Public Beuefactious.

The donations for charity, phil.
anthropy, and education for the
year just closed reach the stu.
pendous total of $141, ,350,0O0.
This is an excess over 1908 OF
$40, 900, 900, and goes to show that
human sympathy is still great.
OF the total, about one-third is
for educational work.
j. S. Kennedy, the New York
banker, who died Sc 'eral months
ago, leads the list with $26, $780,
600, John d. Rockefeller comes
next with 1852, 900, and An
drew Carnegie is third with $6,-
056, 900. Fully a dozen others
gave a million or more. The fight
on tuberculosis was responsible
for some large donations, while
the colleges Jared about as well
as In the previous year.
The total amount gwen for
public benefit in the last seven
teen years Is more than a billion
dollars This Is sum almost be
yond the power OF the mind to
grasp. 1t means that not all our
mlllionaires are selfish in their

Concentration ef wealth may
not be for the best interests of

1t often proves boon TO mankind.

Letter Writing.

A letter, says The Ladies'
World for January, shows the
characteristics of the writer
neatness, accuracy, refinement,
courtesy, conslderateness, or the
reverse. A letter with neat ap.
pearance, written in a clear, dis
tinct handwriting, easy to read
and we'll expressed in simple,
direct, definite language, with
sentences punctuated, para
graphs properly arranged, Is al
ways welcome communication.
If a letter is hastily written in a
scrawilng, illegible handwriting,
with confused sentences, words
crowded together, or If 1t has
mistakes in grammar, spelling
and punctuation, 1t does not give
a pleasant impression.
Time, care and thought must
be taken in all letter-writing.
Any one with good common
school education should be able
to master the mechanical parts of
correspondence, at least.
Good, plain. rather thick note
paper, folded square and placed
In an envelope to fit Is always IN
good taste. Ruled paper should
never be used. Note paper en-
craven with the address gives a
neat appearance. If the address
is not engraved it should be writ
ten at the head of the letter to-
ward the right. The date is
placed beneath the address. The
name Of the month IS written In
full. The date of the month and
year are IN numerals. 1t is not
correct to use the numerals,
1-5-10.
Black ink Is invariably used. 1t
is inexcusable to write in pencil.
Handwriting should be perfectly
legible. The angular, vertical, or
small, round letters are preferred
at present. Words are separated
clearly. 1t Is best to write
straight on from page to page, and
not twist OF skip about and con-
fuse the reader.

The Brightest Spot.

A happy bIme is the brightest
spot on earth that the eye of God
looks down upon. Love and
peace IN his home sends sunshine
around the man wherever he
goes; disorder and trouble, there
Is misery everywhere. There
are few worries of life which a
man cannot now and then shake
off, but who can shake himself
free from the skeleton in the
closet, from the worry of the
household, a blister on the heart.
A day will tell how many a man
carried that with him without
wlnclng down to the grave. When
husband and wife are helpmate
to each other in the best sense;
when order and love and good
ness prevail IN the house, then
the man who has a hard battle IN
life to fight can leave his strug.
giles behind him when he enters
there. With all our faults we are
the most home loving Of people
and that ID the reason why we
are the greatest of people. What
ever helps home life is national
blessing; whatever hurts home
life is national curse, and the
greatest curse that can touch
these blessings is what would
tamper with the peace and bles-
sedness Of our homes.

New Years Surprise Party.

On Saturday, January 1, 1910,
quite number of friends and
relatives assembled at the home
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Ulysses De-
Shong, and gave Mrs. DeShong
quite pleasant surprise. 1t was

of sleighbells. 1t was not long
until about fifty of her friends
had arrived and were enjoying
themselves. About twelve o.
clock, the dining room doors were
thrown open, displaying a table
laden with all kinds of good
things that anyone can mention.
Every body just ate all he could
and some more than he wanted.
Some Of the boys took a fancy to
the chocolate pie, and ate so much
they couldn't see, and got 1t In
their eyes instead of their mouths.
Edward Strait ate at every table
and then was afraid he wouldn t
get enough, and tried to fill his
pockets with chicken, but when
he looked he failed to have any
thing out bones. The afternoon
was spent IN shedding, telling
stories, and all kinds of fun.
Those present were, Morgan
DeShong, Mrs. Mary e Mellott.
Ulysses DeShong, wife and daugh
ter Ada; Edward Strait, wife and
daughter Elizabeth; Jordan De-

Prof. n. A. Surface, Harrisburg, Pa.
Many of the requests for infor-
nation in regard to trees aud
their ailments that are received
by State Zoologist ii. A. Surface,
Harrisburg, are not definite
enough, and it is difficult to give
the proper remedies in conse :
quence of not having sufficient
information.
A manufacturer of Hanover,
Pa, wrote to Professor Surface,
inquirlng what to do for the trees
In his garden-pear, plum, cher.
ry, ounce and apricot, which
are suffering, and apparently dy.
ing. Following Is the Professors
answer, and 1t will be well for
those intending to write for In.
formation concerning their trees
to observe the instructions given:
Replying to your letter as to
what to do for your fruit trees. l
beg to say that the remedy de.
pends upon the kind of disease
or trouble. l would strongly sus
pect that your trees are infested
with San Jose scale, but l am not
sure of this. The scale attacks
all varieties which you mentlou,
and it will certainly make them
look slckly, and worse within a
very few years. If you will send
me some twlgs from your trees,
I can examine them, and If the
trouble be San Jose scale l can
let you know exactly about this.
l can then tell you just how and
when to treat them. You are at
liberty to write to the Orchard
Inspector for your county, ask
ing HIM to stop and see your trees
at any time when he is In your
neighborhood. He will doubtless
let you know when his business
will take him there.
eff / am passing that way soon
can come personally to see your
trees, but think the first thing
Is for you to send me some of the
twigs. and If they have scale, or
any evidence of plant disease,
which can be detected by an ex-
animation OF them, 1 can give you
the diagnosis and outline the
remedy. This will answer the
same purpose as though l, or one
of my inspectors, would take the
time to come and see them.
Please be sure to put your name
on or In the package, which may
be sent to me by mail"
