This is as enjoyable game as you
could ask for.
If you do not know how to play it,
follow the directions quoted below
from the Book of Indoor and Outdoor
Games:
Sniff is game of either dominoes or
card dominoes, and may be played by
two persons or four as partners.
The dominoes are posed face down,
and each player takes six, the rest
being left in the stock. The one who
has the highest double opens the
game.
If no one has double, each draws

Warning To Stock Feeders.
Against Bran Containing Rice HulIs

The Pennsylvania Agricultural
Experiment Station recently exam
ined a sample of bran submitted by
a Westmoreland county farmer with
a statement that cattle refuse it and
when they do eat it are purged, =,
and that hogs eating it slcken and
die, one farmer in that county
having lost six hogs in this way.
UPON examination the bran was
found to contain rice hulls.
The hulls, produced abundantly
as a waste from the rice-millirg
industry, differ materially from the
hulis of barley, wheat, rye and oats
because of the tact that they contain
sharp PARTICLES of silica. These are
extremely irritating to the mucous
lining of the digestive tract of the
animals eating the hulls. The
irritation produced is so intense that
many animals are sickened and
often killed because of this action
of the rice hulls Hogs and helfers
have been especially injured whe~c
attempts have been made in the
Southern States to feed this product
and the experience III that locality
has shown these hulls to be all alb
soutely dangerous ingredient of
stock food
Rice hulls have been found in
Western samples of wheat bran sold
in New England and in the Middle
West, but this is the first case in
Pennsylvania. Owing to the eX-
tremely dangerous character of
this adulterant, buyers should be
especially on their guard against it.

PACIFIC Coasts Growth.

When the Lewis and Clark expost-
tion al Portland. Ore, was projected,
the intention was to signalize by an
exhibition the growth Of oregon in
wealth and resources since the two ex-
plorers sent on the recommendation Of
Thomas Jefferson reached the coast.
The changed conditions which have
followed the Spanish-American war
and have marked the Russo Japanese
war have practically transformed the
Pacific coast states. making in q period
Of ten years a change almost as sweep
Ing as occurred in the same region af-
ter the discovery Of gold half century
ago.
Ten years ago the population Of San
Francisco was $50 900; 1t is now i5O,-
600. Ten years ago the population of
Portland where the exhibition is being
held, was $4,000; it Is now l40, 900.
Ten years ago the population of Sc
attle was 35,000 1t is now 10000. Ten
years ago the population of Los An
geles was $4,000; il is now 125, 900. Ten
years ago the population of Spokane
was $4,000: it is now 10000.
These changes in ten years mark the
growth of some of the largest cities Of
the Pacific coast, but in smaller towns
along the coast the gain has been pro-
portionately just as large; in some
cases larger. following the develop

the growth OF the cities Of any other

This Is a very striking showing when
we recall the almost entire immunity
OF the Russian and japanese armies
fighting in Manchuria from fatal casu-
alties in general officers. We recall but
one who has been reported killed In
battle in the far east, and If there are
others they must be very few; where
as the percentage of casualties among
the general officers of the Confederacy
are tar in excess of the percentage of
casualties among the rank and file of
the Russian and Japanese armies as
given by Gen. Bliss, who has the best
OF facilities for learning the facts. No
less than 23 general officers of the
Coniederacy were killed in battle dur

Mission of Music.

Music boxes and blue light are two
of the latest things in the line of an
aesthetics. The music boxes do not
reduce pain or render the patients in
sensible. but. according to Prof. Redard
of Geneva, they do take away certain
Ill effects that often accompany the
use of anaesthetics. 1t is a well-known
fact that external impressions received
during the period of somnolence have
great bearing on the dreams. From
this Prof. Redard conceived the idea
of utilizing music. 1t was found that
the music had tendency to take away
the disagreeable excitation previous 10

found to be free from excitsment.-

As Others See Us

The Milton Rec0rd comments on
the political situation in this county
as follows:
Columbia county is going to
have an interesting fight tor county
commissioner this fall. The Dem
ocrats have two regularly nomin-
ated candidates-that is to say-.two
candidates that succeeded in getting
majority Of the delegates in the
convention. The Republican, s
have named one candidate. There
is one independent Republican
candidate announced, and nomina-
ton papers have already been taken
out by one of the defeated Dem
ocratic candidates. 1t is stated
that two more will enter the race
this week. This will make seven
candidates. Ordinarily, the regular
nominees would be elected without
much of contest, but in the
present shaken up condition of
politics in our neighbor county
there is no telling what the outcome
may be. For years the Democratic
leaders, or pretended leaders of the
Columbia Democracy have been
sowing the seed of dissension, by
resorting to methods that ought to
have landed some OF them behind
the bars. The rank and file of the
party voters want change-a square
deal, and it looks very much to an
outsider as though they had started
in to get it.

sects are pure white III color, and
they are so thick in numbers that
some of the trees look as though
they had been whitewashed. The
naples seem to be most affected,
and good many of the trees seem
to be dying. The scale has been
present in the farming section for
the past few years, and the epidemic
is looked upon as natural conse-
quence. What the result will be
cannot be foretold, but there is
grave danger that many trees will

Teachers Salaries Are Meaare.


Teachers are poorly paid. This y
the conclusion reached by the commit
tee on salaries of the National Educa-
tional Association, appointed two yeaTv
ago, at the Boston meeting. This COM
mittee has collected statistics through
out the United States, and 1t has been
found that the average salary paid to
teachers in elementary schools is less
than that paid to street cleaners. It
must be remembered that the average
salary of teachers is low largely be-
cause of the fact that'the personnel Of
the teaching force Is constantly chang
ing-new teachers with lower salaries
replacing teachers who have been in
the service number of years.
In comparing the salaries of teachers
and street cleaners, it Is noted that the
former are on duty but six hours daily
for SO weeks and the latter 10 houra
daily for so weeks. But the ooechers
generally work more than six Hours a
day, and must live throughout the year
on the salary earned during SO weeks
Of school.
The average salary of teachers in 467
leading cities in elementary schools is
81, ,l61 for men and $3.50 for women,
and in high schools 5000 for women
and 81 ,30S for men, In New York ciyt
the minimum salary of teacherv Is $500
and that of street cleaners s6Si. Bos-
ton pays teachers 1863. aud It's street
cleaners $6OS, while Philadelphia pays
its teachers s470, or $87 less than the
street cleaners. Teachers in San Fran
cisco receive 5000 a year, but the street
cleaners are maid 1880
