How Humming Birds Hatch Out.

William Lowell Finley, the new natur'
alist- photographer, writes as follows in
The Country Calendar for June, the new
outdoor magazine published by the Re-
view of Reviews Book Company:
"At first, the little capsules of eggs had
wonderfully delicate flesh tint of pink.
Then, one morning, stood over the nest
like Thomas of old. Some one had re-
placed the eggs with two tiny black bugs!
It might have been miracle. There was
a tiny knob on the end of each little bug
that looked as if it might be the begin
ming of bill. Each little creature re-
sembled black bean more than a bird,
for each possessed.a light streak of brown
down the middle of the back. They
couldn't be beans, for they were pulsing
with lite in a lumpy sort of way. / went
frequently to look at them. In few
days the little nestlings began to fork out
all over with tiny black horns, until they
would have looked like prickly pears
had they been the right color. At the
next stage, each tiny horn began to bios
som out into spray of brown down, the
yellow at one end grew into bill, the
black skin cracked a trihe and showed
two eyes. 1t was hard to see just how
these black bugs could turn to birds, but
day after day the miracle worked till
really saw two young humming- birds"

Memorial Day.

Although the day was showery, a fact
which somewhat interfered with the COM
plete enjoyment of the occasion, the pro-
gram as adopted by the Post and Relief
Corps, was completely carried out in all
its details yesterday in Tionesta. Early
in the morning delegation from both oil
these orders drove TO the Mt. Zion and
Zuendel cemeteries, German Hill, and
with appropriate exercises decorated the
graves of fallen heroes buried there,
reaching home again before noon. At
1870 O'Clock, led by the Post, Relief Corps
and Sons of Veterans Camp, the children
of the Sabbath schools marched to the
river bridge where the ceremony of
strewing flowers upon the waters in hon
OF of those who fell in the navy was
beautifully carried out. From this point
the line of march was again taken up,
ending at beautiful Riverside cemetery,
where the usual ritnalislic ceremonies
were held and the grave of each comrade
was bedecked with flowers. The large
assemblage of people then repaired to the
court house, where, after the regular or
der of business was disposed of, the
speaker of the day, Rev. DR.. Slondker,
was introduced and delivered very able,
eloquent and patriotic address, which
was greatly enjoyed by the large au-
dience present. This ended the days
beautiful services.
And thus was added to the list another
day of patriotic devotion and love for the
veterans who had braved all and offered
their lives, if need be, that their nation
might live. Rev. w. o. Calhoun, in his
sermon last Sabbath morning at the
Presbyterian church, referred beautifully
to this most enduring monument" as
it were, that has been instituted 'as
memorial" to the bravery and self-sacri-
flee of the boys who went to the front
when the nations existence was in great
est peril. Granite shafts may crumble
and moulder in the dust, but "this day"
shall be las a memorial unto you' while
the nation stands.

Pennsy Flyers in Service.

The fastest trains ever seen on the
Chautauqua division of the p. r. r. were
in service Monday says the Titusville
Herald, and no small interest was CEN
tered on the initial trip of the two new
trains between Pittsburg and Buffalo.
No. 16, the "Duquesne Flyer" reached
this city at 4:05, exactly on time. No. Is,
the Buffalo Special" was also able to
make its schedule, arriving here at 5;l3.
These trains reduce the time south
ward between Buffalo and Pittsburg by
one hour and twenty-five minutes and
northw ard by one hour and forty min
utes. They make the trip in exactly
seven hours, stopping only at the larger
stations. Both carried good business
yesterday. Each is composed of engine,
combination baggage car and smoker,
day coach and cafe car. The engines
have been built to order in the Altoona
shops and are the largest ever seen on
this division. They have n-foot
drive wheels and trailers. They are cap
able of a very high speed, the Duquesne
Special running in from Hydetown yes
terday at a sixty clip.
Pat Somers was in the engine of the
Duquesne Special. He is one of the old
est, most fearless and careful of the
Pennsy's engineers. The Buffalo Special
was in charge of Engineer James O'Neil
of Oil City. He is also one of the best
men employed by the company. 1t is
the old case of "Daddy's on the engine;
don't be afraid.n

Base Ball.

The ball game on the home grounds
last Saturday, when Oil City sent up an
aggregation, was quite devoid of interest,
the visitors being far outclasseG by the
10 ,al team. But for a little loose work
on the part of Tionesta the visitors would
have carried a fine basket of goose eggs
homo with them. AS it was the game
resulted 1914 for the home team. Bank
head and Lawrence formed the battery
for the Tionestans, and while "Billy" did
some nice twirling, he was not in his
usual form-didn't have to be to win the
game easily. The game at Warren
week ago to-day, resulted in favor OF the
strong Warren team, they running up lS
while boys could get but 8. Not all extra
good game on either side.
A fine game was witnessed by big
crowd on the home grounds yesterday
afternoon, when the Titusville team went
down before the locals. The game was
interesting from start to finish and there
were many snarpy plays on both sides.
The teams were very nicely matched,
with possibly two exceptions, Tionesta
having the heaviest hitters, while Titus
Vile was weak at first base. Bankhead
and Lawrence did the battery work for
the locals, and this work was errorless,
'"Billy" striking out IA, and 'Kush"
never let one go by. Gillen aud Metzger
formed the battery for the visitors, and
the former had strike-outs to his credit.
Six hits were made off his delivery. to
FIVE off Bankhead. The score by innings

Why suffer from rheumatism when
one application of Chamberlain's Pain
Balm will relieve the pain? The quick
relief which this liniment affords makes
rest and sleep possible, and that alone is
worth many times its cost. Many who
have used it hoping only for short re-
lief from suffering have been happily
surprised to find that after awhile the re-
lief became permanent. Mrs. V. II. Leg
gett of Yum Yum, Tennessee, U. s. A.,
writes. "I am great sufferer from
rheumatism, all over from head to foot,
and Chamberlain's Pain Balm is the only
thing that will relieve the pain" For

Letter to f. Il. LanSOn,

DEAR SIR:-Two years ago the estate
of the late Congressman Scott, of Erie,
Pa, painted "a Rolling Mill houses one
coat Devoe at a saving CT II per cent. for
paint dead and-oil was after the job.)
That's how the tale reads. We infer
what really happened,
The buyer, as usual, went by the cost
of paint; got bids. Lead. andoil bid low
and guessed the quantity low; the saving
was only II per cent.
Nobody seems to have thought Of this:
the painting cost two or three times as
much as the paint. How much did we
save on the painting? Don't know.
The tale ends with this: We often re-
fer inqurers to those houses, for wear OF
Devoe.
That's a good-enough story; but no
body knows what it is. Our only diff
Guilty is want Of paint-intelligence

Errors of tho Doctors.

George w. Hennessey, a lifesavel examined by a physician of the United States marine hospital in New York and pronounced physically fit," drop ped dead a moment later. John R. Millspaugh, serving short sentence in the Detroit house of cor rection for a minor offense, boasted that he could deceive the physician at tached to that institution. He was taken i'll ana the doctors believed he was feigning illness-until he died. Then they found they had deceived themselves. These two men died on the same day.
 Years ago clever woman reporter visited the offices of number of phy- sicians, gave them an identical state ment, and each named separate con- plaint and prescribed a different course of treatment.
 From time to time the news columns of the daily press tell how some un- fortunate has died of injuries and dis. ease after having been taken in an ambulance to hospital where his or her ailment was diagnosed as "intoxi- cation"
 Yet against any record of blunders it may be worth while to offset the action of Dr. Michael K. Warner, of Baltimore, who destroyed his accounts beforrJ he lied in order that his pa- tr US should not be pressed for pay.

PASSING OF THE RAIL FENCE.
Hardwood Timber Too Valuable Now
 and Wire Takes Its Place.

dhu W LTC lhACo At6 ihSCs
 The country youths of to-day have no rail-splitting records to boast of. Rail making is an industry of the past. There are a few remote localities in Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, and Arkansas, where occasional new stretches of worm fence may still be seen, but these new rails are so rare sight as to excite comment.
 The passing of the old worm fence Is due to the scarcity of timber. Wire fences are replacing the zigzag rows of rails in the region where timber was formerly abundant. When rail fence becomes so dilapidated as to be no longer serviceable it is taken down and the rails which are in a good state of preservation are used to repair other stretches of fence and wire fence is put in it's place. Another advan- tage of the wire fence is that it econo- mizes space. The land that was for merly taken up by the fence corners is reclaimed.
 The fate of the raii fence was de- clared less than twenty years ago, when the value of walnut, oak, and poplar timber increased to such a figure as to make wire fences cheap CT. In the worm fences still in exist ence there are thousands cf walnut and popular rails in an almost perfect state of preservation. The walnut ones are valuable. An enterprising Chicago concern recently made that discovery, and its representatives have purchased many carloads of the rails.
 Walnut rails have remarkably long life Many are still in use which were split more than fifty years ago.-Wash- ington Post

It Might Be of Some Use.

There are some persons who take a sordid, utilitarian view of everything, including the achievements of science. A public-spirlted citizen who was try ing to raise funds to assist we'll known arctic explorer in fitting out an expedition for polar research called upon a wealthy lumber dealer and asked him for contribution.
 What's the good of it?" asked the lumber dealer.
 "The good of it? Won't 1t be worth something to mankind if he discovers the north pole?"
 Suppose he does find it. What good Is the north pole to anybody|
 Here the callers patience gave way.
 "I didn't know but you might have some curiosity, as an expert, to know what kind of lumber it's made of," he said, turning on his heel and walking out

She Was.

A Boston woman, after selecting some embroidery in one of the big de- partment stores, discovered that she had not money ~eaough with her to pay for it. She thad never opened an account in this particular shop, and it was therefore agreed that the clerk should put the goods aside until the next day, when the purchaser should come for 1t with cash in hand.
 When the woman returned the day following to get her embroidery she could not remember which of the sales- women had waited upon her. After puzzling over the matter for mo. ment, however, she approached one who looked vaguely familiar and asked: Am the woman who bought some embroidery here yesterday"
 "Yes'm," replied the girl, stolidly, and turned to get it.
