Win. R Miller. Gen'l Manager Tffi GOORTT INSTITUTE Uouutv Superintendent C. W. Derr Tuesday for the lirst took up the work of visiting the schools of the county The rural schools are now all in fall -wing and are doing good work. Condition* in the country «1 istrit*t> differ somewhat from in town unci in sfiad of i rowded schools tin l attend ant- just now is found to be nothing to boast of.it will not 1»«- until Octo ber or November that the full number nt pupils will he enrolled iu the rural M liools Meanwhile owing to the heavy crops and scarcity of farm help the hoy- and giris w ill be needed to as -i-t with fall work on many id' the (arms. County Superintendent U. NV. Derr Ttiexla> stated that he. has perfected uo plans for the county institute be yond the fact that it will be held on the same date as la>t year. He will <infer with l'.orougli Sn|>erinteiident <;.ird> with the view ol arranging a program that will he heiietieial alike to the town and the country teachers. The fact seems evident that the even ■ tig entertainments of the county in stitute. a- In- heell the »»-nr= prist, w ill not lie a very prominent feature. The county super -1 nt< ndctit has not hooked a single at tra« lion as yet. It does not seem un likely, however, that one evening of tin week may lieoecupitHl with an en tertainment of a [high order, the en tire proceeds of which shall he apulied to a memorial to Thaddcus Stevens, th> great champion of the free schools This memorial, it i- planned,will take the form of an industrial school fir home, erected at Lancaster, where in digent orphan boys can he taught some u-eful trade. Montour is one of the few counties of the State that has as yet contilhiitint nothing toward the gramt memorial. Big Barn Burned. Evidently tli<- work of an incendi ary. who was discoverwl and shot at a- lit- fled into lite darkness, the barn of ltus-ell Kartis in Benton township, (Vilumhia county. near the Mi-Henry distillery was burned to the ground ju-t before midnight Momlay night. The farm was tenanted hy Chester Campbell and his son. A lex. Camptiell was returning home at II '.o o'clock. As he approached the barn lie heard the suappingand crack ing sound of fire coining from the building When not more than twen ty-five 112. et away the door was flung opeu and a man who could not here . oginied in the dark rushed from the building and fled across the field. Vonng Campbell cairied a revolver which he proin)itly pulletl and fired af ter the fleeing figure, hut the shots either went wild, or the calibre was too small to bring the man to a stop. Almost instantaneously with this -traug< occurrence, the roof of the building hurst out m a mass of flames which soon enveloped the entire struc ture. Tie entire neighborhood was quick ly tiu the st-eue, ami two horses and two cow- were saved from destruction. The liam was.l large one and was till ed with hay and grain all of which made but fuel for tin- flames, and tin; entire structure with all contents in cluding a alf.was 111 lesa than a hour a mass of runts. Ju-t who the fterson was who was been running from the harti is not known, but he undoubtedly was con net ted w .tli the fire. Whether the man intent ionall> i>r accidentally fired the building, however, is 11 question On numerous occasion- 111 the past, grain had been stolen from the building; and it may have been that the maraud er w t- after another haul when he ac cidentally drop|«ed a light which start ed a blaze in the hay Challenges County. The record for farm work in this -action "t the State is without doubt held by David llowe,who is employed on the farm ot Joseph Patterson, in Mt Pb asanf tow nship,Columbia coun ty. Monday morning he cut and set up - of corn ;and in the aft* rnoou he cradled two acres of buck wheat; and all this wa- done in a working day of ten hours. In the even ing he was not at all unduly fatigued, aiid i\ he could have kept up flit work it the -ami- rate for several hours longer It must IM- remembered too that tlii- was done in spite of the fat t that Monday was an unusually warm ami humid day. Mr Howe offers a challenge lor any one to surpass or equal his record made Monday. When you have a cold it is well to IM very careful a!tout using anything that will can-i* miist.ipati 11.

The sitnatiou over the failure of the Shatnokin-Mt. Carmel Transit com pany, through a strike, to resume op erations is becoming desperate at Cen tralia, and the residents threaten to blow np the entire track and not al low the company to again put a track on the borough streets unless cars are soon running. The Centralia borough council held a special meeting last evening and took action on the matter. The council has been at loggerheads with Smith, manager of the road, for some time, and will take advantage iji , tLr. IIIWMII- yimnfton to make him live up to the agreement made when the franchise was first granted the com pany or get out. The council will send a communication to Smith, telling him to ojierate his cars in the borough at once. In the event of his failure he will be told to take up his tracks. A great many residents of Centralia work in other places and have hereto fore been entirely dependent on the trolley line togo to and from work. The community as a whole is highly incensed over the 'ailnre of the com pany to operate cars ; they say man ager Smith has always conducted things with a high band in the past ; and they now threaten to blow up the entire track from Conyngbam town ship into the borough unless the cars are very soon placet! in operation. YOUNG PEOPLE ENJOY IT. The young people of Centralia are getting bunches of real fun out of the trolley strike situation. Many young men and maidens from the town on the hill work in Mt. Carmel. There is no early train to bring them down and they must walk to work. Some of them get off in the afternoon in time to get home on the -t :;{0 Lehigh train, hut they must walk back home at night. It is as good for the physical makeup as a vacation in tho country! The young folks will develop muscles, and promote health,and help the shoemak er on his way to wealth. Balustrade I icing Installed. The fiont of the courthouse took on an additional attraction yesterday when t he handsome balustrade of metal was installed above the artistic, stone work enclosing and forming the three doorways of the building. The wood en paraiiet, which did service from t-I.e time the courthouse was built, was torn down a couple of weeks ago. The balustrade is very ornamental and is manufactured of galvanized iron and zinc,materials which are be ing used very extensively not only for that purpose but also for window frame, window sash and the like. The balustrade was manufactured by John E. Polil, of Lancaster, and had to be made expiesslv for the courthouse from plans made here and forwarded to the factors It was installed yester day afternoon under the sii|>ervisioii of John J. Keilly, a representative of the factory. Before the balustrade was erected the top of the stone work was covered with sheet lead, so as to preserve the exposed surface and especially the joints from the action of the weather. Altogether the job when completed will be a most thorough one. Large plate glass nearly the height of the doors will be inserted at. the middle entrance which will still fur ther add to the attractiveness of the front. The huge panels have already been cut out of the middle doors and every thing is ready to insert the plate glass as soon as it arrives. I he Breath ot Life.

Professor Surface state- that those people wishing bulletins can ecurc them by sending to him some li\> specimen of snake, worm or bug I best specimen-are studied, drawing- an made of them, and in some easi - col ored plates are prepared Many pub lie schools all over Pennsylvania have written to Professor Surtaci asking for zoological specimens It the.-, schools will send livespccinn ns to the State department of agriculture they will receive in leturn these same specimens iiiounte.il and labeled , ry possibly, too, they may receive addi tional ones. It is no difficult matter for school hoys oi school girl- to col lect a large number of bugs or insects After the State department ha- studi- I these and made drawings of them it is quite ready to return the specimens in such shape that they will last lor years; they will be labeled so that the pupils can study them intelligently. MUSEUM IN NEW CAPITOL. The department of agriculture has quite a large museum on the fifth tloor of the new capitol Any person wish ing excitement can lind plenty ot it there. At least a dozen largi nakes arrive daily; there are live rattlesiiakes and copperheads,as well .t- live adders and others less venomous Two small boxes contain rattlesnakt - five 1• ■ t long; in one are yellow rattlers, in the other, black rattlers Their rattles sound a vigorous alarm wl eiicver the box is touched roughly. Professor Surface state-that th. rat tlesnakesaud the copperheads ar. th only really venomous snake- in the State. Many other snakes arc really harmless, and in many cases 111■ • \ a t ually do beneficial work. II \TCHING SNAKES Kven n dozen snakes a da) not a large enough supply to suit tie de partinent, mi it has started a snake in cubator. Scores ol snake egg- are hatching out. Saturday morning a black snake was partially hatched, its head projected only an inch from tin shell, but it showed sign- ol vigorous life, darting its tongue out and biting the lingers of Professor Surfai > . This snake even at maturity i- not venom ous. The small one now h itch in • an spotted; as they grow older they h. Come perfectly black A hlaek snaki hatched a week ago i- now a foot long; the attendants pick up a hand ful of small black snak< is n adily c if they were handling -o many • her ries. A number of house ,-nake- w n- in the incubator also: these snake- kill rats and mice and keep l inn houses free from vermin. They are <|uill harmless. SNAKES PLAYED P<>SSI'M. Some very vicious looking snake called spreading adders, were pro liounced harmless. They are usually regarded as most dangerous. The at tendants handled several likeh speci mens without gloves ;the tongues dart ed out simulating the action ot the really deadly serpents; hut although the reptiles were tossed up in tie air, and were handled aftei tin manner of footballs, no one was injured in tin least. One of the snakes finally grew tired of being maltreated and stiinui ated death, turning over oil its hack, lying motionless. It lay with its mouth open and its head flattened as if crushed : no amount of rough treat ment sufficed to make it move unless it were turned over. Then it wh.rlcd onto its back instantly evidently rea soning that a snake could not lie dead except in that position. HICKORY HORN DEVIL SECURED In another portion of the museum are 800 larvae cages. Probably a more repulsive set of worms was never col lected. The department studies all ot those, learning particularly on what tliev feed and what parasites feed up on them. Some of the most repellant ones are really not injurious Saturday morning a large green larva arrived at the department sent by .1 R. Gilmore, of Chamliersburg. The specinn u is known as the hickory horn devil. The larva is an enormous green worn s, veil inches long and covered with horns All stages of ilevolopiue.ilt front the egg to the full image may be seen at the museum. In many casi - the pupa i form ing inside of tin; glass case so that the process l - perfectly visibb The work of the department along this line ot investigation is much more enormous than is generally realized The main object is to benefit the farm er ; to teach him who his friends are. Almost daily the department receives specimens of the " thcssala.

THE MAHONING ; TOWN CLOCK | The town clock on the Mahoning j Presbyterian church on Saturday af ternoon proclaimed the correct time for approxiniately two hours and a half. This nan unusual record for the Mahoning time piece, which for a long time |iast has been giving us any old time. Were the clock to take a notion to strike once more it would prove an unfamiliar sound. Edward Lunger, who has tlio winding and regulating of the Mahoning town clock in charge is authority for the statement that the clock has not struck for two years. Indeed, the old clock is derelict in so many ways that it isa'inestion wheth er, instead of proving a convenience, it i- not something directly the oppo-ite Any person who regulates his mov< incuts by the town clock and starts out to make a train is apt either to mi it altogether or to have a long wait. It would bo interesting to know how many persons the clock has deceived ; how many appointments have not boon kept through its instrumentality. Viewed thus all will agree that a clock that does not keep correct time is worse than none at all. .fust now the town clock has a penchant forgo ing fast and seems to he struggling to break its own record. What the old clock needs is a gener al overhauling. It has done son ice for some fifty years, it is true, but il has by no moans outlived its usefulness. It was overhauled seven years ago by 1 lonry Kempo, who repaired the escape ment and inserted new bushing at one of the wheels. Since that time noth ing has been done to the clock. Why it has not been thought necessary to put any repairs on the clock during this long interval it would bo hard to tell. The iow n clock was iiiiiuuiactured at Norristown by Jacob 1). Cusier. It is ;i first class piece of mechanism and if properly repaired and taken care of will no doubt give the best of service for many years to come. If is hoped that some one will take the initiative and agitate the matter a little. The tow n clock should be putin order. Well Worth Trying. \V.
