Bellefonte, Pa., June 10, 1910. When a Peek Into a Hand Glass May Help a Patient. The looking glass, whether a plus or a minus quantity. plays a more impor- tant part in the sickroom than most Burden and physicians give it credit “All things considered, | think it a good plan to give a sick person chance to look at himself occasional ly.” said a prominent doctor recently. “Of course the indulgence must be granted with discretion If a parient is really looking seedy a turn at the looking glass Is equivalent to signing his death warrant, but If taken ut a time when braced up by some stimu lant or a natural ebullition of vit force a few minutes of communion with his own visage beats any tout: 1 can prescribe. [It thrills the patient with new hope. It makes him feel that he isn't quite so far gone as le has thought and that possibly a fight for life is, after all, worth while. Be. ing thus sensitive, a persistent with: | holding of a mirror convinces the pa: tient that he must be too horrible for contemplation, and be promptly de cides that the best thing for him to do is to give up the ghost and get out of the way. “That is one of the mistakes hos pitals were apt to make up to a few years ago. When | was a young fei. low getting my first practice after graduation | served on the staff or! several hospitals, and in all, especially in the free wards, those aids to vanity were strictly forbidden.” — Cleveland Plain Dealer. It Was Worse In the Eighteenth Cen- tury Than It Is Now. ! The tipping habit is bad enough now- | adays, but in the eighteenth century it | was a greater evil than it is at the present time. A writer in the Cory | hill Magazine tells some stories to il- | lustrate the old condition of things. In Edinburgh in 1760 tipping became such an evil that the Society of Clerks enacted that all servants should be forbidden to take tips and members be forbidden to give them. This ex- ample was followed by other clubs una societies. Today there is a rule 1 most clubs against feeing the servants An eccentric Irish gentleman, Lord Taaffe, used to attend his guests to the door, and if they offered any mon- ey to the servants who were lined up with the guests’ baggage the bos: would say, “If you give, give It we. for it was I that did buy the dinner.” A well known colonel while sitting at dinner inquired the names of the host's servants. “For, said he, “I cannot pay them for such a good din ner, but | should like to remember them in my will.” Another eccentric gentleman after patiently redeeming his bat, sword. cane and cleak to the very bottom of his purse turned to the two remain. ing servants who were waiting obse- quiously, each with a glove, and said affably: “Keep those. | will not trou. ble to buy them back. They are old and not worth a shilling.” A King's Trick. Ring Gustavus (li. of Sweden bad been frequently invited to the little court of Schwerin. In 1783 he paid n visit to Germany, and as soon as the Duchess of Mecklenburg beard of his approach she prepared fetes in his honor. But Gustavus, who disdained the petty courts of the small rulers sent two of his attendanis—a page named Peyron and Desvouges, a valet who bad formerly been an uctor—fo be entertained by the duchess. The two personsted the king aud his min ister, Baron Sparre, and sustained the characters throughout. They accept: ed as their due all the homage meant for their master, danced with the Mecklenburg ladies who were present. ed to them. and Peyron went =o rar as to ask one of the ladies for her por. trait. Meantime Gustavus was enjoy ing himself elsewhere in secret. Richmond Castle. Richmond castle was originally one of the strongest of Norman keeps. It was probably founded by Alun Rufus, one of the sons of the Duke of Brit tany, who took a prominent part in the suppression of the Saxons. At a later age the castle passed into the possession of Edmund Tudor. who married Margaret Beaufort and be- came the father of Henry VII. Heary was born Ear! of Richmond, and he bestowed the title upon the magnifl- cent palace which when king of Eng: land he built upon the hanks of (he Thames. Thus the Richmond beloved of cockneys has a comparatively mod. ern origin. The curfew, vy the way. is still rung from the tower of Rich- mond castle at 6 a. wm. and 8S p.m, a custom “that has continued ever since the time of Willlam the Conqueror.” — London Globe. Game In Manchuria. The tong haired tiger is found throughout Manchuria wherever there is hilly country. but is never found ou the plains. It is extremely dithi- cult to bag and is by we means nu- merous. In addition to tiger the fol- lowing game may be found in Man- churia: Bear (black and browns, wapi- ti, Sika deer (two species), roedeer, gerow, wild pig. leopard and lynx. All however, are scarce and hard to bag. with the exception of roedeer and pig. —Londou Field. it All Depends. Teacher—Now, boys, here's a little example in mental arithmetic.

The lecturer said “hat the three marks on the back of u glove correspond to the fourchette pleces between the fingers, and In old- | en days these pieces were continued along the back of the hand, braid be- ing used to conceal the seams. A somewhat similar origin was assign- ed to the ornamental clock on the stocking.

According io the rules of Bornena:n fashion it is deemed necessary to mold one's limbs into a more shapely fori: thau that bestowed by nature. This is done really effectively by windinz strong brass wire round the ankles, the wrists, under the knees and above the elbows of children. Growth at thes: points is, in consequence, greatly Lau: pered, with the result that the limbs come to be deformed or, according to Dyak ideas. brought iuto proper shape.

Customs : a long state, comparable almost with Chile, as it lies along the west coast of Mexico. just as Chile America. Like most new countries, the most interesting part of this fertile state is country Is so fertile. Game is abun- dant and easily caught, and the fruit of the great pithaya cactus is ripe almost from season to season. Every native, whether mounted or afoot—and most natives ride—carries a slender stick ten feet long, sharpened at oue end and the point hardened with fire. One supposes these sticks to be rath- er primitive lances until one sees the Indian spear a cactus fruit from a branch seven or eight feet above his head. These pithayas contain many seeds and a little blood red pulp, all of which, except the spines, is food for the Indian. All day long these Indian men wan- der through the jungle, n wall of green broken only here and there by the old trails of half wild cattle, gathering the cactus fruit. It would seem that some would be dried or at least taken to the brush jacal, which represents home to the Indian. But. no; he sits down and eats what he gathers immediately, If his wife wants any of the fruit she goes and gets it herself. She also gathers the foed for the bables.—For- est and Stream. Why One Man Has a Distinct Dislike For Buttermilk. “When | was a youngster,” said a state official the other day, “I was poisoned by an ivy vine.

I bought The Oldest Reliable Date. It used to be supposed that the most ancient civilization of which rest vee: ords had been found dated trom HB C 8500. This had relation to Pern and its earliest Known inhabitants, bul Dr Eduard Mayer. professor of ancient history at the Oniversity of Berhm, studying the Egyptian calendars oun the monuments in the stile museum of the German capital, discovered that the date B. C. 4241 is frequently cited as that in which the early Egyptian astronomers first calculated their solar year from the rising of the star Sirus. This is by far the oldest reliable date in the history of the buman race. The Word “Belfry.” The word “belfry” had originally no connection with “bell” an idea which is now intimately associated with the term. The first meaning given 18 “watchtower,” from the middle Eng- lish “berfry.” a watchtower. The first | isn't part of this word Is connected with “borough,” the second with “free.” As the practice grew of hanging “bells” in such towers people reminded them- selves of the fact by changing the word “berfry” into the modern “bel- fry.” No Chance, “Why don’t you ask that young man up to tea some eveninz, dear? “1 don't believe it would do any good, mother.

In fact, I drank so much buttermilk that the price went up about 15 cents a gallon in that | community within a very few days. | But the poisoning was not getting any better. It was not improving one bit, | and I couldn't understand it. i “I told the people who had recom- mended the buttermilk that it was not helping me. ‘Why. 1 bet I have swal- lowed a barrel of buttermilk within the past week,’ 1 told them. “You drank it? they shouted back at me, “+Of course,’ 1 replied. ‘What did you expect me to do with it? “Why, we meant for you to bathe your face with buttermilk. not drink it’ was the answer. “1 pretty nearly collapsed. To this day 1 can't look buttermilk in the face.”—Kansas City Journal. a smi The Last of the Rufis. i In 1762 the rage for ruffs, such as are | seen on many monumental edigies, be- | gan to decline. A writer in the Lon- | don Chronicle of that year says of gen. | tlemen's dress. “Their cuffs entirely | cover their wrists, and only the edges of their rufiles are to be seen.” It is’ said that a distaste for ruffs was first | created so far back as 1613, when a | woman named Turner wore them on | her trial for the murder by poison of Sir Thomas Overbury. The French | revolution of 1789 much influenced | British fashion, and the picturesque ! cocked hat and ruffles then gave way | generally to round hats and small | cuffs.
