Wonderful Cuban Caves.
The wonderful caves of Bellamar,
Cuba, to the east of Havana, attract
the attention of the ambitious tourist.
They are on a plateau as level as a
table top, which presents no signs of
the existence of such caves. After
" descending into the earth, however, a
picture unfolds itself. Then come many
passages, and at last the great “Goth-
ic temple,” 250 feet long and 80 feet
wide.
Skunks Enemies of Caterpillars.
A new field of usefulness has been
found for the much-ridiculed skunk in
the fact that it is a vigorous enemy of
the full-grown range caterpillars. Birds
are of no service whatever in destroy-
ing these large caterpillars, but skunks
devour quantities of them, and this is
another reason why these little crea-
tures should receive more considera:
tion than they now do.
Loyal to Aunt May.
Aunt May was the favorite aunt of |
little Ellen. One day the former said
to her, naming three other aunts,
“Which do yeu like best, Aunt Anna,
Aunt Emily or Aunt Palmer?”
Ellen looked thoughtful a moment and
then said, “Why, I like Aunt Anna
better than Aunt Palmer, but I don’t
like anybody best what ian’t you.”

Onion’s Good Properties.
From the best authorities we learn
that colds are caused by three things
—a chill, a germ and a uric acid ten-
dency which provides a soil for the
germ’s growth. The pungent oil of the
onion neutralizes and destroys the
germs that infest the mouths of us |
all, even of those in good health.
Invented in 1589.
The knitting frame was invented in
1689 by William Lee, a graduate of
Cambridge university and a native of
Woodborough, near Nottingham, Eng-
land. So perfect was the invention in
every detail that to this day the essen-
tial feaures of the machine continue
in use for the class of work to which | must be pay day with him.

small quantity of fresh lime and add
water until it has the consistency of | =
cream; stir well and add one pound of
alum, 12 ounces of commercial potash
and about one pound of salt. Stir
again and apply while hot. Two or
three coats will keep wood fireproof
for many months.
Greatest Poets.
Homer, Lucretius, Dante, Shake-
speare, Goethe, Milton, Shelley, Byron,
Tennyson, Browning. Perhaps others
might be added.

To Clean Copper.
Copper articles that have become
discolored can be made to look new |
again by rubbing them with lemon
dipped in salt and afterward rinsing
in clear hot water and polishing with
a soft cloth.
Trouble.
“Are you coming when I call you,
or is there going to be trouble?” said
papa to his four-year-old daughter. “I
t’'ink dere’s goin’ to be trouble, papa,”
replied the tot, keeping out of reach.
Keep Up the Fight.

Kilometer.
A kilometer is a length of 1,000 me-
ters, equal to 3,280 feet, or 0.621 of a
mile. The kilometer is the chief unit
for long distances in the metric sys-
tem of measurement.

The Fishing Banks. ;
Newfoundland would be nothing ;
without the great submarine plateau
known as the “banks,” on which all
the fishing is done. At a small sta-
tion within the edges of the great bank
that the cod loves so well the sea is
quite smooth. It is usual for vessels
fishing on the banks to inquire from
those that have arrived frem the open
sea as to what sort of weather it is.

Quiet Shoes.
To make nice sick-room shoes in
which you can step about softly, cut
from old felt hats sole and heel
pieces. Glue these on and you have
a quieter shoe than those sold as
nurses’ shoes. The patter of little
feet, so hard on some people’s nerves,
is easily deadened by the same meth-
od, also helping to keep the little feet
warm when playing on a cold floor.
Finest Dates Grow There.
Beyond the land of the Berbers,
in the far south of Morceco, lies the
great oasis of Tafilet, famous for its
vast groves of date-palms. Here, for
hundreds of square miles, the land
is covered with a thick growth of the
tall, straight stems of the palm, and
the product of these close-growing
trees is enormous in quantity. They
produce the finest dates in the world.
Good and Evil.
We often try in vain to cut up our
errors by the roots, to fight evil hand
to hand on its own ground, where it
most sure way to victory is by devel-
oping and fortifying the good that is in
us. We have but a certain measure
of strength and activity; as much of
this as is added to the good is taken
from the evil—Mme. Swetchine.

PEOPLE SIMILARLY SITUATED.
Can there be any stronger proof
offered than the evidence of Belle-
fonte residents? After you have
read the following, quietly answer
the question.
Mrs. James Rine, 239 High St.,
Bellefonte, says: “My trouble was
a torturing pain across the small of
my back. It was constant and grind-
ing and kept me in misery. I tried
several medicines without finding re-
lief. Finally I used Doan’s Kidney
Pills and before I had taken one box,
I was free from pain in my back. At
that time I told of my experience in
a public statement and I now take
- pleasure in confirming that endorse-
ment. The benefit Doan’s Kidney
Pills brought has been permanent.”

Wreaths for the Victors.
In classic times successful warriors,

came from a tree which botanists call
“laurus nobilis.”

PERSONALITY
after all is largely a matter of being and feeling well
dressed.
And it’s the wan who is habitually well dressed who most
appreciates the fact.
‘““High Art’ Clothes
are a favorite with men of personality, because they have a person-
ality themselves.
In every minute detail they are minutely correct. In the
broad effect of the whole they are perfect. Every ‘‘High Art”
garment is an individual-designed cut to express an individual at
his best.
You know the minute you get into ‘‘High Art’ clothes, be-
cause they feel just right, fit just right and are just right.
