~ Bellefonte, Pa., Jazuary 26, 1912. D ———. HINTS TO THE HANDICAPPED Writer in Atlantic Monthly Tells Them How They May Make Best of Life. Grow up as fast as you can. Cultl- vate the widest interest you can, and cherish all your [riends. Cultivate some artistic talent, for you will fiad it the most durable of satisfactions, and perhaps one of the surest means of livelihood as well. Achievement is, of cours=, on the kuces of the gods; but you will at least have the thrill of trial. and, after all, not to try is to fail. Taking your disabilities for granted. and assuming consiantl; that they arc being taken for granted, make vour social intercourse as broad and as constant as possible. Do not take the world too seriously, nor let too mauy social conventions oppress you. Keep sweel your sense of hu mor, and above all do not let aay morbid feelings of inferiority creep into your soul. You will find yourself sensitive enough to the sympathy of others, and if you do not find persons who like you and are willing to meet you more than half way, it will be be. cause you have let your disability narrow your vision and shrink up your soul. It will be really your own fault, and not that of your circumstances In a word, keep looking outward; look out eagerly for those things that in terest vou, for persons who will in- terest you and be friends with you, for new interests and for opportuni ties to express yourself— Atlantie Monthly. Traveler Finds the Seris Kindly and Affectionate and Quite Without Deadly Weapons. Though it seems rather a pity fo shatter romantic lllusions and myths in a world from which romance (of that kind. anyway) is fading rapidly, yet it must be sald that there are on'y two old. useless rifles in the hands cf the tribe, and at the time of our visit only two bows and a couple of quivers full of arrows. not one of which was headed. And now they haven't those, for we bought them for souvenirs. Among themselves, at any rate, however they may have behaved to strangers in the past, the Seris were as kindly and even affectionate a lot of people as I have ever had the good fortune to encounter. Never did wo see a mother or father slap a child Never was anger ‘isplayed or irrita tion. They were continually sharing with each other the little gifts we made them. Really, you know, when you see a group of alleged cannibals sharing chewing-g n (the first they had ever tasted} fr n mouth to mouth and enjoving themselves hugely, ro spect for travelers’ taies of blood and thunder goes down oo peg or two. Michael Wiitiams in Quting. Lessons in Etiguette. Those whe have dined in restmm rants or hoteis lLabitually will find that they have fal en into many une pleasant lit'le ways, permissible pos gibly toward a landlord, but not fo- ward a hostess. They feel that they have the privilege both to c+ “ng openly and to imply criticism eith «© of the food itsell or of the way iu wi. ch it is served. Women who cherish tha ambition of making poor, forlorn habitues of hotels happy with “hone cooking” have their hopes dashed by this wngraclous hahil. Let those, too, who have fallen into the habit of dip ping a spoon or fork into a glass of water and then wining it on a napkin before using it beware of those mor ments when they become deeply ab sorbed in conversation at the house of a friend or even at the home table, Could any halit be more insulting to a hostess ?—Harper's Bazar, A Stupid Hunter. Returning from two months spent on a ranch he was telling a story of hunting in the hills with an Bnglish- man. “All of us were out hunting one day,” caid he, “and the Englishman shot at everything that moved. If the wind carried a cloud of dust upward, you could depend on ‘is ludship to shoot at it. So it happaeued that he narrowly missed shooting a young woman, who, with her husband, was visiting on the ranch. When our party returned the husband, beiling angry, approached the Englishman and said: “Look here, you damned stupid ass, you missed shooting my wife by an inch.’ “Aw missed her!’ said the Eng lish®nan, either astonished or per plexed. ‘By an inch, by Jove? Well old man, I'm sorry, very sorry.” Conerate Perfectly Handled.

It needs more courage to fight the bothers and the worries and the hum- drum of life than to meet its great emergencies. YOUNG UNTIL THIRTY-FIVE From That Time On Unmarried Wom- en Are “Old Maids,” Says Bos- ton Y. W. C. A, When does a woman cease to be young? Woman herself, for reasons that require no elaboration here, de clines, as a rule, to fix the period. Mas culine authorities, for the most part, are chary of venturing upon such dan gerous ground. Hence the question has ever been involved in uncertainty and it would perhaps remain so were it not that a responsible authority—none oth er than the Young Woman's Christiar association, the title of which indi cates its competency—comes to the front with a decision which may fair ly be accepted as conclusive. It is tc the Boston branch of the associatior that the world is indebted for the so lution of the problem. The occasion foi solving it arose from the completior of a new home for the young women of the association in the Massachu setts city. In framing rules for this esfablishment, it was found necessary to specify precisely the limit of young womanhood, beyond which the bene fits of the home could not be enjoyed. “This has been fixed at 35 years. Up to that age a young woman comes within the meaning of the title as un derstood by the association and may enjoy the advantages of membershir and residence in the home. On reach ing her thirty-fifth birthday she must resign her quarters. On that fatal day her young womanhood ceases and the “old maid” label is placed upon her indelibly and irrevocably. Thus the matter is settled beyond further cavil or dispute.—Piitsburgh Chronicle-Tel egraph. T0 RELIEVE THE HICCOUGHS Sucking Ice or Taking Sait and Vine gar Often Will Cure Simple Cases. ——— Simple cases of hiccough are often relieved by such measures as sucking ice or taking salt and vinegar. Pull ing the tongue forward and hold: ing it for some time is an effective procedure. Sometimes obstinate hiccough is re lieved when the patient is strong by having him hang with the arms ex tended and grasping some beam or pole, so that his feet do not touch the floor. With all the abdominal muscles | tense, have him hold his breath as long as possible. The spelling “hiccough” is recent, being a combination of the syllables “hic” and the latter term of “cough,” | which is without either physiological | or etymological basis; the pronuncia- | tion, with perhaps the rarest excep- | tion, is still that of the older form “hiccup,” earlier given variously—as “hickup,” “hickupsnickup,” “hickop,” “hickcock.” “hichcock” and “hickett,” with quasi diminishing suffixes ack, etc.: hut the “hick,” a syllable aptly expressive of the spasmodic sound pro- | ducgd by the conditions giving rise to | the particular disturbance, is found in all references to the origin of the term which the writer has been able to ob- tain. The term singultus is rarely used.—New York Medical Journal, |! Curing Forgetfulness. I used to be very forgetful, and could not remember half the time where I had put things around the house, says a writer in Harper's Ba- | zar. Finally I hit on this scheme. { I live in the upper flat of a two- family house, and there are just eight rooms in our flat. I got a big white sheet of paper, and wrote on it the names of the eight rooms, and beside the name of each room I wrote the name of a certain place in that room. I decided that every time I put any- thing out of my hands for a minute I would put it in the place beside the name of that room on the paper. The paper I tacked up in a conspic- uons place in my own room. By using this system I always knew just where to look for things, and after a little while 1 got so in the habit of putting things in certain places and of remembering where I put them that I no longer needed the paper. Lifting Fire Hose by Elevators. The latest idea for raising water for fire-extinguishing purposes to the uppermost floors of tall buildings is to lift the hose by means of the pas- senger or freight elevators. A simple attachment is provided for affixing the hose to the floor of the elevator, the pipe being coiled up in the bottom of the shaft so as to be easily raised. In a recent demonstration at Mem- phis, Tenn, says Popular Mechanics, it was said that the water arrived at the sixth floor of a building practical- ly as soon as the floor was reached by the elevator, and the fire chief of that city recommended the compul- sory adoption of the device by all buildings provided with elevators. The hose is inserted in the attachment about two sections behind the dis- charge nozzle, these sections being coiled en the elevator floor. The Broken Heart. “The party will recover from this check,” said Mayor Craig of Coving- ton, apropos of a temporary setback. “They say the party will be broken. I'd reply that it will be about as much broken as young Lansing’s heart. “A chorus girl who had | young sald to a friend: ‘I have broken his heart, I fear. #:yon have.
