A Quaint old Bit of Germany.

The Sproewald is the subject of a paper
IN The Century by Charles de Kay, consul
general to Berlin. Mr.. de Kay says:
Strange indeed that so near Berlin so old
time and curious a community could have
remained reasonably uncontaminated by
the hordos of picnicllers The Sprcewald is
too near a great capital for foreigners to
hear much of it. The museums and pal
aces of Berlin, the palaces of Potsdam, alb
sorb all the spare energy of foreign visit
ors. And for convenient outfights it is q
little too far for most burghers Of Berlin.
Some have country places in and near the
Spreewald, Many visit it occasionally. 1t
is a favorite place for people from Dresden
and Leipsic who can give several days to
exploring its watery labyrinths Especially
for the teaching guild is it a favorite re-
sort. Every village has its inns, and at
Burg, where Vendish services are held in
the old church, and the costume remains
the most antique there are several famous
tayerns One is the Bleachery, where Fred
erick the Great established a colony Of dy-
ers and weayers, who have all disappeared,
although the art is still practiced by pri-
vate means for personal use in many farm
houses. But the fine green, orange, pink
and lilac headdresses-the wodzewanski
rubishko-and the turquoise gray and yell
low skirts are now bought at Cottbus or
In Berlin.

The bureau Of mines bill was presented in
the House, at Harrisburg, by Mr. Mansfield
on January %. Itproyides that the bureau
shall be established in the Department Of In
terual Affairs and is to have supervision
of the execution of the mining laws and
the publication of the mine inspectors an
nual reports. The Chief of the Bureau
shall be appointed by the Governor upcu
the recommendation of the Secretary of
Internal Affairs for four years He will
receive q salary of $1,000 and must be q
competent mining engineer of at least ten
years experience. The chief must devote
all his time to the duties of the Office and
see that the mining laws are faithfully
executed and is invested with the same
power and authority as the mine inspectors
to enter and inspect any mine in the state
and the machinery and works thereof,
Should he receive information by petition
signed by ten or more miners of neglect of
duty or incompetence of any mine inspector
he shall investigate and shall place the mat
ter before court for further investigation if
he is satisfied that the charges are based on
good grounds. The Secretary Of Internal
Affairs is empowered to appoint an assistant
chief at a salary of 81 500 per annum and a
stenogmpher and typewriter at a salary Of
81 200. This measure is different from the
Coylo bill, in that it creates less offices and
has the approval of the Governor and mine
inspectors

Along the north Jersey coast from Long
Branch 90 Asbury Park the coast is formed
Of bluffs and high ground, and walls that
viii offer direct resistance to- the waves
must be constructed TO rrotac, tham from
the waves. These lluaa uFg being washed
away rapidly where not protected by some
artificial device, and the sand ia carried
back into the sea, whCro sand bars are
formed with it, Many years ago when the
Jersey seaside resorts first became prOmi-
nenb efforts Werc mGdc to protect this
shore with heavy timber bullshcIds. But
each recurring winter these massive tim
bers were washed away and a good slice
of the bluffs was layClld. No mIttar how
heavy and strong this sort OF protection is
made, the sea is pretty sure to batter &c
down i'm time, and the work must bo re-
pcated. For o years now property owners
have wasted theirmoney i'm building make
shift timber walls to protect their land
from tho ocean along many parts of our
coast. Tho samo amount of money put in
strong walls of masonry and concrete would
yield permunout results that would endure
for half a century, and i'm timo this must
be the outcome of the present UbOr5iye at
tempts to keep back the sea.
Besides wooden walls numerous jCttiCs
run Out into the ocean TO break the force
of the current, and in this way the damage
to the bluffs is somewhat lcsscnod. Nearly
every storm Of any great fury not only car
ries away on demolishes part of tho walls,
but makes great inroads into the bluffs OF
sand behind them. A solid stone wall
with sloping faces to the sea- would pro-
tect the bluffs so that private and public
property would be secure for all time Tho
best Illustrations Of this principle Of coast
defense can ho seen I'm the numerous stone
breakwaters constructed by tho govern
ment for harbor protection .-Lippincott's

A Playmate who Saved Him From Denth
by Drowning.


The child's life during the time tho
family lived in kentucky appears 20 have
been entirely uneyentful He helped his
mother after he was years old i'm the
simple household duties, went TO the dis
trict school and played with the children
of the ncinhbarhood The only one Of
young Lincoln's ploymates now living is
an old man. nearly 100 years old, named
Austin Gollnhcr, whose mind is bright
and clear, and who never tires of telling
of the days Lincoln and ne were little
tikes and played together" This old man,
who yet lives in the log house in which he
has always lived fow miles from the old
Lincoln place, tells entertaining stories
about the Presidents boyhood.
Mr. Golaher says that they were toFoth-
er moro than the other boys in school that
ne became fond of his little friend and he
believed that Abe thought great deal of
him
In speaking Of various events of minor
Importance in their boyhood days Mr.. Col
laher remarked, 81 once saved Lincoln's IS
life F" Upon being urged to tell of the oc-
curronce he thus related it.: owe had been
going to school together one year, but the
next year we had no school because there
were so few scholars to attend, there be-
ing only about 20 in the school the year be-
fore. Consequently Abe and / had not
much to do, but as we did not go to school
and our mothers were strict with us we
did not get TO sec each other very often
One Sunday morning my mother walked
me mp carly saying she was going to see
Mrs. Lincoln, and that ] could go along
Glad of the chance, I was soon dressed and
ready to go. After my mother and got
there Abe ard ] played all through the
dny. While we were wandering up and
down the little stream called Knob creek
Abe said Right up there, pointing to
the east, we saw coyey Of partridges yes
terday Let's go over and get some of
them. The stream was swollen and was
too wide for us TO jump across Finally
we saw narrow footlog, and we con
cluded to try it. It was narrow, but Abe
said, Let's coon it.
IT went first and reached the other side
all right Abowent about half way across,
when he got scared and began trembling.
/ hollered to him, Don't look down nor
up, nor Sideways but look right at me
and hold on tight But he fell off into the
creek, and as the water was about seven or
eight feet deep, and 1 could not swim, and
neither could Abe, knew 1t would do no
good for me to goin after him. So got a
stick--a long water sprout--and held it out
to him. He came up, grabbing with both
hands, and put the stick into his hands
He clung to it, and 1 pulled him out on
the bank, almost dead. 1 got him by the
arms and shook him well and then rolled
him on the ground, when the water pour
cd out of his mouth. Hewas all right worry
soon We promised each other that we
would never tell anybody about it, and
never did for years. I never told any one
of it until after Lincoln was killed. H.

How to rreaa n LYnunh

Three useful things to have in a
farmers house as a provision in case of
wounds not sufficiently serious to ueoes-
state the calling in Of the medical at
tondant are a spool of adhesive plaster
some iodoform gauze and a package of
carbolated absorbent cotton. Cleanse and
dry as nearly as may be the cut surface
with a wad of the cotton, using moder-
ate pressure and elevating the part if
necessary to check the flow of blood. Do
not apply any water Bring the cut sur
face together as accurate as possible and
retain them there with as few and as
narrow strips Of the plaster as will suf-
flee, cutting them of a good length
Then cover the wound with a dozen OF
so thicknesses Of the iOdoform gauze,
which should extend an inch beyond the
wound. Over the gauze apply a liberal
layer of the absorbent cotton, allowing
it to extend beyond the gauze The cot
ton may be kept in place by bandage
OF cheesecloth, or a part of a leg Of a
stoshng may be drawn over it. Moder-
ate pressure, if evenly distributed, is
helpful The pressure of a string is hurt
full. Keep the part moderately elevated
and take care that there is no constrio-
tion Of the limb above the wound by a
garter Exchange.

Mr. Andrews served in the Nineteenth
Army Corps during the War Of the Rebellion
and is a mcmber of Sergeant Peiler Post
33l, G.. A. r. Department Of Pennsylvania
and his appointment has naturally been
gratefully received by the veterans who
supported Mr. penrose
Ii is, however, in tho work Of the Repub-
licau organization Of Pennsylvania that Mr..
Andrews is hest known. He has never been
an applicant for nor held salaried political
office of any kind. He was one of the
strongest supporters of Senator Quay in the
celebrated Craftsmanship struggle of 1895,
and at the close of that contest was offered
and accepted the position Of secretary Of the
Republican State Committee. He was re-
appointed by Senator Quay last year and
holds the same position at present under
Chairman EllSin. In the last campaign he
was recognized as one of the most valuable
aids Of the organization.
Nowhere in the state has Mr.. Andrews a
stronger hold upon the party voters than in
Schuylkill county, and tho HERALD joins
them in congratulatng Senator Peurose
upon his choice of such an efficient and pop
ular confidential assistant.
