FOR LITTLE FOLKS.


The young horse. kind and prankish,

A Good snake Story.

The latest authentic snake story Is
from North Glenwood Farm, near
Easton, one of the country places in
Talbot county, Md. The other day
big black snake was seen emerging
from an ice pond. 1t was killed. A
protuberance was noticed about the
middle. The snake was chopped in
two, and a porcelain turkey nest egg
rolled out. Captain Noble Robinson
was tenant on the farm last year. Mrs.
Robinson raised turkeys, using china
eggs in their nests. She says that IA
months ago she missed the nest egg
from nest near the ice pond She
supposed boy who had the range of
the meadow had taken it. When the
egg from the snake was shown to Mrs.
Robinson, she identified it as one she
had lost by certain incised mark
upon it. The snake had carried the
china egg II months in his vermiform
appendix, apparently without appendi-
citis. But he must have thought very
hard of it and that it was very singular
that it could not be digested.

The yakamik, a species of crane, is
said to be one of the most intelligent
birds known. The bird is used by the
natives of Venezuela, South America,
In the place of shepherd dogs for guard

that to them is due the prosperity of

passed in 1885 school gardens increase

!: GOOD ROADS NOTES. (.
New York;. Road Material.


The State of New York enjoys one
structing improved roads in the fact
that it contains, within its own limits
and pretty well distributed through
out its area, an ample supply OF first
rate raw material. There are doubt
less other States as fully blest in this
respect, and there are certainly many
others not thus blest. On the whole,
it is doubtful if any other State with
SO great proportionate extent of
level and arabic land has so abundant
and well distributed supply of road
making material.
There are few counties in the State
in which quarries of good road stone
are not now in operation. and there
are still fewer in which such quarries
might not profitably be opened. On
quarry, strictly speaking, but there
are numerous deposits of gravel and
bowlders, which may be utilized for
roadmaking with admirable results.
The Hudson River region is thickly
dotted with Quarries OF limestone,
granite and trap. In the Catskill and
Shawangunk mountains and along the
Delaware and Susquehanna rivers and
their tributaries bluestone is plentiful,
with liberal admiXture of sandstone
and limestone. Along the Mohawk
Valley and the line of the Erie Canal,
clear to Lake Erie, sandstone and
limestone abound, as they do north
ward, on Lake Ontario and the St
Lawrence River. In the lake region
and the Southern Tier sandstone is
the chief material, with here and
there an outcropping of bluestone.
We are not sure that there is more
than one county in the State outside
of Long Island in which there is not
a quarry of one OF these kinds OF
stone in operation. And wherever
such quarry exists nothing is needed
but stone crusher to enable the out
putting of first rate material for i'm
proved roads.
The value of these different stones
for roadmaking varies, Of course, but
they are all good. Trap and granite
are, no doubt, the best, the former
because OF its unrivaled binding or
self-cementing qualities, and the lat
ter because of its hardness and dura-
bility Limestone has fine binding
properties, but is too soft to with
stand heavy traffic. Bluestone and
other varieties OF sandstone are not
particularly hard, and have almost
no binding qualities. 1t is evident,
however, that these less desirable
stones may profitably be combined
with other kinds, and that thus road
may be made which will be better
than any of any single kind of stone;
while of course the poorest of them,
used alone, will make an incompara-
bly, better road than mere clay and
loam.-New York Tribune.

ELECTRICITY IN CHURCHES.
The Most Modern Appliances Brought
Into Use in These Edifices.
ElectricitH is nnt to rarions uses il

Electricity is put to various uses in
| churches; in no other buildings in
fact 1t is more commonly employed.
In this city all new churches are pro-
vided with electrical equipment; and
many old churches, also, have been
similarly equipped. The same is
towns in which there are to be found
electric plants. Some churches have
complete plants of their own on the
premises, but the greater number tax .
the current from the street main.
Besides its use for lighting pur-
poses electricity is commonly EN-
ployed in churches for running =
motor to operate the organ bellows.
This motor can be set in motion. or
stopped, by the organist as he sits in
his place at the keyboard, simply by
the turning of switch; and, in opera
ton, it accommodates itself to the
demands upon it, running slower
when the bellows is full, and faster
again, as it is emptied.
In the newer churches-and such
appliances have also been put into
older churches-the organ itself is
provided with electrical appliances by
means OF which the valves OF the or
gan pipes arc opened. Formerly this
was done by means oil mechanical ap-
pliances that were operated by the
pressing down of the key. Now, each
key is connected by wire with the
valve OF the pipe to which it belongs,
and when key is pressed down its
wire is brought into contact with
supply wire running along under the
keyboard, the circuit is closed, anil
by means of the power thus trans
mitted along the wire from the key
the valve is opened. 1t is, of course,
Kept open until the contact is broken
by the release of the key. Organs
set up in separate sections in church
are connected by wire in the same
manner and readily played from the
same keyboard; and the new organs,
however situated in a church, are now
likely to be provided with electrical
keyboards.
Church chimes are now played by
electricity from a keyboard like that
of a piano or organ, at which the
PLAYER sits with the music before him.
Chime playing as formerly done. by
the pressing down Of levers. to which
cords running to the bells We're at
tached, called for very considerable
exertion ON the part of the player;
now the heaviest as well as the light
est bell is rung by simply pressing l
key.-New York Sun.

wagner. idea of America.

Although Wagner never was in this
country, the possibility of his coming
over here is referred to often in his
published correspondence. In fact,
he made America stand-and-deliver
argument with his friends, several
tunes threatening to forever put aside
his Ring of the Nibelung" and to
cross the ocean to earn a competency
unless they contributed to his sup
port.
That Wagner regarded America as
a gold mine well worth exploitation by
foreign artists appears from letter
which in 1s4S he wrote to Franz
Loebmann, music director at Riga,
whose brother wanted financial assist
ance to go to America with an orches-
ira. Wagner advised Loebmann to
assist his brother. He instances the
case of German musician who went
to America as a poor man and in n
very short time was in receipt of an
excellent income; adding that whole
orchestra would certainly be still
more lucky, for ''in country where
villages are constantly growing into
cities in five years there can be no
lack of opportunities for the settle
ment of whole bands of musicians"
Could anything be more deliciously
naive than this last quotation?-
