We are proud of most of our sub- scribers, but like all other publishers, we have the good, the bad and the in- different. We are especially proud, however, of subscribers like Prof. E. J. Egan, who started out to make his mark in the world with nothing but a good name and lots of determination to succeed. Only a few years ago Mr. Egan was toiling among the farmers of Elk Lick township for such meager wages as a crippled boy could command, but we are glad to note that today he is a prominent and honored man in educa- tional circles. He is now one of the instructors in the Maryland Collegiate Institute, a eell-known and excellent institution located at Union Bridge, Carroll county, Md. where he has charge of the Book-Keeping, Banking and Arithmetic -department. He is a very bright man, and his success is due to study and proper self-application. He studied hard while many young men far more favorably situated were idling away their time, smoking stink- ing cigarettes, reading Socialist litera- ture, etc., and making themselves be- lieve that the whole world was tramp- ing on them. Following is a letter recently receiv- ed from Prof. Egan, and it is the kind of a letter that never fails to make an editor feel that life is worth living: UxioN BRIDGE, Mbp., Apr. 19, 1906. Mz. STAR MAN, Elk Lick, Pa. Dear Sir:—Why didn’t I receive one? I noticed in THE STAR that you sent out a number of statements, request- ing remittance on subscriptions. I did not receive one, and therefore feel either honored or slighted, I do not know which, and will not lose much time trying to find out, but enclose a check for $2.00, believing that you will know the rest, and continue to send me “The Great Luminary.” The longer I read it the more I enjoy it. I am enjoying pleasant and profitable work. Wishing you continued success and prosperity, I am respectfully yours, E. J. Egan. BIG COAL DEVELOPMENT. The Penn-Garrett Coal Company Own 9,000 Acres in Garrett and Allegany Counties, Md. At the recent session of the Mary- land Legislature, a bill introduced by Senator Brown, of Garrett county, was passed, incorporating the Penn-Garrett Coal Mining Company, of Garrett county, Md. The incorporators named in the bill are Robert O. MeCandlish, Clarence B, Guard, Walter W. Savage, Charles A. Mitchell and David 8. Cus- ter, all well known residents of Garrett county, who represent a number of Philadelphia capitalists. The Phila- delphia parties are the owners of tracts of land underlaid with coal, aggregat- ing about 9,000 acres, in the .vicinity of Friendsville, Garrett county, and the purpose of incorporating the above company is to take over the above coal properties and operate the same. Un- der the general incorporation laws of the state, a coal company cannot incor- porate for the purpose of owning and operating more than one thousand acres of coal lends in Allegany county, nor more than five hundred acres in Garrett county, hence the necessity of securing a special act of the legislature in order to enable these parties to op- erate their extensive holdings as an incorporation. The company is also empowered to manufacture and deal in coke, and to build and own railroads for the purpose of conducting its busi- ness. The company is prohibited, how- ever, from conducting what is known as “company stores,” and it has no power to authorize any of its officers or agents to do so. The authorized capital stock of the company is $100,000.00 divided into 1,000 shares of $100 each, and is given the power to increase its capital stock from time to time to $500,000, upon the vote of two-thirds of all the stock there- tofore issued. The company has not as yet organized, the above gentlemen having at present full power and au- thority to execute all the corporate powers of the company. The act pro- vides that the affairs of the company shall be controlled by a board of not less than seven, not more than eleven directors. The charter of the company is made perpetual, and its principal office will be located at Friendsville. The company is prohibited from hold- ing or possessing more than ten thou- sand acres of land in this state. DeWarren H. Reynolds, attorney for the company, and who prepared the act of incorporation, was seen last night by a Daily News representative, and he stated that the company would organize in the near future and imme- diately thereafter commence active operations by installing an extensive mining plant, and building such trans- portation lines as were necessary. He stated that the men back of the com- pany were wealthy and substantial men of Philadelphia, who intended to make their company a factor in the coal trade of Western Maryland. — Cumberland News.

Boys need, most of all, to be taught how to observe and study, to study things themselves, rather than the names of things; to acquire correct habits of thought, to investigate and discover for themselves what they wish to know. To this end it seems to me our schools are doing excellent work But in what, if any, respects do they fail to meet the demands of business men? In conversation with several men of large experience in my office, and as I have met them in bank, count- ing room, at lunch; and elsewhere I have put the question: “In your ex- perience as a business man, what sort of school training does a boy need?” The question applies, of course, only to boys untrammeled by requirements for admission to college. All were agreed that the boys should leave school with a more thorough training in the rudiments of education, particular- ly in what used to be known as mental arithmetic. If I may generalize, let me say, to sum up, that business men ask: That our schools give boys a more practical training; that they guard against mental indigestion as we would against physical indigestion. That such training be more thorough, particularly in arithmetic and accounts. That more attention be given to English composition, spelling and pene manship. That the school (and perhaps the home) teach the gospel of Work, Work ! This lesson well learned will surely win promotion, give character, study- ing quality, persistence, stick-to-it- iveness and, coupled with thrift, will enable any bright boy to grapple with the problems of life and climb am- bition’s ladder.—New England Grocer. BIRD BOXES. An Increase of Birds Means a De- erease of Insect Pests. The time is at hand when boxes should be built and put in place for nests for birds. Birds do not require expensive nor beautifully finished structures for their nesting places, but rough houses, such as hollow logs cut across and boarded at the ends with a hole in one of the boards will serve the purpose very well. It is said that if boxes or houses for birds are arranged to swing upon string or wire that Wrens and Bluebirds will use them, while the suspicious English Sparrow will avoid them. In the construction of a bird house, it is important to bear in mind that birds enter their nests from the top, and not from the bottom as human bi- peds do in entering their abodes. Therefore the holes in bird boxes should be at the top, or at least some distance above the bottom, or at the middle. There should be but one opening in each box and the size of this hole must be in accordance with the size or kind of bird to use it. The Wren isthe only bird smaller than the English Sparrow, in this state, which nests in bird boxes or houses, and which will enter a hole so small as to keep out the Sparrows. For the cheery little Wrens the hole need not be larger than one inch in di- ameter, while the smallest hole through which the Sparrow crowds is one and one-fourth inches. For Bluebirds it must be one and three-fourths inches in diameter, and through this the Spar- rows pass readily. The way to prevent English Sparrows using boxes designed for Bluebirds is to shoot at the Spar- rows, stone them or otherwise frighten them away about nesting time. They become suspicious and are easily driven away temporarily. After the Blue- birds once really gain possession and decide to make their home in the box or house placed for them, they will fight successfully to protect their chosen site. Martins also nest in boxes, and need an entrance of at least two inches in diameter and an inside box of five or more inches in each dimension. The situation for boxes depends upon the kind of bird for which it is intend- ed. For the Wrens it need be but only a few feet above the ground, as against a porch post, or in the low fork of a tree. For Bluebirds it should be at least eight feet above the ground, as under the eave of a roof,or in a rather open tree, or upon a post from eight to fifteen feet high. For the Martins the box should be on a post, in a rather open place, where they will have free opportunity for flying, and it should be from twenty to twenty-five feet or more above the ground. Since the Martins are sociable birds and nest and live in colonies, it is well to have at least four rooms or nesting places for each box or house. Sections of logs containing abandon- ed Woodpeckers’ holes make good places for the nests of certain kinds of birds. Among these are not only the downy Woodpecker and sometimes the Wrens, but also the Chickadees and Nuthatches. In those regions where these birds nest it is advisable to put up boxes and also clean out holes in the limbs and trunks of old apple trees for them and such other very beneficial birds as the little Owls and Bluebirds, and other kinds that nest in such places. It is also well to legve a few dead posts or branches in the grove or orchard to afford nesting sites for the Woodpeckers and Flickers, which are among our most beneficial birds. “THAT TIRED FEELING.” Don,t want to work, or nothin’, Don’t want to read or walk; Don’t want to drink, don’t want to think— Don’t even want to talk. Don’t want to go to dinner, Don’t want to go to bed ; Can’t seem to rest—this weather’s jest Natur’ly gone to my head. You can hardly call it lazy— You can’t rightly name it sick; But, good land’s sake! how my bones do ache, Whenever I work a lick! It’s just too blame much bother To do anything but lie On the flat o’ yer back and look through a crack In the trees at that warm, blue sky! I know I'd orter make garden, I know I'd orter rake The trash that lays in the yard an’ Be helpin’ my wife to make Soft soap. But I jest can’t do it— I ain’t in the right condition; But if some one ud dig some bait, an rig My tackil I'd go a fishin’! —Cleveland Leader. GROW STRONG AGAIN. Nothing will relieve indigestion that is not a thorough digestant, Kodol Dyspepsia Cure digests what you eat, and allows the stomach to rest—recu- perate—grow strong again. A few doses of Kodol after meals will soon re- store the stomach and digestive organs to a full performance of their functions naturally. Sold by E. H.
