Bellefonte, Pa., August 4, 1911. NOT A MATTER OF COURAGE. it is the Sudden Impulse That Moves One to Do the Right Thing In an Un- expected Emergency—A Soldier and a Shell and a Man and a Murder.

As this slow- ly burned and the colonel proceeded with his address to the other officers had been told to bring an empty shell had gone to the wrong magazine. Those who talked with the man touch- ing this incident say that he repudi- ated any idea of having done a brave thing. *I don't know,” he said, “what made me seize the shell out of the colonel’s hand, but it came suddenly into my mind, and 1 did it” It is this wave of unconscious thought which constitutes true presence of mind. This will come to people of nervous and even cowardly natures. There is of authentic record the case of a man known to be utterly deficient of courage who saved himself from a very awkward situation by an exhibi- tion of real presence of mind. He was an Englishman and lived in a town in the midlands, where he was an organ- ist. Late one evening he was returning home through some of the back streets, which at that hour were more or. less empty of people. As he went along, however, he noticed some distance ahead of him a man and a woman walking side by side. the man's arm being around the woman's neck. Just under a street lamp the couple stop- ped for a moment, when the organist heard a.piercing scream and saw the woman slowly falling from the man’s arms. Almost before she had reached the ground the man darted away down a side street and disappearzd. When the organist came up to the woman he found, to his horror, that she was lying in a pool of blood. His first impulse was to run away and get clear of the terrible scene, but his bet- ter feelings prevailed. and he knelt down beside the poor woman to see if could do anything for her. When raised ber head he found she was dead. with her throat cut from 0 ear. Beside her on the pave- lay a hlood stained razor. organist was overwhelmed with Before he could collect him- group of people had gathered, presently he heard expressions g§F 85% EERE, § » “There is the razor,” “The fiend! are the police?’ “Hand him It was certainly a very awk- position, as the rough character people might tempt them to w into their own hands and very badly. The arrival of a liceman seemed to steady his nerves for a moment, and then came a wave of inspiration that might truly be call- ed presence of mind. He seized the d woman's wrist and. pulling out his watch. went through the form of feeling her pulse. Then he put his band over her heart and, turning te the policeman, said as calmly as he : “I am sorry to say that I can of no further service here. The woman is quite dead.

One man will mold two ten-inch pots in three minutes. The potter's wheel is the essential part of the equipment. ' The workman's left hand is gently thrust into the center of the clay, while his right hand is slightly press- ing on the outside to keep the whole together, but it is from the inside that most of the shaping is done. Mean- while the “wheel” is made to turn more quickly. Then, by keeping both hands opposite each other—i. e.. one inside and one outside—together mov- ing slowly up from the wheel, pressure by both hands is exerted. and the shapeless mass of clay assumes the shape of a pot with astonishing rapid- ity. A thin piece of wood is used to flatten the rim, and usually the same piece is used to measure the pot to see if it is the correct size. Saucers and Finger Bowls. Drinking from the saucer was not a social solecism seventy-five years ago. In fact. sets of old china may still be found intact that include dainty tab- loids upon which the cup was to rest while the contents, taken from the saucer, were imbibed and from the at- tending noise apparently almost in- haled by the drinker. One spoon was regarded as sufficient for all courses of food as well as drink, and the over- worked knife did duty both for cutting and carrying. As for finger bowls, did not the late Senator Tom Benton con- fide to his diary that bis first experi- ence with them was at a dinner given by President Van Buren? “The presi- dent,” said he, “dipped his fingers daln- tily in the bowl! and dried them upon : his napkin, but I rolled up my sleeves ' and took a good old fashioned wash.” | —Boston Transcript.
