NoTrsQ is made more endurable by "worrying over il. Dwelling on the perpetual pin-sticks. Instead of covering them out of sight, will make fine lines In the smoothness of the forehead, lift the eyebrows querulously, drop the corners cf be mouth downbeartedly, and not only spoil present beauty, but hasten future t)lints8.

Moreover, worry is the cause of other evils, indigestion being not the )eat of tbem. The strain and anxiety which dt press the brain produce simultaneously a semi-paralysis of the internal organs, and presto! there is indigestion. One sign of mental health is serenity of temper and self-control that enables us to bear with equanimity and unruffled calmness the petty trials and Jars of life, especially th se arising from contact with scolding, irascible, irritating folk. Cultivate the art of not hearing, and so preserve your own mental balance. It is do extravagance to say that sweet temper is the best bcautifler known.

CHAMBERSBURG. PA. from oar regular Correnpondent, Washington, Nov. 26. 1S94.

Editor Chronicle At first glance it would appear to those who form hasty conclusions that the aggregate amount of the bids submitted $155,000 000-for the $50,000,000 in bonds which are to be issued by the Government was an indication that the country bad a large surplus of money for which the peo pie had no use, but a little study of a list of the bidders will quickly show how fallacious such an assumption would be. Thanks to the persistency of a few of the bidders, the full list of those who bid for the bonds was made public as soon as the bids were opened, although Secretary Carlisle bad intended that the names should be withheld from the public until Congress called for them with a special resolution, as it did after the first bond issue, and as it would certainly have done after this on j. Among the bidders, several hundred in number, there were only nine individuals, all the remainder being banks, Insurance and trust companies, and the aggregate of the amount desired by tbe individuals was too small to be even considered leas than $70,000. Ia it any wonder, therefore, that Congressmen and others interested in the financial problem, which everybody now admits to be the most important before tbe country, should be asking why it is that there is $155,000,000 aboal $2 50 per capita, and more than one-tenth all the money said by the Treasury to be in circulation in the bands of these banks and Corporations which its owners are anxious to loan to the Government at from 2 to 3 per cent, while the average man whose real estate is mortgaged is compelled to pay double as much, or more, for the use of money? That this question will be asked in a dozen forms on the floor of Congress is certain, but that it will, or cau be. satisfactorily answered is altogether another matter.

That there is a surplus of money in tho vaults of tbe rich banks is just as certain as it is tbat there is lack sufficient money in the hands of the people. When this can be equalized the financial problen will have been solved. There ia a division of fentimetit in tbe Cbluet, as well as in the democratic party, as to what fl anc h1 recommendation the President should make in his message to Congrets. At least two mem bers of tbe Catunet believe that it will be a mistnke for the President to recommend a financial system in his message, when he knows that It cannot possibly be acted upon by the present Congress and that it will provoke st bitter opposition in his own party. They have advised him to merely recommend that Congress authorize the appointment by the President a non-partisan commission, to make a thorough iuvestigation of the subject to be embodied In a report to the President.

It is said that Mr. Cleveland would be willing to accept this advice, although he isn't in the habit of doing that sort of thing, if he could be certain that Congress would leave the appointment fhe commission in bis hands, lie fears tbat Con. greas would name the commission, giving the silver men too much representation thereon, and for that reason probably not make the recommendation. But it may get before Congress, for all tbat, as a movement has been started to use it to fight whatever recommendation Mr. Cleveland may make, and if his recommendation is what it is expected to be the movement may succeed.

It would be good party politics for Mr. Cleveland to accept the financial idea, whatever might be tbe final result of It. Tbe fact that a Congressional Committee wbicb has been investigating things In Indian Territory, independently of tho Da wes commission, has found tbe same verdict as the Dawes commission Ibat the government maintained by what are known as the five civilized tribes of Indians Is a failure will doubtless be a factor in determining the fate of Congressional legislation on the subject. Senator Jones, of Arkansas, is greatly interested in the bill providing that these Inn is shall be distiibuted in severalty in accordance witb the Dawes act, and he expresses the opinion that it will be passed early in tbe coming session. Tbe opposition to tbls bill is sturdy and determined, or rather was when Congress was last in session, and probably will be again.

Tbe beet sugar people, or at least enough of them to make a test case, have entered suit in the U. 8. Court of Claims for the amount of bounty due on the crop which was partly converted into sugar when tho bounty law was repealed. Tbe defense of tbe government, according to Attorney General Olney. will rest almost entirely upon tbe claim that Congress had no constitutional right to grant bounties or to make bargains for each a purpose with individuals.

That may or may not be good constitutional law, but it does not strike an ordinary man as go- common sense. If tbe Attorney General believed the bounty law to be unconstitutional why did he not go into court and try to save the millions the government paid out un-d it since this administration came into office List of Patents Granted to Pennsylvania inventors this week.

There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi tion of tbe mucous lining ot the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Dexfness ia the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and tbis tule leslored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

LARUE PROFITS. In this age no man can afford to trust to what is called bis "good luck." What the world wants now are energy, skill and determination. The man who expects to succeed by his "pood luck" wil be apt to awaken to a realization that something more than this is required if he wishes to succeed. There are so many opportunities for young men to prepare themselves for lives of usefulness that ihere 1 no excue for the one who regJtcta his opportunities. Even while waiting for work the applicant cn do rnui-b to qualify himself for the expected position.

If he is a mechanic, he should know a'l about his trade, and not he content when he only knows enough to hold a situalion.

Wheo our young nu realize that this Is truly an age of pr gress, demanding the very best talent, they will read something more valuable than a trasby novel, and in place of wasting time at a theatre, they will learn to appreciate go'-d lectures. Thk report of Postmaster General Bissell contains a number of novel suggestions and recommendations, but these are associated with practical ideas and plans that render them of more than ordinary value. Mr.

Bisell recommends that the first aod moat important thing to be done is to revise the law as to second class mail matter, so as to place the posu fflce department immediately upon a elf sustaining basts. Second, avoid expensive experiments, like the postal telegraph, rural free delivery, Third, develop the postal service on existing lines of administration by extending free delivery in cities that now enjoy according it to towns already entitled to it under the law, and bv quickening railroad transportation. Fourth, revise and re-classify the organization of the railway mail service and re-clify clerks in posti ffices, and Fifth, provide for district supervision of all postal affairs by appointment of expert postal officials from the classified service as recommended in the last annual report. Two of the most novel features to which reference has beenmade concern a limitation iu tbe broad construction placed second-class matter, and a suggestion as to the selection of the lower grade of postmasters. Ia the first instance Sir.

Bissell puts forward a plan by which legitimate public us of tbe second class, such as newspapers and periodicals, may be carried free through the mails and yet leave tbe government witb a surplus instead of the usual deficiency in the miioiennce of the postal service. With reference to the postmasters in tbe smaller offices, Mr. Bissell expresses his willing ness to endorse any reasonable plan which will take their selection, witb all the consequent bickerings and jealousies, from tbe hands of the postmaster general and he makes his ideas so broad on this subject as to leave no doubt that he will favor the suggested popular vote as tbe means out of the difficulty in cases where there is more than one candidate. To show just how vast is the postal service of the United Stales Mr. Bissell has taken another novel method.

Lie has secured from his subordinates and incorporated in the report a record of what is actually accomplished in one day, and tbe table presented gives a better idea of postal business than fuller and more complete details. Tbe record of an average day's business is as follows: Number of miles of post road run, 1,100 000; number i stamps manufactured, number or envelopes manufactured, 1.300,000; number of postal cards manufactured. number of pieces mailed, number of letters mailed, 7.400,-000; number of pieces cf mail matter distributed and redistributed by railway postal clerks. number of pieces handled in dead letter office, daily transactions in money order business, 1.100.000; daily expenses, 231.100. The deficiency in postal reports for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1894.

was $9 243.935. The total revenue derWed was $75 00,479 and tbe expenses f4 324.414 For tbe current fiscal year Mr. Bissell estimaies that the expenditures will amount to 45. havirg an estimated deficiency of $5 071,736, and bis estimate for tbe fical year ending June 30. 1896, place expenditures at $91 059 283 and the deficiency at only Mr.

Bissell disagrees with bis predecessor, Mr. Wana-makrr, with reference to tbe subject of tbe postal telegraph. He tbinka wholly Impracticable at this time and contends that our exisiiog postal service should be fully developed before adopting postal telegraphy wbicb would add enormously to the already large deficit of tbe poslofflce department.
