In the Shippensburg News ap peared the following written by one of that paper's correspondents: "ilessrs. Jacob Dctwiler and S, C. Rhodes, while working on the township road the other day dus: up a copperhead sna.ke, and after having killed the same, dug up forty-eight eggs, each one of which when opened, contained a live, young copperhead. All of the snakes were quickly dispatch ed." The Chambersburg Valley Spir it takes advantage of the forego ing to give a little information about snakes and their egs that may be interesting and instruc tive to many boys who may find snake eggs. This is what the Spirit says: "We do not wish to detract from any reptilian honors neigh bors Detwiler and Rhodes have won but we are constrained to correct the common error into which the recorder of the annals of Middle Spring has fallen. "Not one of the forty-eight eggs which the dauntless destroy ers made way with contained a copperhead. There is no such thing as an egg laid by a copper head. The copperhead is not ovoviviparous. It is a viviparous reptile, producing its young alive it does not lay or incubate. In this it is one with the rattlesnake and other venomous reptilia. "The eggs the gentlemen had found may easily have been laid by the blacksnake. That and like non venomous snakes hatch out their young. The copperhead undergoes the mammalian pro cess of origin."

Instruction is often increased a thousand fold in value if it is given without rebuke or ridicule. Many have refrained from asking questions because of their fear of betraying an ignorance that would be laughed at. And many, when they have been sharply re buked by friends perhaps in directlyfor their ignorance, have resolved not to ask enlight enment again from those friends. There is-an exquisite touch about the way our best Friend deals with such questions: "If any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberal ly and upbraideth not." Liber ally and without upbraiding is God's way, and the way of friends who show his spirit Sunday School Time3. Camping for a day, and some times for a longer period, has be come very popular along the Raystown Branch of the Juniata river between Fverett and the Crossings. Last Sunday Mr. and Mr3. George A.
