THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURO, PA- THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURG, PA. THURSDAY, MAY 7, 1908. THE LfXfltY OP THE MCIl.r The Curious and Wonderful Story Ik-hind n lull of Fare. For any one who has Imagina tion there Is a curious and wonder ful story behind a "luxurious" bill of fare. Let us begin with the wines; and let us assume that they are genuine, for one can usually havo the authentic thing by paying the price for it. The wines on a richly decked table really represent the work of hundreds of French peasants, with their wives and chil dren, who, In the midst of a lovely country, rise early and toll late, with loving and tender care, watching over the growth and ripening of the fruit of what Is one of the most beautiful and decorative plants In the world. Millions of these thrifty, simple people depend for their well being and comfort on the constant demand for wines, and for the best and purest, and therefore the most expensive wines. The rich do not compel these people to work, na ture compels them to work. What the rich do is to Influence the direc tion In which way they shall work, and to bring within their reach all kinds of commodities In exchange for their work. So other things on the same table represent the well-being, thj family comfort, of shepherds In th hills, perhaps, of our own West, or of Wales or Scotland; or the wealth of fishermen on the rivers of Maine, cr along our New England coasts; or, again, the earnings of the hun ters along the fringes of the sea marshes, or among the woods and hills, or on the prairie; vigorous, adventurous men, with a warm love Of every changing aspect of natural beauty, who are thus able to lead half wild lives under the fair dome of heaven. It li just the putting In motion of a huge army of folk, scat tered over widespread regions, car rying out exacting taskt, that makes the cost of an expensive banquet: and the rich man is simply the fac tor, determining In which of a score of directions a constant stream of resources shall flow, bring the power to work and recompense for work, to a varied army of good people all orer the world. The basis of the thing Is that the richest man In the world cannot rpend a penny except by paying aome one for something. Harper's Weekly. The Sun From a Tlnlloon. At the height of to miles the sun ahines with a fierce Intensity un known below where the dust and the denser air scatter the rays which, thus diffused, lost their intensity while Illuminating every nook and comer of our houses. At heights exceeding five miles, this diffused light Is mostly gone and the sun shines a glowing ball, harpiy outlined In a sky of which the bluo is so dark as to closely ap proach blackness. At the outer lim its of the atmosphere the sun would appear a brilliant star of massive size among other tars; and if one stepped from Its rays into shadow he would enter Egyptian darkness. At the height of a mile and a half we found it necessary to shelter our faces to prevent sunburn, although the air around us was but little warmer than that of the previous night, being about 45 degrees. As the afternoon wore on and the bal loon began to cool and sink, we were obliged to throw out much sand, casting It away a scoopful at a time, and Just after sunset it was necessary to empty two oi three bags at once. Atlantic. Dow t Tell It Don't tell anybody your age. It's nobody's business. If you look younger than you are, well and good ; get the benefit of It. If you look older than you are nobody will be lieve what you say about it, no don't tell them anything. Age la a sub ject that frightens most of us, and only disagreeable people discuss It anyway. Philosophers try to com fort us by pointing out that there are men and women who are born old, and others who are young to the end, and boys and girls at 70. Still, the girl of 70, It she has the courage of her years, has hitherto been obliged to declare herself "old." Light has come now, however, and septuagenarians . need only declare that they are "75 years young" that is, If they feel it necessary to explain at all. But between twenty and eighty, It is Just as well to keep off the subject altogether. There are lots of things to talk about that are more interesting and profitable than ages. On a Whaler. The cutting in and trying out of the blubber Is a prosy Job, and nasty Is no name for it. All hands strip down to a shirt, a pair of overalls rolled up to the knees showing a pair of bare shins and sockless feet in large brogans, and in we go grease from head to foot day and night until the whale Is all cut safely and on board. If we tarried bad weather would no doubt deprive us of our poll. It gives you a fnnny sensation at first to get into a deckful of blub ber, with the slimy stuff around your exposed cuticle, and oil squashing out of your shoes at every step. But I am getting used to that now, and i-JwlJlke a veteran. Forest 'A Good Name at Home" "Is a tower of strength abroad" and the excellent reputation of C.

So Caatloua Are They Few Bver Get Caught la a Trap. In the early day wolves were com. paratlvely unauspldoua, and It was easy to trap or poison them. Then knowledge, a new comprehension of the modern dangers, seemed to spread among the wolvea. They learned how to detect and defy the traps and poison, and in some way the knowledge was passed from one to another, till all wolves were fully possessed of the information. How this is done It not easy to say. It la easier to prove that it is done. Few wolves ever get Into a trap, fewer still get Into a trap and out again, and thus they learn that a steel trap is a thing to be feared. And yet all wolves have tie know ledge, as every trapper knows, and since they could not get it at first hand, they muRt have got It second hand that is, the Information was communicated to them by others of their kind. It is well known among hunters that a piece of Iron is enough to protect any carcass from the wolves. It a deer or antelope has been shot and is to be left out overnight, all that Is needed for its protection Is an old horseshoe, a spur, or even any part of the hunter's dress. No wolf will go near such suspicious looking or human tainted things. They will starve rather than ap proach the carcass to guarded. With poison, a similar change has come about. Strychnine was con sidered lnfalllable when first it was introduced. It did vast destruction for a time; then the wolves seemed to discover the danger of that par ticular smell and would no longer take the poisoned bait aa I know from numberless experience. It Is thoroughy well known among cattlemen now that the only chance of poisoning wolvea Is In the late summer and early autumn, when the young are beginning to run with the mother. She cannot watch over all of them the whole time, and there is a chance of some of them finding the bait and taking It before they have been taught to let that sort of smell-thing alone. The result is that wolves are on the Increase. They have been. In deed, since the late 80's. They havo returned to many of their old hunting grounds In the cattle coun tries, and each year they seem to be more numerous and more widely spread, thanks to their mastery of the new problems forced upon them by civilization. American Magazine. Strange Dishes Lion's flesh la said to furnish a very good meal. Tiger meat is not o palatable; for it Is tough and sinewy. In. India, nevertheless, It Is esteemed, because there is a super stition that It Imparts to the eater some of the strength and cunning that characterises the animal. This notion is not, of course, held by ta followers of Brahma and Buddha, whose religion forbids the eatiug of flesh. k There appears to be considerable difference of opinion among author!, ties on the subjelt as to the merits of elephant's flesh as an article of diet. By some It is considered a dainty; but here Is the authority of at least one European against It. Stanley said that he frequently tast ed elephant's flesh, and that It was more like soft leather and glue than anything else with which he could compare It. Another explorer, how ever, declares that he cannot imagine bow an animal so coarse and heavy as the elephant oould produce such delicate and tender flesh. All au thorities agree in commending the elephant's foot. Even Stanley ad mitted that baked elephant's foot was a dish fit for a king. When an elephant is shot In Af rica the flesh is cut Into strips and dried. This Is called biltong. The foot having been cut off at the knee Joint, is saved to make a feast. A bole about three feet deep Is dug la the earth, and the sides of it are baked hard with burning wood. Most of the fagots are then removed, and the elephant's foot is placed in the hole, which is filled with earth tight ly packed. The process Is complet ed by building a blazing fire on top. This Is kept burning for three hours. Thus cooked, the flesh Is like Jelly, and can be eaten with a spoon. It Is the greatest delicacy that can be Sl7tn to a Kafir OABTOHXA. Ban th Ihs Kind You Hae Always 3ouM Tho Marvels of Indian Magic. A former French Chief Justice In Chandermagaore, Jacolllot, gives an account of several curious perform ances that were displayed for his ben fit by a yogi named Bovblnda-Swaml on the terraco of his own house. Be ing by no means credulous, Jacolllot took every precaution to prevent de ception. Fine sand was strewn on the ground In -rder to make as even a surface as possible. Jacolllot was asked to scat hlmelf at a table upon which were a pencil and paper. The fakir carefully laid a piece of wood upon the sand, and announced that whatever figures Jacolllot might draw on the paper the piece of wood would transcribe them precisely up on the rand. The yogi stretched out his hand, and the wooden piece im mediately copied upon the sand the most complicated and twisted figures that Jacolllot drew. When the Frenchman stopped writing the piece of wood also came to a standstill. The fakir stood at a distance against a wall, while Jacolllot laid the paper and pencil In such a way that the In dian could not possibly see what ha aa Inscribing. Harper's Weekly.

Prodigious diamonds are not so uncommon as is generally supposed, says Sir William Crookes In the North American Review. Diamonds weighing over an ounce (151.

The largest known dia mond, "the "Culllnan," was found in the new Premier mine. It weighs no less than 3,025 carats. Not Itcally Ambitions.

Last Monday morning when Joe Dolley's hired man went to the barn he was surprised to hear the sound of muslo In the cow stable. He listened and plain and clear came the notes of "Old Zip Coon." Think ing some drunken man was there he opened the door and went in, but saw no one. Somewhat frightened, he looked around and found ' that the music was coming from the old cow'n mouth. That was too much, and he bolted for the house, tell ing Mrs. Dolley to come to the barn, as the old cow was bewitched. In vestigation showed that the little boy had dropped bis mouth organ in the stable the day before and the cow had tried to swallow It, but it had stuck in her throat and when she breathed she played "Old Zip Coon.' Kennebec Journal. Passed Up. An Erie woman made a batch of doughnuts the other day from a new fangled recipe, supposed to produce delicious, dainty dreams of para dise. But instead of the delicious puffs promised by the cook book, a good-sized batch of sinkers, was the result of the experiment. The wom an had forced herself to believe that the doughnuts were not wholly bad and was considerably disappointed, when, at meal time, the family pass ed them up. She had quite t lot on hand, and could well afford to bo liberal with u.em, so she handed the dog a couple. He, also, passed them un. Kansas City Journal.
