Bellefonte, Pa., March 7, 1913. DREW A FUNNY LITTLE MAN Sagamore Recorded in Maine—His Signa- ture Was a Bow and Arrow. A funny little man, drawn all with black ink, his inch-high body standing club-footed and with arms like a scarecrow—this is the signature or “mark” to the first Indian deed re- corded in the state of Maine. This deed conveyed land in South Berwick on the Piscataqua river, and was made in 1643. It is much briefer than pres- ent-day deeds, as will be seen: “Know all who these may con- sarne that Humphrey Chadbourne have bought of Mr. Roles the Saga- more of Newichawaeuke Half a Mile of Ground which lieth betwixt the Little River & the Great River to be- gin at the Northern Side of ye old Ground & for the Conformity thereof the aforesd Sagamore Mr. Roles hath hereunto set his Hand May the 10th 1643. And the sd Mr. Roles doth ex- | cept a Parcel of Ground called by the Name Comphegan wch he doth keep for himself.” The signature of Samoset, he of “Welcome, Englishman,” fame, was a bow and arrow, as seen on the deed he made to John Brown of Pemoquid long before the deed of “Mr. Roles.” But most Indian signatures deeding land to white men were random touch- | es of pen to paper, always, however, “in the presence of" white men as | legal witnesses. The eastern colonies early forbade buying lands of Indians except with | the permission and approval of the | general court; yet they did not pro- nounce Indian deeds as such to be in- | valid. But by an act of 1715, no one | not in actual possession on July 31, | 1720, could hold under an Indian deed in Maine thereafter. | CHARACTER TOLD BY TONGUE Many Ways by Which That Organ Re- veals the True Disposition of its Owner. Germany has taken up the pastime | of reading character and telling for- | tunes by the tongue. A long tongue is said to denote openness of charac- | ter; it suggests generosity and free- | handedness. Its possessor makes | friends and enemies easily, but does not save money. { When the tongue is long and thick the openness degenerates into a ten- dency to gossip and scandal. The fu- ture of the owner is beset with trou- | bles of his own making. It also in- | dicates flightiness and inconstancy. Short tongues indicate secretive- ness and dissimulation. Their owners | make good detectives and attorneys. | The owner may acquire some money by economy and guile, but has not largeness of spirit to make a great | fortune. Very thin pointed tongues | are found in different people who do not succeed in life. Short and broad ones accompany | craft and falsehood, the person who | has such a tongue is compelled by it | to deceive and betray, whatever ef-| fort he may make to keep straight. | The vibrant, quivering tongue de- notes the artistic temperament. Bril- liant carmine hue is & sign of long life, pale pink tongue denotes both weakness of character and delicacy of constitution. Canned Whole Hams. Among the methods of sending cured hams into the market, that of canning the whole ham has been in troduced by an innovating German meat packer. This was several years ago, and the new idea seems to have taken firm root in that country. The canning process, as applied te whole hams, is comparative simple, says Pure Products. After being salt ed, smoked and otherwise cured in the usual manner, the hams are placed in a can of suitable size and shape. It is then weighed and the weight marked on the outside. The space left in the can may be filled either with clean water or the ham may first be boiled and the broth, af ter the removal of the fat, may be placed with it in the can. The can is then closed and the contents ster lized. The popularity of canned whole ham may be inferred from the num ber of patents which have been issued to various inventors, who have cow ered every possible form of can for this purpose. Turkish Island Rebels. The Turkish island of Nicaria In the Aegean sea has proclaimed its independence. The inhabitants, who number about 13,000, seized and im- prisoned the Turkish officials. The island of Nicaria, which has an area of about 50 square miles, is famous in mythology for the death of Icarus, whose waxen wings melted when he was flying. At the present day it is occupied almost by charcoal burners of Greek nationality. The principal town is Mesaria, which con- sists of a group of about 200 houses. The islanders have hitherto paid an annual tribute to the Pasha of Rhodes.

A Signature to Indian Deed Mannish Modes That Are to HAPES made on lines of men’s . hats are to be worn this spring by smart dressers, and look very trim with plain tailored gowns. The models liked most are the Derby and a similar shape with a tall square crown. But along with these severe lines are gay touches of color and strictly feminine adornments in the way of rosettes of ribbon, standing “rings” of fabric (as silk or ribbon), also the smart brush of silk which has such a vogue in millinery along with other Durbar ideas, Flowered ribbon laid in plaits across the front of a black Milan shape and surmounted by a “paint brush” trim in black is one of the nobbiest hats | so far produced. Some shapes on this order have the crewn and upper brim overlaid with velvet in bright colors—such as red, royal blue, cerise and green. Not many all black hats are shown, but combinations of black with strong col ors have such a vogue as never be- fore, while black and white maintain their popularity always, in their new and proper environment. The stiff standing “brushes” used for trimming are made of silk fibers— of goura and other feathers, and sim- flar forms made of flowers and foliage are known as “stick-up” ornaments, for want of a better name. Some sim- | ple shapes are displayed without or- | nament other than a band and fiat bow across the front made of a three- inck heavy ribbon. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. | SATIN AND TAFFETA MANTLES Decided Vogue Is Apparent for These Tailor-Made and Attractive Garments. To replace the tailor-made for after- noon and visiting wear, there will be a great vogue in long, soft satin and taffeta mantles. These are quite straight and for the most part unlined and, when nct expressed in black, are carried out in strict harmony with the gowns, Large square revers, allied to equal- | ly large square shaped collars, figure on an appreciable number of models. And by why of breaking the monotony of an all-black scheme the revers are oftentimes faced with some color, such as bishop's purple, peony or a Pekin silk is pretty. But always are these contrasts veiled in black chiffon. That scems for the moment to be a hard and fast decree. Fringe also plays its part, and the mantles in their entirety are being regarded by a large fraternity of wom- en as a veritable boon for filling the anxious hour pending the definite ac- ceptance of the proposed fresh modes and styles. The Waist Line, An indication of present fashions is that the waist line will in many cases be indicated by a narrow belt of the old-fashioned sort which one has ceased to associate in one's mind with smart dressing. In very many of the newest gowns the waist is emphasized and in its normal place. As a rule,thebelt ccrresponds with the other trimmings of the gown, but this is not insisted upon, and sometimes it has no connection with it at all, but belongs wholly to the must abused re- gion of the fancy belt. Thus a striped gown has its narrow belt of folded brocade tissue, and an afternoon frock which was carried out in pompadour ‘silk emphasized its possessicn of a waist by circling it with a band of stiff, straight ribbon. Broom Holder. A drain pipe may be put to a rather novel purpose in the shape of a holder for brooms, garden tools, etc. Deco- rated drain pipes make excellent um- brella and fern stands for the hall, but when used for the purpose shown need only be decorated in a way, and a good of Tennis Costume. for tennis. With it is worn a striped coat of blue and white, orange and white, red and white, or green and white. Combinations of the various *~llega colors are also seen.

But before he left he brought his younger brother, the work. He proved as good as the first two, and then he grew too large for a $3.50 a week job and passed it along to the next in the family.

There is a runaway disease called “galloping consumption,” and that runaway, like the other, is usually the result of careless- ness. The neglected cold, the cough un- checked, bronchial affection developed, depleted vitality, blood too little in quan- tity and too poor in quality to nourish the body and renew the wasting tissue; then the runaway gallop of disease which cannot be checked. Dr. Pierce's Golden Me ical Discovery is confidently commend- ed as a cure for diseases of the respira- tory organs; obstinate co bronchitis, “weak lungs,” spitting of blood and like forms of disease which if neglected or unskillfully treated lead to consumption.
