A General Cutting Down OfExpense
and a Reduction n in the STAFF.

"A WohOrdA CutIhS DOWN. Oh Expenses
and a Reduction in the STAFF.
President Roberts has sent copies of the
resolution recently adopted by the Board of
Directors for the curtailment of expenses on
vania Railroad Company. The resolutions
have been distributed to all the officers of
the lines west of Pittsburg and Erie. In
speaking of this cutting off of unnecessary
labor, Captain Green, Second Vice-Presi-
dent of the company, yesterday said: "This
move is perfectly natural. The company
has been very prosperous for the last ten
years, SO much so that a great many things
which could be used, but were not absolutely
necessary, were purchased. In fact, here
and there extravaganza crept in, as it would
in any large and rich household. The move
just begun is a cleaning up, and there is no
doubt good results will be obtained

Poor Attention.

In the old days in western Pennsylvania,
when the people had little money to pay
for teachers and could spare their boys but
little time from the work of the field,
school kept" almost necessarily during
the few weeks when it was in session, with
no Saturday holidays and very brief re-
cesses. At one little school house among
the mountains an old fashioned Irish
schoolmaster was once employed who kept
his boys grinding steadily at their tasks
but gave them permission to nibble from
their lunch baskets sometimes as they
worked
One day, while the master was instruct
ing class In the rule of three, he noticed
that one of his pupils was paying more at
tention to piece of apple pie than to the
lesson. "Arrah, therep' said the master;

The Baldwin Apple.

The Baldwin is dark red apple of me-
dunn size. 1t grows abundantly through
out this state and New Jersey Like the
Newtown pippin it keeps for a long time,
and for that reason it is in great demand
for winter eating. The Baldwin is the
apple of the people. 1t is sold in cheap
grocery stores and restaurants, on railroad
stations and cars, on street stands and
ferryboats, at circuses and kindred enter
tainments, and in the common, ordinary
boarding house of commerce. 1t is the
apple which small children buy coated
with glazed sugar and mounted upon a
decapitated match.
1t is the forbidden fruit which country
school children MUNICH surreptitiously
during lesson hours, and for which they
get whippings. On the street it sells for
one or two cents In restaurants it is
served at the rate of two for quarter.
Two bad features of the Baldwin are the
sickness of its skin and it's tendency to
worms. If it can be kept free from the
latter it will, as above stated, remain good
for many months.-New York Evening

The Crown Prince and the plug Hat
The little sons of the emperor of Ger
many were shown the mysteries of cha
peau claque, or crush hat. Shortly after
ward, in the anteroom of their father
they found a tall hat, and Immediately de-
sired to test their skill in shutting it up
Being an ordinary hat, and without the
claque mechanism, it naturally refused to
shut.
At last one little prince, growing impa.
tient, said to his brother, ''Sit on it, Fritz
chenl" Fritz obeyed; there followed a
loud crack and a roar of laughter from the
authors Of the mischief The emperor
sent out to ask the cause of the disturb
ance. Pointing to the smashed hat, the
young crown prince replied, with mill
tary salute, 1.-The obstinate thing wouldn't
shut at first, but among us we managed to
make it change it's mindf'
The wrecked hat was replaced by new
one, which the owner will doubtless keep

the life of his country's future head

Tho Principle of the Kindergarten.

The German Froebel was the great apostle
of the kindergarten, word which means
literally garden of children, where young
human beings are cared for as plants are
cared for, that their growth may be sym
metrical. and that the ripened fruits Of
character may appear in due time. He
saw that the infant made constant use of
its eyes, desired to use its legs and arms,
and had a disposition to play; that with
the first indication of intelligence it showed
curiosity, and that its first connected words
were in the form of questions. 1t is be-
cause his system of education is based
upon these facts Of the child's natural I'M
folding that it has proved itself to be the
best, and indeed the only proper training
for young children.-Caroline lie Bow in

Ages of Birds.

Among birds, the swan lives to be the
Oldest, in extreme cases reaching 800 years;
the falcon has been known to live 162 years.
An eagle died in 1919 which had been
caught 104 years before and was then quite
old. A white headed vulture, which was
caught in 1106, died in the aviary at Schon-
brun, near Vienna, in 1924. Parrots live
more than century. Water birds have a
long life exceeding that of several genera
tions of men. Ravens also live over a hun
dred years.
In captivity magpies live from 20 to %
years, and still longer in freedom. The
common hen attains the age of from 10 to
90 years. Doves live 10 years, and the lit
tie singing birds from 8 to II years The
nightingale's life is the shortest, 10 years
being the longest, and next comes the
blackbird, which never lives longer than

FORE CLEANS.

Sometimes when at twilight hour
Dark clouds DER the fair sky tower,
Through one rift of soft, deep light
Cleans the fairest star of night.
And we know that far and near
Hidden stars are shining clear.
Sometimes when the woodlands deep
Lie In winters silent sleep,
Through the stiffness floats along
One birds sweetest, loftiest song;
Then again may memory hear
Myriad bird notes, sweet and clear.
So through sorrows shadowy night
Breaks CLEAN of hopeful light;
So sweet flower of faith doth bloom
Oft within doubts fields Of gloom,
And through silences of pain
Echoes oft some heavenly strain.
