Prompt In Ills Bravery.

The courage and judgment displayed
by John Riley. an engineer on the
Pittsburg division Of The Pennsylvania
Railroad. in stopping a runaway train
mt the risk of his life and thereby saw.
ing not only thousands Of dollars
worth Of property but possibly human
lives. has been handsomely rewarded
by the directors Of the company, who
have presented him With n gold watch
valued at $1,000, and n check for $500.
Engineer Rilcy's locomotive was
standing at Altoona when the operator
rushed out and notified him that "A
runaway train Of fifty-six freight cars
was dashng down the mountain to.
ward Altoona and warned him TO get
his engine out Of the way. Instead
OF complying with the operators In
structions, Riley ordered his fireman
TO get OFF the engine, and crowding on
steam he ran back to meet the onrush.
Ing train, sanding the rails as he went.
As he saw II approaching about three
miles TO the westward OF Altoona, he
quickly reversed his engine, and
started II forward. gauging the speed
so that the impact Of the runaway
train would not derail his locomotive
and then gradually reducing the speed.
He was unable 10 bring the train TO
full stop, and his engine was forced
into several other locomotives on the
track ahead of him, and they, as well
as his engine were partly wrecked
before the train was finally stopped.
The damage done was exceedingly
slight compared To what might have
resulted had the speed of the runaway
train not been checked.-Philadclphia

Age at which To Sell Hogs.

A Western hog raiser finds that the
proper time to sell hogs Is when they
are from seven 10 nine months old.
At this age. If properly managed. they
ought to weigh from $50 to 300 pounds.

The Moisture supply For the Potato.

There Is no farm crop that Is more
easily. speedily and greatly affected
by the supply Of moisture than Is the
potato. 1t has been found by expert
mcnt that it takes about i2j tons water
TO grow ton OF dry matter OF pota'
toes. A crop Of 300 bushels per acr'
would therefore require approximately
600 tons water; equivalent to a rainfall
Of nearly six inches. Because OF it'
need for large water supply and It's re-
markablc susceptibility TO cimau'
conditions, IL follows that the average
potato yield Is affected more by water
supply than by lack OF plant food
The selection Of soil and methods or
culture must be with these facts in
view If success Is to be had. The lib,
eral application Of fertilizers or the
presence of large amounts of readily
available plant food will prove OF but
little value If the moisture supply Is
deficient 1t Is also true that too much
water will check the growth rs quick
ly and clfcctually as too little.

The Summer School at walhalIa.

The teachers summer school, which
has been in session at Walhalla for four
weeks, closed Saturday, July 18th, after
month of faithful work. The instruc-
tors, Prof. Benz. Geer and Miss Susie
Williams, were untiring in their efforts
to advance Occnee's t1achors and prepare
them to render more efficient service in
her public schools, and we feel sure that
their work will not fail to give good re-
suits. The attendance was large from
the first and continued so to the close.
All the teachers expressed themselves, as
well pleased with the school and satisfied
with the benefits which they obtained
from 1t. The courses which Prof. Geer
gave in grammar and English literature
were very thorough. The course in lite
nature was of especial Importance, as we
feel sure that it could not have failed to
create desire on the part of the teach
ers to become better acquainted with the
works of all the standard authors. They
were given the keys with which they
may unlock the vaults wherein are con-
tained the beautiful thoughts of the best
works, either prose or poetry.
The course which Miss Williams gave
in primary methods was quite instruc-
tive, and we are certain that the teachers
got ideas that will be of very great value
to them and enable them to do better
