Whlto of lllooinsburs:. pres ident of tho Stntc Millers' associa tion, secretary of stntc college nnd n ninn closely In touch with tho n? rlcultural situation, after a tour of tho state makes tho statement, founded upon Intimate knowledge, that the crops of 1'eunsylvnnla this year are among tho largest ever harvested. The outs crop Is unquestionably, he says, the largest over grown, al though the storm of last week did considerable damage In this Immed iate section. The crop had been harvested in tho southern port of the state and thnt escaped tho storm, of which little was thought In this section, but which caused tho heavily laden stalks to break off nnd when the crops were harvested this week a considerable quantity of the oats fell out In harvesting. The early potato crop was good nnd the information Mr. White has received from all parts of tho state Is that tho late potato crop never looked so well. From tho Wayne county section down through York nnd Lancaster counties nnd out through tho western part of the state, the same word comes and Mr. White expresses the opinion thnt a wonderfully large crop of potatoes wijl be harvested. More than 20 per cent, greater than In any year during the last ten years will be the average yield of wheat per acre and, generally speak ing, the crops could not be better. The Hesslnn fly has done some dam age In a few sections, but this con dition Is not general. Then, too, tho rye crop Is the largest and best Pennsylvania has ever had. n.iu iu;i;tiji: had chap. Jumps l'lies, Chews up I.ouvo. ami Does Whole Lot of Damage. A farmer prominent In Grange work in Juniata county sent speci mens of insects to State Zoologist Surface, stating that the pests were destroying the buds of his grafts just as they opened. He nsked for the name of the Insects and infor mation on the proper remedy. To this Prof. Surface replied; "The insects which you sent to us destroying the new grafts buds on your peach trees, are flea beetles. They both jump and fly, ns you say. The scientific name of this fellow is Crepldodera ruflpes. This Is new mischief for him to be up to, al though he Is a bad chap. This par ticular Insect is very destructive to the leaves of many kinds of plants, eating little holes In the epidermis or covering, making them appear as though filled with little brown spots. "I note with Interest that you say they nte the quince grafts as well as other fruit buds, Forunately, there Is no trouble in getting rid of this pest if you will spray the grafted buds and leaves with one ounce of arsenate of lead in each gallon of water; you will put them out of commission and protect the plants which otherwise may be se verely Injured by the pest. "This and similar leaf beetles, likewise attacking the potatoes, especially injuring the early plants, art often troublesome. For such plants where you wish to apply a fungicide for diseases like the blight, as well as an insecticide for the chewing Insects, you can add your three pounds of arsenate of lead to fifty gallons of bordeaux mixture." P1USOX OU PAUADISE. Jail So Attractive Prisoners nato Thought of Leaving. Truman Catlln, juiler of the coun ty jail at Litchfield, Conn., believes he has solved the vexatious problem of prison reform. He makes the Jail so attractive that tho prisoners hato the thought of leaving. As a result, he Is able not only to dispense with a lot of expensive keepers, but to op erate the Jail as an employment agency and sends his charges with out guards to labor on the highways and In garden patchoB. in this way he is able at the end of the year to turn over a tidy sum to the county. Tho food is goad, the beds aro comfortable, and every coll Is' decor ated with pictures whloh Jailer Cat lln cuts out of the magazines. Tho cell doors are novor locked. There Is a code of honor among tho Litch field prisoners and they are not go ing to embarrass Jailer Catlln. All tho 60 prisoners are trusties, doing odd jobs about town during the day. Nobody watches them. Philadel phia Record. Learning Honesty. In a little town a faw years ago thero was a shiftless negro boy named Ransom Blake, who, after be ing caught In a number of petty delinquencies, was at last sentenced to a short term in the penitentiary, where he was sont to learn a trade. On the day of his return home ho met a friendly white acquattunce, who asked; "Well, what did they put yon at In the prison, Ranso?" "Dey started In to make an honest boy out'n ma, sah." "That's good, Ranso, and I hopo thoy succeeded." "Dey did, sab." "And how did they teach you to be honest?" "Dey dono put me in the nhoe shop, sah, nallln' pasteboard ontar shoes fo' soles, sah." Youth's Com- I Wntcli Factory Uses Forty 2-Pound Ionves n Day. Perhaps tho most novol use to which brend is put may be soon In the great fnctorlcs of tho Elgin Na tional Watch Company at Elgin, 111., whore more thnn forty loaves of fresh bread are required each day. Supt. George E. Hunter of tho watch factory, Is quoted as saying: "There Is no Ferret regnrdlng tho use of bread In this factory, and I nm willing to toll nil I enn concern ing it. From tho earliest times In the history of watch mnklng It has been the custom of watchmakors to rcduco fresh brend to tho form of dough. This Is dono by tho steam ing and kneading. They then uso this dough for removing oil and chips thnt naturally adhere, In tho courso of manufactures, to pieces as small as a part of a watch. Thero are many parts of a watch that aro so Bmall ns to bo barely visible to tho naked eye. The oil Is absorbed by this dough and tho chips stick to It, and thero Is no other known sub stance which can be used as a wiper without leaving some of Its particles attached to the thing wiped. This accounts for tho continued use of bread dough In tho watchmaking in dustry. The Elgin National Watch Case Company uses something over 40 2-pound loaves a day. or about 24,000 pounds a year. American Food Journal. Cat's IYctiltnr Fad. There Is a cat In a grocery storo In Columbus avenue whose fad Is to rido dogs. This cnt, modium-elzed male,, striped and wise looking, am bushes himself behind a barrel or box, watching for a dog. When ono comes along tho cat makes a flying leap and lands on his back. Of course the dog Is greatly alarmed, and starts off on tho dead run, usual ly yeplng as he flies along. Tho cat crouches down on the dog's back, holding on with Its claws Ho rides a block or two, then Jumpa oft and trots back to his store. He has been riding dogs for more than throo ywers, and no ono knows why ho does It. Perhaps It Is the desire of a rush or that speed madness that sometimes seizes on automoblllsts. New York Telegraph. Snake Den in Hollow Tree. Alexander Huston and his hired man while going to work on the Hus ton farm near th- AlVshony county lino, saw a largo black snake on an oak tree. Tho next day tho hired man took his pistol along and seeing the snake again, mounted the treo and shot It and another which crawl ed out of the hollow trunk. Believing that to ere might bo morn snakes In tho old treo trunk, a flrw was started below and in a short Umo the snakes crawled out In such largo numbers that the man up tho tro descended In a hurry. A vigorous fight ensued and when the contest wob over the men had eighty-five dead snakes measuring from one and a half to over nine feet In length. Greens burg Dally Tribune. Castaway Sailors. Sailors cast away on uninhabited Islands In temperate regions have managed to subsist for long periods. Thus, tho crew of the Caroline, wrecked on Ducle Island, in tho Souht Pacific In July, 18S3, lived there quite comfortably until taken off in May, 1885; while .ho survivors of the whuler Esspx were three years and four months on the neighboring Henderson Island beforo being res cued World's Ore Mountains. The world contains at least four mountains composed of almost solid iron ore. Ono Is In Mexico, one In the United States, another In India ind a fourth In Africa, just below tho Soudan, and thero have been re ports of such a mountain existing in Siberia. Xi-rves ami Tobacco. Tho members of the fair sex have nerves as well as their husbands and brothers, and If tobacco smoke af fords a grateful solace, why should thoy not bo equally entitled to this boon along with tho men? aood Health. Matrimonial Complaints. Nino-tenths of t'ho unhapplncsa of pooplo who Imagine they have con trived to marry unhappily is purely of their owri making.

It Is hard to have a number of clocks strike together, according to Ernost II. Guenther of Pttsburg, who is interested In the manufacture of timepieces. "You sco," ho said, '"somo clocks aro nrrnnged to strike hnlf n minute beforo the hour, somo n quarter of u minute bofore, others n few seconds after and so on. Now, If 1 regulnto them to strike nt the snmo Instant thoy will not bo In ngreemcnt In point of actual time, and thnt Is really a more Important consideration. '"Of courso If there are a great mnny clocks In tho house It Is llkoly that several will happen to strike to gether. For Instance there Is ono house which hns twenty ' clocks and one of our men looks after them. Of theso, five or six strlko In unison and tho others all within a minute, except ing one. Ho has orders to keep nine teen of tho clocks at exactly tho cor rect time, but tho little Jewelled time piece In the bedroom of tho mistress of the houso Is to bo kept always three minutes fast. "No, ho does not get rich at the business of winding clocks and seeing that they keep time, but he makes a fair living at It. Tho houso 1 Just spoke of is an especially profitable housu of courso, having so many clocks. They pay him $100 a year for his attendance which Is given weekly." Some Animals' Tails. The tails of animals aro not neces sarily for adornment only. Horses, cows and many other creatures uso their tails as fiy flappers. Cats, squir rels and such like frequently twist them about their necks for comfort tors. The rat has raised the use of th'e tall to a flno art, for he finds It an Invaluable asset In stealing Jelly, oil or cream out of Jars or bottles whoso contents cannot be reached otherwise. Tho macflo plays as merrily with Its toil as does a kitten, and It Is said that tho marmoset uses Its tall as a blanket while sleeping. Every 1 one has heard how monkeys employ thoir talis as an aid In swinging from tree to tree In Journeying through pathless forests, nd, of course, wo all know that fishes are enabled to navi gate in whatever direction by means of their tall flns. The ant enter raises his big bushy tall for an umbrella. The vanity of the strutting peacock Is nourished by the beauty of Its tall. Washington Herald. Filling Many Wants. One of the most useful trees in the world is a species of palm which grows in Brazil. It might safely bo called a vegetable emporium, for it yields everything from medicine to cattle food. From the roots Is ob tained a very valuable medicine which is used for purifying the blood in Springtime. Its timber takes a very high polish, and Is much sought after by cabinet makers for flno work. The sap becomes wine or vinegar, accord ing to the treatment It receives. From tho sap, starch and sugar are also ob tained. The fruit of the treo Is given to cattle for food; the nut, ground to powder, makes a good substitute for coffee, and the pith becomes bottle corks. Columbus and the Gulf Stream. It Is curious to note In the history of the gulf stream how great its Influ ence has been on the fortunes of tho new world. Before the discovery of America strange woods and fruits wero frequently found on the shores of Europe and oft-lying islands. Somo of these were seen and examined by Columbus, and to his thoughtful mind thoy were confirming evidence of tho fact that strange lands were not far to the westward. These woods were carried by tho gulf stream and by the prevailing winds from the American continent, so thnt In part the gulf stream Is responsible for tho discov ery of tho now world. The Value of Dead Leaves. According to tests recently made in France, dead leaves possess a higher value as fertilizers for the land thnn ordinary manure. They are extensive- 1 .. . . n ) 1... . 1 i .i n ..1. i , rr n -1 1 n i i- nlimit ' tho city of Nantes. Pear leaves rank the highest In nitrogenous content, oak leaves come next, and tho leaves of vines stand lowest In value. Ex periments have shown that 41 pounds of pear leaves, Sd pounds of poplar leaves, 61 pounds of peach leaves, S2 pounds of elm leaves and 83 pounds of locust leaves are respectively equiva lent in nitrogenous content to 100 pounds of ordinary manure. Vino leaves alone are less valuable than manure. Lost In the Telephone. Mr. Henry Abraham has calculated tho maximum effectiveness of tho tolophone for a sound of given pitch and a current of measured Intensity. The result shows Unit there Is great room for Improvement In this re spoct. Notwithstanding tho npparent extreme sensitiveness of tho best telephones, they are, aftor all, sur prisingly Ineffective, since they trans mit to tho ear In tho form of sound waves less than a thousandth part of tho energy received from tho line. Crab Shells as Barometers, A curlouB barometer Is said to bo used by tho remnant of tho Arnucan Ian race which Inhabits the southern most province of Chile. It consists of the cast-off shell of a crab. Tho dead shell Is white In fair, dry weath er, but tho approach of a molBt at moophero Is Indicated by tho appear ance of small red spots. As the mois ture in the air increases tho shell be comes entirely red, and remains so throughout tho rainy season. PEN SKETCHES OF HQTAFiLITlES General Leonard Wood, New Head of the Army.

Tho safest place to ride In a railroad train Is In the middle of the middle car on tho right hand side. Thus tho danger of being Injured In fore or aft collisions or side swipes Is minimized. This Is old, but will hour repeating. Camel Caravans. Nearly 00,000 camels are used In tho vilayet of Bagdad as beasts of burden, nnd with donkeys they form the only means of carrying goods to Inland points. Camel caravans go In "strings," seven camels to the string, with two men in charge. For a camel 450 pounds Is a good load, tho pack being divided Into halves. "S 5 S."
