PHYSICAL IMPERFECTIONS
By L. A. Miller.
Did you ever notice how many
physical imperfect persons there are?
If not you will be surprised when you
come to investigate the matter. The
first thing you will probably notice
will be the great number of lop-shoul-
ders. It may be safely asserted that
fully one-half the men you meet on
the street either lean to one side or
have one shoulder lower than the oth-
er. Various causes have been assign-
ed for this, but the most generally ac-
cepted theory is that it is due to the
character of the labor performed.
Either lifting heavy weights with the
right hand, handling tools or carrying
big loads will have a tendency to in-
cline the body to that side. This
cause, however, is not sufficient to ac-
count for all the variations from a
strict perpendicular. Some may be
born that way, while others develop
unevenly. The latter applies particu-
larly to the lop-sided individuals who
are not in the habit of exerting them-
selves to any great extent.
There is no doubt that these defects
have bad effects on individuals. They
are disposed to hate themselves, find
fault with their creator and to look
upon their more fortunate felow-crea-
tures with a jealous eye. A predispo-
sition of the same defect of body and
temper is likely to be transmitted to
their posterity. Therefore there is no
telling what it may lead to, or where
it may end. Lord Byron never ceased
complaining against nature for mak-
ing him a cripple. He expressed his
contempt when he wrote:
“I live,
But live to die; and living, see nothing
To make death hateful, save an inate
clinging,
A loathsome and yet all-invincible
Instinct of life, which I abhor, as I
Despise myself, yet cannot overcome,
And so I live—would I had never lived.”
These defects may have adequate
compensation in the higher accom-
plishments of the sufferers, yet these
do not sweeten the cup of life. Har-
riet Martineau, George Eliot and Doc-
tor Johnson never forgave nature for
the liberties taken with their faces.
If a lady happens to have an ill-
shaped foot she is always out of sorts,
usualy growls and grumbles and finds
fault with her Creator. However, la-
dies are not more sensitive about their
feet than men, and they have the ad-
vantage of being able to hide them
more effectually. If a man has an ug-
ly foot he is compelled to show it, and
if he is pigeon-toed he can’t hide it.
If perchance his foot is neat and small
he is particular to give it prominence,
even if he has to stick it up on the
bus seat, dangle it over the side of
the chair or make some remark to
call attention to it when in company.
Detter Care of Wool Practiced
County.
Sheep shearing is under way in Cen-
tre county. The experiences of the
past few years in co-operative mar-
keting of the wool has led most of the
sheep men to exercise great care in
the handling of their clip. They find
that it frequently means a difference
of ten cents a pound in the price re-
ceived.
The sheep must be dry, according to
the best growers, when they are clip-
ped. The fleece should be tied with
the fleece side out, rolling in the wool
from the belly, neck and breech. This
leaves the body or better grading
wool exposed. Most of the wools are
being tied with paper twine. This is
a hard finished twine and does not
leave strands in the wool. Strands
from sisal twine frequently adhere to
the wool and come in the woven fab-
ric. Wool tied with sisal twine is
graded as rejections and brings ten
cents less a pound.
To keep the wool clean and prevent
shrinkage many farmers in the coun-
ty pack their wool into sacks or a big
box. The Farm Bureau office just re-
ceived a supply of this twine to be
used by the wool growers of the coun-
ty. : ‘ :

Scientist Says Frozen
Air Makes Blue Sky
The blue color of the atmosphere {is
caused by a stratum of frozen, crys-
taline nitrogen in extremely high al-
titudes, according to theories recent-
ly put forward by Dr. L. Vegard of
Paris. The aurora borealls and zo-
diacal light are attributed by him te
the same cause.
Doctor Vegard asserts there is some
point in the upper atmosphere where
the temperature must fall as low as
850 degrees below zero Fahrenheit.
If so, nitrogen, the main constituent
of air, must freeze, even as snow Is
formed in an ordinary wintry atmos-
phere. The resulting nitrogen frost
is likely to remain in a dispersed
state. Doctor Vegard also assumes
that It is electrically charged.
Inasmuch as the atmosphere is shal-
lower near the poles than at the
equator, the air-frost would approach
the earth more closely in polar latl-
tudes. More light disturbances would
therefore occur in such regions.
The presence of nitrogen at such
great altitudes as must be necessary
to get temperatures as low as 350 de-
grees below zero is accounted for by
Doctor Vegard by the repellent effect
of the electrical charges which these
particles are assumed by him to carry.
Doctor Vegard suggests that this outer
shell of nitrogen frost-cloud may act
also as an envelope for the atmosphere
and prevent it from diffusing Inte
‘pace.
Scientists Unable to
Agree on Origin of Oil
The question of the origin of pe-
troleum is very complex. In many
cases we have reason to believe that
the petroleum was not formed in the
strata in which we find it. The bulk
of the oil of a field may have been
produced under fairly uniform condi-
tions; but each minor occurrence may
also have passed through its own his-
tory of productior and development
under special local conditions. As re-
gards parent material or materials, we
have only suppositions.
The oils—as distinct from petroleum
—we commonly deal with are all of
organic origin, vegetable or animal, Pe-
troleum may have the same origin,
and of late the view has been gain-
ing ground that the occurrences of pe-
troleum and coal are interrelated. But
the advocates of an animal origin of
petroleum have by no means given in;
the possibility of an inorganic origin
also continues to find support, and the
great variety of petroleum suggests
various parent materials and modes
At present there is
of production,
no agreement, not even on essential
points.—From Engineering.
To Get Rid of a Bore
One of the amusing and original
characters in Paris is M. Sacha Guitry,
who made his fame as actor and play-
wright, and who has increased it by
the oddities of his temperament. He
is a witty, versatile and quick-minded
man and is naturally inclined to be
impatient with bores. Recently there
was one who plagued him with un-
necessary calls, One day he burst in
on Guitry, who greeted him warmly,
though that morning the appearance
of the man put him more “on edge”
than ever.
“Just in time,” said Guitry. “I want
Jou to see a new conjuring trick I have
thought out,” and he grabbed the un-
suspecting visitor's hat and exclaimed,
“Watch!”
Then Guitry poured a jugful or
water into the hat, The owner of it
got up in alarm.
“There now,” exclaimed Guitry petu-
.antly, “you've made me forget my
trick!”
The “trick,” however, Is reported te
have worked admirably. The same
visitor has not troubled M. Guitry
since.—From Sketch.
Defining Poetry
Here. Is Stephane Mallarme’s reply
to a query made by Vogue in 1886 as
to the definition of poetry:
“Poetry is the expression in the lan
guage of mankind, brought back to
its essential rhythm, of the mysterious
meaning of the aspects of existence;
it gives authenticity to our sojourn
on earth and constitutes its sole spir-
itual task.”
Jean Moreas replied to the Inquiry
with twelve interrogation marks, Pas-
teur excused himself, Joseph Caraguel
wrote that “poetry is the art of say-
ing banalities in an eccentric way,”
and an unknown writer called poetry
“the attempt to express the indefin-
able.”—From Le Figaro, Paris.
Taking a Chance
“Want to take a chanst?”’ asked a
producing manager of Yorick Hamm,
the eminent comedian. “I can use you
in a show, but I can’t pay salaries un-
til we see whether the show is a win-
ner.”
“How's a fella gonna live mean
while?”
“That's the chanst I'm offering. In
Act II we eat a meal on the stage.
It’s a bedroom farce with sixteen beds.
That solves your rooming problem. All
you gotta dig up is breakfast, and if
you sleep all day you won't need any.”
—Louisville Courier-Journal.
Couldn’t Use It
“My beau is in the candy business,”
simpered Samuella. “He brings me
oodles of bonbons.”
“Mine is a florist,” chirped Johnette.
“He simply overwhelms me with the
finest posies.” .
Haroldine was silent.
“What line is your young man In
dearie?” asked the others in chormis.
“Tar roofing.”
The Search of the Ages.
“Father,” said George, who had
just come from school, “I am tired of
my arithmetic.”
“What makes
queried the father.
“Every problem I have,” replied the
boy, “says to find the common de-
nominator.”
“Great Scott!” exclaimed the par-
ent, “haven’t they found that thing
yet? They were hunting for it when
I was a boy.”

“George,” queried the teacher,
“what is the difference between elec-
tricity and lightning ?”
“Lightning don’t cost you nothing,”

Oh, My Back!
Aching Backs Make Life Miserable
For Many Bellefonte People.
It isn’t right to suffer day in and
day out with dull, unceasing backache.
Or be utterly miserable with sharp
stabs of pain whenever you stoop or
lift. But chances are you will suffer
these tormenting aches and pains as
long as your weakened kidneys are
neglected. You may have headaches,
too, spells of dizziness and urinary
disorders. Then use Doan’s Pills—a
stimulant diuretic to the kidneys.
Experiences of Bellefonte people
prove the merit of Doan’s.
Mrs. H. W. Johnson, Valentine St.,
says: “I felt so miserable with back-
ache I could hardly stand. Mornings
when I came down stairs I was so
lame I couldn’t raise my feet to go up
the steps again. My kidneys were
disordered and annoyed me. Doan’s
Pills from Runkle’s drug store soon
put an end to my suffering.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Pills—the same that Mrs.
Johnson had. Foster-Milburn Co.,
