Chai rma n . VOTE TOMORROW. Tomorrow, (Saturday) the Demo cratic voters of Montour county will practically select our next officials, who will take charge of the different responsible positions of the county and manage the affairs good or bad, as the case may be; they will also de clare their best convictions for con gressman, state senator and president judge. It is ut the primaries where the greatest attention should centre, and every good citizen ought not leave anything stand between him and this most important event. Not only should it he his duty to vote, but lie should urge all others of his friends to do the same, and select well their man, then, and then only can we look for pure government. Again we say study the man and he sure to vote tomorrow. —llox. WM. T. C'KKASY, of C'ata wissa, gave us a pleasant call Monday afternoon, and renewed his subscrip tion to the Intelligencer. Mr. Creasv is one of Pennsylvania's leading citi zens, and has done much good for the Stale in the great reform movement. He is a candidate for the nomination of member of the legislature, which office he has filled so admirably, but many of his friends insist that he ac cept the candidacy of Auditor General, lie is undecided as to which he will aspire to but believes he could do more good as Member, for he is more thoroughly acquainted with the work ings of that body. If perfect harm ony exists at the Slate convention, and they still insist that he shall have higher | olitical honors there is no doubt that he will bow to the will of the many. The Prohibitionists of the State have already named him as their best choice for that office. None are more sincere and active for good than our friend, Mr. Creasy, and we would, therefore, urge that our State Democracy act wisely and by all means endeavor to do tiie right thing at the right time. To the Voters of (he 26th., Judicial District. By reason of an injury to my ankles sustained in a runaway accident on the 21st inst., it will be impossible forme to make a complete canvas for the judicial nomination. I will be out again in a short time and resume canvassing. If I should fail to see all the voters, I trust the circumstances will be considered. Soliciting your support upon the issue of a fair and impartial court for all the people, I am, Sincerely Yours, JOHN G. HARMAN. Columbia County Judgeship. Editor of The Beoord : In the editorial column of your is sue of May 11) you state that "The Record" has received a communica tion from an old-time Democrat in dorsing the candidacy of Hon. Grant Merrill); for the Democratic nomiua tiou as Judge of the Oolumbia-Mon tour district. Your article concludes with the following statement: "Of his (Herring's) faithful Democracy there can be uo question." Evidently this old-time Democrat is uot very familiar with Mr. Herring's past record. Instead of his Democracy being beyond question, the people of Columbia couuty kuow that for the past ten years the faithfulness of his Democracy lias been questioned or denied by every one familiar with the facts of his political life. While Mr. Herring was an office holder, seokiug still further prefer ment, ho was an active worker, speak er aud campaigner in the cause of Democracy. But after he rotired from office his Democracy took a sudden turn for the worse. Iu the first Bryan campaign tie openly opposed the regu lar nominee aud positively refused to take the stump or co-operate with the Democratic organization, national, state or local. Again in 1900, when Bryan was nominated for the second time, Mr. Herring declined to assist in any way. When Hon. O. R Buck alew was defeated for Congress in the Seventeenth district by Monroe H. Kulp, Mr. Herring's sympathies were against the nominee of his party, aud ho refused to speak or assist in any effort to elect him. Tiie same thing might he said of his attitude toward the late Robert E. Pattison in his last Gubernatorial campaign. Every voter familiar with the political history of Columbia county knows that for the past ten years, and until the present Judge fight assumed proportions, Mr. Herring has neglected and positively refused to speak or work iu furtherance of the cause of Democracy, or to loud his aid iu any way to the advance ment of his party interest and his sud den regeneration when again seeking office at the bauds of Democrats, does uot tend to inspire confidence in his "faithful Democracy." Permit me to add a word as to Mr. Herring's opponent for the Judgeship, Hou. Johu O. Harman. For nearly eleveu years Mr. Harmau was the Dis trict Attorney of Columbia county. His record iu that office was not mere ty respectable, but be displayed au earnestness of purpose, a legal ability, md a spirit of fairness and impartial ity that was altoghter remarkable. Iu the Legislature of Pennsylvania his honorable record is known all over the State. He is not as old as Mr. Herring, but iu point of judicial tem perament, clear and deliberate judge ment and legal ability tie will more than outrank his opponent. COLUMBIA COUNTIAN. Bloomsburg, Pa., May 23, 1906. It From Philadelphia Becord. SCHUYLER. MB. EDITOB: —The long drought is broken at last,and it came none too soon. The hay crop is likely to be considerably short as it is. Timothy will still make a fair growth but clover is too late. Oats were suffer ing and in some cases showed signs of dying but now they are coming out in good shape. Lots of corn would not iiave come up without rain. Some fields that were planted early arc showing up well. Wheat is heading but the straw is short; the rain will cause it to fill well. Cherries will be a light crop. It is thought they were frozen. It is a little early yet to foim an estimate of the apple crop. There were plenty blossoms if that may be taken as an indication. John M. Smith is attending court this week as a Grand Juryman. Mr. Ralph Irwin spent Sunday his brother, Schuyler, at Susquehanna University, at Selinsgeove, returning on Monday. Mrs. B. B. Buyer, lately of this place, but a resident in Milton, died last Saturday night. She leaves a husband anil three children. It has been remarkably cool since the rains. It is clear and is cold enough to produce frost if the wind should fall during the night. J. X. Herr had a busy day last Friday when he loaded two cars with corn and handled a lot of oats. He also loaded a car of hay since that time. Johnnie, I won't say anything on the political question, as it is too late in the season. We will all goto the primaries on Saturday and vote for the best man. The real estate ot George Frey, lately deceased was put up at public sale last Friday and sold. The home was bought by Charles Bortz for 81050, a tract of six acres lying in North'd county was sold to Mrs. B. F. Stahluecker fur 8325, and another tract of four acres was sold to John X. Herr for SISO. There's lots of kicking in this town ship over the road taxes. Notices have been mailed to the tax payers and everybody finds himself charged with about or nearly one half more than last year, i think there would not be a protest from anybody if the infernal law was wiped out. Perhaps we had better turn our farms over to the county and let the raxes be taken out of the proceeds and if anything is left lhe owner might take that for his share. Everything goes for taxes any way. Mrs. Grittner is a woman of re markable vitality when her age is considered. She is eighty years old aud dug her garden and planted it herself this spring. She lives aloue in the house occupied by herself and hushaud who died several years ago. She looks after cows, chickens, &c., and frequently visits a neighbor and looks after her welfare. She aud her husband emigrated to thi9 country from Germany a good many years ago and raised quite a family of chil dren, most, if not all, living aud mar ried. Despite her age she is quite active.

Boyer, candidate for Sheriff, was in town last week. Earl Wagner wears a broad smile. It's a boy who came to stay. [ John Lauterbox thinks our old war horse is not fast enough for those swift runners down there at Danville. But John will see when the votes are counted that Lloyd is not running for the fun but he is running to win and ami win big too. We think Lloyd has always stuck to the Democratic party and when defeated did not kick over the trace but worked for his party's interest. Two of his oppon ents are now holding positions under a Republican administration. Several couples attended the dance at P. M. Snyder's last Friday even ing. The Shadow Social held by the C. E. Society at this place was largely attended. Isaac Acor, P. F. Brannen, Gideon Hartman and Daniel Boniboy are at tending court this week at Danville.

THE BIRD OF DEATH. It la the Only Venomoui Member of the Feathered Tribe. Among all the thousands of feathered creatures classified by the trained or nithologists but one, the rpir n'doob, or "bird of death," is known to be ven omous. This queer and deadly species of the winged and feathered tribe is a native of the island of Papua, or New Guinea. The bird is described as be lng about the size of a common tame pigeon, of gray plumage and a tall of extraordinary length, ending in a tip of brilliant scarlet red. It is a marsh bird and is found to inhabit only the Immense stagnant pools adjoining the lakes of tlie interior of the island. The rplr has a hooked beak as sharp as a cock's spur and hollow. The venom with which it inoculates is distilled in a set of organs which nature has pro vided for that purpose and which lie in the upper mandible, Just below the openings of the nostrils. Under this poison secreting laboratory In the roof of the mouth is a small fleshy knob. When the bird sets its beak in the flesh of a victim this knob receives a pressure which liberates the venom and inoculates the wound. No man, native or otherwise, was ever known to recover from a bite Inflicted by a rplr n'doob. The suffering in such cases is said to be much more agoniz ing than in cases of rattlesnake and Gila monster bites. CHINESE ART IN STONE. Its Beat IZxnmplea and Some of Ita Ureateat Defecta. The spirit of purely Chinese art in stone is shown in work such as the great monolith figures of animals and warriors which flank the approach to the tombs of the Ming dynasty and in the perfectly plain structures designed for the tombs of the present dynasty. These are composed of enormous blocks <#f stone brought with Infinite labor from distant quarries over roads and bridges which are hardly capable of sustaining ordinary cart traffic and have always to be specially prepared to prevent the great weights causing their collapse. The same admiration for the employ ment of huge blocks of stone Is seen in the case of the bridges over the riv ers along the coast of South Fukien, where the stone slabs used in fie con struction occasionally measure sixty feet iu length and are estimated to weigh nearly 120 tons, aud the bridges themselves have a length of 1,000 to 2,000 yards. In almost all cases, where the build ings are not of solid construction the weight of the blocks employed lias placed a strain upon the supports which the architect's skill was not competent to provide against, and with the lapse of tlmo the melancholy spectacle is seen of slabs fallen from their places and of noble and costly structures approaching ruin. In some cases the interdependence of the arches leads to the same result. One notable instance of this occurred during Colonel Gor don's campaign against the Talpings, when to allow of the passage of his small steamers it was necessary to make a gap in a bridge of over twenty arches, and arch after arch collapsed immediately after the passage of his small flotilla. London Saturday Re view. AVERAGE HUMANITY. iloat PeopiV Are Not Very Good No* Yet Very Bad. What do we mean by a good man or a bad one, a good woman or a bad one? Most people, like the young man in the song, are "not very good, nor yet very bad." We move about the pas tures of life in huge herds, and all do the same things at the same times and for the same reasons. "Forty feeding like one." Are we mean? Well, we have done some mean things in our time. Are we generous? Occasionally we are. Were we good sons or dutiful daughters? We have both honored and dishonored our parents, who in their turn had done the same by theirs. Do we melt sight of misery? Indeed we do. Do we forget all about it when tve have turned the corner? Frequently that is so. Do we expect to be put to open shame at the great day of Judg ment? We should be terribly frighten ed of this did we not cling to the hope that amid the shocking revelations then for the first time made public our little affairs may fail to attract much notice. Judged by the standards of humani ty, few people are either good or bad. "I have not been a great sinner," said the dying Nelson; nor had he—he had only been made a great fool of by a woman. Mankind Is all tarred with the same brush, though some who chance to be operated upon when the brush is fresh from the barrel get more than their share of the tar. The biography of a celebrated man usually reminds me of the outside of a coast guards man's cottage—all tar and whitewash. —Essays of Augustine Birrell. ltuakln'a Whimalon 11 ty.

"After all is said and done, twenty dollars a week is 110 mean competence for an independent woman," says Miss Harriet Martin, writing in the NEW IDEA WOMAN'S MAGAZINE for June 011 "Spending a Twenty Dollar Salary." She goes onto show what may be done and how a girl may live on this amount. Her first girl is starting from the beginning and spends 8150 on furniture out of her yearly one thousand and'forty dollars, 8120 on clothes, 8216 ou food and gas, S27G on rent, 835 ou amuse ments and 8100 on incidentals, and saves the remaining 8143. Miss Martin's women readers who them selves earn twenty dollars a week or more will doubtless differ greatly in opiuion as to the fundamental recti tude of this division. As for those who earn less than this amount, they will doubtless declare that here is no "problem at all—-that the real crux of the question arises when food, rent, clothing aud incidentals have to be met out of a weekly salary of 81'), 810, or even less. IMITATIVE FLOWERS. The Caricature Plant Is Out ot Bra ■ it's Peculiar Groivthi, The Brazilian flower known as the running antelope is so called because its white petals have a series of well defined, dark colored lines and dot# in which the imagination can readily trace the form of an antelope, with its limbs outstretched and head thrown back, seemingly fleeing for Its life. In the "caricature plant" one species has the imitative form on the petals, an other has it outlined in the ribs and shading of the ribs. This last men tioned curiosity bears a remarkably ; well executed likeness of the Duke of Wellington and has ou that account been named Arthur and His Nose. Among the orchids the imitative form is entirely different in character, being exhibited in the shape of the flower itself. Some are exact counter- j felts of bees, butterflies, moths, etc., while others take upon themselves the form of worms aud beetles. Natural ists believe that iu the first instance it is nature's trap to lure other bees, feioths and butterflies, but in the case of the worm and beetle orchids or those that are exact counterparts of toads, lizards and huge spiders they do not attempt to explain.

Its delicious steaks are their staple food, but Its nose or muzzle Is a delicacy. Its hide furnishes the best clothing and moccasin leather or provides snow shoes that enable the hunter tj kill more moose. Its back sinew Is the sew ing thread of the country. Its horns and bones make tools, Its hoofs can be con verted into rattles, and its coarse, bris tly mane, six Inches iong and white ex cept the tips, furnishes raw material for embroidery.

Bvolntlon of the Bayonet. The sweynes-fcather (hog's bristle), which seems to have been the original prototype of the bayonet, was a long rapier blade, fixed in o handle and car ried In a sheath, which was given to a musketeer for defense after he had dis charged his piece. Stuck by Its handle in the muzzle of his gun, it constituted a very efficient weapon for acting against pikeinen. To'diminish his in cumbrance Ihe sweynes-feather and musket rest were combined, the latter forming a sheath for the former, in the reign of James I. Toward the latter part of the civil war the use of the musket rest was aban- 1 doned, and it became the practice to stick the dagger by its handle into the muzzle of the piece after discharging It. In 1089 two rings were added bj which the bayonet was placed on the muzzle without interfering with the firing.
