methods are
not adequate to the present. Goods
now are sold on an entirely different
plan. Cash buyers buy where they can
buy the cheapest, and in order to meet
this class of trade we are compelled to
buy and sell for cash. Everything in
the hardware line is advancing in price
and manufacturers are greatly behind
in filing orders, but notwithstanding
these facts by buying and selling for
cash and contracting for goods before
advances for 1907 were made, we will
be able to furnish our trade with goods
at very little advance for sometime to
come.
We are now receiving three carloads
OF field fencing, barbed wire and
nails, all Of which have advanced sever
al times in the market since we made
our contract, and we are prepared to
make liberal offer to our trade during
the month of January, giving special
prices far below the market value.
Contracts must be made before Febru-
airy LIST, after which time the price will
be advanced to the market value Farm
ers contemplating buying field fence
would find it to their interest to place
their orders at once. Besides the ad-
vantage given in price our fencing this
year is better galvanized and made
with stronger stays. Please do not
forget these special offers are for this
month.
Respectfully yours,

Treating Open wound

In the treatment of open wounds,
where there has been surface injury
bnly and the discharge has not been
treat, much benefit has been found to
follow the simple plan of treatment
here described. The part is well washed
with warm water 1t Is patted dry.
Then it is very freely covered with
boric acid powder. Over all is laid
piece Of linen. Now adhesive plaster
Is cut into strips so long that they can
go right across the linen and be at
tached to the healthy skin. BY means
Of six or more Of such strips the linen
Is securely fixed Over this is placed
a piece Of cotton wool. Finally the
part is neatly bandagcd Practically
The air is now excluded from the sore
part, and this Is the reason for what
ever good may result. The dressings
are removed at the end of seven or ten
days. The part Is washed then treat
ed as before.

Real water butterflies spread their
lovely wings in the clear wavelets OF
tho blue Mediterranean. Their scien-
!itic name is pteropoda, or wing footed.
The commOncSt is perhaps the boat
butterfly" His body seems formed
round a tiny brown kernel, the size of
a grain of wheat, and is covered with
shell soft as gristle and almost trans
parent. His wings are large, round
and clear as glass-so clear that before
they can be examined they must be
put in a saucer of water against
black ground. The she'll is so loose
that mere touch separates it from
the body. All the sea butterflies have
on their tongues rows of strong pointed
hooks They are all flesh eaters. 1t is
wonderful to watch through the trans
parent shell and almost equally trans
parent body the motions of the heart
These butterflies lay eggs, just like
the land ones, and, like the land ones,
are fond Of warmth and light
