THE COLlfMBlitf1 'Att ViffllRMX, BLOOlifSMr COUMBli" cWnW, VA. ThoPool Tribe. A (JUKKlt MOUNTAIN HACK THAT MVF, IN rKKNSVI.YANU. Two broad, low foothill?, a spur of tho Atipnlachlnti range, comprise almost tlio whole of Durcll township Urnd ford county In tho northern tier of Pennsylvania. To tho surrounding country this rtoublo olovation is known ns Huckloberry Mountain, or Pool Hill, tho first, namo from tho luxuriant growth of this popular fruit, which covers sides ami summit of tho mount ain. Tho appellation Pool Hill it tnkos from tho nondescript peoplo who populato Its hroad sides hko prairlo docs, bolter known ns tho "Pool tribe." Tho oricin of these peoplo is un known. A current tradition says that early in tho century a man named V an dor Pool, a Dutch Bailor, loft his life on tho briny, and travelling up tho Suscpiohanna Iiiyor, built himself a cabin near tho baso of Huckloberry Mountain. Tho saino tradition credits him with raarrvinc au Indian woman However that may havo been, ho left a baker's dozen or mcro of children with Characteristics as varied as their complexions , that was an inherent dis likojoLwork. Tho trait.is Jiercditnry, and fow of tho descendants havo cvor been known to do a week's continuous work, unless hard pressed. Tho tribo now number somo fivo to seven hum dred people. In pedigrco they are cosmopolitan and tho kinky hair and thick hps of somo of tho number would lead to the belief that If tho under ground railroad, which ran through this section, did not havo a terminus here, it nt least had a way station. Fugitives from justico and other vagabonds wcro attracted to tho settle ment, and helped to givo it tho lawless namo it had to tho outsido world. A fow of original Van der Pool Block settled down into honest but easy-going farmers, and some half a dozen or moro havo accumulated somo property. But they wcro1 handicapped with tho namo of Pool, and outside of their im modiato, neighbors havo alwaj-B carried tho approbrium of bolonging to tho Pool tribe"' for all aro called "Pools," whether thoy boar tho namo or not Hunting, fishing, and picking huck leberries aro tho mainstays of a maj ority of tho tribe. In lato years tho disappearance of game, even of tho smaller varieties, has at times driven somo of them to work for a fow days at a timo for tho neighboring farmers. This contingency, however, rarely aris es save in tho spring .before berries ripen. Now and then a male Pool, with a bundlo of hoop poles or whip sassatras root or slippery cim uanc, may bo seen on tho streets of tho neighboring towns. Chickens and turkoys roost very high, as a rule, in tho vicinity of Pool Hill, and smoko houses aro double-locked and watched with shotguns during tho hamcuring season. Tho circus comes up fully to tho Pool's idea of heaven, and tho ring master's whip is about tho only thing besides ;tho pangs of hunger ' which will drivo tho rank and filo of them to work. A hundred or moro havo been known to walk fifteon or twenty mileB to sco a circus como into town. A gen eralhilarioua drunk,followed with afield fight either with tho show1 attaches or tho'polico, it is always done on their programme. Tho shooting of a couplo of tTiem by a policeman two or throe years ago rather put a flampener on their festivities at tho courty seat, but tho natives still keep a weather eyo open when tho Pools come to town. Huckleberries are their great crop. Thoy are to' tho Pools what summer boarders aro to tho Jersoy farmer. When the berries ripen thoy camp out among t)io bushes, and stay out till frost qomop. When a Pool gets a bushel of berries picked ho starts for Towanda and sells them, buys a few pounds of corn meal, a piece of salt pork, and a jug of "coffin varnish" whiskey, and then goes back to tho mountain. Fanners from tho surrounding country to a distanqo of twenty or thirty mill's havo a custom each year of visiting the mountain at tho con elusion of haying. A big lumber wag on is filled with hay, baskets and pails and sufficient provender for a two day's stay. Then all hands start for tho mountain. It is a "treat'' which every right minded farmer is expected to give his helpers, and thoy raanago to get considerable fun out of it, and rarely go homo with less than two or moro bushels of berries. Tbo hill swarms with rattlesnakes. To bo prepared for a possiblo bite, tho borry-sceklng grangor carries two or threo quarts of whiskey. Tho wily ruralist doesn't pick many berries, however. Ho starts out from tho camp with a quart bottle of tho liquid and a half bushel mcas-, nre. Ho will not have to travel moro than a hundred yards beforo something like tho-followmg- dialogue may bo heard : 'Lo, raistah, is yo' got auylhiuj; to drink 7 "I dunno, Pool. Purty dry T "I'm inos' dead for suthin. Say." "Wal," "I'll donogivoyo' fo'iqua'ta o' buck leborriea foh a snifter." "All richt Pool, produce.'1 The fruit is produced, and for a1 moment tho Pool sees heaven as ho shuts his eves and elevates tho bottle. A quart of 40 cent whiskoy will buy moro berries than b2 in money . Thotc is ono thing peculiar about these people. They never get bitten by tho rattloiimkeH. Malo aud female, little and big,- they bang around over tho rocks and through the bnshes, gen erally Jbarcfooted nnd never wearing stockings, and no ont-'evor heard of one of them being poisoned by a snake bito. I camped two nights on tho mount ain a fow weeks ago, and took a stroll up among tho rocks, kooping an eye out for rattlesnakes. All at once I heard a call : "Say, Mistah.'' It was a bont old man', with white hair, and a weather-beaten, old-copper complexion. Ho wrw half sitting, half lyiu; on tho fiat surfaco of n big bould er, (iunninir himself. In his hand ho held a heavy stick, with two short Drone at tho end. "Hollo,'" said I i "what do yo.u wantl" "Whati a yo goto I "Lookinir for a rattlesnako and a Pool." I answered. "Wal, I'm ono pf 'om, an' I reckon yo' won't havo to go mo'n a milo'to find th' other. Has yo' got auything to dunk T I had a pocket flask of snako-bight annihilator with me. Pulling it out, I said ; "I'll givo you n drink if you will show mo a rattlesnako.' "I'll haf to go yo', mistah." ho said, ns ho climod down from tho rook and led tho way up umonc tho rocks nt a pace w hiuh loft mo breathless. Twico on tho way ho stopped, aud, looking up blankly Haiti : "Oodlemity, but I'm dry, mistah," Both times I moistened tho old man. and again wo proceded Finally ho said ; "Bottah no a lectle koe'fuf, mistah, Doy'll bo up dah Bundin' dejsclfs." Proceeding cau tiously, wo climbed up on a rock nnd looked over on tho other side. There, stretched lazily out on n flat stone, lay a largo snake. "Boos yo' want Mm, mistah t' said tho Pool. "I'll haf to go yo' was his reply, as ho cautiously climbed iloWn from tho rock on which wo rested, nnd thon crept along on all fours until within a fow foot of tho snako. Then ho noise lessly straightened up and reached for tho snako with hid forked stick, plant ing it just back of his head. Tho rep tilo writhed and twisted and rattled his alarm, but tho old man had lfim plnnod fast After watching him a minuto or two tho Pool picked un r stono with liis frco hand and crushed tho snake's head. Palling a rusty old claspkulfo from tho depths of his pocket, ho cut off tho rattles. Thoro woro nine of 'them, showing, according to tho old man's figuring, that tho Rnako was Id years old. "Aro you afraid of gelling bit I" I asked. "Naw," ho replied, "l'vo been bit mo'n a hund'ed times. Gin mo iittther drink.". Alter tho old man had irrigated, I asked why it was tho bita of a ratllo snako never hurt a Pool. "Ho looked up with a cunning leer nnd said : "That's wuth suthin' to know, mistah.'' "Well," eaid I, "you can havo tho rpnialndcr of this firo juico if you will tell mo." Ho rolled up tho slovo of his ragged old hickory shirt nearly to tho should er, flight below tho biceps was a deep corrugated scar as largo as a sil ver half dollar. ''Yo' sect it f" ho said, and then con tinued : "When I was a ycahlin' ray faddcr killed n rattler an' took out ouo o' do pizon tccf. Ho cut a hole in my arm dcro an' put Bomo o' do pizen in it. It was pow'ful so', an1 I didn't get well foh mos' a yeah. Jos' as long as yo' can seo that ,6car 1, won't get pizon ed. Wo folks alius docs dat : larnt it f'om do injuns." Tho idea has struck mo that tho old man was lying, but I don't know. Easiness Getting- an Unexpected Boom. "Oh yes," said tho Ohio passenger, "onr campaign is warming up. Got ting right lively. It's helping busi ness, too, so it is." "Helping business t" "Yes.

Tho Mystery of Seeds- Tlio Massachusetts Ploiiffhman ox plains to its readers why when a pino forest is cut off it comes up with Heed ling oaks. A pmo forest, it ,8ays, is probably better adapted to tho preser vation of tho aoorn through tho Win ter than any other place, and tho mois ture in tho Spring, togothor with tho shade, is just whai tho presorrod acorn requires J.o mako it sprout, and encoiirago tho young troo to growj so wlicn, by any chance, an acorn is dropped in a pino forest, it is very suro to groto aud iriako an oak trcev It Is well known that a pino forest 'is an excellent placo for tho squirrels to mako their home, and what is mora rifitliral than that they should bring homo ncorns, though they aro required lo go long distances for them; and would it not bo very unnatural for them if thoy did not often drop somo ol them from their overloaded pouches wlion frichtened by somo passing ani mal, or fired at by somo thoughtless gunner t Thus ono by ono tho seed is dropped year after year by squirrels, apd probably birds, until nearly cvory rod ot land is planted, by a natural proccs?, with seed .that is perhaps brought a half miloior more; After tho liltlo oaks begin to grow tho shade of tho pino trees is so denso that they make but liltlo progress. Tho troe that comes from the seed two years beforo the pino is cut, is almost as tho ono that camo from, tho seed twenty years boforo. For twenty-fivo or more years tho littlo oaks aro thus accummulating, and all aro patiently waiting for tho pines to bo out, that they may havo tho help of tho light anil sunshine. But tho explanation of tho Plough- man will not sullico in all cases, nor havo wo aver seen any satisfactory ex planation of tho fact that a space of 'ground cleared off in a forest miles away from open holds will at onco spring up with a great variety of plants to which the placo boforo had been an ontiro stranger. Tho firewood, tho blackberry, dandelions, crasscs, and tho common weeds of tho field and garden will thus put in an appenranco as. quickly as though tho ground had been expressly prepared for tho pur pose. Tlio common theory that the seeds aro transported lo theso distant points by birds or winds, and that they may lio latent in tho ground for many years beforo tho proper conditions arrive for germination and growth, seems plausible enough, but we havo never seen any prooi ui it. Coomno the Ceixahs. A great mistako is sometimes mado in vcntilat inc cellars and milk-houses. Tho ob ject of ventilation is to kcop tho cel- lars coai aim ury, uul tins oujuut mien fails of beinc accomplished, by a oom- moi) mistake, aud instead, tho collar is mado both warm and damp, A cool placo should never bo ventilated, unless the air admitted is cooler man the air within, or is at least as cool as that, or a very littlo warmer. Tho warmer tho nir, tho moro moistnro it holds in susension. Necessarily, tho cooler tho nir, tho moro this moisture is condensed and precipitated. When a cool cellar is aired on a warm day, tho entering air being in motion appearB cool; but as it fills tho cellar, tho cooler air with which it becomes mixed, chills it, tho moisturo is con denscd, and dow is deposited qii tho cold walls, nnu may otton bo seen run ning down them in streams. Then tho collar is damp, and soon boo omcs mouldy. To avoid this tho windows should only bo opened at night, and lato tho last thing before retiring. Thero is no tiood to fear that tho night air is unhoalthful it is as pure as tho air ol midday, and is really drier. Tho cool air outers the apartment dur ing tho night, and circulates through it. Tho windows should bo closed be fore 8iinriso in tho morning, and kept closed nnd shadowed through tho day. If tho air of tho cellar is damp, it may bo thoroughly dried by placing in it a peck of fresh limo in nn open box A peck of limb will absorb about rovcii pounds, or moro than thrco quarts of water, and in this way n cellar or milk room may soon be dried, oven in tho holiest weather.
