REGIMENTAL COLORS IN PAWN
Odd Experiences of British Emblems
Once Greatly Prized by Those
Who Carried Them.
The discovery of the long lost colors
of the old 50th regiment in the garden
of Funtington house, near, Chichester,
is a reminder of the strange fates that
have befallen so many of these glor-
lous military emblems, London Tit-
Bits remarks. The colors of the 81st
foot—since disbanded—were captured
by American pirates during the war
of independence and hidden away in
Ireland; the colors of the 20th regi-
ment were deliberately burnt prior to
the surrender at Saratoga to prevent
their capture by the enemy.
At Bergen-op-Zoom the Royal Scots,
to save their precious colors from fall-
Ing into French hands, sank them
deep in the river, though the enemy
later fished them out; and when the
second battalion of the 8th foot was
disbanded at Portsmouth in 1816 the
colors were cut into small pieces and
distributed among the officers.
One of the colors of the 1st North-
amptonshire regiment, which had been
carried right through the peninsular
campaign, was discovered some years
ago in a pawn broker’s shop, though
how it got there is a mystery to this
day. A similar uncertainty attaches
to a pair of old colors of the 2d Bor-
der regiment, which were recovered
from a London pawn broker, who was
offering them for sale, by Lord Archi-
bald Campbell in 1888.
Four years later four colors which
had accompanied the Gloucester regi-
ment in Egypt and in the peninsula
were recovered from a York pawn-
broker. It appeared that, having been
bequeathed by an old colonel of the
regiment to his son, they were ulti-
mately secured by a servant, who, fall-
ing on evil times, pawned them for a
few shillings.
SEVILLE STILL HAS CARMENS
Thousands of the Picturesque and
Charming Cigarette Girls Are
Employed There.
The most astonishing building in the
Calle de San Fernando is the im-
mense two story baroque edifice that
covers more ground than the cathe-
dral plus the court of oranges, and
serves the purpose of a tobacco fac-
tory. The portal is adorned with busts
of Columbus and Fernando Cortes, and
I wish very much that we had had
time to go inside and see these many
cigarette girls at their work. As we
passed I thought again of Carmen and
the story of Bizet’s fantastic Sevillian
opera, for about 5,000 Carmens, or
“cigareras,” like Carmen, are em-
ployed in this factory, and attire them-
selves today in gay gowns and fas-
cinating mantillas, with flowers tucked
under their ears and coquettishly
placed in their hair, very much like
the heroine of the opera. Like the
opera, also, adjoining the factory are
the artillery barracks, and one imag-
ines it to be quite possible that some
impressionable Don Jose should be
fascinated by some of these piquant
and Pretty Carmens.—From “Royal
Spain of Today,” by Mrs. Tryphosa
Bates-Batcheller.
See Value of Exercise.
There is no doubt but that exercise
is a good thing for those who do not
get it, but to many the daily use of
dumb-bells, weights and ' similar ap-
paratus grows irksome, the reason be-
ing a lack of stimulation owing to the
fact that the person taking the exer-
cise sees nothing accomplished as the
result of the work and time spent.
Gladstone preferred to work at the
woodpile, and here and there was the
constantly maintained interest of see-
ing the pile increase after each period
of action. The same has been accom-
plished in a real up-to-the-moment
manner by a French inventor who has
taken an exercising machine which
is rather familiar in the shape of a
bicycle on a permanent stand, and he
has combined this with a storage bat-
tery. When the various members of
the family are taking their daily exer-
cise on this machine they are storing
up current to be used in the form of il-
luminant after nightfall,
Architects Held to Account,
It is unusual for a house, however
small, to be erected in France without
the service of an architect, who not
only draws the plans, but actually su-
perintends the work. Usually it is he
who orders the building material and
assures himself that its quality is up
to specifications and requirements.
The contractor and his workmen per-
form their duties in conformity with
the architect's orders, and the latter,
who is usually a man of capital, ad-
vances the funds required in order
that the contractor need not wait for
payment until the building is com-
pleted. Moreover, the French law im-
poses on the architect a serious re-
sponsibility, since he, as well as the
contractor, is responsible for all de-
fects of construction during a period
of ten years.

OLD DOG REJOINS MASTER |
Faithfulness of Dumb Animal Won Ap-
preciation That Took the Form
of Practical Assistance.
Although every one pitied him and
wanted to be kind to him and there
was not a home in the town that
would not have been glad to take him
in and keep him, Bruce, a shepherd
dog, wandered disconsolately about
the streets of an Arkansas town. He
was pining for the only master he had
ever known. For fifteen years he
had had all that a dog wants—a good
home and somebody to love continu-
ously, and now that his old master
had gone away to California he was
broken-hearted. Perhaps, too, he
grieved over his master’s fallen for-
tunes and the fact that he had failed
in business and had been compelled
to remove to another place. Surely it
was a hard fate that parted an ever-
faithful dog from his life-long friend.
But kind eyes and sympathetic
hearts noted the old dog as he tramp-
ed wearily around the town, seeking
the one who was all the world to him
and refusing to attach himself to any
other.
Touched by the dog's misery, some
one proposed that a collection be ta-
ken to send Bruce to California to his
master. The suggestion met with en-
thusiastic approval. The hat was
passed and it required but a few min-
utes to secure enough money.
One of the old dog’s friends made a
crate, furnished it with enough food tc
last him a week, and Bruce was start
ed on his long journey to rejoin his
master.
And now, in the town where Bruce
lived so long, they miss their old fav-
orite; but a warm glow comes over
the heart when some one remarks
.about the happiness that must have
come to the faithful old fellow when
he found his master.
CAN LEARN FROM THE PAST
Poultry Breeders of Today Might
Profit by a Study of Methods
Used by the Egyptians.
The announcement is made by a
British scientist that he has discov-
ered how the ancient Egyptians incu-
bated chickens to the number of 120,
000,000 a year. He has found incu-
bators which he declares were used
in Egypt 5,000 years ago.
The secret has been well guarded,
but it is laid bare at last. They had
no oil stoves or gas or electric heated
incubators, but they had ovens which
worked much better, even though they
required more constant tending. Each
oven was calculated to hold 7,000
eggs, and the fuel by which it was
heated consisted of chopped straw and
dung, but for the last ten days of the
hatching the energy was supplied al-
together by the chickens themselves.
It is the commonest error of those
operating our modern incubators to
use too much heat, especially toward
the end of the period, and now we
may learn from the old Egyptians how
not to do things as well as how to do
them. The use of the straw and other
light fuel shows that the Egyptians
were most careful to avoid too in-
tense heat at any stage. We thought
that we were the first to use incuba-
tors, but we are fifty centuries behind
the times.
How to Keep Eggs Eleven Months.
One of the oldest methods of pre-
serving eggs is to dip them in a bath
of silicate of soda, or “liquid glass;”
but recently the wisdom of this meth-
od has been questioned, it being said
that the eggs absorb soluble silica in
sufficient amount to make them unfit
to be eaten.
Dr. Bartlett, an English chemist,
has been testing eggs so preserved,
and has proved that if the bath con-
tains free soda the eggs absorb it and
their whites become like jelly. But
when a ten per cent. solution of sili-
cate of soda be used there is none of
this absorption. After being im-
mersed for eleven months the eggs
contain no more silica than when
fresh. They are in very much better
condition than when preserved for the
same length of time by freezing, as
the pores of their shells are her
metically ciosed.
Spondylotherapy.
Spondylotherapy is the gospel of
seeing red. It has been invented and
promulgated by a San Francisco phy-
sician, and already numbers its little
squad of devotees.
The spondylotherapists declare that
red is the greatest human energizer.
A man or woman who is an habitual
victim of weariness may be stirred to
ambition and activity by wearing a
red shirt, red stockings or a red neck-
tie. A room papered or painted a
glaring red is the ideal workshop.
Redness tends to bring out the maxi.
mum of human efficiency. There is
no case of laziness so serious that it
cannot be cured by persistent spon-
dylotherapic treatment.
Why He Left Scotland.
At a Caledonian banquet in Lon-
don a Scotsman who had settled in
the metropolis made a speech, in
which Scotland and all things Scot-
tish were so fulsomely praised that an
Englishman, who sat next him, said
when he had finished: ?
“If Scotland is all that you Scots-
men say it is, why don’t you stay
“Weel,” answered the Scotsman.
“Ah’ll tell ye hoo it wis wi’ me. When
Ah wis in business in Fife Ah fand a
the fowk wis just as cliver as mesel’
an’ Ah cudna gar the two en’s meet.
‘Sae Ah cam’ awa’ Sooth, an’ sin’ syne,
‘man, Ah've been daein’ rale weel.”

In the use of ordinary pills the dose
must be increased the longer the pill is
used. That means the pill habit is being
established. In the use of Dr. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets the dose is diminished
instead of increased. That means that
permanent benefit is being established.
The “Pellets” are an aid to Nature, and
when the natural functions are re-estab-
lished the “Pellets” having done their

Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
Pure Blood Makes
Healthy People
Hood's Sarsaparilla surely and effec-
tively removes scrofula, boils and other
blood diseases, it drives out of the blood
all the humors that cause these diseases.
They cannot be successfully treated in
any other way. External applications
for their removal have proven almost
useless, because they cannot drive out
the impurities that are in the blood.
Hood's Sarsaparilla makes pure blood,
perfects the digestion, and builds up the
whole system. The skin becomes smooth,
clean and healthy, This great blood
remedy has stood the test of forty years.

“For more than a year, I suffered from

says Mrs. C. Young, of Potter St., Belle-
fonte. ‘I was sore and tender and if I
bent over, I could hardly get up again. I
never felt able to do any housework. I
had a languid feeling all the time and in
the morning, I didn’t feel like getting
dressed. Iwas troubled a lot by dizzy
spells and the kidney secretions were
unnatural. Doan’s Kidney Pills had help-
ed so many people around here with the
same trouble, that I began taking them,
procuring my supply at Green’s Phar-
macy Co. The first box cured me. It
has been three vears now since I have
