Christopher Columbus Ontdone.

This is the way an egg inspector
stands an egg on it's point. He finds
one that is somewhat "gone." Such
an egg has well-marked bubble or
spot in the top. Holding the egg
point down, the inspector jerks it
downward several times, so as to drive
the heavier portion to the small end.
Then he carefully balances it, and the
egg stands up, Straight as a soldier.
AID egg was handed to man, and he
was told to pnt it between his palms,
locking his fingers together, so that
he could squeeze it good and hard.
He was directed to place the egg with
the small end against one palm and
the large end against the other, so
that the egg lay the long way between
his hands.
Then he was told to break that egg
by squeezing it. He tried several
times; he placed his hands between
his kaees and tried, but could not
smash the egg. Had it been held the
other way it would have been smashed
with the least pressure. Chicago

He Shed His Whole Skin.

A Lake City, Fla, correspondent Of
the Jacksonville Times Union says:
John Allen, farmer in this county,
reports that some six weeks ago a boy
in his neighborhood, about six years
OF age, stuck an orange thorn into
his hip, which infamed until the boy
was terribly fevered and swollen from
head to foot. Finally the peculiar
swelling subsidized and the boy re-
covered. But Immediately his skin
began to fake off in great dead strips
and patches, until he had as COM
pletely shed his entire cuticle from
crown to foot, as a snake at moulting
time, including that over the palms Of
his hands and soles Of his feet, which
came off whole and resembles some
what of cast of shoe, and being
quite as hard and thick. 1t is q per-
feet cast of the feet, showing the lines
of the skin, and it is about the con-
sistency and much of the appearance
of hard glue, But the boy has a COM
pletely new skin and is doing we'll.

The Baltimore a Ohio ia lho oldest
chartered railroad in America. and iho
oldest passenger railroad In tho world.
On the llh Of July, 1923, ground aas
broken for the promising enterprise
by Charles Carroll Of Carrollton, Tho
only remaining aigner o. the Declara
ton Of Independence. AZ tie time
it was only designed for horse rail-
road, for steam had not yet been
evolved into apraoiioal motive power
II was the original intention 20 extend
the road ultimately to the Ohio river,
hence the name which il now bears
was given TO il at its beginning
On the 22d OF May, 1880, the road
was opened for business from Balti-
more TO Ellicotts Mills, thirteen miles
The first American passenger ear
then used was almost II feet long ;ono
horse was attached, good for eight
miles an hour, carrying % passengers
The driver sat 10 front, the conductor
stood on tho steps behind. The first
driver, Mr. Galloway, who was after
wards made engineer, lived to see tho
road perfected from the primitive one
horse power to it's climax Of wonder
full display at the Worlds fair, whore
be held forth with pride as the first
engineer Of the first passenger railway
in America
Very soon after the road started q
more ambitious car was used, known
as the double decker" Then a
tread car was introduced, the object
being for the horse to move its own
car and passenger car attached at the
same timQ a sort Of animated four
legged locomotive, which is doubtless
more humorous to read about than 1t
would be to ride behind, particularly
in this day of lightning speed.
Momentous events followed quickly
on this new road, and on August %,
1880, the first American locomotive
ever constructed, made by Peter
Cooper, drew the first passenger car
ever propelled by steam upon any
railroad in the world, Mr.. Cooper act
ing as engineer.

Protection for Horses at Country
Churches.

Protection for Horses at Country
Churches.
AS a country parson, writes Rev.
MIG. Rambo in the American Agri-
culturiat my attention has often been
called to this matter Ny ministerial
work for the past few years has been
in charge Of country congregations,
aud / have been astouishcd at the lack
Of provision at the average church for
the accommodation Of the teams, while
the owners enjoy the comforts Of the
house Of God The horses arc COM
PEELED 10 stand out in the burning
sunshine or in tho bleak wintry wind,
with scarcely a shadow Of protection.
It is to mo a great source Of pain to
see tho animals suffer as they are often
compelled to do In the extromes of
weather and ] often shorten thief
service in order that the teams may
be relieved Of there misery
Every congregation should see to it
that there are some arrangements for
the comfort and protection Of the
teams during the hour ofseryice. No
one would think Of driving horses TO
town and letting them stand out in all
sorts Of severe weather as they do at
church. And yet only very few con-
gregations have given the least atten-
ton to the comfort Of the horses on
Sunday. It seems TO me that q church
should never be considered ready for
dedication until there has been made
ample provision for the dumb beasts,
FOR how can ones worship be accepta-
bic to the Creator unless he is consid-
crate of the needs of his creatures?
Sheds can be easily aud cheaply built
that will be a protection both in sum-
mer and winter The cash outlay for
their construction need be small.
The lumber necessary to cover
them and board up the windward side
is all that needs to be bought. Poles
in nearly all cases may be obtained in
the neighborhood and they will al
ways be donated. The work, too will
usually be donated
A "bee" in some leisure time of the
year might be held, when men of the
whole community would turnout and
the entire work could be done in one
day. Thus at the cost of little time
and very small amount of money, the
work could be accomplished. 1t is
certainly a cause that demands atten.

HER LOT WAS TO OBEY.

Tall, dobonair and smiling, Jack
Dalton looked worthy to WOO and win
even so fair a prize as pretty Nora
Carew, the belle Of Hampden town.
And as he looked at the bewitching
face once more he made up his mind
lhat tonight he would put his fate to
the touch, and would win-or else lose
It all.
"What energetic people you all are,
to be surel" said Mrs. Carew, placidly
surveying the two young people.
.'Tennis all day long, and now
dance. Where is Gladys, Nora?"
"Here, mother" answered a calm,
suaye voice, and Gladys Hastings, the
Eell-to-do married daughter, surveyed
Der young sister critically as she spoke
then as her eyes fell on the inpassioned
face Of Jack Dalton, she turned has
tily away.
"Como, Nora," she said, "the car
riage has been waiting some time,
end in silence the young people fol-
lowed her.
And now at last Jack will put it of
no longer. The girl he loves with all
the strenth OF his honest, manly heart
Is seated by his side. They are in the
conservatory and not living being is
In sight.
"Nora," he says softly.
The girl bushes bright pink, but
does not appear to resent his famil-
iarity.
"Nora, he repeats, taking hold Of
the little hand in this, "you know al
ready what would say, do you not,
my darling? Nora, I love you. Love
you more, I think, than ever man
ever loved before. Nora, will you be
my wife ?"
The blue eyes we're raised for a
second, and in their misty radiance
Jack Dalton read his answer.
"Noral" broke in voice Of meas
ured severity, which made Nora start
like a guilty creature, 81 have been
looking for you everywhere! Nora,
Mr.. Pontifex has arrived Unexpectedly
at home, and apparently, from what
] can gather, does not wish to meet
you first here. So, of course, you will
at once leave and"
II do not see why, Gladysl" said
Nora, but her voice trembled and her
fair face was very white. =
''Then allow others to judge of
what is right and fitting under the
circumstances, said Mrs. Hastings,
sharply. Il have made your apollo
gies to Mrs. Pelham; she quite IN
derstands the circumstances Run
Quickly and get your cloak,
As the girl goes reluctantly forward
Jack Dalton makes a hasty step tow
ard her, but Mrs Hastings gently de-
tains him.
Pardon me-" she said in soft
voice, in which there was light ring
of pity, "but I cannot but fear you do
not quite know the facts about my
little sister. you have been led to
think anything from her manner am
very sorry but it happens so often.
Naughty child She is sad fIirtl"
Mrs Hastings gave a gentle, amused
laugh, which died suddenly as her
eyes fell on Jacks white, stern face.
Excuse mel" he said, in naughty
tone, ''but do not understand what
you are endeayoring to convey TO me.
Why does the advent of this gentle
man appear so important to her,

.JER MYN.

The following communication was
sent out by the water committee On
Wednesday evening:
To the Citizens of Jermyn:
This is the first time since the pro-
posed waterworks. that we have felt
justified in officially addressing YOU.
We have not at any period had the
least doubt but that success would
crown our efforts, but we wished to
wait developments 50 that We could
speak with authority, without fear of
contradiction. The essential object,
where we shall get water, has been
overcome, the earth has been pierced
to considerable depth, and now puts
forth the precious treasure. y large
temporary pump has been running
thirty strokes a minute, throwing four
gallons to the stroke, or 100 gallons
minute for three days, without a sign
of diminishing or decreasing whatso-
ever in the flow. This can be increased
to almost double its amount or nearly
2iO gallons a minute. With a perma-
nent double discharging artesian well
pump it would furnish more than suf
ficient water for the peoples needs. The
opposition has taken to its last resort
and having failed in their favor they
lived in the hope that no water cOlJ
be found. The flowing stream that was
pierced at 2iO feet dispelled that hope
from their minds and they have now
turned all their efforts and attention
to prevent the borough from securing
the necessary bonds to complete the
work. With all the late developments
in our favor, we feel justified in assur-
ing the people that it but question
of time until the works will be fully
complete, as there are ten chances of
securing funds and but once chance of
securing water. Having succeeded in
the one, with one chance surely we will
succeed in the other ten.
