In the thady thicket robin hides -away, Grasshopper and cricket drowsy con certs Play. By the roadside linger little brown bare feet, ' Little thumb and finger pull the ber ties sweet. Butterflies are splendid, katydid is 'here, Summer's almost drawing near. Remember the woman's epitaph: what she couldn't. An easy and convenient way to remove the silk from sweet orm is to use a small vegetable scrub Hffush. If any member of the family is very sick at the stomach, teat up the white of an eg p; and let him swallow it. It acts like a charm. In making marmalades 'and but ters of peaches, plums and like fruits, leave a few seeds in while cooking, and you will find that the fruit is less apt to stick tc the kettle and burn. Raspberries should never be set away in a bowl or deep dish, where the berries will be crowded together. Instead, spread them on platters or large plates, and they will keep longer and in better condition. If apiece of glass -or any sub stance having sharp edges or points be accidentally swallowed, chewing and swallowing a considerable quan tity of fresh slipneryfdm bark may cause the foreign body to pass through the intestines without in jury to their .coats. If you feel that ycu have a cold coming on, start for the camphor bottle, sit down and soak a clean handkerchief with canphor, hold it to your nose and sniff it long and deeply. Keep right at it for five minutes, aud then have another, spell of it titer weiting a little while. This will cftcn break ups' hard cold. Corn drops are delicious; try' some. Use half a -.dozen ears of, young, juicy vcorn. ecore the grains with a sharp knife, after having trimmed off tbe ieaat bit of the sur-i face of each grain, then scrape all the corn from the cob with the' back of the knife. . Add salt and one egg, the white ani yolk beaten; separately. Drop in spoonfuls on either a' hot ibake iron or frying uan; diu id .eimer case use no more fat than is just accessary to grease it. Have the pan oniron hot and oake like griddle cakes, turning wnen a golden brown underneath, From August Fcrm Journal, that need men trained in agr'cal ture. An illustration is found in the instance ot our one agricultural col lege in Pennsylvania, Withiu the last year or two one member of the faculty of this school of agriculture has withdrawn to accept a position with a commercial concern produc ing high grade milk, and he is now getting five thousand dollars a year. A scientist in The Department of Animal Husbandry has been secur ed by China r.t a salary three times as great as the Pennsylvania School of Agriculture was able to pay him. He left lor Mukden, Manchuria, the last of June to assist in estab lishing aT experiment station there. Another member of the faculty, Prof. Jthu VV. Gilinore, has been chosen president of the college at Hawaii at Honolulu, and the salary paid asm will be nearly double that which he has been receiving at State College. Another young man in this faculty left to become a farm manager at $1,600 a year. No solution to the dog question yet.

San Francisco has also entered on a battle royal against the pests. Since the devastating earthquake of April, 100 , the city has been fairly over run iiy rats, and so unbearable has the situation become In Its menace to healt chiefly because of the spread of bubonic plague, that the municipal authorities recently offered a bounty rf TO cents a head for female rats killed and 26 cents a head for males. It was Mr. Zuschlag, a distinguish ed civil engineer c. Copenhagen, who first descried the rat peril and In eloquent accents warned his fellow countrymen against the danger to fthelr pockets and their persons of longer supinely submitting to pay the onerous rat tribute He pointed out that the rat kingdom yearly raised a a tax of two million dollars upon .ho Industries of tho country, while tho Indirect losses, the exact figures of which cannot be ascertained, are, as he demonstrated, clearly enormous. it is no longer as U once was. a crusade of Individuals, but. one which has received the sanction of law and of parliament A State grant for a large sum was voted out of which two cents Is paid for every rat tall produced. An extra levy of about a dollar upon every commun ity of one hundred Inhabitants has also been ordered to enrich the cru- Bade, and this they will each and every one have to pay until the he Inspector of the rat control service d clares the neighborhood free of rod ents. The flgur i by which Mr. Zuschltg has at last proved to the satisfaction of his countrymen and the law met ers of his native land that the losa by ratt In Denmark alone amounts to over two million dollars eheiiid prove mighty Interesting reading in thes days of hard times ani urgent retrenchment. To begin with,, Mr. Zuschlag makes no attempt to ettl mate the damage to the field crops, but merely seeks to find out the di.m ago done to the grain after 1t is housed In the granaries and man oc31s It his own.

The astonishing fact that rn Uhe Vienna mint the leaden walls of ien ervoir containing sudphurlc aedd. .al though about 1.7 inches thick, were eaten through by an Insect; that ithe leaden gas pipe in the cafe was also damaged In a like manner, and that also In the sulphuric acid factory in Nusedorf the wall of the lead cham ber was found to contain defetrtc from tne same cause, fcas recently U v traded attention to the damages .done by insects both t wood uwl t onetal, says a writer in the scientific Aii.erlcan. Such damages are due to . so-'; of wood wasp, vt which there r many sorts in central Europe. The largest tf these, Hte black and yellow giant wood wasp, resemblec tbe truo wasp, wtiich Is eo feared toe auBe of its sting; but (dose observa tion shows it to be very Clfferent. Its ureaHi una neuy are Domed by a widn connecting piece, whereas in tile case of the real wasp the "waist" fa !jroverblaJly sma.lL On the under slieiol the elongated betjy, the f ma.le.&.a8 a very hard boring device, airoi . 'three-fourths of an nch long. Ordinarily this borer is directed back ward; but when in use It 4a turned about iluc base, so as to mako a con siderable angle with the axils of the body aud is used like a rat-tall file until It uaakes a hole about seven tent ha f .n inch deep ia tbe wood which t usually chooses to perforate. The egg ovhlch the female lays In the wood develops into a caterpillar like creature with six Bhort lege, and without eyes. With its sirttrp, hard jaws, it bites Into the trunk of a tree tubular chan nels, which liiorease In diameter as the wasp grows larger. It swallcws the wood whldi It gnaws off, diges ting the nutritious portions and dis charging the rest In a meal-like for a. For two years It .eats its way for ward In this man&er. In the third yettr the insect creeps out, biting with its i&wn through the thin wall which separates it from tbe outer world, leaving the home of its child hood to enter upon a short life In freedom. Should a tree trunk which has bon perforated by such a wasp, and in which an egg has been laid', be employed when Insufficiently sea soned for building' purposes, It may happen that some day tbe Insect, which has been two years working Its way through tbe piece, will sud denly appear In the building. If a piece of such timber which contains a I.-rva, is surrounded by a leadsa plate, the Insect will not stop at this, but will bite Its way through just as though it ware of wood, SHERIFF'S SALK. lty virtue of a writ of Fieri Facias is sued out of the Court of Common Pleas of Columbia County, Pennsylvania, and to me directed, there will be sold at pub lic sale on the premises of the within described property, in the Borough of Ccntralin, County and State aforesaid, on SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 1908 at 1 1 o'clock a. m. the following describ ed real estate, to wit : The sunace of all that certain lot or piece of ground situate in the Borough of Centralia, laid out by the Locust Mountain Ooal and Iron Company in Columbia CoiMty, in the State of Penn sylvania, bounded and described as fol lows : Beginning on tho east side of Locust Avenue, tlie.icc along said Avenue south three degrees cast (S 3 H) twenty-five (25) feet, thence north eighty-seven de grceseast (N 870 E) one hundred and for ty (140) feet to an alley, thence along said alley north three degrees west (N 30 W) twtr.ty-hve (45) feet; thence south eigli ty-seve.i degrees west (b 07" W ; one hundred ard forty (140) feet to the place ot beginning ana bcinir the lot whicli marked in the general plan of said town of Centralia with the Number Four A) in Hlock Number One Hundred and Ixghteun (U8), and being the same premises which the Locust Mountain Coal and Iron Company by its Indenture maue tne sist clay ot September A. u 1865 and recorded at Bloomsburg, Pcnn nylvania, in Deed Book No. Seventy Seven (77) at page two hundred and fo.ty-seven (247) Ate, granted and con veyed to I nomas Horan and the same which Thomas Horan by his Indenture dated the 87th of November A.
