THE BERRYYILLE DEPOT, 4"

The editor of the COURIER is
evidently not the only Newspaper
man who has observed the misera-
bile accommodations offered by the
Norfolk & Western at their depot
here.
No sanitation or plumbing at all
has ever been installed, and no
provision has ever been made for
privacy of any character.
Commenting on our article of
last week, the Winchester Star
says:
THECLABKE COURERvery Justly
complains of the Norfolk & West
crndepot at Berryville. Thedepot
is little, bad smelling place where
in the mems department., at least,
white men and negroes are herded
together. ThepeopleOfBerryville
have remedy. The State Corpor-
alton Commission has the power to
compel the erection Of a good depot
and ample accommodations. Let
the Berryville town council pass
resolutions authorizing the town
attorney to make complaint.

Hide Your Fruit Trees.

As lawn specimens fruit trees are
nearly always disappointing. They
have more insect enemies and funCous
diseases than first class ornamental
trees and shrubs. If you spray them
they are unsightly; If you do not your
lawn is covered with wormy fruits,
which look bad and smell worse. The
peach is short lived, delicate tree
which Is particularly subject to San
Jose scale. PlumS and cherries are
sure TO yield wormy fruit unless you
jar the curcullOs out Of them long be-
fore breakfast or unless you let the
chickens run beneath the trees. Both
are violent suppositiOns for a home
lawn.-COuntry Life In America.

Development of a Chick.

The development of chick within
the egg Is one of the most wonderful
things In nature. At the end of the
htty-eighth hour OF incubation the
heart begins to beat, two vesicles are
seen and few hours later the aurI.
cles also appear On the fourth day
the outlines of the wings may be per.
ceived and sometimes OF the head also;
on the fifth day the liver is visible; on
the sixth other internal organs appear
In 100 hours the beak is fully formed;
In 200 hours the ribs are clearly deveL
oped; In 240 hours the feathers are Wis
ible; In 2G8 hours the eyes appear; In
2SS the ribs are completed and the
feathers on the breast; in $50 the
lungs, stomach and breast have as.
sumed natural appearance. On the
eighteenth day the first faint piping of
the chick is sometimes audible.

In these days Of conscrvatories and
music schools. when each house has its
piano OF its organ, 10 say nothing of
devotces 10 the cornet. violin and han.
10, IL seems strange TO assert that there
over was u time when musicians were
in demand, yet such was really the
case. "In the fifteenth century" saws
Mr.. Henry NJ. Brooks IN his old
On Time Music" musicians were SO
scarce in England that they were i'm
pressed by government order, rs in
more recent times seamcn had 10 suf-
fer IN like manner. Henry VIII. also
Issued warrants for the impressment
OF children with good voices for the
choirs of the cathedrals, and in Eliza
beth's time children with the proper
qualification for her majesty's choirs
We're taken from their parents without
any compensation being given to the
latter"

weighing Common Air-

The weight of air has often been test
ed by compresslng 1t in receptacles by
the air pump. That 1t really has weight
when so compressed Is shown by the
fact that the weight Of the vessels is
increased slightly by filling them with
compressed air and that such vessels
become specifically lighter" as soon
as the air contained in them is ex-
hausted- Many elaborate experiments
on the weight OF air have proved that
one cubic foot weighs 03G grains, or
something less than one and a quarter
ounces. The above experiment on the
weight of air is supposed to be made
at the surface OF the earth with the
temperature at 90 degrees r. Heated
air, or air at high elevations. is much
lighter.
