Made Revolutionary Cannon.

In Pennsylvania during the Revolu-
ton Warwick furnace was very ac-
tive in casting cannon, some of which
were buried when the British drew
nigh in 1777. The owner of Eliza
beth furnace in Lancaster county, in
payment for sundry great guns, re-
ceived German prisoners, at one time
a. and at another %, at $3.50 per head.
He had discovered that they knew bet
ter how to make guns than to use
them. Caldwell, now the Oldest char
coal furnaces in the Union, yielded
its quota of Revolutionary ordnance,
and the owner Of the Reading works,
after a few experiments, made an out
nut of one new gun every day.
No state but Pennsylvania can
clearly show four cannon-casting
establishments in our first great
struggle. Near Baltimore, however,
cannon were cast in 1880 at North
ampton, and from Ridgeley's furnace
near 1t small cannon had been or.
dered by congress in 1776.

FOURTH OF JULY AT SEA.

A long and lanky person who
Was bearded, a la goat.
Whose mental spectacles were blue.
Who'd rarely seen boat,
Was journeying in mid-Atlantic
When winds and waves were fierce and

The tempest howled; our hopes grew less,
For toward the inky sky
Our captains signal of distress
A rocket-f1ared on high.

'This amt no time for celebration!"

WOMEN SUFFERERS MAY
NEED SWAMP ROOT


Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney and bladder trouble and
never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmers' Swamp Root, physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get medium or large size bottle i'm
mediately from any drug store,
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DIR.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

fuel employed, for anthracite coal from
Wilkesbarre region was floated down
the Susquehanna and hauled in wagons
from Harris Ferry (Harrisburg) to
this point. This was the first use of
such coal, on such scale, for in
dustrial purposes" Evidene of the
large force of workmen employed is
found in meat bill, dated February {,
1881, for 80 head of beef cattle to
supply the artificers and others at
Washingtonburg, at the Continental
works near Carlisle
The contention is that this military
post was the first place in the United
States to be named for Washington
and that it's existence antedates by
years Washington, d. G.
When General Washington was in
Carlisle during the whisky rebellion
he, with Alexander Hamilton, wor-
SHIPPED in the "Old Presbyterian Meet
ing House" on the public square in
Carlisle, and it was in this Identical
meeting house, on July II, IVA, year
before the Mecklenburg declaration, a
public meeting of patriotic citizens
gathered from the town and surround
ing country, condemned the act of the
British parliament and urged vigorous
measures to correct the wrong. Col.
John Montgomery was the presiding
officer. James Wilson was present and
was appointed one of the members of
the committee to meet with other COM
mittees to take action. He was later a
member of the Continental congress, q
sgner of the Declaration and a Justice
of the Supreme court. Wings history
states, "and when in the Continental
congress he received instructions from
his constituents in Cumberland county
to advocate an entire separation from
the mother country. This was prob
ably the first utterance of that senti-
ment of the country"
Bancroft's Tribute to Wilson.
Bancroft says of Wilson: HE was an
ardent patriot, like many other emf
nent men of that day-not at firsl
avowedly in favor Of severance from
the mother country, but he desired il
when he received definite instruction
from his constituents"
Bellman, writing of the potency OF
this meeting held in the "Old Meeting
House" on July II, 1774. says: "The
influence, therefore, of the meeting, OF
of subsequent instructions 20 which II
gave rise. seems to have determined
the action of Pennsylvania in that
great crisis which men even like John
Dickinson were too timid or too cow
ardly to meet"
The vote of James Wilson, deter
mined the vote of Pennsylvania. Had
Pennsylvania failed to accept the reso-
luton we today would~be under an
other flag.
Philadelphia may be considered 1.-The
birthplace of American liberty" but
it's conception in the "Old Presbyterian
Meeting House." in Carlisle, Cumber-
land county, Pennsylvania, made II
possible to be born.
The Scotch-Irish part in the Revolu-

Bookkeeping in New Zealand.

At the late annual meeting of the
Walkato Beekeepers association at
Hamilton, an assistant director of the
horticultural division of the depart
ment of agriculture stated that there
were 1891 apiaries registered in New
