NE ASR A Star... Bellefonte, Pa., March 15, Picturesque Manchuris. When! comes into the mills and to the rivers and railways of Muncharia from almost ivcredible distances. In the winter, when the rough, ungraded roads are frozen hard and smooth, the natives haul wheat for 200 miles, in some cases by means of a heavy, two wheeled cart drawn by four to eight mules. long trains of these carts, traveling together for protection and companionship at night, can be seen on the main highways all winter and are the most picturesque feature of Manchurian life. Merely Moral Effect. “Some o dese reformers,” said Un- cle Rasberry, “makes me think of *Rastus Pinkley's dog. | says to 'im, ‘*Rastus,’ I says, ‘Is dat dog good foh rats? An’ he says, ‘No; he's mighty bad foh rats.’ ‘Does he ketch ‘em an’ kill ‘em? ‘No,’ says 'Rastus; ‘he don't ketch ‘em, ner he den't kill ‘em. But if they comes foolin’ around him he'll mighty near skeer ‘em to death. "—Washington Star, Not Profanity. The word “dam” is the name of a small coin used in India and of very small value, and is also the name giv- en by tinkers to a small wad of paper put into a hole in tinware when mend- ing it for the purpose of preventing the solder from running through. Both mean of little value, so the ex- pression really means “I don’t care the value of a dam.” Forewarned. “Your father tells me,” said the earl, “that he intends to leave all his money to charity.” “Oh, don't let that worry you at ail,” replied the beautiful heiress. “I'm sure he doesn’t mean it. He told me last night that he was going to try to find out wheth- er you rezlly loved me for myself alone.” Raising the Wind. “There ain't a dollar in the town treasury,” said the mayor of Billville to the town marshal, “and you'll get no salary this month.” “Never believe it,” said the cheerful marshal, “There are six automobiles headed this way. Just make out the fines for exceedin’ the speed limit, an’ leave the rest to me! "—Atlanta Constitution. Good Substitute for Sardines. The fact that Maine herring, when quite young, are canned and marketed for sardines done up in olive oil, is fairly well known. As the home prod- uct is about as tasty and wholesome as the imported article, there is not much use of getting excited over the imposition. Napoleon's Capricious Appetite. Napoleon had a penchant for roast fowls, cutlets and smoking coffee. He ate at odd times, and only when he felt hungry, driving his cooks to dis- traction because when he called for food it had to be ready for him almost on the instant, or at least as soon as the table could be laid. Home Defined. ; Home is a magic word, and we sel- dom try to analyze it. A little Polish girl in a public school was asked re- cently to write a definition of “home.” “A home,’ she wrote, “is where peo- ple live, and where a man or some- body comes home and finds people there, and then eats!” Credit Societies. Theere ‘are now 3,456 urban and rural co-operative credit societies in India, with a membership of 226,958. and a working capital of $3,442,580, of which only $240,590 is contributed by the government. These figures repre- sent the work of about seven years. Letter Undraped. Little Lola, aged five, went to the door in answer to the postman’s ring, and was handed a postal card, the first one she had ever seen. “Oh, mamma,” she exclaimed, “here's a let- ter for you, but it hasn't got any skirt on!” Fortune in Burro's Kick. Once, in Colorado, a miner who had been kicked in the stomach by his bur- ro found, when he began to dust off his breeches, that it was gold dust from soft quartz adhering to 'em— and he was made. Platinum. Referring to platinum, books say that “this metal has never yet been successfully deposited as a protecting coating to other metals” and add “the metal to be plated must be coppered.” Superficial, There are some people who keep their morality in the piece; it is a stuff of which they never cut them- selves a coat.—Joubert.

One of New York's leading actors has an elegant country home out in Long Igland, and he has spent a great deal of money in fitting it up with costly decorations and exquisite finish- ings. The library was recently refur- nished with a most expensive floor of beautiful parquetry, in which the owner felt a great degree of pride and of which he was scrupulously careful. A few days ago an old friend of the good old road days learned how well he was prospering and went out to call on him. He had met with re- verses financially, and also with the physical misfortune of an amputated leg, in place of which he wore a wood- en one. When the servant announced him in the library the host went in and was horrified to see the man stumping about the floor with the wooden leg, in a tour of inspection of its gorgeous fittings. Speechless at first, he was finally able to breathe a gentle hint to his friend: “1 say, Henry, old fellow, hadn't you better keep well in on the rug? I'm s0 deucedly afraid you might slip and get a fall.” “Oh, no! That's all right,” assured the guest. “Don't you worry about me. I'm ail right, thanks. There is a couple of nails in the end of the oid peg, you know."—Judge's Library. TO PUBLISH POET'S LETTERS interesting Collection of Correspond- ence of One of France's Great. est Poets Discovered. An interesting literary discovery has been made, an immense collec: tion of the correspondence of Marce- line Desbordes-Valmore, the greatest of the women poets of nineteenth century France. The letters includ: ed in it were bought one by one from the autograph dealers by her son Hip- polyte Valimore. He annoted them and meant to publish them: but when he died a bachelor of 72 about twenty years ago, there was no mention of | his intentions in his will The albums then fell into the hands of his servant, who was ignorant of their value hut did not destroy them. Finding them too cumbersome to car- ry about with her she gave them away. though without attaching any particu- lar importance to them; and now at last they have attracted the attention of a collector and are to be edited and published in the course of the autumn, The Gloomy Poets. In the course of a week a large number of poems reach this office, most of them written by persons with little experience in verse making, says the Kansas City Star. The striking thing about the ouiput, however, is not that so many persons who have never written poetry should be exper- imenting with it, but that nine-tenths of them should be so melancholy. The great majority of poems submitted for publication reflect a spirit of gentle gloom. “What are the wild waves saying?” inquire the poets with one accord. And why do they say it? Why should a sense of woe weigh us down? Why are the autumn winds so melancholy? Why is anything, anyhow? A careful reading of several hun- dred poems of this type does not leave the impression that the writers are such a gloomy lot as they might appear. One comes to believe that most of them are normally cheerful, but that somehow they have been led to suppose that sadness belongs to poetry. More Used to Horses. Here is a story that J. O. Cheno weth tells on Willlam Grafeman, the ice cream manufacturer: Grafeman had been having engine trouble with his motor car, and after each trip to the repair shop the same trouble recurred, only worse. Finally, in desperation, Grafeman called on his friend, Emil Gartner, who owns a machine of the same kind, and asked him to look the car over and see if he could find out what was wrong. Gartner carefully inspected the engine and listened to its ca-chug, ca-chug. Then, turning to Grafeman, he announced that there was nothing wrong with the engine except that one of its cylinders was “missing.” “What!” exclaimed Grafeman, in- credulous. “I'm positive all four: of them were there when I left the gar age."—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Sensitive. “You've lost him for good this time,” said the master barber to one of his assistants as a customer went out and slammed the door behind him. “Yes, but 1 forgot.” “That's no excuse. If you can't at- tend to business, you must go.” “What's the trouble?” inquired a customer. “He didn’t brush the gentleman's he ” “But his head was a bald as an esgt” .,. . -“ y, and that is why he should have brushed it. Bald-headed men are very sensitive; you must use the brush the same as if they had plenty of hair. To do so gives them an idea that you don't take particular netice of their baldness.” “*nd won't that customer return?” Neier.
