PLANT AND
NAME TREES

Arbor day Friday was observed in
this city AZ never before in the towns
history. The program was fully oarri-
ed out and every feature was rendered
in a manner that could not help but
please.
The march from the first ward school
buildiDg-where all the pupils OF the
borough assembled-to the park on
Bloom street. was feature that made
a deep impression.
The pupils as they jauntily tripped
along two abreast, carrying and wav-
ing flags we're probably seen to the
best advantage on Mill street, where
they marched along the trolley track.
By actual count there were 100 pupils
in line.
The column was so arranged that
the smallest pupils, taking in all the
schools, came first. Pupils next in size
followed, the marchers growing larg
er successively until the high school
pupils were reached. When the small
children turned the corner at the First
National bank the rear end of the pro-
cession had not left the high school
Music for the march was furnished
by the Washington drum corps. I'M
mediately at the head of the drum
corps were Officers Mincemoyer and
Voris, while following were members
of the school board with Attendance
Officer Young and members of the
borough council with Secretary Pat
ton, Street Commissioner Miller. Su-
perintendent of Sewers p. j. Keefer
and Harry Ellenbogen, borough trea-
surer.
Arriving at the park the entire As.
semblage gathered around an impro-
vised platform on the monument site,
where the program previously printed
was rendered.
The several selections including
America, " Hail, Arbor Day" and
Arbor Days Sweet Benediction,
were sung by the children with most
inspiring effect. Mr.. Bickel, princip'
al of the high school, read State Super
intendeut Schaeffer's letter and Ralpl
Kisuer, Esq, followed with an al
dress.
Mr.. KisneI's address was brief, but
it was most appropriate. 1t aboundeo
| in thoughts associated with tree plant
/ 10 nd o. ~
such as to make an impression evel
on the minds of the very youpges
pupils.
In conclusion each of the schools
formed a separate group and, employ
ing a simple ceremony, proceeded t'
plaut and name its tree.
The high school named its tree foi
Thomas Beaver
The fIs. ward school bestowed tht
name of Daniel Montgomery on it
tree.
The second ward schools selected
he name of William Penn for its tree
The third ward school chose the
name OF Amos Wickersham, who orig.
inally presented the ground occupied
by the cemetery. now the park.
The fourth ward named its tree thu
Rogers Clark elm. 1t came from Soutl
Lakota and was presented by de
Scendant OF the great explorer.
The school board planted a tree
which it named for Daniel Webster.
The borough council also planted
tree, which will be known as the Coun
Gil Memorial tree of 1905

FIFTEEN YEARS OF ECZEMA.

Terrible Itching Prevented Sleep
Hands, Arms and Legs Affected
Cuticura Cured in 6 Days.
Il had eczema nearly fifteen years.
The affected parts were my hands,
arms and legs. They were the worst In
the winter time, and were always
itchy, and 1 could not keep from
scratching them. I had to keep both
hands bandaged all the time, and at
night I would have to scratch through
the bandages as the itching was so Sc
we're. and at times I would have to tear
everything off my hands to scratch the
skin. I could not rest or sleep. had
several physicians treat me but they
could not give me a permanent cure nor
even could they stop the itching. Al
ter using the Cuticura Soap, one box or
Cuticura Ointment and two bottles or
Cuticura Resolvent for about six days
the itching had ceased, and now the
sores have disappeared, and / never
felt better in my life than | do now.

The Gentle Rebuff.

Robert w. Hebberd, New Yorks com
missioner of charities, concluded an ad-
dress at recent philanthropic. dinner, III
this way:
eyes, Unreasonable are the rebutts
that the helpers of the poor, the seekers
after charity for their suffering broth
ers, undergo.
IA friend of mine, Methodist minis
ter in a small western town, told me the
other day of his last rebuff, not unkind
one.
Entering the office of the local week
ly, the minister said to the editor:
81 am soliciting aid for gentleman
of refinement and intelligence who is IN
dire need of a little ready money, but
who is far too proud a man to make his
sufferings known.
"'Why,' exclaimed the editor pushing
up his eyeshade, I'm the only chap. in
the village who answers that description
What's this gentlemans name?

am not at liberty to disclose it,
"'Why, it must be me- said the editor

ICELESS ICEBOXES.
Running a Refrigerator or Cold Storage
Plant by Electric Motor.

Horseless wagons, smokeless powder,
noseless guns and iceless iceboxes! The
last item is described in Popular Mechan-
les. 1t consists of an electric motor
belted to a pump which keeps cooling
solution moving through set OF pipes
which are placed in the refrigerator.
These pipes are similar to the steam or
hot water radiators in the living rooms,
only they cool instead of heat the apart
ment
The machine is entirely automatic, and
constantly maintains whatever degree OF
cold is selected. The moment the Their
mometer rises above that point the ma
chine starts up of itself and works until
the apartment is sufficiently cooled; then
it stops of itself
The whole affair is so simple as to re-
quire practically no attention, except an
occasional Oiling, which is no more diff
cult than to oil a sewing machine AT
trifing expense one can also Tx up a
basement room as a cold storage for
large supplies, such as barrels of apples,
Jars of butter, sacks of potatoes, etc,
which it is now impossible to keep in the
average residence.
In many families the saving effected
by purchasing supplies in quantities in
stead of from day to day would be
| enough to pay the entire cost of Operat-
| ing the cold storage system; if not, the
| amount formerly spent for ice certainly
would.

success and creditable standing Accor~
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs

known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleansess
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and

Much trouble has been experienced
with lightning on the power transmits
sion lines, carried on steel towers, IN
the states of Michoacan and Guanajuato,
Mexico, but recently the difficulty has
been largely overcome by the use OF
lightning rods and the device OF sus-
pending a steel cable above the trans
mission lines, the cable being brought to
earth at each tower Before these
means of diverting the lightning were
employed, the insulators were often
bored with holes an inch in diameter
by bolts of lightning. The shielding
cable is regarded as affording much
more protection than the lightning rods.
In Poleozoic times, then, writes Prof.
| Lowell in the Century, it was with the
earth itself, not the sun, to which plant
and animal primarily stood beholden
| for existence. This gives us most in
structive glimpse into one planetologlc
process. To the planets own internal
heat is due the chief fostering Of the
beginnings of life upon its surface.
Thus a planet is capable of at least be-
ginning to develop organisms without
more than q mOdicum of help from the
central sun. We talk OF the sun as the
source of life: and so it is to-day in
the sense of being its sustainer; but the
real source was the earth itself, which
also raised it through its babyhood.
Studies by Miss NJ. c. Slopes of the
fossil flora of Scotland have shown that
the gingko, or maidenhair, tree, ma
tive of Japan and China, which is cul
tivated in Europe and this country or
account of its remarkable foliage, be-
longs to an extremely ancient family
of which it is now, apparently, the last
surviving representative. At one time
it seems to have been widely spread. A
singular fact is that The fossil speci
mems of the gingko, found in the rocf
beds of the Inferior Oolite series, a
Brora, Scotland, are so similar to The
living trees that at first sight no differ
ence is apparent. Only an examination
of the structure of the cells reveals ;
variation.
