THURSDAY.

The senate spent most of the time
this morning in. discussing the Uni
form Textbook Bill, while the house
was engaged in discussing the bill to
reimburse the citizens of Greenville
for money spent on an encampment
which was never held. The House
passed bill prescribing how county
seats may be removed without special
legislation.
The supervisors are to order an
election on petition Of one-third Of the

The Senate Judiciary Committee re-
ported unfavorably the bill exempting

Fired by the example set them by
the COntinentals, the Pennsylvania
militia, under Cadwalader and Ewing
and Mitfiin, had ut last crossed the
Delaware and Joined Grifiin's men.
Washington had followed them. and
the 29th of December found him estab-
Iished in new headquarters ut Tren-
ton. A number Of mounds in the fields
covered with snow, some bitter recol-
lections and sad stories Of plunder,
robbery, rapine and worse, told with
gnashing teeth or breaking heart by
the firesides, were all that remained
of their strange antagonists In the
towA. But the little town and the
little valley were to be once more the
scene Of war. The great game was TO
be played again, and the little creek
of the Assunpink was to run red un'

Crops Growth Irregular.
WEATHER TOO COOL IN SOME DISTRICTS,
BUT CONDITIONS GENERALLY FAVOR
ABLE.

The Weather Bureaus weekly sum-
mary of crop conditions is as follows:
Continued cool weather in the districts
east of the Mississippi River, especially
during the early part of the week ending
June 20, was unfavorable, but to the
westward of the Mississippi the temper
ature was very favorable, the week aver
aging the best of the season in the north
ern Rocky Mountain districts. While
high maximum temperatures occurred
in California, the conditions there have
improved since last week. A large part
of the Gulf States and most of New Eng
land received little or no rain and moist
ure is needed to a greater or less extent
in these districts. Portions OF the lake
region, Ohio Valley and Tennessee are
also beginning to need rain, while too
much has fallen in Eastern Kansas and
Southeastern Nebraska. UnSeasonably
low minimum temperatures occurred in
the Atlantic coast districts on the l4th
and 18th, with light frosts in Central
New Jersey.
AS whole, corn has not made rapid
growth in the principal corn states, and
is generally reported as small, though
healthy and well cultivated, except in
portions of Nebraska and Kansas, where
it is weedy. Good growth, however, is
reported from Oklahoma and Kansas,
and the crop continues to do well in the
Southern States, though needing raip.
Winter wheat has suffered no unfavor-
able conditions, and general improve
ment is indicated in nearly all districts,
although some lodging is reported from
Southern Nebraska. Harvest is in prog
ress in the southern portions of Kansas
and Missouri, but no wheat has been cut
east of the Mississippi north Of the Ohio
River; harvest will begin this week in
Southern Illinois.
On the North Pacific Coast winter
wheat continues in promising condition,
and it is heading in Oregon. Harvest is
in progress in California, where the crop
is light in most sections.
Spring wheat is making rapid growth,
and is in promising condition, although
weedy in North Dakota.
Less favorable reports concerning
oats are received from Missouri, where
the crop is heading short, and from llli.
nois and Michigan, where it is in need
of rain and warmth; elsewhere the gen.
eral outlook continues promising.
The favorable progress Of cotton dur
ing the two preceding weeks has been
checked during the last week in the CELL
trail and eastern portions of the belt,
where rain is generallyneeded and lice
are extensively reported. In Tennessee
and portions of the Carolinas and South
ern Mississippi, however, the crop con-
tinues to do well, and throughout the
cotton belt it is we'll cultivated, except
in Northeastern Texas, where few
fields are still foul. In the last named
state cotton has made rapid growth, and
is generally in fine condition, but boil
weevils are causing damage in greater
number of counties than last week.
Good growth is also reported from Okla
homa, Indian Territory and Arkansas.

Submarine Wells.

Submarine wells are found In many
places. The supply of drinking water
drawn upon by the population OF Bah
rein. on the shores OF the Persian gulf,
comes from springs which have their
origin in the hills Of Oman, 800 miles
away and which rise in the salt waters
OF the gulf.
A diver. winding large goatskin
bag round his left arm and erasp.ng
with one hand its mouth. takes in the
other hand heavy stone secured by
strong line to his boat PlunSlng with
this to the bottom. he instantly opens
the bag over the rushing jet of fresh
water and closes II again us he springs
up In the ascending current. The
stone is then hauled up. and after a
short breathing space the diver repeats
the process.
Thus constant supply Of fresh
water Is found in locality rs dry
and hot rs any on earth. where there
are no land springs and where no rain
falls.-London Standard.

King and Queen streets run together
mt the east end of the town. There
Washington stationed himself. on the
left of Forests battery. which was i'm
mcdiately unlimbered and opened up a
hot fire. The generals position was
much exposed. and after his horse had
been wounded his officers repeatedly
requested him to fall back to a safer
point. Will, he peremptorly refused
to do. The joy of battle sparkled in
his eyes. He had instinctively chosen
that position on the field from whence
he could best see and direct the con-
flict and nothing but successful
charge of the enemy could have moved
him to retire.
few of the cooler headed men
among the Hessians had rallied some
of the Lossburg regiment, and two
guns had been run out into the street
and pointed up toward the place where
Washington stood to form battery
which might. could it have been serv-
ed. have held the American army In
check until such time as the startled
Germans could recover their wits and
make stand. General Washington
pointed them out to the officer OF the
advance guard. which had already done
such good service. with a wave OF MS
sword. The little handful Of men, led
by Captain Washington and Lieutenant
Monroe. charged down upon the guns,
which the party had not had time to
load. \ scattering vOlley received
them. Captai;i Washington and Mon
roe and one of the men were wounded,
Another fell dead. The men hesitated.
Talbot sprang to the head of the col
umn in obedience to the generals nod,
and they rallied. advanced on the run.
and the guns were Immediately cap
tured.
Meanwhile the fire of Stark's riflemen
could be heard ut the other end OF the
town. st. Clair's brigade held the
bridge. The regiment Won Knyphausen
lost few precious moments endeavor-
ing to .eXtricate its guns, which had
become mired in the morass near the
bridge, and then charged upon st. Clair.
But it was too late. Won DechOw was
seriously wounded. and when the regi-
ment saw itself taken In the flank by
Sargeant's brigade it retired in disor-
der, though some few men escaped by
the fOrds.
At this juncture Rail reformed his
scattered troops in the apple orchard.
He seems to have had an idea Of re-
treating toward Princeton at first, with
the two regiments still under his COM
mand. At any rate he also lost pre-
cious moments by hesitation. It was
even then too late to effect success

A FOrgiving Chinaman.

The following remarkable story ap-
pears In Mr.. Whigham's "Manchuria
and Korea" "A Cossack In ut or
had shot a Chinaman. and
It was necessary to bring several OF
the men to the bedside OF the dying
victim for purpose Of Identification OF
the culprit. The Chinaman, however.
refused absolutely to single out the
guilty man, saying, Why should he be
killed, since l must die In any caseY
Then they explained to him that the
man would only be severely punished,
to which the Chinaman responded that
since he forgave the culprit there was
no reason why he should suffer. Then
the theory of the punishment was ad-
duced as an argument-the Cossack
must be punished in order that ne
might not repeat the offense. But,
said the Chinuman, he will never do II
again when he knows that l forgive
him. and there the matter ended.

other by the dashing onslaught of the
Americans. made another futile at
tempt at resistance to Greene's column,
but they soon fell back in great disor-
der upon tie main body.
1t was broad daylight now, and the
violence of the storm had somewhat
abated. In the town, where the firing
had been heard. the drums Of the three
regiments were rapidly beating the as
sen,bly. Colonel Rail- was in bed
sleeping off the effects of his previous
nights indulgences when he heard the
commotion. Jumping from the bed and
running rapidly to the window, still
undrcsscd. hc thrust out his head and
asked the acting brigade adjutant.
Bie. who was hurriedly galloping
past. What il was all about. There was
Il total misrepresentation on all sides
even ut this hour as to the serious ma
ture of the attack. so the confused
colonel. satisfied with Biel's surmise
that it was Il raid, ordered him to take
Il company and go to the assistance OF
the main guard in the supposition that
it was only n skirmishing party and
never dreaming Of u general attack.
Nevertheless he then dressed rapidly
and, running down to the street,
mounted his horse, which had been
brought around. Tie three regiments
which comprised his brigade and COM
mand were already forming. They
were the regiment Rahl. the regiment
Won Lossburg and the regiment Won
Knyphausen. At this moment the ad-
vance party and the main guard came
running through the streets in great
confusion. crying that the whole rebel
army was down upon them. The regi-
ment Rail- and the regiment Won Loss
burg at once began retreating to an
apple orchard back Of the town, firing
ineffectively in their excitement. as
they ran. from behind the houses.s cat

appeared in the street. while the regi-
ment Won Knyphausen. under the COM
mand of Major Won DechOw, the sec

for the bridge over the Assunpink.

One might as well begin to select fol
the coming winter by cutting out all the
hens that were hatched prior to 1905 and
selling them for market. Select as well
all the best pullets of the past winter
and keep them for egg producers the
coming winter. All the best egg-pro.
ducing pullets that We're hatched last
wear should be selected and kept for
next winter. All the rest may as well be
sent to market as soon as you have finish
ed with them for this season, or as soon as
they can be profitably disposed of. The
time to sell is when finished with them,
providing the market is right. 1t always
pays to have those you sell in prime COD,
dition; they pay doubly well compared
with others. When in prime condition
they weigh the best, and in such con
dition they bring more per pound; thus
is gained the double advantage in both
weight and price. Poultry that is prop
erly cared for is usually in good CON
dition for market.

The first absolute principle demanded
for the comfort of. the poultry is cleanli-
ness and freedom from the insect pest,
also as cool a temperature as can be
and other proper treatment, you have
provided for the poultry equal comfort
to that which you have for yourself, in
order to exist pleasantly during the
heated term. These same conditions
should pass all along the line, including
the mother hen with the young chicks
and the colonies of partly grown chicks
that may be anywhere about the farm
To succeed to any extent with the grow
ing of poultry during the heated term
each and every individual specimen
either old or young, must be protected
from the destructive influence OF heat
oyer-crowding and insect vermin.

A few years since the duck business
was the fad. Thousands went in, and
failed. Several succeeded, and have
done well with them. 1t was the same,
only worse, with the Belgian hare, and
now the SQUAD fever is in the air. Thou
sands will be lost at this-all because
people will not study their "a, b, C" IN
poultry culture. Those who start with
a few. and learn the lesson we'll as they
90 along, will succeed with squads;
those who do not will fail.
The hot sun, in combination with
filthy, neglected coops and houses, will
grow quite acrop of hen lice of all kinds
10 lend their aid in the reducing of stocks
and profits in the poultry business
These conditions come every summer,
and destroy quite a percentage OF the
poultry, young and old.

Butter Falling Off.

Reports of the dairy commissioners
of Iowa and South Dakota, recently
made public, show that the butter out
put of both is shrinking at rate that
cannot but alarm people who are preju-
diced against oleomargarine. In South
Dakota the number of creameries de-
creased from 153 to 100. In Iowa 1t has
been reduced in the last five years by
about $50 creameries. The output OF
butter has rot shrunk in so large pro-
portion in either state, but it is smaller
in both. Decreasing areas for pastur'
age, as land becomes too valuable, have
caused the change.
