Bellefonte, Pa., March 3, 1905.
Road 5,000 Years Old.
The road from Homs to Hama runs
almost due north, a straight white line
cutting across the green fields. It is
one of the oldest routes in the world.
Caravans have been passing along it
for at least 5,000 years, just as we
saw them—long strings of slow mov-
ing camels with their bright colored
bags of wheat.
One could almost imagine that Pha-
raoh was again calling down the corn
of Hamath to fill his granaries against
the seven years of famine. But even
here the old things are passing. Just
beyond the long line of camels was a
longer line of fellah women, their dirty
blue robes kilted above their knees,
carrying upon their shoulders baskets
of earth and stone for the roadbed of
the new French railway.
The carriage road is French, too, and
a very good road it is. Some men were
repairing it with a most ingenious
roller. It was a great round stone,
drawn by two oxen and having its
axle prolonged by a twenty foot pole,
at the end of which a barelegged Arab
was fastened to balance the whole af-
fair. If the stone had toppled over
the picture of the Arab dangling at the
top of the slender flagstaff would have
been worth watching.
All along the ride we were reminded
of the past. It is a fertile soil, but the
very wheatfields are different from
ours. Only a few yaras In width, they
are often of tremendous length. I hes-
itate to commit myself to figures, but
it is certain that the thin, green fields
would stretch away in the distance un-
til lost over some little elevation. At
one place the road was cut through a
hill honeycombed with rock tombs
which the haj said were Jewish.
Every now and then we passed a tell,
or great hemispherical mound, built up
of the rubbish of a dozen ruined towns,
for even as late as Roman times this
was a well cultivated and populous
country. There is now no lumber
available for building purposes, and in
a number of villages the houses are all
built with conical roofs of stone.
Where the rock happens to be of a
reddish tinge the houses remind one of
nothing so much as a collection of In-
dian wigwams. Where the stone is
white, as at Tell et Biseh, it glitters
and sparkles like a fairy city cut out
' of loaf sugar.—Secribner’'s Magazine. '

A Fish’s Appetite.
A singular instance of tenacity in the
digestion of fish is reported from Shef-
field, England. The fish, which was a
ling four feet long, had what appear-
ed to be an abnormally hard liver. But
the cutting up process revealed some-
thing far stranger. The supposed hard
liver turned out to be nothing else but
a piece of stout netting, over two yards
long and fourteen inches wide, which
had been pressed. into the form of a
football. How this great mass of in-
digestible material came to be swal-
lowed by the creature is a mystery,
and the suggestion that the fish caught
in the toils of a fisherman's net solved
the problem of how to escape by de-
vouring his prison walls is not consid-
ered scientifically practicable.
Marks of lilness on Nails.
“One who makes a close study of
finger nails will find many curious
things about them to excite his won-
der and interest,” says an expert on
such matters, “but none more so than
the stories of physical condition told in
their growth.
“You know that the nail of a person
in good health grows at the rate of
about one-sixteenth of an inch each
week—slightly more than many au-
thorities believe—but during illness or
after an accident or during times of
mental depression this growth is not
only affected and retarded so far as
Its length is concerned, but also as re-
gards its thickness. The very slight-
est illness will thus leave an indelible
mark on the nails which may be read-
ily detected as the nail grows out. If
one has a sudden attack, such as acute
rheumatism, which sends the temper-
ature bounding upward to 104 or 105
within the space of two or three hours,
it will be found on the nails, indicating
the difference in thickness of growth
between the time when health was en-
joyed and the thin growth of the ill pe-
riod.
“If the illness is one that comes grad-
ually, like typhoid fever, for example,
instead of a ridge a gentle incline
will appear on the nails. Should one
have an arm broken the thick ridge
can be seen only on the fingers of the
one hand, but in all cases of general
sickness the ridge or slope appears on
the fingers of both hands. When one
has passed through a period of extreme
‘excitement or mental depression, the
fact will be imprinted on the nails ei-
ther with an abrupt edge or a gentle
slope, according to the acuteness of
the mental influence.
“In no instance can the marks of ill-
ness, accident or mental condition be
clearly seen on the nail until after the
growth has carried the line beyond the
white or half moon portion of it, but a
week or two subsequent to any of these
things the ridge or slope may be found
on the nails, usually readily visible to
the eyes, but if not the mark may be
found by running the tip of the finger
down any of the nails.”—St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
STRANGE CHECKS.
The Odd Assortment Collected by
One Bank Clerk.
A torn linen collar, a piece of lath, a
cuff and a half dozen other odd ob-
jects hung above the bank clerk’s desk.
“My collection of queer checks,” the
young man said. “Each of those things
Is a check. Each was duly honored.
Each has a story.
“I have been collecting queer checks
for three years. That piece of lath
started me. A western bank honored
the lath for $250. It was made out as
a check by the owner of a sawmill, who
was out at the plant with his son, thir-
ty miles from any house, and totally
| without paper, let alone a check book.
' The money was needed to pay off the
hands. The sawmiller wrete on the
lath just what a check correctly drawn
has on it, and he sent his son in to the
bank to get the money and to explain.
The lath check was honored after some
discussion among the bank’s officers.
“The cuff check was drawn by an
actor who had become slightly intoxi-
‘cated, got into a fight and been arrest-
ed. He was treated cavalierly in his
cell. They wouldn’t give him any pa-
per, and he bribed a boy to take the
check to a bank. The boy got the
money, and with it the actor paid his
fine. Otherwise he’d have been jailed
for ten days. Thus the cuff check may
be said to have saved a man from pris-
on.
“The check written on that linen col-
lar won a bet of $5. A man bet a wo-
man that a check made on a collar
would be cashed, and of course he won
his bet. :
“Your bank, if you carry a good ac-
count, will honor the most freaky
checks you can draw up. In such mon-
key business, though, it won't encour-
age you.”—Chicago Chronicle.
Eve’s Apple.
A botanical friend showed me not
long since what he said was the ap-
ple that must have tempted Eve in
what was surely a tropical fruit gar-
den. It was a little bit of an oriental
crab, about a third of an inch in di-
ameter, and, of course, it was bitterly
sour! My philosophizing friend point-
ed out that, of course, the fruits in
Eden were the natural “wild” fruits,
and he was wondering whether the fall
of mankind would not have been ac-
celerated if the attracting tree had
been hung with a fair crop of the
tempting golden or crimson varieties of
today.—Country Life In America.
