BY invitation | attended picnic
near st. Johns Rock last Saturday.
The spot selected is a lovely, grassy
spot, shaded by large oaks, where
Braddock's Road crosses the mountain.
300 yards south of the Rock.
Among those present were Mr.. and
Mrs James Kane, Rev. Mr.. and Mrs.
A. C. Haverstick, Miss Dollie Devec-
mon, Miss Mamie McCulloh, Messrs.
f. S. Deekins, Thomas G. Porter and
Dir. McIlhany.
The day being lovely everyone was
in the liveliest mood.
At p. m. dinner was announced,
and such a sight met our hungry gaze
as would have delighted the gods. We
did speedy Justice to the bountiful
repast prepared by our hostess, Mrs.
Carrie Coulehan, whom none can sur
pass in the culinary art and the grace
of presiding over hospitable board.
She was efficiently assisted by Mr..
Porter in his inimitably clever style.
After the repast we adjourned to the
Rock to "view the landscape o'er.'
The day waning toward the close we
adjourned sine die in good time to reach
home before sunset.
/ heard but one regret-that we had
not sufficient capacity to do full justice
to the various viands and dishes. All
were loud in praise of the fair lady who
made us so happy for time that we
we will never forget. NJ. D.

Some years ago, an old wooden
bridge spanned the Schuylkill river at
the foot of Penn street, Reading, Pa.
In the course of time more substan-
tial structure was deemed necessary,
and the timbers of the old bridge were
carefully taken apart, and reserved for
use in repairing and rebuilding the
smaller county bridges. While pre-
pairing some of this old timber for its
new use, few days ago, it became
necessary to saw off several feet from
q heavy piece, which was to be used as
a girder in small bridge under con-
temptation. When the end portion
dropped to the ground, the workman
was astonished to hear jingling sound

Strange to say, though we must have

conscious of having ever entered a
Buddhist convent, though these are
really numerous, and we occasionally
fell in with small parties of nuns,
whom, however, it was difficult to dis
tinguish from the holy brethren, save
by their diminutive size. Their dress
is precisely the same-namely long
gray or or yellow robe, white stockings
and thick shoes, like those worn by
men, and their poor bare heads are
closely shaven-a process to which the
little ten. year-old novices are partially
subjected, and which is completed
when, at the advanced age of sixteen,
the full-blown sister takes the vows of
perpetual virginity, of vegetarian diet
and strict obedience to the precepts of
Buddha. These vows are made in the
presence of Koon-Y Yam, the goddess of
mercy, who herself was q canonized
Buddhist nun; and thenceforth the sole
duty of these little nuns seems to lie in
going from house to house, wherever
their services are required on behalf of
deceased women, for whose benefit they
chant prayers to Koon-Yam the live
long day. When this exciting work is
not required, they are said to spend
their dull lives in state of utter vacuity.

FARM ECONOMY.
A Subject Which Every Agriculturlst
Should Study Carefully.

A Subject which Every AgrtculturiSt
Should study Carefully.
The cost of production of farm crops
is one of the features of farming whose
Importance needs no additional empha-
sizing. 1t has been long recognized as
one of the chief factors in the great
problem of making money off the
farm, and while by no means thoroughly
disposed of, it is no longer necessary to
preach its Importance. even to the
novice in farming. for he and all others
are seeking to solve the problem it
presents. There is another important
consideration in connection with the
great subject of farm economy, which
has not, however, received so much at
tention, but which is nevertheless
hardly secondary to it in Importance as
factor in the question of money
making in farming. We refer to the
kind and diversity of crops produced.
There is altogether too great DISPOSE
ton among the great body of our farm
ers to 60 on pretty much as they
and their neighbors have been
doing, in spite of the manifestly greater
profits that would follow a change in
methods. The people of Iowa and
Southern Minnesota are credited with
being fairly wide-awake, and yet all
know how long it took to induce the
farmers in these sections to divert their
attention from improbable grain grow
ing to the more profitable field of dali
rying and stock-raising. This is gen.
orally applicable all over the country
to individuals, as it has been and is, in
q particular manner to certain sections.
Many farmer may appear to have
mastered the connndrum of good
management on his own farm, have re-
duced the cost of production and the
extravaganza of waste to minimum.

out of his men, and. what is far more
important, to earn at the same time
their goodwill, so that their work may
be performed with cheerfulness and
thoughtful care, and yet lack one i'm
portant element of profitable farming
namely. growing the crops that will
pay the best; and his deficiency in this
respect will almost always be found to
be due to one cause--namely, the want
of intelligence on what is going on
outside of his own little world; and so
he may find that the lack of travel,
due to economical consideration, has,

A SODA MOTOR.
An Invention Which Promises to Revolu.
tionfxe Street Car Traffic.

An Invention which Promises to Revolu-
tionixe Street Car Traffic.
Minneapolis is anxiously waiting the
results of experiments with a ..soda
motor" which the inventor claims will
revolutionize street car traffic, and who
thus explains its workings: "a suitable
quantity Of properly diluted soda raised
to its boiling point (429 degrees) is
placed in a closed tank in intima tie con-
tact with the steam boiler filed with
steam and water in the usual proper
tons and at the working pressure. On
the opening of the throttle steam passes
into the cylinders, does its work, and
passes into the soda solution through
the exhaust pipe, which ends in per-
foratcd tube extending through the
soda, the remaining heat being alb
sorbed into the latter. When the soda
is so dilute that it can no longer main
tain the difference of temperature nee
discharged and a new charge of hot
condensed soda taken in. This opera
ton requires about five minutes, and is
called recharging. 1t has to be done
on an average once in six hours. The
operation of the engine is precisely
that of any steam engine, except that
there is no exhaust into the air and no
fire nor smoke connected with the
boiler. Steam is produced without fire
by the heat generated in the soda I've
which surrounds the boiler. and the ex-
haust steam is led from the cylinder
directly into the soda I've instead of into
the air. Thus working pressure is
maintained without any of the objec-
tionable vapors appearing, as in the
case of the ordinary motor, for the
simple reason that there are no vapors
to appear-St Paul Pioneer Press
