After News Agents.

Orders have been issued for the
strict enforcement hereafter of the
rules governing the agents of the
Union News company who work the
Pennsylvania railroad trains. The
official circular sent out from the
Pittsburg offices states that the news
agents are becoming a nuisance and
many complaints have been filed
against them by patrons of the roads.
They are not generally clean or
polite; they frequently importune
passengers, leave their books and
periodicals on seats and window sills
and between the Stats of windows,
and sell fruits and nuts, etc, while
the rules explicitly state that they are
to be allowed to sell only books, pa
pers and periodicals, and cigars and
tobacco on smoking cars alone.
Conductors are ordered to put every
agent who transgresses the rules here,
after off the train at the first stopping
point.

What to Garry on Bicycle when Touring

There is a well known system for
carrying baggage on a walking tour
which is eminently suited to bicyclists;
this is to have two pieces of baggage.
The first is large valise or small
trunk, containing clothing of all kinds
needed for an ordinary two weeks
trip by rail, besides toilet articles, and
so on. The materials for the other is
composed of a similar set of toilet
articles, and one or at most two sets
of underclothing, besides an extra pair
of shoes or slippers-moccasins pack
easily and are very servicable. This
last is packed in leather case set in
to the diamond frame of the wheel, or
into knapsack carried on the shoul-
ders. If the diamond-shaped port
manteau is properly made it is better.
Luggage seems lighter on the wheel
than on your back.
The trouble with the average port
manteau is that it is too thick, making
it necessary for the wheelman to strad-
die it instead of giving him the free
use of his limbs to press up and down
on the pedals perpendicularly. If
you will take the trouble to have this
portmanteau made to order and care
fully measured, SO that it will not
come outside line drawn on either
side Of the bicycle from the sides OF
saddle to the inside of each pedal
when at its lowest point in a revolu-
ton, you will find no trouble with it.
This, however, necessitates its being
narrower at the top than at the bottom

Fundamentals In Government.

The arraignment of the politicians
for their usurpation Of the rights of
the people under "Live Questions" in
this issue is made in clear and vigor-
GUS English. 1t is undoubtedly true
that the people are rulers in theory
more than in practice. Mr.. Pierce
makes strong case and promises at
least partial remedy through these
columns in a second article. These
discussions are bringing first principles
to the fore. The individual franchise
involves a great responsibility. The
voter needs knowledge of public
affairs little less than his statesmen if
he is to select them. The spoliation
of the many under the forms of Of
ficialism will continue until he realizes
that the only true object of government
is the good of those who are governed
and not of those who govern. The
spolls system perverts the purposes of
government, and SO long as it contin-
ues elections will merely signify that
voters transfer the offices from one set
OF rulers to another. A pure spring
cannot proceed from an impure source,
and popular government will be
failure until the majority demand the
election of representatives who realize
that public position is a sacred trust.
With men of honor and character as
servants of the people we must infer
that the real rulers are actuated by
the same high qualities" like priest,
like people" Legislation will then
be more limited, for character is su-
perlor to statutes. These words Of
the sage of Concord will then possess
the deepest significance; "The ap-
pearance of character makes the state
unnecessary. The wise man is the
state. He needs no army or navy
he loves men too well-no bribe or
feast or palace to draw him, no want
age ground, no favorable Circumstance
es, no statute book, for he has the
lawglver; no money, for he is value"
The relations between the people
and the politicians are those of barbar-
ians, for character is in its infancy
and we are "only at the cock Growing
and the morning star" as compared to
the meridian splendor that Emerson
announces.

of the Wheelwoman, met DR.. Mary
Walker accidentally in a railway sta

Try Of an introduction, the doctor said,
Il hope you tell your audiences how
to dress properly for the wheel" Be-
ing assured that this was the case,
she wanted to know just what was
recommended, at the same time look
ing with great satisfaction at her own
costume. The doctors manner was
such as to tempt Mrs. Hopkins into
saying that she did not advocate the
wearing OF mems clothes.
"Oh, these are not mems Clothes"
said the doctor. They are my own
made by one of the best Washington
tailors" Mrs. Hopkins took her train,
which arrived just at that moment,
and the doctor was left to enjoy her
tailor made garments.-New York

Saving the Colors.

From time immemorial the armies
Of every warlike people have set the
highest value upon the standards they
bore 10 battle. To guard ones own
flag against capture is the pride, to
capture the flag of ones enemy the
ambition, of every valiant soldier In
consequence, in every war between
peoples of good military record, feats
of daring performed by color bearers
are honorably common. The civil war
was full of such incidents. Out Of
the very many, two or three stand as
especially noteworthy.
One occurred at Fredericksburg on
the day when half the brigades of
Meagher and Caldwell lay on the
bloody slope leading up to the Con-
federate intrenchments. Among the
assaulting regiments was the Fifth
New Hampshire, and it lost 1856 out
of 500 men who made the charge. The
survivors fell back sullenly behind a
fence, within easy range of the Con-
federate rifle pits. Just before reach
ing it the last of the color guard was
shot and the flag fell in the open.
A Capt. Purdy instantly ran out %
capture 1t, and as he reached it was
shot through the heart another cap
tain, Murray, made the same attempt
and was also killed, and so was third,
Moore. Several private soldiers met a
like fate. They were all killed close
to the flag, and their dead bodies fell
across one another Taking advantage
of this breatworks, Lieut. Nettleton
crawleu from behind the fence to the
colors, and bore back the blood-won
trophy. Harper Round Table.

A Suit for Damages.

Dr. M. Salm, a specialist whose
headquarters are in Columbus, Ohio,
who spends one day in every month
in this place. brought suit against the
Pennsylvania railroad company at
Bellefonte, to recover for the non
delivery of his trunks. The suit was
brought before squire Keichline and
the doctor thought he had suffered to
the extent of $2a5. The case was
held for court.
DR.. Salm makes monthly visits to
each place, having his dates advertised
two weeks in advance. All his ap-
pliances being carried in his trunks of
course when they did not arrive with
him his patients were required to leave
without treatment.

Lease of Farm.

If tenant is on farm he must act
according to the terms of the lease
even If it is merely verbal. 1t is q
matter of proof what the terms were
at the time possession was given. II
is much better for both parties to make
a written agreement even after some
months have expired. Otherwise the
tenant is liable to be ousted by the
owner at short notice, and on the otheI
hand the owner is apt to have trouble
in proving what were the terms of the
verbal agreement in case either party
wishes to avoid his bargain.

IN THE COAL MINES.
Life OF the Ambitious Little Slate Picker
In the Anthracite Breaker.

In a little room sat the slate
pickers. The floor slanted at an
angle of As degrees, and the coal hav-
ing been masticated by the great
teeth was streaming sluggishly in long
iron troughs. The boys sat straddling
these troughs, and as the mass moved
slowly, they grabbed deity at the
pieces of slate therein. There were
five or six of them, one above the
other, over each trough. The coal
is expected to be fairly pure after it
passes the final boy. The bowling
machinery was above them. High
up, dim figures moved about in the
dust clouds.
These little men were terrihcally
dirty band. They resembled the
New York gamins in some ways, but
they laughed more, and when they
laughed their faces were a wonder
and terror. They had an air of
supreme independence and seemed
proud of their kind of villany. They
swore long oaths with skill.
Through their ragged shirts we
could get occasional glimpses of
shoulders, black as stoves. They
looked precisely like imps as they
scramble to get view Of us. Work
ceased while they tried to ascertain if
we were willing to give away any
tobacco. The man who perhaps be-
lieves that he controls them came and
harangued the crowd. He talked to
the air.
The slate-pickers all through this
region are yet at the spanking period.
One continually wonders about their
mothers and if there are any school
houses. But as for them, they are
not concerned. When they get time
off they go out on the culm heap and
play base ball or fight with boys from
other "breakers or among them
selves, according to the opportunities.
And before them always is the hope
of one day getting to be door boys
down in the mines and, later, mule
boys. And yet later, laborers and
helpers. Finally, when they have
grown to be great big men they may
become miners, real miners, and go
down and get "squeezed," or per-
haps escape to a shattered old mans
estate with mere "miner's asthma" {"
They are very ambitious.
Meanwhile they live in a place of
internal dins. The clash and thunder
of the machinery is like the roar of an
immense cataract. The room shrieks
and blares and bellows. Clouds Of
dust blur the air until the windows
shine pallidly afar off. All the struc-
ture is a-tremble from the heavy
sweep and circle OF the ponderous
mechanism. Down IN the midst Of
it sit these tiny urchins, where they
can earn S. cents each day. They
breathe this atmosphere until their
lungs grow heavy and sick with it.
They have this clamor in their ears
until it is wonderful that they have
any hoodlum-valor remaining. But
they are uncowed they continue to
swagger. AT the top of the breaker"
laborers can always be seen dumping
the roaring coal down the wide
vivacious NAV of the creature.

Notes from the Pennsylvania Experiment
Station.
BUCKWHEAT MIDDLINGS.

There are many by-products and
waste materials put upon the market
by manufacturers and mills at a price
so low that some of them can always
be fed to good advantage in connec-
tion with the grains usually produced
upon the farm. The grain ration of
the Station herd is very largely COM
posed of such by-products, the cost
per pound of digestible matter deter
mining the selection in every case.
In feeding these cheap foods, close
observations have been made as to
their productiveness, palatability, and
effect upon the COW, as shown by the
condition of the bowels, the coat and
the general appearance.
One of the cheapest of the by-pro-
ducts upon the market at the present
time is buckwheat middlings. When
fed to cattle, it has a slight costive
tendency which is easily overcome by
feeding it in connection with corn-and-
cob meal and new process oil-meal,
the following proportions by weight
being suitable:
3 parts buckwheat mddlings,
2i parts corn -and.cob meal,
- parts new process oil-meal.
This mixture has been used for the
Station herd for the past three months
with entirely satisfactory results. Eight
pounds per day per COW is the average
grain ration, corn fodder being used
for coarse fodder, and on this ration
the herd is averaging at the present
time about twenty pounds of milk and
Ia pounds of butter per COW per day.
If ensilage is fed once a day, the oil
meal may be omitted with good results.
Buckwheat middlings is palatable, and
when fed IN the above ration, no i'll
effect has been observed on the health
Of the COWS or of the calves born
while the ration was being fed. Not
only the amount of milk and butter
produced upon this ration, but also
Its quality, is very satisfactory.
The cost of buckwheat middlings is
from PA 10 Sl5 per ton, and taxing
into consideration the large amount
protein which it contains and its high
per cent. of digestibility, it is one of
the cheapest concentrated foods at
our command.
Perhaps the by-product which is
used most universally among dairymen
is wheat bran, many thinking it nee
essary for the best results. On ac-
count of its low percentage of digesti-
BILE matter and relatively high price,
it cannot claim much attention from
the economical feeder of to-day. The
Station herd, as above noted, has been
fed ration containing no bran for
over three months with satisfactory
results, its place being taken very
largely by buckwheat middlings.
