FREELAND, L'A., JUNE 24, 1895.
The Destruction of Birds.
It is the opinion of competent rli
thoritics that before many years htve
passed the legislatures of our stales
and nation will be forced to some action
on the needless destruction of birds.
Tho robins and blue birds and wrens
and the hundreds of glad little singers
of tho woods and fields have been driven
away not merely from the cities, which
they used to inhabit, but from tho vil
lages on the outskirts, and in some
cases from even the isolated hamlets.
The increase in insect pests within two
ov thrco years betokens a grave dunger,
o*ad the cheapest and surest way to
moot it is to stop killing the birds and
let them return and dine upon tho
moths and caterpillars and the rest of
tho evil tribe that strip our trees and
gardens. It will take many years, at
best, to restore them in such numbers
as they could be reckoned by a dozen
or twenty years ago, but people by
ceasing to be sportsmen, or at least
ceasing to kill the birds that arc of no
use as food, can bring good times back.
Without birds our gardens and yards
and nearby farms and woods must re
main the prey of tho worm, the slug,
tho bug, tho fly, and other creeping
and crawling things. No birds, no
cabbages, no shade trees, no potatoes,
no flowers. It will bo expensive in tho
future if all our hay as well as all of
our garden truck has to be raised under
glass.
Homo American English.
Tho average Britisher finds it impos
sible to understand American slang. A
young Englishman now on his first visit
to this country relates this experience j
in a Pullman car. Tho colored porter
said to tho conductor: "You better go
and talk with that lady in lower
ten; I can't do nothin' with her; she's
too flip." "Oh, go on and be patient
with her," replied the conductor. Pres
ently the porter returned with: "She's
too much for me, conductor; she's got
tin' flipper." "As the porter stood wait
ing near me," said the Englishman, "I
asked what lie meant by flip or flipper.
'Why, I mean she's too fresh,' answered
tho porter. 'Too fresh?' I queried.
'Yes; that is, she's too soon,' ho ex
plained. 'Flip, fresh, soon—l don't un
derstand you yet,' I told him with a
laugh. 'Oh, Lord, can't you talk Eng
lish?' exclaimed the porter; 'well, I
mean she's too fly.'"
IT is less than twenty years since
southern and eastern Ohio had consid
erable feeling against the western re
serve. There were and aro descendants
of many southern settlers in tho farm
ers' districts, while the western reserve
had a strong New England element.
In the days of abolition agitation tho
western reserve was deeply stirred
against slaveholding and the fugitive
slave law, while thousands in southern
and eastern Ohio rejected the "higher
law," and formed the rule of conscience
in the federal constitution. It was a
lawyer in eastern Ohio whose will was
found to contain this clause: "To that
damned Yankee, Dr. Potter, a watch
that I lost in Wheeling, if ho can find
it."
IT is the practice of a large eastern
insurance company to put its employes
on their honor as to their goings and
comings and tho amount of work they
do. Each man at the end of the day sots
down on a card the hour of his arrival,
the amount of time he is out at lunch
eon, and the exact details of his day's
work. These cards are eventually ex
amined by some one in authority. It
is said that the record is in tho main a
truthful one.
MANUFACTURERS of cheap shoes say
that they make only fifty cents a pair
in retailing them, and find the business
profitable only because of selling an
immense number. New York manu
facturers send great numbers of these
Bhoes through tho malls to retail cus
tomers, and the trade is a serious men
ace to tho existence of local shoemak
ers and retailers.
WASIIINOTON is as rich as any state
of tho union in its Indian names. Sev
eral counties bear such names, and
many stweams, lakes and villages. They
aro fine, many-syllabled, mouth-filling
words, curiously different in character
from the Indian names of tho south
and cast, but doubtless full of pic
turesque significance lost to our igno
rance.

A CLEVER DODGER.
A Weaiiel That Wua Quicker Than th
Shot of a SportHman'M Truaty (ion.
"Coining to our camp in the cool Oc
tober evening after throwing our lines
for bass at sunset in Little Bear pond,"
said the Gotham sportsman to the Now
York Sun man, "wo found that a visit
or lied been there during our absence. '
We hiul taken up our quarters in a de
serted shingle camp, a low log struc
ture with a splint roof. A 'deacon's
seat' stood before the open fireplace of
stone and behind, laid tliatehwiso on
the ground, were the pine boughs upon
which we were to sleep. We had left
our dunnage there earlier in the day
and had hung up on a peg -in the
wall two partridges that we had shot.
"After we had lighted up the place
with a glowing fire wo saw that the
partridges were gone from the wooden
peg on which they had hung and were
nowhere to be seen. A long search
about the camp revealed them at last
on the opposite side crowded half under
the bottom log of the wall as if an at
tempt had been made to get them out
of the camp that way.
"We hung them up again upon the
peg and in a few minutes discovered a
weasel running about them trying to
get them down again. He appeared to
bo regardless of our presence. lie
would run out to the end of the peg
and work awhile to try to push the
string that held them over the end and
then would dart to the ground below
and sit upright looking at them, his
eyes all the while glowing like emer
alds. At last I picked my gun up,
loaded with heavj T charges of bird shot.
" 'lt's no use trying to hit liim,' said
Farris, my companion, an old woods
man. 'He'll dodge the flash of your
gun. The most you can do is to scare
him away.'
"As the weasel sat upright and mo
tionless on one of the bottom logs of
the camp I took a careful sight and
fired with my right barrel at him. The
smoke cleared away, but no weasel
was to be seen, although the place
where he hud sat was peppered with
fine holes where the shot had all struck
within a spaco as large as the palm of
my hand. If the weasel had been hit
ho would have been found and ho had
evidently dodged at the Hash of the ox
plosion or perhaps the fall of the ham
mer. But the shot had the effect of
frightening him away, for wo had no
more visits from him during our stay."
CHARITY THAT CURSES.
Alnvig.vltig In Not Charity, It Is the Giv
ing of Oneself.
There is many a rich man seated to
day with easy conscience at a table
shining with cut-gluss and silver, who
would be ready to stretch out a helping
hand to those wllo need it, if they were
not "all so far away." Ho is living in
another t.orld. What he does is to
make his annual contributions to our
charitable societies, and that is all.
Some day, writes Dr. Jane Elizabeth
Bobbins in the Forum, we will begin
to calculate the evil resulting from
such contributions. Again and aguln
is it true of the charity of to-day that
"it curses him who gives and him who
takes." On the one hand the poor xnan,
sinking down into the mire of pauper
ism, realizes dimly tho bitterness of his
degradation, and takes tho alms offered
him with curses in his heart; while on
the other hand tho rich merchant or
manufacturer, who is daily disregard
ing the health of little children and
delicate girls, quiets his conscience with
a lnrgo chock in tho name of charity.
And socloty applauds the generosity of
such a mun, and his eyes aro blinded.
"It is so tempting to the rich to think
that by giving a check for tho support
of a social scheme poverty may be
abolished, and they be left free to enjoy
their wealth. They always hope that
something, not themselves, might meet
all needs."
One is often asked the question:
"What can the rich man do for tho re
lief of suffering?" I believe there is but
one answer: Let him give not alms but
himself, and the wisdom comes with
the giving. I know a young apprentice
in a great machine shop who was
stricken down with consumption. His
parents were old and feeble, and it was
only through the gifts of his employer
that his last days were made comfort
able, but more to them all than tho
gifts was the fact that the employer
camo himself to tho little home in the
East sido tenement, and spoke friendly
words. From every such natural
friendship there grow more and more
chances for helpfulness, and for that
truest charity of all charities the
treating of others as if they were of
our own kind.
Those Congratulatory Lottors.
Home one with a taste for figures has
calculated that it would take Prince
Bismarck, working eight hours a day
with unflinching regularity, about
eight months to read all the letters,
post cards and telegrams of birthday
congratulations that have reached
Friedrichsruh. If he tried to answer
them all he would have to spend an
other year and a half over tho Job.
Fortunately, ho is an old man of too
much common sense to attempt cither
to read or to answer one-thousandth
part of the messages that have been
sent him. The very great majority of
the senders have the satisfaction of re
flecting that their good wishes will
serve to light a fire at Friedrichsruh
any time during tho next twelve
months, but that is about all. If they
think that tho princo will ever even see
their letters or telegrams they are
making a great mistake. Thus does
the fussiness of sentimental busybodies
succeed only in defeating its own ob
ject.
Bolivian Indian Dialects.
The consul in Bolivia mentions as a
curious fact that here and there In
Bolivia one meets with small communi
ties of Indians talking a different
tongue to the surrounding districts.
This results from tho practice exercised
under the rule of the Incos, whoso cus
tom it was to transfer an entire com
munity to eomo distant part of the
country when any seditious movements
took place in a particular lown or dis
trict.
STEVE ELKINS' ESCAPE.
Tfc. St.rj Th.y Toll I pou th. Now Hmam
tor from West Virginia.
Ex-Congressman John T. Heard, of
Missouri, tells a good Story on Steve
Elkins. They were college chums at
the Missouri state university. Just be
fore commencement they organized a
hunting and fishing party and started
down a small river near Columbia for a
week's sport. Luck was hard against
them. Tlxey gathered in neither fish
nor game, and the second night out
found thom on tho verge of starvation.
A farmer's hen roost near camp arrested
their attention, and it was determined
to make a raid. Lots were drawn, and
fate put it upon Elkins and Heard to
make the attack on the fowls. Reach-
BBPATOR B. W. VA.
lng the roost each climbed a tree. Im
mediately the dogs began to bark, and
the farmer came out with a gun, which
he fired Into the tree selected by
Elkins. Steve, who was a great, big,
clumsy, overgrown boy, lost his hold
and fell, head first, to the ground.
The dogs tackled him, and he was made
a prisoner, the farmer locking him In
the smokehouse, where he had to stay
all night.
Heard was hid in the branches of his
tree and had sense enough to keep still
during the excitement, after which he
slid down and skipped out. In the
morning Elkins was taken to Columbia
by the farmer. In the principal street
of the town ho mado his escape, never
stopping in his flight till he got to Jef
ferson City, more than thirty miles
away. The grand Jury returned an In
dictment against him for stealing chick
ens, and when he heard of It he could
hardly be persuaded to go back to col
lego to finish his studies. He had an
oration prepared to deliver to the grad
uating class, and had taken great pains
with it. The day before he was to de
liver It the indictment was nolle
prossed, and ho regained complete con
fidence In himself. He prided himself
on his oratorical powers, and expected
to create a lasting impression. He
started out In fine style, gulning ap
plause and stirring up enthusiasm.
When he got down to tho spread eagle
business one of the boys turned a chick
en loose In the hall. Elkins did not ex
actly break down, but his peroration
was not so eloquent as it might have
been.
THE YUCCA PLANT.
On* I 4 Now In Bloom In tho Now York
Museum of Natural History.
The yucca plant now in bloom and on
exhibition In tho Natural History mu
seum, says the New York Tribune, has
attracted a vast crowd of flower lovers.
The accompanying cut shows the tree
as it Is now in position.
Prof. Dill, who stands alongside his
latest treasure, is six feet in height.
He gives a fair estimate of the height
of the plant, which is just about eight
een feet, with a frond of flowers some
three 9eet taller. The great white

bunch of flowers that twines up to the
ceiling of the room and looks down on
the section of the Sequoia Gigantia that
has lorded It over everything for many
a year, caused more comment, proba
bly, than anything else that has been
Been In the museum for many years.
The great bunch of flowers, a crown
much too beautiful for the dingy brown
stem, draped in dead ashen leaves, with
a head of long pinnated leaves of quiet
green, is a sight for any lover of flow
ers.
Those who came to see this plant
were of every class. The writer stood
alongside for an hour, and was charmed
to see the interest taken by boys In the'
white-crowned yucca.
The plant haß wonderful powers of
vitality. Thirteen years ago a similar
specimen was sent to the museum, and
for nearly a year tho stem was housed
in the basement. In the spring, to the
astonishment of everyone, it shot out
j leaves and then a frond of flowers.
I This giant yucca is a great blessing to
the Indians of Mexico. From the roots
they extract a sap that gives them all
the soap they want, and from the leaves
1 they get a fiber that they weave into
hammocks.
PATENTEES OVERCHARGE.
fholr Qrcftt M intake to Putting Pano*
Prices on New Ideas.
A new article of domestic hardware
has been put on the market whleh is a
staple in all families and competes with
a similar utensil which Is sold for 15
and 20 cents. Tle price of the new ar
ticle is 91. Before it can be in demand
and generally adopted, to the displace
ment of the old utensil, a great deal of
work will have to be done, which is
very much hampered by the prohibi
tory price put upon the goods. The
number of persons who will be willing
to pay the price of four or five qf the
old style goods for one of the new style
will not be large, we think, and a wiser
policy would have fixed a lower price.
This leads us to say, says the Cincin
nati Enquirer, that every year there are
large numbers of similar articles put
on the market, which would have a
large sale if they were sold at mer
cantile prices. By this we mean a con
sideration of the first cost of the goods
when ready for delivery to jobbers, the
Jobbers' profit and the retailers' as
well added, for these things are con
sidered by buyers, both wholesale and
retail, before there is any demand for
goods. Last week we went into a store
where a filter was on sale. Upon ask
ing the price of one of half a gallon
capacity, we were in formed that it was
120. It was a plain casting with no fit
tings or fixtures and with some porous
material inside of it of no particular
money value. The casting may have
cost 50 cents, and an outside figure for
the cost of the utensil would be sl, yet
120 was the price to the buyer. We de
murred at the price and gave tho same
reasons for so doing that are given
above, but tho seller's argument in fa
vor of tho high price was that it would
filter some fabulous number of gallons
of water per day. This had no connec
tion whatever with tho cost of tho
goods; a frying pan will turn out 500
pounds of cooked material a day and a
25-cent faucet will permit thousands of
gallons of water to pass through it
daily. These are the functions of the
article sold; they are expected to be ef
ficient, but there is no reason for add
ing 2,000 per cent, to the cost of them.
The fact that articles are patented
leads many persons to feel that the pub
lic expect to pay stiff prices for such
things, but we believe this to bo errone
ous. Nowadays those who have money
to spend consider prices very carefully,
and if they are unreasonable they
simply go without the goods.
ELEOTRIO HOUSE FOUNTAIN.
Worked by Electricity It Can lie Carried
from Room to Room.
An electrically operated fountain, de
signed as an ornament to a drawing
room, and brought out in Saxony, Ger
many, is something of a novelty in the
United States, but tho combination is a
perfectly practical one, and, being
self-contained, can be readily removed
from place to place, adding distinction
to various parts of the house, if de
sired, says the Washington Star.
This ornament consists of a tasteful
ly decorated flower stand, with a
small aquarium and a spouting
jet of water. Under the level of the
plants and flowers is a square sine tray,
containing an electric motor attached
to a small pressure pump. The zinc
tray also acts as a reservoir for the wa
ter, and tho punp, operated by the
motor, keeps a constant circulation
through the aquarium and fountain
above. Current for the motor is ob
tained from a powerful battery coll
placed on a separate shelf beneath the
zinc tray.
The battery used is new, and its con
struction is not without interest. It
consists of a brass cylinder, taking the
place of tho ordinary battery Jar, and
an inside brass cylinder, the latter be
ing perforated, to promote the action
of the battery fluid. A porous cup
with a zinc pole Is placed within the
inside cylinder. The space between the
two brass cylinders is filled with blue
stone (sulphate of copper) and the space
between the inner oylinder and the
porous cup is filled with a concentrated
solution of sulphate of copper. Inside
the porous cup, surrounding the zinc, is
a strong solution of rock salt. This bat
tery is said to bo very effective, but
when not in use the porous cup must
be removed.
WATERPROOF BRICK.
Interacting Experiments with OU-Boaked
Stone end Clay.
At a recent meeting of the Australian
Association for the Advancement of
Science Prof. Liversidgo read a paper
on "The Waterproofing of Brick and
Sandstone with Oils." These experi
ments were made with tho view of as
certaining tho length of time that brick
and sandstone are rendered waterproof
or protected by oiling. The oils used
were the three commonest and most
readily obtainable for such purposes,
namely, linseed oil, boiled linseed and
the crude mineral oil known as "blue
oil" used for preserving timber. Tho
weatherings were made upon a flat
portion of the laboratory roof fairly ex
posed to the sun and weather. Good,
sound machine-made bricks were ex
perimented on. The amount of oil and
water taken up by the sandstone was
very much less than that absorbed by
the brick, although the area of the
sandstone cubes was much greater
than that exposed by the bricks. Equal
amounts of the raw and boiled oils
were absorbed; the blue oil, however,
was taken up In much greater quantity
by both brick and sandstone, but by
the end of twelve months the whole of
the thirteen and one-half ounces of
blue oil had apparently evaporated
away, and the brick had returned to its
original weight, but those treated with
raw and boiled oils remained unchanged.
After the second oiling in November,
1800, and exposure for nearly four
years and two months, they had prao
tically retained all their oil, inasmuch
as they had not lost weight and were
also practically impervious to water. It
was noticeable that the sandstone
cubes treated with raw and boiled oils
returned to their original weights, but
do not appear to have lost the beneficial
effects of the oils, being practically 1m-
PWTIffM to UtW.
GREAT BARGAINS!

price.
When Neuburger Says Bargains
he means that he has for you up-to-date, bright, new, fresh merchandise to olTer
at special trade-bringing prices, as you will readily see by inspecting our immense
lines.
