IT Is announced that Mr. Won Mumm. the
secretary of the German Legation IN Wash
ington has received his letters of recall and
will sail for Europe as soon rs his successor
arrives. is it possible that Mr.. Mumm has
given ofense TO his Government by not being
mum An ideal name for diplomat one
that probably had its influence with Mr.
Mumm in leading him TO adopt diplomacy as
his calling. We trust that he has not disre-
garded the suggestions of his name and is
merely returning to private life because his
profession as well as his name enforced upon
him the necessity of maintaining greater
yetcence than was agreeable to him.

The Robber Crows of Tamaqua.

The robber crows made such terrible
depredations upon his cornfields that
Frederick Hormon, living near Tama-
qua, was forced to take extreme meas
ures. He fitted up scarecrow with a
six-shooter, self-cocking revolver in
each wooden hand. In box in the
chest of the man image he placed a
strong clock to which he connected the
triggers of the pistols. He arranged
the connecting string so they would be
wound up in a certain mum Der of hours,
thus firing the revolvers. AS the crows
are worst at day break and as they are
fearful of the smell of burnt powder,
Mr.. Hormon arranged the pistols to be
discharged at ten-minute intervals in
the morning. The experiment worked
like charm, for although none of the
crows were hit by the bullets fired
from the scarecrow, the shooting scared
them SO badly that they always, after
two or three mornings, flew around
Mr.. Hormon's cornfeld by circuitous
route and bothered him no more

CURIOUS OLD CRAFT.
Tho Famous Whaling Vessel "Progress Z"
Now I'm Chicago.

One of the most interesting features
of the marine exhibit at the worlds fair
will be the timeworn and stormbattered
whaling ship Progress. This ancient
bark is now in Chicago.
The Progress was manned by a crew
Of Portuguese sailors picked up at New
Bedford, under charge of Capt Clifford
of the same place She is old style and
bark rugged; that is on the fore and
main mast she has square sails. On the
mizzenmast is fore-and-aft sail with .
gaff topsail similar to some of our lake
schooners. The vessel came with barz
masts, the ship being towed all the way
from Boston On her davits she carries
six large whaleboats, all of which have
seen actual service, and each one is pro-
vided with full equipment of gaffs,
spears and other paraphernalia used in
hunting the giant of the sea- These

I'm Noble county, w. Va, there is a
fathomless sea, composed of salt water
and oil, from which gas escapes with a
tremendous roar. Twenty years ago q
well was drilled there to the depth of
1000 feet. Some years later water and
gas escaped from the hole with great
pressure, tearing out the tubing and
cutting cavern apparently hundreds
of feet deep and forty feet in diameter.
After it ceased to flow farmer filled it
up and built barn over it, and again
few days ago terrific report an
nounced another explosion of the well,
oil and water pouring out in abundance.
In a single day the hole became fathom-
less and about forty feet wide.

THE SPARE.ROOM.

Housewife, air that room. the spare-room dark
and dim;
Throw ope' the shutters wide, pull up the cur.
tains grim;
Let sunshine warm and bright dispei the usual
gloom
That settles like pail throughout the shut-up
room
Let airy breezes blow and stufy corners
reach
The very walls would cry for air could they find
speech;
With firm, relentless step approach the couch
OF state,
Where semi-yearly guests are shown, and left
to fate
These victims may at morn assure you Of sweet
May smile and give no sign of rage within the
breast,
Nor tell the awful dreams that held them in a
vice;
Their smothered gasps for air, their fright at
sounds Of mice.
But these same guests receive important news
next day
Some unexpected news that calls them far
away;
They kiss and say good-by-say: Lovely time
we've had;'
The falsehood adds its weight to other feelings
If now and then a guest when ready TO depart,
Some bold brave men possessed of much more
grit than heart,
Would there present the case-would say Just
what he thought,
The work might be begun. the needed change
be wrought
The hostess possibly, would shed some bitter
tears
And call the man "bear," or hurt him by her
speers;
But in righteous cause securely he may stand,
And with prophetic eye see changes near at hand.
The work W ould spread in time, till spare-room
vaults will be
A thing Of long ago-a past barbarity.
Housewife, forestau this guest, and give him
lots of air;
The angel of his dreams, perchance, your face
will wear.
And as your hand he takes, when ready to de-
part,
His compliments will fall like dew upon your
heart
Sc, housewife, air that room, the spare-room
dark and dim,
Throw ope' the shutters wide, let air and sun
shine in.

GOOD IDEA FOR sPENDTHRIFTs.
"A Reporters Plan Whereby He Managed
to Have Monex All Week

"A Reporters Plan Whereby He Managed
to Have Money All Week.
A newspaper reporter who has welded
a pencil for various journals in New
York for nearly score of years told an
interesting story about himself to
party of congenial friends including a
iCemmercial Advertiser man, the other
evening, that will bear repeating. He
said that during the earlier portion Of
his journalistic career he found it al
most impossible to lay aside any money,
notwithstanding the fact that he was
then a single man and earned a first
class salary. Try as he would the
money he received on Saturday for his
weeks work would slip away from him,
and when Monday came around there
remained nothing for him to do but to
strike the cashier. Finally the cashier
became tired of being hit so early in
the week, and the reporter was warned
that he would have to give it up.
81 managed it in one way and an
other" said the writer, "but after a
time my friends also became tired and 1
found myself in many embarrassing
positions, until l finally hit on pecul-
lar but altogether satisfactory PLAN
"And what was that?" he was asked.
"Well, it was simply this: When got
my money Saturday afternoon / went
over to the post Office, purchased regis
tered letter, put portion of my salary
in it and addressed it to myself at the
Office. Of course, the letter was not
delivered until Monday, and in that way
] managed to get along all right and
fin ally save some money"

Zach Taylor's Wife Liked Her Pipe.

Zachary Taylor never felt at his ease
in the white house. He was rather
portly and had big head covered with
luyuriant white hair. Whenever he
appeared in public and was greeted
with applause, he would wave his hand
and say: Your humble servant, ladies;
heaven bless you, gentlemen" He was
fond of morning walks through the
streets of Washington, wearing an old
silk hat perched on the back of his
head and black broadcloth suit much
too large for him. His wife took little
or no part in society, but remained
quietly at home knitting and smoking
her pipe.-Augusta Chronicle.
