A Butter Story.

In 1888, family by the name of Van
Sickler moved into the town of Towanda,
Pa, and took up as residence place for
merly occupied as hotel On thepremises
was deep well, originally dug by, or for,
Mr.. Means, the hOtel-keeper. At the time
of building or stoning up the well, a stone
shelf was inserted by order of the land
lord about ten feet down for the purpose
of depositing in a cool place butter, beef
and such other articles as might be consid-
cred necessary TO its preservation. The
new -cOmers on the place-the Van Sick
lers--soOn detected, OF thought they did,
the presence of decaying wood in the wa
ter, and II was decided to have the well
cleared out. Accordingly two old patriots
were detailed for that service Their com
bined efforts, after a few hours labor, re-
suited in fishing up a butter flrkin tightly
sealed but black with age, and its old
slaves nearly rotten through. Mr. Means
the old landlord, long since retired from
business, and then residing short dis
tance from the place, was sent for and
came down, white.llaiFed and venerable,
bearing on his cane Aiter looking at II a
moment, the old man said he could explain
the whole matter The tub had been let
down on the stone shelf long years ago
when he kept the hotel. As
near as he could remember, Il
was over thirty years previously. The
tub had disappeared in the night, and Il
was supposed that il has been stolen. The
well had never been cleared out before 10

A FOx's Revenge.

A MAN residing on the banks of the
Hudson one day went 10 q bay on the
river to shoot ducks or geese. When he
came to the river he saw six geese beyond
shot. He determined to wait for them to
approach the shore. While sitting there
he saw fox coming down to the shore,
and stand some time to observe the geese.
At length he turned and went into the
woods, and came out with q very large
bunch of moss in his mouth. He then en-
tered the water very silently, sank himself,
and then keeping the moss above the
water-himself concealed-he f1oated
among the geese. Suddenly one of them
was drawn under the water, and the fox
soon appeared on tho shore with the goose
on his back.
He assembled the bank, and found a hole
made by the tearing up of tree This
hole he cleared, placed in the goose, and
covered it with great care, strewing leaves
over it. The fox then left and while he
was away the hunter unburied the goose,
and closed the hole, and then he resolved
to await the issue.
In about half an hour the fox returned
with another foxin company. They went
directly to the place where the goose had
been buried, and threw out the earth. The
goose could not be found. They stood re-
garding each other for some time, when
suddenly, the second fox attacked the
other fuIiously, es if offended by the trick
of friend. During the battle he shot
them both.-Murrays Creation.

The First Locomotive.

PEN.Y.pARRAN, Wales, is chiefly remark
able for its connection with the first tram
way, for which an act of Parliament was
obtained In 1903 for the first locomotive
ever tried-and with the able inventor,
Trevethick, who there made his first essay.
The first run of the locomotive occurred
in February, 1904. Previously there had
been whisper in the scientific world of
the use of steam and of It's employment
in propelling vehicles, and abortive at.
tempts having been frequent Samuel
Homffay by some means was brought into
connection with Trevethick, and the re.
suit was that this able but eccentric man
visited Methyr, and in conjunction with
sclftaught mechanic, one Rees Jones,
whose homely portrait can be seen In the
Kensington Museum, began to build his
locomotive Building is not an inappro-
pirate word in this case, for the stack was
actually built up of bricks the same as an
ordinary chimney, and the whole affair
was peculiarly odd. The stack was tall
and clumsy, the body dwarfed, perched
on high framework, so as to approx.
innate to the spider fashion; the cylinder,
in addition, was upright; the piston
worked downwards, and at every rcvolu-
ton Of the wheels there was a monstrous
with the asthmatic putfs of steam, would
provoke the gravest mechanician TO
laughter. When completed Homitay in.
troduced his friend Richard Crawshay to
the novelty, doubtless much TO that
individuals amusement certainly to
his incredulity as to its being fit for any
thing, for he readily accepted wager
with Homfray for 81 900, maintaining that
1t would not convey load of iron from
Pen-y -darran to the navigation-a distance
of nine miles. The eventful day arrived
for the trial, and never had there been NO
much excitement. The sturdy English
men were there, and natives from every
Welsh county lined the road, and mounted
every eminence that commanded the tram
way and when Trevethick jumped on
his iron steed, and began slowly to move
onwards amidst changing iron and putting
steam, the uproar was terrific. By the ar
rangements made, no one was allowed 10
assist the dauntless Cornishman, and for a
| time he did not seem to want it. Sur
| rounded by host he passed down the
| valley, making about five miles per hour

How to Make Soap Bubbles.

IT is a pleasant thing to make soap
bubbles, il for no better reason than that
we can have rainbOws about us at any
time. But there is an art about making
these short-lived toys as in everything
else. The best way to make them 10 TO
take three-quarters of a pint OF water
that has been boiled and become cold, and
put into it quarter of an ounce OF Cas-
tile soap, cut up fine. Put this into a
pint bottle and set in hot water In a
saucepan, on the fire; there let it remain
an hour or so, now and then giving Il a
good shaking, till the soap is dissolved.
Let the fluid stand quiet for a few hours
for the impurities and colOring matter OF
the soap 10 settle; then pour on the fluid
and add to II four ounces OF glycerine, and
your soap-bubble solution Is ready.
In an ordinary way you may blow the
bubbles easily with clean tobacco pipe,
but If you wish TO obtain scientific per
fection, you had better employ glass pipe
or tube. BY adding larger quantity OF

How Bad Boys are Reformed In New
Jersey.

THE New Jersey State Reform School,
at Jamesburg, has sixty boys in charge.
A Newark paper gives the following ac-
count of the discipline of the institution:
The school has farm of 500 acres oon-
nected with 1t. The boys thus have an
opportunity to engage in all kinds of farm
wOrk-plowing preparing manures, nt'
ting the soil for seed, planting, haying, etc.
The smaller of the inmates are mainly en-
gagged in planting, wedding, and training
the small fruits--a work in which they
seem to take great satisfaction. Il is de
signed TO turn the farm into purely fruit
farm, and thousands of peach, pear and
other trees, etc, are now being planted.
Last year the whole products of the farm
amounted to $6,9O2.51, of which there
were consumed by the families products Of
the value Of $920.6O.
In the school the boys are divided into
two grades, according TO their proficiency.
the other in the afternoon. They are
taught all the common English
branches, snd have generally made
commendable proficiency. Many who
could not say their letters
when they entered, now read quite fluent
ly, and are improving in other studies
Just now, when the growing or ripening
crops make pressing demands for labor TO
cultivate or secure them, the exercises of
the schOolroom are temporarily suspended
These harVests and other vacations are,
however, made up to the students. When
snow covers the ground, or the weather is
inclement, the school hours are doubled.
In summer the boys rise ut 8 o'clock, and
after washing perform the tasks assigned
them, assembling for prayers at a quarter
to Z, this being followed by breakfast and
the departure of all to their various points
of labor. At half past II all come in, and
at 10 have dinner. An hour Is then al
lowed them TO play, and at half past 1
they return to work, at which they re-
main until halfpast g, In the evening
they have various exercises, another hour
for play, etc, and at half past retire for
the night In winter the order OF the day
Is somewhat different, the time being given
rather TO study than TO work.
A careful examination into the expenses
of the institution during the past year
shows that the COST Of the pupil averages
three dollars per week for board and cloth

ing, fuel, light salaries and inciden,als.
The cost to the State per pupil is about
fi.90 a week, the proceeds Of the farm
equalling about $1.S0 each week to every
inmate of the school.
II is confidently believed that as the farm
becomes developed the institution can be
made selfsustaining. The addition to the
building authorized by the Legislature Is
now in course Of erection, and will very
materially enlarge the capacity of the in.
suution, which has hitherto been entirely
too small for the purpose designed.
