THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURC, PA.
A YANKEE SCHOOLMARM.
tlha Onpt to the Klondike llcRtnu mill
and Tukn a ftrhool II on He With ller.
' Here's a Yankee schoolmarra with a
truly Yankee Idea. She has gone to
the Klondike to set up a school, and
las taken the schoolhouse with her!
Bright woman, Isn't K?
The civilizing Influence of the school
Will thus be brouKht Into clone Juxta
position with the faro lay outs and the
dance halls which Invariably follow the
Strike of gold the world over. The re
sult should be of great good and use
fulness to the peace and welfare of the
Klondike metropolis.
Mrs. II. C Howland, of Sun Francis
co, formerly Miss M. E. Glenn, of Bos
ton, Is this enterprising woman. She
lias sailed for Alaska, and will open a
school at Dawson City.
Mrs. Howland is a graduate of the
Harvard Annex (Radcliffe), and is well
qualified for the task she has under
taken. She Is accompanied by her hus
band, who has spent some years in the
work. Mrs. Howland Is aware that at
present there are very fow children, if
any, at Dawson City, and her first
classes will probably be bearded men,
who will seize the opportunity to get
s little "book larnln' " during the long
winter months when mining Is Impos
sible. In the hold of the steamer upon
which the plucky schoolmarm sailed
was the material for a schoolhouse in
sections, already to set up, with a prop
er supply of books, slates, maps and
stationery.
The school building is constructed
especially for Its environment. There
Is a flat, sloping roof, so that the snow
can be easily shoveled off. The win
dows are high aftove the ground. That
la to prevent the enow from drlftiug
over them. Everything has been con
sidered that will be conducive to corn
tort. A big wood stove will be placed In a
corner to keep things warm. There
will be only one door, and that will
open Into a small room, through which
s door will open Into the schoolroom.
This part of the building will be so
arranged that one door must be closed
before the other can be opened. This
Will avoid all draughts.
The school will accommodate fifty
pnpils. Mr. Howland will prospect for
gold while Mrs. Howland teaches the
young idea to shoot.
When Mrs. Howland left her Eastern
home and settled in San Francisco she
became attached to the repertorial
force of the San Francisco Examiner.
Bhe abandoned active newspaper work
alter her marriage. She is a bright
and entertaining writer, and her writ
ten Impressions of the Klondike and
the result of her efforts to establish
the little red schoolhouse on a glacier
will bo awaited with interest as a
unique experiment In education.
Wheels for Women.
The best weight for a woman's
wheel is from twenty to twenty-five
pounds, and the smooth-running qual
ities of all the trustworthy makes have
now reached 60 high a standard of ex
cellence that there Is little choice
among fhc-m. Generally speaking, it
is best to ride as high a frame as pos
sible, so that there need not be many
Inches of : saddlo-post let out above.
Besides the fact that It looks unsightly,
an exposure of five or six inches of
this post tends to make the entire ma
rine lacking In rigidity. Much de
pends upon the proper adjustment of
the saddle, which should be perfectly
norrizontul, tipped neither to the front
nor to the rear, and placed Just high
inough to allow the leg to be almo3t
straightened when the pedal Is at its
owest point There are many excellent
saddles now made upon the most ap
proved hygienic principles, and as
soon as a woman finds one which is
comfortable, she need look no further.
The handlebars of the machine should
be well raised, so that the rider may
sit erect, and the handles should not
De too far apart. If there Is plenty of
apace between the bars and the saddle,
mounting and dismounting w ill be ren
dered much easier. The average wo
man had better not undertake to ride
with a gear higher than sixty-six or
sixty-eight, because If she does, sho
will liud that the extra amount of
force which she has to put Into every
push of the pedals is more exhausting
than the process of making a few more
revolutions with less effort in each
one. So much for the wheel Itself.
Adella K. llialuerd, in the Independ
ent. Not Strong Tea.
tSInce doctors Inveigh strongly
against what they call the tea habit,
it is Interesting to read from an au
thority that the beverage to bo served
at afternoon receptions should not be
strong.
One-half a teaapoonful to one cup of
Miled water Is considered a good pro
portion. Where a particularly choice
flavor is desired those who make the
concoction of tea a study claim that
tt can only be seiurea by mending three
or four, or even more, brands together.
Connoisseurs, however, and by con
olaseurs is meant those gent-le dames
who give the most careful attention to
all the niceties of hospitality, even to
the simple thing of offering a cup of
tea, still cling to the brew from Orange
Pekoe, claiming that no brand quite
equals this in delicacy and richness of
Savor combined.
BervHiita In Jupuii.
Servants are very cheap and very
good in Japan. The foreign housewife
bas nothing to do and she lives like a
jueen. The Japanese cooks are far bet
ter than most American cooks, and $20
a month will pay the board and sala
ries of the help of an eight-room house.
A certain foreign resident in Tokio,
who lives as well as a millionaire In the
United States, pays his cook $5 a
month, liis butler gets $2.50 and his
gardener and second girl get about the
same. These servants all board them
selves and the cook does the market
ing. The house rent costs less than $20
a month, and a coachman could be had
at $5 a month more. There is no trou
ble In getting good servants, and they
watch after thler employer's interests
and see that he Is cheated by none oth
er than themselves.

A TALK ON SPIDERS.
The Female I Much Larger and Often
Muki'a Meal of the Male.
Margaret Wentworth Lelghton has
been spending considerable time study
ing spiders, and the results of her stu
dies are embodied In the artlclo she
contributes to the Popular Science
Monthly. According to her the spider
Is deserving of more attention than It
receives, especially as It Is more skill
ful than man. This Is shown In the
fact that the spider's thread Is used
In the telescope because man has been
unable to manufacture one so delicate.
As a rule the female spider Is much
larger and stronger than the male. The
husband's place as the weaker vessel
Is clearly shown by the fact that af
ter the honeymoon, which Is always
brief, the bride dines off the groom and
his career ends. In the case of
spiders, the husband literally supports
his family.
Spiders differ materially In character,
habits, tastes and size. Some prefer to
live In houses or cellars, and never
seek the. sunlight, others live under
water all their lives, while others bur
row in the earth like moles. Many
ipklers never leave-their webs, but wait
for their prey, while others go boldly
forth and attack what they may find
that will serve for food. The moBt ad
venturous spiders construct a sort of
balloon from their webs and then sail
away through the air, trusting to fate
to land them In a desirable spot.
There are many Instances of spiders
that loved music. One lived for a long
time In the room where the boy Bee
thoven practiced, and It was noticed
that when he played his beloved violin
the spider knocked off work and did
not resume again until the music
ceased.
The spinning apparatus by which the
spider constructs its web Is one of the
most delicate instruments ever created.
The splnarets, or spinners, are little or
gans at the rear end of the body. Each
has a number of very minute holes la
It and through these holes the silk
Bowes In liquid form, hardening as
soon as It meets the air. The strands
from several holes unite and form
what Is called the spider's thread.
The common garden spider, which
makes a net of typical shape and some
times of large size, excercises the ut
most care In its construction, and uses
two uorts of silk. One is smooth and
the other is covered with a sticky sub
stance. In moving about on the web
the spider Is careful to walk on the
smooth silk, where there is no danger
Df becoming entangled In the snare in
tended for unwary Hies.
About one hundred and fifty years
ago a Frenchman, M. Le Bon, made
some stockings, purges and gloves of
the webs of spiders, and some years
ago the Empress of Brazil presented a
Jress to Queen Victoria, the material
Df which was woven by the spiders of
South America.
Spiders moult several times during
their lives, and ou each occasion come
forth in a grab of a new color. They
are greatly affected by the weather,
and on the approach of a storms take
refuge In a safe spot They have been
known to hide in this way before there
were any indications of the approach
ing storm discernible to man.
Spiders receive a great deal of con
sideration in India, where so many
lumb animals arc treated with con
sideration and even reverence. Chil
dren there keep spiders for pets, and it
is nothing unusual to Bee a little tot
leading an enormous spider by a string
lied around Its body. Such pet spiders
ire fed on worms and Insects and they
readily accocmodate themselves to cap
tivity and take food from the hand.
Canplttor In Street Cnra.
The arrest and fine of an influential
and defiant spltter In one of the street
cars of San Francisco Is a striking
moans of educating the public in mat
ters of health and decency. Consider
ing the few offenders who are punish
ed, and the vast number of tranagres
lors who escape, there is a great deal
it missionary work to be accomplished.
In our own model city, where the
anti-spitting boom took its first round
nto favor, the nuisance of promiscuous
spitting is almost as bad as ever. The
health board notices do no good what
ever. If more arrests were made, it
would bring the matter of violation of
the ordinance most directly and most
forcibly to the attention of the people.
A good way to start an efficient cru
sade against the spitters would be a
letail of policemen In citizens clothes,
who should disperse on certain car
:ines and should immediately arrest ev
ery offender caught in the act. One
Dfficer in one car of each of the differ
ent companies could make a record
which would astonish the public and
create a proper sentiment accordingly.
There Is no reason also, for the con
venience of such Invalids as must ex
pectorate, that properly disinfected
suspldores should not be provided la
some out-of-the-way corner of the con
veyance, or in the larger cars that some
spitting closet should not be set apart
.'or the spitters. The trouble of getting
up to expectorate would oftentimes as
effectually settle the question to spit or
not to spit, as It would to choose or
no the back of the neck of a standing
passenger in a packed cable car. Ex
change. Lincoln h a Young Lawyer.
Some of the most amusing anecdotes
are told about President Lincoln, re
lating to Incidents of his life when he
was a young lawyer practising In the
courts of Illinois. It Is said that be
was once engaged In a case in which
the lawyer on the other side made a
very voluable speech, full of wild state
ments to the Jury. Lincoln opened bis
reply by saying:
"My friend, who has Just spoken to
you, would be all right if It were not
for one thing, and I don't know that
you ought to blume him for that, for
he can't help It. What I refer to is his
reckless statements without anyground
of truth. You have seen instances of
this in his speech to you. Now, the rea
son of this lies In the constitution of
liia mind. The moment he begins to
talk, all his mental operations ceasu,
End he is not responsible. He Is, in
fact, much like a little steamboat that
I saw on the 8angamon River when I
was engaged in boating there. This lit
tle steamer had a five-foot boiler and
i swen-foot whistle, and every time it
whistled the engine stopped."
NEW INVENTIONS.
With the use of a new wash boiler
It is not ueccFsary to scrub the clothes
hard, the dirt being largely removed
by the action of the water In the boiler,
a series of pipes extending down
through the boiler Into the stove to
force the water out onto the clothes as
it becomes healed.
Clothes-pins are now being manu
factured which have the opening to
grip the lino placed in the side of the
pin instead of in tho end, so that the
pin can be attached to the line by
pulling down instead of pushing, the
Jaw on one side being elongated so as
to be grasped by the hand.
Medicine which tastes bad can bo
easily taken by means of a newly de
vised glass, which has a partition in
the centre to separate the medicine
from a liquid to wash It down, the par
tition preventing the two from mixing
and allowing the wash to flow out by
tipping tho glass higher up.
Magazine lead pencils are being plac
ed on the market, the lead being di
vided into short sections, each of which
has a point, and as soon as one Is
worn down it Is slipped from the Jaw
and another drops down Into place, the
tnagazlno bring reloaded through the
Jaws when it becomes empty.
For the purpose of removing horses
from burning buildings a new fire
marie has been placed on the market,
consisting of a hood to cover the eyes
and nostrils to prevent the horse from
seeing tho fire or smelling the smoke,
the device being easily (dipped over the
animal's head and fastened with a
strap.
A new portable sawing machine for
felling trees and cutting them up into
wood has a folding frame with a largo
balance wheel geared to a crank-shaft
with the saw blade attached to the
end of the crank to slide through
grooves in the frame, tho saw being
run by a crank ou the other end of the
shaft.
Fires can be easily kindled by means
cf a new Invention, which consists of
a couple of hollow .bricks, which cau
be attached to each other after being
filled with abestos, when they are
placed in a pail containing oil to ab
sorb a sufficient quantity to Ignite the
fire when a match ij applied to tho
bricks.

cently patented n long, narrow st is
formed to discharge the paint with an
air outlet above and one below to
spread tho paint over the surface as It
liows from the reservoir attached to
the nozzle, the air boins supplied
through tubes by bellows or an casino
on the ground below.
Electricity for medicinal purposes
can be easily generated by a new In
strument shaptd like a watch and
nearly the same size, containing a
magnet and two coil-3 of wire attach
ed to a spindle, r.car the ends of the
magnet, the spindle being revolved by
means of a coiled spring, which is
wound by the stem of the watch.

GOOD PORTS
In the ricUlhi f Curiiuiher a n Win
ter Crop.
Forcing vegetables under glass In
winter has been abundantly proved to
be profitable. On account of the great
competition In producing pickling cu
cumbers In summer, and because they
are not Kcncral'.y grown In winter, I
believe good profits are open to thost?
who will successfully produce them un
der glnr;s. The prlcc3. realized in win
ter will be larger than In summer, and
the production In a forty-foot green
houso will, with proper cultivation, ex
ceed that of a quarter acres cultivated
In summer. The gherkin Is more pro
ductive than the English cucumber, and
the exhaustion of tho vines Is less be
cause the crop Is gathered when the
fruit is quite small.
A narrow commercial greenhouse
with benches on eachfelde and an even
span roof Is the proper structure for
the purpose. The benches should be
ten inches in depth and three or four
feet wide; here one line of plants, two
feet apart Is sufficient, and light wire
strung across the house from the gut
ter beam to the ridge, and down again
to the opposite gutter beam will Berve
ns a frame for the vines. The wires
twelv elnches apart should be twelve
Inches from the glass at each side,
and eighteen Inches in the centre.
The proper soil is a rich sandy loam
from an old pasture, one part to three
of well-rotted manure, and one part
to twelve of crushed bones, one-quarter-inch
size, all to be well mixed to
gether. On the bottom of the benches
place three Inches of well-rotted ma
nure, pounded down firmly, and on this
manure make hills two feet apart and
even with the top of benches, using the
prepared soil and also covering the ma
nure to about one Inch with tho same.
The house will then be ready to receive
the plants.
For early winter use seed is to be
sown early In September. The plants
may be raised either In a covered
frame, or in the house where they are
to be grown. For starting the plants
have some finely-sifted soil, sowing the
seeds in three-inch pots, first placing
in the bottom of each pot the well-rot-ted-manure.
Fill the pots one-third up
with tho prepared soli, tow three seeds
In cai'i rot, cover with soil, and

The crop report Just issued by the
United States Department of Agricul
ture shows ns a whole that prospects
for peaches, apples and grapes are not
so good as they were tho same time
last year.
With few exceptions, the reports on
the peach crop are unfavorable. In
New York it le said to be in rather
poor condition; in New Jersey not
very good; in Pennsylvania only mod
erate; In Delaware less than ten per
cent, of the average crop; In Maryland
a small crop; In Georgia less than half
a crop; in Kentucky average below last
year; in Ohio almost an entire failure.
The peach crop of Arkansas, on tho
other hand, Is reported as good; the
California crop fair; the Washington
crop never better, and that of Oregon
more promising than it was last sea
son. Of apples It Is said that the crop. is
below the average, except in the far
West and on the Pacific Coast. From
all the North Atlantic States tho re
ports are more or less unfavorable. In
Ohio tho fruit is dropping off badly,
and indications are that the present
condition of forty-six per cent, will
prove to be too high rather than too
low. Mlchigr.n has an average of
only fifty-three as compared with ninety-nine
at this timo last year.
As to grapes, the crop In New York
Is said to be In poor condition; that of
New Jersey fairly good; the crop of
Pennsylvania only moderate; while
the crop In Delaware is generally fine?
grapes in Virginia are reported as
abundant and free from rot so far; in
Georgia the crop promises well; Ken
tucky reports the grape crop in good
condition; Ohio, as having suffered
less thun other fruits, but still not In
dicating an unusually large yield; in
Indiana the crop has been Injured by
late frost; Missouri, nearly a normal
crop of good quaiity; Kansas, the crop
is very satisfactory; Nebraska, above
the average, both as to yield and qual
ity. The Canadian Apple Crop.
As the reports given us by differ
ent parties agree in the main, we
publish them with greater Confidence as
affording a pretty accurate Idea of the
yield. In the majority of the orchards
west of Toronto as far as St. Cather
ines, the prospects favor a good crop
of Greeplngs and Northern Spies, the
fruit having a clean and fine appear
ance; but red fruit, such as Baldwins,
are a comparative failure. WeBt of'
St. Catherine a moderately good crop
of Greenings is promised and a fair
yield cf Spies with a good sprinkling
of Russets. There Is the same paucity
of red apples In these sections as notic
ed between St. Catherines and Hamil
ton .and in sections north and north
west of Toronto. East of Toronto, as
far as Brockvllle, there will be a fair
crop of green fruit, and In some or
ehprde n pood sprinkling of red fruit
Is observable. Montreal Trade Bulle

Four lien Arrested by Coroner Shindel
in Shamokin-
On Thursday afternoon Coroner
Dr. W. L. Shindel, of Sunbury, was
in Shamokin investigating the murder
of Frank Kuntz. He boarded in Mt.
Carmel and his dead body was found
along the railroad track on Sunday
morning September 26. At first it
was supposed that he had attempted
to jump a train going from Shamokin
to Mt. Carmel and fell under. He
was a "former resident of Brady and
left that place for Mt. Carmel last
spring. Paul Mazakeewide, Mike
Erlis, Sylvester Baulovlck and An
tonio Erlis have beeu arrested for the
crime. They were given a hearing
on Thursday. The evidence shows
that the men were with Kuntz on
Saturday evening, and it was discov
ered that a fight had taken place at a
little gully near the railroad track and
that the men had carried him to the
track after he. had been killed, Maza
keewide had stolen a watch from
Kuntz and $80 in money, and had
often threatened that he would kill
him.
