— “Bellefonte, Pa., September 25, 1925. Made Sure Her Third Husband Was Worthy Temperament, background, family, are bogles of the imagination, and suc- cess or fallure in marriage depend on just two things—a man and a woman, Why was I not afraid to attempt a third marriage? I had every cause to ‘be suspicious, not only of men but of my own judgment of them. But I be- lieve there is only one permanent happiness—the happiness which ema- nates from an institution that has been the basis of our social system. Yet I was in no hurry to wed when I finally did meet the man who was «destined to be my third husband. I decided to know much more of this man than I had of the two others when I married them. For two years I saw him under varying conditions. 1 saw him when he was happy and ‘when he was angry; when he was ‘making money and when he wasn’t. ‘1 saw him when he was well and when ‘hé was ill. Most important of all, I ‘was present, watching, when he and ‘my small daughter first laid eyes on -one another. After two years of these ipersonal viewings I knew that my ‘prayers had been answered. My hus- ‘band Is an Irishman, a temperamental ‘Irishman. — Avery Strakosch, In ‘Hearst's International-Cosmopolitan. First Known Envelope Is in British Museum "The first envelope of which there ils any knowledge inclosed a letter «gent May. 16, 1696, by Sir \Villiam ‘Turnbull to Sir James Ogilvie. The repistle dealt with English affairs of :gtate, and, with its covering, is care- fully preserved in the British muse- Jum, At that period, and long afterward, Ht was the general custom to fold let- ‘ters and seal them with wafers of ‘wax. As a matter of fact, it is still ‘fashionable to use sealing wax on the flaps of envelopes. Many people now ilving can remember the time when the old method of sealing was still in ‘use. A reference to a “letter with an en- velope” is found in a poem written by ‘Dean Swift in 1726. Tree Centuries Old In northern Utah, beside the Logan «Canyon highway, is to be seen what is believed to be the oldest juniper ‘tree in the world. Scientists state that the tree is not less than 3,000 years old. Its diameter, breast high, is seven feet six inches and the height is 42 feet. Only a few hundred years ago the tree was growing as rapidly :a8 at any time during its life. A sec- tion of the heartwood shows that 200 years were required for the first two .inches of thickness, indicating that ihe tree's struggle for existence wus umade under adverse conditions. later ithe tree was growing at the rate of two inches every 60 years, a remark- .able fact, considering its location and wage. The forest service has erected «a sign .near .the tree giving the inter esting facts dbout the veteran. Measuring Sleep Persons differ very greatly in their mode of slumber. Some awaken at ithe slightest neise, while others are only areused with difficulty. These differences have been carefully classi- fied by .sciemtists. When scientists speak of how “fast” a person sleeps ‘they mean how deep is his sleep, Not «only is it possible to measure sleep. ‘but there are different means of do- ing so. One method is by dropping a steel ball. The ball is dropped at increasing distances—four, six, eight, ten, twelve inches, and so on—until ithe sleeper becomes conscious of the sound and awakens. In this way .scientists can find out how “deep” ‘was his sleep. Another method Is to touch the sleeper with an electric ‘wire, noting the intensity of the cur- went used. Out of the Past «Our kind correspondent, H., P. F., sends us a lengthy contribution of «lipped anecdotes and jokes from a scrapbook compiled in 1840. We have room for but two: A beautiful woman said to a gen- eral officer. “How is it, having ob- tained so much glory, you should still geek for more?’ “Ah, madame,” he replied, “how Is It that you who have 80 much beauty should still put on rouge?” “Tom, tell me the greatest lie, now, you ever told in your life and I'll give you a glass of cider.” “Me? I never told a lie.” “Boy, draw the cider.”—Boston Transcript. Scotland Forever Jean entered a butcher's shop in a little town in Scotland and demanded to see a sheep's head. “Is it English?” she asked when one was shown her, “No, lass, it’s Scotch,” replied the butcher. “Then it'll no do,” sald Jean. “Mis- tress is English and she said I was to be sure and bring English meat.” “Here, Jock!” said the butcher, toss- ing the sheep's head over to his as- sistant, “take the brains out of that, will you?’—Vancouver Province. ——@Get the Watchman if you want the local news. Gifts Imagined to Amend for Ugliness An English writer tells how being in a theater with a foreigner he asked him the inevitable question as to what he thought of London. “I never saw So many ugly people in my life,” was | the startling reply. On looking about bim the writer felt that the reply of the foreigner was not far astray. From this he inquires as to why it is that In a country blessed with pret- ty children there should grow up such unattractive adults, and he concludes that civilization is doing something to the race—something undesirable, un- less we are to assume that ugly peo- ple are brainier than handsome ones. This every handsome man and wo- man among us will hasten to deny. The fact is, no doubt, that when a person is ugly something has to be said to commend hin to our acquaint- ances, so they are hastily assured that this person they are about to meet, while he does not look well, is really quite an unusual person and highly gifted. One statement like that about a man may keep him going for years, for others repeat it. All he needs do is refrain from showing that he is without gifts of any sort. Declares Music Cure for Mental Trouble A medical journal has recently an- | nounced the results of some experi- ments made to ascertain the relation of music ana medicine. One curious piece of news obtained is that if a lively air Is played on a harp or mandolin, a man’s tired mus- cles regain their original vigor. The music of a violoncello, on the other hand, has a precisely opposite effect, in temporarily lessening the usual strength and vitality of the hearer. In nervous and impressionable peo- ple, sad music in -a minor key, such as Chopin's “Funeral March,” actually weakens the pulse and makes the beat- ing of the heart feebler and more ir- regular. An American doctor stated not long ago that almost every mental trouble could be cured by suitable selections of classical music regularly adminis- tered. Jealousy, grief, overwork, homicidal mania, nervous breakdown. all had their corresponding air. Pleasure in Garden The squirrels and nuthatches are a continual amusement to watch: I love . to see the nuthatch come to a coco- nut which is filled with a mixture of i hemp seeds and nuts; he eats his fill of hemp seeds, then selects a nut and flies away with it. One of the squirreis hung himself in the ropes of the coco- nwt (head downward) one day. Betty (my mother’s good Swiss maid) . . . went to the rescue, but he bit her at once, The verandah looks like the border of an illuminated manuseript— with all these pretty creatures among the trellis of monthly roses; the tits too. . . . Certainly, a garden, with its inhabitants of all sorts, is a never failing happiness and interest to a quiet person like myself.—Janet Cath- erine Symonds. The Substitute Little Betty was anxious to own a cat, but her father had a great aver- sion to them and turned a deaf ear to all her pleadings. He did say, how- ever, that she could have a dog if she could find a nice, well-behaved one that wouldn’t bite the baby. 9ne day while walking with her mother, Betty saw a kitten frisking along beside her. She turned a wistful face to her: mother and sald: “Oh, mummy! See! It doesn’t seem to belong to anyone! Can't 1 take it home?” “But, Betty, daddy says you cap nave a dog, but not a cat.” “W-well, mummy, can’t we take it nome and use it for a dog?” Marvelous Precocity fhe precocious infant was being submitted to the psychological tests in order to determine the degree of his zenjus. He had already picked out numbers, arranged blocks and distin- guished colors. Then came the su- preme test, the identification of vari- ous coins. The investigator tossed a nickel on the floor. The precocious infant bent over it while the proud parents held their breath. Then the precocious infant winkea at his dad and cried exultantly, “Heads !"—Pathfinder Magazine. First Evening Schools it is impossible to say exactly whew evening schools had their origin in America. In a contract made with the schoolmaster of Flatbush, N. Y., in 1682, the evening school is mentioned, but it is probable that allusion is made to the afternoon session of the school which began at 1 p. m. It is certain, however, that in 1773 evening schools were conducted as private ventures in Salem, Mass., especially for instruction in the mariner’s art, although some poor boys were taught to “cypher and to write.” View of Friendship I have never given much encourage ment to friendship; I have done little for my friends, and they have done little for me. One of the ideas which I have so often to cope with is that friendship, as it is generally under- stood, is an injustice and a blunder, | which only allows you to d'stinguish the good qualities of a single person and blinds you to those of others who are perhaps more deserving of your sympathy.— Ernest Renan. i HO'W TO SOLVE A CROSS-WORD PUZZLE When the correct letters are placed in the white spaces this pussle will spell words both vertically and horizontally.

The biological survey says that when migratory birds are removed to some section not native to them they usually disappear after the first sea- son. They do not become acclimated, and whether they die from lack of food or get lost, or are lost during mi- gration, is not known.
