Personally Conducted Tours to Luray via
Pennsylvania Railroad.

The wide popularity which the Penn.
sylvania Railroad Company's personally
conducted tours to Luray and Natural
Bridge gained last season, has induced
the company to repeat them this summer.
There is no more attractive region in'the
East than the great valley of Virginia,
with its two great wonders-The Caves
and the Bridge-and none could be chosen
from which tourists could derive more
pleasure, profit and instruction. The tours
are fixed for Thursdays in August and
September. Excursion tickets, which in
clude days board at Luray Inn and ad-
mission to the caverns. will be sold from
Philadelphia at $1,000 and proportion
ately low rates from other stations. These
tickets will be accepted for passage from
Philadelphia only on the Niagara Express,
leaving Broad Street Station $50 A. N,
This also applies to points on the Phila-
delphia Division at which the Niagara
Express stops. From. al stations east and
north of Trenton, the tickets are good for
passage to Philadelphia on the day pre-.
ceding the excursion, as well as on the
train leaving New York at 6:20 A. NJ. on
Thursday, which will arrive in Phila-
delphia in time to connect with the
Niagara Express. From o;Acr stations
regular trains connecting with the
Niagara Express at H.. nearest station
must be used. The ply will be in
charge of the Touaist y ,ont and Chap.
eron. The return port.ul of the tickets
will be good for use until ana including
the following Thursday. Tickets may
also be purchased at 81 more than the
rate above quoted valid for the round trip
via Gc,iysinrg. In general and special
this trip is unequaled.

Cash.
Any person who happened in the neigh-
borhood of Judge Cummin's office Tues
day about 1890 o'clock A. NJ, could have
seen a crowd outside the building of from
three to four hundred people. These
were the people from Ccmbria borough
who were after their little stipend which
they were awarded.
Treasurer Thompson having gone home,
and Secretary Kremer being detained out
of the city, Fred Rheinhart, the paying
teller, took charge, and everything moved
like clock work.
Cambria borough is the largest but one
that the bank has had to deal with.
All day long men and women
kept coming up to Mr.. Rhein-
hart's desk, and getting their money.
Nearly every one departed with a smiling
countenance. The total amount paid out
was about $3.50
The Office will be open this morning az

A Single-Day Flower.

A French paper gives fascinating &C.
countof newly-discovered flower, of which
rumors have from time to time reached the
ears of foriculturists 1t is called the
snow flower, and is said to have been dis
covered by Count Anthoskoff in the most
northern portion of Siberia, where the
ground is continually covered with frost
This wonderful object shoots forth from the
frozen soil only on the first day of each sue
ceeding year. 1t shines but for single
day, and then resolves to its original ele-
ments The leaves are three in number,
and each about three inches in diameter
They are developed on that side of the stem
toward the north, and each covered with
microscopic crystals of snow.
The flower when 1t opens is star-shaped
Its PETALS of the same length as the leaves,
and about half an inch In width. On the
third day the extremities of the anthers,
which are five in number, show minute
specks like diamonds, about the size of a
pin S head, which are the seeds of this
wonderful flower Anthoskoff collected
some of these these seeds and carried them
with him to ST. Petersburg. They were
placed in a pot of snow, where they re-
manned for some time On the first day of
the following January the miraculous snow
flower burst through its icy covering, and
displayed its beauties to the wondering
royalty.

For some time past the Berlin police
have been mystifed by the occurrence OF
several murders, or rather the disappear
ance of several persons supposed to have
been murdered. The victims were al
traced to a certain locality, and there all
knowledge of them ended despite the strict
watch kept over the neighborhood. Finally
suspicion was directed to the shop of q
tobacconist named Bobbe, and his house
was searched. with the result of finding d
''man-trap' in the floor covering a deer
excavation in which were found the bodies
of the missing men. Bobbe was arrested
but has made no confession.

About Feeding.

People generally do not know how to feed
their chickens. They will either give
them too much or not enough. If they are
becoming very fat, lessen the quantity.
Feel the hens crops at night and If they
seem only half-filed and all the grain eaten
up clean. it is an indicator that they need
a more liberal supply Feed only twice a
dav. Six o'clock in the morning and SIX
at evening is a good rule for summer.
Seven in the morning and four or five
clock in the evening are the hours TOR
winter. Change the grain at least once a
week. Wheat and oats are best egg
producing grains we have. They are not
so ant to over-fatten, Buckwheat, a meal
once week, is frst-class as egg food. Too
much buckwheat, however, will fatten.
Rive makes a good change with wheat and
oats. 1t puts life in the flock. A morning
meal should be soft feed. Bran mixed
with clover hay cut about the size of oats,
and stepped the night before, has no su-
perior as a breakfast. Bran, TO which corn
meal and middlings are added. we have
also found good. A handful of grain to
each fowl is a good average. But some
won t eat that much.
Watch the general appetites and govern
yourself accordingly. The small breeds
eat more, as a rule, than the large varieties:
Our Leghorns consume twice as much food
as our big Brahmas, Cochlns or Langshans.
Not all soil contains gravel, and we must
therefore see that box of oyster shell is con-
stantly before them. Grit aids digestion.
Without it it is impossible to keep birds
in health Fowls must likewise have a
stimulant or tonic Nothing is better than
box of charcoal tackled up alongside of
the oyster shell box They will eat of these
whenever it becomes necessary for them to
do so. They must also occasionally. have
meat in their bill of fare. We provide it
by putting a big handful of meat scraps
twice week in their soft feed. The green
pod supply must be constant. It il plenti-
full in summer. but in winter it is necessary
to hang up cabbages in the hen houses,
boil potatoes, turnips and other vegetables,
and mix with soft feed. We do not believe
in running a regular Delmonico with every
hennery, nor do we believe in the meals
at-all-hours' plan. but our experience has
shown that the more variety we give the
better will the condition of the flock be.

Preparing Bees for the Winter.
American Agriculturist.

Successful wintering of bees depends
largely on preparations made before cold
weather sets in, such as uniting weak colo
MES, feeding, ETC. The extra food must be
given so early that the bees can seal up
their stores. Unsealed comb during win
ter is not healthful food Whatever vari-
ETY. of food is given them, the moisture
that arises from the bees during cold
weather enters the unsealed ssstorts, and
produces disease 1t is far better to look
to this important matter during the honey
season. and prepare frames of sealed honey
to supply all colonies thaG need feed. But,
In our greed for heavy crop, we are apt
to lose sight of this, and when feeding
time comes we buy sugar at high prices
to supply these wants. The fact has been
demonstrated time and again that it is
cheaper to depend upon the honey source
alone than to use sugar at any time. Be
sides we are greatly injured by the popu-
lar idea that we feed sugar for the produc-
ton of surplus money. But though it is
cheaper and better to depend upon natural
honey source alone; yet, if we have colon
les without honey enough to carry them
through the winter, and no surplus honey
at hand to give them, we must feed them
sugar or lose them. Uniting bees, and
supplying all colonies with good fertile
queens, is of primary Importance. As we
have the advantage of movable frame
hives. we should thoroughly arrange the
brood-nest in every colony, so that the
brood shall occupy the center of the hive
or combs Ii frame of brood is careless
ly set on one side, the bees occupy the
other side, aud the brood separates After
properly arranging the hive and providing
a good queen. we are ready to feed. The
food will be stored around the cluster of
bees. Frames of comb filed with pollen
near the cluster of bees are considered IN
furious to bees during winter. This has
been our experience, and we take particu-
lar pains to either remove such frames
from the hive or place them outside of the
brood-nest. Bees should not cluster on
frames filed with pollen during winter.
They use too much pollen as food. and it
has tendency to produce dysentery.

The jew i'm England.

The triumph of the Jew is quite a re-
cent thing in England, but it is none the
less complete. OF course, the barriers re-
manned against his religion long after
those reared against his nationality had
been swept away The Christianized
Israelites were able for more than one de-
cade to look over the fence at the Isaacs
and Cohens and Levys huddled forlornly
outside the pale 1t is now barely over
thirty years since the first Jew, Baron
Lionel Nathan de Rothschild was allowed
to take his seat In the House of Commons
And up to 1880 they were vigorously shut
out Of not onl y municipal public life, but
out of many professional avocations The
Jew sixty years ago In England could not
enter the army or navy; he could not be a
barrister or solicitor, or even a solicitor S
clerk; he could not even be schoolmaster
or usher at school. He had no right to
vote, even, If any one chose to challenge
him.
To-day, writes Harold Fredric in the
New York Times, there are some fifteen
orthodox Hebrews In the House of Com
mons, and as many more perhaps, who

other most Christian-looking names which
mask Jewish identity. Some of these Sc

instance, has become almost distinctively

great bulk of the clan or family, or what
ever term you like whose name is Moses,

rule of German equivalents that gave us
names like Adler and all the innumerable

berg" and ''thal," which to this day
make a passenger list on Norddeutscher
or Hamburg ocean steamer read like a
Rhine wine card, has in England been
largely superseded by the custom of taking
genuine English or Welsh names. The
