From the Memphis Commercial Appeal. One hundred years ago a man could not take a ride on a steamboat. He could not go from Washington to New York in a few hours. He had never seen an electric light or dreamed of an electric car. He could not send a telegram. He could not talk through the tele phone, and he had never heard of the hello girl. He could not ride a bicycle. He could not call in a stenographer and dictate a letter. He had never heard of the germ the ory or worried over bacilli or bacteria. He never looked pleasant before a photographer or had his picture taken. He never heard a phonograph talk or saw a kinetoscope turn out a prize fight. He never saw through a Webster's Unabridged Dictionary with the aid of a Roentgen ray. He had never taken a ride in an ele vator. He had never imagined such a thing as a typesetting machine or a type writer. He had never used anything but a wooden plow. He had never seen his wife using a sewing machine. He had never struck a match on his pants or anything else. He couldn't take an anesthetic and have his leg cut off without feeling it. He had never purchased a 10-cent magazine which would have been re garded as a miracle of art. He could not buy a paper for a cent and learn everything that had happen ed the day before all over the world. He had never seen a McConnick reaper or a self-binding harvester. He had never crossed an iron bridge. In short there were several things that he could not do and several things he did not know. And a hundred years from now they will have the laugh on us. A Woman Without headaches. There are, probably, few other wo men in this country as busy as Mrs. S. T. Rorer, the famous cook, or few who earn as much money. Besides her edi torial work for The Ladies' Home Journal, which involves answering several thousand letters each year, she conducts a big cooking-school in Phila delphia, and lectures almost constantly during the season, traveling through all sections of the country. Mrs. Rorer has never had a headache, she is never ill, and, in her appearance, is certainly the best example ono could have of her theories as to the right way to live. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 1901. Notes and News. The Renovo Record has entered upon its 30th year. Brother Shaffer has la bored hard and zealously for the town and county of his adoption and has given the citizens of Renovo a paper fully up to the times. We congratulate our genial friend and wish him many years of prosperity. The Austin Republican says that the rumors regarding George Hart's finan cial embarrassment are without founda tion. Like many a jobber, he was short of cash for his men, many of whom wanted to celebrate the holidays, but it | was only temporary. We hope the rumors will not affect his credit, which up to this time has been A No. 1. A Lexington, Ky,, dispatch says that Miller & Sibley, the millionaire horse men of Franklin, Pa., have retired from the trotting horse business, and have presented to Charles Marvin, the vet eran trainer, all the stock on their Ash land Park Farm, near Lexington. The stock would, it is said, be worth in the sale ring between $20,000 and $2.5,000. Erie Dispatch: Thomas A. Roberts, superintendent of this division of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and W. Iley wood Myers, general superintendent of Pennsylvania lines arrived in the city last night at 10:30 o clock, aboard the private car of the latter. Their visit will determine the status of this city so far as the railroad is concerned, Erie no longer being a division headquar ters. The disposition of the local force will also be considered and whatever changes are necessitated will be made. It is said that "Jack" Henry will retire from the local force and will look after his business interests. John P. Emery was elected to the Legislature in Venango county, as a regular Republican. At Harrisburg the callow fellow flopped and joined the enemies of his party, the insurgents. His perfidy is extolled by the party wreckers as an act of surpassing excel lence. Senator Washburn of Crawford, having grown tired of the tricks of the fusionists, joins forces with the regular Republicans and Washburn is deemed a fit subject for attack by the profes sional slanderers of the insurgent-fusion press. Thus it will be seen that it all depends upon whose ox is gored.— Bradford Era. He Meant Business. A Davenport boy went to New York to solicit a position to travel for a wholesale house, says Success. He went five times to one establishment, nd every time was told that they did not want to engage him He tried to prevail on them to let him make a trial trip, but to no avail. Finally he pro posed to buy a small stock of goods; this was business, and they were ready to se!l He then went on the road on his own account, and made money, FO when the firm saw that he meant busi ness they were ready to employ him, and he is now wealthy, being a member of the firm. Not a boy in a hundred would have had hia persistence after a refusal. There is nothing like courage or faith as an aid to success. Another member of that firm had only fourteen cents when he reached New York, to seek his fortune. MIMH Klnnslcy nnil the Uorlllnx. On the Gabun river Miss Mary ICingsley's guide one day called to her to creep quietly through the bushes and then she saw a family of five go rillas—an old male, three females and a young one. The pnide sneezed, which alarmed the gorillas, and they fled with a liark and a howl, the old male swinging from bough to bough like an acrobat on a trapeze. On another day Miss Kingsley and her two guides came suddenly upon a solitary male gorilla, who, as usual, had appropriated a forest glade as a park for his private enjoyment. Fu rious at the Intrusion, the brute, In-, stead of fleeing, came shambling to ward them, growling fiercely. "Shoot him," whispered Miss Kingsley. "I dare not," said the guide, "until he comes quite close. I have only one gun. The other Is out of order. If I miss, he will kill us." The gorilla came nearer. Rearing himself on his hind legs he beat his breast and roared, just as Du Chaillu described long ago. Then, running for ward, he stopped and roared again and again ran forward until quite close. Then the guide fired and the gorilla dropped dead.—Chambers' Journal. Interested. Mrs. Newrich—l never can remember how many cards to leave when calling. Old Gentleman—The rules are very simple, madam. You hand one to the servant and then departing leave as many on the plate as there are adult members of the family, adding two of your husband's cards and occasionally dumping In a few more for good meas ure. Do not be niggardly in dealing out cards, as that suggests vulgar pov erty. "I am very much obliged. Are you a professor of etiquette?" "No, madam. I am Mr. Bristol, the card manufacturer."—Exchange. Explained. "This," said the drug clerk, "is a most wonderful hair rcnewer. It's our own preparation. "Well, give me a bottle," said the baldheaded man. "But, say, come to think of it, why don't you use it? You're pretty bald yourself." "I can't uie it. You see, I'm the 'be fore using' clerk. The 'after using' clerk is out at lunch. You should see him."—Philadelphia Press. , Sterling Run. Editor Pre»»:— We are having fine skating. Mrs. John Sumuierson is some better at this writing. Mrs. T. J.
