Elephant Most Brainy of the Lower Animals The elephant is probably the shrewd- est and most adaptable of living ani- mals and has no enemies except man. He eats anything that is green, and seems equally at home on the plains or in the forests and jungles, on the high mountain slopes or down in the swampy lowlands. His trunk is one of the most extraordinary organs of nature. It contains the finest smells ing apparatus on earth, and when the proximity of man is suspected the trunk is raised in the air and care- fully turned in all directions, “feel- ing” for the man-smell in the wind. Once an elephant gets that smell he does one of two things. He either re- treats quietly and rapidly or charges. Years of experience in matching his wiles with those of man and his high- powered rifle has taught the elephant that it is safer to remain in the dense forests. An elephant can move through these forests with no more noise than would be made by a mouse, and the growth in these forests is frequently so impenetrable the hunter can make progress only by following the wind- ing elephant trail. Look for Treasure Hidden by Alexander When Alexander the Great was marching against the Persians in 831 B. C. a part of his army mutinied on the shores of the Caspian sea. There is a legend that he hid all his gold, royal possessions and spoils of war somewhere In the vicinity to keep them from falling into the hands of the mutineers. The Archeological so- ciety of the Republic of Azerbaijan has begun a search for this treasure. It is believed to be buried about sixty- five miles from the city of Baku. There are no historical data on the subject as to the location of the treasure, but an old man eighty years old living at Andrievka says he owns an ancient map which was stolen from a Turkish sultan many years ago. This map, he says, indicates that the treasure was buried near his village. Whether or not the archeologists locate the treas- ure, it is believed that they will at least excavate many valuable relics throwing light on the peoples and na- tions which inhabited the country be- fore the time of Christ.—Pathfinder Magazine, When Brides Were: Bought Wedding gifts apparently have de- veloped from the earlier custom of ex- change of gifts between bride and bridegroom, in turn based upon mar- riage by consideration, where the suitor had to give to the father of his in- tended wife a bride price or present and the daughter was provided with a dowry as a return gift. The price for a bride shows consid- erable variation, according to the wealth of the interested parties and the accomplishments of the bride. Among certain tribes a couple of pigs { or goats seemed to be sufficient cap- {tal necessary for investment in ome good husky helpmate. Among the Bedouins of Mount Sinal Westermarch tells us the price of a girl is “from $5 to $20,” but sometimes amounts to $30 “if the girl is well connected and very handsome.” Cheap for $1,200 A western young man visiting New (ork city thought it would be fine to )uy his sweetheart’s engagement ring there. Entering a Fifth avenue store 3e was waved from one lordly clerk io another down a long aisle and at ast reached the counter where there was a personage who sold engagement rings. “Here are some rather neat rings,” said the distinguished one. “Small, of course, but in good taste.” Our young friend liked their looks, but was pained to learn they ran from $3,500 to $5,000 apiece. He ad- ‘mitted, in some confusion, that he wished something a little cheaper. Then the mighty one reached into a pin and brought up a handful of spark- lers. “Take your pick,” said he, polite- ly repressing a yawn, “$1,200 each.” The hometown jeweler sold that ring.—Capper’'s Weekly." Old Superstition Much quaint, mythical superstition centers around ancient Dover castle, which overlooks the English channel. It is unique among English castles in more respects than one. No other an- cient fortress in this country has maintained its practical usefulness so long and no other has been accredited to the Industry of the devil. Accord- ing to the Bohemian Leo von Rotz- mital, “it was built by evil spirits and is so strong that in no other part of Christendom can anything be found like it.” It is easy to see the reason for this ascription. Foreigners casting covetous eyes on this gateway to the rich lands of England may well have found something diabolical in this fortress frowning down on them.—Lon- don Mail Too Good to Live A jury condemned the philosopher Socrates to death, but it is not record- ed that they were influenced in this by his statement, in the course of his de- fense, “While a soldier in the Greek army I went through the snows of a winter campaign barefoot, and no one ever saw me cross a street in Athens in the summer to get into the shade.” The mind of Socrates was never much on the weather, He believed that:one would suffer less and accomplish more if he did not bother his brains about the temperature, and what it might de to him. That is still very good philoso- phy.~-Detroit News. RUNVILLE. Mrs. Lydia Hampton, of Bellefonte, is visiting among friends in this place.

Swine Men Tackle Hard Proposition. Swine breeders of Pennsylvania are watching with interest the efforts of three of their number to fatten litters of only six pigs each so as to weigh a ton in six months and win places in the Keystone Ton Litter club.
