A PATRIOTIC BARBER.

Several days ago stranger walked
into barber shop on Third street.
He was well-dressed, but needed a
shave very badly. After taking off his
collar and necktie he climbed into
the vacant chair and one of the pro-
prietors, who BY the way is a promi-
nent member of the S. of ", started
to shave him, but the beard was so
tough and wirey that it required an
extra amount of lather to soften the
beard so that it would shave easy.
During the administering OF the lather
the stranger talked very freely con-
cernirg the existing difficulties be-
tween the United States and Spain.
The barber said nothing at first, but
by the time he was ready to start to
shave him, the stranger became very
excited and commenced to tear up
America and the American people IN
general. This so angered the barber
that he quietly opened the door and
then walked back to the chair and
took the towel from around the
strangers neck and ordered him out
in double quick time without even
washing the lather off his face. The
stranger vigorously protested, but the
barber was firm, and when last seen
the stranger was vending his way to-
ward the Clement House with his face
covered with lather and all his whis-
kers. The barber was nothing if not
patriotic and loyal to the "Stars and
Stripes" and the stranger didn't get
shaved at that shop.-DanviNe Intel
Hgeneer.

MT. GRETNA.

The camp ground at Mt. Gretna is
one of the garden spots of the State.
1t lies in a valley about five miles
south west of Lebanon, and furnishes
every variety of surface for the prac-
tice evolutions of the troops. There
is an abundance of wood and OF pure
water. The last time the entire divl-
sion gathered there was in 1890,
when President Harrison, Major Gen
eral Schoheld, Governor Beaver and
other distinguished men inspected the
troops and passed their approval on
the camping grounds one of the finest
that could be selected anywhere.
The valley in which the troops as
sembled is about two miles long and
half mile in breadth, the green
slopes of the South Mountain rising
upon both sides, and spurs cutting off
each end. In the centre is a slightly
rolling parade ground, with a broad
expanse of green turf, upon which the
evolutions of the troops can be con-
Quoted. Nothing more picturesque
can be imagined than the sight pre-
sented when the thousands of white
tents of the Guard stretch over the
green surface running into the. woods
on either side of the valley. Division
headquarters will be located on a
commanding eminence, just west of
the centre of the valley, where they
were situated in 1890. and from
whence nearly every corner of the
camp is under the eye of the COM
manding officers. This point is about
mile from the Mt. Gretna station,
on the Cornwall and Lebanon Rail
road, but the road skirts the north
side of the valley throughout its en-
tire length, and guns and supplies can
be transported almost into the centre
of the camp. There is a railway tele-
graph Office at Mt. Gretna station,
where wires can be run directly to
division headquarter and daily pos.
tai service covering every brigade is
one of the first things established
after the company streets have been
laid out and the tents erected.
The fanks OF the mountain on the
south side of the valley afford a
splendid field from which the various
signal corps of the division can do
practice work, both with the flag and
heliograph by day, and the torch by
night.

The True and the False.
The Grand Old Commonwealth Motto is a
Misnomer.

Pennsylvania's state motto is, "Vir-
tue, Liberty and independence" 1t
IS hardly necessary to add that it is
ideal rather than real. With the
exception of few years, the people
of this commonwealth have not been
permitted to enjoy the condition EN-
bodied in the motto for more than a
century. Instead OF virtue, there has
been the most scandalous corruption;
instead of liberty, there has been the
most autocratic bossism and instead
of independence, there has been the
most subservient political slavery.
Either the honest citizens should rise
up and demand an exemplIfcation of
the motto in state affairs, or have the
legend changed to accord with the
disgraceful conditions that are known
to prevail Westm0yeland Democrat.

$5,ooo,ooo. This bit of information
was the sensational feature of state

receiver of the Chestnut Street Ma

of the famous bank plan. Until now

that the dead publishers liabilities
were at least a million dollars less.
Before his death Mr.. Singerly was
considered a wealthy man but the

How the State Aims to Aid the Farmer.
Work Of the Economic Zoologst.

DIR. II. T. Fernald, who has recent
ly been appointed Economic Zoolo-
gist to the Department of Agriculture
of Pennsylvania, describes his duties
as being the investigation of all kinds
of animals which are injurious or
beneficial to field and garden crops,
fruit, stock and other agricultural in
terests of the State. That this is an
important work is shown by the esti-
mates prepared by competent persons
at different times and in various parts
of the United States. These estimates
agree in placing the annual loss, Cue
to the attacks of insects and other
enemies of the farmer and fruit grow
er, at one-tenth of his entire crop. In
other words, the farmer, in an ordl-
nary year, pays direct tax to Nature
of one-tenth of all he produces, while
in seasons when the pests are unusual
ly abundant the loss may be as much
as one quarter.
If we apply these facts to a few,
only, of the crops of Pennsylvania we
find that the estimated value of the
Wheat, Oats, Barley, Hay, Corn,
Potatoes and Tobacco produced in
the State during 1896 was $So,74o :
oSo, while If losses by insect and other
similar causes had been prevented, it
would have been nearly $780, 900,
showing that on these crops alone,
the loss to the State each year is near
ly $1o,ooo,co
This is large sum and it would
seem impossible, if it were not that it
has always occurred, and year with
out it has never been known.
1t is only when the loss IS greater
than usual, that the damage is felt,
and remedies are sought. Yet more
than half of this destruction could be
prevented if a knowledge of how to
protect crops from their foes were
general.
1t is to this line of work that the
Zoologist intends to direct his efforts,
offering to all who are interested, in.
formation how best TO prevent these
losses, or to check the foe when it has
already appeared.
In order to do this, and accomplish
the most far-reaching results he desires
anyone who finds his crops of any
kind affected by any insect or other
animal, to write him, sending samples
of the injuries, and if possible, of the
animal which causes the trouble. All
such letters will be promptly answer
ed with suggestions of the best ways
to prevent further damage, and if the
trouble be serious personal examina-
ton will be made. All such letters
should be sent to the State Zoologist,
Department of Agriculture, at Harris
burg.
Bulletins describing injurious in
sects and other animals, the work
they do, and how to treat them will
also be published, both in the news
papers and as pamphlets for distribr-
tlon. 1t is hoped in this way to in
duce the people of the State to use
the opportunities which have been
prepared for them by the Legislature
in this line, and in the end, save many
millions of dollars each year.
