Cutting Quill Pens.

The art of cutting quill by. adept
"quill drivers" was dying out when
first began schooling. Steel pens had
been known for some time, but were
not in general use. The goose quill!
pen died hard death as a commonly
used writing tool. My first schoolmas-
ter was a first rate hand at cutting a
Quill, and he could use it with wonder
full effects in flourishes. 1t was his
boast that he could fill the first page
Of a lads schoolbook with name. age,
date and fourshes-in which were de-
picted wonderful swans and other
birds-in such fashion that none but
experts like himself could tell where
the Quill pen was taken from the pa.
per for fresh dip. My last master
could neither cut quill nor use one
with advantage. Quilts as pens re-
mained in use in some houses as the
only writing tools up to 20 years ago.
Those who can cut decent writing
quill are now few.-Notes and Queries.

A military FUNERAL.
Accorded the Remains of Sergeant A.
j. Honey at Alpena, Mich.

The Daily News of Alpena, Mich,
of recent date contained a long ac-
count of the last sad tributes paid to
Sergeant "A. J. Heney of that city,
who died in Cuba, and whose remains
were recently brought home for burial.
II was one of the most imposing servi-
ces ever held in that city and testified
to the popularity of this hero who
gave his life to his country.
The funeral party formed at the ar
mory at O'Clock, full company being
present, and marched to the Catholic
cemetery, where the service was con-
Quoted according to the military code
Rev. Father Flannery officiating. AZ
ter the services salute was fired and
taps were sounded.
The life of Mr.. Heney is known to
nearly every resident of Alpena. He
left Alpena with his company, April,
27, 1898, and participated in all their
movements, until he was taken i'll.
He died at 6 O'Clock in the morning,
August 8, 1898, at the hospital one
quarter Of mile west of Sibony, his
company at the time being stationed
at Sardernears,y eight miles away.
The remains were buried at Sibony,
and from that time on they were I'M
der the charge of government officials
who were assigned the task of olsen
tering the bodies of soldiers that had
been buried In Cuba, and forwarding
them to their friends in the United
States. The body of the deceased
was received at New York only day
or two before it was sent on to the
last place on earth that he had called
his home. He was Al years old, had
lived in Alpena 25 years, and had
been a member of the volunteer in
fantry q years.
This ends the last chapter in life
that was offered to his country, and
died in it's country's service through
the fortunes of war. The homage
paid him was the homage that is due
soldier who in the fultillment of his
duty was credit to himself and an
honor to his country. The comrades
of Sergeant Heney say he was such a
man.
He was a brother of James G. and
John II. Heney of this city, and Tho
mas IIeney of Boston, and an uncle OF
l.. 2. Heney.

A Tragedy of Mont Blanc.

Tie story of the destruction of the
baths of st. Gervais at the foot OF
Mont Blanc, in 1892, is told in 1.-The
Annals of Mont Blanc" This was one
Of the calamities that could scarcely
have been predicted or averted.
Owing to the stoppage of the sub
glacial drainage, in some way never
ascertained, lake was formed under
the Tete Rouse glacier, in which an
enormous body of water was pent up
at a spot 10000 feet above the sea lev
ell. Between l and o'clock OH the
night of July -, 1892, the ice that had
held the lake gave way.
The water swept in torrent of ire
mendous force over the Desert de
Pierre Rondc, gathering up thousands
of tons of rock and stones in its course.
1t passed with terrific roar under the
hamlet of Bionnassay. which it Sid not
iniure. destroyed half the village of
Bionnay on the highroad between Con
tamincs and st. Gervais and, tearing
up trees as it went along, Joined the
main river of the BonNant.
Following the river Dcu anu destroy
ing on it's way the old Pont du Diable
it hurled it's seething flood of water
timber, stones and mud upon the solid
buildings of the st. Gervais baths and
crushed them into fragments. Then
crossing the ChamoniX road, it spread
| itself out in the form of hideOus far
over the valley of the Arve, destroying
part of the village Of lie Fayet in its
way.
Such was the catastrophe of st. Ger
yais which claimed over $50 victims
Utter ruin was everywhere. The once
lovely gardens Of the baths were five
or six feet deep in mud, fine trees hat
been snapped like reeds and enormous
blocks of stone were strewn over thu
dreary waste.

THE DAWN.

Have you seen the dawn, the Summer dawn,
Swiftly rising from her rosy pillows
When the curtains Of the night are backward
drawn
And crimson glory lights the billows2
Higher and ever higher
In her hands she lifteth up,
Brimming over with ruby fire.
The Day like q golden cup:
And bending by the rivers brink,
The sparkling river,
She givcth little flowers thereof 10 drink,
Who bless the giver.
have seen the dawn, the Summer dawn,
Stepping from her purple cloud pavilion,
Passing softly over dewy mead and lawn,
Garlanded with azure and vermilion.
Higher and ever higher
In her flaming cur she scars,
Borne on waves OF amethyst fire
Over glimmering seas and shores,
And, STOPPING from her chariot red.
Glowing and cleaning,
She smiles and wakens little Curly Head

WILLOW GROVE IMPROVEMENTS.

Work on the improvements at the
Willow Grove Park has advanced
rapidly during the recent fine weather.
Among the new things in amusements
will be an improved "shoot the
chutes
The new boats will hold eight per-
sons, and when they reach the tower
they will be given a send over an aeriel
railway which urgesaround and passes
under itself finally leading back to the
pond where the boat plunges in and is
to be padded to the starting point.
The track is much the shape of a
figure 8. At its highest point it is
about 40 feet from the ground and the
fall is sufficient to keep the boat slid
ing along rapidly. A great deal of
lumber is being used in its eonstruc-
ton and it will cost several thousand
dollars.
At the music stand considerable
difficulty was found in getting foun
dations for the brick piers which are
to support the columns that hold the
big roof trusses. For some pieys it
was necessary to go down from six to
ten feet. The brick piers are capped
with stone few feet above ground
and on top of them stand ornamental
round wooden columns, along the
edges of the pavilion.
The supporting columns in the CEN
tire of the building are of iron and are
to be boxed in with wood. The roof
trusses are Of heavy timber bolted to-
gether. The pavilion extends from
the music stand towards the casino,
nearly to the line Of the large walnut
trees on the brow of the hill, and it ex-
tends ont each side several feet wider
than the front of the music stand.
Along the south side of the pavilion
large trees have been planted to afford
shade from tho afternoon sun.
Where n part of the seats were torn
away from the bicycle track n new
fence is to be erected. The old lumber
was used in the construction of the
addition to the chutes.

One of the most interesting meet
ings of the Teachers Association was
that held at Reading Academy on Sat
urday last. The number present in
dicates also that the value of these
gatherings is being more fully APP
preciated by the teachers of this
vicinity.
The papers read were thoughtful and
trimming with suggestion. Miss AL
paugh's "Modern Educators" showed
her ripe acquaintance with the men of
the period, with which she dealt, pre-
senting clearly and concisely their
educational forms and theories. BY
Miss Muscherts devices, geography
was made to appear easy and delight
full, while Miss McNamara's essay,
'The Child" was deeply thoughtful
and sympathetic. Supt. Hoffman out
did himself by making the school law
as interesting rs novel. Not the least
entertaining portion of the program
were the orchestra's selections and
the songs and Rotations by pupils of
the Academy.
The Association adjourned to meet
at Lambertville May 10, which meeting
will be the last of this school year, I'M
less, rs has been suggested, union
meeting of the three Hunterdon as
sociations be arranged for the month
of June.
