Le Deora: Walch Bellefonte, Pa., December 11, 1914. mE She Got a New Pair. Sarcasticus and his wife were going to the theater. “Will you please go in and get my goats off the dressing table?’ said Mrs. S. “Your goats?” queried the puzzled Barcasticus. “What fangle have you women got now ?” : “I'll show you!” snapped the wife, and she sailed away and soon return- ed, putting on her gloves. “Are those what you mean? Why, I} call those kids.” “I used to.” replied Mrs. Sarcasticus, “but they are getting so old I am ashamed to any longer.” He took the hint.—Pearson’s Weekly. Comparative. “Is there any truth to the assertion made by scientists.” asked a young man recently. “that when a man and & woman have lived together for some time their facial characteristics assume a similarity?” The man to whom the question was put was supposed to be a scientist. but he chose to regard the question in a humorous tight. “There most certainly is.” he replied. “l know a man who married a widow, and she was constantly reminding him of her first hushand.” —~New York Trib- une Color Changes of the Hair. Accounting for color changes of the hair, it is explained that this change is not due to a destruction of pigment present in the hair or to a bleaching of hairs already formed, but that pig- mented hairs fall out and are replaced by unpigm=nted or white ones. Com- pletely pirmented hairs never turn gray. they fall out. It has also been observed that the process of pigment formition may cease during the de- velopnieiit of a hair. In such case the tip of the hair wil remain pigmented though the base appears white.—In- Height and Weight at Birth. Boys average a little heavier than girls, being seven and one-half pounds and girls seven and one-sixth pounds. In height or length the average for boys is 20.6 inches and girls 20.5 inches. During the first year of life a child grows more rapidly than at any other period. averaging a trifie over eight inches. Wanted Him Solemn. “Mamma,” exclaimed little Elsie, *1 know something awful about our min- ister!” “Why, what is it, dear?” asked her mother in surprise. “Why,” continued Elsie, “he was talking to a man on the street today, and I heard him laugh right out loud.” —Chicago News. ' Vengeance. No doubt you have heard a woman tell of the horrible things she would do if a man should strike her. We have often wondered what terrible things a woman would do under such circum- stances and today insisted upon an angry woman telling. After thinking awhile she said, “I'd hate him all the rest of my life.”—New York Sun. a A Finisher. “I thought you told me that Jones was a piano finisher,” said the Old Fogy. “Why, I saw him driving a moving van today.” “Well?” interrogated the grouch.— Cincinnati Enquirer.

Not much! 1 like to be gallant, but caution is my strong point.”—Philadelphia Ledger. Careless. Visitor — So that’s Miss Overton. Don’t you think she carries her age remarkably well? Artist—No, I don’t. She has dropped several years of it to my personal knowledge.—Illustrated Bita. Amiable, “They say Thelma’s husband is a very amiable man.” “Amiable! I should say so! I have known that man to laugh at a joke when he was taking down the stove- pipe.”—Baltimore American. Extremely So. “But why did you eat the cake she baked?” “I wanted to make myself solid.” “Did you succeed?’ “I should say so. I felt like a ton of lead.”—Cleveland Leader.

Modern Education. : A prominent school principal lately] told us some of the answers found in. pupils’ examination papers. Here are two of them: “What is a volcano?” “A volcano is a mountain that some- times blows the equator off.” “What is the difference between a mountain and a hill?” “A hill is like a moun- tain, only a mountain is a little more hillier.” On the Safe Side. Seed Merchant (giving information)’ —*I should say a foot between the radish and onion rows will be quite sufficient.” Prospective Amateur Gar- dener—“Think so? I think I'll be on the safe side and allow three or four feet. I don't want the radishes to have a beastly onion flavor.”—New York Advertiser, ee: In Graftville. Jim Brown lives in a community noted for the corruption of its poli- tics. He drove into town the other day with an old horse. “Hello,” said his friend Bill. “That horse of yours looks almost old enough to vote.” “Ye-as,” drawled Jim. “He has voted two or three times.” — Everybody's Magazine. Conscientious Student, “You admit that you are not smart enough to tell railroad people how to run theif business!” “Without hesita- tion.” “But I thought you had made a study of railroad problems?” “I have.

A windmill, which is said to be the largest of its kind in the world, has lately been brought into use at Harlingen, Friesland, for draining a tract of lowland redeemed from the sea by high embankments, with an area of 1,850 acres. Why Contractor Wears Derby Hat. A New York contractor always wears a derby in tunnel work, be- cause it acts as a bumper and protects his head in crowded quarters. A soft hat is little protection when one’s head strikes against the timbering of a tunnel.—Engineering Record.

Get Rid of Humors And Avoid Sickness HOOD’S SARSAPARILLA, OLD-TIME REME- DY, PURIFIES THE BLOOD. Humors in the blood cause internal de- rangements that affect the whole system, as well as pimples, boils and other erup- tions. They may be either inherited or acquired. They affect all the organs and functions, membranes and tissues, and are directly responsible for the readiness with which some people contract disease. For forty years Hood's Sarsaparilla has been more successful than any other med- icine in expelling humors and removing their inward and outward effects. It is distinguished for its thoroughnessin puri- fying the blood, which it enriches and in- vigorates. No other medicine acts like it, for no other has the same fermula or ingredients.
