DATE OF cRUCiFIxIoN.
It Is Fixed on April 18, 29 A. D., by
 Portland Astronomer.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
 Prof. L.. H. Weston, of Portland, Ore, makes very interesting calculation, fix ing the date of the crucif1xion of Christ on April IS, at noon, in the 74th Julian year, computing the position of the sun and moon.
 According to Prof. Weston the full moon occurred at TAI, Jerusalem mean time, on April +, "A Julian This was a Julian Sunday, and was the 18th day of the moon by the Jewish calendar It was a rule of law among the Jews that the day began at sunset; hence the call endar of Callippus invariably called that day following the sunset immediately after full moon and Sunday (sun's day). Thus the full moon occurred at TAI in the morning of April r, Julian year, and that in the calendar of Callippus was the 18th day of the moon, or the one before the 14th, and was Jewish holiday.
 The passover was always celebrated on the 14th day of the moon next following the solar ingress into the first degree of Aries, the vernal equinox, and it must always, by. law, be celebrated on the 14th day of the moon, as shown on the calendar calculated by the priesthood.
 In the Julian year "A the sun entered
 
 22, which was a Tuesday. The new moon following was at 19 minutes after i p. m., April 2, Saturday. Full moon, then fall ing on the 17th at 19 minutes to a. m., shows Tertullian, the Latin historian, to be correct In affirming that the Passover feast was on the 18th of the calends of April.
 Again, says Professor Weston, modern ecclesiastical authorities on chronology find 1t impossible to assume that Christ was born later than B. C.. and Tertullian clearly states the nativity occurred in the fist year of the Augustan monarchy and the 18th after the death of Cleopatra, thus in the 750th year of Rome, or B. C., Christ was more than 32 years of age, for His ministry began the third year before the crucifixion. He was 33 years old in 29 A. D.
 Irenaeus says the crucifixion was at the end of Daniels 10 weeks of prophecy This ends about the commencement of the 18th year of Tiberius and the second year of the 202d Olympiad. More exactly, the 18th year of the reign of Tiberlus began on August 19, "A Julian, and the first year of the 102d Olympiad ended on July iers 70 weeks. But the crucifxion was at the Passover, three months before the end of the Olympiad. Irenaeus used round numbers, and the fractional year is one fourth minus. Accordingly, says Professor Weston, 1t would seem impossible to set any other date for the cruci1xion of Jesus Christ than Monday April IS. Julian year "A, at noon Sixth hour) Jerusalem.

The reunion of the Confederate Veterans of Jefferson county was held today at Tuxedo Springs. The affair was an un- qualified success in every particular, and was given under the auspices of Camp Pat Cleberne of Ensley. The park was crowded with the old vets from all parts of the county with their wives and fami- lies The Daughters of the Confectionery and Sons of Veterans were well repre- sented as were the friends of the various organizations.
 AS Is usual on occasions of this kind, candidates galore were on hand with their ever pleasant smile and glad hand" telling the folks how they had been urged to make the race, and asking to be remembered on the day of election.
 It Is estimated fully 400 people attended the reunion. A fine dinner was spread including barbecued meats, and was much enjoyed by the crowd
 While no set programme had been ar ranged, number of speeches appropriate to the occasion were made. Among those speaking were Gen. J. w. Bush, Judge s. l.. Weaver, Felix Mclaughlin and others.
 Col. R. M. Huey presided over the cere- monies with much grace and ease, and introduced the speakers. A pleasing feat ure was the singing of old-tme war songs Maud Scott The day passed off without an unpleasant incident and much credit is due the veterans of Camp Pat Cleberne for the splendid manner in which they en- tertained their comrades and friends.

III view Of the fact that several cities

Fisher eompany's tannery, which was
burned out recently at Bethel, the voters
81 that village have done wisely IN voting
to exempt the plant from taxation fer
a period Of ten years 81 an inducenent

of exempting property from taxation is

Here is D little incident that should
be recorded. When the body of George
Kormos was dug out from under the
ave.in at che West pawlet slate quarry
his shovel was still IN his hand. Not all
the heroes die on the field Of battle The
men who work under ground in coal
mines and quarries are just as brave al
those who face death at the cannon 5
mouth. kofmos was an uncrowned
hero.a
BY the same token a street worker
who doesn't get out Of the way Of an
automobile because he can't, Che farmer
who gets gored By bull because he isn't
spry enough 70 vault fence, the man
who deliberately walks onto railroad
track in the course OF his business and
unsueeessfully bucks loeomotiye---they
one and all are heroes in the contention
Of the Yergennes contemporary n the
plain facts should be known, It would
probably be found that Kormos would
have dropped his shovel and run ike q
eomanehe If he had had a warning the
bank was TO cave in. Not having had
the warning, he was caught BY the slide
and with his shovel still IN his hand.
That's the way they found him. There
fore, while not DESTROYS Of taking from
the poor fellow any credit that may
really have been his due. we are inclined
to think that the word hero Is being
cheapened and twisted out Of al sem.
blance TO its real meaning.

Negotiations for Property.

The D. L. & w. railroad is
negotiating with Charles Boust, of
Northumberland for the purchase
of the opera house and the Palmer
House at that place. Their alleged
intention is the construction of a
new station on the property. At
present the railroad uses the same
station with the Pennsylvania, but
it is claimed that the latter road
will move its station further up the
line when the proposed changes are
under way.
Negotiations have been carried
on between the land owners above
Northumberland and representa-
tive of the company from the Office
of General Manager Myers. Mr..
Mertz, who wishes to know defn-
itely what the company proposed
10 do, in order that he might dis

bon bisu'phide. Fill the hole with
earth and cover it with a wet cloth
or blanket to keep down the fumes,
and the ants will be destroyed at
once. This is the best possible
method fo- destroying ants of any
kind. After the nest is found, aud
the queen destroyed in the manner
stated, the colony Is broken up.
Ants in the household are best
treated by following their path to
the place where they live and pour
ing in the carbon bisulphide. If it
be at the side of a wall, or else
where where they can not surely
be located, one can destroy them
by pouring a considerable quantity
of gasoline, or benzine, into the
hole made by the side Of the wall.
Ants, as seen going up and
down trees, are not themselves the
cause of injury to the trees or
plants, hut are visiting Plant Lice,
or Scale Insects, or sometimes plant
glands, for the purpose Of obtain
ing the sweet liquid, called honey
dew, which is secreted by them.
Thus the ant is generally an indi-
cation of serious pests on the trees,
although itself doing no injury.
1t is, therefore, not necessary to
treat the trees fer ants, but to treat
them for pests which the ants Wis.,
1t. This means spraying with a
cortact insecticide, of the proper
strength, at the right season, ac-
cording to what the pest may be.
Black ants sometimes make
nests or mounds in which vegeta-
ton does not grow, and thus be-
come Objectionable. The method
described above destroys them in
their nests, but where they are in
the decaying wood they should not
be regarded as serious enemies of
mankind, nor dcstroyets of proper
ty, and they do not deserve de-
struction."
