Bemorralic; Wawa, Bellefonte, Pa., January 19, 1917. HE LET THE BULLET STAY. How Garibaldi’'s Leg Was Saved and His Health Restored. Half a century ago it was the belief of most surgeons that bullets lodged in any part of the body should be probed for and ‘extracted at all hazards.” The modern surgeon, who is able to lo- cate bullets with mathematical accu- racy with the X-ray, often allows the buliet to remain where it has lodged unless there is some very special rea- son for digging it out. And results prove the wisdom of the modern sur- geon's attitude. It is an interesting bit of history that a famous Russian surgeon advocated and practiced the conservative method of letting impacted bullets alone more than fifty years ago and by this method undoubtedly saved the life of the Ital ian patriot Garibaldi. The great sol- dier, wounded in tha right leg and eap- tured at the battle of Aspramonte, was placed under the care of several Euro- pean surgeons, who tried unsuccessful- ly to remove the bullet. At that time the Russian surgeon Pi- rogoff was stopping in Heidelberg, and the Russian students at that university raised the sum of 1,000 francs to in- duce the surgeon to examine Garibaldi. Pirogoff refused the fee, but he visited the patriot, examined his wound and, contrary to the opinions of all the other surgeons, advised letting the bullet alone. He suggested removal to a dry climate with plenty of fresh air and sunshine. The soldier took his advice, moved into a dry climate and recov- ered.—Exchange. NAMES IN JAPAN. The Only Lasting Title a Man Gets Comes When He Dies. The Japanese have many quaint cus- toms handed down from generation to generation. One of the strangest is that of their naming ceremony. When one month old a Japanese child gets its first name with ceremonial. Trumpets are blown, and the child is borne in great state to the family temple, and behind the procession march the house- hold servants carrying the infant's wordrobe. The servant in the rear of the procession bears a huge box, in which is the priest's fee, together with three slips of paper, on which three names are written. On reaching the temple the names are thrown into the air, and the first that touches the ground is the one which the child re- ceives. When three years old the child is again named, accompanied by elaborate religious rites. At the age of fifteen his education is supposed to be fin- ished, and as he then enters manhood (according to Japanese law) he is again named. When he takes to business he re- ceives his “business” name, by which he is known in the commercial world, and upon every upward step in life he receives a new name. If his master happens to have the same name he must at once change it, as it detracts from his superior’s dignity. At his marriage his name is altered again, and his last and only permanent one is that given him after death, which is written on his tomb.—London Answers. The Furtive Look. Here is something worth while for bachelors to consider. A Boston woman says she can detect a bachelor as far as she can see him. She always knows a bachelor by his furtive look. The furtive look, she ex- plains, is something akin to that of a hunted animal, always on the watch for snares and pitfalls. Of course this may apply only to Boston bachelors, but it would be well for all other sin- gle unfortunates to take a good look at themselves in the mirror and find that telltale look. If they do there is an easy way to efface it.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Why a Horse Rolls. Horses are fond of rolling on the ground, and no animal more thorough- ly shakes itself than they do. After a roll they give themselves a shake or two to remove anything adhering to the coat. The habit is of much service to horses living in open plains. On being turned loose at the end of a journey an Arab horse rolls in the sand, which acts as blotting paper, ab- sorbing exudations from the body. A shake removes the sand, and the coat soon dries. Cavalrymen in hot climates sometimes put sand on their horses as the simplest and quickest way of drying them. No Longer a Child. “Is mamma's sweet little boy ready to have his bath now?” “Oh, maw, put the soft pedal on that stuff, will you? When a fellow’s six years old it's time to take him out of the kindergarten class. I'll take my splash when I've had my smoke.”— Pittsburgh Times. Necessary Things. One of our rear admirals is quoted as saying, “The battleship can go to any part of the world if coal is pro- vided.” “This does away with the old sup- position that water was also neces- sary,” interposed a bystander. Silence Is Safety. After forty years o’ married life I've made up me mind it don’t matter how often a man an’ his wife disagrees as long as he don’t let her know it.—Har- per’s Bazar, { BLACK FRIDAYS. First of These Financial Terrors Came In London In 1745. Several of the great financial panics of the past have commenced on a Fri- day, and this has given rise to one of the pet superstitions of the stock ex- changes and bourses of the world— that the sixth day of the week is fraught with ill omen for those en- gaged in financial operations. The original “Black Friday" occurred Dec. 8, 1745, in London. On that date tidings reached the metropolis that the pretender, Bonnie Prince Charlie, had reached Derby with his forces. Lon- doners immediately made preparations to fly from the city, and a panic pre- vailed. It was on that occasion that the Bank of England had its closest call in its long history. The citizens were anxious to take their money with them, and the Bank of England was besieged by an army of depositors. The bank escaped bankruptcy only by the expedient of placing “dummies” in the line to impede genuine depositors and by paying bona fide depositors in small coins, thus consuming much time. The first “Black Friday” of latter day financial history was in 1866 and was due to the failure of one of Lon- don’s largest banking houses. Three years later Wall street had a “Black Friday,” due to an attempt to engineer a corner in gold. The worst of all “Black Fridays” was that of 1873, when on Friday, Sept. 18, it seemed that the whole financial structure of the new world had crumbled into ruins. —Exchange. A FAMILY ORCHESTRA. Has Your Home One, and, if It Has, Does This Just Fit It? When two people conduct an orches.- tra there is plot material. If the two are knit by marriage ties the plot thick- ens. Endicott and I conduct a family orchestra, he at the piano, I playing second violin. I know more about mu- sic than does Endicott; he is more mu- sical than I. I keep the time; he has the temperament. Temperament is more noble than time, but time, I shall always insist, has its place, perhaps nowhere more appropriately than in an orchestra. He at the piano can domi- nate the situation more neatly than I. In my position among the strings, how- ever, 1 can more readily organize a strike. The rest of the pieces are presided over by our children, young people of inflexible spirit and chromatic moods. Sometimes we doubt whether we have our troupe under the rigid control which as parents we might expect to com- mand. The conductivity of an orches- tra, says our son Geoffrey, varies with the distance of the blood relationship between artists and conductor. When the children were little we held the pleasant theory that a family orchestra would draw us all close together, stand- ing always as a symbol of our perfect harmony. That would be all right if the harmony would only go to suit us all equally at the same time. As it is our little band, in which observers find so touching a picture of hearthside uni- ty, suggests sometimes all the elements of guerrilla warfare.—Atlantic Monthly. A Statue That Never Was Built. Mount Athos, in Turkey, was the spot contemplated by a sculptor for the most imposing monument that man had ever had. The sculptor Dinocrates offered to cut the huge mountain mass into the form of a statue of Alexander which should hold a city in the left hand and in the right a basin to re celve all the waters that flowed from the mountain. Alexander was much taken by the plan, but rejected it for the practical reason that there was not food enough in the district to feed the inhabitants of the proposed town. So the canal cut by Xerxes to enable the ships to es cape sailing round the mountain re mained the greatest enterprise ever achieved there. Equity and Economy. Two men, strangers to each other, were seated together on the outside of a tramecar, and both filled their pipes simultaneously. One, however, struck his match first, and the other request- ed that he might share the light. Hav- ing done so, he took from his pocket a box of matches and handed one to his obliging neighbor. “It is foolish,” he said, “to strike two when one will do, but I can’t very well expect you to provide that one when I have some also. Let me pay!” A mind of nice balance in equity as well as economy !— London Chronicle. Vain Quests.

Caught Both Ways. Mrs. Exe—My servant girl has left me. She said I had so much company there was too much work to do. Mrs. Wye—That's singular. Mine has left me too.

MINSTREL WON WAR MEDALS “Guslar,” by His Playing, Inspired His Serbian Comrades to Brave Deeds. Six times wounded in the world war, Peter Perunovic, a Montenegrin, was given permission to leave the army un- til he had completely recuperated from his wounds. He felt the need of a long rest and decided to take it in an extensive trip. The trip brought him to Pittsburgh, and he is still in the city, occasionally to be found in the headquarters of the Serbian Orthodox society, the Pittsburgh Post remarks. Perunovic has in his possession two medals, the medal of St. Sava and the medal of Milos Obillis. They are gen- erally given to Serb soldiers for valor in the field. Perunovic did not win his reward wielding the sword. His in- strument is of a different nature. In Serbia it is known as the “gusle.” Ages ago the wandering minstrel, who sang stirring war songs as he played on his instrument, was a figure common to all lands. He has disap- peared from western civilization, but Serbia, influenced by the East, with its romance, has preserved him. His “gusle” is similar in appearance to the guitar, stringed, but played with a bow, made usually of the twig of a tree in the rough, as if broken off. Its player is known as the “guslar.” Perunovic, according to Pittsburgh Serbs who are acquainted with his ca- reer, is known to every soldier in the Serbian army. For, so the story goes, he has often been transferred from one regiment to another, exposed to greater danger, that the music from his instrument might inspire his com- rades to brave deeds. MACHINE TOOLS IN JAPAN Only Comparatively Recently Has That Country Undertaken to Produce Its Own Supply. Japan has taken up the manufacture of machine tools seriously only within the last ten years or so, and, according to “Alfred Herbert’s Monthly Review,” little progress was made until about four years ago, when the government decided that it was time to encourage domestic manufacturers, with the ob- ject of checking the flow of specie abroad and of rendering the markets less dependent on foreign supplies. The war has had a great effect on the de- velopment of the industry, and as an example of what has been done large works, containing roughly 1,000 engine lathes, 300 capstan lathes and 150 drill- ing machines, were recently completed within three months of the first or- ders being given out, over 90 per cent of the machines being made in Japan. In regard to methods of manufacture, jigs and fixtures are not used to any great extent, and as most of the works will accept any order that comes their way within their capacity there is lit- tle opportunity for specialization.
