STATE TAX PER CAPITA,
Auditor General Showed That Each Indi-
vidual Pays Seventeen Cents.

Auditor General Snyder Oh Sat-
urday issued a statement, which
had been prepared by his depart
ment from his report for 1908, con-
cerning the sources of revenue and
expenditures of the State. The
statement shows that the proportion
of personal tax paid directly to the
State during 1903 by each individ-
ual was seventeen cents. In re-
turn for this he derived benefits in
money given by The State to schools,
charities, institutions in sum
equal to So. "a.
These facts were based on the
population of II G State i II 1903
which was 6, 500, 900 and the vote

PAINFULLY INJURED BY FALL.
Supporting Rod Gave Way, and Victim
Dropped Twenty Feet to Cement Floor.

Clark Fenstermacher, an EN-.
ployee of the Philadelphia &
Reading Shops at Catawissa met
with an accident Monday morning
which came near costing him his
life. He was at work cleaning a
locomotive, when the supporting
.iod on the platform gave way, and
he plunged downward into an ash
pit, distance of twenty feet, land
ing on a hard cement floor. His ap-
parent.y inanimate form was car
ried by some fellow workmen, out
of the pit, and their united efforts
put forth to resuscitate him. They
succeeded, after considerable hard
work, in restoring him to consci-
BUSINESS, and he was removed to his
home.
Fortunately no bones were
broken, but he was painfully
bruised. He will be incapacitated
for several weeks.

MUSIC.

The following excellent article
was read by +. B. Hartman of
Bloomsbury, before the convention
of school directors, i'll the court
house, on March Sth:
THE VALUE OF MUSIC IN THE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
What is music?
Shakespeare says:
"The man that hath no music in
himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of
sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems and
spoils.
The motions of his spirit are dull
as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus;
LIE. no such man be trusted"
Congfeve says:
"Music hath charms to soothe a
savage breast,
To soften rocks, or. bend a knotted
oak,
I've read that things inanimate
have moved,
And as with living souls h.. We been
informed,
BY magic numbers and persuasive
sound"
Byron says q;
There's music in the sighing of a
reed
There's music in the gushing of a
rill;
There's music in all things if men
had ears.
Their earth is but an echo of
spheres.
Plato says:
Emusic is a moral law. 1t gives
soul to the universe, wings to the
mind, fight to the imagination,
charm to sadness, gaiety and life to
everything. 1t is the essence of
order, and leads to all that is just,
good, and beautiful, of which it is
the invisible, but nevertheless
dazzling, passionate and eternal
FORM"
Anything that adds to one s ability
for usefulness makes that person of
more value along any line he may
pursue; hence he is able to accom-
plish more and can command more
compensation. Many a man or
woman today holds a good position
that he or she would never have
possessed had it not been that they
were good singers or players. and l
know OF no place where more value
could be received for the amount
invested, than by having music
taught in our public schools.
Don't say, it would crowd the
curriculum, for by taking but six
minutes a day, with the whole
school as class, the average scholar
leaving school say at sixteen, would
have received nearly three hundred
(3oo) lessons in music of thirty
minutes each Think of it; when
this comes to pass the problem of
the ability of the coming teacher to
at least teach the rudiments of
music, will be solved.
/ desire to compliment and NOM
mend the Board of Directors of
Bloomsbury on the advanced step
they made some years ago when
they added to our course of study
Music" and employed a musical
supervisor; and they were fortunate
in securing so competent a man as
Mr.. o. H. Yetter, who has so
successfully filed the position to
date.
l claim none of this honor, not
having been member of this board
until the present year, but am in a
position to judge of the a'aIne of
their action, since I have several
children in the public schools, and
am Superintendent of large Sun
day school. Both instances give
me an excellent opportunity to
realize the volue of Music in the
Public Schools, and from observa-
tion and conversation with teachers,
pupils and parents, l am positive
that the concensus of opinion would
be unanimous in favoring the con-
tinuance of music in our public
schools.
l am glad am living in a day
and generation when music is forg-
ing to the front along all lines,
when its value is being more and

Spring Medicine

There is no other season when good
medicine is so much needed as in the
Spring.
The blood is impure, weak and
impoverished--a condition indicated
by pimples and other eruptions on the
face and body, by deficient vitality,
loss Of appetite, lack Of strength, and
want of animation.

EARLY MORNING AIR.
Its Invigorating Effects Largely Due,
1t Is Said, to Dew.

Its Invigorating Effects Largely Due,
1t Is Said, to Dew.
Most people at some time in their
lives probably have risen early enough
to experience the bracing effect given
by filling the lungs while dew is still
on the grass. So far as analysis goes
the composition of early morning air is
not different from that Of air at any
other time. 1t is well to remember,
however, that during the passing Of
night to day and of day to night sew.
eral physical changes take place.
There is fall Of temperature at sum
set and rise again at dawn, and con-
sequently moisture is alternately be-
Ing thrown out and taken up again,
and it is we'll known that change Of
state is accompanied by electrical phe-
nomena and certain chemical mani
festations also. The formation of dew
has probably therefore far more pro-
found effects than merely the moisten-
Ing of objects with water.
Dew Is vitalizing not entirely be-
cause it Is water, but because it pos
sesses an invigorating action due part
~, at any rate, to the fact that it is
saturated with oxygen, and 1t has been
stated that during it's formation peroX-
ide of hydrogen and some ozone are
developed It is not improbable that
the peculiarly attractive and refresh
ing quality which marks the early
morning air has its origin in this way.
Certain it is that the bracing proper
ty of the early morning air wears of
as the day advances, and it is easy to
conceive that this loss of freshness is
due to the oxygen, ozone or peroxide
Of hydrogen, whichever it may be, be-
Ing used up.
The difficulty Of inducing grass to
flourish under tree in full leaf is well
known and is generally explained by
saying that the tree absorbs the nours
lShing constituents of the soil or that
It keeps the sunlight away from the
grass and protects it from rain. It is
doubtful whether any of these expla-
nations is true, the real reason most
probably being that the vitalizing dew
cannot form upon the grass under a
tree, whereas, as a rule, both rain and
light can reach 1t.
Dew Is probably essential to the well
being Of both plants and animals to a
greater extent than is known.-New
York American

A Modern Cannery.

A modern cannery is marvel of me-
chanical ingenuity. After the fish is
cleaned automatic machines do nearly
all the remainder of the work, even in
some instances filling the cans with a
motion for all the world like that Of
two human hands, one holding the can,
the other crowding it full of raw fish.
I shall not attempt to enter into de-
scription of the machinery. The can OF
fish is started rolling on its way, and
one has the impression that it contin-
ues to roll through machine after ma
chine, hardly touched by human hands.
It rolls into the cooker and out again
even rolls itself into a bright colored
label, and finally somehow rolls into a
packing box, ready to be loaded in the
car waiting at the door.-Ray Stannard
Baker in Century.
