' His Nom de Plume Not Original With Clemens f Bk iit i TH | ~——-—The junior class of the Belle- fonte High school will hold a food sale at the Variety Shop, Saturday, The name “Mark Twain" was first March 21st. used by an old Mississippi river pilot named Isaiah Sellers, who used to | : 4 i write items for the New Orleans Pilca- yune, in which he told of his adven- tures in a quaintly egotistical tone. The paragraphs usually began, “My opinion for the benefit of the citizens | of New Orleans.” They were signed “Mark Twain,” which, in the parlance | | of pilots, is a leadsman’s call, meaning | two fathoms—twelve feet. Samuel Clemens, then a cub pilot, wrote a burlesque on Captain Seller's articles, and published it in a rival paper over the signature “Sergeant Fathom.” i i Rellers was so hurt by the burlesque that he never wrote another article. In 1863 Clemens was working for the Enterprise, published in Virginia City, Nev. He wanted a good pen name. While he was trying to think of a good one, he received news of the death of Sellers. This suggested to him “Mark Twain,” the name Sellers once used, and he signed it first to a letter from Carson City to the Enter- prise under date of February 2, 1863, Bank Notes of Sweden Defy the Counterfeiter Swedish hank notes offer practical- ty insurmountable difficulties to coun- terfeiters, hecause of a secret process used in the manufacture of the bank note paper, at the ancient paper mill of Tumba. The Swedish riksbank, which has heen in existence for more than 260 years, and is the oldest in- stitution of its kind in the world, in 1755 purchased the Tumba mill for the manufacture of its bank-note pa- per. Since then this paper has been man afactured there hy workmen who have passed along the secret of their craft from father to son. A number of processes, which are guarded by the strictest secrecy, are used in the mak- ing of the paper, and the hank notes are very carefully printed to avoid all possibility of forgery. Through certain chemical ingredients in the bhank-note paper it can even, if burned, be identi. fied from the ashes.—Montreal Family Herald —— Chinese Wisdom Anent after-dinner speeches, one of the most popular London diplomats was sitting next to his Chinese col- leagne at a big dinner in London, which was being followed by the usual interminable after-dinner speeches. After listening a while, he turned to his Chinese neighbor, and casually asked: “And what is your opinion of after- dinner speeches? Do you have them also In China?" Whereupon the Chinese diplomay calmly and politely replied. “Oh, yes, of course, we, too, used tv nave them—but we abolished this hab- it some 1,500 years ago.” Having attended quite a few din ners, and accompanying speechmak- ings, we think this story well worth repeating.—London Chronicle, Ear-Piercing Dying Out According to the statement of a doctor quoted some time ago, ear-pierc- ing still prevails, but to only a lim- ited extent, “At one time it was be- lieved that piercing the ears and wear- ing tiny gold rings was a preventive for eye and other troubles. As a mat- ter of fact, however, it is just simply a survival of the period when we were savages and induiged in a primitive style of decoration by mutilation. Be- tween piercing the ears and putting gold rings in the healed-up holes is but a whisper from the present prac- tice of African savages of slitting the lips and by a gradual increasing in the size of objects soon having a hole big enough to slip a plate into.” Origin of “Blue Blood” Although blood has never been blue, the term “blue blood” has denoted aristocracy for more than 400 years, observes the Golden Book Magazine, which explains the origin of the term. “Those who claim aristocratic de- scent have ‘blue blood’ in their veins, which Is meant to he complimentary in a manner of speaking. The expres- sion comes from Spain where, after the expulsion of the Moors, who were dark skinned, people with light skins claimed pure descent from ancestors who lived before the Moorish con- quests, The light skins permitted the blue veins to show more vividily."” Still a Surprise Wilson & Webster received a letter from & London firm. It read: “We are very much surprised that the money we have so often demanded has not yet arrived.” “What shall we do?” sald Mr. Wil- son. “write them a letter,” said Mr. | Webster. They wrote a letter, and when the manager of the London firm opened it he read: “You do not need to won- der; we have not sent the money.”— | London Answers, Extreme Affection New expressions of love always | brought a repetition from Bobby, to the delight of his father on returning home each evening. tove you so much, it hurts.” up to his father and said: “Daddy, I love you so much, it's sore.” of | the decision CATHAUNM = STATE COLLEGE FRIDAY | Eleanor Boardman, Monte Blue in “THE FLOOD" SATURDAY Geo.
