TII15 CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, MAKOIt l, tititi. THE POSTJOY PASSES. His Picture not Upon the New Special Delivery Stamp. The historic pom boy lmsnod Into history with the arrival of n new assortment of spocial delivery stamps, w.ilch bear designs minus tho mythical youth on a bicycle. Post boys -themselves were nbotlshed from tbo service about two years ago, but tho design of the boy riding a wheel was retained on the special delivery stamps. Tho new mump are smaller than the old ones and are scarcely bigger than the new fifteen cont Is suer. Since the beginning Of the postal system there ha; been a place In Its heart for the post boy. It was tho post boy of our grandmothers and grandfathers who deliverer the mall at all times of the year, and whoso picture adorned the early Issues of stoinps. Through softness of heart th Government at Washington al lowed his hpnre to be kept on the special delivery stamps, but now ho has to (to The early stamps pictured him riding at breakneck speed on a horse, the later ones put hiin on a railroad train or mrll cart, then ho ran on loot for a while, and then ho was given a blccl.

Issued in Washington doinr away with tho necessity of purchasing special deliv ery stamps there has been a total fal'Ing off of about 2 000 0n0 special delivery stamj s.

A CYC-ONE FREAK. Surprislnr Trick Played by a Twister In Nebraska. New York City. On Juno 4 last the inhabitants of Buffalo county, Ne braska, and particularly of tho town of Kearney, were besieged by no less than seven tornadoes. We are in debted to Edwaru V. Bricker for tho accompanying photograph of one of CASTER DRIVhN THROUGH TIIEB LIMB. the curious effects produced by ono of these, and foi the following brief Information, says S ientHU- American. That a number uf house., should have beer, wholly and In part destroy ed is naturally to be oxpeL'tu of any cyclone that b at all violent But that it should :ick up a caster from a table, t-'ist oft the handle and drive the spindle through the branch of a walnut tree Is surely no common oc currence. Mr. Brlckcr assures us that before the atonu tl.e lotur found a placo on the table of Mr (i P. Franks, that It wa. intact with the bottles In their Intended positions; yet after tho tornado tho base was found in a wal nut tree limb, exactly as It is shown In the accompanying photograph. The wind had unscrewed the top and tak en off the turntable. Ono of tho bot tles was found with twljs densely packed Into Its neck, without a leaf stiipped. The bottle, however, was broken. Tent Stove-pipe Opening. If a stove is used in n tent there must bo an opei ing for the stove pipe, and this should be lined with some thing which will not burn. An ordi nary piece of tin sewed Into a hole in the roof answers every purpose, except that o.i a windy day It Is very noisy. For my last camping trip I mado an arrangement which proved satisfactory. It can be duplicated as follows: First ci tho material, a pleco of zinc 12x14 Inches, a piece ot asbestos cord two fet l ng, and a pair of leather shoe lacua. In the center of the zinc cut an oval opening, 4 1-2 x6 inches, and around It one-half inch from It, and threo-fourths ot an Inch apart, punch a row of holes large enough to admit the asbestos cord. Next laco tho cord through a hole over the edge c. tho zinc and through the next, and so on all the way around. This brings tho cord against the pipe, making It noiseless, and be ing of asbostos, It will not burn. Now sew the zinc to tho tent with tha leather shoo laces, having the canvas over the zinc at tho upper sldo and underneath tho rest of the way. This makes It watertight. Wra. D.

Always keep yeung poultry out of v, et grass and never allow them to iuii at large when the weainer is cold enough tr thoroughly chill them. How often have we heard it said "Let the old c;.l die." Do we say "Let the old rdostei go"? An old long spurred rootter with decreased vitality had hotter meet the meat axe; it will pay in the end If a town breeder, and a littlo lot no bigger than a ualf-grown turnip patch, can raise pure bred fowls, what could be done on j (arm where feed is plentiful and the chickenb have all out-of-doors in which to range? The trouble isn't with the fowls. What Are Vou Feeding For? Feeding fowls for eggs 13 not like leeding fowls for market. Eggs are complete In the element that supply all the requisites for growth, as is clearly proven by the appllcatio- of a certain degree of warmth for a cer tain lengt.i of time, when a chick comes forth as proof that these essen tial elements were present. This Is a fact that, should not be overlooked, for It teaches that fowls who can lay eggs must havo food that contains ap propriate elements to produce eggs. Good health, tarly moulting, age, breed, appetite, cleanliness, are fac tors to be consiie.rd in winter egg production. A HANOY HANTLE. Used on Coops It Permitb Their Be ing Placed Close Together. This illustration shows a handle which permits r. placing a number of Loxes, poultry coops, or other remov able articles, so provided, close to- HANDLE BEFORE AND AFTER, gether. It consists, as will bo seen, of a pivot handle which drops of Its own weight when the box or coop Is set down, and which, when tho box is to bo lifted, will remain linn between the two checks, as shown -t tho right Fresh Air for Fowls. It is safo to remember that nature intended fowls to roost out in the open air and that they never do well when housed In tight buildings where tho air soon becomes laden with Im purities. A poultry house must not let In drafts but must be well venti lated. Keep b the Fight. Lice are not -o noticeable In cold weather. Perhaps they do not breed as rapl'My but their bite Is just as sharp. Do not think there are no Hco In the poultry house Just bo cause the woather is ' cold but keep fighting them Just the same. A Blind Policy. The breeding ot pure bred stock ot any kind is regarded by many people as simply a bobby. Some people say a mongrel hen is good enough for them. It may be but they aro certain ly blind W their best interest!. i I j TO VASH VEGETABLES. Placed In a Cylinder and Cleaned as Latter Revolves. How often people aro hoard to Bay thnt thoy do not oat this or that In hotels and restaurants because thoy do not know If It has bee'ii elenned properly. In the old days, when tho process of properly cleaning, this ob jection was a fair one, but now It has loss ground for existence. With the advent of the nutnurous time and Inbor snving devices, tho food Is Just as cloan In first-class restaurants mid hotels as It Is nt home, and ono of tho Inventions that have brought ntiout this Improvement Is the vegetable washer dovised hy a New Hampshire man. In appearance the vegetable washer looks very much llko tho paper stands seen on store countors. It comprises n stnnd on which a hol low cylinder rosts upon an axis. Tho cylinder has nn opening on one side and a scrow top for tho opening. Tho whole Is water-tight. The vegctnbloa 1 are placed in the receptnelo, which i? filled with water, tho top screwed ou and tho cylinder revolved by moans of a handle. Quaint Old-Time Custom. Custom decrees that a gold coin, or at the very least, silver, shall b? put under the mainmast of each new ;h'p launched. -The coin bears the dite i tho year when the vessel is compk ifrt n fact well known to collectors, vi keep an eye on ships thnt are 1!' n'y to bo the depository of nitinismaiii' prizes, says Pearson's Weekly. Thus, at Liverpool some years ba"'; a derelict Yankee schooner, bo' r'it for a song, yielded an 1S04 dollar t1" rarest and most eagerly sought a'''i of all American coins. It sold n ad'ly for $6,000, and would be worth to-day at least double that sum, for it was In perfect preservation, having rested In Its cotton wool wad beneath the hollow "stepping" of the mast since tho day it was first placed in position. Its recovery was the result of fore sight and business enterprise, com bined, of course, with special knowl edge. A man passing the worthless , hulk on the day of tho sale noticed the date, 1804, on her stern and right ly guessed that she might be the bear' er of a dollar of that year. In the same way have been pre served and recovered many of the an cient silver Scottish pennies known as dolts which were so thin that twelve of them were barely equal In value to tho penny sterling. The old Scot tish shipbuilders of the days when these coins were in circulation used, with characteristic national thrift! ness, to put one of them beneath each mast they "stepped," in preference to the more valuable groat. Guests at This Hotel Do Not Pay. Essen, Germany, has a hotel a first-class hotel at which the princi pal guests never have to pay for their accommodations. It Is owned by Frau Borthn Krupp, the richest wom an in Germany, and owner of the great Krupp works, at Essen. She runs It at a loss of more than $100,000 a year. This hotel was built by Frau Krupp for the entertainment of tho representatives of foreign Govern ments who visit Esson for the purpose of purchasing war material or who stay at Essen to superintend tho exe cution of orders. Emissaries from the Emperors of Japan and Russia, from the Kings of Roumaula, Bulgaria, Spain, Norway and Sweden, as well as from the Presidents of the Central and South American republics, havo been enter tained at tho Krupp hotel for months at a time in tho most princely stylo. Ordinary travellers sometimes can find accommodations at the Krupp hotel, but only when the rooms aro not required for Frau Krupp's for eign official guests. International Manners. A German Hdy, wo perceive, has started a school wherein the art of eating is taught. Not tho art of ac quiring food, but the art of dealing with It when It Is on tho table. An International school of table manners would do as much as The Hague Con ference to reconcile animosities. There is really nothing, for example, In which wo could not agree with the Amorlcan if he would only como over to tbo British notion of eating an egg. Possibly the Rhodes scholars will think the matter out at Oxford. Westminster Gazette. Sitting In the Shadow. Ono evening when Luther saw a littlo bird perched on a tree roost thero tor the night, ho said: "This littlo bird has had its supper, and now It is getting ready to go to sleep hero, quite secure and content, never troubling itself what its food will bo, or where its lodging on the morrow. Llko David, It 'abides under tho shadow ot the Almighty.' It sits on Its little twig content, and lets God tako care." SUGGESTIVE QUE6TIBNS On the Sunday School Le&eon by Rev.

On any view of the future life, what escape Is there from the result of mor al law? viz., that right doing produces happiness, wrong doing produces mis- cry, that actions form habits, that in turn form character, which produces eternal destiny?

Why did Jesus permit the devils to enter this herd of swine? Give soma examples of how God In all ages has used tho Devil to accom plish his purposes, and say why he does so.

Ai to the deatructlveness in comparison with the recent calamity in Sicily, It may be said that in the Lisbon earth quake thero perished about 65,000 peo ple. The lite loss from the Messina disaster has not as yet been fully agreed upon, but In all probability H did not greatly exceed that ot 1755, Tho property loss In the Portuguesa city was probably in excess of that which took place in Menslnn, slnca LtBbon was much richer than was tha Italian city. Our Extravagance. UiiTUHsIng England and the Eng lish from an Amorlcan point of view, n re'vnt American writer In England observes: "Nobody, from tho kind down. Is either Ashamed or afrnld to he econo mical. In England n man or a wom an Is thought to he a fool or a vul garian who Is not careful of expendi ture, while In America our waiters have been clever enough to make It appear that economy Is mean, nnd as a n?Mon we suffer accordingly. We are fools to be tooled ',n this manner." The Naked Truth. Thero Is an ancient fablo whleli tells us that, on a summer afternoon Truth nnd Ffllsohoo-1 sc-t out to bathe together. They found a crystal spilng. Thoy bathed in the cool, fre-ih water, and Falsehood, emerging first, clothed herself In the ginnents or Truth nnd wont her way. But Trt-'.i. unwilling to put on fho garb of F:!'ehood, departed naked. And to th's day Falsehood wears Truth's fair whie robe, so thnt many persons tri tn'e her for Truth's very self, but poor Triuh silll goes naked. Found at Last. "Why did you never marry, Tom?"

I was difficult to please, but after many years I found her." "Lucky beggar!. And then" "She was looking for the ideal mm," replied tho bachelor sadly. !i.""-VnHa Inquirer. vr OTICK OF INCORPORATION lN Notice Is horoby given that an application will bo mado to the Governor of tho Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, on 21th day of March, 1010, by Jacob P.
