Mccall Ferry, Pa, has been prac
tically cleared OF all obstruction by
the recent decision of the Circuit
Court, in Elkton, in the suit of the
Susquehanna Power Co. VS.. the
proprietors of the Susquehanna
Canal and Conowingo Land Co
When the Susquehanna Power Co
completed arrangements to harness
the waters of the Susquehanna
River for electrical purposes, it
had several parcels of land owned
by the Susquehanna Canal and the
Conowingo Land Co., for which
the jury allowed $1OS, 1891. The
owners of the property sought to
have the court set the awards
aside, but have failed. The
dam to be erected by the Susque
hanna Power Co. will cost in the
neighborhood of $IO,0OO,O00. II
will be 40 feet above tidewater and
will furnish about 10000 horse
power.

Mexican Musiciann.

We were listening to the playing of a
military band the other night when my
friend said: do you know that, al
though l have heard just about all of
the best orchestras and bands In this
country at different times, have not
discovered a single one that can hold
a candle to Mexican musicians? Those
fellows are something wonderful, all
full Of music. and. although half OF
them cannot read the language of their
country, they read the music and get
notes from their instruments that
would really astonish Columbus
Dispatch.

INTESTINAL INDIGESTION.
It's symptoms and the Way 1t Should
Be Treated.

ITS symptoms and the way 1t should
Be Treated.
1t was formerly thought that the
stomach was the main organ of diges-
ton, and dyspepsia was supposed al
ways to have it's seat there. But this
question has been much studied of
late, with the result that the stomach
has been found to be of little account
comparatively in the preparation of the
food for absorption. The most impor-
tant part of digestion occurs in the up
food, after leaving the stomach, is
churned and mixed thoroughly with
the bile and pancreatic secretion.
Since, then, the intestine takes such
an important part in digestion, it is
natural to suppose that failure to
perform this function properly would
give rise to serious disturbances Of
health, and such, in fact, is the case.
Intestinal indigestion is not uncom-
mon affection at all periods of life
and is especially prevalent in children.
The chief symptoms are fiatulence, or
wind. more or less collie, diarrhea. or
more often constipation. or an alterna-
ton CT the two and practical starva-
ton, as shown in weakness and enact
alton.
The treatment is mainly through diet,
but this will vary, Of course, according
to age. In an infant the problem is a
difficult one. If the child is fed arti-
fcially all prepared foods containing
starch should be taken away, and
cows milk, modified as to the amount
of fat. sugar or casein it contains, ac
cording to the physicians directions.
should be substituted.
If the infant is nursing the life Of the
mother should be studied, for the state
Of her health may affect the milk in
juriously.
In older children and adults the
amount of fats and of starchy foods
must be carefully regulated. Cereals,
pastry, rice, potatoes and bread must
be cut out Of the dietary for time or
taken in very small quantity. When
eaten at all they should be most thor
oughly, even excessively, chewed, for
in this way they may be In great meas
ure digested by the saliva before reach
ing the intestine.
The diet should consist mainly of
milk, white of eggs and the most di-
gestible meats and fish. The diarrhea
or constipation should be regulated,
and sometimes the administration Of
intestinal antiseptics is beneficial. Reg
lar exercise in the open air is of great
'alue in the treatment The cold bath
or shower bath is often of service
when it is followed by healthy reac-

A Picture In Wood.

There are various glimpses of Wits.
tier in the "reminiscences of the lat,
Sir Wyke Bayliss, whilom president of
the Society of British Artists. Here is
an incident of changing day" while
Whistler occupied the presidency:
A carpenter held in his hand piece
of wood, with which he was about to
steady heavy frame. 1t was bat
ten of yellow deal, with large knot
of lovely color, pitch brown and gold
running the whole length of the board
Selling the board, made the carpenter
saw out of it fragment to fit frame
which stood on the mantelpiece. At "a
little distance the thing assumed the
appearance of golden sunset seen
across an open country, with little
hill or clump of trees against the lumi
nous sky. The graduation of color was
beautiful beyond description. At that
moment the president entered. We
pointed across the gallery to the new
harmony in gold and brown" and con.
graduated him on its loneliness. Mr.
Whistler, hastily putting his eyeglass
to his eye, exclaimed: "Eh, eh! What's
that? Who lent that?' He was as
much delighted as we were.

This story is well in keeping with

about his little boy. The neighbor's
young hopeful was very i'll. and Willie
and the other youngsters in the block
had been asked not to make any noise
in the streets. The neighbor's bell
rang one day and she opened 1t to find
Willie standing bashfully on her front
steps.
"How is he to.day?" he inquired In

what thoughtful child you are to

Willie stood moment on one foot
and then burst forth again, I'm orful

The mother was profoundly touched.

say. but simply kissed him. Made still
bolder by the caress. Willie began to

FOR SELFISH ENDS.
The Efforts Being Made by the Ameri-

The Political activity of the Amerl.
can Medical Association has become
SO pronounced as to cause comment
in political circles especially as the
the avowed purpose of the Doctors OF
the Regular" or Allopathic school. of
which the Association is chiefly COM
posed, is to secure the passage of such
laws as will not only prevent the
sale of socalled Patent" medicines,
but will restrict the practice of medi-
cine and healing to the schools" now
recognized. This in many states would
prevent the growing practice OF Os-
teopathy. and in nearly every state
would prevent the healers Of the
Christian Science and mental science
belief from practicing those sciences
in which the faith of SO many intelll.
gent people is SO firmly rooted.

WHERE THE MERCHANT FAILS.
An Iowa Farmer Tells Him He Should
Advertise, and How.

An Iowa farmer contributes to the
Des Moines Capitol the following very
pertinent suggestion as to why the
mail order houses succeed In getting
the business Of the rural communities
away from local merchants:
''If the mail order houses got $1,000
out Of this county each month that be.
longs to the home merchants the fault
is with the merchants themselves. The
mail order houses advertise and give
US prices on everything they offer for
sale. They tell us what they have
and what they want for 1t. OF course
we get soaked once in awhile and II
We do we can try some other house.
Most of the home merchants who ad.
vertise at all don't quote prices. They
neglect to tell us what we want to
know-the price. OF course we can go
to the store and ask the price Of this
article. and that, but you know how
1t is-one doesn't know so well exact.
ly what he wants to buy when he gets
In store as when he is at home. And
there is where the mail order houses
make their hit. They send us their
advertising matter into homes and we
read 1t when we haven't anything else
to do and every member OF the family
who reads their stun usually finds
something that he or some other men,
ber of the family wants and many or.
ders are made up and sent out Just at
such times.
Right here is where the home mer.
chant falls down. II he talked up his
business to us In our homes the same
would be In to see him the next time
they came to town and In many cases
extra trips would be made to get the
things at once that we didn't know
we wanted until they were brought
to our attention.
expense Of getting up catalogue. We
people read the home papers more
carefully than we do tho catalogue.
and II the merchant wants to talk
business with us let him put his talk
In the home papers, and put 1t In SO
that we know he means business. The
home merchant likely. nine times out
OF ten. sells his goods as cheap as the
mail order houses, and | believe on
many things they are much cheaper.
but how are we to know II he doesn't
tell us about 1t.
"A merhant must not think that
even his best customers know his
goods SO well that they can tell what
he has without being shown.
1T is none Of my business how the
home merchant runs his business. but
I don't like to see these roasts in the
papers all the time about us fellows
who get little stun shipped In once

the other side. There are always two

STORING SEED POTATOES.
How the Tubers May Be Kept In
Splendid Condition.

II potatoes intended for seed are
placed In pits and properly covered.
they will come out In the spring with
out a sprout; they will also be as
firm as when placed In the pits. This
condition certainly indicates that no
vitality has been lost.
Every sprout that starts on a po-
tato and is broken on removes Just
SO much vitality from the seed.
find that It is necessary to dig the
pit more than six or eight inches deep.
That is Just deep enough to get n
good. solid bottom. so that the pota-
toes can be shoveled up easily with
a potato scoop. Fifty to 100 bushels
may be put into one pit safely.
When the pit is full cover with
about eight inches of straw. then put
on eight inches Of dirt. The third lay.
er should be another layer OF straw
and then another layer OF dirt. II
the temperature falls below zero for
n length OF time. cover the pit with
stable manure. BY following this
method. says n correspondent OF Prai.
rie Farmer. never have any potatoes
that spoil or have been injured In
any way.
