How About This, Constables?
The Bradford Herald in an article
telling of a "graft" overlooked by the
constables in McKean county, says:
The law provides that any owner of
land who is convicted of allowing Cana
dian thistles to grow on his premises
shall pay a fine of sls to the treasury ot
the school district where such land is
looated. It further provides that it is
the duty of the constable or supervisor
to notify all persons to remove Cana
dian thistles and if the owner fails to
do so within five days from the notice
the constable shall cut them down and
charge the owner of the land $2.50 per
day.
There is not a township in the connty
were these thistles do not grow in
abundance and a number of them may
be found growing in the city. A con
stable could make good money cutting
them down as it would only take a con
stable a few minutes to do the job and
the law knows no part of a day and
pays a full day's wages for any part of
a day's service.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 1903.
Thnman n Beoket.
In 1538, when Henry VIII. rooted np
Thomas a Becket's grave and erased
his name from the scroll of saints, he
also ordered that all pictures, stained
glass windows and frescoes hearing up
on the life of this saint should be de
stroyed. In some churches where St.
Thomas was held In special honor the
law was evaded by superimposing an
other picture over the forbidden one.
On the north wall of the church at
South Newlngton, near Banbury, Eng
land, there Is a crudely executed fresco
of Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusa
lem. From the effects of age and damp
this fresco is gradually disappearing,
and now through the colossal donkey on
which our Lord is represented riding
can be seen the figure of the murdered
archbishop prone 011 the chancel steps.
Gradually, possibly, the whole under
lying fresco of the murder of St. Thom
as at Canterbury will come into view,
and it is evidently of far higher artistic
merit than the hastily executed cover
ing one.
Not of Oar Killing.
When Senator Galllnger was practic
ing medicine in his New Hampshire
home, he had a coachman who was a
"character" worthy of the attention
of any writer of fiction. On one occa
sion Dr. Galllnger was called profes
sionally at a house next to a residence
on which was displayed black crape as
a sign of death. A passerby, noticing
the crape and not knowing who had
died there, supposed Dr. Galllnger was
in the house and that his coachman
could give the desired Information. The
coachman seemed to take the inquiry
as a personal affront and bristled up
in martial style.
"I don't know,"he retorted prompt
ly. "It's not of our killln'—lt's not of
our killln'."
Then he pulled his horse up so as to
avoid any further suspicion that he
was waiting for the doctor to come out
of the house with the badge of mourn
ing.—Washington Star.
Trollope Dl>K«recd.
Although Anthony Trollope never
smoked, he liked being with those who
did. It soothed his nerves, he said, and
sent him to sleep. On one occasion,
when he had Just returned to London
from South Africa, he was talking at
the Cosmopolitan club to Lord Carna
von. Lord Derby, Froude, the historian.
Lord Wolseley and one or two others
equally famous on the future of that
country. In the midst of the discussion
Trollope fell asleep, and after a quar
ter of an hour's doze he awoke, shaking
himself together like the faithful,
growling Newfoundland dog he so
much resembled. Dissentient even In
his unconsciousness, he spluttered
forth: "I utterly disagree with every
one of you. What is it you said ?"
Rain and Plant*.
Many persons must have noticed that
the most diligent sprinkling of lawns
and flower beds foils to impart to the
grass and plants n vital stimulus equal
to that which conies from a good show
er of rain. A correspondent reminds
us of the reason for the difference. It
is because rain, falling from a great
height through the air, brings with it
a considerable quantity of carbonic
acid, of nitrogenous particles and of
other elements nutritious to plants
which it has washed out of the atmos
phere. So a sprinkler used from the
top of a tall building might be slightly
more effective than when employed at
the surface of the ground.
HUM- She Knew.
Apropos of the servant maid difficul
ty I heard a good story the other day.
The wife of a very well known Irish
official was In want of an under nurse,
and among those who applied for the
position was a good natured looking
girl of about seventeen. "You tell me,"
■aid the official's wife, "that you are
very fond of children. That Is all very
well In its way, but do you under
stand anything about the duties of a
nursery? Have you any experience of
children?" "Yls, mum," was the reply.
"Sure I used to be a child wanst me
eilf."—London Tatler.
"Where the Typewriter Blundered.
Church—You know French, who
keeps the restaurant?
Gotham—Oh yes.
"Well, he wants a new typewriter."
"What's the matter with that good
looking one he had?"
"Ob, the other day be told her to
write and get the price of frogs' legs,
and she addressed the letter to the Hop
Growers' association."—Exchange.
On Principle.
Bert (nervously)—l heard pa tell ma
he was goln' to flog me on principle
lifter prayers tonight. Where's prin
ciple. Billy?
Billy—l think it's somewhere at the
hack, Bert. The last time he flogged
me on principle 1 hail to sit sideways
for more'n a fortnight.—London Tit-

Wetplmr at m Wedding.
1 A Chinese marriage is all ceremony—
BO talk, no levity and much crying.
The solemnity of a funeral prevails.
| After the exchange of presents the
bride is dressed with much care la a
red gown, brocade or silk, if she can
get It; her eyelashes are painted a deep
black, and she wears a heavy red veil
attached to a scarlet headdress, from
which Imitation pearls are pendent
over the forehead. A feast is spread
upon a table, to which the blushing
bride is led by five of her best female
friends. They are seated at the table,
but no one eats. The utmost silence
prevails, when, finally, the mother leads
off in a cry, the maids follow and the
bride echoes In the chorus. Then all
the bridesmaids leave the table and
the disconsolate mother takes a seat
beside the chair of state where the
bride sits. The bridegroom now enters,
With four of his best men. The men
pick up the throne on which the bride
sits, and, preceded by the bridegroom,
form In procession and walk around
the room or into an adjoining parlor,
signifying that he is carrying her away
to his own home. The guests then
throw rice at the happy couple, a cus
tom we have borrowed from the
heathen.
Profennlonnl Pride.
Newspaper men, from great editors
down to rural correspondents, are
proud of their profession, although not
all sit as secure as John Black, for
many years the chief of the London
Chronicle.
Black supported the Melbourne ad
ministration In his paper, yet he never
asked a favor of any of the ministers.
On one occasion Lord Melbourne said
to him:
"You are the only man In England
who forgets that I am prime minister."
"How so, my lord?" Inquired Black,
supposing that he had been Inadver
tently disrespectful.
"Because," replied Melbourne, "you
are the only man I know who never
asks a favor of me."
"I have no favor to ask," said Black
quietly. "I have no favor to ask any
one In the world! You are prime min
ister of England, but I am editor of
the Morning Chronicle, and I would
not change places with the proudest
man In EnglsJnd— not even, my lord,
with you."
