Trout Eggs for the Fablic Schools
The Pennsylvania fish commission
has prepared a series of trout eggs in
various stages of development for dis-
tribution among the publie schoecls of
he state. The object in preparing
this series is primarily to give assist-
ance to teachers in nature study and
object lesson teaching among the pu-
pils and secondarily to advance the in-
terests of fish culture and protection.
The embryos in the eggs prepared are
plainly visible to the naked eye and
will be sent free, except express charg-
e4 to the cities. Small cities and towns
may be supplied through the state su-
perintendent of education at Harrls-
burg. The commission also announces
that a syllabus for the guidavce of
teachers will be furnished by the as
sistant secretary before the beginning
of autumn season. All applications
must be made immediately to insure
their being filled.

Pruning In Winter,
Some successful fruit growers hold
that fruit trees should not be pruned
in winter, while others pay little atten-
tion to season and “prune when the
knife is sharp.” About one point,
however, there can be no doubt, and
this is that it is not advisable to prune
when the wood is frozen. Other con-
ditions being equal, winter pruning is
practiced by many for the reason that
more time and care can be given to the
work in winter than is practicable in
the hurry of the spring work. Grapes
can be pruned any time during winter.
If the wood is wanted for propagation,
it should be cut just before the severe
frosts arrive.

SUFFOCATED IN A WHEAT BIN,
A Little Son of Harry Long Meets a Peculiar
Death at Spring Mills on Saturday,
A peculiar and fatal accident occur-
red at Spring Mills last Saturday, In
which Clarence, the nine-year-old son
merchant Harry Long, was suffocated
by being drawn under several hun-
dred bushels of wheat while the' coa-
tents of the bin was being drawn off
in loading a car,
The sad accident occurred at Mr,
Long's grain house a short distance
below the station, A car was standing
on the track along side the grain
house, and was to be loaded with
wheat. Clarence was playing about
the grain house with Harry, the ten-
year-old son of railroad section fore-
man J, P. Osman. The little boys
were amusing themselves by jumping
into the wheat bin the contents of
which were being drawn off into the
car on the track outside. The bin con-
tained over six hundred bushels of
wheat, and Ellery Krape, an employe
of Mr. Long, was loading car. While
the wheat was passing out of the bin
into the car, the grain forms a current
and it is supposed little Clarence in his
| play, was caught in this current and
{ held as in a quicksand, his struggles to
extricale himself only tended to draw
him farther down within its deadly
clutches, and he was soon covered
with the moving grain. His play-
mate Harry Osman, endeavored to
rescue Clarence, and was himself
drawn into the current. His cries at-
tracted the attention of Ellery Krape,
who was in the car shaping the wheat.
Krape immediately closed off the sup-
ply of moving grain and called to Mr.
that two boys werein the bin,

They found Harry almost
After considera-
so tightly was he wedged and held by

of two men to extricate him.

School Exercises,
Thursday, Feb. 22, 1900, was & red
letter day in the history of the public
schoajs of Centre Hall. In accordance
with the decision of the Teachers’ and
Directors’ Associations, the pupils of
our schools joined with the hundreds
of children in the county in celebrat-
ing the day. Exercises in commemo-
ration of the noble deeds of the “Fath-
er of his country,” the ‘‘SBavior of his
country,” and the gallant men who
went from Centre county in response
to the call for defenders of the Union,
were held in each room. Programs
consisting of recitations, essays, acros-
tics, interspersed with patriotic songs,
were presented in a very interesting
and attractive manner. All the pupils
acquitted themselves in a highly cred-
itable manner, showing that the pu-
pils of the schools have great talent in
the direction of public speaking, and
that the teachers are doing earnest
work in developing this talent. In
these programs it was not forgotten
that the War Governor of this state
was from this county, and he too had
his share of attention of the speakers.
Very thoroughly did the friends who
braved the inclement weather, enjoy
the eflorts of the children to please,
The school children and their friends
were given an opportunity to show
their patriotism in a practical way by
contributing to the fund belong raised
in the county for the erection of the
monument to Centre county's dead he-
roes. These contributions amounted
to $10.50.

Mr. Rishel’s death was very sudden
and unexpected and wus without any
premonition to his family, He had
been troubled for some time with an
affection of the throat, and during the
past winter whenever he would become
aflected by the cold, he was sure to be
seized with a choking sensationlin the
throat, which for the time gave him
great trouble, Yet at no time was his
ailment considered serious, His health
otherwise was always very good. Yes-
terday morning Mr. Rishel was up and
around feeling as well as usual. The
water trough near the house was fro-
zen over, and Mr, Rishel went out to
break the frozen surface. He had fin.

{ day morning from the effects of a
| stroke of paralysis she received that

i enjoying the best of health for some
time, but her ailment was not of such
a nature as to incapacitate her, and

years ago, and was a very popular and
highly esteemed lady. She was a life

life of true Christian piety. She was

about twenty-five friends arrived at
the home and the Dr, was summoned
on the speedy call that he was needed,
Awaiting him was the supposed vic

ger to relieve his suftering victim, He
entered the dental office when he was
surprised to flod a large waiting list,
He was quickly made aware of the in-
tent of the many guests and heart ily
entered into the spirit of the occasion.
Refreshments were served and the
evening most pleasantly spent, the
Dr. acknowledging that he “was
too old to be fooled by his wife."

Weather Interfered,

Today, J. B. Gentzel is oflering a car
load at public sale. The stock arrived
yesterday from Chicago, and they are

team was sold at $208, which proves
that horses are not a drug on the mark-

the arrival of the doctor. An Albany

store there for a doctor to come and see
his child, then very sick with croup.
Not finding the doctor in, he left word
for him to come at once on his return,
He also bought a bottle of Chamber-

would give some relief until the doo-
tor should arrive. Ina few hours he
returned, saying the doctor need not
come, as the child was much better,
