21, 1909. Bellefonte, Pa., May Largest Family on Record. In the Harlelan manuscript, Nos. 78 and 980, in the library of the British museum mention is made of the most extraordinary family that has ever been known in the world’s history. The parties were a Scotch weaver and his wife (not wives), who were the father and mother of sixty-two chil- dren. The majority of the offspring of this prolific pair were boys—exactly | how many is not known, for the rec- ord mentions the fact that forty-six of the ‘male children lived to reach man- bood's estate and only four of the | daughters lived to be grownup wou | en. Thirty-nine of the sons were still living in the year 1630, the majority of them then residing in and about Newcastle-on-Tyne. It is recorded in one of the old histories of Newcastle that “a certyne gentleman of large es- taytes” rode “thirty and three miles beyond the Tyne to prove this won- | derful story.” It is further related that Sir J. Bowers adopted ten of the | sons and three other “landed gentle- | men” took ten each. The remaining | members of the extraordinary family | were brought up by the parents. Mascagni's Royal Critic, Mascagni, the famous composer, was once asked to entertain the royal court in Rome. He did so and de- | lighted his audience. When he finished | playing he started a conversation with | a little princess who had stood near | the plano during the recital and had | shown every sign of deep interest. As | a matter of fact, she had been in- | structed by her mother to say, if’ any | question should be asked, that “Mas- | cagni was the greatest musician in | Italy.” The composer asked her which of the great living masters she liked best, and the proud mother turned toward the child to hear the pretty little | speech which had been taught her. Instead of the compliment came the withering remark: “There are no great masters living. | i | i i | | i They are all dead.” The musician gave a little start and | then said: “Your excellency, permit me to con gratulate you. You are the most truth- ful critic in Europe.” Queer Cases of Jilt. i A well known novelist was once jilt- | ed by a girl who took exception to the | inadequate punishment meted out to | one of his fictitious villains. She de- | clared that as he regarded vice with s0 lenient an eye he must himself be at heart a reprobate and unworthy of true love and that she must request that their acquaintance cease. An eminent lawyer in his younger days met with a similar mishap. The lady to whom he was engaged, chanc- ing to hear that he had delivered a most skillin! though futile speech in defense of an arrant rogue, wrote, saying that she must decline to know one who conld thus strive to specious. ly excuse crime, In return he pleadec the exigencies of the profession, but i. vain, The lady was obdurate and scon afterward, by the strange irony of fate, married a man who was ult’ mately convicted of gross fraud, main- ly through the forensic eloquence of her former lover. Ominous. When Julia, Mrs. Blank’s maid of ali work, came to her mistress and “gave notice” because she was going to be married, Mrs. Blank said: “You know, Julia, that marriage is a pretty serious thing.” “Yes'm,” replied Julia, “but not git- tin’ married is a more serious thing sometimes, don't you think? Anyhow, it'll be as serious for him as it is for me if we don’t git along all right. But then, as you say, gittin’ married i about the seriousest piece of bizness a body can ingage in, an’ mebbe 1 am a fool an' mebbe he's a bigger one. There’s no tellin’. It's a turrible sol- emn thing, as 1 reckon you've found out by this time. Like enough I'll sip sorrow, but so will he. That's one comfort.”—Detroit Free Press. Definitions.

The dWlerence between a § o'clock tea and a German Kaffeeklatsch is cuormous. The tea is a pleasant go- us-you-please meeting, where we bal- ance our teacups in band perilously handicapped by our multitudinous pos- sessions, nugmenied by the frail sau- cer on which a top heavy plece of cake finds an insecure resting place. We may enjoy a variety of creature com- forts augmented by ices and cups on festive occasions. Not so the German Kaffeeklatsch. That is a ponderous affair which you take sitting at tables. Coffee and sa- vories mark the beginning of the meal, followed by numberless cakes which the Germans know so well how to make. This is followed by some creamy preparation or a beautiful de- vice made in ice. This again is suc- ceeded by the choicest fruits. The Kaffeekanne is meanwhile still busily plying its trade. There is a well known German song which ends with the refrain, freely translated: “Thank youn, thank you, hostess mine. | I never drink more cups than nine.,”— London Queen, } The Fairy Hounds. i In some rears stoats appear to be more numerous than in others, and they are seen not m ones and twos, but In dozens, hunting together in small packs. The late E. T. Booth of Brighton, when shooting In East Lothian one autumn, met a pack of stoats which attacked a terrier he had with him and would not be driven off until he and the dog between them had killed more than a dozen. Stoats will hunt together from scent and in full ery like a pack of hounds, one al- ways keeping the line and followed closely by the others. This sight has been recorded by different observers, who have also seen weasels hunting in the same way. There is a popular no- tion in the west of England that hares are hunted at night by packs of little falry hounds, locally called “dandy dogs” and these are said to be wean- sels, which the west country folks cal! “fairies,” pronouncing the word | Some of them de- | clare that they have seen and watched | | the chase with awe.—~London Graphic. | Poetic Justice. | A man whose soul had been tortured | frequently by the remarks of his wife, | who takes : fiendish delight in setting | | a price on the handsome clothes worn | by other women, one day found sweet comfort in the incautious comment of | a woman in a crowded car, | “Oh, yes," said that observing other | woman, “the hat looks well enough, | but it is cheap. [It couldn't have cost | a cent more than 86." Your Opportunity. Persons suffering from chronic forms of disease are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free of charge.

Large quantities of lead and potash were introduced into the constituents of the glass which in 1673 Is de-! scribed as Leing clear, heavy and thick | as crystal. : A great impetus was given to the | manufacture when the edict of Nantes | in 1685 drove the skilled artisans from France. Many of them came to Eng. | land, and (he fame of British glass | grew until it was considered superior | to that of Bohemia. From 1736 to about 1761 we have but few particulars. Then Michael Ed- | kins, formerly a potter, became prom- | inent as a maker of the highest class of enameled glass, which has become very scarce. It has an opaque white | body, beautifully painted in enamel colors with figures, flowers, etc. In| fact, it much resembles a glassy porce- | lain. It is getting scarce, too, and fine pieces are increasing in value.—London Opinion. Porcine Geometry. Seven-year-old William had become the proud owner of a pet pig and in- sisted upon having all the care of it himself. After a few weeks, as the pig did not seem to thrive, his father said to him: “William, I'm afraid you are not feeding your pig enough. It does not seem to be fattening at all.” “l don't want him to fatten any yet,” William replied knowingly. “I'm waiting until he gets to be as lorg as I want him, then I'll begin to widen him out.” * After the Honeymoon, He (at a picture gallery)—I wonder what that painting represents?
