the senior classes of the grammar
schools held its own exercises Iu this

solidated and jointly held commence

Last year's arraugement may have
had some advantages, among them be

spectators. There are many, however,

desire to attend who seem to prefer
that commencement should be held in
the grammar schools of the different

CHILDREN'S
LONG TRAMP
The sympathies of our policemen ami
a few other* were stirred yesterday by j
au odd escapade ou tho part of three ;
' children, who ran away from their |
j home iu Northumberland,
j The children left their home about !
! six o'clock Monday evening, ana ar- !
i rived iu Danville about 8 o'clock yes
terday morning, having walked the
entire distance. The little runaways
consisted of a girl and two boys, the
children of Gabriel Wenrich of North- j
umberland. The girl—Mary Wenrich
—is fourteen years of age. Her broth
ere, Herbert and Raymond, are aged,
respectively, 11 and 12.
J. P. Dunham,a constable of Noith- j
umberland, arrived in this citv on the j
2:11 D. L. & W train yesterday after
noon and began to look around for the |
children. Officer Voris rendered the ;
constable all the assistance ho could j
and the children were Anally located
on Mill street. On the 4:33 D. L. & i
W. train they accompanied the const- 1
able back to Northumberland.
The little girl was bareheaded, but
wore a pair of tan shoes The two !
boys were barefooted and oue had a
sore foot, as tho result of the long :
tramp.
According to their story the chil
dren wont to Sunbury after leaving
Northumberland au.l then struck out
for Danville alorg the river road.
They had not gone far before twilight
faded into darkness; still they groped ,
their way along the lonely couutry ,
roads keeping up their spirits as best
they could.
Abont ten o'clock without knowing
where they were they stopped at a
farm house—told their story and were
kindly taken in for the night. Bright
and early yesterday morning they ie
surned their way. They then learned
that they were only a couple of iniles
from Danville aud easily covered the
rest of the distance.
The children, of course, tried to
justify themselves for running away.
It is not necessary to repeat their story,
which may or may not be consistent
with facts. Their father has been
three times married, the mother of the
runaway children being the first wife,
who died when they were small.
The girl explained to Officer Voris
yesterday that she called her brothers
to her ou Monday aud told them that
she intended to leave. They at once
resolved that if she left they would go
with her.
Arriving in Danville yesterday the
children went to the post office where
they found out the address of a woman
whom they knew. It was at this wo
man's home, ou Mill street, where
during the afternoon the children were
found by the officers.
AN INDIAN GREETING.
The Salutation a Canadian Heard on
tho Columbia River.
Telling about the Indians of the Pa
cific coast as he found them In IS4O,
Paul Kane, the Canadian artist, tried
to give au idea of their language as he
found it at tbat time. The example
which he quous would have delighted
Max Muller, audit may interest some
readers in this country. In his "Wan
derings of an Artist" he seems not to
recall any particular Individual of the
name of Clark who might have Im
pressed the Indians of the Columbia
river, but American readers will at
once think of the comrade of Major
Lewis In the famous expedition of
1803.
I would willingly give a specimen ot
the barbarous language of this people
were it possible to represent by any
combination of our alphabet the hor
rible. harsh, spluttering sounds which
proceed from their throats, apparently
unguided either by the tongue or lip.
says Mr. Kane, it is so difficult to ac
quire a mastery of their language that
uoue have been able to attain It ex
cept those who have been born anions
them.
They have, however, by their Inter
course with the English and French
traders succeeded iu amalgamating
after a fashion some words of each of
these tongues with their own and in
forming a sort of patois, barbarous
enough certainly, hut still sufficient to
enable them to communicate with the
traders.
This patois I was enabled after some
short time to acquire and could con
verse with most of the chiefs with tol
erable ease.
Their common salutation is "Oak-hob
nh-ynh." originating, as 1 believe, in
their ancestors having heard In the
early days of the fur trade a gentle
man named Clark frequently addressed
by his friends. "Clark, how are you?" !
This salutation is now applied to ev
ery white man.for their own language
affords no appropriate expression.— 1
Minneapolis Journal.
A Curious Music Box.
In the South Kensington museum, In
London, is a curious musical boa It
was originally the property of Tipu (or
Tlppoo) Sahib, the "Tiger of Mysore,"
who died in 17' JO, being killed during j
the British assault and capture of Ser- i
ingnpatam, the capital of Mysore. He
always hated the British, and to show
his enmity he had this instrument con
structed. The box is n life sized stat
uary group showing the symbolic tiger
of India nt the throat of England, rep
resented by a British officer. When
Tippoo wished to amuse his court one
of his attendants turned a handle, when
the tiger emitted horrible growls and
the man raised and lowered his arms
and uttered terrifying shrieks. Instde
the tiger are four rows of pipes and a
set of ivory keys, which are either of
French or British manufacture.

AN EVANGELiST'S
fcXPOIOCt
Dauville's evangelist, W. D. Lau-:
master,yesterday left for Jersey Shore, j
where he is eugaged in special work.
Mr. Laumaster's services arc very !
much in demaud.
About a week ago he returned from j
Keswick colony in New Jersey, where
he spent three weeks anil had some
unique experiences. The colony is j
located in the pine lands of New '
Jersey. It is peopled by men from the
large cities—men who have been un
fortunate, who belong to the "down
and out" class aud who but for just
such assistance as is rendered at the
colony would never be able to rise
again.
jl A farm is maintained in connection
with the colouy and the men are all
supposed to work. While some cut
down the piue trees,which are sold in
the neighborhood for wood, others
cultivate the fields. All the work is
done by the "colonists," each select- !
iug the work that he is best fitted for,
some doiug the cooking, others tend- i
ing the cattle, others ploughing, &c.
Twenty-five to liftv men are in the
colony.
No drink can be obtained within ten
miles. The men derive benefit there
both physically and spiritually. Re
ligious services are held every morn
ing among tlie men and at night in t lie
chapel for the benefit of the neighbor
hood as well as the colonists.
Previous to tiie three weeks at Kes
wick colouy Mr. Lauiuaster filled an
engagement at Cumberland, Md. He
expects to be busy pretty much all!
summer. He will spend July and Aug
ust in Philadelphia, where lie will be j
eugsi: il in open air and tent work.

TO SAVE THE DROWNING.
Surgeon Advocates Cutting Open the
Chest and Working Heart by Hand.
It in believed by Dr. D. F. Sullivan,
wlio while operating 011 Nuncio C. \
Chial at Si. Francis' hospital hi Hart
ford, Conn., the other day twice saved
his patient from death by gently
grasping the heart and squeezing it in
time with its normal pulsations until it
heat again of its own accord, that :
many lives might be saved by this J
method of artificial respiration. To all j
appearances the man was dead twice, !
and yet he lived again when the heart \
was squeezed, sending the blood euurs- j
ing through the arteries.
I >r. Sullivan thinks that If a person '
could be operated upon immediately 1
after being taken from the water in j
many drowning cases life might he \
conserved. lie advocates opening the
body and removing the ribs until the
heart is visible and is accessible in
order that the lingers may be inserted
to handle it.in many accidents life
still lingers long after the person seems
to have ceased to breathe.
To Cut Out Clapping In Theater.
A new method by which the audience
at a theater can show Its approval »r
disapproval of a play without disturb
ing the performance is suggested by ;
the Italian dramatist. Traversl. Before
leaving the theater every person is to
drop a ticket into one of three lioxes i
marked "good." "Indifferent" or "bad."
Progress In Mexico.
A notable example of the industrial j
advance now taking place in Mexico is
the recent erection of n packing house
covering about twenty acres of ground, j
The power used is electric, and the |
machinery equipment comprised forty
live car loads, 05 per cent of which j
was of American make.

LONG BUFFALO DRIVE.
Largo Herd For Canada to Be Driven
Over Eighty Miles.
The buffalo herd which is corralled
near I.amont. in Canada, has wintered
well, and since the roundup commenced
In Montana last year less than l' L . per
cent have been lost.
Arrangements are being made to
bring up another 300 head. Michael
Pablo is getting them together 011 his
ranch iu Montana. Pablo has built a
fence twenty-three miles long, from
the mountains to his home, and the
buffaloes are driven along the fence into
the corral. I.ast year he had IN"' horses
and 03 men on the range for three
weeks, but he found this too expensive
and has adopted the new plan for get
ting the remainder of the herd.
The 400 head brought to Canada last
year were shipped by freight trains,
but several were killed in loading and
unloading, and the feeding aud water
ing were accomplished under difficul
ties. This year an attempt will be
made to drive the herd up from Mon
tana to Lamont, a distance of more
than eighty miles, says a Lamont cor
respondent of the New York Post. Im
agine an eighty mile drive of -100 wild
buffaloes across land. It will be ono
of the greatest undertakings in the
history of cowpunching.
These buffaloes have been fed 011 hay
all winter, about seven tons being used
daily, but the mild winter made it pos
sible for them to forage for themselves.
Those in the preserve at Lamont are
in the best of condition, and at least a
hundred calves are expected during the
next few weeks. The government is
now calling for tenders for a wire
fence around the preserve which will
be more than seventy miles long and
will cost approximately §BO.OOO.
The preserve is so arranged that for
eight miles the railroad runs along one
side of the park, giving passengers a
chance to see the herd, thus adding
another attraction to western Canada.
This Is now said to lie the largest herd
of buffaloes in the world. With the ar
rival of the other herd it will be dou
bled, and before the end of the year
the herd will number close to a thou
sand. with a probable net increase of
full 2.'i per cent annually.

WONDERS OF WATER.
Extent to Which Fluid Mingles With
Bodies Apparently Solid.
The extent to ■which water mingles
with bodies apparently solid is won
derful. The glittering opal which
beauty wears as an ornament Is only
flint and wnter. In every plaster of
paris statue which an Italian earrles
through our streets for sale these is
one pound of water to every four
pounds of chalk. Tbe air we breathe
contains fire grains of water to eooh
cubic foot of its bulk. The potatoes
and turnips which are boiled for our
dinner hnve In their raw state tbs one
75 per cent and the other 1)0 per cent
of water.
If a man weighing ten stoDe were
squeezed flat in a hydraulic press
seven and one-half stoue of water
would run out and only two aud one
half stone of dry residue remain. A
man is. chemically speaking, forty-five
pounds of carbon and nitrogen diffused
through live and a half pailfuls of
water, in plants we find water thus
mingling In no less wonderful a man
ner.
A sunflower evaporates one and a
quarter pints of water a day and a
cabhnge about the same quantity. A.
wheat plant exhales in 172 days about
100.000 grains of water. An acre of
growing wheat, on this calculation,
draws and passes out about ten tons
of water per day.
The sap of plants Is the medium
through which this mass of fluid Is
conveyed. It forms a delicate pump
by which the watery particles run
with the rapidity of a swift stream.
By the action of the sap various prop
erties may be communicated to the
growing plant. Timber in France is,
for instance, dyed by various colors
being mixed with water and poured
over the root of the tree. Dahlias are
also colored by a similar process.—Lon

Making It Clear.
A very young child was saying his
prayers at the bedside in his grand

ward iu the saddle and threw the reins
down iu loops so as to avoid pulling
the horse backward. Again on reach
ing the top of the bank the horse rear
ed a second time, ana the president
leaned forward again, but the animal
stood up straight on its hind legs and
then went over backward into the
I creek with the president.
SLIPPED FROM SADDLE.
Feellug that he was going back
ward, ilia president slipped ficm tlie
saddle, aud an iuok would have it,fell
into the creek close beside the horse,
which landed on its back. The horse
fell ou the down stream side of the
president, wlio, realizing that he would
he in danger from the animal's feet
should the horse turn towards him,got
out of the way as rapidly as possible.
The horse, however, turned over from
the president and got up. He was cap
tured at once, the president remount
ed and rode for an iiour and a half be
fore returning to the White House.
The fall from the horse's back to the
stream bed was a distance of more
than ten feet. The stream was about
two feet deep with an excedingly rooky
I bed. Neither the president nor the
j horse received the slightest injury.
HAS TENDENCY TO REAR,
j President Roosevelt's two regular
riding horses were out of commission,
yesterday, both being indisposed. The
president's orderly wished to try out
the new horse but the president took
it upon himself to do this. He regards
the horse he rode as a good one,but be
ing young, he has a tendency to rear
up ou slight provocation.
The president was dressed in khaki,
and the fact that he got thoroughly
wet did not become apparent to those
who saw him a'ter the accident. Sev
eral carriages which had crossed the
ford just ahead of the president stop
ped and the occupants were alarmed
at what was happening. The experi
ence with its many serious possibilit
ies has not dulled the edge of the
president's pleasure in riding, and he
takes considerable gratification in the
test of iiis horsemanship as both times
the animal reared he instinctively
tlirewhimself forward so that his head
was directly beside that of the rearing
animal and the reins being thrown
looee had no tension whatever to pull
the horse backward.
