TEACHERS TfiKt SUMMERCOUiiSE Many RaglsLr £t Univarsil'j ot Pennsylvania. TERM IS WEEKS Every Branch of Knowledge Covered Upto-Date Model School —Worrier to Use Dormitories and Swimming Pool—Scholarships Offered. School teachers from nearly every county in the state are registering lor the coming session of the Bummer School of the University of Pennsyl vania. The term will begin on July "1 and will continue for six weeks until August 16. Lectures upon almost every branch of knowledge, together wilh excursions about Philadelphia and so cial entertainments of various kinds, will combine to make a pleasant va cation for the students. The feature which is attracting the greatest number of persons is tlir School of Observation. This is a model school which will be conducted by sixteen of the most expert teachers in the United States. These instructors have been selected from the citic throughout the country which are be lieved to have the finest systems of public education. The model school will have eight grades, two of which will be ungraded. There will bo a teacher in charge of each of the grades, while the eight other teacher? will demonstrate how children should be taught music, gymnastics, swim ming, gardening and industrial work. For Rural Teachers. Especial attention will be paid t»*> the ungraded work, which will lie con ducted with a view to helping the teachers in the rural districts solve some of the problems which confront them. The famous Batavia system of individual instruction will also he il lustrated by an exponent of that method. About 200 children will act as the pupils for the model school, which is located on the edge of the university campus. The sessions of the school will he from nine until hall' past eleven every morning. Din ing this time tho regular primary and grammar school branches will be taught the children, together with a half hour of organized play and phy sical exercise. For the remainder of the day the men and women who register in the Summer School will be able to pursue their favorite lines of study. There is no prescribed work. The teachers wl'! be permitted to do just as much or as little as they like. The courses in psychology are ex pected to be the most popular. There are thirteen of these, a majority of which have to do with the study of the child. An exhibition class ef twenty backward children will he taught by Miss Elizabeth Farrell, in sper tor of ungraded classes in New York city. She will show how the 1:' corrigible, stupid and retarded hoys and girls who visit the psychologic-' clinic of the university may be edu cated. Another of the courses in psy chology is that in educational psy chology which considers the develop ment of the child from the germ ce'' to the age of fourteen years and d-s cusses the influences of heredity, en vironment and disease. Special Gymnasium Work. The university gymnasium will he thrown open to the students in the Summer School. A corps of dodo s. professors and Instructors will deliver lectures and illustrate met ho is of physical training which will enahl ■ the students to qualify as physical directors, fioth men and women are registering for this course. Durin-; certain hours the university swinuniv: pool will be reserved exclusively for the women. An abundance of courses is offcre ! In all of the modern and ancient I ;n --guages, in history, the fine arts, in so ciology, economics, the sciences and architecture. In addition the students will find plenty of opportunity for so cial pleasures Popular lectures, re ceptions, teas and excursions th.-ouvh Philadelphia and the vicinity will con tribute to the amusement and recrea tion of men and women alike Trips also will be taken in connection with some of the courses, as in physical and commercial geography and botany. The students in geography will visit the wharves and docks of Philadelph'a and will be given in this way an iden of the vast shipping interests of the state. They will also inspect repre sentative manufacturies in and about the city. Those who take the crnir;e in botany will not only make excur sions to the haunts of the variau; local wild flowers, but will also have the use of (he botanic gardens and the hot houses of the university, lr which grow every species of plant Two of the best houses in the dor mltory syt tem have been reserved foi the women. In charge of these will b< responsible chaperons. The houses wil be separated from those occupied bj the men by the entire length of the system. A large reception room ir •ne of the dormitory houses will fur alsh a social center for the students Through the agency of the Mothers Congress, the Christian Temperance Union and other organizations, a nun ber of scholarships to the Sumrr.c School have been provided. Teic' e throughout the state will be elic'h' for these scholarships. The direi-to of the Summer School is Dr. A. D..; can Yocum, professor of pedagogy. Farm Garden BUILD SILO IN THE BARN. Then You Have a Combination That Defies All Weather Happenings. Here is positively the latest and clev erest thing in the great silo question. The cement tnnk is built in the center of a circular barn, where its contents are not only protected against all weather conditions, but the animals to be fed are protected also. The power plant in the up to date barn is easily and cheaply applied for cutting and handling the ensilage, and the whole arrangement seems to be a fine application of the old Latin phrase "multum In parvo." The word silo comes from the French and means ditch or pit, and this meth od of keeping green forage seems to have been first used by the French people, but in the last few years the farmers of America have surpassed not only the French people, but all oth ers, In developing this method of pre serving green forage, and of course the American farmers and manufacturers & WEATHEIt TROOP SIIJO. have made great improvements in the art. The original making of ensilage was nothing more than in imitation of tlie dog that digs in the ground to cover up and keep a bone or something else lie wanted to keep and eat at a later date. lint, while the silo In the ground serves a great deal better than none at all, it falls short of being as satisfac tory as those built above ground. Of course (he practical use of the silo is the keeping of forage in a suc culent condition, and the most general adaptation is for the use of dairy cows. In this use of it the consumption of ensilage lias increased very rapidly In the last ten years. It may be that a chemical analysis does not prove that forage of any sort contains more nutriment than the same would have cut and cured in the regular way, but it has been the ex perience of all who have used good corn ensilage that it is the best meth od to preserve corn for cattle. The digestive nutrients In forage of any sort seems to be kept In a more satisfactory condition as ensilage than a 113- other way, and a far greater quan tity per acre can be got from the land, so that any farmer who keeps many cattle will be certain to find that the silo Is very necessary 011 his farm. Cheers For the Glass Hen. Tlio "frost proof' hen may he com ing, says the Rural New Yorker, but the glass hen Is here, and one of her June eggs In January does very well. Water glass or silicate of soda Is tlio best family preservative for eggs, and it will pay any farmer to breed the glass hen. Eggs laid in April, May and June are best for preserving. Boil nine gallons of water. After it has cooled pour in one gallon of water glass and stir it thoroughly. I'ut in a stone Jar and gently place in the mix ture about thirty dozen eggs. Get them as close to laying as possible and have them clean. Tut the jar in the cellar or a dark room, cover it over and let it alone until yon want the eggs. For family use the glass lien is a wonder in its way a good partner for alfalfa, vetch and the rest of the farm helpers. 4.4.4.4, i 'I CHEER OF THE FLOWER t It GARDEN. £ " The flower garden may not be X • • as profitable as the vegetable 4* ** garden, but will add cheer, com- T i. fort and contentment to the J. *' home.

Fossibly the most remarkable poul try establishment in this part of the country la located in Boston on the roof of one of the leading hotels. An employee has been keeping success fully a flock of about twenty-five hens. Located in the very center of the city, the birds thrive and lay well and a flock of chickens is being raised to keep up a supply. The eggs are used In the hotel and certainly ought to be fresh enough to satisfy the most ex acting guest GOOD AND CHEAP HOGPEN. Place It So as to Give the Piggies ] Plenty of Sun —They Need It. ! A good nnd economical cot for hog raising is shown in the accompanying cut. It is made of skids 4 by G and 0 feet long. The joists are 2.2 by C and 1 are laid flat. The roof doors are 1 eighteen inches wide, and paper and I lap siding are used for the walls. The ' ! pen is a convenient knockdown ar- I I rangement. The whole thing can bo built for ' $25. i About the best floor is the ground, 1 with woven wire stretched on top to 1 I prevent the hogs from rooting. Elec- ' trlcally welded conrcrib wire is very ! satisfactory. This makes a floor j which is easy ou tho hogs, almost free 1 from rats and, if properly bedded, | warm and dry. It is, however, more ! difficult to keep free from dust than some other floors. Many concrete floors are used, but they are cold, 11a- 1 ble to be wet nnd are hard on the i hogs' feet. Often almost an entire pig ' crop and many sows are lost by tak ing cold on concrete floors. Concrete floors are, however, very satisfactory when covered with plank overlays or false floors, which should be raised from tho concrete about an Inch by nailing cleats on the under side. Board floors are expensive, short lived, cold if up off the ground and make tho worst kind of rat harbors. Hats may be kept out by packing sand or cinders to the top of the joists bo- I fore laying the floor, but these mate- 1 rials are often too expensive to bo j used for this purpose. It is still hard for many farmers to get rid of ' tho no- j tion that anything is good enough for a hog. Yet there Is no animal on the ! farm which requires better protection from cold than the hog, none for which a good bed is more necessary and none so much In need of sunshine as tho little pig. Tho horse and the cow have good coats of hair, oven a calf or a colt when left in the cold is pro- ; vided with a good fur coat, the hen's feathers are tho best of proteation against cold, but tho hog has almost | nothing between his skin and the weather. One of tho first requisites for suc cess with hogs is a shelter where young pigs can be kept warm and well supplied with sunshine nnd fresh BEST BTYLE OP TIOrEX. air. A little pig takes cokl very easily nnd recovers slowly If at all. To pre vent taking cold he must be kept dry, warm, away from drafts and pro vided with fresh air. A little pig loves sunshine and needs it almost as much as he needs food. No piggery is lit for the purpose un less it admits direct sunshine onto the floor of every pen at tho time tho pigs are farrowed, furnishes plenty of fresh air and provides for exorcise in tho open air. Dryness, sunshine, warmth, fresh air, freedom from drafts nnd exercise are of primary Im portance in raising pigs. These se cured, tho battle Is half won. In put ting up buildings tho six requirements just mentioned must be kept constant ly in mind. Not one can be neglected. Whitewashing the inside of the house is an excellent practice. Besides going a long way toward disinfecting, it increases the light materially. When the sunshine strikes a whitewashed wall much of It Is reflected to the floor and does a great deal of good. Dark houses which must be used will be much improved by whitewashing. Poultry Pickings. Keep the egg record up every day. If you skip one day even the rest will be a guess, and guessing Isn't business. Trap nests are not expensive, but they are very essential to tho well dl- | reeled poultry farm. By using trap nests you can keep a record of the eggs. | Tho profit in poultry raising for market lies In hatching early, pushing the chickens forward as rapidly as possible and marketing thetn early in the season. i It will not do to allow ducks to share the common lot of poultry in general— j not that they require more attention, , but rather a different manner of 1 handling nnd feeding. ■ Many people are realizing the profit , in raising heavy geese, as they are j worth more a pound than the lighter i breeds, and every year there is more ' demand for the Toulouse. j A hen should bo fed some grain that , she doesn't have to scratch for. Al- ! though exercise is necessary to keep | .lier in good health, she needs time to | irest and dust herself In the middle of the day.i Treatment for roup: One ounce per- J manganato of potash to three pints of j water for submerging the head. For j drinking purposes dilute one pint of | the nbove mixture in three or four , pints of water. Onions chopped fine and mixed with the hen's Pood occasionally will pro mote health. Onions are a great poul try tonic, and they are relished by fowls old and young. Fall hatched i chicks tumble over one another to get their f;ed when onions are mixed with it THE PROSE TRANSLATION. Shows Difficulty of Forcing the O-or of the Understanding. The difficulty of forcing the door of the understanding is amusingly illus trated in a story related by Mrs. Rog- J er A. Pryor in her recent book, "My I Day: Reminiscences of a Long Life." I Mrs. Pryor's daughter, Mrs. Rice, once attempted to introduce William Cul- I len Bryant to a class of poor white boys she was teaching at a night school in her home on a plantation in Virginia. She had taught them to read and ' write, had given them some arithme ' tic and geography, even some Latin, and was then minded to awaken the esthetic instincts which she believed ' must exist in the poor fellows. She ! read the beautiful poem "To a Water- Fowl." "Now, boys," she eagerly said, "tell me how you would feel if you 1 had seen this?" There was dead silence. Appealing to the most hopeful of her pupils, she received an enlightening response: "1 wouldn't think nuthin'." "What would you say?" she per sisted. "Wal, I reckon I'd say, "Thar goes a duck!" A Little Too Hasty. In the scramble that followed a premature discharge of dynamite in a building-lot, says a writer In the New I York Sun, a stout man lost a scarf ; pin. After he began to search for it I he noticed another man poking round j in the dust and debris. lie immediate \ ly grew suspicious, and at last spoke. "I do not wish to give offense," he said, "but I must ask you to refrain ! from assisting me in this search. I ■ appreciate your willingness to help, \ but as a means of self-protection I j long ago made it a rule never to al low strangers to assist me in a search ! for a lost article." "Oh, very well," said the stranger. 1 "You have no objection to my looking ! on. I suppose?" • lie sat down on the curbstone and watched the stout man sift dust and I overturn stones. After twenty minutes ] of painful stooping tho stout man | found a scarf-pin. "But it is not my pin," he said, de jectedly. j "No, it's mine," said the other man. | "I heard it strike somewhere here abouts. That was what I set out to look for, but when I saw how anxious you were for the job 1 let you go ahead. Your own scarf-pin, if you want to know, is sticking :o the flap of your left coat pocket." A Far-Travelled Alligator. A female aligator four and a half feet long, species Alligator mississippi ensis, was recently captured In cen tral Oklahoma, In a bayou of the South Canadian River. Mr. H. H. Lane of the University of Oklahoma believes that the animal had travelled < up the Arkansas River to the mouth of the Canadian, and thence to tho point where it was found, a distance of some 350 or -100 miles west of tho Arkansas-Oklahoma state line. Tho Canadian River is not navigable, and during most of the year is only a small meandering creek in a wide valley. The alligator had been In the neigh borhood at least three years before its capture. Its skeleton Is no\f in tho university museum, where tho lono traveller is also commemorated by a life-like model. The Goteborg System. The "Goteborg System" works like a charm. Before it was adopted Nor way consumed more alcohol per in habitant than any other country in Europe, but, owing to the "Goteborg System," it is now one of the most temperate of all lands. In other words, only a fourth of the quantity of ardent spirits is consumed in Norway per inhabitant as compared with the con sumption before the system went into operation. The saving to the people in dollars reaches into the millions, and crime has practically been elimi -1 nated. The death rate as the immedi i ate result of alcoholism has dropped from 33 per 10,000 of the population to 10. The Midnight Sun. The "Midnight Sun" is not visible south of the Polar circle. It is abovo the horizon throughout the twenty four hours at Bodo from June 3 to July 7; at Tromso from tho 19th of j May to tho 22d of July, and at tho North Cape from tho 12th of May to the 20th of July. There are corre ' spondlng periods during December, January and November when the sun Is not seen. But the darkness of tho Winter Is by no means so great as • might be imagined. The whiteness of 1 the snow and the glimmer of tho | "Northern Lights" make a sort of per i petual twilight. i The Debtor's Refuge. A young Bloomsbury dramatic au | thor and critic was up as a judgment > debtor, and said he had fio engage- I ment. Lawyer—Well, how are you living? Critic —My wife has a little money. I Judge Bacon —He has found a hav- I en of rest, but his wife cannot be com pelled to pay his debts. (Laughter), j A rich wife Is, to some, a trade like ! many others. She may love him and I choose to do it. (Laughter). When i a man is in debt, and the pressure of I poverty comes, the finer feelings go i away through the window. (Luugh- I ter). Church Made of Paper. A new church in Paris, in the La Roquette quarter, is to be entirely j made of paper, rendered impermeable, by means of a coating of quicklime mixed with curdled milk and white of egg.

I'm cured. And my wife's present did it. What j was it? Why, simply one of those shaving glasses that magnify three times. The first time I used it 1 got a , view of my face that rather startled me. Every blemish, every wild hair I under the skin, every open pore, all the minute ugliness that isn't apparent to the naked eye—these things confronted me In all their magnified repulslveness.

One of the principal clubs In Pall Mall has the misfortune to bo fre quented by a gentleman who is by common consent the greatest bore and buttonholcr In London. Some years ago this good man, on his return from his autumn holiday, was telling all his acquaintances at the club that he bad been occupying a house at the lakes not far from Mr. Ituskln, who, he added, was in a very melancholy state. "I am truly sorry for that," said one of his hearers. "What is the matter with him?" "Well," replied the buttonholer, "I was walking one day in the lane which separated Buskin's house from mine, and I saw him coming down the lane toward me. The moment he caught sight of mo he darted into a wood which was close by and hid behind a tree till I had passed. Oh, very sad indeed!"—From "Collections and Rec ollections."
