thorough harmony with the warm sun

full with flowers. in which the grace
ful Easter lily, the emblem of the
birth of beauty, of purity out of the
slime and mire Of the earth, was every
where the central figure. Large
congregations throngcd every place OF
worship. The crucitiXiOn and resur-
reCtion of Christ formed the theme of
every sermon The music prepared
for the day as announced IN these
columns last week was of an cs-
pecially elaborate nature and it is
gratifying to note that without cxcep-
tion the various programs were carried
through most effectively.

ARBOR DAY
FRIDAY NEXT
Flood and Drought Due to Destruction
of Forests.

Governor Stone has appointed Fiji
day. April 4th, as the first OF the two
Spring Arbor days, the second FOL
lowing on the 18th, inst. The Governor
urges that the day be observed by
planting trees, citing the recent floods
and storms as an added argument in
favor of restoring the forests OF the
State.
1t must indeed be poorly informed
person. who at this time would ignore
the value of forests or even OF mod

ing the rainfall, and restraining the
flow of water when the snow, piled up
among the mountains, begins to melt

ed droughts as we'll as the devastat-

nudation of our country OF its timber

Oh scientific observation and as such
they are taught i'll our public schools.
Arbor Day was instituted at least
fifteen years ago. The event was OBJ
served with appropriate exercises III
the schools, aS, speaking for our own
borough, it seems TO be at present. But
the observance of ArbOr Day was not
considered complete without the act
ual planting of trees. Thus tree-plant-
ing in the child's mind was removed
from the domain OF theory into that Of
practice. Even if the frail tree plant
ed in the earth failed to take root it
was felt that some good had been ac-
complished.
Within recent years Arbor Day has
added few, if any trees, to the borough
To what extent tree planting or forest
ry is dwelt upon in the public schools
of this section we cannot say, but the
subject no doubt receives some atten-
tion.
At all events it is hoped that the
teaching will make itself felt before
many years. In no part of the State is
the merciless slaughter of timber car
ried to greater extent than in this sec
tion. While the Commonwealth is do
ing what it can to restore trees to
denuded tracts, the portable saw mill
hereabout continues on its mission Of
destruction. One by one the tracts of
scrubby timber, which in their own
way contributed TO the general good,
disappear and the hill sides and the
mountain tops denuded, barren and in
accessible to the plow, lie uncultivat
ed and desolate, q blemish on the land
scape.

Further improvements.

New boilers are being installed in
the No Puddle mill at the Reading
Iron Works, which Will be better un-
derstood by those not acquainted about
the mill as the portion which was not
destroyed by fire last May.
IN all there will be seven new boilers
one for each of the puddle furnaces.
These will be of improved and modern
type, the same as installed in the new
portion Of the mill. The new boilers
are larger than those displaced and
will necessitate considerable altera-
tions about the MILL the most import
ant of which will be the raising of the
roof of each of the lean-tos. The i'm
preston is unfounded which seems to
have got abroad that the No. puddle
mill is to be torn down and rebuilt.
The boilers will be installed one at
a time so as not TO interfere too much
with the progress of work.

Very Unpleasant Adventure.

Mrs. DietZ. He finally became gross

ed him to leave the wagon. He refus-
ed and kept up his insulting conduct
until Kocher'S blacksmith shop was
reached. Here Mr.. Dietz stopped and
went into the shop to procure a weap-
on of some sort with which TO defend
his wife's honor. AS soon as his back
was turned the drunken man made an
assault on the defenseleSs woman By
this time Mr. Dietz had found a club.
Rushing to the aid of his wife he dealt
her assallant heavy blow, the full
force of which fell upon the fellow 5
chin. He was rendered unconscious
and for over half an hour lay in that
state. He was dragged into the black
smith shop and as there seemed some
doubt as to whether he might recover
DR.. Kimerer was called. He improv-
ed under treatment and at last ac-
counts he seemed out of danger, al
though it will be many days before he
will recover from the effects of the
blow he received.

NEW HEATER
INSTALLED
An Appliance Which will Prove a Saving
at the Water Works.

Among the recent improvements at
the Water Works is the installment OF
new heater which will result i'll the
saving of fuel to the amount of several
hundred dollars per year. The heater
is a modern appliance which utilizes
the exhaust Of the engine to heat the
water before it is sent into the boiler.
Thus while in former times the wat
er passed into the boilers ice cold 1t
now enters heated up very near to the
boiling point and that, too, without a
cent Of additional cost.
The heater Just installed is something
quite original III its way, designed by
Superintendent p j. Keefer, for the
special needs at the Water Works and
manufactured by Curry q Vannan of
this city.
The heater, which contains fifty l.
inch copper tubes, is 8 feet long and
ll% inches in diameter, giving 1t Il
heating surface of over four hundred
square feet 1t sends water into the
boiler heated up to 2lO degrees, Fab
renheit, or degrees below the boi ling
point.
The old heater displaced in use by
the one just installed had a heating
surface of but 80 square feet and was
utterly inadequate, as it was incapable
of heating the water up to any higher
point than Il0 degrees.

Officer Young After Iruants,

John Snyder, Sr., Upper Mulberry
street, and his little seven-year-o old
grandson, John Snyder, We're before
Justice Of the Peace Bare last night.
The principal offender in the case was
Master John, pupil of the first grade
of the Fourth Ward schools, who it
seems is an habitual truant. His grand
father was summoned to answer for neg
lect in not compelling the boy to at
tend school
The case is one which has given the
truant officer a great deal Of trouble
and the Justice explained to Mr Sny-
der just where his responsibility lay.
The man explained that the boy is hard
to control, but admitted that he
might have been a little too lenient
Fine and costs amounted to some
five dollars. Mr.. Snyder promised
to see to it that the boy attended
school in the future, whereupon the
case was continued with the under
standing that should the boy fail to
attend regularly both pupil and grand
father will be brought up again, the
former to pay the fine and costs accru-
ed and the latter to be taken in charge
by the authorities and handed over to
some institution.
The School Board who are back of
the truant officer in this affair are
very much III earnest. This case is
only one of several which Officer
Young has on the string. There are
other habitual truants in the upper
end of the borough who, he says, will
