Bewovai ftnn Bellefonte, Pa., March 5, 1909. ETT Making It Plain. Henri was paying his first visit to London and was already wishing him- self home in gay Paree, for he knew not a word of English. He had been very unfortunate and had lost all his luggage, a toothbrush. So he deter mined to buy another. But how wus he to make his needs understood? At last his luck turned, however, and he espied a chemist's shop with a notice outside, “Ici on Parle Francais.” In he went and told the assistant in French what he wanted. But that as- sistant knew no language except Eng. lish, and another who came to help him was just as far at sea. But the proprietor was an intelligent man, and he knew at once from the cut of the customer's clothes that he was speaking French. “Leave him to me.” he said, with a superior smile, Then, forming a megaphone with his hands, he shouted in the Frenchman's ear: “Our assistant who speaks French is out at lunch. You'll have to wait!"— London Scraps. Swordsmen of the Sea. The swordsmen of the sea are the eawfisher, spearfishes, sailfishes, sword- fishes and the narwhal, with its spiral ly twisted straight tusks. The saw- fishes inhabit the warmer seas, while the narwhal is a creature of the arctic. The tusk of the narwhal is hollow nearly to the point and is spirally grooved. It uses its tusk as a weapon of defense and to plunge through the ice to breathe, the narwhal being a cetacean. Sometimes when a boat has been caught in the ice great damage has been inflicted by the inquisitive- ness or blundering of this great crea- ture, that sometimes reaches a length of fifteen feet, with a tusk of from six to ten feet in length. As a rule, how- ever, the narwhal uses its tusk for the purpose of killing fish for food. In the castle of Rosenberg the kings of Den- mark have long possessed a magnifi- cent throne made of tusks of this cetacean. ‘These tusks are harder and whiter than ivory. Beavers Train Their Young. Naturalists have placed the beaver a Jong way down in the list of verte- brates, but it undoubtedly stands next to man in the variety of occupations in which it engages. All cats are hunt- ers, while foxes that are not thieves may be included also among the Nim- rods. All canaries are prima donnas, and monkeys make clever comedians, but it is only the beaver parent that educates its children to take up several trades. In a single colony among them you wili find civil and marine engi- neers, woodchoppers, raftsmen, labor- ers, quurryinen, miners, plasterers, masons, carpenters, hodearriers and fishermen. All beavers take contracts for building dams, but when the work is undertaken the task is so divided that each member of the colony has its own particular work to look after. In this way they make some wonderful excavations and construct their dams in an incredibly short time. Marry and Part For a Year. Among the many peculiar customs prevalent among the people of Central America is that of parting for one year after the marriage ceremony has been solemnized. This custom has prevatled among the Jarnos from time immemo- rial. There is no courtship allowed to be carried on between the parties prior to the wedding. When a man selects a woman he obtains the consent of the parents on both sides, and if this is given they are ai once married. The reason, however, for their not living together as man and wife for one year after marriage is in order to permit of the parties visiting and staying with their respective friends in different parts of the country, which is a cus- tomary thing and occupies the time specified. Ninety-nine out of a hundred of these marriages turn out well. A Chance to Spoon. A young couple from the suburbs went to Dublin the otber day to see the pantomime. Being early. they vis. ited a tea room and had the place all to themselves. The attending waitress had omitted in serving them to supply the necessary implement to effectually assist in the proper and palatable ad- mixture of the tea, cream and sugar. “Can we have a spoon?’ inquired the swain. “Certainly,” replied the observant at- tendant. “lI am just tidying up, and you can have the whole room to your- selves in a minute or two.”—Liverpool Mercury. Holding His Job. “I think the man who works at that place across the street is the most faithful and conscientious workman | ever saw. He never takes a holiday and always labors away till it's too dark to see any longer.” “Faithful workman! Great Scott! He's the proprietor of the shop!” — Chicago Tribune. The Fireside Diplomat. “1 don’t want to be nagging at you," Mrs. Marryat began, “but it's the little things that bother me most"— “Ah! interrupted her husband sweet- ly. “I suppose you're going to tell me you haven't a decent pair of shoes.” Philadelphia Press. Homemade. “We are told to cast our bread upon the waters,” said a young wife. “But don't you do it,” replied her husband. “A vessel might run against It and get wrecked.” —Simplicissimus. : The on His Watch. In “Memories of Eight Parliaments” Mr. Lucy, the author, tells a story about Mr. Pyne, member for West Wa- terford, who, when under the crimes act a warrant was issued for his arrest in 1887. shut himself up in his Irish home, Lisfarney castle, had the trench. es filled with water, the drawbridge up, took in supplies by a window in the battlements and thus lived for months, while he poked fun at the po- licemen who were wandering about below with the warrant in their pock- ets. “The originality of Mr. Pyne's mind.” continues Mr. Lucy, “was further indi- cated upon his watch. On its dial he had roughly engraved ‘Pay no rent. Whenever in troubled times any of his neighbors came to him for advice as to what they should do in the presence of a demand for rent, Mr. Pyne solemnly shook his head. ‘I cannot. he said. ‘express my views or the subject, for Mr. Balfour says they are illegal. But I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll show you what time of day it is,” and, holding out his watch, the perturbed tenant read upon it the admonitory legend. ‘Pay no rent.’ ” Laws Against Beggars. Begging was a capital offense in England in the days of Henry VIIL, when the laws were very severe against beggars, and under a statute passed in that reign any one caught begging for the first thine, being nel ther aged nor infirm, was whipped at the cart's tail, If caught a second time his ear was slit or bored through with a hot fron. If caught a third time he suffered death as a felon unless some honest person having £10 in goods or 40 shillings in land or some householder approved by the justices would take the offender into his serv- ice for two years, entering into a bond of £10. So the law of England remain- ed for sixty years. First enacted by Henry VIII. it continued unrepealed through the reigns of Edward and Mary. Reconsidered under Elizabeth, the same law was aguin formally pass- ed, the two legislative houses thereby expressing their conviction that it was to live the life of a beggar. Tainted Diamonds. The lapidary was about to cut the mond. “The chances are,” he said, “that this fellow will turn white from terror when 1 split him. If he does his value will go up 200 per cent.” The lapidary set his steel knife in position. He prepared to strike on the knife’s back the momentous blow. “Wish me nck.” he said. And the hnmmer fell, the amputated tail dropped into the box underneath, and, lo, the yellow diamond that had been split was now quite white. “The yellow taint.” the cutter ex- plained, “was only in the tail. Yet form yellow throughout. Now the taint is gone, and our yellow diamond is a pure white one. “The miracle happens fairly often.” =Philadeiphid Bulletin. ’ Epigrams o of an Indian. Chief Joseph of the Nez Perces was a truly remarkable Indian. He spoke, but when he did his lips drop- ped wisdom. Here are & few of the sayings attributed to him: “Look twice at a two faced man.” “Cursed be the hand that scalps the reputation of the dead.” “The eye telis what the tongue would hide.” “Fire water courage ends in trem- bling fear.” “Big name often stands on small legs.” “Finest fur meat.” “When you get the last word with an echo you may do so with a squaw.” may cover toughest Fish, Chicken and Veal.
