To Correspondents. Correspondents are requested to mail their regular communications so they will reach this office on Tuesday evening, if possible, and not later than Wednes- day morning. If anything of importance happens after the regular correspond- ence has been mailed it can be sent in a supplementary letter.—EDITOR. WOODWARD. Mr. Clayton Vonada and wife were callers at Miliheim Saturday. Miss Lydia Hosterman started Monday to Spring Mills to attend Summer school. Mr. John Bolig and children spent the week end with his Grandma, Mrs. Susan Brunner. Mr. and Mrs. Noah Eby spent a day recently with their son, John Eby, at Millheim. Mr. Sam Orndorf, of Coburn, with his family spent Sunday with his mother, Mrs. Wise. Mr. Tom Wolfe and family spent Sun- day at the home of William Bressler, at Spring Mills. Mr. Amos Faurer, of Laurelton, spent a short time in town at the home of Allen Yearick, on Sunday. Mr. Joe Ard, our hustling man, took Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Orndorf to Millheim Saturday evening on business. Mr. Oscar Meyer and wife, of Coburn, were callers in town at the home of her father, Mr. James Weaver, on Sunday. Spring is here for sure for work is buzzing and so are the bees. The report is out that some fellows have been stung already. Mr. Robert Miller and wife, of Mont- gomery, also Mr. Fred Miller and wife, of Mifflinburg, spent Sunday at Mrs. Phoebe Wise’s home. Don’t say that the farmers are not taking the lead when our society ladies are wearing the Barnyard straw bonnets for a change this summer. Mr. J. B. Ard and friend, Mr. Teats, of Northumberland, have started a new line of business, demonstrating the Stull Starter. Just what we need, more live wires. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Miller, and Mrs. Geo. Haines, and daughter-in-law, enjoy- ed a pleasure ride in their car and spent a few hours with Mrs. R. M. Wolfe and daughter, on Sunday. A good many of our village gentlemen enjoyed a good dinner at the L. D. Orn- dorf farm, where they were assisting Mr. Orndorf in raising a large shed. About 60 in number filled themselves to their full capacity. Mr. Luther Weaver and family enjoyed the fine spring weather, taking a ride in their car. Leaving the family in Coburn with relatives Mr. Weaver extended his trip as far as Bellefonte, taking Mr. J.W. Kerstetter to visit his sick uncle. Our little village was the attraction of a lively scene Sunday when about a half dozen cars stirred up the dust around the Woodward house, where they got a good square meal. Call again and keep a good lookout for the new proprietor. We certainly sympathize with Mr. Warren Hosterman and family who, with the aid of Dr. Frank., had to take their son Ellsworth immediately to the Belle- fonte hospital, Sunday, for an operation for appendicitis. Hope for a speedy re- covery. LEMONT. Mrs. Jennie Longwell is on the mend now. Ella Bottorf returned home from the west last week. The forest fires are destroying much of the young timber. Margaret Kerns is spending a few weeks among friends at Colyer. The fruit trees are full of blossoms, which is a promise of much fruit. The whipporwills have come again to enliven the evenings with their wailing. Prof. James Wagner and family Sun- dayed at the home of David Y. Wagner. Willis Grove and family enjoyed a few days visit at the home of William E. Grove. Saturday afternoon between four and five o'clock fire was seen in the Center Furnace school room, but before any- thing could be done the flames had gain- ed such headway that there could be very little done to save it, and in a very short time the building was in ashes. It is a big loss to College township, as it was one of the best school buildings in the township, and the insurance in the Farmer’s Mutual company will not be enough to pay for the construction of a new building. It seems that there was a stranger loafing around the building the same afternoon, but it is not known whether he started the fire. EAST BRUSHVALLEY. News is scarce this week, everybody is busy. We all welcomed that pleasant shower on Tuesday. Rev. E. L. Kessler took dinner at O. F. Stovers on Sunday. Roy Swartz purchased a fine driving horse on Friday of last week. Stanley Zeigler and John Day are very nicely nursing Mr. and Mrs. Mumps. Henry Mowery, of Aaronsburg, spent Sunday with his brother, Samuel Mowery, of this place. Several of our farmers attended the horse sale at Rebersburg last Friday, and a sorrel team was seen going east. ~——Subscribe for the WATCHMAN. | | | 1 i PINE GROVE MENTION. i Some corn is being planted.

On Saturday our baseball team went to Millheim and defeated the Millheim team by the score of 19 to 7. That was our team’s first game for the season, and on their return to the village they gave us that which Carlyle says “is a kind of inarticulate, unfathomable speech, which leads us to the edge of the infinite, and lets us for a moment gaze into that,” — usic. the | sage of Piketown-on-the-Blink, ——Have your Job Work done here. Ancient King a Terror. Mithridates, king of Pontius, is rare- ly mentioned nowadays, but in the year 88 B. C. he was the terror of the world. He killed his own family, slaughtered seven different kings and their courts, marched through Asia and left everywhere trails of dead. He invaded Greece and there slaughtered nearly half a million human beings, then he marched against Rome with awful carnage. In his own army he lost only 85,000 men, but he is thought to have killed at least twenty times that number of his enemies. Languages of the World. Strange as it may seem, there are more than four thousand languages spoken by mankind, while the num- ber of dialects exceeds this. There are more than sixty vocabula-ies in Brazil and in Mexico the Nahua is broken up into some seven hundred dialects. There are hundreds in Borneo, while in Australia there is no classifying the complexities. Assum- ing that 50 dialects on the average belong to each language, we have the colossal total of 250,000 linguistic va- rieties. Various Seats of Memory. It is seriously doubted, from re- cent researches, that the memory resides in any particular tissue such as the brain, the ganglion cells or the nerves. It has been proved experi- mentally by a host of laboratory scien- tists that any kind of human tissue, such as skin, muscles, stomach, kid- neys or any part of the fabric of life, retains and is able to repeat an im- pression once received.—Dr. Leonard Keene Hirshberg. First English Newspaper. The first newspaper printed in the English language, with its old English type and its quaint account of events in foreign countries, was a pamphlet issued in 1621. Its title, “Corrant or Nevves From Italie, Germanie, France and Other Places,” is as curious as its contents. For many years it had been supposed that no copy of the : Corrant was in existence but recently a copy of this interesting document was discovered.—Exchange. Consoling Philosophy. Perhaps if one were browsing around, amusing himself trying to hit upon the most consoling bit of philosophy ever written, this of So- crates would be easy to surpass. “If all our misfortunes were laid in one heap, whence every one must take an equal portion, most people would be content to take their own and de- part.” Now, Jasper! “There is one thing that has al- ways refused to ooze through my noodle,” remarked Jasper Knox, the “and that is this: If, as the newspapers would have us believe, all brides are beautiful, where in Sam Hill do all the home! married women come from ?”’—Judge. Just and Calm Manner. Nothing can be a better influence for any child than a just and calm manner of elders in the family, and a reasonable regularity of life. Such examples breed followers of like qual- ities and habits which are healthful in | the highest degree.—Exchange. I Heat in Wood and Coal. It takes a cord and a half of short- leaf pine, hemlock, red gum, Douglas fir, sycamore and soft maple to equal a ton of coal, and two cords of cedar, redwood, poplar, -catalpa, white pine. “Rose of Hell.” The “Rose of Hell” is the name given to a flower that blooms on a tree of great size and strength grow- ing on the sides of Mount Agua—a high peak among the rugged moun- tains of Central America. Will Prove It Himself. There is no excuse for using abrupt and inelegant language in accusing a man of deliberate mendacity, Let him go on talking and if he is what you think he is he will tell it on himself. What Is Real? The professor who went five days without eating says the pain caused by starvation is almost purely im- aginary. Maybe so, but the pleasure of eating is real. 2 Without Exception. Every normal girl passes through a period when she wishes her name were Celeste or something of the kind. —Columbus (0O.) Journal. Doing Well on Small Means. It is no small commendation to man- age a little well. He is a good wagoner that can turn in a little room.—Bishop Hall. And Deserves Them. Then, again, 1t is the fellow who goes fishing for compliments who gets the most rebuffs.—Pittsburgh Sun. To Prevent Cheese Molding. A good way to prevent cheese from molding is to wrap it in a cloth wrung out in vinegar and then in paper. Norway pine, cypress, basswood, spruce and SPRING MILLS. C. P.

HIS EXPERIENCE. You have a right to doubt state- ments of people living far away but can you doubt Bellefonte endorse- ment? Read it: John H. Klinger, 220 E. Lamb St., Bellefonte, says: “I was annoyed by weak kidneys most all the time. At night my rest was broken by having to pass the kidney secretions too fre- quently and in the morning I felt tired. Doan’s Kidney Pills were so highly recommended that I got a box at Krumrine’s Drug Store and began using them. They relieved the backache and strengthened my kidneys.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Klinger had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. 60-18-1t Coal and Wood. A. G.
