Ash Wednesday.

Few of the younger generations are the
students of historical facts they should be,
and not many OF them could give an ex-
planation of Ash Wednesday if called
upon to do so. They probably would
say it is the first day of Lent. and that
would be all the information they could
give February 25th, is Ash Wednesday
this year.
The connection of the day with ash or
ashes, seems. to have been that ashes
which had been blessed, were sprinkled.
upon the heads of worshippers in the
sixth century. The form of a cross, too,
was traced with ashes upon their fore
heads. the main object apparently hav-
ing been to remind them that their bodies
were but dust and ashes. On this day,
also. noted sinners protesting penitence
had to appear in church, clothed in sack
cloth, and with tears. solicit. absoiution.
From this custom came the phrase we
hear even to this day, lin sack cloth
and ashes"

More Winter Weather.

Winter is making up for lost time.
Following that of last week. another snow
storm occurred on Monday. Snow be-
gan falling early in the morning and con-
tinued all day, the ground being covered
to the depth of about FIVE inches. The
snow was of a very light, dry nature and
was swirled about and drifted by the
brisk wind. Some roads in this locality
are badly blocked.
Exceedingly cold biting weather has
been experienced since Monday. the mer-
curry ranging low for several days. Early
Wednesday morning the thermometer at
the railroad station here recorded two de-
grees below zero. Other thermometers
in different parts of the town showed a
range of from two to six degrees above
the same morning. At any rate it was a
keen. crisp winter morning, but as the
wind was not blowing the extreme cold
was not particularly discomforting.
The snow of Monday patched up sleigh
ing, which the mild weather OF Saturday
and Sunday had about made thing OF
the past.

with having performed an illegal opera

sponsible for Miss Olsen's condition, but
stated that they were engaged to be mar

nection with the operation was the calling
up OF the doctor by telephone.
The affair is particularly sad one as
Miss Olsen had host of dear friends. 1t
is understood that under the circum.
stances the case against DR.. Showalter
will not be pushed TO the limit, but that

Secretary,

Two murder trials were before Hartford
County Court last week.
The trial of Guisseppi Rappazzo,
charged with the murder of Carlo Olym-
pieri, was begun at Bel Air on Mon
day morning. Rappazzo and Olym-
pierre were watchmen at the Pennsylvania
railroad crossing at Aberdeen. and in a
quarrel on December 4th, Olympieri
threatened to kill Rappazzo. if he was at
the watch box upon fOlympieri's return
that night. Rappazzo notified the town
bailiff and his boss and begged their pro-
lection. When Olympieri returned in the
evening the quarrel was renewed. and in
struggle Rappazzo, in defending him
self. fired fve shots. of which two struck
Olympiere, killing him. On Wednesday
the jury rendered verdict of acquittal.
Immediately after the conclusion of the
Rappazzo case. the second murder case,
with Charles Stonerider. charged with
killing Jacob Kunkle. at Cooptown. on
February 18th, came up for trial. and on
Thursday afternoon the jury returned a
verdict of murder in the second degree,
and on Friday. Judge Harlan sentenced
him to ten years in the peniIentary.

Making Charcoal On The Farm.

Charcoal, made from corn cobs. Is a
valuable by-product of the corn crop.
The method of burning the cobs is simple
and requires very little time. The first
thing TO do is to dig hole in the ground
about six feet deep and 6ve or more feet
in diameter. Build fire in the pit and
when it is burning we'll, fill in the excava-
ton with cobs and tramp them down as
tight as possible. When this is done
cover the top of the pit with piece of
old sheetiron and shovel on dirt to make
the hole as near air tight as passible.
Cobs burned in this manner form excel
lent charcoal which is essential in grow
ing swine or fcwls.-Delaware Farmer.
