Though bright to my heart are some scenes In m y lad time, Which fond recollection presents to my view, One thing I remember that brought me no j l a d time, But lent to m y childhood an Indigo hue. How awiul when sneaking away from my mother, As down to the creek with my t a c k l e l f l e d, To hear father's voice, " One good t u r n needs another; Come t u r n a t t h e grindstone t h a t hangs by t h e shed." The old crooked grindstone, The wobbling old grindstone, The old squeaking grindstone that hung by the shed. Ah, many's the hour I've turned it and grunted, For i t was the millstone that burdened me down; While nuts were to gather a n d squirrels to be hunted, There was always an ax or tcythe to be ground. I t never was oiled and was hard in t h e turn-ing; " Only gresse of the elbows it needs," father said ; And the handle would often slip oil without warning And instantly tumble me heels over head. The old dented grindstone, That worn away grindstone, I t gathered no moss as it hung by t h e shed; " This stone," father said, " like earth, turns on its axis, But comparison fails on the matter of force." I said, "Though the speed of the e a r th ne'er relaxes, I am sure it would stop 'neath those axes of yours." The nicks they were deep in the ax or the hatchet, And father bore on till sweat dropped from his head ; If I'd pause to put water on, then I would catch it ; Watch the crank and keep on with the motion," he said. Oh, t h a t old shaky grindstone, That slow grinding grindstone, That hard running grindstone that hung by the shed! Yes, dear to my heart are some scenes of my childhood— The orchard, t h e cider, the neighbors' peach trees, The school hours I pleasantly passed in the wildwood, And the honey I stole unbeknownst to the be<s. But t h a t circular horror, whose motion was rotary, To-day makes my anger ail fly to my head. And I 'm willing to go a n d make oath to the notary That 1 was ground dull by t h a t stone by the s h e d - That lopsided grindstone, That old hated grindstone. That confounded grindstone that hung by the shed. Puck's Philosophy. Youth is the time when we have more ideals than ideas. Many of us might be weighed and found wanting the earth. The difficulty of knowing what not to say is never so great as the difficulty of not saying it. " Figures," said the circulation affi-davit man," won't lie, unless somebody hypnotizes them." A man may be considered a hope-less fool on account of his absurdly sanguine expectations. For the right woman the average man's heart-strings are about as hard to play on as an autoharp. The man who knows when he has got enough frequently finds that he has over-estimated his capaaity. " It is a long lane that has no turn-ing," but, if it can be located, some enthusiastic wheelman will cheerfully tackle it. The great objection to' flying from the ills you have to those you know not of is that you cannot usually make a return trip. The idiot who rocks the boat is not always among the yictims; that ia to say, death loves a shining, but not necessarily a soft mark. To be able to understand why people don't like you, without considering the reason one of your virtues, is pretty near the limit of human liberality. Men are certainly more charitable than women ; men don't think nearly RO hard of a woman who wears a man's lat, as women would think of a man with flowers twined in his hair. THE CORNWALL/ MINES.

In the estate of Samuel Royer, de-ceased, an appeal has been taken to the Superior Court by Samuel Wolf from the decision of, the Orphans' Court of this county. The appellant had been named by Samuel Royer as one of his executors in the original will, but in a codicil he was replaced by W. K. Seltzer, Esq. The will and codicil were admitted to probate by the regis-ter of wills, and letters testamentary Were granted to Jacob Konigmacher and W. K. Seltzer, Esq., who were ap-pointed executors in the codicil. Sam-uel Wolf appealed from the probate of the register to the Orphans' Court and an issue devisayit vel non should not be granted to try the validity of the codicil, Wolf alleging that when it was made Royer was not of sufficient-ly sound mind. Upon argument the Court discharged the rule holding that an executor has no right to test the validity of a will where he is not interested as a legatee.

Some days ago an item appeared in the newspapers concerning some litiga-tion over the estate of a man named Coleman, who had died in Paris, leav-ing several millions. The incident re-called to those who knew of the circum-stances the story of a find of metal in Pennsylvania which for many genera-tions has poured untold riches into the laps of the finders and their descend-ants and which for many generations to come will continue to enrich its possessors and the community. It is, indeed, questionable whether, taking it all in all, it may not in the long run surpass the Klondike, even though all the tales of the riches of that region should be borne out. This find was not one of gold or silver, but of the more useful and humbler metal—iron. There were no nuggets of fabulous value, but it was worth as much, by the ton, as the gold-producing ore of some of the most famous and best pay-ing mines, and all through the history of the Republic it has poured out an undiminished stream of wealth, while its owners have been nabobs and have lived in princely fashion in all the great capitols of the world. LUCKY PETER GRUBB. Some considerable time before the Revolution a man named Peter Grubb, who knew something about iron and its manufacture according to the crude methods which then obtained, made the discovery that there was what seemed to be a good quality of iron ore in a couple of low hills near Lebanon, Pa. It was Lear the surface and easy to mine, and he built a furnace, which he named Cornwall, from the fact that his ancestors had come from that dis-trict in England. At this furnace he made what was considered a large quantity of iron in those days, 24 tons a week, and from his ore banks he supplied several other furnaces. The product was widely sold and the pig iron from Cornwall was sent even to England. At that time the value of the deposit of ore was im-perfectly understood. It was reported to be 40 feet deep and to begin about two feet under the surface. Theso hills are now know to be solid masses of iron ore of the best quality. The deposits extend to unknown depths and cannot be exhausted for centuries. It is one of the richest pockets of iron ore in the world, and as it can be quar-ried in the open air right out of the sides of the hills and loaded directly on cars for a few cents a ton, its value is so much enhanced. Peter Grubb re-mained the owner of these rich hills during the period of the revolution, and at his Cornwall furnaces cast cannon for the Revolutionary army. CANNON FOR THE REVOLUTION. Various relics of that interesting period are still shown at the old fur-nace, which is still intact, though no longer in use. Shortly after the Re-volution Robert Coleman, whose an-cestors came from Ireland, having mar-ried into the Grubb family, acquired an interest in the estate to the extent of one-sixth, and by subsequent purchases increased this to five-sixths. This was about 1875, and was the foundation of the great Coleman estates, which for more than a century remained in the family, though the remaining one-sixth which the Grubbs retained has made rich people of them up to the present. Every development of the iron trade, in the meantime increased the value of these mountains of ore and their ad-juncts. In the course of the century the interests in the Cornwall estates, as they are called, have become somewhat widely distributed through inheritance and descent, but there has been enough at all times to cause the possessor of even a single share to be accounted; rich. Since that time there have been add-ed to the original tract, containing the ore hills, thousands of acres of the sur-rounding rich farming country, includ-ing great tracts of forest on the South Mountain range, and here and there all through these baronial acres are the castles and chateaux of the owners, which are occupied by many of them in summer. On the rich meadows and uplands roam fine cattle and in the stables are hundreds of blooded horses; and as one passes along the highways in the summer season there is convey-ed to one's mind an idea of the wealth of the fortunate possessors of this estate that is not produced by the possessions of any other family in the country. THE COLEMANS. For generations many members of the family have been pretty high roll-ers. Their doings have been heard of in Paris and London, in Berlin, in New York and Washington, but their incomes have been so enormous that rarely, if ever, have their estates been impaired. Generations ago, when the surrounding region abounded more in game than at present, some of them were mighty hunters, and there is a poem by T. Buchanan Read about an old-time Coleman who was angered at the performance of his hounds that in a fit of rage he cast them all into the mouth of a furnace, including one faith ful dog that had once saved his life. Recently, through the misfortune of one of the younger members of the family, a considerable interest in the ore banks has passed into the hands of the Lackawanna Iron and Steel Com-pany, of Scranton, Pa., and it has lost some of its distinctive character as the Coleman estate, but its richness still remains, and year after year, for gen-erations to come, it will continue to yield millions to the heirs and succes-sors of old Peter Grubb. BY THE WAY. A Bachelor's Whims. Now Barabbas was a gasmeter in-spector. Lots of women get married before they can afford it. If there were any other places like home, a man would be more apt to stay there, A girl in bloomers looks just as funny as a man would in a girl's nightgown. Young men like widows because they always know how to look at them sort of doubtfully. Oae disadvantage about angels is that they can never sit down. They can only hover. Women are like watermelons. Some-times the greenest looking ones have the puniest hearts. Men judge other men's religion by their politics; women judge men's poli-tics by their religion. Life is not near so much like a grand, sweet song as it is like a whop-ping big church choir. When a girl has pinned a flower on a man's coat, Bhe always tilts her chin up and looks at it sideways. Most men think they know some-thing till they get married. Then they find their wif9 does and they didn't. When a girl walks with a man she always pretends that she can't keep step because he takes such great strides. When a woman moves to cut down expenses, she always says it was be-cause the other house wasn't good enough. A woman never will believe any good of a widower who doesn't go around ail the time with a pathetic look in his eyes. All babies have an idea that they will get what they want if they cry. If they are boys they get over this by the time they grow up. Life is a good deal like a meal in a restaurant; the dishes you call for are generally just the ones that aren't on the bill of fare. A woman has to get indignant just about so often. If she can't get indig-nant at her husband, she chooses the liquor traffic or the government. Pretty Suicide Ijeft $100,000. New York : Mis3 Jessie K, Parsons,, the pretty young woman who register-ed at the Hotel Manhattan Monday night and killed herself by shooting, left her estate of $100,000 to her aunt, Mrs. Lois Pullen, of Yonkers. The children of her father's first wife will contest her will. Miss Parsons liked, to shoot, ride bicycle and rode horses recklessly. She did not see much in life, she often said. Her lawyer said! that he was convinced that Miss Par-sons' suicide was due to her conviction, that she could never be of any real consequence in the world without a college education, and that she would not be able to learn enough Greek, Latin and higher mathematics in one year, or perhaps in two, to be able to pass the Barnard college examination. A Great Magazine Feature. THE LADIES' HOME JOURNAL has secured what promises to be the great magazine feature of 1898. It is en-titled " The Inner Experience of a Cabinet Member's Wife." In a series of letters written by the wife of a Cabi-net member to her sister at home, are detailed her actual experience in Washington; frankly and freely given. The letters were written without any intention of publication. They give intimate peeps behind the curtain of high official and social life. They are absolutely fearless, they study Wash-ington life under the searchlight as it has never been before presented. The President and the highest officials of the land, with the most brilliant men and women of the Capital, are seen in the most familiar way. As these ar© all actual experiences the name of the writer is withheld. The letters will doubtless excite much shrewd guess-ing by readers and study of internal evidence to discover the secret. The " Experiences," which will be beauti fully illustrated, begin in the Decern eer number and will continue for several months. Interesting Notes and Comments on Persons, Places and Things. ON:E after another we find the props knocked from under us in the way of old-time beliefs, and the teachings of our childhood days often get a rude shock. But that is the way of the world. In this rapid age we are only willing to accept a theory or fact so long as it is not disproved by later re-search and discovery, yet it is true that new ideas and theories are given more attention and thought nowadays than formerly. This is both pleasing and gratifying, as it shows a desire to get at the truth of anything. This was brought forcibly to my mind by an article in Our Animal Friends for September. In old text-books we were told that flies are enabled to walk on the ceiling by means of " suckers" on their feet. No one seemed to disprove this until G. H. Dierhold took the matter up and io a very common sense way shows where somebody else was mistaken in regard to the fly's ability to walk on the ceiling. Anyone might have done this same thing by glancing at a fly's foot* throu*g h a m* icroscope. • THIS, and some later explanations of what is, after all, still something of a mystery, are discossed as follows : " It is a curious fact how our understand-ing of many common and apparently simple things is modified by further investigation. The explanation of how flies walk on the ceiling, as given in some of our old readers, was that each little fly-foot is a miniature air-pump —a theory which is now proved to be fallacious. It was supposed that the bottom of the foot adhered to the glass by suction, all air beneath it being pressed out, so that it was held in place by the pressure of the air with-out; but flies have been known to walk on the inner side of a glass re-ceiver after all the air had been ex-hausted, which shows that they do not need the pressure of the air to uphold them. A microscopic examination of a fly's foot clearly disproves the ' suck-er ' theory, for the foot cushion is cov-ered with hairs which prevent a close contact of the foot with the glass. A later theory, propounded by Hooke, was that flies stick to the glass by means of a viscous fluid substance which exudes from the hairs of their feet. This theory was thoroughly in-vestigated twelve years or so ago by Dr. Rombout, who demonstrated that it was only partly sound, for though these hairs do certainly exude an oily fluid, the fluid is not sticky and does not harden when dried. * * * "IT IS TO Dr. Rombout'd "experiments that science owes what is now regard-ed as the true theory of the walking of flies on smooth substances, that they hang on by the help of capillary ad-hesion— the molecular attraction be-tween folid and liquid bodies. By a series of nice calculations—such as weighing hairs and measuring their diameters and immersing the cut end of a hair in oil or water to make it ad-here when touched to glass—Dr. Rom-bout proyed that capillary attraction would uphold a fly were it four-ninths as heavy again as it is at present. It is true that the foot hairs are very minute, but as each fly is said to be furnished with ten to twelve thousand of them, we need not be surprised at what they can do. * * * " Reasoning from this theory, we might conclude that flies find it diffi-cult to mount a glass lightly dampen ed, because of the repulsion between the watery surface and the oily liquid exuding from the feet, and we might likewise expect them to be impeded by a slight coating of dust because the spaces between the hairs would be fill ed with dust. Careful observation seems to confirm these inferences, When we see a fly make his toilet he is not, as we might suppose, cleaning his body, but his feet, so that they may the more readily adhere. Everyone has noticed how quickly a fly takes flight, even when he has been dozing half an hour in the same position. This new theory makes it easier to un-derstand how he can so readily detach himself, for the air-pressure theory and the ' gum ' theory both implied more or lesa effort in releasing his feet from their involuntary hold." ±. * * WHILE this knowledge may be of no particular benefit to anyone,there is satisfaction in knowing the why and wherefore of things in general.

" Does the new game law permit the buying and selling of rabbits ?" Is now being asked all over this section. Some persons, who have read the law, say yes, while others contend it is against the new act. A member of the Legis-ature told the RECORD that thie new game law was not intended to prohibit the buying and selling of rabbits. Section 2, of the law, gives a list of all the birds that dare not be caught with traps, snares, birdlime, idrugs, etc., and then goes on to say, " Nor shall any person purchase or have in possession, or expose for sale amy of the aforesaid song or wild birds, or the game mammals killed or taken in the state, except as hereinafter provid-ed." A fine of $10 is provided for each violation, or imprisonment in jail for a period of one day for every dol-lar of fine. A number of persons have constructed this 2 i section, so as to mean that rabbits cannot be bought or sold. Section 5 says : " It shall be unlaw-ul at any period of the year to kill any elk, deer, fawn, wild turkey, pheas-ant, grouse, quail, partridge or wood-cock for the purpose of selling the same, and it shall be unlawful for the proprietor, manager, clerk or agent of any market, or other person or co rpora-tion, to purchase, sell or expose for sale any elk, deer, fawn, wild turkey, pheas-ant, grouse, quail, partridge or wood-cock killed or entrapped within this commonwealth." This section, a member of the Lancaster bar contends, states exactly what birds and animals dare " not " be sold or purchased nor purchased for sale. Rabbits are not included in this part of the act. Section 7 states that rabbits ca.n only be killed from Nov. 1 to Dec. 115, and imposes a fine of $10 for every viola tion or imprisonment in jail for one day for each dollar of fine. Section 8 imposes a fine of $25 for hunting rab-bits with ferrets, or one day's imprison-ment for each dollar of the fine. These two sections have the only direct re-ference to rabbits. It is contended, therefore, that as the law mentions by name all the game that dare not be purchased and rabbits not being men-tioned they can be bought and sold. But as there appears to be doubt raised by section 2, the courts may jet have to decide the matter. How to Live a Century. Live as much as possible out of doors, never letting a day pass without spending at least three or four hours in the open air. Keep all the powers of mind and body occupied in congenial work. The muscles should be developed and the mind kept active. Avoid excesses of all kinds, whether of food, drink or of whatever nature they may be. Be moderate in all things. Never despair. Be cheerful at all times. Never give way to anger, Never let the trials of one day oyer to the next. The period from 50 to 75 should not be passed in idleness or abandon-ment of all work. Here is where a great many men fail. They resign all care of interest iu worldly affairs, and rest of body and mind begins. They throw up their business and retire to private life, which in too many casas proves to be a suicidal policy. The Best He Could Do.

John Bellz was killed and another workman injured by the blowing up of Dr. Yeager's power mill, near Nurem-burg, Schuylkill county. The explosion of a dualin cap which 3-year old Clarence Weir, of York-town, found and was trying to open, is likely to cause his death. James Martin, aged 18, who had gone to Johnstown in search of em-ployment, was killed by a Pennsylva-nia Railroad train at that place. At Pittsburg on Saturday John Ross, of Ohio, was robbed of $1200 in cash, and was arrested for creating a dis-turbance because he shot at two men whom he accused of perpetrating the robbery, A 165-acre farm in Berks county was sold recently at public sale for 14.25 an acre leas than was paid for it 22 years ago.

THE AX-CO VERE I) GRINDSTONE.
Though bright to my heart are some scenes
In m y lad time,
Which fond recollection presents to my
view,
One thing I remember that brought me no
j l a d time,
But lent to m y childhood an Indigo hue.
How awiul when sneaking away from my
mother,
As down to the creek with my t a c k l e l f l e d,
To hear father's voice, " One good t u r n needs
another;
Come t u r n a t t h e grindstone t h a t hangs by
t h e shed."
The old crooked grindstone,
The wobbling old grindstone,
The old squeaking grindstone that hung by
the shed.
Ah, many's the hour I've turned it and
grunted,
For i t was the millstone that burdened me
down;
While nuts were to gather a n d squirrels to be
hunted,
There was always an ax or tcythe to be
ground.
I t never was oiled and was hard in t h e turn-ing;
" Only gresse of the elbows it needs,"
father said ;
And the handle would often slip oil without
warning
And instantly tumble me heels over head.
The old dented grindstone,
That worn away grindstone,
I t gathered no moss as it hung by t h e shed;
" This stone," father said, " like earth, turns
on its axis,
But comparison fails on the matter of
force."
I said, "Though the speed of the e a r th ne'er
relaxes,
I am sure it would stop 'neath those axes of
yours."
The nicks they were deep in the ax or the
hatchet,
And father bore on till sweat dropped from
his head ;
If I'd pause to put water on, then I would
catch it ;
Watch the crank and keep on with the
motion," he said.
Oh, t h a t old shaky grindstone,
That slow grinding grindstone,
That hard running grindstone that hung by
the shed!
Yes, dear to my heart are some scenes of my
childhood—
The orchard, t h e cider, the neighbors' peach
trees,
The school hours I pleasantly passed in the
wildwood,
And the honey I stole unbeknownst to the
