Bellefonte, Pa., September 10, 1015. SCOTCH COLLIE IN COURT With Assistance of Child Friends Dog Comes Out of Difficulty With Flying Colors. A Scotch collie dog was acquitted in police court recently of the charge of | being “fierce and vicious,” says a Jack- son, Mich., dispatch to the New York World. The complaint, which was directed against the owner, John De Landers, but meant far more to the dog’s welfare than to John’s, was signed by T. P. Murphy, a street car motorman. Mr. Murphy resides at 310 Bush street and Mr. De Landers | at 307 Bush street. Each of them owns a dog, and re cently the two animals participated in a chewing match on Mr. Murphy's front porch. The latter's little girl | tried to pass them at the time they were “scrapping” and the Scotch collie snarled and snapped at her, perhaps thinking she was bent on stopping the fight. Mr. Murphy testified that while the dog did not bite the child and he could not say the canine had ever bitten any one, still he contended the Scotch col- lie had a disposition to be barking and stirring up a row. “He is a regular fight promoter and a nuisance in the neighborhood,” said the complainant to the judge. « The defendant had brought into court a raft of children who have been in the habit of playing with the dog, | and they declared the dog was all right. Then came the dog’s turn, and he took the stand in his own defense, jumped up into the witness chair, wagged his tail, blinked his eyes and extended his tongue and shook him- to him and asked him if it were true that he was ever naughty. “He never bites, just plays,” re- marked one of the children while pat- ting him on the back. The judge concluded the dog was not vicious or dangerous and returned a verdict of not guilty. SHY AT ALL INNOVATIONS Humanity Slow to Recognize Even the Things of Life That Are the Best. Few good things get a hearty wel- come when they knock at the door. Human nature shies at innovation, and can be persuaded to adopt it only after pioneers have worn the blush of newness off and stood firm until ridi- cule has crawled back into its hole. We hope that the young men who are wearing what the haberdashers call “sport shirts” will prove worthy | pioneers, proof against laughter, strong in the face of irrational preju- dice. For, by their services, mankind may escape the tyranny of the hard boiled collar. The day may come when the morning wrestling with but- tons and buttonholes which hate each other like sin will be like the memory of a boyhood nightmare. That sawmill effect which collars occasionally get and the clammy strangling that goes with humid days will go down in the books as evils conquered. All be- cause a few courageous young men in every community place the good of their fellows above the sensitiveness | of their souls.—Toledo Blade. Even on the Mountain Top. Smith lived in a neighborhood where there were many pianos, phonographs, barky dogs and sweet children, and, finding that sleep was impossible, he began to look around for a quiet re- treat. Finally he found it on the top of a mountain, and great was his hap- piness. One day, however, he appeared in town looking extremely sad, and his friends quickly questioned him as to the cause. : “It’s no use, boys,” he responded in | “It is simply a | waste of time to fight the inevitable.” | a dejected voice. “Yesterday a young man came up on the mountain,” explained Smith, “and pitched a tent near my bunga- low. This morning he told me that he was going to spend the summer there learning to play the violin.”— Philadelphia Telegraph. Pudding Sure Sign of Battle. A British soldier who wears the rib- | / bon of South Africa, was asked while on leave at home recently, whether the soldiers knew for long beforehand when they are going to be called upon to deliver an assault. “Well, they don’t exactly tell us, but we always know,” he replied, ad- ding, rather grimly, “you see, if a number of army chaplains suddenly turn up, we can always guess that something good and hard is going to be asked of us shortly. If they serve us with pudding for dinner before we go into the trenches, why, then we know for certain!” Not Needed. Professor Munsterberg has invented an apparatus which indicates whether a party engaged in conversation is telling the truth. In the case of some people we know the contrivance is not needed to show that they are lying.— New Orleans States. Antiseptic Vaccine. A Great British physician, Sir Alm- roth Wright has invented an antisep- tic vaccine. By inoculation, it is hoped, a soldier before going into bat- tle may be made proof against the in- fection of wounds. . WASHING IS MODERN CUSTOM Only in Comparatively Recent Times Has the idea of Cleanliness Be- come Common. One must not forget that regular ' and systematic cleansing of the person | is a very modern fashion. As late as the early part of the nineteenth cen- { tury toothbrushes were not allowed iin certain French convents, being : looked upon as a luxury. Cleanliness was not very common a | century and a half ago in any coun- | try. In 1770 the publication of Monsieur , Perrel’s “Pogonotomie, ou I'Art d’ap- | prendre a se raser soi-meme,” cre- | | aed a sensation among fashionable people, and enthusiasts studied self- | shaving. The author of Lois de la Galan- ‘terie” in 1640 writes: “Every day one | should take pains to wash one’s hands {and one should also wash one’s face | | almost as often!” The copious streams of hot and cold | water, turned into a porcelain tub at | any time of the day or night, the | brushes and soaps and towels and toi- | let waters and powders of our day, ~ were quite unknown to our not far-off i ancestors. railways. 1 Fighting Quicksand.

The favorite drink of the French army today, as it is in both the Eng- lish and Russian armies, is tea. There are many tea canteens along the front, where men can get hot cups of itea on entering and leaving the | trenches. Every one of these I have | seen has been full, and single canteens | sometimes serve 25,000 cups of tea a j day.—Arno Dosch in World’s Work. Did Away With Madder. Alizarin, a dyestuff, was first syn- | thetically produced in 1869, in which | year the world production of madder | was 110,000,000 pounds of roots, rep- resenting 1,100,000 to 1,650,000 pounds of alizarin, worth $11,250,000. In 1870 France had approximately 50,000 | acres under madder cultivation, which | soon disappeared after the introduc- | tion of the artificial product.

The modern hat can be traced back to the petasurs worn by the ancient Romans when on a journey. and hats with brims were also used by the earlier Greeks.

Froissart de scribes hats and plumes which were worn at Edward's court in 1340, when the Garter order was instituted.
