A Loud Voiced BIRD.

A story runs that on a certain day
two men, one of them very deaf, were
walking by the railway. Suddenly
an express train rushed by, and as II
passed the engine emitted a shrek that
seemed to rend the very sky.
The hearing mans ears were well
nigh split, but the deaf man struck an
ecstatic attitude. Then, turning to his
suffering friend, he said, with pleas
ed smile:
'That's the first robin I've heard
this spring. City Independ.

A gang of men are at work daily on
the Marsh farm, between Rockville and
Coventry, where they are boring for coal,
which they have reason to believe is to
be found In paying quantities In that sec-
ton. Some years ago an attempt was
made to locate coal In that vicinity, but
after many months Of fruitless effort the
project was abandoned. Men in Rock
vile are furnishing the capital for this
latest venture. A number of men from
the mines In Pennsylvania have arrived
to work on the prospecting. They are
experienced men, and say that from the
borings thus far there Is every reason to
believe that coal Is to be found there

From a recent letter received by @. r,
Mead from Prof. T. ID. A. Cockerell, en-
tomologist of the New Mexico expert
ment station, the following is taken:
"The department of agriculture is
about to make a thorough Investigation
OF the insecticides used all over the
country, but FOR obvious reasons desires
to obtain samples purchased by horti-
c~ulturists, not ostensibly for analysis.
Pound samples are wanted and should
be sent to the department under the in
closed frank, with a statement Of when
and where purchased and the price; also
a statement of all expenses incurred,
which will be reimbursed by the depart
ment.
Can you get some of your friends
about Aztec who have used Paris green
to assist il this matter? You know Paris
green has OF late years been adulterst-
ed, and it lie Of the highest Importance
to have this investigation made as pro-
posed by the department"
All or%chardists having on hand or hav-
ing purchased Paris green for use in
their orchards are requested to cooper
ate in this Investigation Mr.. Mead will
cheerfully sea that samples intrusted to
him will be properly forwarded to the
division of entomology OF the United
States department of agriculture. Par
ties so desiring to cooperate will please
leave or send their samples to THE In
DEx Office or to the drugstore Of Mr..
Villman as early as possible.
