One pleasant 8unday, a few weeks since, a elergy man near NVw MUford stood lit his desk turning to t.. morning lesson In the prayer book. The- congregation waited to jive the resiionnes. but he did not begin ne soon n usual. Some thing curious hiul caught his eye, part ly hidden under the BlVle nick, a planting ledge, slightly rained above flu. main desk. He looked mote close- ly, and there, directly beneath the IJIbl". ho saw a robin rod-brvasfs nest, with two pretty blue eggs In It. Mrs. Bed-breast and her mate had found a hole lelt to a small, missing pane In the old-lnshloned win.h w and entered tbo acred home, to make their little home, where the sparrow nnd the swallow did, as recorded in the eighty-fourth I'salm. The pastor could not resist so pretty an Intrusion and did not dis turb the nests and. wlusi one- of the birds Hew In before the close of tho Korvlce, nothing Mas clout- to frighten it. nnd the nest icinatned. The red hreasts arc Incoming so '.ime that the gathering of the worshippers and the miihie. and noises of the service on Sunday iloes not frlshtui them awny. The sitting bird would stay, quickly blooding her eggs, while the pastor was preaching almost directly over her head. After the robblns were hatched the male bird would fly in with woniu in his bill to feed thorn, nnd his com ing never disturbed th' pastor's s-er-inon. This pleasant partnership will Inst until the full-fledged young are nblo to leave the church and trust to their own new wings. The people feel that the bird have brought n, blessing with them, and will be sorry when they go away. SOMU C-niTL'AKY LINKS.

An eminent Catholic clergyman has said that In winnowing the news nil of a doubtful nnttire should be left un published, but he cleverly ndds: "The public will applaud and read another newspaper." Surg, ons are not sure about the ver mlfonii appendix. It was undoubtedly constructed for some purpose. There Is u probability that, ages ago. the appendix was much more piomlneut than It Is in this eentuiy, and that our npelsh ancestors utilized it lit climbing tall trees. NEWS MENTION. The business men's carnival will be held In Hogan Opera hous on Wednes day nnd Thursday evening''.

It Is claimed that all of the wltnesse.-) for the prosecution, including the pros ecutor, in the recent suit of Augustus Forte vs. Michael Delpap.i, the Elmira padrone, have been discharged from the service of the Erie Bailroad com pany. AN ORIGINAL SCHEME. In Lanesboro there lives a man who is greatly troubled with chickens. This Is not a malady of any sort, but fact every day lions and roosterr that be long to an adjolnlrg neighbor, an they Insist upon taking a daily walk over this man's premises. For several seasons he has endeavored to put In a garden, but, owing to the feathered pests, he has been unsuccessful. He threatened to slay those chickens a dozen times, and once dl.l get a gun an I do a little drmnge to thtlr num bers, lut still they came. At last he hit upon a plan. Going to a. printing olllce he had th'n following printed up on cards. In black letters: if you don't keep your chickens home I will murder avery one of them." These curds, he attached to a piece of strlnsr, on one end of which was a kernel of corn. Ho then distributed the cards liberally around his premise?, and. ns each chicken returned home, with one of the warnings attached, tin cards had the deslrod effect. The next day a. wagon load of new lumber wa? delivered on his neighbor's lot, and the sound of hammer and saw told of the erection of a new chleke;. cocp. JUST A PASSING GLANCE. A' Susquehanna, county man has Just returned home In disgust from rm office-hunting trip to Washington. Ho suys tint every oihce Morth having has a blankety blank swivel service tag on It." A Cibcad'.' lad found some eggs down In a ravine and placed them under a setting hen. Biddy on Sunday brought forth six chickens and four crows. A Susquehanna man has n tame crow. Every morning it wakes the lMXirders up Ir- time for breakfast, by carrying stones upon the roof, in hi) bill, and rolling them down the In cline. For his trouble he steals nil tho smoking pipes from the window ledges. LITTLE THINGS OF LIFE.

Fire was discovered In the Baltimore vein of the Maxwell mines at Wllkes Harre early Monday morning. A num ber of men were summoned and the fire wns extinguished before much damage occurred. It Is thought thnt some miner "had ignited the gas on Sat urday night and then went home be fore they had put the lire out.

Says the Times: Samuel Houser, vh6 lives on Foxtown Hill, had a thrilling experi ence on Bunday. Ho wns driving home from Johnsonvllle. Northamnton coun ty, nnd whllo crossing the mountain, which was on lire at some points, the wind freshened Into a semi-gale, caus- Ing the flames to make rapid headway in his direction. Houser heard tho cracKiniK ui mo miming lorest ami looking back saw the fire was almost upon hlni. Whipping his horso Into a gallop he began a race for life. The howling of the wind and tho roar of the flames made a noise he will never forget. His horse seemed to real ize the danger threatening his master and galloped along at a lively pace. A stumble would have been certain death and Houser held his animal to Its work with grim desperation. A lull In the wind for several minutes served to ln- crease his lead over' tho . fire. Ho made most of It, nrrlvlng nt the foot of the mountain In safety. Hotiser. who cares to say little about hi race with fire, does not wish for a repetition ot such a dangerous experience. TIIK WKLSliACII liKJIIT. Jmt What Hi I'mRl!" Incandescent .Mniitlo I5 .Made OT. t'ntll quite recently, say-t I'npula. Science News, the composition of tho light-giving body employed In Wols t.ach's Incandescent lights has been a piofour.d secret. The process employed In the manufacture of these bodies it hald to be substantially m follows: Knitted cotton tubes, mu do for this purpose, nie Impregnated with a thir ty per cent, aqueous solution of a mlx tuie of ninety-nine per cent, of thai-turn iiltrat" and one per cent, of cerium ni trate diled and Ignited. The morest trace of cerium o.xlde l suflleli.-it to render the light both bright and bril liant. An Incandescent body made ot pure eeiium-oxlde emits a light vary ing from a blood red to an orange col or; hence It will be seen, and expert -r cuts have satisfactorily demonstrat ed the fact, that the most servicable lMht Is produced by n mixture of the two substances thorium nnd tviiuin nnd In the above-named proportions. The body thus obtaiue.1 l.s soft and mnllenblc, but becomes hard on being hent( d by a gas burner constructed cs pce tally for this purpose. During this cpeintloii, the characteristic cone-like shape Is Impnrted to it. The weight of the average Incandescent body Is about 0.r gram, from which It would appc:r that the quantity ot. the salts employed In their manufacture Is con siderable; but, since the number In nc-tual use Is said to be thirty millions, It will icudlly be conceived that the to tal nggtegate quantity of halts thus annually expended is by no means small and unlmportint commercially. The mine rnh used In tha production of these salts r.ro thorite and organlte, found In Norway, and monazlte, found In the United States nnd South Ameri ca. The former of these tw: sub Ktniice!! Is composed of almost pure thoilum oxide, whereas thf? latter con tains from four to five per ?ent. only, nnd as much as fifty per cent, ot cer ium cylde. PRICKS or AXCIKNT STATICS. The Old-Time Sculptors .Hunt Ilnyo Pnirly Kcvclcd in Wealth. The prices sculptors receive for their work today are sometimes thought, says the Art Interchange, to be high In comparison with what Is received by painters. But when the highest prices paid to the sculptors are com pared with those paid for famous statues in ancient times they seem mere trifles. The famous Colossus of Khodes, a bronze statue which rose to tho height of about one hundred and five feet, cost 300 talents, which tak ing the Attic talent, equals $225,000, or by tho other talent, which Is more prob able, $510,000. Then there was the fu raou.i Colussus of the Sun, a bronze figure of Apollo, forty-flvo feet high, which cost 500 talents, equal to $375,000. But tho vnltia of both of these colossnl works sinkc Into Insignificance when compared with the price paid for a colossal statue of Mercury, made by Enodoras for tho city of Avernl, in Gnu!. The cost of this colossal work was $1,075,000, and occupied the sculp tor for ten years. The great statue of Athena, which Phidias made for the Parthenon at Athens, was also an ex pensive work, but the exact amount paid by the state Is not known. It was richly adorned with Ivory and gold, costing vast sums. The ancient writ ers aic equally silent ns to the aggre gate oaid to Phidias for the statue of Jupiter at Olympla but they do tell us something as to details. The unalloyed gold on the movable drapery on tho Athena, we are told by Thucydides. was over forty talents In weight, which would equal In value $."80,000 In coin, while a single lock on tho hend of Jupiter represented a value of about $25,000. Even when gold was not employed, hnndsome prices were paid to the artists for their work. For the famous statue, the Dladumenos, a bronze figure of life size, repiesentlng a youth tying a fillet around his head, Polycletus received what would equal about $125,000. SPASM OF REFORM IN FRANCE. Authorities Tufting Steps to Suppress Demoralizing Displays. Paris, April 27. The Montmartre cab nivts w 111 in future have to curtail their obscenltlc-s.

Roaoona Why Mrs. Plnklmm is Moro Bucoosami tho Family Doctors. A woman Is sick ; somo dUiaso peculiar to her bc.x is fust developing In her system. She goes to her family physician unit tells him a story, but not tho whole story. ' Shcholdssomclhlngbnck, loses her licnd, becomes agitated, forgets whut she wants to say, nnd ilnally conceals what alio ought to have told, nnd thus completely mystifies tho doctor. Is It any wonder, therefore, that tho doctor fails to euro tho disease? Still, we cannot blame tho wo man, forltis very embarrassing to detuil some of tho symp toms of her suffering, even to her family physician. It was for this reuson that years ago Mrs. Lydia U. l'lnk- ham, at Lynn, Mass., determined to step In nndhclplicr sex. ITaving had consid erable experience In treating female Ills with her Vegetable Compound, she en couraged the women of America to write to her for advice In regard to their complaints, nnd, being a woman, it was easy for her ailing sisters to pour into her cars every detail of their suffering. In this way she was able to do for them what the physicians wero unable to do, simply because she had tho proper Information to work upon, uud from the little group of women who sought her advice years ago a great nrmy of her fellow-beings aro to-day constantly applying for advice and re lief, and the fact that more than one hundred thousand of them have been successfully treated by Mrs. l'inkhnm during the lust year is indicative of tho gruud results which tire produced by her unciualcd experience and training. No physician In the world has had such a training, or has such an amount of information nt linnd to nssist in the treatment of all kinds of female ills, from the simplest local Irritation to tho most complicated diseases of the womb. This, therefore, is the reason why Mrs. l'inkhnm, In her laboratory at Lynn, Mass., Is able to do more for the ailing women of America thi'n the family physician. Any woman, therefore, is responsible for her own suffering who will not take the t roil bio to write to Mrs. Pinkham for advice. The testimonials which wo are constantly publishing from grateful women establish beyond a doubt the power of Lydia' 13. l'inkhaui's. Vegetable Com pound to conquer female diseases. THE MARKETS.
