Comrade Noah Grant, of Harrison, Delaware

he is mistaken, since there must be many more
in his County, and if they will all come out
and be counted il will help. Let them gather
at the Countyseat Saturday, Oct. %, and form
a society for Delaware County.

Stacking the SchuyIkiu.

The other day there arrived at Philadelphia
q large consignment of rock bass from the
Pennsylvania State Fish Commission. These
fish were taken from the waters of Lake Erie
and deposited by the Anglers Association in
the Schuykill River, near Conshohoeken and
Spring Mill. These fish are hardy, and excel
lent results have accrued from their transplant
ing. They are specially adapted to ponds
and lakes or streams of not too rapid fow
Their flesh is faky and we'll favored and
the fish gamey for its size. The rock fish
is in all respects a good fish, whether for
the table or sportsman. The Anglers Associa-
tion expect further consignment of these fish
in the near future, and they hope to have all
the tributaries Of the Sehuylkill River sup
piled.

engagement every man in the company
went into the fight with sixty rounds of
cartridges. After we had been in for an
hour or more the report went from man to

Eggs, before their use at Easter, were
honored in pagan times. In the rites OF
Bacchus (Kossos) a consecrated egg was
an emblem of one of their mysteries.
These rites were celebrated fifteen cen
turtles before the Christian era. The
Druids bore an egg as an emblem of
their order, The HIindoo myths cele-
brate their mundane egg as of a golden
color. The japanese egg is of polished
brass. In China, at certain of their
sacred festivals, dyed and ornamented
eggs are used to this day as religious
symbols. The use of consecrated eggs is
traced to the most ancient times of
Egypt. In Germany it was at one
period the practice to present-instead Of
veritable eggs-an emblentatic print, in
which three hcns are holding a basket,
wherein are placed three eggs. Over the
center egg is n lamb, with n chalice rep
resenting Faith. The other eggs bear
the emblems of Charity and-Hope.-

There was an auction the other day in
the old home of Gen. Winfield Scott. 1t
was II clearing out of the old furniture
and various odds and ends which the pom
pous old general had collected in his
pretty long life. But no one seemed to
taxi any particular interest in it. Gen.
Scott is as completely forgotten in New
York as if he had died fifty or sixty years
ago. The present generation knows
hardly any thing about him. except that
he made rather poor work handling the
troops in and around Washington at The
beginning of the war. For the best Of
reasons because 1t was not born soon
enongh) 1t has no recollection at all of the
tremendous pow WOW there was when the
Wings ran him for president against
Franklin Pierce.
So when the auction Of his relics and old
furniture toe place, very few persons
took the trouble to attend IL. The buyers
were chiefly dealers in secondhand furni-
turc, and the prices were consequently
low, very low. Nothing on the catalogue
appeared to rave any historic value at all.
Each article was knocked down for what
it might be worth in a secondhand shop,
without the least reference to its original
ownership. That, however, was to be
expected. New York has 10 sentiment.
1t cares nothing for relics. All that 1t
sees is the market valu of things, and
when spending money it always acts ac-
cordingly.-New York Letter.

The result of n curious but very impor-
ant test as to this accuracy with which
chemists, druggists and others make up
prescriptions committed to their care has
recently been presented to one of the Lon
don v~estries. Fifty prescriptions were
sent out to ordinary druggists, to co. oper-
ative stores, to doctors Shops and to
certain traders styling themselves drug
companies. The mixtures made were aft
erward analysed, to find out how nearly
they agreed with the prescription they
represented; but in order to give n liberal
margin for error it was resolved not to put
a black mark against any one il the chief
constituent were within 10 per cent. of the
right mount.
Notwithstanding this margin, no
fewer than seventeen out Of
the fifty mixtures were incorrectly dis
pensed. In one case the principal drug
was less by 50 per cent. than the
amount ordered, while in another it vas
81 per cent. in excess. The chem
lists aud druggists came out best In this
strange competition, as only 8 per cont.
Of their prescriptions had to be called in
question. Next came the co-ope rative
stores with 20 Per cent. Of error; then
the doctors shops" with 50 per cent,
and lastly the drug companies, who are
credited, or rather discredited, with 10
per cent. of errors. -Chambers' Journal.

WATCH.

Grandfather's watch is battered and old,
Innocent quite of jewel or gold;
Poor and common, and worn and cracked.
Much like grandfather's self, in fact.
Yet its wheezy voice has o cheerful sound,
And the child az she listens In wonder
bound
To its mystic tales of departed time
Is smiling as though at n pleasant rhyme.
What are the tales the old watch tells
OF seventy years it counts the knells;
Year whose every setting sun
Was marked by labor faithfully done.
With primitive form and clumsy skill,
And clumsier help when the works went
i'll;
Yet serving their time as best they can
This is the story of the watch and man
Many n fall has the old watch hushed,
Many a blow has the old man crushed,
AT last rejected and thrown aside
For modern rivals, all science and gold,
Useless and crippled, despised and old,
Under n cloud and under a ban
This is the story of n watch and man.
But there's n reverse to the picture sad;
Human hearts they can still make glad.
The watch in its dented silver case
Can bring n smile to the fair chi,d's face.
The mans all battered and silvery, too,
With "A moral can cheer both me and you,
mark our time as well as we cam
This IL the lesson OF watch and man.

IT. a TACT generally lamented by the
biographers of Columbus that his name
was not given to his country. 1t is a ques-
ton with us whether he suffered or gained
by the accident. We are strongly inclined
to think the latter. Certain things and
certain countries have ma that
have about the same relation to common
names as the flowers have to the veget-
able of a garden; as holidays or sacred
attire has to everyday habiliment; as the
majestic flag has to the tents OF the sol
diery. Sue Il name is Columbia. 1t Is
the name that is on the lips of the return
ing citizen rs yet far out at sea he discerns
in the blue distance the shores of his ma
tive land stretched out beneath this west
ern sky. 1t is the name the last view of
his flag suggests to the dying patriot.
America is in Biographies, scientific charts
and common speech; but Columbia is the
land where dwells and reigns the goddess
of liberty. America is written in inter
national commercial transactions and dip
lomatic correspondence; but Columbia is
sung in the hymns of patriotism, and
breathed forth from hearts swelling with
the inspiring impulses of national pride
and love. America is a cognomen; Col
umbia is a title. America is our name in
the market place; Columbia is our name
at the ALTAR. c. Craven in Chicago

Exercise and Occupation for Dyspeptioa
Exercise in the open air and sunlight
properly proportioned to. the physical
strength and endurance, is of great value
in many cases. That obtained by walk

portion of instances. This is specially to
be remembered by those who have
changed their habits from active to Sc

Milk should not be taken in copious
lraughts, like beer or other fluids which
differ from it chemically. II we consider
the use of milk in infancy, the physi-
illogical indigestion. that is, of food pro-
vided for it, each small mouthful is Sc
,ured by effort and slowly presented to
the gastric mucous surface for the
primal digestive stages. 1t is thus regu-
larly and gradually reduced to curd, and
the stomach is not oppressed with Il
Jump Of half-congulated milk. The
same principle should be regarded in the
ease of the adult. Milk should be
slowly taken in mouthfuls, at short in
%tcrvals, and thus it is rightly dealt with
by the gastric juice. If milk be taken
after other food it is almost sure to
burden the stomach and cause discom-
fort and prolonged indigestion, and this
for the obvious reason that there is not
sufficient digestive agency to dispose of
it; and the better the quality of the
milk, the more severe the discomfort
under these conditions. Popular Science

Prices Paid for Wall Paper Designs.

The rage for novelties of all kinds has
been very great for the past few years,

1t is often a question amongst people
who are u~nacquainted with the anatomy
and physiology Of man, whether lying
with his head exalted or ever the body, is
most wholesome. Those who consult their
own ease on the point arguein favor of
that which they prefer. Now, although
many delight in bolstering up their heads
at night, and sleep soundly without in
jury, it is nevertheless a dangerous habit.
The vessels through which blood passes
from the heart to the head, are always les
sened in the cavities when the head is
resting in bed higher than the body; there
fore, in all diseases attended with fever,
the head should be pretty near on a level
with the body; and people ought to accus-
tom themselves to sleep in this position
to avoid danger.-Halls Journal of

A slower concert was given at Concord,
Mass, the other evening. A screen,
painted to represent n scene in a flower
garden, stood on the stage, and before it
were potted plants in p%rofusion. Some Of
the painted flowers were very large, and
in the center of each big flower was an
opening, skillfully concealed by a nova

singers, and their faces appeared in the
center of the flowers. The singing flow

Mrs. j. w. Bundy is trying the novel
and interesting experiment OF Matching
eggs in the hot springs. She has arranged
some three dozen eggs properly packed in
a large tin pan, which is set in the spring
water where the temperature Is right.
Over the pan is a cover, and at night, to
protect them from the colder air, n box Is
placed over the par. BY this arrange
ment the temperature is always the same.
The eggs have been "set' about ten days.

why II will not, there will be no further
use for coal oil incubators at Elisnore, and
