That man is wise who takes, advantage ot the present piping times of prosperity to put something away each week against the proverbial raini day that conies sooner or Jater in the lives of most folks. it looks as if the ancient dot trine of the divine right of kings will ease to he held on the European continent when the war comes to an end Instead there will come the divine right of the people.

Hohmann Is at extensive manufacturer of surgical in-struments. His son will occupy the premises, possession ot which will be given in a short time. Complaint is made because boys congregate on the grammar school grounds Sunday afternoons and play patch that the borough council will be to take action in the matter. Sentiment in the borough, ftivor-lng the absolute lifting or the qtHtifen. tine order on account ot infantile paralysis, is strongly growing, it is believed that the season when the scourge is most prevalent is now over, and that people desiring to coi into the town should not be put to any further Inconvenience.

Besides, the expense of hiring health officers, would be stopped. It gratifying to learn that evil sometimes brings about good. Just now infantile paralysis Is about the most dreaded thing in the large cities and mainly because no certain prevention or cure baa been found for it. Yet iniant mortality in the cities is less this year than it has been in many a previous year, and the curious tiling about it is that infantile paralysis Is the cause of this welcome fact The truth is that such is the dread ot paralysis that parents are taking exceptionally good care of their children both in the matter of diet, dress and air. with the pleasing results ncted.

For all tliat let us be thankful, but pity it is that so many parents net a scourge to force them to do th ogs that love and common sense she. Id have been sufficient to do. Notwithstanding the improved miral standard of everyday life it is still the fact that business, political and iral ethics are even yet too flexible Men are yet too much governed by the financial standpoint in their estimate of a wrong done. For instance, a man. under the stress of hunger, steals a loaf of bread or a little meat to keep bis family from starving, or a little fuel to prevent them from freezing he Is branded as a thief who must be made an example ot to deter oil ers from committing a similar crime.

But lf a man steals a railroad and so fleeces Its shareholders, or creates a monopoly by which at one stroke the public is charged an extortionate pvice and all competition killed, the perpetrator is hailed as a brilliant financier, a captain of Industry and a Napoliou of finance. Yet in character whai is the difference between the act ot the poor man and that of the rich m.rn? If there is any it Is in favor of the poor man. because it was the stress ot circumstances that led him to st -al. and not ambition or the love or iw- Sunday School to Re-Open After being closed for several wei'ke on account of the quarantine the Pies-bytetian Sunday School will open on next Sunday morning at 10 o'clock, In the lecture room of the church It 1b desired that all tbe officers end teachers be present, and that there be a large attendance of the scholars. jonn u.

There is some talk of organizing a community singing class, under the lnarieriihin of a eomoetent instructor, h.ii jtiirinir the eomme fall and winter.

I A noted Jewish writer contends that 1 nothing but good will result out of thn nrasent war. It is to be honed he right, but it is a most costly and heartrending way of getting results, But some men are ootimlsts under the most trying circumstances and any Jew who is a resident in some one or nther nf the countries nnw at war must be of that character, considering the cruel treatment they have endured I for centuries.
