Bonin Bellefonte, Pa., January 12, 1917. FEROCITY ON THE STAGE. Salvini as Othello Was a Terror to His Desdemona. So abandoned was Salvini at times that it was difficult to believe that the force was at all governable. Though there would have been time just be- fore the fifth act to run over my im- portant scene with him, it was not done. In this act Desdemona’s bed was placed in what seemed from in front to be an alcove, but the alcove was not boxed in, and I could stand right up against the bed. Before the act began Miss Brooklyn, who played Desdemona with sweetness and appealing grace, impiored Salvini to be gentle. “Now, Mr. Salvini,” she begged, “do be careful, won't you?” He playfully promised. When, after she was asleep, he drew the curtains of the bed aside and gazed down upon her I stood within five feet of him. The scene that ensued was at such close range very poignant. I did not wonder that she had implored him to be gentle. As he was choking her with the pillows she kept gasping in broken whispers of real terror between her heard outcries :mel inoans: “Oh, Mr. Salvini! Please, please, Mr. Salvini!” Sickened and fascinated, 1 watched him, and I did net make connection with the real world again until Emilia —that vigorous and intelligent actress, Mrs. Bowers—made her round off scene at the back of the stage, calling, «Murder, murder!” Then I rushed headlong to Tago, for I knew that I must shortly go on. Of what happened that first night 1 have no clear picture. I was dazed by the sudden transition from the dark- ness where I had stood and seen Des- demona strangled a few feet away to the torches of the stage and a world which in comparison to the one I had just left was palpable acting. Docile- ly I hurried after Iago and took my ap- pointed place. But I should not have been in it when the time came had not terror rooted me rather than given me legs, for the ferocity with which Othello ran at Iago and the rage that distorted his features were unexam- pled. It was one thing to have seen it directed elsewhere and another to find it plunging your way.—“A Super ‘With Salvini,”” by Algernon Tassin, in Scribner's. CULTIVATE JUDGMENT. Without It Intellect and Knowledge Accomplish Little. Intelligence, Knowledge and Judg- ment were strolling along one day when they came to a young baby sleep- ing by the roadside. “Here's a chance to do some good,” said Intelligence. “That youngster ap- pears to be a splendid specimen of hu- manity. Suppose we serve him during his lifetime.” “All of us?” asked Judgment. “Why not?’ said Knowledge. “By combining we shall be able to produce a very superior person. I second the motion.” Some moments later when the baby rubbed his eyes upon a new world he found himself equipped with Intelli- gence, Knowledge and Judgment. Many years later the three were again out for a stroll. “By the way,” said Knowledge as they came to a spot at the roadside, “do you remember that long ago we three agreed to serve a certain young- ster?” “Perfectly,” said Intelligence. ‘The curious thing about it all is that, al- though he is a perfectly good human being and respected by all, he has nev- er amounted to much—has never ac- quired that supreme distinction which he should have received with us three backing him up.” Judgment was silent. turned to him. . “How do you account for it?” they asked. “T account for it quite simply,” said Judgment. “I agreed temporarily to go in with you and serve him because there was a majority against me. But it didn’t seem to me fair that he should have so much, so I after a little quietly withdrew and left him to be served by only you two.”—Life, They both Palisades of the Hudson. The Palisades are slowly changing. To the traveler of a hundred years ago they were a sheer cliff of clean rock rising in a perpendicular line from the water's edge nearly a thousand feet. Now they are buttressed at the foot by immense deposits of broken rock which frosts have peeled from the cliff. Gradually this buttress is growing higher. The upward growth of this support- ing pile is due to the trees—evergreens of various kinds—which have grown seemingly right out of the rocks.—New York Sun. Optimistic Gadsby. “Gadsby has always wanted to live in a cottage by the sea. That’s the dream of his life.” “And I presume fate has doomed him to end his days in a flat?” “Yes. But Gadsby is an optimistic fellow. He still clings to the marine glasses he bought years ago.”—Birming- ham Age-Herald. A Growing Thing. “Mrs. Smith has telephoned six times now about that leak,” offered the office boy. “Give it a chance, son,” said the plumber. “In a couple of days that leak’ll be worth twice as much.”— ‘Richmond Times-Dispatch. se —————— —————— sa ER FIRST STRIKE IN AMERICA ne ——— i | New York Bakers Convicted of Con. spiracy When They Asked for a Raise in Wages. Thirty-five years before the dec- | laration of independence was written, when New York was a town of less than 9,000 inhabitants, the first labor strike took place. It occurred in New York city and the strikers were journeymen bakers who agreed not to bake until their wages were raised. And the result of the first walkout, the new Encyclope- dia Britannica says, was that the strik- ers were convicted of conspiracy. For the size of the city that effort to get better wages probably caused almost as much excitement as the street car strike which New York, now more than three hundred times as big as it was in 1740, has just experienced for so many weeks. How different the setting of that first strike—no newsboys crying “ex- tras” every hour, no telephones and telegraphs to keep the country in- formed on the progress of events, no fast trains to bring in other workmen to fill the places of the strikers. It was in fact a strictly local affair of little general significance, except that it was the beginning of the long war between labor and capital in this country. After the first revolt of the bakers of New York, other strikes were those of journeymen shoemakers in Phila- delphia in 1796 and again in 1798. Both were successful in obtaining an increase of wages. In 1799 the shoe- makers of Philadelphia struck against a reduction of wages, but although the strike lasted ten weeks the men were only partly successful. Conditions of industry during those early colonial days were naturally not conducive to strikes, for factories were small and few, and masters and men generally worked together. WILL HAVE IDEAL KITCHEN Hotel Soon to Be Erected in New York With Absolutely Clean Cook- ing Apartment. Sanitary precautions, the equal of which perhaps have never been taken by any other hotel, are to be observed in equipping and operating the kitchen of a very large hotel to be erected in New York city. No food of any sort will remain uncovered in the kitchen, unless being cooked in an open dish, and yet all food will be in full view behind or under conveniently pivoted glass covers. All raw materials will be conveyed from one receptacle to another by machinery. The bulk of the work, which helpers and cooks have formerly done by hand, will be done by machines, such as paring fruits and vegetables, making bread, cutting butter patties, mixing salads, etc. All employees will be trained to be as scrupulously clean as attendants in a hospital operating room. Each one will be required to take a bath every morning at the hotel and to pass a daily examination by a health in- spector. — Popular Mechanics Maga- zine. Good Results From “Safety First.” In the sphere of accidents the “safe- ty first” campaign has achieved most encouraging results. The deaths from railway accidents in the registration area were 6,652 in 1915, which is the lowest on record for the last decade, while similar decreases are shown for street car fatalities and deaths due to mine and machinery accidents. Auto- mobile accidents caused 3,987 deaths in 1915. Fatalities from this source have increased in rate from year to vear, but the increase has not been so rapid as that in the number of ma- chines in use. Despite the efforts fre- quently made to connect suicides with abnormalities in social conditions, the rate of death from that cause has shown scarcely any variation during the past ten years. The total number of suicides reported in 1915 was 11,- 216, or 16.7 per 100,000 population. Even Toothpicks. Annis Burk tells a new one on the high cost of living. ‘Prices of food- stuffs are going up so fast,” he said, “that it is difficult here at the Clay- pool to keep track of the dividing line between profit and loss. The price of some articles on our cafe menu may be fixed one week to yield a fair profit, but the next week the same articles may be served at a price below cost. “Here,” said Annis, “is a notice from dealers that even the price of tooth- picks has advanced. Higher prices for wood and higher prices for the wood spiinters you pick the food out of your teeth with! come of us.”—Indianapolis News. “Natural Bread.” A new method of making bread has been adopted in Italy. It is found that 660 pounds of grain produce 880 pounds of what is termed “natural bread.” In the process the grain is sifted and washed. It is then left fpr from 48 to 60 hours in a warm bath, where it germinates and begins to sprout. When the germinating process has gone far enough the grain is crushed in a ma- chine and made into dough, which is passed into the oven. Carries His Own Stove. “You will have to cut out smoking on this car,” a Kansas City (Mo.) street car conductor told a passenger the other morning. Whereupon the passenger uncovered between his feet a small oil stove. The light had been ‘turned up too high and the stove was smoking. “This car is too cold for a long ride,” said the passenger. He was allowed to keep his stove. Don’t know what's to be- + STATISTICS OF WAR BABIES Contrary to General Belief, More Gir! Than Boys Are Being Introduced Into the World. “There is a widespread belief,” says the Lancet, “that the proportion of male births tends to rise under the conditions produced by warfare . We have seen a recent published state- ment to the effect that in France this year the number of males at birth greatly exceeds the number of fe- males, and that in a Paris maternity hospital an overwhelming proportion of boys is being born. We do not know the authority for such statements, but the figures in our possession do not confirm them. “At the Maternite Departementale in Chalons-sur-Marne, for which the matron in charge, Miss E. M. Pye, has furnished us the figures up to the end of May.last, 122 boys and 140 girls have been born to women of the dis- tressed area of the Marne, where, if anywhere in France, the conditions are those of want and of strain.” Statistics just issued by the Indian government and cited by the Lancet to show how fundamentally different the health conditions of India are from those of other countries reveal the fact that there is a marked excess of male births over the females. In Eu- ropean countries the reverse is the case. In the Northwest Frontier province 126 boys are born to every 100 girls, and the lowest rate is 101 boys to 100 girls, in Coorg. Like Europe, the death rate of India is Deing reduced, but, unlike Europe, the birth rate is increasing. From 1886 to 1890 the birth rate was 35 per 1,000. In 1913 it had risen to 39. USEFUL BIRD IS NIGHTHAWK Performs Wonderful Work in Destroy- ing Insects That Are Worst Enemies of Farmer. Every evening in the summer days there soars about, high above the earth and with widespread wings, the familiar nighthawk. It attracts the at- tention of many to whom its name is not known. It is often mistaken for the whippoorwill, although its plain- tive cry is far different from the whip- poorwill's call, its habits are not so nocturnal, and it is a city bird, where- as the whippoorwill does not leave the country. Its name is a misncmer, since it is not properly a hawk. It is one of the most useful of birds, since it feeds on insects and is so swift of wing that not even the fleet dragonfly can escape it. Its capacity for feeding is apparently limited only by the quan- tity of insects it can capture. “Some stomachs opened contained from thirty to fifty different kinds of insects, and more than six hundred kinds have been identified in the stomachs thus far ex- amined. From five hundred to a thou- sand ants are often found in a stom ach,” says a government report of the nighthawk. i Unfortunately, nighthawks, when flying low, are made the targets for thoughtless persons, and their number is diminishing. This is regrettable, since the nighthawk is not only valu- able as a destroyer of pests, but is one of the most graceful of all birds as it soars and dips and flies erratically through the air.—Youngstown Tele- gram, ' The Largest Islands. Australia has long been classed as the least of the continents and not as an island. The largest islands are grad- ed downward in the order of their size, as follows: Greenland, 850,000 square miles; New Guinea, 312,000; Borneo, 280,000; Madagascar, 230,000. In the absence of exact surveys these areas are rough estimates and must be con- sidered only as approximations, but it is not likely that careful measurements will introduce corrections so large as to change the order of the four, Australia is but slightly smalier than the conti- nental United States excluding Alaska. —Exchange.

The aches and pains of a bad back Are frequently due to weak kidneys. Doan’s Kidney Pills are recommended for weak kidneys. So Bellefonte citizens testify. Mrs. S. S. Leitzell, 118 E. Beaver St, Bellefonte, says: *“I was troubled by backache in a severe form and I was nervous and run down. Dizzy spells were common. The kidney secretions caused me annoyance. Doan’s Kidney Pills fixed me up right good. Whenever I feel a return of the trouble, I at once get a box at Parrish’s Drug Store, and they prevent the attack from becoming serious. Doan’s Kidney Pills are worthy of praise.” Price 50c. at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Leitzell had.

Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Severe Rheumatic Pains Disappear Rheumatism depends upon an acid which flows in the blood, affecting the muscles and joints, producing inflamma- tion, stiffness and pain. This acid gets in- to the blood through some defect in the digestive processes, and remains there be- cause the liver, kidneys and skin are too torpid to carry it off. Hood's Sarsaparilla, the old-time blood tonic, is very successful in the treatment of rheumatism. It acts directly, with purifying effect, on the blood, and through the blood on the liver, kidneys and skin, which it stimulates, and at the same time it improves the digestion.
