The Northern Mine The Southern
Gray lly David Harvey.
Wherever comrades may repose,
free from the bugle's call,
As heroes, they in niem'ry live, torn,
scar'd by stool and ball;
There let us meet and mingle tears
in unison to-day,
And scatter lloral wreaths, alike,
upon the blue and gray,
The few remaining "Vets," with
pride, and trembling, tottering
tread
All join to decorate the graves of
our heroic dead.
The breach of peace that once pre
vailed, from age has died
away,
The tears of love are shed the same
upon the blue and gray.
With din of battle on their ear, the
Kpmif nf war in mind. I
Our brave defenders, aged, gray, are
dropping out of line.
E're long the "taps," will call the
last true Soldier Boy away,
Who may have worn the Northern
blue perhaps the Southern
gray.
No slab of granite mark the spot
where many warriors rest;
No loving hands with garlands fair
to lay upon their breast;
But yet the stars that guard each
mound of consecrated day.
Smile down with equal rays of love
on both the blue and gray.
They laid their guns and swords
aside with many a manly
shout:
From earthly service, one by one,
were gently mustered out.
And as the ilowers of .May adorn
their silent graves to-day,
Our Nation clasps the hands of
peace o'er both the blue and
giay.

NOT A PAHSNXGKK KILLICD
On (he Pennsylvania System in a
Train Accident in 11)08.
Philadelphia, May 20. Reports of
all accidents on the 23,000 miles of
track of the Pennsylvania Railroad
system show that in 1908 the vari
ous lines carried 141,059,543 pas
sengers, and that not a passenger
was killed as the result of an ac
cident to a train.
The lines carried 1 1,344,413 few
er passengers than in 1907, a loss
of 7.4 per cent., but the total of
passengers Injured in train acci
dents was only 102, a reduction of
452, or 81. G per cent, from 1907.
These .figures include every case re
quiring surgical or medical atten
tion. Only ono of every 1,388,819
passengers carried was Injured.
The number of passengers travel
ling a distance of one mile during
the year was 3,457,G71,4C2, so that
for each passenger carried ono mile
33,898,73!) were carried in safety
to ono injured.
The passenger trains in 1908
trn"elled 58,440,449 miles. Freight
trains travelled 60,293,990 miles.
Of the subsidiary lines, Independ
ently operated, the record of the
Long Island Railroad Is most strik
ing. That line carried In the year
23,242,838 passengers and only
seventeen wore injured In train ac
cidents. This line has been operat
ed for fifteen years without a fa
tality to a passenger due to a train
wreck.
The Bishop's Job."
A bishop was staying with a friend
In a country house. On Sunday
morning as ho passed through the
library, he found a small boy curled
up In a bis chair, deeply Interested
in a book.
"Are you going to church, Tom?"
he asked.
"No, sir," he replied.
"Why, I am," said the bishop.
, "Huh," said the boy, "you've got
to go, it's your Job."
recommended, wilt be obliged to get
along with much less than half that
sum; but even that amount laid out
for labor and materials largely fur
nished within the county, within the
next two years, Is not to be despised.
It Is also gratifying to note that, of
all the appropriations made outside
of the State Hospital, the only one
not reduced by the blue pencil of the
Governor, was for the benefit of the
Honcsdale Hospital Association, the
application for which was made by
Hon. Leopold Fuerth, author of the
bill incorporating the Institution.

Device to Save Trouble for People
Oil' Itural .Mall Kontcs.
John W. White, former county
treasurer of Clay City, has Invented
a device on which a patent will soon
he Issued for the delivery of rural
mnll. The purpose of the invention
Is that of conveying the mall to and
from residences at a distance from
the route, doing away with the ne
cessity for walking back and forth
to the stationary boxes along the
line. The cnrrler, on coming to a
station by the roadside, puts the
mall for a patron who lives n quar
ter or oven a half mile away Into a
small receptacle, or box, for the
purpose and shoots it over a strand
of wire which has been adjusted be
tween points; this signals Its arrival
at the residence, it is emptied, and
matter to he mailed is deposited
into it, when it is shot back to the
carrier, making the round at the
rate of a mile a minute. By a very
simple manipulation the impetus is
given it at either end to carry the
special box over the line. The in
ventor says that it can be adjusted
so as to make delivery a mile from
the rural route. Indianapolis News.
CITIZKN'S 5 MILK RACK
In iiopes that every athlete will
read the following suggestions, they
are heroin printed for their guid
ance. First, before competing, or even
entering upon the course of train
ing necessary to compete in this
event safely, each arhlete is ad
vised to have his heart examined.
Second, not only should the athlete
have his arms and body covered in
his practice, but ho should likewise
wear a loose fitting pair of long
woolen trousers, and he should have
his feet well protected, by strong
solos, from the pebbles and hard
road, and thus avoid bruises.
Tobacco and liquor should be
avoided, as no man can get in his
best condition and partake of these
things; especially Is this true of the
young athlete who has not formed
the hab'it of depending upon these
stimulants.
The training should be started
with long walks at a rapid gait with
frequent jogs, and the distance of
the jog should be gradually in
creased until by the 15 of Jlay every
contestant can safely jog at about
two-thirds his best speed the full
course of five miles without great
inconvenience. Ho should be es
pecially sure to cover up warmly af
ter his work, and after his heart
and lungs have resumed their nor
mal rhythm, and his temperature
has becomo normal, to bo rubbed
down in a warm room, free from
draughts, after which ho should rest
in bed warmly covered up for at
least an hour.
While the man running feels
warm, his arms and shoulders being
exposed to the cold air it is very
easy for him to contract rheuma
tism and colds, which will result'
later In life In much pain and discomfort.
THEY ALMOST FOUGHT,
The Angular Chap and the Stern
faced Man Havn a Little Talk.
The angular chap who had been
jotting down aotes on the margin ol
a newspaper approached the stern
faced man In the watorproof collar.
"Beg pardon, sir; but could I ask
you a question?"
"If it isn't nonsensical."
"Well, my memory Isn't good of
late. Who invented the sowing-ma-chino?"
"Howe."
"H'm! Ho must be a little deaf.
Who invented the sowing-machine?"
"Howe."
"Great Scott! I'd better get a
trumpet. The old geezer is as deal
as he can be. Hey, there, who in
vented the sewing-machine?"
"Howe!"
The angular chap leaned over and
curved his hanas. Then he whooped:
"For the last time, who invented
the sewing-machine?"
"H-o-w-o Howe. Mr. Howe. And
now if you ask mo again blamed if I
don't thrash you wKhln an inch of
your life. Now get!"

LOTS OF TROUBLE
RAISING CHICKENS
Continued from Citizen of May 12th.
"Well, husband, what did Ham &
IlittiiiRcr say about the lire'.'"
"Why, they told me to bring down
my fire insurance policy and some of the
ashes from the lire ; as they represent a
good company and this will be all the
evidence that is required."
"Why, didn't they ask you about the
building, and vli;it caused the lire?"
"Yes, I told them that the building
was one storj hili and twenty-four by
thirty-two, and they did not ask me if
I meant inched or feet. They also asked
me how the building was lighted, and I
told them that we used nothing but
kerosene lamps, and that it was the
lamp that exploded that canted the lire
and the great loss of life. Then they
said that owing to the great loss of life,
and everything all burned to ashes, they
would pay the insurance at once."
"Well, 1 am glad that we are not in
sured in some of the oilier insurance
companies. When you notify them, they
come and ask all sorts of questions. You
have to tclltliem the time of the lire and
the color of thu flames, and they want
to know how it started even if you don't
know yourself. They go as far as to
measure the ashes, to see how much
wood or lumber was consumed in the
fire, and after you' go through all this
fuss, they say, 'Well, we will put up
another building for you' ; but Hum A
Hittingcr don't believe in that kind of
business. They say that they only re
present good, reliable companies and,
when there is a lire, pay what they
agree to pay and don't try to cheat
people by a whole lot of imaginary talk.
Say, wife, why those two Rills are the
limit. Here I have my check, and they
never saw the fire or the place where it
happened. Well, well, well t Now we
will be able to start in the poultry busi
ness again. You see that the old saying
is, 'if at first you don't succeed, try, try,
again.' Don't talk about success. We
only had twenty-five dollars invested in
the business, and now we have eight
hundred dollars to start all over new by
just one little brooder burning down.
By George, that's making poultry pay
seven hundred and seventy-five dollars
profit in one month 1 1 wonder if the
Honcsdale Poultry Association, or its
members, can beat that record ! Well,
if they do, they've got to go some. Well,
it's May now, audit' we are going to start
afresh it is about time to begin to make
some preparation. It's getting a little
late to start an incubator ; go down to
the White Mills Incubator and Brooder
Factory and order another brooder. Tell
them to be sure and make it water
proof, and, when it is ready, to call us
upon the phone. Now we will go over to
Decker's and order twenty-five white
leghorns and have them ready by the
time our new brooder conies. May be
lie hasn't any on band just now. Oh,
yes, lie has, though, lie is hutching them
by the bushel basket full this season
three hundred and lil'tv to a lick. Why
lie has it down just like perpetual mo
tion ; all he has to do is to pull out the
drawer and there they are, all you want,
at only a few cents a piece."
"Hello, say, is this twenty-nine?"
"Yes."
"Well, say, your new brooder is ready
for you."
"All right, I will send down .John
Brock right away."
"Oh, there's John ploughing a gar
den ; say, Mr. Brock, will you go down
to the brooder factory and fetcli my new
brooder?"
"Yes, madam ; but I feel awfullydry."
"You men are always dry ; Just wait
a minute and I will get you a drink.
Now, John I don't want you to give me
away ; you see I belong to the Sons of
Temperance and it is strictly forbidden
to touch, taste, or handle.''
"Oh, you need not bo afraid of me ;
I was only too glad to get one. I will
be back in about ten minutes with your
brooder."
John having returned with the brood
er:
"You mav take it around on the other
side of the house, and then it will be
where we intend to use it." After un
loading the brooder. "Well, John, what
is the charge?"
"Oh, a quarter I guess."
"Say, will you Jiave another?"
"No, thank you; the Ladies' Aid meet
at our liouse this afternoon, and I don't
want them to smell my breath."
"Now, wife, liere we have our new
brooder ; just step over to Decker's and
get the leghorns."
Placing the leghorns in the brooder:
"He said the last time the wind blew
and caught our brooder on lire. This
time I will dig a hole in the ground level
with the top of the brooder and then the
wind will blow over the top and there
will bono danger of any fire."
"The brooder being lowered down in
to the hole the lamp was lighted and
everything was left for the night. About
twelve o'clock the wife awoke and said,
"Don't you hear it commencing to rain?
I wonder if the little chicks will get wet,
down in that deep hole?"
"Oh, no, don't you knowthat 1 order
ed it water proof? Lie down and go to
sleep, and trust everything to me."
After awakening in the morning, it
still continued to rain and she said, ttie
first thing, "W will go and eeo tho
little chicks, beforo we start on anything
else."
They both started for the brooder and
to their surprise tho hole had become
full of water, and on lifting tho lid the
little chicks were found to be all drown
ed and floating on tho top of the water.
"The Lord always sliows judgment to
some people," she said: "First you
smashed the brooder to kindling wood ;
then we were burnt out by fire, and now
we are drowned by waterl Oh Lord de
liver us from the poultry business, and
teach my husband some other profes
sion!" "Well say, did you ever have a crop
bound chicken and do you know the
symptoms or cure? When you go to
your hen house you will notice Unit there
is a chicken that :i;M a little strangely.
.She does not move around so lively, nor
does she seem to care about her food.
Probably you do not pay much atten
tion to ner at first, hut at the next visit
you llndtliat she is becoming worse and
at last you decide to catch her to find
out wliat is wrong. After a careful ex
amination, you find that she is crop
bound. Take her out from the flock,
and put her in some other place where
she can have plenty of exercise, but
nothing to eat. Then give her a dose of
castor oil, and at the same time gently
knead the crop. Do this morning and
night, but be sure that she cannot get
anything to cat while under this treat
ment. After two or three days you will
lind that, in most cases, nearly all the
food will have left the crop, but you
must allow the crop to get entirely empty
before giving any food. Then feed
bread and milk for two or three days,
gradually increasing with a little mash,
and finally allow the regular ration of
whatever you may be in the habit of
feeding. This is my own practical ex
perience and I think that you will agree
with me that it is better than using the
knife, which sometimes wo have to do,
when they will not respond to this treat
ment ; but if you have patience you will
find that in the majority of cases, there
is no need of cutting, as the use of the
knife weakens the condition of the bird.

CAVK SNAKES OP SELANGOR.
T.'ir.'r Curious Coloration and now
It Is Suited to Their Habits,.
AO j tit ten years ago H. N. Ridley
c ,. , :ir ration of the limestone
r r i- i !. langor in the Malay penln
s.l.i with the object of ascertaining
.i other they contained any form of
animals, specially adapted for lifo In
complete darkness.
The results were disappointing.
Neither blind, largo eyed nor color
less animals such as Inhabit caves
In temperate regions wore discover
ed. However, It was found that a
pnake, Culber taeniurus, lives in
the caves, whore it feeds exclusively
on tho bats sheltering there in ex
treme abundance, and that these ex
amples are much paler In color than
the typical form of this widely dis
tributed species, which Inhabits east
ern Asia from China to the Malay
Archipelago, and attains a length of
7 feet.
Mr. Ridley thus describes tho col
oration of the cave specimens: Tho
top of the head Is bluish gray and
there is a black lino about an Inch
long through tho eye toward the
neck. Tho neck and back are of a
palo ochreous color, each scale being
tipped with lsabelline, getting paler
toward the tall; tho centre of the
back Is yellowish, and the belly pale
yellowish white along the sides
runs a purplish gray bar, becoming
darker or black toward the tall.
The coloration is remarkably suit
ed to the habits of tho snakes which
frequent the darkest portion of tho
caves, living at a considerable dis
tance from tho mouth, but It may
sometimes be met with at the mouth.
It has a habit of resting on the ledges
of rocks In the neighborhood of the
exits of the caves, with the head
hanging over tho edge, so as to cap
ture the bats as they fly in and out.
The walls of the caves, though of
white crystalline limestone, are not
pure white but of a pale ochreous
yellow, and here and there are black
veins running usually vertically
down the sides. Tho coloring of the
snake is so exactly that of the walls,
the black lines on tho tall represent
ing tho shadow of a crack or pro
jecting vein that the animal when at
rest on the walls Is often exceeding
ly difficult to see and readily escapes
observation, even on the part of
those on a careful lookout for them.
Messrs. Annandale and Robinson,
who also observed tho snake In the
Jalor and Selangor caves, say It Is
usually found in the darkest part of
the cave, but thought It Boomed
dazed and purblind when suddenly
brought out into a bright light It
soon regains normal vision.
Proof of Japanese Enthusiasm.
Tho spectators at wrestling match
es in Japan, pelt the winner with
their hats. This Is a custom with
tho Japanese for showing their ap
preciation of the skill of the winner.
The hats are gathered up by tho at
tendants and handed to the cham
pion. Eventually the owner comes for
ward and redeem their hate with
presents of various kinds. Tho cus
tom In question, Is, it is explained,
due to a recognition of the fact that
enthusiasm, is likely to cool down
shortly after tho event which excited
it is passed. So to prove the genulne
hls hat as a pledge to bo redeemed in
In his cooler moments.
