It’s a moral certainty for young , men and women to marry; in fact, it is obligatory, if the race is to be sus- , tained. It is said that “man’s love is , of man’s life a thing apart; tis wom- 'an’s whole existence;” which is un- doubtedly true. Men have their professions, their business and financial cares; their po- litical projects and ambitions, and other things in which the wife has no share. Women remain at home more in that sacred, if restricted, sphere where men come for comfort, retire- ment and a taste of those joys the do- mestic hearth alone can furnish. There is peace and contentment at the home where the wife and children spring to welcome the father upon his return from the office, the business house or the factory; and the man, in turn, leaving the strife of the push- ing world behind him when he closes the street door of his home, is thank- ful for that haven of rest. The nation possessing the greatest number of homes is positively the most enduring. Home life is elevat- ing and strengthening, and when young men and women marry and found a home of their own they are participants in the work of perpetu- ating a people and assume responsi- bilities the gravity of which they do not realize for some time afterward. A wife leaves home, parents, friends, and all connected with her previous existence to follow her hus- band, who, on his part, must consid- er her above all things else and make : her the chiefest object of his care, so- !licitude and attention. Before enter- ing the married state, therefore, young men and young women should ; indulge in reflection; and not rush in- ' to matrimony unthinkingly. Parents should be alert in the mat- ter of admitting young men to their homes; and it is due to their daugh- ters that those who call upon them should be of unquestionable character. Parents are often careless as to their daughters’ associates, and if the re- sult should be otherwise than gratify- ing are inclined to place the blame up- on the shoulders of their children in- stead of their own. Most men can make money, but few can save it, and here is where the wife comes to the rescue. Men are made and unmade by their wives, but the influence of the latter, in the main is of the highest good. More men have found their way to success by reason of having the right sort of wives than have suffered because of having been unfortunate in the selection of a “bet- ter-half,” and while men may not know it, they are indebted in a great- er degree than they can ever repay, to the women who cheerfully and un- complainingly bear, not only their own burdens, but many of those of their husband as well. A girl who has been taught to economize and take care of her father’s house can be means of her husband. — Siam’s King Visits Temples. Each year when the rainy season is over, the King of Siam spends about two weeks: making his customary round of visits to the different Budd- hist temples of Bangkok. On these occasions the King goes in a boat, manned by 60 rowers on each side, each clad in a uniform of red, and us- ing a long oar. The royal seat is near the stern, raised on four pillars, and surmounted by a_ highly ornate, tow- er-like canopy. In front and behind the royal seat stand attendants hold- ing up large umbrellas, which look like golden cones. On landing at an appointed place, the King rides in a sedan chair to the temple, when all along the way the people prostrate themselves on the ground keeping silent as a mark of supreme respect. For about half an hour the King occupies himself with the: ceremony of worship in the temple, into which the public is not admitted. To the temple outside Bangkok the King dispatches deputies, his person- al pilgrimage being confined to the temples of the city. —For all the news you should read the “Watchman.” Old Papers in Hongkong. A considerable trade is done in Hongkong in the sale of old newspa- pers, which are used by the Chinese for wrapping purposes, says Consul LeRoy Webber, in a report to the De- partment of Commerce. The imports vary from 4000 to 7000 tons per an- num, the United States supplying on an average 98 per cent, of this amount and the remainder coming chiefly from the Philippines and Canada. The greater portion of the imports is sold to the nearby markets of South Chi- na, Indo-China and Siam. Imports are generally made in bales of 200 to 560 pounds, bound with iron hoops and entirely free from maga- zines or catalogues. Quotations are generally given c. i. f. Hongkong, al- though some firms buy f. 0. b. Pay- ment is usually made on the basis of cash against documents or upon arri- val of the goods. The retail price de- pends on the market price in the United States, Hongkong prices being generally about 10 per cent. above the former. The current price is $95 gold per long ton. ———Subscribe for the “Watchman.” His Gloom Shared. Mr. Millerton, who is a great deal of a hypochondriac and enjoys look- ing forward “to the end,” was in an especially depressed mood one even- ing when he gave some thought to the question of a second marriage for his wife. “Harriet, my dear,” he said gloomi- ly, “when 1 am gone from this vale of tears, you must marry again. It is my dearest wish.” “William,” observed his wife, with a faint smile, “no one will marry an old woman like me. You ought to have died fifteen years ago for that.” | —Everybody’s Magazine. 1 —Get your job work done here. depended upon not to waste the! | Three Famous Surgeons Leave Vien- na for United States. Three Vienna professors left last week for America, where they will lecture and perform operations. © dean of Vienna surgeons, Prof. Adolph Lorenz, world fagious orthopedist, will go first to Buffalo and then to New York, at the invitation of the New York Health Department. He | will be a consultant in important op- erations. Professor Pirquet, of the Children’s Clinic, famous for his organization of the American Relief committee’s feed- ing system, will go to Minneapolis, where, as founder of the most modern children’s clinic in Vienna, he will as- sist in the foundation of a similar clinic. : On a like mission Dr. Bela Schick, first assistant in Dr. Pirquet’s clinic, will go to New York to advise in opening a children’s cilnic in connec- tion with one of New York’s largest hospitals. Bakers Drop Lotus Leaves. Shanghai bakers used to wrap their bread and cakes in nice green lotus leaves. But the days of this roman- tic practice are gone forever. Ac- cording to the new regulations cover- ing bakery products, bread and other products must be suitably wrapped in grease-proof or similar papers. e . clause in the regulation covering this particular requirement quoted by As- sistant Trade Commissioner A. V. Smith in a report to the Department of Commerce, reads as follows: “That bread and bakery products shall, upon sale or when carried or handled for sale, or delivered in bas- kets, vehicles or otherwise, be suita- bly wrapped in grease-proof paper or other cleanly covering, in such man- ner as to completely protect the bread from dirt, dust and flies, or from harmful contact in handling.” Stung Once. A convict at San Quentin who wanted more than the regular fare, once made a complaint in rather in- genius terms. An inspector entered this man’s cell and found it very hot and stuffy. “Why have you your ventilator closed ?” he asked. The prisoner answered bplacidly: “Well, inspector, the last time I had the ventilator open a wasp flew in, you see, and carried off my dinner while my back was turned, so now I'm not taking any chances.”—St. Louis Star. MEDICAL. A Useful Pain ‘Bellefonte People Should Heed Its Warning. Have you a sharp pain or a dull ache across the small of your back? Do you realize that it’s often a time- ly sign of kidney weakness? Prompt treatment is a safeguard against more serious kidney troubles. Use Doan’s Kidney Pills. Profit by a Bellefonte resident’s experience. Mrs. Mary Lose, 212 E. Bishop St., says: “A few years ago my kidneys became affected and I suffered awful- 'ly. I was hardly ever free from dis- tressing backaches. I was so misera- We I could scarcely keep going to do my housework. I also had spells ef i dizziness and frequent headaches. My kidneys acted irregularly. Boan’s Kidney Pills purchased at the Mott Drug Co., were not long in bringing relief. I have depended on Doan’s ever since when I have had an attack and I know they are reliable.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Lose had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N.
