Life a Century Ago.
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.

A Deep Mystery.
It is a mystery why women endure
backache, headache, nervousness, sleep
lessness, melancholy, fainting and dizzy
spells when thousands have proved that
Electric Bitters will quickly cure such
troubles. "I suffered for years with kid
ney trouble," writes Mrs. Phebe C'hcrley,
of Peterson, la., "and a lame back pained
mc so I could not dress myself, but Elec
tric Bitters wholly cured mc, and,although
75 years old, I now atu able to do all my
housework." It overcomes constipation,
improves appetite, gives perfect health.
