From the Crawford Journal, Rep.
The proposition of the Pennsy lvanra
Prohibitionists TO nominate Charles f..
Wolfe for Governor has dangerous
look. The old Independent fires are
slumbering, not entirely eXtinguished,
md there are many Republicans who
will not vote for General Beaver now
any more than they would four years
ago. They viii gladly vote for Wolfe,
not because they are Prohibitionists,
but because they are favorable to Gen
eral Beaver. Mr.. Wolfe would un
doubtedly poll more than the regular
Prohibition vote. Whether his candi-
dacy would not keep from the Demo-
cratic candidate those Independent
votes which he might otherwise get is
fair question. The count alone
would tell. For our part, although not
In favor of General Beavers nolhina-
ton, we believe if nominated he should
be elected. He got his punishment in
1882 for his subserviency and doubtless
he will remember it.

The Martin Koszta Afrair.
Intssr ocean,

Martin Koszta had been one of the
leaders in the Hungarian revolution
against Austria in 1919 After the re-
bellion had been suspended he fed to
Turkey for refuge. The Austrian gov
eminent demanded him from the Turks,
but the porte refused to give him up,
though. after some correspondence on the
subject, it was agreed to exile him
permanently to some foreign land. He
chose to be sent to the United States, and
came to New York and took out partial
papers of naturalization during his stay.
In 1854 KosZta returned to Turkey,
contrary TO his promises to the porte. At
Smyrna he received passport from the
American consul and went ashore The
Austrian consul at Smyrna, hearing of
tne exile's presence there, and having no
power to arrest him OF shore, hired some
bandits to throw him into the bay, where
q boat picked him up and conveyed him
on board an Austrian frigate. Capt
Duncan Ingraham, United States navy,
was at anchor in the bay with the Ameri-
can sloop st Louis, and he forthwith or
dered his guns loaded and pointed at the
Austrian vessel, threatening to fire into
her If KosZta was not Immediately sur
rendered into the charge of the French
consul The Austrian captain yielded the
poiat and gave up the prisoner.
The affair gave rise to a long discussion
between Baron Hulseman, the Austrian
minister at Washington. and William l..
Marcy, the American secretary of state.
Secretary Marcy got the best of the argu-
ment and KosZta was restored TO the
United States

Chasing the Pipeline scraper.

tOlean On. W Cor. New York SUM-
One of the many odd callings which the
production and pipeline transportation of
petroleum have made necessary. is one
known as chasing the scraper. Crude
petroleum is run from the oil regions to
the reineries at the seaboard, distance
of 300 miles, in iron pipes. 1t is forced
over the high hills that intervene by
powerful pumps. Much Of the way It
runs by its own gravity These pipes are
constantly becoming clogged by sediment
and paratfine.
feet and a half long, to which are at
tsched circular steel scrapers, fitting
loosely In the pipes, is placed in the pipe
at regular periods. This is forced along
the line by the pressure of the oil behind
it It is necessary to keep track of this
scraper, in order that its exact location
may be constantly known, so that if it is
stopped by any obstacle il may be readily
discovered and the obstacle removed. The
noise made by the scraper against the
iron pipes as it moves along their interior
would not be heard by an unframed ear,
but certain employees of the Pipe
Line company are able to follow it on its
journey by the noise, and never lose its sit
uation. These men are the scraper chasers.
They are stationed in relays three or four
miles apart along the line. One chaser
win follow up and down mountains,
across ravines, and through streams and
swamps until he reaches the end of his
section, when another man takes up the
chase and follows it until his relief is
reached, and so on until the course of the
scraper is run.
The work is one of hardship and
danger, owing to the character of the
country through which miles of the pipe
line is laid If chaser by any mishap is
thrown off the track Of the scraper and it
becomes clogged before he can recover its
position in the pipe, the cutting of the
pipe for long distances is frequently made
necessary, that the missing object may be
found-a work that is accompanied by
much expense and labor.

AFAMous WOMAN


sketch of the Life of Laura Bridgman
tho Wonderful Blind Deaf-Mute.
Laura Bridgman was born in Han
over, N. H., December Fl, 1929. Sh'
was bright infant, but in her secont
year had violent illness, which wholly
destroyed the senses of sight, hearing
and smell, and greatly impaired that o
taste. Though her general health was
so shattered by this sickness that sht
was almost helpless for several years,
she subsequently recovered her strength
and had apparently SO much intelii
gence, though shut in a realm OF dark
ness and silence, that she was in heI
tenth year, put under the care OF DR..
Howe, who then had charge OF tnt
deaf-and-dumb school at Boston.
There she was taught to read by touch
ing raised letters; then these letters
framed into words, were attached tc
objects, and she thus learned to know
objects by their names. Thus far
however, the work was only an exer
else of imitation and memory, and was
like teaching a clever dog variety OF
tricks. But all at once the truth seemed
to flash on her that by this means she
could make known to others what was
in her mind, aud this knowledge
seemed to change her whole being.
Her sympathetic teachers procured for
her a set of metal types, with the letters
cast at the ends, and. board with
square holes for their insertion, so as
to be read by the fingers when placed.
In few months she could spell the
names of the most common objects,
and in year had made great mental
Improvement. She would amuse her
self for hours with these letters, spell
ing old and new words, and framing
imaginary dialogues, and became much
happier and full of enjoyment in her
play. Her hand grew in accuracy as
her knowledge increased so that she
could recognize persons, fabrics. col
ors, etc., by the touch alone. In few
years she was able to receive lessons in
geography, algebra and history, and
learned to write fair, legibie hand.
She carried on animated conversations
with her teachers and friends by means
of the finger alphabet, the move
ments being made by the hands Of
others placed upon her own, as
she could not see them. She be-
came most skillful teacher of the
blind, and was for many years an in
structress in the Perkins Institution
for the Blind, in Boston. She still
spends much of her time in that insti-
tuition. She is very skillful per-
former on the piano, is quite dextrous
in many kinds of household work, and
is an adept in plain and fancy, needle
work, and can run a sewing machine
as well as any one. In spite of her great
affection Miss Bridgman always seems
happy and contented. Her case af-
fords one of the most remarkable illus
trations of what can be accomplished
by modern philanthropic systems Of
education. - Chicago Inter Ocean.

PARADISE MYTHS.

The Peculiar Ideas Entertained by Various
Uncivilixed People.
Paradise traditions seem to owe much
of their local popularity to peculiar
local fitness. In swamp village of
the upper Congo the brothers Rago-
zinski last summer interviewed woody
presbyter. who informed them that in
the far west, beyond the grave, there
was valley of peace, where good
spirits fit about, engaged in catching
mosquitoes and protecting the sleep Of
the just. The paradise of the Boto-
GUIDES is a land of cool streams, shaded
by forests so free from underbrush that
the blest departed can ramble for miles
without scratching their sensitive
skins. All desert-dwellers believe in a
thickly-wooded hereafter. The Yakoots,
of Eastern Siberia, hope to find
land of ready-lighted fires hung
around with bubbling kettles Of
fish-oil. The natives of the lower
Carolines dream of an isle of souls SO
large that tipsy man can stumble
about all night without fear of break
ing his neck in the sshore-cliffs. Our
Saxon forefathers hoped to line their
TRANSPORTED selves with beer and pork
steaks, diet which would make Turk
prefer the other place. The spirits of
the Scandinavian braves slaughter each
other in the halls of Thor; and that the
Greeks were at heart less truculent is
proved by the sentimental pastimes Of
their elysium. Chinese paupers, pinched
by hunger and Buddhism, hope at least
for the, advent of a golden age, when
every mans psunch shall be as convex
As prize pumpkin. Few Moslems
would accept q pass to paradise with
out houris, and poor Esquimau, whom
Rev. Claas Hansen hoped to charm
with the prospect of heaven without
ice and sea monsters, declined the offer
on the ground that Greenlanders can
not sqbsist without walrus blubber.

CONCERNING TEA

why tho Finest Grades OF Tea Are
Rarely Seen In This Country.
1t requires about four pounds Of
fresh leAvesto make one pound Of dried
tea, and the yield is three to four hum
dredpoupds per acre. Bohea is the
coarsest Of the Chinese teas. The best
quality Of black tea is pekoe, which
consists Of the very youngest leaves
while they are still clothed with down.
The finest teas, both green and black,
are rarely seen in this country, because,
if'paeked In large lots and conveyed in
the hold Of ship. fermentation takes
place, which destroys their quality.
It is mostly consumed by the wealthy
Chinese or finds its way overland tc
Russia.
It may be added here for the benefit
of the many who know not how to
make good tea that the quality of the
infusion is greatly influenced by the
character of the water with which it is
made, hard water never producing the
best efecti in tea-making. The wealthy
Chinese make their tea in the cup from
which it is to be drunk. The proper
quantity Of leaves is put in the cup,
boiling water poured over them, and
the cup covered with the saucer for a
while. A perforated bit Of silver made
for the purpose is fitted over the leaves
in the bottom of the cup to prevent
them from rising to the surface. Tea
should never be boiled. Toledo Blade,
