The Old Time Quill and the Art of
Putting a Point on II.
Quill pens are no longer used except
In rare old fashioned instances. but
people still use ''penknives"-you can
see the name any day in the cutlery

them to make or mend pens. In fact,
where is there a man or woman who
knows how to put point ON a quill?
1t was once an art which every man
had to master. though women were
generally bad at it. as they are now at
sharpening pencils.
In the old days the first question
asked of Il schoolmaster was the one
whether he was skillful in pointing
quilts, for he had to sharpen the pens
Of his whole school and incidentally in
struct his pupils in the art Alas!
There is no modern pen of steel or gold
that Is so smooth, so swift. so alluring
as good quill pen. The writer is very
sure OF that. for his father used to tell
him so.
The art Of handwriting has certainly
declined since the quill pen went out of

ute by calling writer quill

are injured by them.

action is positive, but gentle Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit

AUSTRIA IS CRUMBLINC,
declares GERMAN spy
DR.. Graves, Twelve Years In Secret
Service of the Kaiser, Predicts the
War VIII Last Six Months More
and Russia win Gain Most

DIR. Armgaard Karl Graves, for
twelve years a member Of the German
secret service, and who has been called
by the "London Times "the most
dangerous spy of the Gentry" is in
Harrisburg and wiA talk at the Ma
jestic theatre tonight on some of the
inside facts concerning the great Euro
pean struggle.
A close alliance between Germany
and Russia if certain circumstances oc-
cur, before many months have elapsed,
and the downfall of Austria, were two
predictions made to-day by DR.. Graves,
who freely discussed the war situation
and told his ideas of the ultimate plans
and aims of the warning nations.
Austria is going to crumble," said
the noted spy, "and there will be q
separste kingdom of Hungary. That
portion of Austria lying adjacent to
Germany will become part of the
kaiser's domain, while Russia and
Italy will divide what is left, Italy re-
ceiving share because of her friendli-
ness for Germany, which prompted her
for Franz Joseph land.
This mighty struggle is not going
to end for the next six months" DR..
Graves continued, "and there will be
no decisive outcome. Neither Germany
nor England nor France is going to be-
come supreme in Europe. The war viii
continue in its present more or less
deadlocked condition until the nations
come to amicable terms. England and
Germany win bury the hatchet, but
there will be no permanent peace be-
tween these two nations. The natural
rivaly for supremacy between the great
European nations preclude any such
possibility.
$50 far as | can foresee, there will
be no radical changes in the present
map of Europe, with the exception of
the disintegration of Austria, which is
a foregone conclusion. / do not think
that Germany will annex Belgium, but
| do believe that France will regain
possession of Alsace-Loraine. just what
England viii gain is hard to determine.
What caused this mighty war, is
the often asked question. Few can
agree upon whether it was Germany, or
England or France, but in the shuttle,
all seem to have overlooked the real
potent cause of the conflict Russia.
Muscovite ambition is what actually
precipitated more than half of Europe
into strife, and Russia, mark my words,
will be the chief gamer. The Car
wants to expand, especially in the Bal
kan country, and you will find that
when it is all over Russia will be
strongly entrenched along the Bosphor-
u.s.
In this talk here this evening, DR..
Graves will give his ideas of the in
trigue and underlying causes which pre-.
cipitated the war, and of the part the
secret service played in bringing about
the general hostilities.

FEEDING OF THE RABBITS
State Zoologist Says Animals Caused
Loss of Many Thousands of Dol
lars to Fruit Growers

State zoologist H. A. Surface calls
attention to the fact that the loss by
RABBITS last year to fruit growers of
pennsylvania amounted to hundreds of
thousands of dollars, and this year it
will be much worse if something be
not done to prevent that loss. Rabbits
are very interesting creatures. Many
persons would like to see them a round
the premises if it were not for the dam
age they do. They are also the most
important objects in the sport of hunt
ing IN Pennsylvania because of their
great numbers; and their flesh consti-
tutes an important economic item in
the food of mankind. 1t is not best TO
exterminate them for the mere purpose
of determination. They have their
place in nature, and there as no reason
why they should not be preserved, for
economic uses, if for no other. Thev
can be kept in the orchard without in
jury to the trees. if little attention
IS given to feeding them during this
time of food scarcity, while the pro
longed snow prevails. Apples are so
very cheap that it means but little to
the fruit grower to throw half bush
ell of apple culls where the rabbits will
find them and feed on them. 1t is sur
prising how readily the rabbits take to
such food, and how effectively this
kind of feeding protects the trees.
1t was recently found that, due to
the prolonged snow, the rabbits were
commencing to eat the fruit buds of
low dwarf pear trees. To prevent
Thus apples were scattered under the
trees, and there was no further trou-
BILE to them.
Another means off preventing dam
age by rabbits is to prune off the
branches Of trees that are superfuous
and could be removed by the regular
process of pruning, and throw them
on the ground near the young trees.
While rabbits are not liable to attack
old trees, they may peel and entirely
destroy young trees. The scattering of
living branches around the trunks of
trees will give decidedly effective pro
lection, because the rabbits prefer the
fruit-bearing branches and buds of old
trees to the stems or trunks of younger
trees. Let anyone try this, and he will
find it to be an effective means of feed
ing the rabbits and protecting the
young trees at the same time.
There is no horticultural reason why
the so called spring pruning cam not be
done now, or at any time during the
winter, and thus not only save time
from crowding this work into spring,
but also furnish branches for feeding
and protecting the rabbits.

KING ALBERT DUG TRENCHES:

London, Jan. IL. - The "Daily

soldier, which says, among other
things:
I'VE never knew how much we loved
our King. With what he has done and
IS doing for US we could not help loving
him. One Sunday while he was on a
tour of inspection with his staff officers
he saw men digging trenches who
looked very tired. The King inquired
how long they had been working and
on being told sent them away to rest
while he proposed to the officers that
they and himself take the men s places.
The King could then be seen digging
trenches to relieve his soldiers.

yer Forced to Hand Out His
Change

Chambersburg. Jan. 12-When Isaac
W. Saunders, the drayman, went to his
stable yesterday morning shortly after
4 O'Clock he was met by highway
man who demanded his money. In some
manner when the bag containing the
