Bellefonte, Pa., October 13, 1911. i Purse Versus Passport in Russia. | Should as citizen of the United Staves attempt to enter Russia without a passport he would be urned back at! the frontier. Should he arrive in Rus-! sian waters be will not be permitted | to disembark until! he bas produced the necessary document, properly vised by | a Russian consular or diplomatic offi- | cer. Indeed, the mere possession of an American passport is not sufficient, for the regulations of the Russians prescribe that the credential must be vised before the frontier is crossed. Better to lose one's purse than one's passport in Russia. Funds may be cabled for and received in the course of a few hours, but it is a qu stion of weeks where a passport is concerned. Russian officials are usually courteous to American visitors who do not dis play too much curiosity about certain unspeakable Russian institutions, but let them find a traveler in the interior without n passport and the luckless one will speedily see the inside of a Russian jail, and sooner or later be conducted to the nearest point of the frontier.—Travel Magazine. Astronomical Facts. The diameter of the sun is reckoned at 882,000 miles. This diameter, ow- ing to its loss of heat and the conse- quent condensation, is steadily being shortened. though at a very slow rate, of course. The whole solar system— the sun and all of its planets—is mov- ing through space at a pace estimat- ed at about 150,000,000 of miles annu- ally. Those who are supposed to know about the matter assure us that, owing to certain causes, too numerous and complicated to be dealt with in this place, the planet on which we live receives only the 2.250-millionth part of the heat that is thrown off by the sun. Even as it is the earth receives annually from the sun an amount of heat that exceeds by a million times the heat producible by the combustion of 280,000,000 tons of coal.—New York American. Thackeray's First Poem. Thackeray's momentous first appear- ance in print was a satirical poem, published in the Western Luminary during one of the happy holiday times which he spent in Devenshire when still a scholar at the Charterhouse. A certain Mr. Lalor Sheil was to have delivered a speech upon Penendon heath, but the crowd refused to hear him. He had taken the precaution, however, to send copies of his intend- ed oration to all the leading journals before leaving town, and these, of course, printed it. This ludicrous in- cident inspired Thackeray to write a little jeu d'esprit entitled “Irish Melo- dy,” telling how “Mister Sheil” when the men of Kent “began a grievous shouting” found comfort in reflecting: “My speech is safe in the Times I wot And eke in the Morning Chronicle.” —Westminster Gazette. Business Before Pleasure. Fussy Man (hurrying into newspaper office)—I've lost my spectacles some- where, and I want to advertise for them, but I can't see to write without them, you know.

Ad- vertising Clerk—Thanks, It gives me, | sir, great pleasure—very great pleas- ure, to inform you, sir, that your spec- tacles are on top of your head. Fussy Man—My stars! So they are. Why didn’t you say so before? Advertising Clerk—Business before pleasure, you kunow.—London Mail Cats In Ancient Wales. An ancient statute ascribed to Howel the Good, a Welsh prince, who ruled ! in 948, regulated the price of cats. A! penny was the price of a kitten before , its eyes were open, twopence until it: had caught its first mouse and four- | pence when it was o!d enough for com- bat. He who stole a cat from the royal | granaries forfeited either a milk ewe, with its fleece and lamb, or as much | wheat as would cover the body of the cat suspended by its tail, with its nose touching the ground. A penny was a coin of great purchasing power in the tenth century. i ——— | The Eternal Feminine. From the fresco paintings of women in the Cretan palaces of the period | about 2000 B. C, it is learned that the women of that time pinched in thelr: wilists, had flounced or accordion | skirts, wore an elaborate coiffure on | their heads, shoes with high heels and | hats which might have come from al Parisian hat shop, while one woman | might be described as wearing a jupe | culotte, y Wanted ths Best.

Impulse That Moved the British Lan- cers at Aliwal. The Sixteenth launcers, than whom there is no more famous regiment in the British service. performed a fine feat at the battle of Aliwal, in the Punjab, in January. 1846. The gallant Sikhs had thrown them- selves into squares and in this forma- charges of the English cavalry just as stubbornly as the British infantry had resisted the French curaissiers at Waterloo. Aguin and again did the Sixteenth lancers strive to break through the masses of the Sikhs, and again and again scores of saddles were emptied, and the Brit’sh were beaten back with slaughter. As the lancers got close enough to deliver their thrusts their weapons would splinter like match- wood upon the stout shields of their swarthy foes, Suddenly an inspiration came to the troopers. Without receiving any orders to that effect, but as if controlled by a unani- mous impulse, they shifted their lances | to the bridle hand and charged in once more. The Sikhs, entirely unpre- pared for this sudden and masterly maneuver, received in their bodies in- stead of on their targets the spear points of the horsemen. | Into and through the squares swept | the Sixteenth, with lances as crimson | as their tunics. Even so, it is record- ed that the resistance was so desper- | ate and sustained that the Sikh square | had to be ridden through again and | yet again before it was finally over- | come.—Exchnnge. i | i WON BY A SONG. Telephones In England. Following the establishment on a | solid basis of the American telephone | system, work for European exploitation was early begun. The results were hardly encouraging. ! Five-eighths of the British rights were purchased for $500 by a Provi- | dence man, says the National Maga- | zine. After working in London four months he could not find any one who would put a shilling in the telephone. | An English review said of it: “The telephone is little better than a toy. | It amuses the English. but is inferior | to the well established system of air tubes.” | The victory wns won at last by Kate | Field, who sanz “Kathleen Marvour- | neen” over the telephone to Queen | Victorla. The queen was delighted. | asked Bell i she might buy two tele | phones, and it was not long before | ‘The Only Way MANY BELLEFONTE CITIZENS HAVE DIS COVERED IT. Just what to do when the kidneys are affected. is a question that concerns both young and old. Weak kidneys neglected in childhood lead to life-long suffering. People of advanced years, with less vital- ity, suffer doubly. In youth or age, lan- guor, backache,urinary irregularity, dizzi- ness and nervousness make life a burden. There is one remedy that acts directly on the kidneys and cures these troubles. Doan's Kidney Pills owe their world-wide fame to the fact that they cure sick kid- neys and cure them permanently. Fol- i low the example of this Bellefonte citizen ! and vou will be convinced that this is so. i Mrs. James Rine, 239 W.
