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.”

that of individuals, is only sustained

Daily Thought.
Nine-tenths of the good that is done
in the world is the result not o. laws,

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

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

Heron's Good Appetite.
The heron, which has an average
weight of only four pounds in spite of
its size, has been known to eat three

Why are corn and potatoes like the

GREAT FISHING AND HUNTING
Doctor Ellis Brings Home Stories of
Wonderful Sport in Interior
of Alaska.
Dr. C. J. 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.
Equal parts of ammonia and turpens
tine will take paint out of clothing,
no matter how hard or dry it is, Sat-
urate spots two or three times, then
wash in warm soap suds.
Modern Improvements.
“They certainly are improving om
the old style of sending things. They
can even telegraph photographs now.”
“Yes, and I notice that presents of
flowers can be wired.”
Must Rise Above Misfortune.
It is every man’s duty to labor in
his calling and not to despond for any
miscarriages or disappointments that
were not in his power to prevent.

ing class this morning?” “How to

‘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

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.”
