Bellefonte, Pa., December 4, 1914, REGRETS. Try to so direct your thoughts, your words, your actions, your whole life, in short, that regrets can find no room for intrusion. - Regrets never follow virtuous ac- tions. No one is sorrowful because, in looking back on his past life, he sees that it has been self denying and full of labor for others. If he does ‘grieve at the retrospect it is because his efforts have been so imperfect and because he has done far less than it was his duty to do. Delaware’s Circular Boundary. The northern boundary line of Dela- ware is circular because the charter given to Penn states that Pennsylvania was to be ‘‘bounded on the east by the Delaware river from twelve miles distant north of Newcastle town until the three and fortieth degree of north latitude.” and that the southern bound- ary was te be *‘a circle drawn at twelve miles distant from the town of Newcastle northward and westward until the fortieth degree of north lati- tude and then by a straight line west- ward.” This makes a circular bound- ary for northern Delaware unavoid- able, and the facts above set forth ex- plain a geographical curiosity that has puzzled many students. And George Did. The battleship schools have made some startling contributions to litera- ture. Here is the essay of a Filipino sailor who was told to write about George Washington: “George Wassingham was sore be- cause Americal persons is not free. He sale to England on — (naming his own battleship) ship and say to King. ‘I express declaracion of indypendence for Americal persons.’ King he say. ‘Nothin doin.’ And Mr. Wassingham tell Admiral Dewey to shoot turret guns at him. Bime by king he say he will not rile Americal persons egain. ‘Let George do it.’ say king, and today Americal persons is free.” He Dazed Lew Wallace. Shortly after the first success of “Ben-Hur” Lew Wallace had occasion te go over to London and one day pick- ed up a pirated copy of the novel at a railroad newsstand. To his amaze- ment he found the subtitle left off, a preface interpolated and one of the chapters rewritten. Of course he boil- ed with rage, and as soon as possible he called on the publisher. That gen- tleman coolly admitted his crime and told Wallace he thought the amended form better adapted to the British taste, doncherknow. His gall was so stupendous that the novelist was awed and went away without spilling his gore. Begin Now to Live. After a long stern chase I am con- vinced that the ingredients of happi- ness are very few and simple. The trouble with most of us is that we think we want too many things and so miss our true aim in the effort to ob- tain them. It is better to put beaucy in your life than money in your purse. Gilt edged stocks will not compensate you for the poverty of the mind. A city mansion and a country house, the seductions of society and the vain pursuit of the aniseed bag will not make up to you for a dearth of soul life. Cut out the superfluities—and be- gin to live.—Michael Monahan in “At the Sign of the Van.” - Hotter Than Our Sun. Scientific research shows that the sun has a temperature of 4,950 de- ‘grees; Aldebaran, that beautiful star in Taurus, 5.150 degrees; the polar star, 5,200 degrees, and the dog star Sirius, 7.500 degrees. This goes to show that the sun is undoubtedly one of the coldest of the stars. It also is evidence that the absurdly low tem: Deratures of the earth which living things here consider hot are. as com- pared with the heavenly bodies, re- gions of frigidity. Even the electric furnace, with its 8,500 degrees of heat. is as ice compared with temperatures in the dog star and the others.—New York American. Granted. A sweet faced old lady walked up Fifth avenue hanging on to the arm of her husband, who was a little bit hard of hearing. A girl brushed past them rudely, bumping into the little old lady. “She didn’t even say ‘Excuse me,” she said indignantly to her husband. “What, my dear?’ he inquired mildly. The old lady repeated her statement in a louder tone. Still the old gentle man did not understand. : “Excuse me!” she shrieked above the rush and roar of the automobiles. “Certainly, my dear,” he answered graciously. “But what did you do?”— New York Post. Forced Economy. “Poor Tom! It cost him a terrible lot to give up his sweetheart.” “Then why did he?” “Because it would have cost him a great deal more if he hadn’t.”—London Tatler. —Put your ad. in the WATCHMAN: ~ Question of Height. Lady Southwark, in her recently pub- lished reminiscences, tells a story of an Irishman who was cutting turf near a bog when a friend came up to him, crying: “Patrick is stuck in the bog up to his ankles.” “Don't worry, then,” was the reply; “if he’s only up | to his ankles he can soon get out again!” “Yes, but he went in head first!” retorted the other.—Pearson’s Weekly. —————————— — To Seal Bottles. Bottles may be securely sealed in the following manner: Melt together a quarter of a pound of sealing wax, the same quantity of resin and two ounces of beeswax. When the mixture froths, stir it with a tallow candle. As soon as each ingredient is melted, dip the tops of the corked bottles in the mix- ture. It will completely exclude the air. ‘ Spirit of Independence. “The spirit of American independ- ence is growing stronger every year.” “Mebbe ’tis,” assented Uncle Flop- sole. “Mebbe ’tis. When I was a young feller they had a man to call the figgers at a dance. An’ you bet we tried to mind him. Now every- body gets out on the floor an’ lets his feet do jes’ about as they please.” Sweet Grass. We never know how much sweet- ness there is in grass till it is cut. Sev- ered from the root, it gives out a per- fume which the garden itself can hardly rival. Misfortune instead of making us bitter, should bring out the sweetness of the spirit, like the fra- grance of the mown grass. enter Superstition. “What worries me about my wife,” said Mr. Meekton, confidentially, “is that she is getting superstitious.” “What about?” “Me. Whenever any- thing goes wrong she always manages to figure it out that I'm the person who brought bad luck into the fam- ly” nei a Be Guaranteed. “What makes that man start laugh- ing when he tells a story?’ “He al- ways announces that it will be a funny story, doesn’t he?” asked Miss Cayenne.” “Yes.” “Well, I suppose he laughs to show that he has the courage of his convictions.” ——————————————————— Use for Old Records. Old talking machine records make very nice table mats for hot dishes. The mats can be made by gluing ashes- tos on both sides of records and cover- ing with linen or cretonne and binding it with a brass strip with same mate- rial sewed into place. Stuffed Cats Scare Birds. A novel method of scaring away birds has been adopted by a Kentish (England) farmer. He has killed a number of cats, had them stuffed and placed them in various attitudes among the branches of the fruit trees in his orchard. Attuned to Higher Things. “What's the matter with the eleva- tor?” asked the nervous man. “You keep trying to run it through the roof.” “You'll have to excuse me,” replied the operator. “I'm not used to one of these little 20-story build- ings.” Still Soaking Sapleigh. Sapleigh — “They say one should learn from the mistakes he has made and the foolish things he has done.” Miss Keen—“If you followed that ad-' vice, Mr. Sapleigh, you’d be one of the brightest men on earth.” To Get Rid of Ants. Sprinkle the place infested with red pepper or powdered borax or paint with a pure solution of carbolic acid. Follow the trail of the ants to the place of entrance and use the prevent- ive freely. Desperate Wish. “Militant suffragettes have been de- stroying pictures!’ “I wish one would happen around our flat before I'm called to climb a stepladder and take charge of the mural decorations.” ————————————————————— Daily Thought. As my life today has been deter- mined by the way I lived my yester- day, so my tomorrow is being deter- mined by the way I live today.—Ralph Waldo Trine. RE A —————— Here Is an Idea. Instead of trying to stir up trouble in this old world, let us get busy and help those who are in trouble and see how much we shall enjoy the change. Have Thought on Every Act. We prepare ourselves for sudden d&eds by the reiterated choice of good or evil that gradually determines char- acter.—George Eliot. et ————————————— Original Scotch Capital. For many generations Perth, and not Edinburgh, was the capital of Scotland. ————————————— Darkness of Ignorance. There is no darkness but ignorance. —S8hakespeare. | would murder them directly if it were Buried Treasures In Morocco. | In Morocco it is customary - for al man to bury most of his riches in a place known only to himself. This cus- tom is practiced by all Moors, for they cannot trust their own family, who known where the money was. At the death of the head of a family in Mo- Ryr—— Gilbert K. Chester “Mr. no more for half an hour.” ton, the English satirist, was an extraordinarily stout man. An English newspaper, describ- ing a meeting at which Mr, Chester- ton was the principal speaker, said: Chesterton then mounted the platform, and the chairman was seen Meat Market. Attorneys-at-Law.

There must be many fortunes buried away in odd corners of the country. An instance came under the writer's notice at one of the coast towns. During the demolition of a house a considerable sum of money was found built into the wall.—London Graphic. Ups and Downs. “Ups and downs,” said an etymolo- gist, “is a phrase of curious aptness. “Take ups. Aviators tell us, balloon- ists tell us. alpinists tell us. that the higher one ascends the more exhila- |* rating grows the air, so that it is quite common. at a height of a mile or so, for men to sing and shout in pure hilar- “ity and joy. So much for ups. “Take downs. Submarine boatmen and divers and miners tell us that the deeper one descends below the earth's surface the sadder one becomes. Those depths resound with oaths. groans, sobs. So much for downs. “Ups and downs—an apt phrase, truly.”—New Orleans Times-Picayune. Why a Lake Is Like a Person. A lake resembles a living being in many ways. It has a pulse. Its sur- face rises and falls rhythmically. It has a circulation. Its water not only ebbs and flows, but there are undercur- rents by which the life giving oxygen is carried to organisms which dwell in its depths. It does muscular work. | The shores are eroded, and wharves are moved by the ice pressure. It di- gests food, and some lakes, sad to say, sometimes have indigestion. And so we might continue the comparison and | tell of its smiles and frowns and the! music of its waves upon the shore.— Atlantic Monthly. en et ————————— Blended. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes, once said that he wrote his first book at the age of six. It appears to have been a story of adventure of the most exciting kind. “There was a man in it and a tiger,” Sir Arthur said. “I forget which of the two was the hero of the story, but it didn’t matter which because about the time the tiger met the man they became blended into one!” All Hanging On.

Pure Blood Makes Healthy People HOOD’S SARSAPARILLA, OLD-TIME REME- DY, MAKES PURE BLOOD. Hood's Sarsaparilla surely and effect- ively removes scrofula, boils and other blood diseases because it drives out of the blood all the humors that cause these dis- eases. They cannot besuccessfully treat- ed any other way. The use of external applications for their removal has been * Proven to be almost useless because they cannot drive out the impurities that are in the blood. Hood's Sarsaparilla makes pure, rich 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. Insist on having Hood's, for noth- ing else acts like it—there is no “just as Rood’ medicine, no real substitute.
