Signs of Spring In this Middle States location March as a spring month is not an en tire success. Its earl}- days are likely to be as wintry as the coldest of Febru ary, and it is safer to expect a blizzard than a zephyr, any time. Yet there is something of apring to be noted, even when deep frost holds the ground from tihe spade and while the furnace yet yawns for the last remaining shovelfuls of the coal supply that was so surely to last the winter through. Look at the upturning tips of the horse chestnut twigs and note there a shiny, smooth coating over the fat ter minal buds that may even be sticky to the touch—if you can touc-h it. If you had looked in February, you would have seen just the same bud's, but not so shiny-sticky and not quite so large. They are getting ready for the spring jump. The lilac buds are worth close in spection. They, too, are fat and plump, where they are to be flowers rather than leaves, and, while they have been plump all winter, they are just a bit softer, looser and seemingly riper. They are ready as well for the impending event—the whole joyous resurrection that makes a northern spring something so luxuriant, so splen did, so sweet that the visitor from a Legal NOTICE Is hereby Riven that applica tion will he made to the Governor of the Common wealth of Pennsylvania, 011 Thursday.

Manila, Feb. 24. —Four hundred members of the mutinous Indian regi ment which revolted at Singapore on February 15, have been killed as well • as seven German prisoners from the de ' tention camp who joined the natives J when offered their freedom, according I to reports of the uprising brought here bv passengers from Singapore. The mutineers are said to have killed a i their ollicers save the colonel and then attacked civilians, several of whom were killed, including one woman. The revolt began without warning. Half of the Fifth liig'ht infantry of Rengal on their way to Egypt number ing 500, suddenly attacked and sub dued the other half. Reports brought here that the rebellious troops killed | none of the Hiindu soldiers who re mained loyal, but they did kill some of their officers, including British and native. They then attacked tho houses of civilians, according to the stories, killing men but sparing the women and ' children, who sought refuge on the j transport Nile, lying in the harbor. Offered Freedom to Germans The mutineers offered freedom to all | Germans in the detention camp who j would join them. Only seven of the | prisoners accepted this proposal, the i others preferring to remain where they ! were. The half regiment which remained j loyal soon organized itself and started i out to attack the mutineers. Tho troops | were joined by Europeans of all aiges j who offered their services as volunteers. I In the running fights which followed, four-fifth of the revolting Indians are said to have been killed and it is be lioved only about 100 now remain in tho country surrounding Singapore. The troops which were attempting to quell the mutiny were reinforced the follow ing day by sailors landed from French, British and Japanese warships. The revolt began at a time when there were no war vessels in port. Other reports received here from Singapore are that there are rumors of unrest among the natives in Rangoon, Colombo and Java. An official report given out at Lon don last night by the bureau of infor mation said that the revolt of the na tive troops was due to jealousy and dis satisfaction concerning promotions. It was stated that in "a serious riot" wliieh followed there was a "regret table loss of life." Force of Drops of Water It seems almost incredible that so small a thing as a drop of rain should injure the propeller of an aeroplane, but such is the case. At so great a speed does the pro-pell or revolve—l,ioo revolutions a minute as a matter of fact—that a rain drop hits it with such enormous force as to chip a piece of the wood away. Some idea of the hardships entailed l by flying through tho rain at sixty miles an hour may be gathered from the fact that an avi ator who recently went through such an esiierience, alighted with the edge of his propeller fretted as though it had ben gnawed by rats. The rain drops had chipped pieces out of the blades and also bruised the aviator's face, ow ing to the force with which they hit against his flesh.—London Spectator. Antiquity of "A Regular Shindy" The antiquity of many familiar terms is surprising when it is known. Many people are not aware that "What the ' di'-ikens!" occurs in Shakespeare, but fewer still will be prepared to hear that the phrase "a regular shindy'is found in an author's note to a poem called "The Popish Kingdom," pub lished in 1570. A writer quotes this note, which refers to the celebration of Maundy Thursday, "Midnight serv ices aro held in church, the lights are put out, and a regular shindy follows, men l>eing beaten and wouddled."— London Globe. A Joint Concern When Richard Brinsiev Sheridan was in distress, in early life, one of his resources was that of writing for the fugitive publication's of the day, in whicli he was materially assisted by his wife, and many years after his entrance into the spheres of politics lie was heard to say that "if he had stuck to the law he bejieved ho should have done as much as his friend Tom Erskino; but," continued he, "I had no time for such studies. Mrs. Sheri-. dan and myself were often obliged to* keep writing for our daily leg or shoul der of mutton; otherwise we should have had no dinner." One of his friends, to whom he confessed this, wittily replied, " Theu I perceive it wai a 'joint' concern."
