Many of tho residences of Christiania Stand villa-like In the midst of pretty gardens, which in summer are full of I bloom and give the streets a peculiar j charm and sense of openness. Within, ! the people live simple, wholesome lives, j kindly and hospitable, with that truest bospitality which invites the guest to share in good cheer without ostentation j or display. Dinner is at l! or 1 o'clock, j served by trim, fresh looking maids, j and supper at 8, where, except on form [ al occasions, the guest is free to forage ! around the table for himself. Host j and hostess drink the health of each guest with the word "skaal," replied to by the eyes over the glass after driuk i ing. Adjourning to the drawing room, I the guests thank both master and nils | tress of the house, and on the next meeting never fall to say, "Thanks for j the last time."

"One peculiarity of human nature I that I am reminded of daily," said a j sculptor, "is the disinclination of the average man to look upon himself re j produced in marble. The sight strikes him with positive dread. It makes liim feel as if he were looking on his own lifeless body. For that reason it • is difficult to persuade many persons worth modeling to sit for a sculptor. Frequently I am asked why most of my work is modeled after dead and | gone subjects. The answer is that liv ing people refuse to give me a eommls ! slon. The art of the sculptor differs there from that of the painter. Every [ body likes to be painted. The sight of one's face, one's figure, one's clothes, In a picture evokes nothing but pleasura ! bio emotions if well done, but to see j oneself carved out of marble produces such an overpowering sense of death that many sensitive persons put off iin j mortalization at tho hands of a seulp | tor until they are really dead."—New ; York Fress. His Brothers. At the usual monthly petty sessions court hell in a certain provincial town ! some weeks ago the following incident occurred: One of the local police constables had summoned a neighboring fanner on a charge of "having a number of asses j wandering at will ou the public road." j The defendant failed to appear, but j his brother was present in the person of the clerk of petty sessions, who on j hearing the sentence of the presiding magistrate. "Fined lis. IM. and costs," rose to the occasion by replying: "They're my brother's, your worship. I'll pay the line." He was shocked when his becoming | exhibition of fraternal love for the asses was rewarded with an outburst of laughter.—London Graphic. Where the Shoe Pinched. It was easy for Mr. Itandall to bear with his wife's remarkable decision or character at all times, but her obsti nacy he found most difficult to endure. "I can't quite comprehend her," he confided to his brother after one try ing experience. "Many years as we have been married, she still surprises me. Why, all in tho same day, some ■ times in the same hour, she will settle | a disturbance in the kitchen, put the j children just where they belong, adjust some matter in the church and then, I when her judgment ought to be at its j best, display the most astounding ob stinacy in attempting to regulate my J goings out or comings in. It's—it's in j comprehensible." Moslem Prayer Rugs. I Prayer rugs were evidently invented for the purpose of providing the wor shipers with one absolutely clean place on which to offer prayers. It Is not lawful for a Moslem to pray on any place not perfectly clean, and unless each one lias bis own special rug he is not certain that the spot has not been polluted. It does not matter to these followers of Mohammed bow unclean a rug that is on the floor may be, because over it they place the prayer rug when their devotions begin. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 1908 Odd Use For Bread. Perhaps the most novel use to which ' dread is put may lie seen in one of our | great watch factories', where more than 1 forty loaves of fresh bread are required j each day. All official of the watch fac j tory is <1 noted its saying "There is no secret regarding the use 1 uf bread in litis factory, and I am will ing to tell si 11 I can concerning it. From Hie earliest times in the history of watchmaking it has been the custom ol' watchmakers to reduce fresh bread to the form of dough. This is done by j steaming and kneading. They then use j this dough for removing oil and chips that naturally adhere in course of ' manufacture to pieces as small as a part of a watch. There are many j parts of a watch, by the way, that are j BO small as to be barely visible to the | Baked eye. The oil is absorbed by this j dough aud the chips stick to it, and there is no other known substance which can be used as a wiper without j leaving some of its particles attached I to the thing wiped. This accounts for i the continued use of bread dough in | the watchmaking industry."—American \ Food Journal. A Quaint Compliment. I On Mark Twain's seventy-second | birthday a Hartford clergyman said of j him: | "Xo wonder lie finds happiness in old | age. All the aged would lie happy if j they were as sympathetic and its kind i us he. He is continually going out of I his way to please others, and the result | is that he is continually pleasing him j self. Listen, for instance, to the quaint j compliment he paid me the last time he came to hear me preach. He waited for me ;it the church door at the serv ice's end and. shaking me bv the hand, said gravely: j "'1 mean 110 offense, but I feel oblig | -d to tell you that the preaching this morning lias been of a kind that I can spare. I goto church, sir, to pursue my own train of thought, but today I couldn't do it. You interfered with me. You forced me to attend to you aud lost ine a full half hour. 1 beg I that this may not occur again."' Philosophy of Descartes. j Turning the mental vision inward, as i Bacon turned it outward, Descartes I watched the operations of the soul as jan object in a microscope. Resolved i to believe nothing but upon evidence ' so convincing that h • could not by 1 any effort refuse? his ascent, he found j as he inspected his beliefs that he ! could plausibly doubt everything but 5 his own existence. Here at last was i the everlasting rock, aud this was re j vealed in his own consciousness; hence i his famous "Cogito ergo sum" (I think, j therefore I am). Consciousness, said he, is the basis of certitude. Interro j gate it and its clear replies will be ] science, for all clear ideas are true. | Down in the depths of the mind is the i idea of the infinite perfection—the | mark of the workman impressed upon ! his work. Therefore God exists.—New ; York American. Science and Sound Fact. ; "The workings of the human mind | when asleep are full of wonder," re ' marked a scientist who was paying a visit to an acquaintance. "Have you ! ever started up from a sound dream j less sleep, with every sense 011 the j alert and with your whole being thrill ed with a vivid yet indefinable feeling t that something was wrong and instant action required?" "Often," replied his hostess, "and iu nearly every case I have found that 1 was awakened by the fumbling of my I husband's key at the front door!" Impertinent. Speaking of a man noted for liis im pertinence, an acquaintance said: "Blank's impudence was second only to that of a waiter I heard about the other day. " 'Look here, waiter,' said -a guest, 'tills iisli is not cooked properly.' "'I know it, sir,' said the waiter, 'but you told me it was for your wife.' "'Well, what of that?' asked the sur prised guest. " 'Why,' said the waiter, 'I knew that if the lady was your wife she couldn't bo very particular.' " Realism In Art. Two artists were boasting how they could paint. "Do you know," said one, "1 painted a sixpence on the ground one day, and a beggar nearly broke his lingers trying to pick it up!" "That's nothing to what I did," said the other, j "I painted a leg of mutton on a stone, and it was so realistic that a dog ate I half the stone before he found out his j mistake!" His Narrow Escape. "X tell you. the closing of the Steenth I National was it mighty close call for t me." "How was that?" J "Why, a friend had advised me to put my money in it and"— "And you took his advice?" "No. but I would if I'd had any mon ey."—Philadelphia Ledger. Not the Kind He Wanted. "Little Willie ran away to hunt red skins." "Yes?" "But he didn't tind any until his fa ther had finished with him."—Harper's Weekly. Ungallant. "My face is my fortune, sir," she said. "Well," he replied, "poverty is no dis grace, but it's awfully inconvenient at times." The Wicked Husband. "V' ('■ 1 !!e (f> his wife?' ask? a\ 1 ■ " r me, doo he? Deb. '1 '!d.

In the year 115 the city of Antioch and a great part of the adja cent country were buried by an earth quake. About 300 years after it was again destroyed, along with 40,000 in habitants, and after an interval of six ty years was a third time overturned, with the loss of not less than 00,000 souls. In 1002 the city of Port Royal, in Jamaica, was destroyed by an earth quake, and the houses sauk into a gulf forty fathoms deep. In 101)3 an earth quake occurred in Sicily which either destroyed or greatly damaged fifty four cities. The city of Catalonia was Utterly overthrown, 19,000 inhabitants of the city perishing in the ruins. In 1755 Lisbon was destroyed by an earthquake, and It buried under its ruins above 50,000 inhabitants. In Au gust, 1822, two-thirds of the city of Aleppo, containing a population of 200,- 000, were destroyed by tin earthquake. Thirty thousand of its inhabitants were buried in the ruins. Held Down the Speaker. The sanctity of the speaker is an In violable law of parliamentary England, yet once the necessities of the nation were so great that an assault and bat tery had to be made upon his sacred person. It was in the third parliament of Charles I. that the angry commons framed their petition of rights. This cut at the very root of the king's pre rogative, and among those in the house who opposed it was Mr. Speaker. Upon Sir John Elliott moving its acceptance the speaker essayed to leave the chair, which would, of course, have proved fatal to the bill. But they were ready for him, and Ilollis and Valentine seiz ed him, one on each side, and literally held him in the chair until the for mality of the reading was over. So vital was the petition considered that Cromwell said in the lobby afterward, "Had we been defeated I should have left England tonight."—London Chroni cle. Undodgeable Taxes. "In the past," said the tax assessor, "governments were wiser. They levied taxes that could not be sworn off. There was.for instance, the English birth tax of the seventeenth century. A laborer paid 2 shillings as birth tax: a duke paid £3O. You couldn't get round it. "Burials were taxed, according to the station of the dead, from a shilling to £25. That, too, could not be dodged. "Marriages were taxed. A duke to marry paid £SO; .it common person, like yourself, paid half a crown. "In those days you paid a tax on every servant, on every dog, on every horse, on your carriage, your hearth, your windows, watches, clocks, wigs, hair powder, plate, ribbons, bricks, coal, gauze and candles."—Cincinnati Enquirer. A Madman's Strange Belief. An unfortunate maniac was confined ill one of the Scottish lunatic asylums, his particular infirmity being an un shakable belief that every day was Christmas day and that he was din ing sumptuously on turkey or roast beef and a good slice of plum pud ding. 11 is real diet, however, was of the plainest, he being served twice daily with a dish of oatmeal porridge. After daily describing to his attendants tin? pleasures lie had tasted in his cut of turkey or what not he as regularly added, "Yet, somehow or other, every thing that I eat tastes of porridge." This story it was which gave rise to the saying, "As palatable as the mad man's porridge." Some Famous Salt Lakes. The Dead sea is forty miles long and nine miles wide. The Great Salt lake is seventy miles long and eighty miles wide, the largest body of brine in the world. There is evidence to show that once the Great Salt lake was at least 350 miles in length and 150 in width, nine times its present area. The Dead sea contains about 24 per cent of sol ids, one-third of which is pure salt, while of the 23 per cent of solid mat ter in the waters of Great Salt lake nearly all is salt. Not a Question of Grammar. The green reporter turned to Editor McKelway. "Which should I say," he asked hesitatingly, " 'My boy Ilenry laid an egg on the table?' " "Well," said Editor McKelway im patiently. "if you want something to crow over, and lie's that kind of a hen nery, let him lay it on the table if lie can. Otherwise have him put it there." —Judge. His Distinction. . u solemn funeral procession, slowly wending its way up the slope from the church to the grave, was intercepted by the old verger, who, pulling bis forelock in the usual rustic style, ad dressed the clergyman, whispering In a confidential manner: "Please, sir, corpse's brother wishes to speak to yer!"— London Tit-Bits.
