WHO WILL WRITE TO HIM? And Tell Him Some News About The Friends Of Many Years Ago. HE WAS BORN NEAR DOUBLING GAP. Which Be Says Enables Him To Good Weather Prophet. Be A Frederick Coggswell, ot Danbnry, Bays that this winter will be the mildest in many years. He relies in forecasting the weather npon a birth mark, a caterpillar, on his thigh.

The mark, its bearsr says, possesses all the characteristics of a live catcrpiller and cnanges color wnh the changes in weather. "Everybody to has been brought up in the country said "that when the caterpillars go lor shelter there is going to oe some cold weather. So it is with the caterpillar on my leg. The moment the thermometer drops to ny extent I can feel it begin to curl iteelt up into a snug ball for warmth, and it gives me an itchy sensation that makes me feel mighty uncomfortable. When the winter is going to be un usually severe it begins to curl up with the first approach of cold weather.

But this winter it lias given me no trouble at all, and except wnen there has been an occasionally of cold weather now and then I have scarcely been aware of its presence. There will be very little extreme cold weather this winter. I'd be willing to stake nay all on that." PLHINP1BLU. Mrs. Jobn Mentzer spent Sabbath afternoon with Mrs Cully.

Need At the annual dinner of the Navy League, held at Washington last week, a noteworthy speech was made by Jnstice Harlan of the Supreme "I believe," said Justice Harlan, "that we will see within the next ten years an army of perhaps 5,000,000 men in China, drilled and instructed by the Japanese, and when that time comes tbey will be in position to aay to us of the white race: 'You keep your country; we will keep this country, Get out Justice Harlan stated that he favors a strong navy but does not believe that there is any need for a large standing army in this country or that there is any possibility that the United States will ever be invaded by a foreign foe. There are 10,000,000 men in thia country," he asserted, "who would be ready to go to war within ninety days. The average American does not need more than three months to become a soldier. No country would ever send an army to invade our soil.

We have enough men to overwhelm the greatest army that ever was in existence. Our army is on land right around us. A president might me a large army to subvert the institutions of a free country. But that does not apply to a navy. There is no danger to the liber ties of the country in an increase in the navy." GRBRSON Mrs.

Once upon a time there lived in the land of Ethic a man named Peter, who wig rich and had lots of money. But although he was. rich he had a kind heart, and felt grieved to see so many people living miserable lives And when he compared his life wiib theirs, when be thought of the good thing! he bad to eat, the nice clothes he had to wear, the beautiful house he lived in, and the amusements and other things which helped him to pass the time pleasantly he often sighed acd wished that all the other people were at well off 8B he. For Peter Lad an even kinder heart than any other one of his countrymen, and you know that all well-tc-do dwell era in the land of Ethics lave kind hearts. They all love their poor people, and are always thinking of ways to help tbem acd make them happy.

But Peter was the kindest of tbem all. SjPtUr would often sit and think about these things, about the poor and about the rich. Indeed, be thought so bard and long that at last he got brain fevtr very badly, and it was a long time before he was well again. But be never left off thinking and wishing the poor wire as well oft' as be. One day or rather one night when he went to bed, he dreamed he saw the skies open and a rain of golden sovereigns begin to fall.

Down they came, one another, splashing on the pavement with a merry chink, chink that was as music to Peter's ear. Half-sovereigns, sovereigns, double-sovereigns, down they came, and soon the Btreets of the land of Ethics were covered an inch deep with yellow, shining goM. This dream greatly impressed Peter, and when be thought over it the next day he thought what a fine thing it would be if such a thing really happen for then everyone would have plenty of money like be himself had, and everyone would be able to have the nice things he enjoyed. "Ob, how I wish it would rain gold all day 1" he cried. And the next night a strange thin happened.

I suppose Peter bad been wishing so bard that the gold-god felt compelled to grant his wish. It really began to rain uet as Peter saw it in his dream 1 You can imagine what was the delight of the poor people when they got up early in the morning (for poor people always have to get up earlier than the rich) and saw the golden shower on the ground. Tbey all came out with baskets and boxes and pails, and long be fore Peter had arisen the gold was all wept up and taken away by the poor people into tbeir cottages, so that there was not even a solitary half-sovereign left in the streets Now, was this not wonderful And bow happy these people must have felt! But I want you to know the result of this rain of gold, and I can best show you by telling you about Peter's adventures the next day. When he awoke in the morning and went down stairs the house seemed strangely deserted. No servants were about, and bis wife came to tell him the astounding news that tbey had all disappeared.

ITS VICTIMS SHOILD STAY HOME. While Passing Along The Streets' They Throw Off Cernts Which Give The Disease To Other. Are you aware that a person who mingles with friends and business asso ciates while suffering from "la grippe" causes the spread of the malady among them? It seems that because influenza, with all the annoyance and illness that it be gets, does not carry a high death rate, people are inclined to think that it is not dangerous and few appear to realize that It is transmissible. But it is communicable, just as much so as consumption or pneumonia, and when a man or woman who is Buffering with it goes through the streets he can not fail to emit the germs. So, when another person comes along whose respiratory organs are in a condition inviting the prorogation of the influenza or "grippe" germ be or she naturally is infected with the disease.

But It is pretty difficult to make peo ple understand that they should stay at home and adopt precautions for the of others when they have the malady. While it is a disease which causes great suffering, the fact that it does not generally cause death tends to make the people careless. When doctors tell them to remain at home and cure themselves tbey will undoubtedly recognize that such a course would be right and proper, but it is doubtful whether anyone would pay any attention to the advice. This same disregard is noticeable in the case of pneumonia. Although it is not generally known, pneumonia stands next to consumption in the number of the deaths it causes, but while a person speaks with awe of tuberculosis the proportionate degree of fear is not created by the mention of pneumonia.

Yet it would be far better for the community were the same precautions adopted. It is no uncommon thing for sufferers from incipient pneumonia to walk the streets for Borne time before they are finally forced to take to their beds, and there are cases of a light character, where the victim, while feeling very ill, manages to keep moving about and the doctors never hear of him- Yet these people, bearing the bacilli, unqnestionably spread it and thus endanger those who may be in a weakened condition about them. The sufferer from the light type of the disease may transmit germs to a person who will have the disease in a very acute type." DICKINSON.

Carlisle May Lose fire Company.

Such an action would be great misfortune to the town as the Good Will bas always been one of its most efficient and well managed fire companies.

It is the only company in Carlisle which owns horses and for number of years it has, on this account, requested a larger appropriation from the borough but has been refused.
