How to Save Trout.

Trout season opens next We'd
nesday. There will be in the ag-
gregate, hundreds Of small fish re
turned to the stream. tits known
that many of these fish die aft
erwards, not from the hurt Of the
hook, but on account of a fungus
growth that looks like mold.
Careful investigation on the part
Of fish hatcheries shows that this
disease starts from the contact
of the warm hand that held the
fish while it was being taken off
the hook. However, if the hand
be wet by first dipping itinto the
stream, there will be no injuri-
Gus effect. In this way all per-
spiration and natural heat of the
hand is temporarily removed,
and many fish will be saved to
again take your hook after they
have grown larger.

The Auto Bucked.

What might have been serious
accident happened to DR.. H. c.
McClain, of Hustontown, and his
father-in-law, VIM. Laidig, while
driving driving in the Doctors
machine, last Sunday.
1t seems that the gentlemen
were in a little of a hurry"
while coming down the Stateroad,
not far from Hustontown, and
that the machine skidded in a
mudhole, running its nose into
the bank at the side of the road
and overturned-all in less time
than you could say Jack Robin
son." The damage to the ma
chine consisted of a ruined top.
The damage to tn e occupants
amounted to a badly bruised knee
on the part of the Doctor, and a
bad scare on Mr.. Laidig's part.
1t was agreed by the two gen.
tlemen that the machine be smug-
gled home and that an unfeeling
public be kept in blissful igno-
rance of the mishap; but a few
scratches on Mr.. Laidig's face in
addition to a copious plaster of
mud, and a sad mixture of butter,
gasoline, and oil in the Doctors
package, aroused suspicion and
the "cat was let out of the bag"
If we haven't gotten the story
straight, blame the Doctor.

NEEDLESS NOISES.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, NJ. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner of Health.

All city dwellers suffer from
the harsh, unnecessary noises
which have grown to be the in
evitable accompaniment of lifein
a metropolis.
The noises of nature are sell
dom discordant. The whisper of
the wind through the trees or the
swish Of the waves on the shore,
the chirping Of insects or the
songs of the birds are all har-
monious. Contrasted with these
the roaring of trains, the clang-
ing of the trolley, the rattle of
vehicles over the stone pavement
the honk of automobiles, are vio-
lently discordant.
We accustom ourselves to these
sounds to a great degree. We
learn to work amid the clatter of
machines and the babble of vol
ces through concentration of
mind. Despite this acquired a.
bility however, the continued eff
feet of discordant sounds upon
the nervous system is injurious.
Let even a trifling illness oc-
cur and these discords become
almost unbearable. 1t is impos-
sible to carry on the activities of
a great city without some accom-
panying noises but a large por-
ton of these which we exhaust
our nerve force in resisting, are
unnecessary.
In one of the large cities of
this country Society for the
Suppression of Needless Noises"
has accomplished much genuine
good in securing a quiet zone. a.
bout hospitals and schools andin
reducing the shrieking of whis-
ties, etc.
In conducting our daily busi-
ness an effort toward the elimi-
nation of unnecessary noise would
in many instances undoubtedly
be repaid by the additional con-
centration and efficiency of en-
ployees.

DR.. Davis Had Stroke.

We are sorry to have to chron-
icle the news that our good friend
Doctor A. X. Davis, of Huston
town, suffered a stroke of paral-
ysis last Saturday evening. The
Doctor had just returned from
attending lodge at Fort Littleton
and was in the act Of mixing a
dose of medicine for g member of
the household, when he was sud-
denly stricken.
His right side was completely
paralyzed, and, for a day or two,
was unable to speak. On Tues
day he was well wrapped up in
blankets and placed in an auto
mobile and taken by DR.. McClain
to the railroad, thence to the
Medico Chi. Hospital in Philadel-
phia. The Doctor retained his
characteristic cheerful spirits dur
ing a short stop in town Tuesday,
and we hope the effects of the
stroke will be of short duration.

Silver Wedding.

About a half a hundred people
were delightfully."- entertained last
Friday evening in the beautiful
home of eX-CountyTreasurer and
Mrs. Charles B. Stevens on Wa

happy gathering was the celebra-

wedding, which occurred at the
brides parents, the late Mr.. and

five years ago. The hand of time
has rested very gently on this ex
cellent couple: and, if physical
appearance goes for anything,
they will make third base (the

LIZARD STORY A FAKE.
DR.. Surface Does Not Believe They
Could Live in the Human
Stomach.

Nearly every community has
some person who really believes
that on a certain occasion when
out for huckleberries, in lying
down and drinking from a noun
tain spring or rivulet, a lizard
was swallowed, and that said liz
ard continued to live and pros
per in its new habitation, much
to the physical discomfort of the
owner Of the stomach.
For years the Division ofE-cn-
omic Zoology of the State De-
partment of Agriculture has been
endeavoring to find a single au-
thentic case of human being
having a live lizard or similar
reptile in his or her stomach, but
it has invariably found such sto-
ries to be mythical, just like sto-
ries about hoop snakes" Econ
omic Zoologist Surface has re-
Gently run down another story of
this kind.
An article widely printed in
newspapers told of a Mrs. Will
liam Armon, of Pittsfeld, Wis,
vomiting a live lizard, seven in
ches long, when given an emetic.
Professor Surface communicated
with DR.. J. Ashman, r. F. D.
No. 2, Waupaca, Wis.,, who re-
piled that he had given the eme-
tic, but was not present when it
took effect. Mr.. and Mrs. Ar
mon and their daughter averred
that an object elected appeared
to be a lizard about seven inches
long. 1t was not alive" DR..
Ashman found fault with them
for not keeping it, but they said
1T was so utterly repulsive and
disgusting that they threw it in
to the fire" "
In acknowledging DR.. Ash
mans courtesy, Professor Sur
face says:
Il note with interest that you
yourself did not see the object,
and | note your scientific and
wise caution in not stating for
certain that it was a lizard.
think that upon careful cxamina-
tion it would have proved to be a
membrane of some foreign OBJ
ject that never had life, as | do
not believe that lizards or any
thing else of the kind can live in
the human stomach.
"A few years ago | read of
such a report in this State and
wrote to the physician whose
name was given, and he sent to
me for examination the object
that was vomited and supposed
to be a lizard. 1t was nothing
more than a membrane, such as
might correspond to the covering
or scab of an internal sore. 1t
had no organic structure what
ever"

For this means spring-time; and

of the dawning year, and Nature
awakes at their touch-men, an

work of Thy Creator finished,

am in hearty accord with Sir
Humphrey Davy when he says,
"How delightful it is in early
spring, after the dull and tedious
time of winter, when the frost
disappears, and the sunshine
warns the earth and waters, to
wander forth by some clear
stream, to see the leaf bursting
from the purple bud, to scent the
odors of the bank perfumed with
the violet, and enameled, as it
were, with the primrose and the
daisy" Some will appreciate
this more than others, to be sure,
but few will be found to discount
it altogether. And, as | think of

be some among you all who will,
this year, more or less earnestly
