Two candidates for the Assembly will be put in the field this fall by the Local Uptlonists of the county.

They met here, Thursday, and bad an enthusiastic meeting, and afterward one of the leaders exclaimed "You would be surprised to hear the reports of en- thusaism we receive. Sejtiment in favor of the movement appears to be growing in this county, and we are going right ahead now to organize every district." Practical steps to strenthen the local organization will be taken immediately. Committcemen will be put to work and the agitation committee i canvass the county. A CONCRETE HOUSK. Without the least sign of a splurge Henry C.

Mercer is going about the construction of a large reinforced concrete summer home near the town, and working out an experiment which i eithci prove or disprove the value and economy of building houses of that sort. "It's only an experiment," he said yesterday to the Giuette correspondent. "I'm trying lots of things which would be risky for an architect, it may bring out some points of val ue. Kdison's plan of building concrete houses with iron forms is an im- ractlcable dream. 1 might save money the construction but in the'encl you would only have a lot of houses mo- lotonously alike.

Building one as we are here, by means of wooden forms, is the greatest latitude for the expression of individuality. Concrete louses, loo, must be adopted event- tally because our lumber is giving out and wood will become too expensive or the average man to use." In addition to building this house Mr. Mercer is reclaiming some of the vonderful natural beauties of a 200- icre tract of ground which former 'W ners had nearly devastated by ruin- ng springs and sinking quarries. The argest quarry has been turned into an iltraelive Italiati garden and the prings are being cleaned and walled. IS IT GOOD POLICY?

Stories of adventure and romance can be woven around a beautifully colored photograph of a girl wearing a Revolutionary gown presented to the Bucks County Historical Society, last week, by Richard Randolph Parry, of New Hope. The picture is of Mr. Parry's daughter wearing the wedding dress of her greatgrandmother, Anna Juliana Steele, wife of Captain Edward Fitz Randolph, a patriot of 1776.

Accompanying the photograph, pasted on the back of the frame, are two clippings. One of them tells of a meeting in the Academy of Music, Philadelphia, in 1884 when the gown was worn by Miss Bessie Richard, another great granddaughter. The second clipping tells of some of the exciting experiences of Captain Randolph during the Revolutionary War, and gives an old love letter. BLUE ROCK SHOOT.

Barrett, proprietor of Roebling's Inn, has closed out his business in the model town of Roeblings, above Florence, N. and will return to his former business of a stone road contractor. Barrett, who startled license holders throughout the county by notifying the public that he intended to live up to the letter of the bishop's law, found he could not do business according to law and honesty and still make a profit. So he has decided to e)uit. Barrett's novel notice, which he issued and posteel at his bar when he opened his place, reads: To the wife who has a drunkard for a husband, or a friend who is unfortunately elissipated, I say emphatically give me nolice in person, and all such cases shall be excluded from drinking at my place of business.

"I want it distinctly understood that I have no desire to sell to drunkards, minors or to the poor. I mucli prefer that they save their money and put it where it will do the most good to their families. 'There are men of honor and men of money who can afford it, and it Is with these that I de-sire to Friends declare that Barrett assiduously lived up to the rules he had set for his business, and for that reason could not make a reasonable profit. Funeral on Skates. Among the Weuda, a remnant of the ancient Slavonic race inhabiting the Sprefewald, a region Inclosed by an arm ot the Spree river, about fifty miles south of Berlin, are seen the most curious funeral processions of the civilized world.

As In Holland, the thoroughfares are waterways. In the winter time, when these are frozen over, funeral processions pass along the ice on skates. Tie coffin is carried on a filedge drawn by six mourners on skates. The Immediate relatives of the dead, men and women alike, skate along behind the coffin surrounded by their friends. The women carry a Bible In one hand and wear the ancient national Mechanics.

People often speak of chimneys "drawing." also speak of the suction of a pump. There is not so lunch harm In these expressions, except that they are liable to lead us awaj from the true state affairs. But in truth there is no such thing as suction. Suction is merely partial or entile absence of pressure In one place which enables the greater pressure of air or fluid in another place to rush in. I case of the chimney the heated air In it does not weigh so much as an criu-tl volume of cold air, and If the air In the chimney, the air In the room and the outside nir were all the same temperature there would be no tendency to any motion.

But when the air in the chimney Is hot it does not press downword so much cs the colder surrounding air presses upward. Consequently an upward current is started and will continue If the air In the chimney is kept hot--A. S. S. Ackerraan in London Express.

Changed the Name. He had given up town life, with its cares and dissipation, and was living in the country. "What a charming cottage!" exclaimed a dainty lady visitor from London. "What have you called it?" "I have called it the Nutshell," he told her, and she exclaimed: "Oh, how delightful!" After tea and cakes she took the train back to London, where she remained for six months. Then she "ran down" to see him again.

"As sweet as ever!" she told him. "But you have changed the name! Why is it now Chez Nous?" "Why?" he responded, with some warmth. "Because I was tired of being jollied!

Those who cared lo do so unbent from their dignity and on hands and knees crawled into the mine, where, with lighted candles they explored as far as posibie, but the majority were content to merely look at the outside of the hole. Grouped on the hillside near the mine's mouth the picnickers listened lo an account of the region roundabout, deftly woven of historic facts and tradition, by Ely J.

Smith, of Doylestown, a "known it well as a boy shooting bull frogs." He said this xxas a typical English settlement though we hear less of it as such than of some other parts of our country. A tract of 75UO acres known as the Manor of Highlands was conveyed to William Penn and almost immediately afterward divided up among a number of others. iirst to share in the division was Koberl Thompson, who built on his tract the house xx here had lunched, now known as the Neely place. The first Neely connecteed with it went to Robert Thompson's lo learn the i i business, fell in love with and married his daughter, and succeeded lo the business and estate which has since born his mime. A representative of the family, a boy of six years, of the sixth generation from the fim owner, whose home is on a part of the original tract purchased by Ills ancestor, was present and made his bow to the company as Master Barnes Fretz, son of Helen Pany Fretz, whose mother was Sarah Hough, daughter of Elizabeth T.

Ely Smith gave interesting accounts of Jericho Hill, on which there was once a Benedictine Monastery, founded by Russell Whitcomb, of New York, of "Lurgan College," of Bowman's Hill, named for one John, or Jonathan Bowman who set out to find Captain Kidd but himself turned pirate, and who was buried on the hill of the old silver mines and the copper mine, which was worked by Swedes or Dutch prior to 1750. All listened with rapt attention till the end, then took their way back to boat and trolley cars, some preferring the latter as a quicker means to the desired end --home.

About sixty chose to return by boat to Yardley and had an even more pleasant trip than the one north, if that were possible. The downward voyage took about an hour less than the upward. Unfortunately trolleys did not connect well for borne of the homeward bound and the waiting room at Newtown though large enough (being all of out doors) was not very comfoi table for the half-dozen Doylestowners stranded there for nearly an hour; however, they did not allow a trifle like that to spoil an otherwise perfect day. Beside those who went by boat from Yardley a number drove to the Neely place, and still others went by trolley, io at the luncheon hour upwards of a lundred were on hand.

These women did nol attempt argue the right or xx rong of liquor tak ing from Ihe temperance point of view but they xveiil at the subject from its financial aspect, i can noxx myself contribute some figures wlilcl very much strengthen the orlglna statements, and perhaps may show one reason for the strong feeling to ward temperance lhat people xx nexer had such feelings before arc noxx entertaining. A A HABIT HI Li The tobacco anel Hqunr bill of the United States for the year 19( (i was In the same ear wi spenl for men's clothing only for women's clothing, 000,000, and for children's clothing $890,000,000. We paid for fuel for oui homes and places of business only for life insurance, and for fresh beef, $930,000,000. That is, xve spenl for liquor anel tobacco nearly four times xx hat xve spenl for men's clothing; we spent for those txvo articles nearly six times xvhat we spent for women's clothing, and nearly three times what xve spent for children's clothing.

To say that such figures, xx hen sludieel by man of Intelligence, eio not affect him, especially if he is glxen lo expensix'C habits ol Ihis characler, is folly. Men study figures today as they never did before. The xxorld Is becoming congested. There are more people lo be fed Ihan xve have food there are more children to be educated than there are schools; nnel there is more work to be done Ihan Ihere are capable xxorking people to elo 11, We get at this situation by collecting figures and instituting comparisons, and the figures assist us in seeking the remedy. Statistics have pi ayed a very important part in eelucaUng the common people into temperance ideas.

However, I will give some more figures. It has been fairly well determined that the average man who drinks spends 50 cents a day for liquor. Thwe figures are for this country. I believe he spends a little less in Germany and more in England. This takes from his income IH82.50 a year.

A man who is a steady drinker requires more medical attendance in a year than a man who is not. This has been demonstrated by physicians. More men are rejected by life Insurance companies because they are drinkers than men who are weak otherwise. We have, therefore, less financial protection for the family of a drlnkei than for the family of a temperance person. A man xvho drinks creates more debts, as a rule, than a man who does not eirink.

Summing up all these things against the annual earnings of such a man, we find that he his family, through his habit, about $250 a year, which includes his liquor bill, his debts, his medical attendance and loss of profit in nn insurance policy. HABIT STRIKES INCOMES. Now, in the United States there are 2,352,000 farm families, whose annual income is less than $100; 8,422,000 city families, whose income Is less than $400; 1,447,000 farm families whose income is less than $600; 2,230,000 city families whose Income is less than $600; 274,000 farm families whose income is and tind 1,413,000 city families whose Inoomo is from $1,200 to $1,800. You deduct from the farm and city families, having annual incomes less than $400, $250 for liquor, sickness, debts and loss of Insurance, and you are steadily driving the family into WoO a year, If ths father is a drinking man. The loss is not no severe on the families with the larger income, but It is, ncx-erthclcss, a steady financial drain.

The diversion of so much money Into single habit and Its altendanl'evlls, affects the purse of the bread-winner, the comforts of the home, nnd schooling of the children; and the anel physical character fo the head ol the family himself are attacked. The average factory worker of ths United States receives 1490 peryesr In wages, and there are 0,152,000 of such workers. Deduct from this $260 a year for liquor and its miseries, and half of the family's Income is taken away. The average wage-earnings per year in the North Atlantic states of Ihis Union arc $479; in the South Atlantic states, $335; in the North Central slates, $508; In the Western states, where mining Is protfiable, $670 or an average ver year per man for the whole United States of $477. Take from tills the $260 put Into a habit and the blow which Is dealt the Individual and the family is too palpable to be Ignored.

Figures of this character cannot be disputed. They are having extraordinary weight in this progressive day with thinking people, and in some ways they are doing more for the cause of temperance than a hundred other arguments that might be advanced.
