ANIMALS THAT ACT.
LOclkhart's Elephant comedians
with Ring ling Bros Circus.


S4 And now comes the famous Ring
ling Bros. with the most astounding
trained animal advertisement Of the
century, company Of genuine com.
[edy elephants: herd Of great
pachyderms, presenting vaudeville
specialties and even complete, laugh
able plays with absolute fidelity to
truth and nature, and with an intellis
gence never before exhibited in the
brute creation. In securing the
wonderful Lockhart comedy ele-
plants, Ringing Bros. have indeed
made a master stroke. Elephant
acts 81. an Indifferent kind are more
or less familiar to the people Of the
United States, but, apart from a mo-
mentary interest, they have aroused
neither curiosity nor enthusiasm.
The conventional performances Of
these elaphantine troupes have had
neither the merit Of originality nor
the charm Of novelty indie ID, until
the Lockhart elephants appeared, it
was generally believed that the limit
of what could be taught the elephant
had been reached. The Lockhart
comedy elephants have not only shat
tered all previously conceived ideas
of the possibilities of animal training,
but they are, and will undoubtedly
continue to be for many years, the
most marvellous instance OF the pow
er of man over the brute creation
| that history has any record of. These
wonderful elephants do not go
through their performance with the
perfunctary submissiveness so APP
parent in many trained animals, but
they apply themselves to the task OF
entertaining the vast audiences that
| daily gather under Ringing Bros.
| mammoth pavillions with an intelli:
gence, a sence of the proprieties and
| a keen evidence of humor that is al
once marvellous and delightful. They
work absolutely without urging, seen
to appreciate the Importance of thei1
part of the entertainment and unmis.
| takably evidence their delight when
the audience breaks out into long
continual applause. The repertoire
of the Lockhart elephants embraces
| several laughable comedies, among
which is a convulsing drama in sew
eral intensely funny scenes. There
is the cafe, with two elephants
wrangling over the payment of Their
score; the arrest of the more belliger
ent for drunkenness; his trial before
the magistrate and his final commit
ment to prison. All the actors IL
this amusing comedy are elephants
They are dressed for the character
they assume, and, although not {
word is spoken, the pantomimice &C
tons are 50 comprehensive, that thu
story of the play is apparent to all
In addition to this and other come
dies the Lockhart elephants dane
jigs, go through the. measures of ,
stately minuet, play upon musical in
struments, and perform numberles
other astounding and almost incredi
table feats.+ These marvellous ele
plant actors can be seen only will

will exhibit in Worthington, Wednes

LEARN THE VALUE OF MONEY.

\ silver dollar represents a days work
of the lahorer 1t is given to a boy; he has
no idea of what it has cost or of what it is
worth He would be as likely to give a
dollar as dime for a top or any other toy
But if the boy has learned to earn the
dimes and dollars by the sweat of his brow
he knows the difference. Hard work is to
him a measurer of values that can never be
rubbed out OF his mind Let him learn by
experience that a hundred dollars represents
hundred weary days labor, and it seems
great sum of money, a thousand dollars
is a fortune, and ten thousand is almost in
conceivable for it is far more than he ever
expects to possess. When he has earned a
dollar he thinks twice before he spends it.
He wants to invest it so as to get the full
value of a days work for it. 1t is a great
wrong to society and to boy to bring him
up to mans estate without this knowledge
a fortune at twentyone without it is al
most inevitably thrown away. With it and
little capital to start on he will make his
own fortune better than any one can make
it for him.

Drained land will become warm and
ready for the pillow week or more sooner
than undrained land as drainage is not
intended to flow the water off from the
surface but to allow it to pass downwards
As the water goes down the air follows,
warns the soil and introduces free oxygen
and nitrogen, which assist in etfecting
chemical changes and also permit of the
utilization of free nitrogen by the roots of
certain plants, though the agency OF
bacteria. Although such has not been fully
demonstrated, it is believed to be a fact
Drained land produces larger Yields than
undrained and can provide a much larger
proportion Of plant food to crop.

UTILIZING WATER POWER.

According to present indications, the
waterfalls and rapids in the county will
some day be utilized as a generator of
electricity. The latest achievement in the
way of utilizing power is throwing large
wing dam across the st. Lawrence at the
Lachine Rapids. The dam runs out some
thing more than thousand feet into the
river, and takes in an immense body of
water. The entire length of the dam is to
be occupied by a power house with an I'M
broken interior of at least thousand feet.
A large number of minor streams are being
used for similar purposes. With a good
fall, a force sufficient to run a good-sized
dynamo may easily be secured.

Large farms are not the ones that pay
best. A farm of % acres that produces 60
bushels OF corn per acre will give profit
when farm of 80 acres, producing only
30 bushels per acre, is operated at a loss
yet the total quantity of corn is the same
for both farms. The reason the smaller
farm may pay is that less labor in proper
ton to yield is required. The larger farm
will demand twice as much blowing, cult
waiting and narrowing as the smaller one
and the expense of hauling and spreading
the manure harvesting the crop etc, is
much greater

DO not ridicule or discourage the pro-
fancy farming proclivities. The fact
that he is not satisfied with what he has
demonstrates that he is enterprising and is
all that he does, as he may succeed where
you have failed. Every effort in the way
of experiment should be approved by the
entire community, as without such there
would be no improvement at all

From an exceptionally clean dairy in
New York milk was sent in bottles across

value of cleanliness.

1t is seldom that a farmer en- accumu-
late sufficient amount of good ashes for u
large field, but on farms where wood is
used there is IL limited supply, which can
be put to good use on the garden or ON the
young alover. Ashes are excellent also ON
all grass lands and in OF hards. They are
applied broadcast, in any quantity desired,
as many as 100 bushels per acre having
been used on certain soils

Farmers who sowed crimson clover last
fall will have an excellent fertilizing ma

large number of orchards have never
paid and never will The most common
cause is starvation, for the average farmer
who plants an orchard or buys one goes on

orchard lives at all.

1t is not accidental that oats, the grain
which, next to whole wheat, is best for
furnishing growth to the muscles, should
horses. They are better than wheat for all
animals except man, and as good also for
man, if properly prepared. 1t is the large
proportion of hull which makes oats
superior for horse feed, as the hull distends
the nutriment and prevents it from COM
pacting and heating IN the stomach. Dat
grain not only contains large amount of
heterogeneous nutrment, but it has besides a
certain stimulative substance, which is
peculiar to the oat-American Cultivator.

Haston, Pa. Nov. 12.-The cases Of
ex-Secretary Of state Frank Reeder,
OF this city, and Representative Weiss
and Maurice Luckenbach. of Bethlehem,
against whom charges of conspiracy
to commit bribery and to defame the
character of John Wanamaker were
preferred, we're to have been heard by
the grand jury yesterday, but the abb
sence of w. A. Winsboro, upon whose
affidavit the information against the
defendants was lodged, caused a post
ponement. Apart from this the pro-
ceedings were sensational and ended
in the withdrawal of Lawyer William
C. Shipman, Of the prosecution, from
the case.
The suit is the outcome Of the sena-
torial fight Of last January, when Boies
Penrose and John Wanamaker were
pitted against each other for the honor.
The prosecution, which is sustained by
Fred a Valkenburg, had an imposing
array Of counsel. 1t included, besides
Lawyer Shipman, Judge O. H. Myers,
Charles S. Bergner and Major George
w Merrick, of Tioga county, and
Harry Mackey, of Philadelphia. Gen
eral w. q. Doster, who represented the
commonwealth, was on and in place
of District Attorney James c.. Fox, the
latter being relieved from the case be-
cause Of the social and family relations
existing between him and Mr.. Reeder.
The defense was represented by Con-
gresham w. S. Kirkpatrick, r. c..
Stewart and d. J. Fox.
Lawyer Shipman made an address in
timating that General Doster was act
ing in the interest Of General Reeder,
and had sent the bills of indictment to
the grand jury despite the protests of
other prosecuting counsel. Judge Scott
ordered the case to proceed, n then
Lawyer Shipman withdrew. Then, Mr.,
Winsboro being absent, a court officer
was sent in search Of him and the case
was adjourned until today.

1t is claimed that owing to the refusal of
the County Commissioner to instruct the
various Assessors to make the proper enroll
ment Of scholars in their districts, the county
is in great danger Of losing one-third of the
state appropriation for the year ending June
LIST, 1898. Under the Act of Assembly gov
erning the distribution Of the school funds,
the Commissioner are required to nave the
Assessors make an enrolment Of the total
number of children in their districts, be.
tween the ages of six and sixteen, as one
third of the state appropriation is appor-
toned in accordance with the number of
children Of school age. The Commissioners
claim that one assessment was made in the
spring of this year, and that the require
ments of this law are unnecessary and
would require an expenditure of about S2,
10000. TIT state appropriation for Schuyl-
kill county is S178,4 al .65, a loss of one third
would mean nearly @ 5000. The matter was
brought to the attention Of the School Di-
rectOrs in annual session at Mahanoy City,
and when asked for an opinion State Super
intendent N. G.. Schaeffer stated that it was
necessary that the assessment be made, and
suggested the appointment Of a committee to
invoke the influence Of the people and the
public press to compel the Commissioners to
comply with the law. The following com
mittee WAS applnted; L. @. Wagner, of Gil
rardville; It. r. Edwards, of Shenandoah;
George q. Ditfenderfer, Orwigsburg; W. L.
Perry, Mahanoy City and W. F. scheerer,
Pottsville, to confer with the Commissioner
at an early date.
