" Tlie above is the opening annminee iueut in a bulletin just issued by the State department of agriculture with a view t<> stimulating interest in the poultry business in Pennsylvania. This document,prepared by T. E. Orr, of Beaver, shows that many millions of dollars might be added to the reven ues of the farmers of this State through tin- production of eggs and poultry. Six States west of Pennsylvania sur pass it in the products of the hen, Ohio aud lowa leading with SaO.(HK),OOO worth each. Yet Pennsylvania has more individual land owners than eith er of these States—almost every plot being cajiable of yarding and feeding a few hens. "There is a single wholesale grocer in Pittsburg," say.- the department bulletin, "who handles an average daily <»f 300 cases of eggs of 30 dozen ea< h. lie pays out for these eggs about halt a million dollars a year. How many Pennsylvania farmers particip ate in this handsome sum of money? Not one. Every egg that this man handles comes from Indiana, where careful buyers gather them from the farmers. He says: 'The farmers of Western Pennsylvania do not produce enough eggs especially in winter, for me to bother with. Of course,l would rather buy home eggs, but 1 must buy from people who have eggs to sell.' "The above-named egg buyer pays good prices He handles fresh eggs only. He has no use for storage eggs. He would pav higher orices if he could get a constant supply of nearby fresh eggs Prom Septenibei* 1 to March 1, a period of six months, the wholesale Pittsburg prices will average 30 cents l»-r dozen for strictly first class eggs. "It has liecii demonstrated again .tud that the man who can pro duce egg- st all in this district in these six months does so at a food cost of not over Id cents |>er dozen. In what other line of animal industry can one find a larger margin to pay for the labor ami interest on the cost of in vestment ' ' Eastern Pennsylvania demands even a better «|uality of poultry and eggs at -till higher prices. The better class residents of Philadelphia and New \ ork are each year becoming more fa.-tidious as to the quality of the pro ducts they consume, and less care ful as to the prices they pay, pro v ided the quality is above reproach. Not only in the two cities named, hut iu a dozen smaller cities art* people who contract for their eggs six months at 3o ceuts a dozen and six months at cents, just to be sure they get eggs that are strictly first class. "In every town of f>,ooo imputation or larger are |ieople who would be triad to pay close to the aliove named prices, provided they could be sure of getting n regular supply Itetweeu Sept ember and March. Pennsylvania is furnishing a con stantly increasing demand for more table poultry of first quality. > ine has oulv to loiter around some of our com missi ou houses to learn that most of the dressed jiouitry consigned will not rank aiiove third class, that first class poultry sells more rapidly and for twice as much as poultry that grades only third-class. " The bulletin states that the greatest obstacle that now stands in the way of profits from poultry on Peunsyl vania farms seem to the writer to Is* properly classified under the following •leadings Mixed flocks, poor houses, injudicious feeding and careless mark etiug."

WILL PASS THROUGH SIJNMJRY The new trunk line from New York to Chicago, to be built at a cost $150,- 000,000, the merger papers for which will be filed at the State department Harrishurg this week, will not touch Philadelphia, but will go through the northern part of Pennsylvania. East of Pittsburg. The road will touch at the following towns in Pennsylvania: Freeport. Leechburg, South Bend, Shelocta, Cherrytree, irvona, Dix, Loveville, Pine (trove Mills, Shingle ton, Tusseyville, Coburn.New Berlin, Northumberland, Sunbury, Ashland, Mahanoy City, Tamaqua, Allentown and Easton. Preliminary work will be begun this fall on the line to New York and actual grading will bejrin in the spring. The line west will be started as soon as the Pittsburg New York line is com pleted. The surveys west are not final, and the promoters expect to lower the grade further and to shorten the dist ance before the road is laid out. The road to New York has been surveyed three times. The foreign syndicate will build the road and turn it over complete to the New York, Pittsburg and Chicago Air Line, which will be capitalized at lirst at $ 1 ,000,000. The route west of Penn sylvania is to be kept secret, but it is stated positively that the Lorain,Ash tabula and Southern railroad, which is now Hearing completion, will be one of the many feeders in the west. James Ramsey, former president of the Wabash,who is now in New York, issued the following sigued statement relative to the new project: "We expect to make a start this fall and begin work next spring,hoping to complete the line between Pittsburg and New York within three years. "The line is not merely a prelimin ary survey, but a final location that has been revised three times. Three corps of engineers have been busy for three years. It is the best iiossible short low grade line to he had through Pennsylvania between Pittsburg and New York. "The extension of the road to Chi cago from Pittsburg will be taken up when the line east to New York is c< im pie ted. " Sunbury and the country thereabouts is much exercised over the announce ment that the new line , will pass through that town, as it is considered to be a solution of the recent inyster ions large land purchases between Sunbury and Selinsgrove.

M. < uuningham \ There was Just 0110 reason why the Widow llidwell refused the matrimo mini offer tendered her hy Editor Flint »112 the Weekly Clarion and Fergus County Advertiser. Editor Flint had ( uwued and edited the Clarion fur many years, lie had never married because he had been too busy making up and working off his edition of GOO copies, getting tip and printing auction bills, writing thrilling local notices of wood wanted on subscription and other mat I tors connected with a weekly Journal Jof twenty years ago. Some of his es teemed contemporaries sneerlngly re marked now and then that he stole his editorials, but when It came down to writing out an auction bill they yielded him the palm. "Auction! Auction! Auction!" read the average bill. "Take notice that on the 14th of September George Styles, farmer, will sell at public vendue ull the live stock and other personal prop erty 011 bis farm 011 the Red ISridge road. Said stock consists of horses, cows, sheep and hogs and about 100 hens and geese. Sale to begin at 10 a. 111.. and all will goto the highest bidder." There was no doubt about the suc cess of the Clarion as a newspaper or about the success of Editor Flint as an editor. When he linally made up his mind to marry the Widow Bidwell, there was uo doubt that he would be a success as a Benedict, lie struck a snag, however. The widow had been obliged to turn to dressmaking since her husband's death, and she did not rank with the Four Hundred of the village, but she was a lover of poetry and she bad dreams of poets. While this kept her grocery bill down, it in terfered considerably with her getting out orders 011 lime, and slie calculated that one about offset the other. The poetry loving widow had had titty different poetic effusions pub lished in the Clarion over the 110 m de plume of Flossie, but Mr. Flint had received the copy with a grunt, and the public had recovered from the shock each time within twenty-four hours. The "poems" had been published to save carrying dead advertising. .Mrs. Bidwell was rather surprised when the editor dropped in on her one even lug and proceeded to say that he want ed her for the mistress of his house, she soon rallied and answered that there was an Insurmountable barrier between them. lie didn't look like a poet. She knew what be could do in the way of an auction bill, but the man who wed Flossie must look the 1 part. She would attend to the poetry as heretofore, but he must at least have long hair, an aesthetic face and ttaeamy eyes. The editor saw at once that he couldn't till the bill. He wore his hair short, had a fat face, and his eyes were 011 the lookout for delinquent subscribers instead of I >oking Into tlie far away. lie therefore picked up bis hat and walked back to the olllce. However, the iron had entered Mr. Flint's soul. He had laid his forty year-old heart at a woman's feet, and she had spurned it. He either wanted to commit suicide or secure revenge, : and after figuring up that the Clarion ! plant was worth about SI,OOO he decld ed to hang 011 to earth. The tirst In stallment of his revenge was shown in his next Issue, when he said: "We take pleasure In informing our readers that a brother of the Widow Bidwell. whi writes beautiful verse under the name of Flossie, has just | died and left her a fortune estimated at SIM),<MHJ. She lias mir heartiest eon gratulatious." Of course the public read the item, and of course the widow read it. There wasn't a word of truth in it, but when people came and showered their con gratulations she couldn't bring her self to deny the story. She was even thankful to the Clarion for publishing the canard. The issue of the follow lug week pursued the matter further "We understand," it said, "that the fortune left to tho Widow Bidwell by her deceased brother in the west will go s.">»>,urn better than at first reported. There are reports afloat that she will remove to New York city 11s soon as she comes Into possession and buy a residence on Fifth avenue. Her poem tills week is the best thing In the pa per." There were more congratulations, and the widow got deeper into tho tolls. It was so nice to be patted on the back and soft soaped that she couldn't bring herself to deny the re ports. Between the second and third issues of the Clarion the editor had a caller. Ills ostensible occupation was selling Bohemian oats to fanners at !?•"> n bushel and sailing mighty close to prison as a swindler, but he had the hair and face and eyes of a poet. Even the fat and I althy editor had to ad mit that. The caller wanted to insert a small ad. and ask about the Widow Bidwell. lie had seen the notices In the Clarion about her legacy, and he wanted a few pointers. Editor Flint praised the woman who hail Jumped on his bleeding heart. Aye, he spoke in highest terms of her, and even told Mr. Harold I>e I.isle how he could get an introduction to her. Then the third issue said: "We had a pleasant call the other day from Mr. Harold l>e Lisle, who haH J 11st made a million dollars out of Pennsylvania oil We understand that he may remain in our village for some days Indeed, hnme Rumor Ls con Oectlng his name with that of a rich and prominent widow on Chestnut street." Mr He I.lsic was duly introduced to the Widow Bidwell. She had 110 sooner set eyes on him than her heart began to palpitate. The poet had come. He looked and dressed the part. lie also acted it. Nothing was said of her dressmaking on tlie one hand nor of his oat business on tho other. They talked of sonnets and poems and idyls, and the widow was not 111 the hotel dining room to noto the quantity of e trued beef and cabbage he got away with at dinner. There was a fourth n..tire in ttie t'larlon. The spurned editor hadn * much to do with auction bills just then, and he had time to keep track of affairs 011 Chestnut street lie had been told that Mr. Harold De I.isle was only a traveling agent for a of eastern swindlers, but he wasn't going to say so on the contrary, what he said was: "The wealth} and distinguished Mr. He I-isle ii s 111 with us, and if he has not won the IK rt of a Bee I City lady then riiiiio; 1 la- gone far astray. The wedding v. II pro! ably la* a quiet af mid b-i • nd - o >iii may make a honey union trip to murope." The Bohemian oats man who looked like a poet nit< 1 the widow dressmaker who really wrote rhymes were not ex actly frank with each other. lie never asked the name of her brother or what disease he died of. lie never asked If that fortune had come or when it might be expected on her part, she didn't ask In what part of the Keystone State his oil well was situate: 1 <<r what national bank he honored with his deposits. They read the clarion and trusted In each other. There wire more farmers waiting to buy !• ihemlan oats and find a crop of weed-, but .till litrold I>e I.lsle lin gci'il. There were dresses that cus tomers were waiting for, but still the i widow's sewing machine was silent. The languid!)*' ; and lethargy of look ing like a poet and being a poet beat ; sliding down hill all hollow. The fifth "puff" in the Clarion was a send-off. "The event < 112 ihc season occurred at | the Meiho :i-t church two days since," jit read. "As we have all along pre dicted, we have lost our fairest flower. 1 In other words, Mr. Harold I»e Lisle ! prevailed upon the charming Widow | Hid well to give him her hand and heart, | and the Kev. Mr. I'eters made them | man and wife in a very impressive cer emony. The happy couple left for Chi cago immediately after, but may re turn next week t > prepare for the jaunt abr< tad." Ten days later the bride returned and at once notiiie 1 all old customers that business w. n to be resumed sit the old stand. Ten clays later in a distant state the bridegroom was talking up Hohemian oats. They bad come to an understand ing about nionej matters. They had understood that each had played the confidence game on the other and that they ha ln't ' .'inn between them. Kditor Flint of the Clarion and Fer gus County Advertiser sat down and wrote an auction bill for Farmer Jones ami told hi. i what the price for 200 copies would be. and as he found him self setting it up he found himself say ing to himself: "(>h, I don't know.

Distressing accidents. such as wo find chronicled in (hp newspapers of our colonial era, bring home vividly to posterity the fact that dangers to life and limli existed before tin* day of the dynamite craekei* and the autonloblle. Children, rambling outdoors, and grown persons hesicles, says the author of "Americans of 17711," would pick find eat strange herries, roots and veg Ttahles that turneii out poisonous, and tn vain did newspapers warn against mushrooms, hemlock, ivy and other growing things. Clumsiness at work on the part of the injured or Injurer did much mortal mischief. A man dropped from his ladder or scaffolding while repairing a house or was scalded to death by an overturned kettle of potash or maple san. We read of a father and three sons who were killed by suffocation, one after another, while descending Into a pit without tirst testing for car bonic acid. People were careless, moreover, in the use of powder and firearms when the Revolutionary era began. At llart ford the legislature voted joyfully to the townsfolk two barrels of powder for volleys in honor of the repeal of the stamp act. The powder was kept In a schoolhonse, and the militiamen, when filling their horns with it, left some spilled on tin- floor. The school children, playing with the black grains, set them on lire and the train led to a powder barrel, which exploded with tremendous concussion. The schoolhonse was blown tip nnd many children were killed. A lire in Andover in 177<» burned *> the ground an old house next the meet ing house, and its three lonely and aged inmates perished in the llames. But "providentially," as one newspaper remarked, the church escaped un harmed. Two old maiden sisters, it seems, were in the habit of smoking their pipes after they got into bed, whence, probably, the disaster. "Therefore," adds the chronicler, "It may not be amiss to caution people against such a practice." AVliil- AntN of Africa. Natives of t he east coast of Africa do n«>t object to the presence of the great white ant colonies in their neigh borhood The ants exercise great fer tilizing power on the crops.

Whenever there happens to be an ant hill In a gar den its immediate vicinity can IK? at once distinguished, as the maize and corn are full* double the size of the surrounding crop. The bush country a few miles from this place Is swarm ing with white ants and has also a large nati\ • population. The ants do not attack .:ivi'ii crops to any extent." \ Taste For DO^N. Mark Twain was once talking of war and of the hardships and privations of sieges. "A French man.*' he said, "called one day on a woman who had two dogs. They were i:-ly little brutes, and when they c,!':.o n.vir him the man pushed them out of the way with his foot. "'I perceive, sir,' said the woman coldly, 'that you are not very fond of dogs.' "The man started in surprise. "'I not fond of dogs!' he exclaimed. 'Why, madam, I ate more than twenty '>f them during the lege of Paris."" PASTED HIS OWN BILLS. Tin* Mi'inornbli' Iriurnu finent I in llootli EVOP Played. Edwin i tooth once told a little com pany of his intimates that the most ro inantie. memorable and delightful en gagement that he ever played in his life was i,'iie in which he was obliged to paste his own bills. It was In the early years of his ca reer, long before his famous hundred nights' run of "Hamlet'' at the Winter Garden in New York, and at a time when romance and enthusiasm were still young iii his heart. He had played with varying success In many parts of tlie country, Journeying even to San Francisc.) and the few camps In the gold bearing country that were largo enough to supply him with audiences. Here lie had done so well that he felt encouraged to try his fortune In still remoter climes and accordingly em barked from the Golden Gate for the Hawaiian Islands, where, in the Hono lulu theater and under the direct pat ronage of the dark brown royalty that then held sway, he played an engage inent to which he looked back In after years with much pleasure and satis faction. "But after the play was over," said Booth, I found it necessary to climb down from the high plane of art to common ground and take steps to an nounce my repertory to the public. This was done almost entirely by way of posters, and I could not trust the job to the native boys, because they al ways ate the paste and threw away the bills. My actors would not do it, because they were such eminent artists and thoroughbred gentlemen, so I had to do it myself. Many a time have I taken off the costume of lago or Hum let or Othello and gone out with a bucket of paste and a roll of paper to 'bill the town,' as we say here in Amer ica, for my next appearance."
