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
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.

Appeal in Samuel Royer's Estate.
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.

Lucky Peter Grubb—Cannon for the
Revolution—The Colemans.
From t h e Pittsburg Times.
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.

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.

About the Sale of Rabbifsi.
" 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.
