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.

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

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.

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

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.

A Girl's Twenty Dollar Salary.
"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.
THE VALUABLE MOOSE.
It In the Stuff of Life In the Ureal
Northern \Y 1 Iriernean.
What the buffalo was to the plains,
the white tall deer to the southern
woods and the caribou to the barrens
the moose is to the great northern belt
of swamp and timber land of British
America.
It Is the creature that enables the na
tives to live at all. Assisted in warm
weather by various llsh, It bears prac
tically the burden of their support. 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. When dyed with na
tive dyes aud skillfully worked Into
leather and birch bark, these bristles
are as effective as porcupine quills and
are, Indeed, often mistaken for them
by the unskilled.—Ernest Thompson Se

Mow Tortoise Shell la Worked.
The soldering of two pieces of tor
toise shell together Is effected by
means of hot pinchers, which, while
they compress, soften the opposed edge
of each piece and amalgamate them
into oue. Even the raspings and pow
der produced by the file, mixed with
small fragments, are put into molds
and subjected to the action of boiling
water and thus made Into plates of the
desired thickness or into various arti
cles which appear to have been cut out
« aolld block.
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. This improvement, the inven
tion of General Mackay, an English
olHcer, was introduced into the Trench
urmy by Vauban in 1703. lly the Eug
lisli themselves It was uot adopted un
til after the battle of Fontenoy (1745),
where the advantages Its use conferred
on the French were ouly too painfully
manifest, the Duke of Cumberland's
army being defeated with the lott of
l&flOO nun. -
