Robbed on a Freight Train.

Last Thursday, James Rooney,
railroad contract foreman at Bixler's,
vas seized upon by q number of
tramps, while he was riding on q
freight train on his way home from
some point east Of this place. The
outrage took place bstween this town
and Thompsontown. The tramps
threw him down on q car and searcl.
ed his pockets and robbed blm Of
90 so; pair OF gloves and razor,
Rooney had 5 tramps arrested and
brought before Justice G. B. Horn
ing, but when he came to identity
them before the Justice, he felt Ger.
tain only as to two of them The
men he identified as beiug of the
number who robbed him gave their
names as James Kerriss and James
Nc Dermit. In default of bail they
were sent to jsil to answer before
court. The other three tramps gave
their names as James Irish, John
Snyder, Samuel William, were charg.
ed by Rooney with illegal train rid
ing. and were fined $5 by the Jus
tice, but having no money, they were
sent to jail for period of five days.

Inequality In Eyes.

You are either left eyed or right
eyed unless you are the ono person
out OF every fifteen who has eyes of
equal strength. You also belong to
the small minority of one out of every
ten personr, if your left eye is stronger
than your right. As rule, Just as
people are right handed, they are
right eyed. This is probably due to
the generally greater use of the or
gans of the right side of the body, az,
for example, a gunner, using his right
arm and shoulder, uses his right eve,
thereby strengthening it with exer-
else. Old sea captains, after long
use of the telescope, find their right
eye much stronger than the left. This
law is confirmed by the experience of
aurists. If a person who has ears of
equal hearing power has cause to use
one ear more than the other for long
period, the ear brought into requisi-
ton is found to be much strengthened,
and the ear which is not loses it hear.

Teachers Certificate.

The question of the power of the
County Superintendent of public
schools to issue teachers certificates,
is in the courts of Huntingdon county,
and is thus spoken of in the Hunting
don journal of Feb. %.
The appeal of S. G. Rudy, County
Superintendent, from decree of the
court of common pleas of Hunting
don county, directing him to issue a
teachers certificate to E. E. Kell, to
be argued before the Superior Court,
will no doubt attract wide attention.
81. H. Waite as attorney for Superin.
tendent Rudy has completed his pa per
book. in which be contends that un-
der the law the county superindent's
action il refusing a certificate to q
teacher who habitually uses intoxica.
ting liquors as beverage is not re
versivable by the courts. Mr.. Rudy
deserves great credit for the stand he
has taken in the case. Under the
law, he is compelled to pay the ex.
penses of appealing his case to the
Superior Court, but he is determined
to know from the highest Court,
whether be is obliged to issue certi-
ficates to teachers regardless of their
moral character and sobriety. We
trust his appeal to the Superior Court
will be sustained.

Pasturing Winter Wheat.

The subject of pasturing winter
wheat has received some attention al
the Kansas experiment station. The
conclusion is arrived at that pasturing
is always an injury to the wheat. The
extent of the injury will vary with
the character and condition of the soil
A comparison of plats pastured with
those not pastured amounted to ~
bushels per acre. The theory that pas.

sian fly is benefit is thoroughly ex.
ploded. The pupa of the fly is entirely
out of reach of the cattle, being lodged
between the sheaths at the base of the
young stems below the surface of the
ground. Pasturing such fields can only
weaken the plants and leave them al
the mercy of the fiy.-Farmer's Review

Warm Stables In Winter.

AS has often been stated our cattle,
taking the country together, represent
less weight in the spring than they do
at the beginning of winter, and the
cause is found in the fact that they are
not sufficiently housed. But if the cold
weather has such an effect upon ordi-
nary cattle, what must we expect of the
milch COW that is not well sheltered
during the cold weather? The milk
producing machinery of the COW is very
sensitive. 1t will be permanently
affected even by the cold nights of fall.
We say permanently, for when the milk
flow is once decreased by exposure to
cold it can never be restored until the
cow has another calf. See to it that
the stables are fixed for warmth before
the winter comes.-Farmer's Voice.

Kafilr Corn In Knnsas-

The acreage of kafIir corn in Kansas
this year is larger than ever before
The drought of 1894 taught many farm
ers that they must prepare for adverse
seasons, and the fact that Kafiir corr
will stand a dry season when Indian
corn will dry up caused many fields t.
be planted with it. The results hav'
been satisfactory. In some counties o

yield of the Kaffir corn has run us higl

bushels to the acre is considered yer,

hogs as a bushel of the 7 an corn, /
