PARsoN LOOKED, BUT IN VAIN
His Heart Greved Over Fashionable
FolIies Of His Wife.

A typical parson OF long ago, the
sternly consistent man who sounded
cOnsCiences regardless OF conse-
quenCes, figures in recent book OF
"reminiscences, "Old Schuylkill Tales -
by Mrs. Ella Herbey Elliott.
ParsCN NJ, one of the early minis
ters Of Pottsville, Pa, was never more
earnestly eloquent than when preach.
Ing against the love OF dress. His
wife, Mrs NJ, who was a handsome
woman, nevertheless wore very elabo-
rate gowns, and openly avowed her in
tercst In such frivolities. The parson
eNpostulated against this love of dress
In private, but although she was an
excellent wife, and obedient to his
wishes ia other respects, she pursued
her own way, in silk and lace
one Sunday morning the minister
preached sermon on humility, and
bore down upon the yanities OF dress
most powerfully. At the conclusion
he leaned over the high board OF the
pulpit, his face pale and determined.

congregation, when | preach against

Cold Bedrooms Make Rosy Cheeks.

A beauty doctor, pausing to change
the roller in an electrical massage ma.
chine, said with sigh:
1T is true, madam. that my art
brings to your cheek transient flush
and bloom, but | can do nothing for
you, really. till you stop sleeping IN
an overheatcd bedroom. Won't you
change to a cold room?
"The secret of the English complex.
ion Is not the moist climate. We have
districts as moist as a wet sponge
and In them our women go about with
faces like old leather No, the Eng,
lish secret Is the cold bedroom. In
England, with the open fires, heated
bedroom is unknown.
There they sleep all night, under
heavy blankets. with open windows
the body warm, the head cool, the
lungs inhaling the pure, cold, winter
air. AS a result, they awake In the
morning with shining eyes and cheeks
like roses"
The beauty doctor turned on the
current and began to iron out an eye
wrinkle.
80 should we awake" she said, III
we removed the radiators from our
bedrooms. And then our skins would
no longer be dry, Opaque and yellow
but clear pink like the petal Of a
rose.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.

The postmaster general has issued an
order effective January /, 1908, which
is of much interest to newspapers and
newspaper subscribers in all parts of the
country. Under the ruling limit is
placed to the time subscriber can get
in arrears of payment and continue to
be regarded as bona fide subscriber.
This time limit is three months for daily
papers and one year for weekly papers.
when this is exceeded papers can no
longer be sent to such subscribers at So
called pound rates. The only way pa
pers can continue to be sent is to have
them prepaid at regular postage rates,
which of course is out of the question
as no paper could stand the expense.
Although the new rule went into eff
feet January l reasonable time will
be given publishers to organize their
subscription lists on the advance pay
ment plan, and give subscribers who are
in arrears chance to pay up.
The notice in the PILOT regarding the
new ruling of the postmaster general
has worked like charm. During the
past month large number of our sub.
scribers have paid up, and this fact has
put the 'old man" in the PILOT Office
in good humor. But there are still a
number of subscribers who are delin-
quent and unless they pay up before the
new ruling goes into operation their
names will then be dropped from our
list. The new ruling requires that all
subscriptions to weekly papers must be
paid within one year and we are there.
fore compelled to restrict credit accord
ingly. If you are delinquent give the
matter prompt attention for the time is
drawing near, when the new ruling will
go into effect, and you are not square
on our books off goes your name from
our list. We have no other alternative.
we must comply with the law.

May Revive GIories Of Mukden.

Mukden, the chief city of central
Manchuria and the old capital of the
Chinese empire, Is a Characteristic
Tartar-Chinese city of about 100000
inhabitants. Its glory has largely de
parted. There are some reports, how
ever, that it is the intention of the
Chinese government to try to restore
something of its lost importance. 1t
is the headquarters Of a viceroy. The
temples, tombs, gateways and other
buildings, all venerable with age, at
once stamp the place as one Of the an
cent seats of Tartar civilization The
commercial Importance of Mukden lies
almost entirely In the future. There
are hardly any foreigners in the
place; probably not over eight or ten

the fact that some people are talented

is evident to anyone who has studied the
problem. One of the functions of teach,
ers and supervisors should be to discov-

The primary school must teach the
rudiments of education, or at least put
the child in possession of the tools of an
education; namely reading, writing,
spelling and ciphering, but beyond this

No Tax on Pianos.

The vigorous protests made In
France against the proposal to levy a
tax upon all owners Of pianos in that
country have had the desired result,
and for the present no further attempt
will be made to carry the suggestion
inO effect.
The plan, as the London Telegraph
recalls, was to make every posses.or
of small piano pay the equivalent
Of two dollars year, and the owners
of grand were to disburse double
that amount. It was estimated that
the revenue from the proposed tax
would enrich the Golfers of the state
to the tune OF $1,000,000 Many collec.
tions Of other instruments have been
known to produce worse tune.

HAS RESTING PLACE AT LAST.
Remarkable Vicissitudes Undergone
by Stained Glass Window

The east window at st. Margaret's,
Westminster, England, wandered
about for more than 200 years before
reaching its present position, and was
the subject of seven years lawsuit.
Henry VII. for whom it was intended,
died before the window arrived from
Dordrecht and it came into the pos
session first of the abbot Of Waltham
and then of General Monk. Stained
glass was anathema in Puritan days,
so the window was buried until the
Restoration, when 1t was brought to
light. Refused by Wadham college it
was bought Tor fifty guineas and erect
ed in private house and years later
was bought for 400 guineas by the
committee charged with the restora-
ton of st. Margaret's, and placed in
position in the church. The lawsuit to
which we have referred was brought
by the registrar to the dean and
chapter on the ground that the win.
dow contained superstitous images.
but after seven years wrangling the
church wardens proved victorious and
the beautiful window was suffered to
remain undisturbed.

Dr. John Steele Sweeney of Chicago

lief from the intense suffering that al.
ways accompanies peritonitis, the disease
that occasioned her death and which fol.
lowed severe attack of la grippe. The
dead woman was the beloved and only
daughter of Mr. and Mrs j. E. Hamil-
ton. Into her life there came more of
JOY than of sorrow. She had been train
ed with pains and patience and life to

piness, But the record of her life is
made up. 1t is brief. We will give it.

Buried at Two Rivers, Feb. 12, 1905
Its beginning and its end is in Two
Rivers where she was best known and
most loved. Into her brief life record
each can write of the JOY and the sorrow
that association and memory supply. 1t
is now only left to US to express rs best
we may our sympathy for those her
death has hereaved and to assist as tend.

CITY GETS $25O0 IN FEES.

Fees, aggregating $2439.7 rs, have been
paid into the city treasury as the annual
tax of two corporations fox 1907, the
payment being the two per cent fees re-
quired Of insurance agents on pre-.
miums collected during the year, which
for 1907 amounts to $1S14.30. and the 4
per cent fee which the Wisconsin Tele-
phone Co. pays on 50 per cent OF the
gross revenues of the local exchange, the
tax amounting to *625. AZ.
Gross revenues of the local exchange
of the Wisconsin Telephone Co. for the
year were $1S, S,395.17 according to the
report filed, which is accompanied by
affidavits and the company is required
to pay tax Of per cent on 80 per cent
of the gross, S15, 636 40, making the tax
$625. .46 for the year.
Revenues of the Wisconsin company
for the year show an increase OF ~, 0o4, :
81 over 1905 and of more than $4,000
over 1905 The company has more than
800 phones in operation in the city at
this time. Under the law the company
paws fee tax to every city where 1t
has IN exchange.
Eighteen Of twenty one insurance
agents who paid taxes last year have
reported and paid in All aggregate OF
$ls14.3O, which is $16.02 less than was
paid last year. This tax is two per
cent levy on the premiums collected
during the year and as basis shows
that 800, 90 has been paid by Mani.
towoc people for ms rance premiums
for the year. In saddil on to this S9O,-
600, however, there is large amount OF
money paid to companies which main.
tain no agency in the city and on which
the city receives no fees, it being estimat-
ed by City Treasurer Mahnke that more
than $l2T, 900 has been paid rs pre-
miums in the city.
OF the $lSl4.30 paid by insurance
agents the city will retain but one
half, 1907 IS of the amount being given
to the firemen's pension fund, which
was organized January in the city.
This is provision Of the state law and
every year the city must turn over %
per cent of the fees to the fund which
is created for pensioning the iremen
after 90 years of service. With the three
agencies to report it is probable that the
years fees will equal the amount of last
year. The agencies and the smount
