WILL BE BUILT
THIS SUMMER

1t has been learned from an author.
itative source that the plans and
specifications for the State highway
on the south side have heen completed
and that there is no doubt that the
road will be reconstructed this sum
mer
The State highway will extend from
the bridge along the Sunbury road to
Kipp's run. The survey last SUNNI r
was carried mile or so farther than
Kipp's run but it appears that the
road petitioned for terminates at that
point. Unless unforeseen delay in be-
ginning the highway should occur
there is no question but that the work
will be completed before next winter.
1t is now up to the residents of Rush
township to petition for State high.
way to connect with the one to be
built in Gearhart township Logically
the highway should be extended to.
ward Sunbury. The survey made be-
low Kipp's run has shown that the
proposition at that point is not an easy
one owing to the mountain ridge that
skirts the river.
The citizens of Rush township now
have an admirable opportunity to Sc
cure State highway taking in the
entire width Of the township and ex-
tending due south from Kipp's run to
Snydertown. This route leads through
the most populous part of Rush town
ship. and while it would practically
connect the two county seats of Dan
Vile and Sunbury it would at the
same time open the way to Shamokin
and Shamokin Valley.
A very finely constructed road con
meets Snydertown with Sunbury as
we'll as with the State highway al
ready constructed to Paxinos.
If the citizens OF Rush township an
preoiate their opportunity at all
only year or so will elapse un-
til we have a chain of State highways
extending practically all the way from
Mausdale to SunhuIy and Shamokfn.

CAN TALK
LIKE A PARROT

A talking crow, owned by Miss Ruth
Heath, is source of much amusement
to residents in the vicinity of Pine
and Walnut streets, this city. The
crow is fine specimen of the corvus
Americans. and was presented to Miss
Heath by friend some months ago
In color the crow is beautiful
glossy black with very bright aud
intelligent eye. He had not been in
the possession of the new owner very
along when he surprised her by show
ing that he could talk like parrot.
In point of fact it would be a very
accomplished parrot that could sur
pass the crow, either in extent of VOC
abulary or the distinctness with which
the words are articulsted.
Jim. as the crow is called, is al
ready much attached to his new home,
and, althou9h he is piven the freedom
Of the place, he does not wander very
far away unless accompanied by Miss
Heath, when he may be seen perched
upon her shoulder.
The crow can bark like dog He
can also lsugh-a jolly rollicking
laugh, which one can not help but as
sociate with real mirth Many of the
expressions he makes, more or less in
appropriate. are lsughable in the ex-
treme. He is fond OF calling for his
papa. The other day he was especi-
ally noisy and he was told to "hush
up" a moment later neighbor from
the rear yard adjoining attempted to
converse with the family when Jim
repeated the words he had heard and
told her to hush up This was an
instance, which frequently occurs,
when the crows outbursts prove
startling to persons who:do not know
of the birds existence or have forgot
ten all about him.

ASSOCIATES
HOLD COURT

Z A short session of court with Asso-
ciste judges L. w. Welliver and +.
G. Blee on the bench was held in the
grand jury room yesterday morning
to take action on the release of Annie
Bloomer and Bessie Kennedy, who
have served six months in the county
Jail for larceny.
In the case of each petition was
presented by the county commission
ers. representing that the girls have
served the term of imprisonment i'm
posed but have not paid the costs OF
prosecution amounting to sl9.45 nor
the fine OF SlOO; neither have they
made restitution. In the opinion of
the county commissioners the girls
were unable to pay or make restitution
they therefore prayed that the prison
ers be discharged on such terms as the
court might impose as provided for by
the act of June 13. 1888.
The girls, in reply to some questions
affirmed that the facts as above set
forth were true. The associate judges
then affixed their signatures to the
petition ordering that the girls be dis
charged
Before they were permitted to go
Judge Welliver gave the girls some
good advice defining the attitude of
the court in their cases He referred
to Bible presented to the county Jail
some years ago, which, he said, he
hoped they had read. He referred to
couple of passages applicable to their
case, one being, Honor Thy Father
and Thy Mother" and the other. "Set
Thy House in Order for thou Shalt
not Live. " He urged the girls to be
good in the future and was emphatic
in the threat that, if they were not
circumspeot-that il they were disor-
derly CT were found drinking. not on
ly would the persons who furnished
them liquor be arraigued. but also
they themselves would be arrested.

they presented altogether being in

ed that their sad experince may prove
the turning point of their career.

ALL AROUND THE
HOUSE

To wash your hands, add a little
sugar to the soap and the full lather
resulting will obliterate dirt in jiffy.
Turpentine applied to ivory handles
that have turned yellow will restore
their color
Small pieces of felt, the exact size of
the tips of the legs of the chairs, fast
ened on with strong glue, will prevent
scratching of hardwood floors.
Wooden pals, when not in use, will
not shrink if they are painted with
glycerine.
If your husband comes home late
for dinner and you wish to keep his
meat hot for him, place the platter, on
which is the meat over pan of boil
ing water at the back of the range;
cover the whole with a cloth. The
meat will not dry, and will retain its
heat.
Cold water and soap will make your
kitchen floor white: hot water will
turn the boards yellow.
In the general spring cleaning the
mattress should not be overlooked.
To clean it, take a paint brush and
paint the soiled parts of the mattress
with thin mixture of starch prepared
as for cold starching; after it is thor
oughly dry brush it off, and repeat the
operation if necessary.

knows her business thoroughly. In
washing them great pains should be
taken. In the first place, do. not use
your handkerchiefs so long that they
become unduly soiled. When half
dozen or so are in need of washing
put them to soak in an earthen bowl
of cool water and suds from fine
quality of soap. After a half-hour
rinse them in more cold water. Then
wash them gently in hot water into
which a spoonful of borax has been
dropped.
Care must be used in rubbing them
for the thin threads of the fine mate
rial are easily broken. Next, rinse
them thoroughly in several changes
of cold water until every vestige OF
soap has disappeared. Finally, place
them in a bowl of milk to which has
been added several drops of essence
of violet. This gives them a pure
white color. Then dry them with a
clean towel and iron Immediately
without adding any starch, as the milk
will make them stiff enough The
iron should be a small one, scrupu-
lously clean and carefully heated, and
the ironing board should be covered
first with heavy flannel and then with
a clean piece of white cloth.
