They Were Used In Palestine as Early
as the Year 850 B. C.
Professor George A. Reisner of Har-
vard university discovered among
some speciments of earliest [icbrew
writing in the excavations of the city
of Samaria, in Palestine. a most inter-
esting record of the first pure food
laws in history. He also found nx
cient writings dealing with the first
instance on record of the kecping of
wines in a government warchouse un-
der bond.
Dating back to the period of King
Ahab, 850 B. C., these inscriptions are
considered to be one of the greatest
finds of the Harvard Palestinian ex-
peditions which delved into the city of
Ahab and Omri for three years. They
found labels on wine and oil jars.
These mention the year in which the
wine was laid down in the cellars of
the palace storehouse, and they state
the vineyard from which the wine
came, important facts that are recog-
nized equally well by vintners today.
On the oil jars the label runs, “A jar
of pure oil,” with the mention of the
district from which the oll came. The
bits of pottery on which the descrip-
tions were written were not parts of
the jars, but were evidently intended
to be attached to the necks of the re-
ceptacles, just as are labels or seals
at the present time.—New York World.
WOOL, SILK AND LINEN.
Tests That Will Determine the Quality
of the Fabrics.
If you wish to find out whether the
material sold to you as all wool or all
silk is really so make a {5 per cent so-
lution of caustic potash and in this
boll your sample of silk or wool. If
the entire sample is consumed in the
boiling your material is what it pre-
tends to be: if there is n residue that
residue is cotton. The caustic solution
consumes the animal fibers,
If you wish to find out whether the
silk that seems to be heavy silk is
welghted with mineral burn the sam-
ple and the ash will show you how
much mineral weighting there is. The
pure silk will be wholly consumed.
In buying supposed linen goods of
toweling or suiting, dip your sample
into concentrated sulphuric acid for
two minutes and wash it out carefully.
The cotton will have been consumed.
the linen will have resisted the nction
of the acid. This test is one that
should be made with precaution, as
vitriol is not a thing te he tzmpered |
with.— Mary Heaton Vorse in Success
Magazine.
Right and Wrong Exercise.
The word “exercise” covers n mnlti-
tude of sins. It is n very loose term
used for any form of physical exer-
tion. be it sweeping out a factory.
walking home from the office or lifting
dumbbells. To say “Exercise is bene-
ficial” is n very inaccurate remark and
a very dangerous belief. It is neces-
sary to distinguish between right and
wrong exercise. As often as not big
muscles in arms, chest or legs are a
calamity, for they actually shorten life
unless the vital organs are proportion-
ately developed to take care of them.
Men are constantly wearing out their
hearts and arteries with some form of
violent work they call “exercise.” If
continued they wonid die of arterio-
sclerosis. A pretty good general rule
for these men to go by is to take no
form of exercise nfter they are grown
up that ther cannot k-« p on with until
they are old men.—J. Edmund Thomp-
son in National Magazine.
Needed the Money Badly.
A newspaper man of Washington
was approached one morning by a |
friend who wanted to borrow 85. The
newspaper man, assuming an espres-
sion of great sorrow. pulled U0 cents
out of his pocket and remarked:
“I'm sorry. old man, but you've
struck me just before pay day. and
I'm broke."
Having made this crafty excuse,
he. mentally speaking, pinned a gold
medal on himself for having evaded |
the prospective borrower.
“When is your pay day?’ asked the
friend. :
“Tomorrov: afternoon,” replied the
newspaper man,
“All right,” said the friend.
come around then.”
And he did.—Popular Magazine.
Merely a Test Case.
A burly negro came to the doctor of
a West African missionary settlement,
dragging his reluctant wife with him.
“Doctor, pull one of my wife's teeth
out.” said he. i
The doctor examined the woman's |
mouth and found only sound teeth.
“Oh, that makes no difference,” said |
the interested negro. “Pull one any- |
way. If it doesn't hurt her too much |
then you can pull my tooth that is
aching.” —Success Magazine.

Once a vessel! is gripped by the sands
the process of entombing her goes on
with great rapidity, the craft appear
ing to sink steadily in the yielding
beach. All around the doomed vessel
the sand piles up in great drifts, like
snow. Every crevice of the bull is
quickly filled. The sand rises in a solid
barrier out<ide it and flows about i
as the tides flood the shelving beaches.
Finally it sweeps over the wreck, and
the process of entombing goes on until
the entombed craft is covered many
feet deep.— Boston Globe.
SURE TO BE MISSED.
A Famous Cook's Lament on the Death |
of His Royal Master.
The most successful book that was
published by Willinm Harrison Ains-
worth during his tirst year of busi.
ness, says Mr. 8. M. Ellis in his blog- |
raphy of the English author and pub-
lisher. was a cookbook. It was “The
French Cook.” by Louis Eustache Ude,
“the (il Blax of the kitchen.”
Thix unique study of the culinary
art brought in an handsome sum to the
astute young publisher who had pur
chased the copyright. and the book
was in the hands of every gourmet in
London
Ude had been zhef of Louis XVI, of
Mme. Letizin Bonaparte and then of
the Earl of Sefton, at a salary of 300
guineas a year. At another time be
presided over the culinary department
of the Crockfords, but his favorite
master was Frederick, duke of York.
When the royal gormand died his
bereaved chef pathetically ejaculated:
“Ah, mon pauvre duc, how much
you will miss me, wherever you are
gone to!”
Odd Word Survivals.
Far away back in the days when the
English language was in its infancy
| there were poets who wrote of the
| blossoms on the trees in the spring.
| They didn’t write “blossom.” however,
but used the word “blow” and made
it rhyme with snow and flow. When
they wished to sing of the beautiful
mass of apple or hawthorn flowers
they called It the “blowth.” This
word is found in the dictionaries,
which assert that it is obselete, but it
is very much alive in Rockingham
county. N. H. and York county, Me.
The orchardist thereabout speaks of a
“full blowth” or “light blowth" on his
trees in May and predicts a good or
| poor “set” of the fruit in consequence.
“Qrts" are supposed to be refuse of
some kind. but in the valley where the
Piscataqua river mingles with the sea
worts” is the name for “swill."—Ex-

Tricking the Bobby.
A Dublin eccentric a short time ago
entered a purveycr’'s shop and bought a
ham. Having paid for his purchase,
he requested that it should be hung
outside the shop door, saying that he
would call back for it. The customer
' then paced up and down outside the
i shop till a policeman came in sight,
and just as the man in blue caught
his eye he grabbed the ham and bolt-
ed. The constable, however, soon col-
lared the thief. as he thought, and
' hauled him back to the shop. Having
explained the nature of the alleged
crime to the shop assistant. be asked
the latter to chnrge the offender.
“But.” said the assistant as be real-
ized the joke. “it's his own ham. He
was quite at liberty to take it in any
| efreumstances he chose.” —London An-
| SWers.
Weatherwise Birds and Fish.
The seagull makes a splendid living
barometer. If a covey of seagulls fly
seaward early in the morning sallors
| and fishermen know that the day will
be fine and the wind fair, but if the
| birds keep inland, though there be vo
haze hanging out toward the sea to
denote unp'easant weather, interested
folk know that the elements will be
| unfavorable. Of all weatherwise fish
the dolphin is the most remarkable.
During a fierce gale or a storm at sea
the mariner knows thut the end of it
is pear if he can see a dolphin or a
pumber of that fish sporting on the
high sea waves.

in their demands we provide the kind

many of them leave the hospital better

that needless extravagance cannot be

Home Only In Name.
A young teacher who has substitut-
ed in the lower districts of the city
tells this little story of one of her pu-
plis:
There had been an entertainment at
the school at which the child bad re-
celved a picture from the principal
The nest day the little girl appeared
with the picture under her arm. Quite
regretfully she laid it upon the teach- |
er's desk.
“Mom says thank you for the plec-
ture,” she imparted, drawing up her
ragged little form, “but we ain't got
no wall to hang it on.”
“No wall!" cried the horrified young
substitute. “Why. Molly, what do you
mean?
“There's five families of us in our
room,” Molly explained carelessly,
“and we live in the middle.”"—Phila-

The Bloodletting Branch.
Not every pun is ns xood as one
credited to a Dublin gentieman of
long ago by the author of a buok en-
titled “In Many Lands.” George Iv.
on his visit to Dublin in 1821, met ata |
reception Sir Philip Crampton. Ire-
land's greatest surgeon. :
“ln what branch of the service Is
that magnificent lovking man?¥” asked
his majesty.
The gentleman to whom the question
was put was too polite to hint that the
king was mistaken in supposing that
the distinguished surgeon was a naval
or military officer.
“Sire,” he replied, “he is a general
in the lances.”

to make the world happier nnd better

Hidden Dangers.
NATURE GIVES TIMELY WARNINGS THAT
NO BELLEFONTE CITIZEN CAN AF
FORD TO IGNORE.
DANGER SIGNAL No. 1 comes from the
kidney secretions. They will warn you
when the kidneys are sick. Well kidneys
excrete a clear, amber fluid. Sick kid-
neys send out a thin, pale and foamy, or a
thick, red, ill-smelling urine, full of sedi-
ment and irregular of passage.
DANGER SIGNAL NO. 2 comes from the
back. Back pains, dull and heavy, or
sharp and acute, tell you of sick kidneys
and warn you of the coming of dropsy,
diabetes and Bright's disease. Doan’s Kid-
ney Pills cure sick kidneys and cure them
permanently. Here's Bellefonte proof;
Hiram Fetterhoff, 28 W. Bishop Street,
Bellefonte, Pa., says: “I have no hesita-
tion in recommending Doan's Kidney
Pills, knowing them to be a first-class kid-
ney remedy. For some time I was annoy-
ed by irregular passages of the kidney se-
cretions and reading that Doan’s Kidney
Pills were a specific for kidney complaint,
I procured a supply at Green's Pharmacy
Co. Their use relieved me and I am now
in much better health. Doan’s Kidney
Pills are certainly an effective kidney
medicine.” (Statement given Oct. 2lst,
1907.)
NO CAUSE FOR COMPLAINT SINCE.
When Mr. Fetterhoff was interviewed
on November 22nd, 1909 he said: “I wil-
lingly confirm my former endorsement of
Doan’s Kidney Pills. The relief they
brought me has been permanent.”
