| Ae Bellefonte, Pa., January |, Overlord of the Sea and the Daintiest Feeder That Swims. The swordiish is the overlord of the gen. Neither the whale, the shark nor any other giant of the deep can con- quer him in private fight or public brawl. Nevertheless he is peaceful in the main and seeks the simple life amusing himself often with worldwide travel and always with delicate gusta- tory joys. He is the daintiest feeder that swims, always kills his own game and thereby insures its freshness. wherefore his flesh is a delight to the palate of mankind and wherefore, again, men go forth to kill him for market and thereby at times fall upon adventures that make the hunting of tigers and the shooting of grizzlies pale into pastimes for the weary weakling. For the bold swordfish is still hunted in mode as primitive as that the Eski- mo uses to kill the stupid whale, and often the sting of the harpoon changes this luxurious ocean gastronome into a raging water devil, quick to perceive his advantage, charging with the speed of a bullet and the accuracy of a swordsman up against the lone fisher- man in the dory who tries to bring him to gaff. Then must the fisherman measure with exactness the lunge of the monster, avold it by a marvel of nice sidestepping in a plunging dory. or he will be spitted like a lark.—Wil- liam Inglis in Harper's Weekly. CHANCES IN GAMBLING. The Rule of the Unexpected at the Tables In Monte Carlo. There are systems, some will say. that will defeat the bank at Monte Carlo. 1 have not found one. Two factors settle all systems. One is the bank's limit, which prevents the dou- bling system so often advocated; the second, the extraordinary idiosyncrasies of chance. Red or black will often run in long series. I saw fifteen vel: come up in succession on one occasion, seventeen uneven numbers in an un- broken series on another. One even- ing on a losing day I was playing cn the first six numbers and persistently for some hours the last twelve nu: bers invariably turned up. Once I saw 21 come up four times in succession when mathematically it should have taken 144 coups to make it shew tha! number of times, and still more strang: that on this occasion each time it came up a gentleman had staked the limit on the number—namely, 150 francs—winning In ten minutes sone: thing over 24.000 francs. One readil: gees by these instances the unexpecte! very often happens—in fact, more « ten that not.—Arthur Hewitt in Ilo hemian Magazine. ; The Hog. No other animal has been more modi fled by civilization and none reverts more quickly to the original wild type than the hog. Three generations of running wild suffice to turn the smooth, round, short snouted razor back or hazel splitter thin, lank, legey. lop eared, gaarp snouted, an Ishmael in bristles, running like a deer, if run. ming be possible, fighting as only = wild hog can fight when battle is in perative. The tusks, which have been half obliterated in the process of civl lzaticr, zeit back size and strength At a year oid they are formidable. at two murderous, at three or five mors deadly than a sword. They afford ° certain index of age up to six years but are commonly broken in fight: long before that time. Wild boars are very ill tempered and when worsted in fighting often revenge themselves bv ripping the bark from trees as high as they can reach. —————— Her Exercise. Many readers think insufficient exer- cise is responsible for worrying moods “Dare 1 whisper it,” writes one cor- respondent. “Though I am a marrie! woman, with two bonnie bairns, when my worries and temper prove too much for me I shut myself up in my room and dance a wild Scotch reel. 1 a! ways did it when I got In a temper ns a child as a sort of vent to my feel ings, and I ds it still and probabil: shall continue to do so as long as I'm sufficiently energetic.” Certainly a Scotch reel ought to pro- vide enough exercise to exorcise any demon of worry if lack of exercise !s the cause of it.—Home Chat. A Bad Quarrel. “Why don’t you try to get him to straighten up?” “He's his own worst enemy.” “Well 7" “It's pretty hard to patch up that kind of a quarrel.” —Louisville Courier Journal. Describing the Climate. “Is your climate changeable?’ askei the stranger. “Not very,” answered Farmer Corn- tossel. “It keeps shiftin’ around a little till it strikes a kind of weather nobody likes: then it sticks." —Wash. ington Star. : Just Like Her. Hewitt—1 didn’t know that you lived on the first floor. I understood your wife to say that you lived on the =ec- ond floor. Jewett—If you knew m- wife you would know that she always stretches a story.—Exchange. They Married. Trotter (who has been abroad)—So Maud and Charlie finally married? Miss Homer—Yes. Trotter—1 suppose they are happy. Miss Homer—TUu- doubtedly; they each married some one else. — Chicago News, mt ese A AE A MEMORY OF THE PAST. The Unalloyed Joy That Came With the Little Red Scarf. “] was wondering the other day what one thing had given me the most pleasure in the world,’ said the village deacon. “I had to go back a long ways—clear back into the blessed San- ta Claus days—but 1 recalled it. It was a scarf 1 found in my stocking one bright Christmas morning. 1 got a red one, and my brother got a blue ope. 1 was a mighty proud boy that worning as 1 trudged downtown with that red scarf around my neck. I wore it every day until the birds be- gan to sing in the springtime and the kids were hunting up their marbles, I don’t now remember who gave it to me nor what became of it, but I do know that the memory of it still clings like a benediction, “Since the days of that little red scarf I have had things of far more intrinsic value. I have worn lodge emblems of high degree; 1 have had a gold watch and chain; I once had = pair of shoes that cost $5 and a neck tie that cost twice as much as the lit- tle red scarf. Nay, more, I once tackled a plug hat. But among these things do 1 recall none that gave me such genuine and unalloyed pleasure, such a swelled up feeling, as did that little red scarf way back in the days when the wolf sat out in the road and howled, 'Tis the little red scarf days that stir the memory with ‘It mighi have been.’ "Osborn (Kan,) Farmer. PLAIN JOHN SMITH. How His Name Changes In Various Parts of the World. John Smith—plain John Smith—Is not very high sounding: It does not sug gest aristocracy; it Is not the name of any hero in die away novels, and ye! it is good, strong and honest. Trans ferred to other languages, it seems to climb the ladder of respectabilits Thus in Latin it is Johannes Smithus: the Italinu smooths it off into Giovan- ni Smithi; the Spaniards render it Juan Smithus: the Dutchman adopts it as Hans Schmidt; the French flaiten it out into Jean Smeet, and the Rus slan sneezes and barks Jonloff Smit towski. When John Smith gets int: the tea trade in Canton he become Jovan Shimu:nit; if he clambers abou! Mount Hecla, the lcelanders say he is Jahne Smithson; if he trades among the Tuscaroras he becomes Ton Qn Smittia; in Poland he Is known as Ivan Schmittiweiski; should he wan der among the Welsh mountains the; talk of Jihon Schmidd; when he goes to Mexico he ig booked as Jontli F'Smittl; if of classic turn and he lin: gers among Greek ruins he turns te Ion Smikton, and in Turkey he is ut terly disguised as Yoe Seef.—Phreno logical Journal. Mystery of a Cookbook. Somebody mentioned cookbooks. “It takes a good deal to make me wonder,” said the publisher, “but | received « jolt in the culinary line the other day that set me thinking. I» looking over the manuscript of a cook book that had been submitted for our approval 1 was struck by this intro duction to many of the recipes, ‘Good for boarding house table. “Now, why that diserimination? Isn't anything that Is good enough fo: a boarding house table good enough for any other table, and isn't anything that is good enough for any other t: ble goud enough for a boarding hou: table? Judging by the way those par ticular recipes read, they may resu’ in some rather tasty dishes. The why limit them to boarding houses” —New York Globe. His Successor. Shortly after the death of one of England's greatest poets a devoted nu mirer of his visited the little West- morland villages where the poet hall lived and died to gaze revereutly at his house, the little church and at some of his favorite haunts where some of his immortal poems were coin- posed. Seeing un old man a native of the village), the stranger entered into con- versation with him, remarking sadly on the death of the poet, to which the old wan answered kindly and encour agingly: “Aye, aye, still I mak’ na doobt but ! wife 'll carry the bizness on." Brief and Pithy. An American law journal has quot. ed the charge to a jury delivered by a certain Judge Donovan as the shortest on record, The judge said: “Gentlemen of the jury, if you be lieve the piaintiff find a verdict fo: plaintiff and fix the amount. If you believe the defendant find a verdict for defendant. Fellow the officer.” But an English periodical caps this brief charge by quoting a shorter one delivered by Commissioner Kerr. He said to a jury: “That man says prisoner robbed hin. The prisoner says he didn’t. You sei. tle it.” Plagiarism. At the literary club a sympatheti crowd surrounded the humorist, whoso house had been robbed. “They cleaned out everything” sald the man—*everything, but, thank good ness, they didn't swipe from my desk the manuscript column of jokes fo: next week's paper.” “Perhaps they knew,” suggested u sonneteer cynically, “that the jokes had already been swiped.”—New Or ieans Times-Demeerat.

Every man believes as a part of his nat- aural creed, that ‘‘we are fearfully and wonderfully made,” yet he bas uo more real appreciation of the fact in which he believes than in many awother fact funda- mental to his creed. He protects his watch, wraps it in chamois, winds it regu- larly, carefully eshielde it from magnetic influences, and will allow no undue shock to jar its mechanism. But how does he cate for the far finer mechanism of his body ? Itshould be fed with the same regularity thas the watch is wound, it should be properly protected from exterior influences or sudden shocks, instead of which it is fed irregulatly, indifferently protected, and subject to every shook which indifference permits or hardihood invites.
