According to all accounts sports
men next fall will find a scarcity of
quail. The long hard winter with
the two deep snows following each
other in quick succession has given
the poor birds hardly any chance at
all and they have perished by the
thousand. Already, before the last
snow fell their dead bodies were
seen lying among the dead weeds
along the fences. No less than
twenty thousand, it is estimated,
have perished in the Schuylkill
Valley and sportsmen there are
contemplating a restocking of the
valley.
While it is a little early to pre
dict what the fruit yield will be the
next season, as there may be several
cold snaps between this time and
the spring months, yet it is gratify
ing to know that so far the buds of

severe winter weather has not as
yet damaged them in the least. A
well-known peach grower near here
states that after making an examina
tion of the buds he learns that
cherries, peaches and apples, and
in fact all other fruits, will be
plentiful next summer, if nothing
interferes to check their growth.

Under the law application to the
Pennsylvania free library commis
sion from twelve taxpayers in any
town not having library facilities or
in any rural district, will secure
for six months the use of a library
of fifty volumes, covering history,
travel, fiction, useful arts, etc.
Thirty-four of these libraries are
now in circulation and thirty addi
tional ones are being made ready
for early use. Undoubtedly this is
a work of large possibilities in edu
cational usefulness. It is a wonder

do not try to do more for the small

The manufacturers of the "Path
finder" cigar have a novel way of
advertising their products. At the
noon hour Wednesday, a fantasti
cally dressed man, of towering
heighth appeared on the street,
with a bugle and attracted every
body's attention by his extraor
dinary "get up." He was elevated
by means of stilts, and his perfor
mance was most amusing. In the
afternoon he painted a window sign
for Harry Wilson, in a free hand
manner, and with a deftness that
was' wonderful. In the evening he
appeared in front of the Exchange
Hotel, and entertained a good
sized crowd, with bugle calls, witty
sayings and stunts on the stilts.

Distance.
There are some people who can read and sew for almost any length of
time without becoming tired. They do not have headache or any of the usual
symptoms of eye strain. But there distance vision is not good They find it
difficult to read signs distinctly or to recognize people when they meet. This
is a defective condition and should receive professional attention without de
lay. While there seems to be nj symptoms of overwork, the eyes are really
upon a strain almost constantly. They are not in perfect focus and are com
pelled to make an extra effort at all times. This effort will eventually injure
the eyes and the symp.oms ana irritation will appear when it Is too la'e. If
you find that you do not see at a distance as well as you ought to, I want to
see you. I want you to tell me all about your eyes, I will show you glasses
that will make your vision clear and will advise you how to enre for and pre
serve your sight. I do not charge for consultation.
