They would like to have you come

Singing exercises in the Kinder
garten consist Of
|. Devotional songs.
2. Songs for certain Seasons,
Times and Occasions including
Temperance songs.
3. Songs of Nature.
4. Greeting songs.
5. National songs.
6. Opening and Closing songs.
7. Trades and Industries.
8. Synbolical songs.
9. Marching songs.
Moral culture of the child is ef-
fected by these exercises:
Ta1 Devotional songs cultivate
the religious nature of the child.
[b1 Songs of Times and Occa-
sions (and Seasons), give knowl-
edge of and interest in history, in
Guiding people, places and occa-
sions. The child is taught respect,
gratitude, heroism, ambition and
desire for progress in civilization,
EN- bracing Temperance.
[c] Songs of Nature teach ad
miration for Gods works, rever-
ence, love of knowledge for its own
and humanity's sake.
Id Songs of Greeting. The
child is affected by these songs by
bringing it into nearer relationship
with those by whom it is surround
ed.
In the marching songs, order,
business, impartiality and prompt
ness are taught.
The Trades and Industrial songs
teach respect for and value and ne
cessity of work, and workmen.
Of the Symbolical songs it has
been asked that especial mention
be made at the next National Con-
vention Of the w. c. T. U.
You have heard that the Games
and Plays of the kindergarten Gull
tivate the moral nature of the child.
The Ring Plays which you have
seen practically illustrated by the
Winding Game, and the play of
the Wandering Nullei, which the
children played at your lawn party
few evenings since, are examples
of this.
They teach Unity of action, Gen
tleness, Patience, Politeness, JUS
tice, Order, Confidence, Thought
and Thoughtfulness as leading to
an interest in their surroundings,
also Concentration and Attention.
The songs cultivate the voice,
make the child apt and ready.
They teach leadership and obedi-
ence.
Now word more of what in all
other schools is called lost time; tor
the games and plays of which I
have thus far spoken, although an
important part of the Kindergarten
system, indeed one of the most i'm
portant parts, only sustain that re-
lation to the kindergarten instruc-
ton proper that recess time sustains
to regular duties.
Froebel has provided twenty So
called Gifts and Occupations, with
which the child is regularly taught
for three years, and the plays are
for recreation.
The lunch time belongs here al
so and must be mentioned in this
connection.
AS the paper just read on Kitch-
en- Garden SO clearly showed us, the
lunch time is very important ed
vocational feature of the child's life,
teaching Generosity, independence,
Neatness, Carefulness, Prudence,
Judgment, Physiological laws, in
Guiding Temperance, Charity,
Thankfulness and Etiquette.
Some excellent Temperance lit
erature for talks at this time can be
had by applying to 161 La Sale
St., Chicago, Ill.,, or to Miss Julia
Colman, New York, N. Y.
Miss Anna Gordon's "March-
ing Songs for Young Crusaders"
are an excellent collection of songs
for use at this time.

REBER SBURG.

Geo. Wate, of NJ. Garman, is at
present here visiting his friends and
relatives.
Geo. Rule sold his farm to John Sto-
yer, OF near Fiedler's, lIaines twp,
for $160O.
James Frank has the contract for
gathering up the cream through this
neighborhood for the Spring Mills
creamery.
VIM. Kreamer, who was TO Vicks-
burg one day last week attending a
horse sale returned home with fine
percheron colt, 2 years old, which tips
the scales at 1925.
Harvey German, who with his fami-
ly left last spring for Valley Falls,
Kansas, with the intention OF locating
there permanently. arrived in town
last Wednesday. Harvey thinks there
is no place like Brushvalley. The band
boys gave him good serenade on
w ednesday evening which would indi-
cate that Harvey has many friends in
this section.
Thos. Walker and Newton Brumgart
were off to Nittany buying up sheep
and returned with fine lot. Among
the flock we noticed several Holstein
calves.
Two of our young fellows heard the
report Of Cuba's destruction and
thought it would cause a sugar panic.
They FASTENED to buy up large quan.
tity of that article for the purpose of
speculating. But alas, Cuba is still
thele, and so IS their sugar. 1t can be
bought at COST. We truly sympathize
with these young men.
Austin Gramley sold his farm,
known as the Kleckner home, to Joseph
Moyer, of Centre Mills. Austin after
wards bought the northern part of the
old homestead, Gramley's farm, and
has already broken ground to erect
buildings thereon.
Yves. Snyder's corn huskers found an
ear of corn that has ITO grains.
That's big ear.
Philip Gramley had Griffin Garrett,
that boss carpenter, remodel the in
terror of his house and Philips resi-
dence is now one of handsomest homes
around here.
We hope there will be soon an end to
this masquerading business. 1t is any
thing but creditable for married wo-
man to walk around town in mems ap-
parel. It's trltle too bold and if the
lady has 10 respect for herself she
should haye some for her husband.
Let the occurrence the other day be the
last of the kind.
Some mean thief found his way to
Yves. Snyder's oats box and helped
himself. Yves thinks 1t rather cheeky
and if the theft is repeated he will re-
ceiye the parties with about two ounces
of shot. SQUBoC.

The following item appeared in the
Sunday Times, Philadelphia, last week,
as Pittsburg Dispatch and as it speaks
Of the Penns Caves, situate mldWays
between this place and Bellefonte it
will be perused with interest by many
of our readers
A CAVE IN CENTRE COUNT Y.
Penn Cave, of Bellefonte, Pa, is of
very recent discovery. 1t has just got
ten over the novelty of christening.
1t is a second Luray cavern, and ii it
were the property Of All enterprising 9
man it would rise to fame. A farmer,
while blowing. accidentally discovered
it some few years ago. He has done
nothing more to it than to open an en-
trance i'm the hillock and build for him
self boat to accommodate the hun
dreds of curiosity seekers who come
and 90. Eyen so distinguished Gle.
brlty as Ex-Governor Curtin, who
lives in BelIefonte, has had no influence
to bring the marvel into worthy prom
inence. We reached it six miles out OF
town by spec ial conveyance. We call
ed the farmer from his plow and gave
him a quarter dollar fee each, and so
were conducted into the wonder. The
farmer Snowman was no expert at the
oar lie padded from behind and IL
lumined the way with lantern affixed
to the PROV. Understand, the cavern
is dark from the start, and 1t must be
seen all through in boat. Water per-
vaGes 1t and the pendant cones that
drop like icicles everywhere allow a
passageway, through which you ply
your boat. The formation of stalag-
mite ana stalactites presents the most
fantistic spectacle in the glare OF the
torch. The spectral reflections on the
water, with the splash blind fish, make
the quarter mile journey a weird one.
Y ou reach the end wall, through which
there is small opening, and by which
you may have an extended vista with
the light--the dream Of greater won
ders undiscovered. The progressive
genius OF the outside world does not
forget itself here, for cards Of all kinds
adorn this subterranean bill board
The cave is grand study, and it will
repay all tourists TO see 1t.

Good Sermons.

REV. DEAN RICHARDSON, of st. Marks
Cathedral, preached Sabbath morning.
using the revised version from the text
"ue that disbelieveth shall be con-
demned," instead of "He that believeth
not, shall be damned" The Dean ex-
planned that by the change the wilful
rejection of the Gospel was implied by
"disbelieveth," thus not referring to
heather or such as were much in the
same situation as heather in Christian
countries. Hence, by stronger reason
for those to whom the gospel is offered
and who knew its claims, its rejection
will be visited by the more terrible re-
tributiOn as being an abuse OF great
mercy. The audience was large and at
tentiye. Dean Richardson is of veneer
able appearance at the altar and in the
sacred desk; his open, serious, but
cheerful countenanCe attest the purity
of his life and motives.
REV. Mr.. WHATLEY's sermon in the
Cumber land Presbyterian Church In the
evening was on Trust in the Lord"
He showed that as we trust in men, and
largely from necessity, so it Is our
bounden duty by stronger reason TO
trust in God. There 10 no danger here
of misplaced confidence. The sermon
tended to strengthen confidence be-
tween man and man, and towards
strangers when properly recommended;
rs well as the higher duty Of trust IN
the Lord, our Maker. Mr.. Whatley is a
young minister OF great promise.

The Chinese Ordered Out OF Seattle,
Washington Territory.

PORTLAND, Ogn., February S.-The
Oregonian's Seattle special Gays: At
last the long drawn out anti-ChineSe
agitation has reached the eliminating
point, SO far as Seattle is concerned. 1t
was thought by many that when the
United States troops were withdrawn
from here that the agitation was dead,
and as weeks went by without the COM
mission of violence the feeling grew
stronger. AS events show, however,
the feeling was not even dormant. and
the agitators have been quietly laying
plans all the while. Etierts were made
TO put these plans into execution to-day,
though with what success cannot be
said. An anti-ChInese meeting was
held yesterday afternoon, at which
committee was appointed for
the Ostensible purpose OF visiting
Chinatown and asoertaining whether
the city sanitary regulations were
properly observed. The committee
commenced work att O'Clock this morn
ing. Headed by Acting Chief of Police
Murphy, and accompanied by an enOr-
nous crowd which had apparently come
together by previous understanding, 1t
proceeded to Chinatown. The mode Of
procedure was simple. The committee
would approach a Chinese house and
knock at the door. When the occupants
appeared they were asked questions con
corning the observance Of cubic air and
other city ordinances. While the con
versatiOn was in progress. the crowd
would enter the house and begin pack
ing the contents upon wagon,
which would appear at that juncIure.
1t was quite useless for the Chinese 10
resist and they generally acquiesced
with rs good grace as possible. When
the movable goods were loaded In
the wagon the owners were also
placed on board and driven TO the
ocean dock where the Queen Of the Pa
citic was lying ready TO sail for San
Francisco. Not the slightest warning
of this movement had been given and
the authorities were totally Unprepsred
for it. The police force generally sided
with the crowd and made no effort to
stop the work Of removal. Sheriff Nc
GrAw was soon on the scene and com
manded the mob to disperse, but they
paid no attention to him. When he
would collect citizens and attempt to
interfere with the crowd, they would
cease operations at that point but carry
them on without cessation in other
quarters. This continued for several
hours. Sheriff McGraw, Judge Green
and Mayor Vsster made such efforts as
they could in behalf Of the4sw,bdt
without avail.

Miss Annie PiHley.

The visit Of Miss Annie Pixley to San
Antonio on the 18th and 18th inst, is a
notable event in the dramatic season as
much so as the advent of the Emma Alb
bolt Opera Company. Every play-goer
remembers her wonderful creation Of
M'liss. 1t was as M'liss Miss Pixley
made her reputation, and it ia in Miss
that she is constantly adding to it; the
longer she plays it the more admirers
she gains. Since her sojourn abroad her
naturally fine voice has greatly i'm
proved and her beauty has ripened to q
fascinating maturity. In addition TO
her own talents she has surrounded her
self with company, the ensemble OF
which would be hard to make more per-
feet. OF a recent performance of this
lady, the New York Times says: "Af.
