What Becomes Of the Coins2

What becomes of all the metal mon
ey? We know that paper money Is
worn out or destroyed from time to
time, but what happens to the coins
which Uncle Sam turns out yearly by
the tens and tens of millions?
The Philadelphia mint in the fiscal
year ended June 30 made 1877. 133,777
separate pieces Of money. These coins
are worth $126,755.S4S. Now, 1t hap
pens that this same mint has been con-
verting gold and silver bullion or metal
alloys into coins for many years, and
several other mlnts in the country have
also been working steadily.
If the nations population increased
1,000,000 In the past year the Phlladel-
phla mint made for. each person 1877
coins. Who has that money In his pos
session? More than S1,000,000 pieces
of the new money were pennies, so
that every citizen Of the United States
got new ce. since last June.-Phila-

Gold; May Strike Diamond

Intense excitement reigned in Sykes.
Vile Friday because OF a possible dis
covery of gold by workmen who were
engaged in drilling we'll on the pro-
perry of Daniel Wise, opposite the Hotel
Sykes.
Frank Cryster, Of Dubois, is the
driller in charge of the work, and the
sand bearing gold was struck at depth
OF about 35 feet. Mr.. Wise has another
we'll on his property, but it contains
considerable gas aud he desired to get
supply OF water that was free from
the gas. For this purpose he was very
careful in the drilling and frequently
Inspected the gravel at different depths,
so that it would not be necessary to
go down any further than necessary
for good supply of water.
AT 35 feet Mr.. Wise, according to
. statements made, secured supply
: OF the sand and gravel for the purpose
OF Inspection, and was greatly surprised
to find small yellow particles in the
sand greatly representing gold as Sc
cured in gold districts by "panning.'
Mr.. Wise has cigar oox full OF the
sand and gravel at the depth where
the yellow particles were found and the
matter of the gold discovery will be
thoroughly investigated
The report that gold was discovered
spread rapidly in the hustling burg and
was lively topic of conversation Fri
day afternoon.
Mining experts state that the earth
OF this part Of the country contains no
kold, but the discovery Of Friday will
be followed up closely.-DuBois Er.

How "Private" John Allen Got Himself
Elected to Congress.
Here is Champ Clark's defense Of
humor, If 1t needs one:
"The dry-as-dusts solemnly assev
crate that humor never did any good.
Now, let's see. How did Private John
Allen of Mississippi get to congress?
Joked himself in. One bit Of humor
sent him to Washington, a national
lawmaker. Opposing him for the con-
gressional nomination was the Confed-
crate General Tucker. They met on
the stump. General Tucker closed one
Of his speeches as follows:
Seventeen years ago tonight, my
fellow citizens, after q hard fought
battle on yonder hill, blvouacked un-
der yonder clump of trees. Those Of
you who remember as 1 do the times
that tried mems souls will not, hope
forget their humble servant when the
primaries shall be held
"That was a strong appeal In those
days, but John raised the general at
his own game. MY fellow citizens,
he said, what General Tucker says to
you about bivouacking under yonder
clump of trees is true. 1t Is also true,
my fellow citizens, that was a vedette
picket and stood guard over him while
he slept Now, then, fellow citizens,
all you who were generals and had
privates to stand over you while you
slept vote for General Tucker, and all
Of you who were prlvates and stood
guard over the generals while they
slept vote for Private John Allen
The people caught on, took John at
his word and sent him to congress,
where he stayed until the world was
filled with his renown."

Take An Interest.

Every member OF the community,
and especially every parent. should
take deep interest In the public
school. 1t is not enough to pay your
school taxes without complaining, or to
know that the teachers are qualified,
nor is it even enough to keep your
children in school regularly. II you
are really interested in the subject
as you should be, visit the school fre-
quently. Few people have any idea
ghat an incentive it is to both teachers
md scholar to know that parents and
outsiders are taking lively interest
their work. We believe the "little
Iolksn at school appreciate such interest
more perhaps than the larger ones.
YStill the effect is not lost on any of

MISLEADING NAMES.
Terms In Science That Belle the Prod
ucts to Which They Apply.

There are ,erms In certain depart
ments of scienee that positively mis-
name the products TO which they are
applied.
The word "oll' In It's more compre-
henslve and indscrimlnate uses Is
made to include hydrocarbons, like pc
troleum, and also many other sub
tances that have an oily appearance,
-ie "oil of vitriol" which Is not oil at
all, but sulphurlc acid
Strictly speaking the mineral oils,
including all petroleum products, are
not oil, although we speak Of "coal
oil" and kerosene OIL"
The best classlficatlons of oils do not
include mineral hydrocarbons, like
naphtha, paraffin and petroleum, but
treat only the two well defined groups
fixed oils and fats and the essential
or volatile oils.
"Copperas" Is not copper, but sui
phate of Iron. salt of lemon" has
nothing to do with the fruit of the
lemon tree, but is potassium blnoxalate
or potash treated with oXalic acid.
"Carbolic acid" Is not an acid, but
phenol In structure It Is allied to the
alcohols and has only slight acid prop
critics. "Soda water" has no trace Of
soda. "Sulphuric acld'' contains no
sulphur Sugar of lead" is innocent
of sugar.
"Cream Of tartar" has nothing to do
with cream nor milk of lime" with
milk. German silver" Is stranger
to silver, and "black lead" Is not lead
at all, but graphite. mosaic gold' Is
a sulphide of tin.
These misleading names have come
down from the vocabulary Of an early
and inexact chemistry. AS popular
science extends the old terms are
yielding to the more scientific nomen-
clature.

improvements consist OF an addition for
pipe organ and choir, new pulpit, hard
wood raised floor, re-frescoing, re-paint-

Sykesville Looms Up as Possible
El Dorado Rvaling the Klondike
To the Oranges and Dairy interests of
Pennsylvania.

The repeal OF the Pure Food Law
of 1895, has proved to be a serious
detriment to the dairy interests ii
Pennsylvania and also to the public
health.
The present Food Law approved June
lst, 1907, as construed by tlre courts.
is inefficient aud furnishes but little
protection to the dairy interests or to
the consuming public.
After careful consideration by the
Grange Committees 1t seems advisable
that a Dairy Commissioner be APP
pointed who shall have charge OF the
dairy interests, and who shall enforce
only special dairy legislation. By this
means we hope to avoid the compli-
cations OF a general food law embracing
both dairy and trade occupations.
The passage of the Pure Food Law Of
1907, has thrown the markets Of Penn
sylvania open to the manufacture and
sale of adulterated butter and bogus
lard. This same law has, by recent
court decision, made it impossible for
our State Dairy and Food Commissioner
to successfully prosecute dealers who
sell watered and skinned milk, as
pure.
Therefore we recommend that the
next legislature shall create the Office
OF Dairy Commissioner, who shall deal
only with dairy products, viz: butter
and butter substitutes, such as oleo-
margarine, butterine, renovated butter,
adulterated butter, milk, cream, con
densed milk, ice cream, cheese and all
products made wholly or chiefly from
milk.
We further recommend that the laws
which deal with other food products
shall be placed in the hands of the
State Health Department. We would
suggest careful ana early consider
alton of this subject by every grange
In the state, In order that the State
Grange influence may be exerted In this
important movement.
II reports OF the decisions OF the
various oranges are promptly forwarded
to Worthy State Master W. F. Hill,
Huntington, Pa, the work will be

PLAN FOR 1909 IN OCTOBER

The annual field encampment Of the
Sons OF Veterans, which was held In
Mammoth Park, Reynoldsville, August
II to "a, is now among the events that
haye been There were about the
usual number OF Sons present this year,
but on account OF Main street being
closed for contractors to pave the
street, the tally-hos and carriages
could not haul people to and from camp
and the attendance Of visitors was not
as large this year as last year. How
ever. the Sons had good time and
enjoyed the encampment. The pro-
gram for the week consisted OF drills,
target practice, camp fires, speeches,
ball games, sham battle, &c. Saturday
evening the soldier boys, headed by
the martial band, gave dress parade
through the principal streets OF town.
Punxsutawney wants the encamp-
ment next year, but the selection for
place for 1909 will not be decided
on until sometime in October.
