Pa Bellefonte, Pa., June 11, 1915. A Flood of Wine. The Argentinians are a wine-drink- ing nation. The natives are of Span- ish descent and are accustomed to having wine with their meals. The im- migrants, whe have come in by the millions and whe form perhaps one- half of the population, are mostly Italians and Spaniards, all of whom drink wine every day. All of the small Italian farmers have their own wine supply and every one who can afford it lays in a number of casks for his own use. Moistur: Absorbed by Granite. A coat made o. granite, while per- haps not the most comfortable article of wearing apparel—although granite in thin sheets ‘is flexible-—might be thought to be storm proof; yet granite will absorb a considerable amount of moisture. If a cubic yard of granite that had been completely dried “out were immersed in pure water, it would, according to the United States Geological survey, after a short time, take up four gallons of water. Probably Mamma Knew. Little Elsie—“My papa's a mimis- ter, and that is best.” Little Grace— “My papa’s a lawyer, and that’s best, too.” Little Elsie—"“No, your papa is not a really lawyer; he just practices law. But my papa is a really minis- ter, because he just preaches and never practice... My mamma says 80.”"—Judge. Sympathetic. “It’s pretty hard to sleep on an empty stomach,” said the tramp wearily to the bustling farmer's wife. “Why, my poor fellow!” she replied, sympathetically. - “Why don’t you turn over and sleep on your back for a lit- tle while? Ye hain’t wore it out lyin’ on it, hev ye?”—Judge. Goat is Regimental Pet, The everyday goat is responsible for the nickname of the Royal Welsh fu- sileers—the “Nanny Goats.” A goat is the regimental mascot and is led at the head of the column. On St. Da- vid’s day, in the officers’ mess, the goat, escorted by drums and fife, is mazched around the table. ' Tommy's Costly Victory. Mrs. Bacon—“What’s the matter with Tommy’s face and hands? They are badly swollen.” Mrs. Egbert— “You see, they offered a prize at his school for the boy who would bring in the greatest number of dead wasps, and Tommy woa.” Sustainig Moral Energy. The moral energy of nations, like that of individuals, is only sustained by an ideal higher and stronger than- they are, to which th firmly when they feel their cot growing weak.—Henri Bergson. Daily Thought. Nine-tenths of the good that is done in the world is the result not o. laws, however wise, or of resolutions how- ever strong, but of the personal influ- ence of individual men and women.— Sir Samuel Chisholm. Credit Belongs to Labor. If we rightly estimate things, what in them is purely owing to nature and what te labor, we shall find that nine- ty-nine parts of 2 hundred are wholly to be put on the account of the labor. —Locke. How Ivy Benefits Walls, After extensive tests German ex- perts have decided that ivy benefits rather than injures stone or brick walls on which it grows by drawing superfluous. moisture from them. Good Way to Induce Sleep. Those who persist in going over in their minds the affairs of the day should sip a cup of warm water slowly or a glass of warm milk before going to bed.

Why are corn and potatoes like the idols of old? Because the corn have ears and they hear not, and the po- tatoes have eyes and they see not. Dogs Have Feet Shod. The dogs of Labrador are shod with sealskin shoes, which protect their feet from the sharp ice and enable them to draw much heavier loads. Cleaning Oil Paintings.

Ellis, who has just re turned to Buffalo’ from a four-month trip to Alaska, brings back stories of that territory which will make the mouths of western New York sports- men water. The usual tourist route is to Skaguay or one of the south- eastern coast towns and thence back to Seattle. Doctor Ellis went over the long interior route from Skaguay over the White Pass railroad to the head- waters of the Yukon and the whole length of the river, some 2,500 miles, thence out by way of Nome and back to Seattle by the ocean route, some 3,000 miles more—making a trip from Buffalo and back of some 11,000 miles. During his journey through Alaska he took side trips into 'the interior to several mining sections and into the big same and fish country. “Refore I went to Alaska,” sald Doctor Ellis recently, to a representa- tive of the Buffalo Express, “I thought [ knew what fishing was; but I did not learn until I reached that country. Now I know what fishing in a perfect- ly virgin stream is like. In the Nu- lato, with a friend, we caught brook trout of from one to three pounds un- til we tired of it. We could have caught four times as many as we did. but what was the use of killing when we had enough? I never knew any- thing like the way the trout rose to the cast. “For a time we stayed in a miner's cabin 50 miles back from the Yukon with Jim Muir, a nephew of John Muir. On the way in, a moose was killed from the wagon in which we were riding. We just missed a herd of 10,000 caribcu. There were bears all around.” 2 Doctor Ellis brought home a large number of specimens, including two perfect ‘mastodon teeth, one of which he has promised to William T. Horn- aday of New York. He also brought |. home many photographs of the scenes along his journey. MASONIC SIGN SAVED HIM Potent Signal Used by English Engi- neer on Blockade Runner Dur ing the Civil War. A story published recently desecrib- ing how a Belgian saved himself and a number of his countrymen from execu- tion, by showing a Masonic sign ta the officer in charge of the German firing party, recalls an incident in the American Civil war which was re- lated to our parliamentary correspond- ent by the late Sir William Allan, the giant engineer who sat for some years in parliament for Gateshead. Allan as a young man was adven- turous, and early in the Civil war he engaged in the hazardous busigess.of a blockade runner. His steamer was Jin due time captured by a Federal gunboat off Charleston, and boarded. As the boarding officer came up the side, Allan went below to reduce the steam, which had been forced up be- yond safety point during the pursuit. He was immediately followed by the officer, who put a pistol to Allan's head, and said: “You're going to blow up the ship!” “Oh, no, I'm not,” replied Allan; “I am going to prevent her blowing up.” “You're a liar,” snarled the Federal, and he raised his pistol arm again. At the same. moment, Allan, by a sudden inspiration, made a Masonic sign. The officer's arm dropped at once, and he said, taking Allan’s hand: “That’s all right. Now you take the ship into port.” : And there was no more trouble— except that Allan was sent a prisoner to Washington and had some thrilling adventures before he regained his freedom through the instrumentality of Lord Lyons.—Pall Mall Gazette. Woman's Gift to Baseball. Charles Bennett, famous as a catcher, for the noted Detroit team of 1886- 1887, delights in telling the story of how his wife made the first catcher’s breast protector. watch her husband acting as a target for the speedy twirlers of 30 years ago, and she determined to invent some sort of an armor to prevent the hot shots from the pitchers playing a tat- too on the ribs of her better half. After much planning, assisted by prac- tical suggestions from her husband. she shaped a pad which answered the purpose and which bore some resem- blance to the “protector” of the pres- ent day. In a private tryout it worked well and Charles, after permitting the ball to strike him repeatedly without feeling a jar, decided to use it in pub- lic. The innovation created almost as great a sensation as Bresnahan’s shin guards, but it made a hit with the catchers and they were quite ready to follow Bennett's lead.—Leslie’s. . Persistence of Early Habits. Prof. Ernest Haeckel, whose life has been an almost continuous series of great achievements, attributes his activity to his early training. “My mother,” he says, “would never per- mit me to be idle for a moment. If I stood at the window day-dreaming, she would always urge me to be up and doing. ‘Work or play,’ she would urge, ‘but do not stand idle’ Through this reiterated admonition, physical activity became a lifelong habit with me, and work almost a necessity of my being. If I have been able to ac- complish my full share of labors, this is the reason. I am never idle, and 1 scarcely know the meaning of ennui.” ’ N It was a constant | ‘source of worry to Mrs. Bennett to ! Not So as to Be Noticed. “Pa, when you say you're laying for a person it means you have a grudge against him, doesn’t it?’ “Generally, my son.” “Well, has the hen a grudge against the farmer, pa?’—Bose ton Transcript. Charged for His Suffering. “You charged $20 for giving my daughter a music lesson?” “No,” re- plied the professor, serenely. “It is only $5 for the lesson. The other fif- teen is for having to listen.” To Remove Paint.

They can even telegraph photographs now.” “Yes, and I notice that presents of flowers can be wired.” Must Rise Above Misfortune.

In use for over thirty years, and The Kind You Have Always Bought. Sra — ‘Joy in Service. A life lived for self can never be good nor great. There is only one way to save 4 life and that is to lose it in service to others. Every child is entitled to a chance “to do the things” which he is able to do for others. Service of this kind brings home the highest joy as the years come and go. It is true, this “doing” affords in childhood days an outlet fo# physical energy; but better than that it forms the habit of living for others, which will some day prove to be a fountain of perennial joy to him. g Harm in Improper Posture.

Neighborly Advice FREELY GIVEN BY A BELLEFONTE CITIZEN. When one has suffered tortures from a bad back and found relief from the aches and pains, that per- son’s advice is of untold value to - friends and neighbors. The follow- ing neighborly advice comes from a - Bellefonte resident. ‘Mrs. Sara Miller, 210 E. Howard St., Bellefonte, says: “I had pains in my back and a dull ache across my loins. I also had headaches and diz- zy spells and spots floated before my eyes. I couldn’t do any lifting and and if I sat down, I could hardly get up without help. I also had rheumat- ic twinges. Two boxes of Doan’s Kidney Pills removed the rheumatic pains and the other ailments. I have had very little trouble since.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Miller had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. 60-24-1t CASTORIA. CASTORIA.
