Once, in the absence of his secretary, he undertook to write an or der for the transferring of some pro visions, and spelled "wagon""waggon." Later, the secretary in looking through the various memoranda, etc., found the order and detected the error. "General," he asked affably, "l>y what authority do you si>ell 'wagon' with a double 'g'V" Scott never turned a hair as he re plied without a moment's hesitation: "By what authority? By the au thority of the major general command ing the armies of the United States, sir! What better authority do you want?" Stupid Husband of a Noted Slnjrer. Catalani's husband, a handsome Frenchman, was even more unlntellec tual than his wife—he was stupid. Once, having found tlie pitch of the piano too high, she said after the re hearsal to her husband: "The piano is too high. Will you see that it is made lower before the concert'/" When the evening came, Catulani was annoyed to find that the piano had not been altered. Her husband sent for the carpenter, who declared that he had sawed off two inches from each leg, as lie had been ordered to do. "Surely it can't be too high now, my dear!" said the stupid husband sooth ingly. Insurance Accident. The usual odds laid by an accident company are £I,OOO to £4 that you do not die from an accident in a year. Supposing that the whole population of the country were insured against ac cidents in one office, each person pay ing £4 and being guaranteed £I,OOO in ca*e of death by mishap, the premiums would reach the figure of £149,740,808, and the sum to be paid for deaths would amount to £14.008,000, leaving, after the deduction of a few millions for working expenses, the very respect able profit of £130.000,000. London Tit-Bits. Told Mlic Truth. Excited Fisherman (to country hotel Sseeper)—There' isn't a bit of fishing about here! Every brook lias a sign warning people off. What do you mean by luring anglers here with the promise of fine fishing? Hotel Keeper—l didn't say anything about line fishing, if you read my ad vertisement carefully, you wilt see that what I said was, "Fishing unapproach able." Theory and I'raettce. .A chemist, expatiating on chemical science, observed that snow bad been found to possess a considerable degree of heat. A man present at this remark ob served that truly chemistry was a val uable science, but he would like to know what number of snowballs would bo sufficient to boil a teakettle. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, DECEMIiER iB, 1902. Ill* Xnnie Obliterated. In some country districts In Ireland It is not unusual to see tlie owners' names simply chalked on carts and other vehicles, in order to comply with legal regulations. Unfortunately, this custom lends Itself to the playing of pranks on the part of "bhoys" mali ciously inclined, who sometimes rub off the lettering and thereby gets the cart owner into trouble with the police. A case of this kind having occurred, a constabulary sergeant accosted a coun tryman whose name had been thus wiped out unknown to him: "Is this cart yours, my good man?" "Af coorse it is," was the reply; "do you see any thing the matter wid it?" "I obsarve," said the pompous policeman, "that your name is o-blitherated." "Then ye'r wrong," quoth the countryman, who had never come across the long dictionary word before, "for me name's O'Reilly, an' I don't care who knows it!"— Liverpool Post. I'eetlnK n I'enrl. The lapidary was skinning a pearl, according to the Philadelphia Record. He had on gloves of a very delicate sort of kid and the glasses that he wore had lenses of such great magnify ing power that Ills eyes through tlieni looked as big as saucers. "I wear gloves," he said, "because the hands perspire freely In this work, and per spiration lias often been known to dis color pearls. This stone was injured by the accidental dropping on It of some acid. The disaster discolored it, you see. With this very delicate little tool I am removing the outer skin, and If I find that the acid has filtered through and discolored the inner skin also I may remove that as well. A pearl, you see, is composed of concen tric layers or skins, and you can, if you are a clever workman, peel It down and down until it disappears." KIIIVCM and Tomuliuwk*. John Chalmers, the missionary friend of Robert Louis Stevenson, and every inch a man, once telegraphed to Eng land: "Getting in trim for next sea sou. Ask Jones send one gross toma hawks; one gross butchers' knives. Going east; try make friends between tribes." London was convulsed over the mis sionary's peculiar way of promoting friendship with the New Guinea canni bals, says a writer in the Rochester Post-Express. Chalmers had learned that no other two articles were so llke l*' to do this. The knife and the toma hawk were popular for purposes of barter among people who would hav« had no use for copies of the "Encyclo paedia Britanuica" or cuts from a fash ion magazine. The telegram was in congruous only to the ignorant. Pupa tViiM Seen. She—You will ask papa, will you notV Or must I ? He—Oh, I have seen him.

A recent writer on Holland's famous watering place says: "At Scbevening en, if you wish to keep away from the grand suburb and eat among the old fashioned folk of the fishing village, the people of that interesting 'dorp' wili give you a delicious breakfast, tin staple of which will be sweet rye bread fresh butter of the finest quality and incomparable herring. If you want o real Dutch lunch, It will consist of ry« bread and cheese, with a glass of rick milk. The milk has some curious and picturesque associations. In the early morning—again if you keep to the old quarters—you will see the dogs, whiel are universal beasts of burden in tlu Netherlands, dragging the little milk j carts. The "barrels are brightly painted ] and are mounted with shining brass j And, while the milk carts are going ! round, the maids—gent<rally plump and ! twaddled In manifold skirts which ! give them the aspect of abnormal lati | tude—are bustling about with the pail i and mop and that 'glazen spuit' which ! is one of the most cherished of Dutch ; domestic institutions. It is a great 1 brass squirt with which windows and shutters are energetically sluiced." The Conductor's Baton. According to the investigations of a i Frenchman the credit of inventing the conductor's baton belongs to Lully, the composer, who eventually had cause to regret his invention. Before he adopted tlie baton conductors were In the habit of pounding on the fitwr with their feet or clapping their hands to mark the time. Lully found it wearisome to keep his foot constantly in motion and so used a stick to strike the floor and beat time. He used a pole six feet long. One day he brought down the pole with such force that It struck his foot and made a deep wound. He paid no attention to the matter. The wound grew worse and ultimately caused his death. After his time conductors tried more and more to improve the baton, and it was ultimately brought to Its present form. The Tricky Fox. A gentleman while hunting near a river one winter day saw a fox run out on the ice and make at full speed for an opening in the ice where the rushing water of the river could be plainly seen from the bank, says the Scotsman. At the edge he stopped, turned, followed hi.s tracks back to the bank and then ran some distance down the stream and sat there. Soon a dog came crashing out of the woods, bay ing finely, hot on the fox's trail. Now, i dogs when on a chase of this kind trust almost entirely to their noses. This one was no exception. lie ran along the ice, head down, and when lie reached the hole he could not stop, but plunged into the water and disap peared 1 forever. Then the fox trotted away with every sign of satisfaction. fThe superiority of some men is mere s' local; they are great because their j Ussociates are little. Sizerville. W. K.
