The Stones burned.

In 1701 Philip Ginler, the discoverer
of coal at Summit Hill, near Mauch
Chunk, lived in rough cabin in the
forests on the Mauch Chunk mountain.
While in quest of game for his family,
whom he had left at home without
food of any kind, his foot struck a
black stone. By the roadside not far
from the town of Summit Hill he built
fire of wood and threw pieces of the
supposed stone about 1t so that the en-
bers might last longer while he was
roasting a fowl. He was surprised
after a little while to see the stones
glow and retain their heat for long
time. He carried lot of the coal home
and burned it there. The few neigh
Dors soon learned of the discovery, but
there was no mining to any extent in
Carbon county until after the war of
1872 had begun.

To start palm seeds is an easy mat
ter. Place half dozen seeds in a six
inch pot covering them so they will be
about two inches below the surface.
They should then be well watered. and
the soil should be kept fairly moist con-
tinually until the little seedlings push
their way up. The soil should never be
allowed to dry out, nor should it be
kept soggy. Another good plan is to
place all the seeds in box of moist
sand and examine them every few
days. Those that burst and begin to
sprout may be planted in fat boxes two
or three inches apart In a good, rich,
sandy soil, or they may be potted If
well started in small pots.
1t should be borne in mind that the
embryo, or seed, leaves of palms are
usually entirely different in form from
the true, or character, leaves which
come later. In the embryo leaves the
form is long and narrow, swordlike and
usually with no divisions. Robert r.

An Old Custom.

Why Is 1t the duty of the bride to cut
the wedding cake? The fact is-at
least SO a professor told me the other
day-that the Romans are at the bot
tom of it. The original Roman mar
rage was effected by the simple proc
ess of the bride and bridegroom break
ing cake of bread and eating it to-
gcther. This developed into the bride
cake, and the bride cut it because it
was the duty of the woman to prepare
food for the man. Young brides of to-
day who think 1t the height of i'll luck
not to cut their own wedding cake are
probably not in the least aware of
what they are symbolically pledging
themselves to. but they had better bear
In mind that If they wish to keep a
man in good temper they must not
forget to feed him.

Why Did They Missf

Hunters tales rarely make mention
of poor shots and failures, and a story
which depicts the remarkable Ill sue
cess of some famous shots in Califor-
mia a few years ago is therefore all the
more interesting. The narrator, Mr.
Frank Marryat, terms the incident the
one marvellous tale in his book, "Moun-
tains and Molehills." In former times
it would have passed for miracle.
Three of us were out at midday in
search of venison in the Santa Rosa
valley. The sky was cloudless and the
sun blazing bot. Making for shady
thicket, we Unexpectedly started a doe
in the long grass. She was out of
range before we could raise a gun, but
there still remained fawn. The pret-
ty innocent stood perfectly still, gazing
at us. Our larder was bare, and we
could not afford to be merciful.
The fawn stood motionless as l ad-
vanced a few PAGES and took, as fan
cied, deadly aim. | missed, and still it
did not move. The others fired end
missed also.
From the same distance. about IS
yards, we fired each four bullets with
out success. Still the fawn moved but
a pace or two, and our rifle ammunition
was exhausted
then crept up to the fawn and with
in 20 PAGES fired twice at it with my
pistol. Then unharmed, it quietly
walked away in search of it's mother.
We looked at each other in surprise.
Fourteen shots within 10 PAGES of

were instructed to fire with the flash IN
case it revealed Indians about.
At last, when we were all in trem-
Bile with anxiety, the flash came. For a
few seconds it was as if great search
light had fallen upon the desert. 1t
was so binding that every eye was
closed for a second. When opened,
they beheld band of 20 Apaches on
hands and knees within % feet of the
tents. A volley was fired straight into
their faces and a second as another
flash showed few in retreat, and
then we lay there in the pouring rain
till daylight came. There had been in
the band, as near as we could figure it,
81 Indians. We had fired without aim,
and the destruction wrought was due
to luck or accident, but there were 16
redskins lying dead on the sands
around the camp. Among these were a
full chief, subchief and five or six
noted warriors. Our volleys had ac-
complished more than years cam
paigning with 600 soldiers. Indeed
they brought peace for two years. Said
one of the survivors to me afterwards
I'VE had planned to kill the entire
lot of you. We heard the notes of the
death bird and knew you would hear
them also, but we didn't believe you
would understand the warning. Had
you not understood and moved away
not man of you would have escaped"
For many days subsequently-aye
for many months and years-as l was
posted along the desert or journeyed
across it looked for the death bird at
morning, noon and night, but I never
got sight of him. His mission was to
fly only at night and to tell of peril.

She may will to tease and try me,
She may choose to run and fly me,
She may give me stint Of praise
And be seldom nigh me;
But, beside it-ah, she knows

The festival given under the aus
pices of the Friendship Fire Com
pany in the Town Hall Friday and
Saturday evening was probably the
most successful affair of its kind
ever held in this town. On Friday
evening the delicacies offered for
sale, were nearly all donated, so
that the money taken in was clear
profit. But the crowd on Saturday
evening capped the climax. The
band discoursed music on the out
side, while people by the hundred
swarmed about the sidewalks.
Every available foot of space in the
building was occupied by people
either standing or sitting, and the
demand for the frozen mixture was
so great that people who were serv-
ed within half an hour, were eX-
tremly lucky. The cream was all
sold by ten O'Clock. The cakes
which were auctioned off, were al
most worth their weight in gold.
A bid for less than fifty cents would
not be entertained, and some of
them brought as high as two dollars
and half. We have not heard the
exact amount realized, but it was
most gratifying and the boys are to
be congratulated upou their success.
1t is a worthy organization, and we
are pleased to note that the people
appreciate their services, as this
