The name April comes from Aper- ire, which means to open—and if you will get out of doors during April you will see the buds opening. It used to be called the grass month, also, and it might just as well be called that now, for it is certainly a grassy month. There is grass all summer, of course, and it grows in other months than April, but it is this month that we notice the grass much more than at other times. April is the first month of the year where the grass every- where in the fields and along the roads ond streams becomes green and splen- id. Each month in the year seemes to be the most beautiful when it comes. That is, there is such beauty in the world all the time that a fellow can sit down any time and say, “This is the prettiest month of the year,” and get away with it, as the boys say. CASTORIA Bears the signature of Chas. H.Fletcher. In use for over thirty years, and The Kind You Have Always Bought. care of a specialist in Philadelphia | PLEASANT GAP.

All report having a wonder- ful time. Mrs. John Herman very wisely or- dered a good supply of choice fruit trees, and is transforming each of her vacant lots into orchards. She says if the trees don’t produce in her time, they will come in all right for the coming generation. Mrs. Mary Houser sold her home adjacent to the William Ross farm, to Mr. Ross, recently. Consideration $1,000. Mr. Ross very kindly allows Mrs. Houser to remain on the premis- es for six months, or until she can se- cure a place of residence. Billy’s hos- pitality knows no bounds. When the time sets in the average society woman becomes excited and fidgety about going to the sea shore. She may not know what she wants to go for, but she wants to go, and that is enough for a woman to know. As a rule, women are not philosophical; but there must be an exception made in favor of sea-shore philosophy. It isn’t the cold, hard-lived philosophy of the scientist, nor the radiant, high- colored philosophy of the crank, but plain natural philosophy, such as can be found pure in children and women. They want to do a thing because they want to and ought to, and what they ought to do is a duty, and duty is right; therefore, if they want to go it is their duty to go, and it is not right to hinder them. The benefits arising from a visit to the sea depends very largely upon what you go for, or whether you have any business there. The mere fact that you are tired of staying at home is not a sufficient rea- son for going; neither is the fact that your neighbor has gone a valid excuse for you to shut up your house and pack off for a month’s broiling and steaming. Sick people should not go to the sea-shore except on the advice of competent physicians. CENTRE HALL. Left over from last week. Mrs. William Boozer went to Ty- rone on Tuesday to assist Roy Puff’s in moving. Miss Verna Frantz was married on Saturday evening. Her husband is a young man named Noll.

Last Saturday evening, Muth, the younger of the E. E. Bailey boys, had the misfortune to trip and fall hard enough to break his arm. He was hurried to the office of Dr. H. W. Longwell, who reduced the fracture. JACKSONVILLE. Mrs. Albert Mackey, who has been ill the past week, is able to be around again, Thelma, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leon Monteith, is spending some time with her grandmother in Williamsport. Services will be held in the Reform- ed church on Sunday evening at sev- en o'clock. Sunday school at 9:30 a. m. Everybody is invited to attend. Many of our people attended the re- ceptions held in the Howard High school building last Thursday and Fri- day evenings. All who were in at- tendance report a fine time.

He sustained several cuts and bruises and was housed up several days as the result of his injuries.

WANT PICTURES OF BEAUTIES | But Natives of Out-of-the-Wey Plasm Have Their Own Idea of What Is Beautiful. Meyer Krupp of Seattle, veteren trader of furs, who for 25 yeurs has penetrated the out-of-the-way places in the Orient, says that even in is lands that are uncharted and virtu-!- ly unknown the beauty of Americen women is known. For, when trading sable skins, the natives demand in re turn pictures of pretty women. Mr. Krupp takes on each trip hundreds of photographs of women. He selects the pictures at random. One can never tell what the natives’ demands will be for women’s photo- graphs, says Mr. Krupp, according 2 the Seattle Times. Blonds as a rule are much desired. One well-known n.o- tion-picture star, whose salary is re puted to be equal to that of the Pres- ident, members of his cabinet and the director of the mint combined, would no doubt be shocked if she knew the lack of appreciation evidenced among the natives of her much-heralded beauty. The trader couldn't barter away one dozen of her photographs for the skin of an ordinary squirrel trapped out of season, while on the other hand an obscure member of & film company’s extra crowd, a woman who has never once figured in a “fade: out,” is all the rage among fur hunt ers. The traders and hunters talk over her picture in terms of sable skins. ELECTRICITY IN HUMAN BODY Alleged That Some People Can Pro. duce Sparks That Will Light the Gas. Almost everyone is familiar with what is known as static electricity. One rubs the cat’s fur the wrong way, and gets a little shock. The cat, how- ever, must be a dry cat. Or one walks across a carpeted floor on a dry win- ter’s day and then touches a radiator or some other metal object; whereup- on there is a perceptible discharge from the body. It is said that some folks can light the gas in that way. Anyhow, while sparks produced in this manner are ordinarily harmless, they are under some circumstances a source of serious danger. They cause a great many accidents in gasoline distilleries, explosive factories, flour mills, dry-cleaning establishments, cot- ton-ging and threshing machines. The National Association of Dyers and Cleaners of the United States is now undertaking an active campaign to eliminate fires from this source. Inasmuch as appreciable charges of static electricity can be produced only when the surrounding air is very dry, the most effective prevention is to dampen the atmosphere of factory rooms by injecting steam. Wealth in Maine Fur Trade. “As for the fur trade in Maine, care ful estimates place a money value of a million on this business. To be sure, this is through the figures report- ed by the state game department. But the official totals do not give the catch on thousands of farms where the boys do their own shooting and trapping; nor do they include many thousand dollars’ worth of furs shipped directly out of the state with- out check on them, says the Lewiston Journal. Many a farm is worth far more for the furs it bears than for the garden stuff it raises. The state is rich in skunks, for instance, which is one of the most valuable “crops” we have. Muskrats, though not so plentiful, when dyed form the fash- fonable “Hudson seal.” Minks and rac- coons and weasels and foxes, with other game, constitute the bulk of this wealth. History Continuous, There are, of ccurse, no beginnings or ends in history. We may walk for a few miles by the side of a river, noting its shallows and its rapids, the | gorges which confine it and the plains ! through which it meanders; but we know that we have seen neither the be: sinning nor the end of its course, that the whole river has an unbroken con: tinuity, and that sections, whether of space or time, are purely arbitrary. We are always sowing our future; we are always reaping our past.—Dean W. R. Inge, in “Outspoken Essays.” Censure for Land Abuse. In Sweden a farmer can be repri- manded by the governor of a province for abusing “mother earth.” More than 1,100 cases of abusing farm land have been dealt with. Corrective measures are considered necessary where land is found overgrown with weeds, where a field yielded notably less than the neighboring fields, wherc the annual production decreased, «: where grain had been disposed of un. threshed.

Late arrivals at the ticket windows of railway stations in Baden hereafter will ask the clerks at the windows in vain the price of the tickets they buy, writes a Berlin correspondent of the New York Herald. Instead, they will retire to the other side of the room, where a large and complicated table of rates Is posted. There, with pencil spd paper, they will multiply the rate they finally pick out from the mass of figures by the number of kilometers appearing upon the ticket they have been given and pay accordingly at the window. ‘The railway officials announce that when the price of a ticket is printed it becomes obsolete within a few days and passengers complain that they are being overcharged and hold up traffic. On the other hand, they add, the em- ployees at the ticket windows cannot be expected to keep up to date with the prices of tickets to every place along the line, so it is up to the pas- sengers to do the figuring for them- selves. Explaining the “Planetesmal” Theory The visiting star left behind a sun surrounded by a vast revolving cloud of matter that had been torn out of it. In this cloud were millions of small lumps of matter—called “planetes- mals,” or baby planets. One of them, a little larger than the others, be- came the nucleus of our earth. It picked up the smaller lumps that hap- pened to be revolving about the sun in the same general path, Think of a molasses-coated baseball flying through an endless swarm of gnats. In the course of time—millions on millions of years—the earth picked up nearly all the baby planets within its reach.—Popular Science Monthly. Left Her Wondering. I was cleaning house, and was wear- ing an old dress. I went out the back door to shake the last rug and no- ticed a nicely dressed gentleman com- ing up the drive. As it is quite a dis- tance from the road to our house, I decided I could tidy myself up a lit- tle before he arrived. So I changed my dress, brushed my hair and waited for the doorbell to ring. But I waited | in vain. When I looked out of the window he had entirely disappeared. I wonder if he had been frightened away —Exchange. Heat From Oil and Coal. It is generally recognized that under normal conditions 125 gallons of oil will produce about the same amount of utlizable heat as a ton of coal. With gas oil at the present price of eight cents a gallon, the relative ex- penditures would be $12 for oil and $14 for coal. nc Ahk There You Have It. “Do vou know the difference be- tween an artist and an architect?” asked Billy's father. = “Yes,” said the boy; “an artist draws something that is, and an archi- tect draws something that isn’t.” Playing Safe. “They kept bothering me for a recipe,” yawned the prominent movie actress, “so I finally gave them ore for fresh huckleberry pie.” “Why fresh huckleberry pie?” “Nobody will be able to try it for some months.”—Film Fun.
