FREELAND, PA., FEBRUARY 24,1898.
•The Capture of Government by Com
mercialism," from the pen of John Jay j
Chapman, Is the title of the leading
article published in the current issue of
the Atlantic Monthly. Every friend of
■rood government should procure a copy
of this article, diligently read it, and
meditate upon it. It is, to our mind,
one of the ablest, bravest, and most ■
searching analyses of tiie causes of cor
ruption in American politics that wo .
have road —we are inclined to think it i
the ablest—certainly, on the whole, the j
most lucid and satisfactory. While it !
paints an appalling picture of the extent
and depth of the evil forces with which
wo contend, it presents by no means a <
despairing view of the situation. The ;
writer believes that we are steadily ]
moving through and out of an epoch,
beginning with the close of the war and
already past its climax, during which I
the commercial forces of the country |
have systematically, perhaps necessarily, j
dominated and corrupted our politics. (
and our politics have, in turn, still j
further corrupted them. Just how this
has been accomplished, both in great
cities and in great states. Mr. Chapman ,
tells in a most interesting way.
Isaac 11. Drown, deputy secretary of \
internal affairs, has prepared an inter
esting report on taxation in this state, j
If shows the relative amount, by conn- ;
ties, collected last year for the several j
purposes to which taxes are applied, j
That portion of the report bearing on ,
education should he of especial interest ■
to the people of this county. Major
Drown s figures demonstrate that of the
total amount of taxes collected in the
state 23 per cent was devoted to the
schools, but when the figures by counties
are examined it is found that Luzerne
stands easily at the head of the sixty- j
seven counties, with 4t> per cent of Its i
collected taxes spent for educational !
purposes. In Allegheny county but 12 i
per cent was expended on the schools. I
As a representative coal region county.
Luzerne lias just cause to feel proud of
its showing in assisting to enlighten the
youth of the state. An examination of
individual tax receipts will verify the
figures given in Secretary Brown's
report.
Just now there is no end of criticism
in the "granny" newspapers of the
country against what they term "yellow
journalism." The New York World and
.lournal are the acknowledged leaders of
this new system of newspaper work,
which gives the news regardless of ex
pense and risks to reporters, and it is
against these the shafts of jealousy are
aimed. The namby-pamby editors of
the old school decry and pretend to dis
believe every great feat performed by
their so-called "yellow" contemporaries,
but the news editors of these same old
fashioned sheets give the lie direct to
these criticisms by stealing the fruit of
the labor and enterprise of the "yellows '
and republishing it under more con
servative headings twenty-four hours
after this news appears in the progres
sive papers.
As there are at least two dozen coal
operators in Luzerne county, the
chances of a workingman getting nomi
nated for congress on the Repub
lican ticket are decidedly slim. It is
announced that John Markle, of Jeddo,
is booked by the party to succeed Con
gressman Williams, and from this it
may bo inferred that none but coal
operators need apply until all of this
class have served at least one terra.
The latest in u Stove Trust, whose
chief aim. it is needless to add, is "to
raise prices on all kinds of cast stoves,
ranges, and heaters." Its purpose is,
therefore, to reduce the purchasing
power of the dollar in relation to stoves;
in other words, to cheapen the dollar,
in short, to degrade the currency. Dut
the trust managers will shout honest
money with the loudest.
Conscience in woman has begun to
work in Michigan to the benefit of the
ei>h box. It is reported from Owosso
that a woman who worked as a clerk
Osburn & Sons 20 year&ago has just
n ' urnod five rents which she took
while in their employ.
A New Hampshire railway company

A BIRD'S STOREHOUSE.
Tlie California Woodpecker Pack*
It* Food Away Safely.
Fred. A. Ober, who has been n great
traveler, recounts some of tbe strange
scenes he has witnessed for the benefit
of readers of St. Nicholas. He con
tributes a paper to the number called
"A Bird's Storehouse; or, the Carpenter
Bird." Mr. Ober says:
lie is a handsome bird, and if there
were not so many of his species he j
would attract o great deal of attention,
lie has a bright red head, black-and
white body, and a needle-pointed tail.
The tail supports him in a perpendicti- |
lur position on tbe side of a tree, while j
he is hammering, or rather chiseling. :
a hole in its bark.
Now, all woodpeckers, having sharp
pointed beaks and very strong muscles
in tbeir necks and beads, can drive a
deep hole into the side of a tree or
stump; but this California woodpecker
is said to surpass tbem all as a hole
digger; and he not only digs the hole, j
but he HI Is it up with a nut or uu
acorn.
This is the strangest part of his per- I
formance; for while a great many
other birds have the hole-digging in
stinct, there are very few of them that
possess the hole-filling instinct. The
blue jays and the squirrels have a habit
of accumulating supplies in the shape
of nuts and acorns, and 3-011 may see
them, almost any day in autumn,
snatching the acorns from twigs and
THE WOODPECKERS' STOREHOUSE,
branches. The same instinct prompts
this woodpecker to lay in his stores
of acorns. Some people say, however,
that he never resorts to these supplies j
again, but just lays them up without ;
a thought as to the future at all. But
this is not the way with nature. She
does not work blindly, but always with
some wise purpose in view.
At any rate, this bird can drill a hole
in the very hardest wood, and at this
business he is employed almost all the
time. The holes are usually made iu
rows, at regular distances apart, each
about the size of an acorn. He is never
discouraged, and never gives up a task,
even though it may seem most formida
ble. lie hns been known to surround
a giant redwood tree, over 20 feet in
circumference, with rings of holes
one above another, from the root to tlie
topmost limb, for over 200 feet. I say
"he" did it, but 1 mean, of course, gen
eration after generation of them, for
many, many 3*ears.
After he has got the hole or holes
to his liking, he flies off to the nearest i
oak tree and secures an acorn, which 1
be brings to the storehouse tree and
places in the little "safety-deposit" lie
has made for it. It fits exnetty, and so,
inserting It sharp end first, he hi'*
it repeatedly with his beak, and drives
it in to stay till needed.
So long as the woodpecker confines
his harvesting to Uie acorns, no one '
except the Indians, who frequently
store them up for winter food, will
have anything to say. But this he dots
not do. It is said that he likes nuts as
well, and a storj' is told of a family of
I woodpeckers that completely stripped
a small grove of almond trees. The
owner of the grove thought he must
mve a good crop, and when the time
came to gather it he went to do so, and
lo! there was not a nut on any tree!
But one of his boys, in foraging about,
found an immense old oak which wis
partly decayed, and riddled with holes
froru top to bottom. And in eacli hole
was an almond! 80 tbe tree was cut j
down, and the man secured several
bushels of almonds, after ail; but the
woodpeckers scolded him loudly.
U hldkeri for a Pillow.
That history repeats itself has Just
received another proof. Some years
ago the men of a Bavarian regiment of
which Prince Maximilian was chief, in
order that tlicy might show their de- :
votlon to him, cut off their mustaches
and sent them to the princess, who had
just become a mother, that she might
use them as a pillow. Something very
like a repetition of this lias just taken
place at Rnppoistweller, in Alaska. The
chief of the fire brigade was a few days
ago presented with his first child, n
boy. The firemen thereupon called a
meeting at which it was decided to
make the baby boy an honorary mem
ber of the corps, and the men subse
quently cut off their mustaches and
beards to form a pillow for the baby's
use.

NEAT PARLOR GAMES.
How to Piny nt >ll ml Itcndinit ami
>lnkc 1 lie Sport Interenting;.
First I'll tell you how to play at mind
reading in away that will probably
puzzle your friends for a good while.
Let Mary be the mind reader; she
must then select a confederate, a per
son quite as important to success as her
self. Tom would answer better, per
haps, than a girl, as lie is more likely*,
' perhaps, to have n watch of some sort,
I and the watch is a sort of second con
federate.
All the company except Mary now
troop into a room selected for the ex
j periment; they decide 011 some object
which Mary is to discover as the sub
ject selected for them all to think about
—it must be understood that this sub
ject is some definite, material article
in the room. The gas is now turned
out. and all go out again; Mary meets
them and hog's that the.v will all for a
few moments fasten their thoughts 011
the thing selected; this beiing done in
an impressive silence.
Mary goes in the room in the dark.
I and in a moment returns and tells what
it is they have been thinking about.
Tom. you see. has left the dark room
last, and has left his watch on the se
lected object; he. perhaps, has taken
part in the discussion as to what it
should be, because he wnmts something
that his watch can indicate conclusive
ly. The ticking of the watch leads
Mary aright, and she picks up the watch
and the information af the same time
! and conceals the one and displays the
other. A luminous match box will an
swer for a guide as well as a watch.
1 When a quieter turn is wanted, just
seat every one with a pencil and paper
and ask them to set down from mem
ory the figures on the clock in the next
room or on the watches in their pock
ets—-using the characters just as they
are written on the faces of timepieces.
All will probably start out with great
confidence, but ten to one no one will
remember that the four in such eases is
inot written thus. IV.. hut thus 1111.
If you will arrange to have one part
of the company recognize individuals
in the other part siinpl.v by seeing one
eye, you will give another surprise.
We think we know the eyes of our
friends, but when it comes to seeing an
eye alone it is more than most people
can do to tell a brown one from a blue
one; n good way to arrange for this
1 trial is to screen a door with newspa
pers in which n hole the size and shape
1 of a large human eye is out; or more
I holes than one can be cut in it and sev
eral eyes shown at once. The exhib
ited in this way are in one room amd
the scrutineers in the other.—Chicago

BOBBING FOR CARAMELS.
One of (he Funniest On men for Clili
tlren Ever Inveuteil.
Making taffy or any candy is, to be
sure, great fun, but eating it is always
far better. In this game the difficulty
is to get the candy.
Buy some fresh caramels. They must
be quite soft. Thread a stout needle
with some fine sewing silk, tying a
. large knot in one end. Draw the needle
j through the center of the caramel until
the knot catches on the other side. Un
j thread the needle, leaving the caramel
attached to at least a yard of silk. Then
tie a good knot in the free end.

beforehand. When you wish to play

the game gather tlie players iu a cir
cle, giving to each a caramel hung to
the silk.
The one who, after placing the knot
ted end between his teeth, with his
hands folded behind him, first succeeds
in drawing the caramel into his mouth
wins the game.
Of course, there is a trick about it.
but a very simple one. Just work it
1 out. One little hint. Everything de
pends upon having that knot firmly
fastened in the beginning between
your teeth.
It is really worth while to stop and

(iavc Conclimlve Proof.
A little Irish boy of five years, during
his first term at the district school, was
frying bravely to master tbe alphabet.
i He had reached the letter O. and, to aid
his memory, the teacher drew his at
tention to the fact that the letter had a
tail. He gazed at it intently for a mo
ment. and then "brought down the
house" bv exclaiming: "Faith, it ha:
j a tail! I run sec it wag."
I POLICEMEN'S HELMETS.
I lu Loadon Tlicy Are to lie Kiiulpped
with Bleotrlo likliim.
A plan is under consideration by the
police authorities of London to equip
the policemen's helmets with small
electric lights to help illuminate the
streets on foggy days. The device con-
I sists of a small incandescent bulb,
mounted on the helmet without shade
or globe. The current required to op*
erate the light is furnished by a small
pocket battery, which the policeman
j carries about with him.
It is estimated that sufficient current
to run the little helmet-lamp for sev-

Foggy Days.)
eral hours can be carried in the pocket,
and be replenished from time to time
j with very little trouble.
One who has never hud to contend
with a London fog can hardly appre
. eiate just how important a part these
helmet lamps may play. The fog set
tles down in a thick yellow haze, often
j rendering it impossible for a person
to see his hand before him. Police-,
men obliged to stand on the crossings
* on busy thoroughfares are often in a
! very dangerous position. Several po
i licemen standing at their posts of duty
j have been run down and killed. The
| helmet lamp would be a sort of guiding
j star to cabmen.
It is proposed to make the bulb of
the lamp of reddish glass, because
| this color is visible at a much greater
I distance than ordinary white light. The
fogs of London have a peculiar yellow
| color which renders them almost im
| penetrable to tlie ordinary yellowish
i white light of the street lamps. An
ordinary gas flame, such as burns at
; the street corners, may sometimes be
1 seen only within a radius of a few feet.
; The electric helmet lamps are in reality
a curious sort of reminder of the so
called "link-boys" who were to be
! found in tlie streets of London in the
1 last century.

tered the royal artillery in 1858. For
four years he acted as secretary of Lord
North brook, his cousin, while tlje latter
was viceroy in India. In 1577 he was
appointed a commissioner of the
Egyptian public debt and in 1870, when
the Khedive Ismail was deposed, he rep
resented England and France as one of
the controllers general. In 1880 Lord
Cromer's services in Egypt received
public recognition in his appointment
to the office of finance minister on the
j vice royal council of India, under the
i Marquis of Ripon. In 188.1 lie succeeded
Sir Edward Malet as British agent,con

Lord Cromer is a man of quick de

the foreign office with such heartiness

world as to what England proposes to
do in the snarl in China. In Egypt he
