Bedford, Pa., May 5.—After a lapse of half a century a monument to the “Lost Children of the Alleghenies" has been erected In the mountain wilds of this county and will be dedicated with Impressive ceremony next Tuesday, the fiftieth anniversary of the finding of the children’s bodies. The story of the lost children— Qebrge and Joseph Cox, aged 7 and E years, respectively—is a household tale throughout this section of Penn sylvania. It was on the morning of April 24, 1866, that the two little tots wandered away Into the mountains n- their home In Spruce Hollow. W. Albany Trust Co. of Georgia. ALBANY F. O. Ticknor, Manager.

The parents Immediately became alarmed and the following day, when the chil dren failed to reappear, all the sur rounding country was aroused. Four- •teen days after they had wandered away, after fully 3,000 people had about given up a search for them by day and by night, the thin, emaciated bodies of the youngsters were found In an out-of-the-way ravine In the mountain. The parents of the children are both dead, but the story of their loss still survives and 1 some time ago the “Lost Cox Children Memorial Association” was formed by prominent persons of this and adjoining counties for the purpose of erecting a slutable monu ment. The monument which has been erected in the mountains on the spot where the little bodies were found IS a handsome marble shaft five feet high. On the face of the monument la the Inscription: ‘“the Lost Children of the Alleghenies Were Found Here May 8, 1866, b$ Jacob Dlbert and Harrison Whysong.” In. the base of the shaft will be placed newspaper ac counts and other data pertaining to the affair.

Floheo That Cannot Swim. More than one species of fish Is met with which cannot swim, the most sin gular of which perhaps Is the maltha, a Brazilian fish, whose' organs of loco motion only enable It to crawl_or walk pr bop after the manner of a toad, to which animal this fish to some extent bears' a resemblance, and It Is provided with a long upturned snout. The ante rior (pectoral) fins of the maltha, which are quite small, are not capable of act ing on the water, but can only move backward nnd forward, having truly the form of thin paws. Both these and the ventral and anal fins are very dif ferent from the similar fins In other fishes nnd could not. serve for swim ming at all. Other examples of non- swimming fishes Include the sen horse, another most peculiarly shaped Inhab itant of the sea, which resembles the knight In n set of chessmen, nnd the starfish, of which there are many spec imens, which mostly walk and crawl on the shore or rocks, both being un able to swim.

Its very - slowness Is -what gives It Its splendid'staying powers for hard work, whether muscular or men tal. As a matter of fact I have seen more cases of dyspepsia cured by the use of breakfast bacon than by any jclhd of drdg or restricted diet An adult alimentary canal which; cannot digest bacon er ham Is not td be re garded ns healthy, and, Instead of jhu- moring and giving In to a weak diges tion, It should be braced up and, under skilled supervision, educated to take what Is given It and make no' fuss. Stomachs can be spoiled by giving them too little to do almost as easily as by giving them too much. A healthy Stomach fit to cope with the emergen cies of life must be able to digest not only that which Is digestible, but much that is difficult of digestion, and this Is the standard which should be aimed at tn djetetlc therapeutics.—Woods Hutch inson, M.

He Is the biygoranster of n village In a street wheteof n cy clist ran over and killed n goose. The owner of the bird demanded 3 marks damages. The cyclist thought 2 ample. The ense enme before the chief mag istrate, who gave bis judgment as follows: ‘The plointlff declares that If paid 3 marks ho will make no claim for the dead goose. The defendant, who Is willing to pay 2 marks, also makes no claim for the body of the goose. Defendant, band me 2 marks, and you, plaintiff, band-me the goose.” When both had obeyed bis commands be produced 1 mark out of bis pocket and banded nil three to the plaintiff.

Arsenic has been known from veky early tlines ns u deudly poison. It Is boUOved' to haVe beon the means em ployed by Nero to remove bis enemies, andfc there Is little doubt that it was also known to and employed by Mes- sallna and Agrippina. During the mid dle ages It was extensively used as a secret poison, being sold by alchemists and poisoners of Italy under the name of “widow’s ’powders” or “succession powders.” Its properties wore definite ly ascertained and mado public by Brandt in 1783. The plant from which nsafetlda Is produced Is a native of Persia, Afghanistan and northern India. In nil these countries the In habitants use It ns a seasoning for their meat and vegetables, much as red pepper Is employed by the natives of Mexico nnd South American states. The odor Is not deemed by them tn the least offensive. Almtns «' Revolver. It Is a peculiar fact- that' very few men, even accomplished shots, knojv how a revolver ought to be handled. Nearly all are taught to handle n re volver as If It were a rifle—that Is, by bringing the object aimed at and the fore nnd hind sight Into a line. This Is all well enough for shooting gallery practice, but should never be followed In the field. When training troops to use the revolver they are tnught, In nlmlng, never to look at the weapon at all, but to keep their eyes on the object to be struck. In quick firing, and specially in shooting from horse back, much better results are obtain able in this way. BOAT8 FOR RENT And Fishing Permits 8old at the Coun try 8tore. ED. R. a CLAYTON JONES.
