AEE Bemoreaiic; fat Bellefonte, Pa., June 18, 1915. EE ————————— 15 Much in Brief Crean, Tt is written of one 0: che must eminent of Englishmen why was die- tating to his amanuensis chapters of an important work, and while so en- 8aged was overcome by sleep. He dreamed of matters of great moment, of diplomatic conferences, exhausting many days and weeks. Becoming awake he chided his secretary for per- mitting him to -~leep, and was astound- ed to be told by the scrivener that he had not finished the last sentence that had been dictated. Volumes have been written crammed with such ex- Deriences in infinite variety. Enlargea Tonsiis and Adenoids. Before operating to re move adenoids and tonsils the health of the child should always be built up. if there is an existing cold this musi be :reated and cured. If the teeth are decayed they must be filled. Treating the teeth and the practicing of deep breathing exercises will be all that is needed to cure tonsil disease if iv. is strictly local, and not the expressicn of a systematic condition or some re- cent infection. Danger in Waiting. Just because an Oregon scientist da- clares that old men do the best work is no reason, of course, why young fellows should put off contemplated achievements until the arrival of Je- clining years. It may be that the mua who accomplishes little in his early maturity will make up for the lack when he starts down the western slope of life. It doesn’t sound reasonable, however. M22 €lave 'y Hereditary. The first form: | recognition of ne gro slavery in Vi'ginia was March 1, 1661, when the assembly declared that “negroes are incapable of making sat- isfaction for the time lost in running away, by additicn of time,” and slav- ery vas made hereditary in Virginia in 1662 by an act of the assembly that the issue of slave mothers should fol- low their condition. Weeping Willows. The weeping willows, so-called (sci- entific name S. babylonica), is a na- tive of China, from whicl. country it has been taken over mist of the civilized earth. It varies in height and dimensions, according to climate and soil, and invariably maintains its drooping habit, the chief cause of its attractiveness. Horse Chestnut Tree in Bottle. Horse chestnuts can be grown in a bottle of water. neck wide enough to hold the chest- nut, adding water to just touch the nut and stand it in a window. Roots will form, followc” by a stem and leaves. | If the water © constantly supplied the tree can gro. for years in the bottle. The Submarine. To get a submarine ready for diving water is admitted into the “ballast” €anks. To keep the vessel on an even keel water is taken inte the “trim- ming tanks.” By means of these tanks the vessel is made te sink or ! rise, and to preserve the right posi- tion. \ Fast on the Wing. Homing pigeons in calm weather can travel at a speed of 1,290 yards a minute. With a brisk wind prevail ing and blowing in the direction of its flight, a pigeon has been known to make 1,900 yards a minute. Puzzle for Papa. Small Sadie’s father is a traveling man, and during his absence a new baby arrived. Upon his return Sadie met him at the door and exclaimed: “Oh, papa, you can’t guess who was born while you were away!” — With Provisos. “Well, we’ll tell you, George, frank- ly. You ean marry on $500 a year, yes. Provided you have saved your Iast year’s salary, and likewise pro- vided you can get your next year’s sal ary in advance.” Business vs. Idieness. The importunities and perplexities of business are softness and luxury compared with the incessant cravings of vacancy and the unsatisfactory ex. pedients of idleness.—Doctor Johnson. To Remove Paint. Equal parts of ammonia and turpen- tine will take paint out of clothing, no matter how hard or dry it is. Satu rate spots two or three times, then wash in warm soapsuds.

FORESAW WARFARE IN AIR Horace Walpole Recognized the Value of the Balloon, While It Was in Its Infancy. A remarkable prediction of the part that aerial machines would one day play in warfare was made by Horace Walpole—describe?¢ by Lord Macau lay as the best letter writer in the English language—in a letter written from his famous Gothic “castle,” Strawberry Hill, to the countess of Upper Ossory on October 23, 1784. Not only d'1 Walpole forecast the use of airships in war, but he also sugegected the century in which such warfare would be waged. He wrote: “Balloons is a subject I did not in- tend to tan. If they can be improved into anything more than Brobding- nag kites, it must be in a century or two after I shall be laid low. A cen- tury in my acceptation, means a hun- dred years hence. After one ceases to be, all duration is of the same length; and everything that one ‘guesses will happen after oneself is no more is equally a vision.” Walnole goes on to speak of the “airv vehicles” with which the atmos- phere may be peopled hereafter, and says he does not care to discuss the question. “How much more expeditiously the |. East, West or South will be ravaged and butchered than they have been by the old-fashioned clumsy method of navigation.” “lI smile,” says Walpole, “at the adoration paid to these aerial Quix- otes. I observe that no im- provements of science or knowleddge makes the world a jot wiser.” The first successful ascents in a balloon had been made by Montgolfier in 1783. ‘GREAT LIBRARY OF LEMBERG The Latest Statistics of the Univer- sity Collectiors in the European War Zone. The last report of the Lemberg Uni- versity librarv was printed in No. 3 of the Polish Monthly Ksiazka. It re- cords an increase of 5,505 titles in the library in 7,950 volumes, making a to- tal of 240,000 volumes. Of these, 1,644 | volumes came as gifts from the Gali- | cian publishers, 1,983 volumes from | institutions and government publica- | tions and 1,278 from individuals or | private institutions. In 1913 67,935 i readers used 220,317 volumes in the reading rooms and 8,917 readers : called for 17,710 volumes for outside . reading, making a total of 76,852 read- {ers and 237,183 volumes. The in- | crease in circulation was 1,455, thanks to easier access to the improved card | catalogue and handy catalogue of pe- ! riodicals and publications in the li- | brary. The University library of Lemberg . was founded in 1774 by Joseph II from the books of the confiscated cloisters . of Galicia. In 1848 it was almost com- pletely destroyed by fire. Its collee- | tion was restored from contributions | of duplicates from the Biblioteka Os- | solinskich ana the collection of S. | Borkowski. so that in 1898 it once | more contained 100,000 volumes. Why He Didn’t Contribute. “About the very poorest excuse I | have ever heard for a rich man not to ' make a contribution to charity, a spe- cific case where a lot of us were try- ing to do something for an excellent local cause,” said a Brongxite, ‘the New York Sun remarks, “was handed out to ms by a wealthy friend on whom I had been sent to call by the committee because he was my friend. I stated the case to him and asked him for $100—Ilittle enough consider- Ing what he had—but did I get it? Not any. Neither did I get anything, and his excuse was that his income tax was so heavy he really couldn’t afford to spend any money except for per- sonal necessities. He was dead seri- ous about it. too. and didn’t see any- thing incongruous in it even when I gave him the laugh. He isn’t an alto- gether stingy man, either, but that income tax somehow had got on his nerves.” Tea and The. At a tea given at the Ruhl in Nice to the officers of the Mediterranean fleet, E. Royal Tyler, the well-known author, said, nodding toward a sign, “The Dan- sant,” which might be translated “Tango Tea.” : “A French maid, when I refused tea the other afternoon, exclaimed: “ ‘But monsieur is not like his fel- low-countrymen, then!’ “ ‘Not like them? How 80?’ I said. “‘Why, said the maid, ‘I picked up one of your American novels the other day—a Howells novel—and, though I can’t read English, I saw there was nothing but ‘tea,’ ‘tea,’ ‘tea,’ on every page. Now people who talk so much about tea must be inordinately fond of it, n’est-ce pas, monsieur? “She thought, you see, that our ar- ticle ‘the’ had the same meaning as ‘the’ in French.” Draft Oxen in England. Owing to the demands of the war office there is such a dearth of horses for harvest purposes in the north of England that farmers are training oxen for the reapers and the plows, and it is not an unusual eight to see an old horse, long past the stage when he would attract the eye of a remount officer, yoked with a steer. There are many who would be glad to see a re- vival of the use of oxen for certain draft purposes, since it would prob ably lead to an increased raising of cattle for beef purposes. -_,S - The Honor of the Boy Scout. The most important scout virtue is that of honor. Indeed, that is the basis of all scout virtues and is closely al lied to that of self-respect. When a scout promises to do a thing on his honor, hc is-bound to ‘do it. The honor of a scout will not permit of anything but the highest and the best and the manliest. The honor of a scout is a sacred thing, and cannot be lightly set aside or trampled on.—From the Boy Scout Handbook. The Foy Who Dreams. It is a good thing for the farmer boy to have an imagination, says the Prai- rie Farmer. It is a good thing for him to “dream dreams and see vi- sions.” It takes a dreamer to see the transformation that intelligent effort AA will bring to pass on the old .place. | It takes a dreamer to see how much more desirable that place will be in ten years than a job in a dry goods store.— Emporia Gazette. The Silent Hour. One of the most valuable and ef- fective methods of relaxation, recently tried for both children and mother, has been “the silent hour” immedi- ately after lunchecn. Each member of the family’s privilege of reading, writing or sleeping is respected dur- |! ing this hour, in which children—atter | Hindu proverb, look into still water; a few days’ trial—readily co-operate. Lesson From the Lily. How easily we lose poise, swept by the current of life! Our root is not deep enough. Consider the lily rest- ing on the face of the waters, its roots far below. How serene it rides the ripples, and how confidently it has sought the light, that its life may ex- pand therein above the turbulence of the waves!—Trinities and Sanctities. Fully Prepared. “How is this, Herr Zwetscke? You have got your room full of oleanders and other tropical plants, and a tele- phone, 1 see.” “You see I have been asked to compose a poem on spring, that is why I have had a telephone laid on the public park to enable me to listen to the singing of the birds.”=— Der Floh.

He would if he followed “honest nature’s rule” and lived a more even life. Middle life sees the average man prematurely old. He is gray or bald, his face wrinkled, his eyes blurred, his hands tremulous. He has overdrawn his account with Nature and she is staving off the total bankruptcy of the body as long as she can. How long she can do this depends upon the man himeelf. He can aid Nature greatly. The best aid to Nature is the use of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It supplies the material by which the physi- cal deficiencies can be made gond. 1t increases the quantity of the blood and purifies it. The use of the “Discovery” with proper attention to general hygiene will insure a sturdy old age. Shoes. Shoes.
