Belletonte, Pa., August 6, 1915. | The Town to Be Born In. In the German town of Klingenberg, near Aschaffenberg, Bavaria, in addi- tion to having no rates to pay for the upkeep of the town, those actually born in the parish receive from the municipality a sum of £12 15s. a year. This sum, if invested regularly at, say, 3 per cent, would entitle the owner to receive about £1,500 at the age of sixty —a very handsome old age pension. Were it not necessary that the inhab- itants should prove that they were born in the parish before becoming entitled to this payment the popularity of Klingenberg as a place of residence would doubtless be enormous.—West- minster Gazette, Anglo-Saxons. The term “Anglo-Saxon” comes from the fact that England was largely set- tled, after the old Briton rule, by the “Angles” and ‘‘Saxons” from Germany. The Saxons were, of course, from Sax- ony, and the Angles took their name from a town near Sleswick called An- glen. The Anglo-Saxons are, there- fore, of Germanic breed. It may be said in passing that the Germans, Eng- lish, Americans of English ancestry, Danes, Dutchmen, Swedes and Norwe- glans are all of the same stock.—New York American. "77" 7 "Two Definitions. Man.—A being of such lofty powers and ideals we wonder he does not do better and of such low and sordid in- stincts we wonder he does so well; the maker of destinies he plays with and the player of games he takes seri- ously. ‘Woman.—Another kind of man; once man’s slave, then his comrade, now his competitor. She is the first word in humanity because the mother of it, and she bids fair to be the last word as well as to have it.—Woman’s Home Companion. : Famed For Their Tattooing. The Maoris used to be noted for their tattooing, which was designed to clothe as well as ornament the body. Who- ever refused to undergo the protract- ed tortures of tattooing required at ev- ery important event of his life was re- garded as a person by his own consent foredoomed to slavery. The men were actually depilated in order to increase the surface for tattooing, while for the young women the operation was lim- ited to the lips, whence the term “blue lips” applied to them by the English. Must Keep It Dry. The teacher had explained to a pri- mary class the difference between sol- ids and liquids and illustrated her | points by objects kept on a table When she thought her pupils had grasped the idea she held up her watch and asked, “Now, children, must I put this among the solids or among the | liquids?" “*Among the solids, teacher,” a bright little boy replied. “Why not among the liquids?” she asked. *‘Be- cause,” replied the little fellow—*be- cause if you do you will get it wet.” Weather and Conscience. Old Zeb Hawkins sat on a log near the bridge one Sunday morning, cast- ing anxious glances at an uncertain | sky now and then. His willow fish pole and a can of bait lay at his feet. | Before he had quite decided on the | ‘weather the minister came by, having | taken a short cut owing to the fear of a sudden shower. ‘Well, Brudder Zeb, | is you gwine to chu’ch or is you gwine | fishin’ ?” he asked. “Ah dunno yet,” said Zeb. “Ah’m jest a-wrastlin’ wif ma conscience.” Taking Dogs Abroad, In Great Britain there is a strict pro- hibition against the admission of dogs , from other countries. The only way | in which a dog can be landed in Great ; Britain is through a permit from the | British agricultural department, which i must be secured before the dog can be | taken ashore on British soil. The | quarantine against dogs in other coun- tries, too, is more or less strict, but lit- | tle difficulty will be encountered in get- ting them landed. The usual fee for | the transportation of a dog across the | Atlantic is $10.—New York Post. | | i Sheridan Made the Rime.

During the winter the coldness robs up all pleasures from our hands, but at the summer month they are set free. Moonlight on the sky shivers quartzy luster over ripples of the lake. The cuckoo singing near by plays on a harp, and the far viewing of light shaded mountains may be joyfully looked at through wide unobstructed space of the sea.”—Woman’s Home Companion. London’s Once Fashionable Church. St. James’, Piccadilly, once the most fashionable church in London, was built mainly at the expense of Henry Jermyn, the earl of St. Albans, who gave his name to neighboring Jermyn street and probably married Queen Henrietta Maria, the widow of Charles I. It is hideous externally, but the in- terior, for which alone Wren was real- ly responsible, is considered one of the great architect's masterpieces. Few parishes have had so many distinguish- ed rectors, among them being several archbishops and bishops and Dr. Sam- uel Clarke, the eccentric divine, who took his daily exercise by jumping over chairs and tables.—Westminster Ga- zette. London's “Ragged Schools.” The first organized society in the world to deal with the education of slum children and waifs of the street was established in London in 1845 un- der the name of the ‘Ragged School union.” The Earl of Shaftesbury was the chairman, and William Locke and S. Starey were the principal organiz- ers. The first *‘ragged school”—the name popularly given to the free schools for outcast, destitute and rag- ged children of London and other Eng- lish cities — was founded by John Pounds, a cobbler, at Portsmouth in 1839. Hundreds of these schools are still in existence, although in London by other institutions. Fashions In Diseases. There are curious fashions in dis- eases. How a doctor would stare at a patient who complained of the eight- eenth century megrims! And from Dorothy Osborne's letters it is evident that the spleen was the favorite seat of malady then. If you didn’t feel well it was the fault of your spleen. Today, I suppose, there are few men or women who could point to the spot of their spleen or tell what it does or doesn’t do. There was a tremendous run on appendicitis some years ago, malady — after he had retired from practice—announced that the operation is usually superfluous.—London Chron- icle. Answered.

He pointed to a small bronze clock. ‘“‘Seems to me,” he said, “that I have seen that before.” “You have,” she returned serenely. “You gave it to my first husband and me for a wedding present.
