! Bellefonte, Pa., January 27, 1911. A RECORD FALL. ft Was Remarkable Not For Distance, | but For Results. i Writing in 1841 of a fall from an im- mense altitude which did not result | in death, ua French observer, M. Man- An Indian's Joke. : Indians extract uo little quiet enjoy- | ment from what seem to them to be | oddities in the speech. manners and | customs of white people. An Arapa- | hoe stepped into the store of a trader one day to purchase some tobacco. | The trader's son was in charge of the | place. Now. this son was at that em- | barrassing stage of growth when the | voice Is changing. =o that be never could tell whether tenor tones would | issue from his lips or babylike fal- | setto or de profundix Luss. On this | occasion when the Indian asked for | tobacco the youth's hass notes held the i right of way, though they were speed- | fly followed by axcending tones up to | a squeaky falsetto. He asked the Indian, “Will you have | fine cut tobacco or a plug?” beginning in a grow! and ending in birdlike so- prano. The Arapahoe listened gravely to this vocal variety and then without a smile reversed the process and. with the youth's highest note and end- ing with his lowest, scaled, “1 think I'll take some plug.” —Soutbern Work- man. “Exercise and Rest” What is the relation between exer- cise and rest? Work is that at which we must continue, whether interesting or not. whether we are tired or not. It used to be thought tbat the prime requisite of rest was the use of facul- ties other than those involved in the labor of the day. But there is such a thing as fatigue which goes deeper than dally work. We can work so hard as to become exhausted—too ex- hausted for any kind of work. Per- haps this Is will fatigue. 1t is coming to be regarded as fundamentally true that rest from such fatigue demands continuity; that, for example, four pe riods of fifteen minutes each of rest is pot the equivalent of one hour's rest; that a man who goes on a vacation and takes half an hour of his business work every day is doing the same thing as the man who had a horse with a sore back. He kept the saddle on only a few minutes each day, but the sore did not have a chance to heal. Rest periods must be sufficiently con- gecutive to overcome consecutive fa- | describe a second parabola tigue.— Luther H. Gulick in North American Review. Cheerfulness and Cholera. | A cheerful disposition is held by some doctors to be the best protection against cholera. When this disease first visited Paris in 1832 a notice was | issued advising the inhabitants “to avoid aus far as possible all occasions of melancholy and all painful emo- tions and to seek plenty of distractions and amusements. Those with a bright and happy temperament are not likely to be stricken down.” This advice was largely followed, and even when chol- era was claiming over a thousand weekly victims the theaters and cafes were thronged. The epidemic was in | some quarters treated as a huge joke, | and plays and songs were written around it. Rochefort wrote a play, | “Le Cholera Morbus,” which proved a | big success, and another production on the same lines, “Paris-malade,” also | bad a long run.—London Chronicle. | Ether Topers. Ether is consumed by gallons to get drunk on in a small part of Scotland. | The origin of this peculiar and limited abuse is strange. In 1848 a bad epl- | demic of cholera broke out in Glasgow. ‘Among those flying from it were some who came back to Draperstown, their | native place. With them they brought | a cholera mixture which they found | “exceeding comforting.” A rascally | doctor. knowing that the comfort pro- ceeded from ether, laid in a whole | cask. He made his fortune and start- | ed the babit that lasts ull yet. Ether | is sold over counters in Scotland. the | i penny a drink. An old ether toper can | drink two or three ounces a day. but | one-half ounce is one big dram in wa- | ter. The drinker gets bilarious in a | minute. It is far wilder and more | dangerous than alcohol. | i How Tortoise Shell Is Worked. i The soldering of two pieces of tor- | toise shell together is effected by means of hot pinchers, which, while they compress, soften the opposed edge of each plece and amalgamate them into one. Even the raspings and pow- der produced by the file. mixed with | small fragments, are put into molds | and subjected to the action of boiling water and thus made into plates of the desired thickness or into various arti- cles which appear to have been cut out of a solid block. LAS —— Inconsistent. ‘A man who took his infant daughter to be baptized told the clergyman to call her Venus. “But 1 refuse to call her Venus’ said the clergyman indignantly. “Ve nus is the name of a pagan goddess.” “Well, how about your own girl Diana?’ said the man.

The victim or patient was a tapis- | sler who had been engaged in putting | up decorations on the occasion of the belated obsequiex of Napoleon the Great in the lofty dome of the Church of the lovalidex in Paris. When busy moving a Indder on the top of a high scaffolding he overbalanced himself and. in obedience to some obscure in- stinet, jumped clear of the ladder and the platform. crying to his fellow workmen ns only a Frenchman would. “Behold me quit’ With these cheer- fu! words on hix lips he fell eighty-two feet. bounding in one place off the roof of a little dome, which caused him to 3 the air, and landing finally, feet first. on the slate roof of a small sacristy.

The Indian wears his blanket on the bottest summer days His theory Is that if it keeps out the cold in winter it will keep out the heat In summer, says Ben M. Myers of Oklahoma City. While he might not care to buy any- thing else expensive, the price of a suitable blanket is never questioned. but it would be difficult indeed to de- celve bim as to the texture of any robe. “A squaw will imitate almost any- thing that pleases her fancy. but in the matter of her blanket or shawl she exhibits an unusual amount of individ uality. With great care and patience she designs her blanket. and when she places the order with the mill man he does not dare duplicate it until she has | had an opportunity to wear It. i “If she makes the request that it shall not be duplicated her wishes are regarded, because it is the one article she possesses in which exclusiveness is much coveted and also because what would please one squaw would not ap- pear at all attractive to another. i “The lightweight shawl or blanket is | thrown over the head of the squaw, and unless she is able to purchase a bright colored silk kerchiel it will serve as her only bonnet as well. It is just as common a sight now to see the papoose securely bound on the back of its mother by a portion of her blanket as it used to be to see the wee bead of the Indian babe peeping from the te kas, or frame cradle.” — Washington Herald. Confidence In the Mails. Having sent a strong box key by mail in an unregistered letter, a clerk was told by his employer that the key transportation adopted showed too | much confidence. In answer the clerk | said. “Ever since a New Year's eve incident of two years’ standing my confidence in the postoffice Is great.” And pressed for an explanation he morning rather. a man came out of a restaurant rather the worse for cele- brating. He had a wallet in his pocket containing considerable money and was uncertain ax to the honesty of his companions.

I'bere are two practices in this coun- try that are being justly condemned. One Is tipping and the other treating. To be sure, we are not responsible for originating elther. Away back in the days of Queen Elizabeth every coffee house had a box bearing the inserip- tion, “To Insure Promptness;” hence | T.1. P. Neither is treating an innova- tion. Some of the Caesars, so says his- tory, used to get huffy when their guests could not see the bottom of the glass often enough. But both have got such a hold on Americans that they have come to be recognized as national habits, and the latter sometimes as a national evil.—Indianapolis News. A Willing Witness. «Did his actions have an air of veri- similitude?’ the lawyer asked the wit- ness. “What was that, sir?” «J say, did his conduct wear an afr of verisimilitude?” “Oh,” replied the witness. “Sure!

ANCIENT EMBALMERS. Motives Which Impelied the Egyp- tians to Preserve the Dead. To appreciate the motives which im- | pelied the ancient Egyptians to inveat the art of embalming it Is necessary to throw our minds back nearly sixty | centuries. Then Egyptians were in the habit of burying their dead in shallow holes scraped in the soll im- mediately beyond the limits of the narrow strip of cultivated land. As| the result of placing the body in hot dry sand it frequently happened that, instead of undergoing a process of decay, it became desiccated and pre- served in an incorruptible form for an indefinite time. The burial of valu- able and useful objects with the dead naturally led to grave robbing, which was already common in the earliest known prehistoric times in Egypt. | This plundering of graves must have taught the people at large that ' | section 85 of the code of commerce, | must not transact any commercial or the | | ways taken care of and liquidated in { full by the other members of the cor- poration. who contribute obligatoril; cach year to a sort of insurance fund or reserve for this purpose.

An agent de change, according to banking business for his own account. He must have no financial interest In | any commercial enterprise, whether In | bis own name or under an assumed name. He cannot even receive pay- ment or settle any account on behalf of his clients. The penalty for the violation of this rule may be a fine of 3,000 francs and eventually the dis- missal of the offender.—Moody's Maga- zine. It is easler to enrich ourselves with forces of nature were often sufficient | a thousand virtnex than to correct our- to preserve a dead body. In this way it became un part of the religion of the Egyptians to regurd the preservation of the body ax the condition of the attainment of immortality. The early Egyptians learned that the body when placed in a coffin or buried in a rock tomb usually underwent de- composition. It was a widespread be- lief that the stone “ate the flesh"— hence the word “sarcophagus.” Arti- ficial mummification, therefore, had its origin in an attempt to deprive the grave of ite victory.— British Medical Journal. PARIS STOCKBROKERS. When They Fail They Are Always Treated as Criminals. An agent de change (Paris stock- broker) can under the rule of the code of commerce never be adjudged bank- rupt pure and simple. his insolvency always involving more or less criminal responsibility. In the absence of fraud the penalty ix hard labor for a term, but in case of fraud the punish- ment is no less than hard labor for life. The public, however, never suf- fers from the insolvency of an agent de change, because his liabilities, no matter what they amount to, are al- | selves of a single fault. —~Bruyere. 4 Castoria. | | ‘ ' CASTORIA FOR INFANTS axp CHILDREN.
