And stole her from hrr home,
But took her up to the mapsions of light
Forever VITA the angela TO roam.
You will know the love Of your mother

Wrapped in her robe, she sleeps now
Beneath the cold, damp ground.
But We know if she could of spoken

And that her last wish would be,
Ere earthly ties we're riven,
Walk close to God, come follow me
To our blessed home in Heaven.

So We must meekly bear our cross.

A Snake Story.

Daniel Frailey of Eldertown, Arm
strong Co., met with an experience a
| few days ago that he will remember for
many a day. While walking along the
road near the old Dixon hotel he saw a
large blacksnake coiled up near the
fence with its head sticking up a foot or
so in the air. He struck the snake with
his cane, breaking its neck, but no soon
er had he done so than four other black
snakes came through the fence, and i'll
their fury at the killing of their compan-
ion, set upon him, one coiling around
his leg This one he succeeded in
tranping off and killing, while he kept
the other snakes off with his cane. As
he is an old man and in feeble health,
he soon became exhausted, and clutch
ing the fence, made his way to the
hotel barn, where it was some time be-
fore he could explain to those present
what had happened, he remaining
speechless for quite a while at the same
time the prespiratiou streaming from
him saturated his clothing and trfekled
to the barn floor. When he recovered
enough to explain what had happened,
a party started for the scene OF the
battle and discovered the two dead
snakes, one five feet long and the other
five feet ten inches in length. The three
remaining snakes had retreated to some
rocks near by.

The Summer School.

A remarkable illustration Of the gener-
nd interest Of Americans In educational
rostters s,d the ambition for intellectual
improvement b witnessed In the develop
rnsnt Of ehA samneg school. These novel
aaaitions 10 The educational facilities OF
opr cosntry ara a modern growth and
have rscidly increased In nnnlber during
the pest bali dozen years. The first dis
tinctively summer school is credited to
Professor Lonis Agassiz, who in 1867 or
'68, established an institution on Penikese
island, In Buzzards Bay, fos teaching nat
urai history. A bulietin recently issued
by the Rsgents OF New York State gives
list of reo summer schools, of which
I6o are In this s'nutry.
The summer school, howevef. as at
present organised begins with the Chau-
sauqaa Assembly, which was established
In 1874 for Bible teaching only, but
which has extended its original scope
and now includes wide range OF secular
Instruction. The Chautauqua idea pre-
walls in aearly all, as abe principal SUBJ
iect OF stuay Is the Bible. In nearly
every State where there are schools OF
ehis kimi they are modelled after the fam
Gus one ON Chautssqua lake. At least
fftf Of these are now h existence. Other
religious dezos,Anatfons have followed
tho example, and one of the most nota-
bic OF tboae ressntly established IS thai
Of tts csthsic church, which Is located
at PlattsburH on Lake Champlain.
In foreign lands the plan OF the sum
met school was adopted in England ly
Oxford n 1898 and by Cambridge IN
1900. There are likewise similar schools
ut Calm In France, Upsala in Sweden,
lena In Germany, Grindewald in Switzer-
and, Bardezsg in Turkey and Doshisha
In Jsean. All Of them are designed to
give opportunities for sunuher study un-
der competent teachers for those who
have time for It only during then summer
holidays.
Tie spirftualistic gatherings held at
LILY Dale every ytar are hardly to De
enumerated among the distinctly SUM-
npsr schools, although the attempt is
made to teach the Spiritualistic philoso-
ply through famous mediums by means
of lectures and so-called phenomena OF
the unseen world. Several States have
established branches of the Chautauqua
Assembly, which are conducted on the
same general plah. That OF Pennsylva-
mia Is one OF the most successful OF the
lot. They all recognize the great assem-
bly, on Lake Chautauqua is their parent
stem, and most of them have adopted
The term Chautauqua as descriptive of
their ends and aims.-Derricb.

A Narrow Escape.

During one of the extreme hot days OF
last week when the thermometer was fair
ly boiling over, a certain well known
farmer of Highland township, was engag-
ed in blowing In the hope of cooling
himself off as much as possible under the
circumstances he not only removed his
coat and vest but his pantaloons also.
The field in which he was plowlng being
somewhat remote from any public high
wav, he was thus enabled to obtain some
comfort, although it must be confessed
that the appearance he presented would
not have afforded a very pretty picture
for fashionable merchant tallors adver-
tisement After going few rounds OF
the field he began to banker for chew
of tobacco and remembered he had lett
his plug with numerous articles IN his
breeches pockets, whereupon he lmmedl-
ately wended his was to the fence corner
where his discarded panties' were lett.
When he was about to pick them up he
noticed his pen knife lying OH the ground
near by and soon afterward received sur
prise No. in discovering that his pocket
book which with a considerable sum OF
money was missing. He Immediately
suspected the thief to be young man
who had been lettering around In the
neighborhood that morning while on ms
way to take the noon train at Clarion
Junction. He accordingly secured the
services of Constable Dolby and they pro-
c.eded to the junction where they found
the chap suspected and searched him bnt
without finding any trace of the missing
money. They then returned home and
sometime later succeeded in tracing. the
the theft to a small boy in the vicinity
who having found pair of pants without
any apparent owner or occupant helped
himself to as much of the contents OF the
pockets as he cared for. The boy turned
over the money to the rightful owner
and the good housewives about Helen
furnace are now making pockets for their
husbands drawers as a precautionary
measure and all is as merry as republican
nominating convention.-Clarion Demo

Spain in a Tumult.

| The capture of the steamer Competitor
| to Cnba for the Insurgents; the court
| martial and condemnation to death OF
| the prisoners, and the protest OF our
| Government against the summary exc
| cution of the prisoners created great
sensation in Spain.
The Spanish minister at Washington
telegraphed to Madrid that the American
government had expressed its satisfaction
at the order Of the Madrid cabinet stop
ping the executions in the Competitor
affair.
Stocks are lower in Madrid, owing to
the development in the Cuban situation.
There is no public alarm, but silent re-
sentiment gainst the United States in
creases, and may explode on any cause
when least expected. The people are
persuaded that the present protest en-
courages the rebels and destroys the
moral effect of the recent Spanish vic
tories and of military advantages so dear
ly bought.
News of the Laurada affair, increased
the indignation. The Correspondence
Mihtar," the most influential military
papar in Spain, says:
against the fact that the prisoners
were caught red handed, all the diplomacy
OF the United States must fail. The Com
petitor filibusters will receive their due
after their new trial. If the United
States insist upon protesting against the
result, then il will mean that they wish
war, and we shall have it."
Clandestine proclamations are being
circulated in Madrid inviting the Re
publcans to rise in revolution, but the
police promptly destroy them, and they
are causing little effect
The Impartial" receives from the
provinces many kilograms from Spaniards
eulogizing a strongly worded article and
declaring that no more claims from the
United States can be admitted 50 long as
the Americans, in violation Of interna-
tional law support and supply the rebels
with arms, money aud men.
Regarding the position of General
Weyler, it is generally considered that
the matter is not settled but only held in
abeyance pending the action of the
supreme court and the government, and
that if the prisoners are not shot Weyler
will resign.
At the meeting Of the Liberal senators
and deputies Tuesday ex-Premier Sa-
gasta said:
81 will not speak at presene on what
has happened in the American chambers.
Although deeply lament the barbarous
manner in which they have acted with
regard 70 Spain, hope the president will
proceed as the head of civilized nation
should. It is possible that one nation
might interfere to end a fight between
two independent nations, but in the case
of rebellion no country can interfere,
unless the rebels have established fixed
governments, courts Of justice ard ac-
quired territories. In Cuba the rebets
are dong nothing but flee, murder and
burn, aud the United States has no right
to declare them belligerents.
81 hope President Cleveland, following
the prudent conduct he has observed on
other occasions, will make the rebels un-
dertand that they must not expect rec
ognition OF belligerency."

Around the World

In General Grants lifetime it was con-
sidered a grea: feat to 60 around the
world in SO DAYS. About five years ago
the New York Worlds correspondent,
Nellie BLY,, made the trip in u days,
travelling by the ordinary routes. Now
another step has been made in annlhilat-
ing time and space, and the lightning
tourist can circle the globe i'll 65 days,
| and he is not considered 70 be doing any
thing extraordinary. But there is soon
to be another great slice cut oil from the
time.
The Transsserian railway is being
rapidly completed. It will be borne IN
mind that the nearer the pole we go the
smaller around its circumference the
earth becomes. The Transsiberian rail-
way will be the most northerly one run
ming east and west on the globe. II the
traveller, therefore wishes tc go around
the world at lightning speed after this
great road is finished he will have only
to start from Paris by rail and be
whirled to Moscow. This will take him
some four days. At Moscow he takes
train eastward through European n Russiai
thence on through Siberia till he IS set
down at the port of Vladivostok, on the
Pacific. This will occupy perhaps 20
days for the route is long. From Nladl-
vostok he takes steamer for Nokohoma,
and there another steamer to America
He crosses America on the Canadian Pa
cifc and is home again in Paris less
than month and halt from the time
he started. The calculation has been
made that when the Transsiberian rail-
way is entirely finished the whole globe
trip can be made i'll less than IS days.
What enjoyment there could be IN
such whirlwind travel as that, however,
is another question Among the slower,
most enjoyable journeys around the
world are those planned out for excur-
sion parties and in charge of conduc-
tor. The price of these has been brought
down amazingly low, some OF them cost
ing no more than $500.
