LANGUAGES THAT HAVE DIED
Archeologists Can Tell Us Little of
Tongues Which for Ages Have
Been Forgotten.
The oldest languages known at the
present time are the Sumerian, Baby-
lonian (or Accadian) and the Egyp-
tian. The earliest known inscriptions
belong to about the fifth millennium
B. C, but it is reasonable to assume
that these were antedated by many
different languages which had a great
antiquity.
The script of the Sumerian, Baby-
Ionian (or Accadian) and Assyrian was
the cuneiform. Chaldean, the language
used generally as the diplomatic lan-
guage about the time of Belshazzer, is
what we now know as the Aramaic
language. Archeology has thrown no
light on the subject of the confusion
of tongues. Abraham very probably
spoke the Aramaic, the language of
Aram. In Canaan his descendants ap-
parently used the language of the land,
which was that of the Ammonites.
This is what we now know as Hebrew.
It would seem that the Israelites re-
tained while in Egypt the language
familiar to them.
Nothing has been discovered which
can be determined as antediluvian.
Babylonian legends mention several
cities as existing before the flood, and
Arabic tradition says Haran was the
first city that was rebuilt after the
deluge, but archeology has offered no
certain data on the subject.
HAD NO USE FOR MAHOGANY
When First Introduced Into England
Workmen Complained of the
Hardness of the Wood.
Like the use of a great many of the
factors connected with the arts and
the sciences, the discovery of the beau-
ty of the grain of mahogany for furni-
ture was accidental, says a London
contemporary. The story goes that a
certain West Indian captain who had
brought back to England some planks
of mahogany as ballast, decided .to
give the wood to his brother, a Doc-
tor Gibbons, then building a house on
King street, Covent Garden. But the
planks were so hard that the carpen-
ters objected, and the plan for using
them fell through.
Some time later Mrs. Gibbons want-
ed a small box made, and the doctor
sent the mahogany to a cabinetmaker.
In his turn the cabinetmaker objected
to the hardness of the wood, but the
doctor persisted so much in his re-
quest that the order was finally exe-
cuted.
The finished box polished so nicely
that the doctor ordered a bureau made
of the same wood. The cabinetmaker
displayed that in his shop window be-
fore delivering it. The duchess of
Buckingham saw it and begged enough
wood from the doctor to have it dupli-
cated, and mahogany furniture soon
after came into favor.—Building Age. '
Interned Soldiers Gain in Health.
The rapid recovery of patients who
are prisoners of war in Switzerland
is due to the good air, excellent nurs-
ing, and abundant nourishing food
furnished them. At a conference of
Swiss health officials held at Olten
it was stated that the general health
conditions of the 12,000 interned Brit-
ish, Belgian, French and German sol-
diers had so improved that it would
be necessary to deal with the question
of finding them some occupation. For
surgical and orthopedic cases a sana-
torium is being fitted up at Lucerne,
where men of each nationality will be
brought for treatment. The only oth-
er exception will be at Leysin, where
800 French and 100 British tubercu-
lous patients are being treated. For
students among the interned, courses
of study are being arranged, and later
they will be permitted to enter Swiss
universities.
New South African Industry.
A new industry for South Africa
is now in prospect. An exhibition
and sale of locally made toys was re-
cently held in Johannesburg and
aroused so much interest that it was
felt there was an excellent oppor-
tunity for manufacturing this class of
goods; it has, therefore, been definite-
ly decided to proceed with the work
under the aegis of the national serv-
ice fund. It is proposed to hold month-
ly toy competitions, and a shop is to
be opened in a central position in
Johannesburg. Toys are already com-
ing forward from all parts of the
Union.
Generosity in Installments.
A certain Scotch singing comedian,
who is notoriously ‘thrifty, played a
week's engagement .to enormous busi-
ness in Chicago last year. Desiring to
show his appreciation of the theater
manager’s kindness to him during the
week, he called that gentleman into
his dressing room on Saturday night.
“I want to thank you, sir,” he said,
“for your courtesy to me this week
and for the fine crowds you've helped
to bring in to hear me. Here's a pho-
tograph of myself for you; and if
business is as good next year when I
come back I'll put my name on it for
you then !”—Saturday Evening Post.
Protection for Children.
Child labor is becoming such a fea-
ture in the work of the nation that
certain evils have arisen and called
forth protests. At the co-operative
congress a resolution was passed, with
only three dissentients, ‘ protesting
against the employment of schoolchil-
dren in agricultural and industrial dis-
tricts, and demanding the raising of
the school age to fourteen for all chil-
dren, with free secondary education. ,
ARKANSAS KINGBIRD
Tyrannus verticalis
Length, nine inches. The white
edge of the feather on each side of the
tail distinguishes this from all other
filycatchers except the gray and sal-
mon-colored scissortail of Texas.
Range: Breeds from Minnesota,
Kansas, and Texas to the Pacific
ocean and from northern Mexico to
southern Canada; winters from Mex-
ico to Guatemala.
Habits and economic status: The
Arkansas kingbird is not so domestic
as its eastern relative and seems to
prefer the hill country with scattered
oaks rather than the orchard or the
vicinity of ranch buildings, but it
sometimes places its rude and con-
spicuous nest in trees on village
streets. The bird’s yearly food is com-
posed of 87 rer cent animal matter
and 13 per cent vegetable. The ani-
mal food is composed almost entirely
of insects. Like the eastern species,
it has been accused of destroying
honeybees to a harmful extent, and re-
mains of honeybees were found to
constitute five per cent of the food of
the individuals examined, but nearly
all those eaten were drones. Bees
and wasps, in general, are the biggest
item of food (38 per cent), grasshop-
pers and crickets stand next (20 per
cent), and beetles, mostly of noxious
species, constitute 14 per cent of the
food. “The vegetable food consists
mostly of fruit, such as the elder and
other berri¢s, with a few seeds. This
bird should be strictly preserved.
Girl Raises Butterflies.
There are very few people in Amer-
ica, probably, aside from scientists,
who do not care to tell their business
to everybody, who attempt to raise and
breed butterfly specimens for the mar-
ket. Few,.for that matter, even know
that there is a market for butterflies.
Yet there are plenty of moths that
sell for a dollar a specimen, and it is
perfectly possible for any intelligent
boy or girl to raise at least a limited
number of “flies” for the market,
When a vine or shrub is attacked by
caterpillars, the thing to da is to catch
the pests, hatch them into specimens
and make them pay for their board.
That it is possible to earn $50 a week
by this means is proved by the ex-
ample of a young California girl, the
subject of an article announced for the
July St. Nicholas, describing how she
has cleared $500 in ten weeks of but-
terfly-farming, and is at present aver-
aging as much as $75 a week. The
girl in question, Miss Ximena McGla-
shan, spends only her summers in the
work, her outfit being the simplest
possible, fruit jars and boxes and bar-
rels covered with gauze to contain the
caterpillars, a net and a few cyanide
bottles for day work, and a miner's
lamp for use at night.
Prefsrs Boys From Needy Families.
A Cleveland manufacturer who had
difficulty in hiring boys for his plant,
because, he said, most boys are look- |
ing for “white-collar jobs,” now solves
his difficulty by “catching ’em poor.”
He explains this by saying that he now
employs only those boys whose fami-
lies are “up against it.” This new crop
of apprentices, he says, haven't any
foolish notions, and he expects to de-
velop most of them into first-class me-
chanics.
English to Learn Russian.
Sir James Roberts of Saltaire, who
has just made a gift of $50,000 to the
‘University of Leeds for the founda-
tion and maintenance of a professor-
ship of Russian language and liter-
ature, is the head of a firm which
first introduced the coarse Russian
wool into English worsted manufac-
ture,

Good News
MANY BELLEFONTE READERS HAVE
HEARD IT AND PROFITTED
THEREBY.
“Good news travels fast,” and the
many bad back sufferers in Bellefonte
are glad to learn where relief may be
found. Many a lame, weak and ach-
ing back is bad no more, thanks to
Doan’s Kidney Pills. Our citizens are
telling the good news of their exper-
ience with this tested remyed. Here is
an example worth reading .
Mrs. John Mignot, E. High St.
Bellefonte, says: “I suffered from a
dull ache across the small of my back
for several weeks. At times, when I
bent cover or lifted anything, a sharp
pain shot over or through my back.
I had heard of Doan’s Kidney Pills
and I knew that they were good, so I
began taking them, procuring my
supply at Parrish’s Drug Store. They
cured me.”

Faux Pas.
In a little country place the beaux
of the town had gone to great trouble
to get up their semiannual hop. Re-
freshments were ordered and the
musicians were on hand, when word
was brought that one of the leading
men of the town had suddenly died.
For a little while consternation ban-
ished sorrow as the young men real-
ized that all their arrangements must
be canceled.
“Well,” remarked one of the num-
ber, “I did think the old colonel was
teo good a sport to die on the eve of a
dance!”

What Is Uric Acid ?
THE CAUSE OF BACKACHE,
RHEUMATISM, GRAVEL
AND SUDDEN DEATH.
Ever since the discovery of uric acid
in the blood by Scheele, in 1775, and
the bad effect it had upon the body,
scientists and physicians have striven
to rid the tissues and the blood of
this poison. Because of its over-
abundance in the system it causes
backache, pains here and there, rheu-
matism, gout, gravel, neuralgia and
sciatica. It was Dr. Pierce who dis-
covered a new agent, called ®Anuric,”
which will throw out and completely
eradicate this uric acid from the sys-
tem. %Anuric” has proved to be 37
times more potent than lithia, and
consequently you need no longer fear
muscular or articular rheumatism or
out, or many other diseases which are
Sependent on an accumulation of uric
acid within the body. Send to Dr.
Pierce, of the Invalids’ Hotel and Sur-
gical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., for a
amphlet on * Anuric,” or send 10 cents
or a trial package of * Anuric Tablets.”
If you feel that tired, worn-out
feeling, backache, neuralgia, or if your
sleep is disturbed by toc frequent
urination, go to your best drug store
and ask for Doctor Pierce’s Anuric
Tablets.
Doctor Pierce’s reputation is back of
this medicine and you know that his
“Golden Medical Discovery” for the
blood and his “Favorite Prescription?”
for the ills of women have had a splen-
did reputation for the past fifty years.
Doctor Pierce’s Pellets are unequaled
as a Liver Pill. One tiny Sugar-coated
Pellet a Dose. Cure Sick Headache,
