CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1903.
Whitman «t« all Editor,
Whitman wrote 011 anything and ev
erything, after the fashion of editors,
lometlrues with earnestness, sometimes
ivith undisguised indifference. Here is
;i sample of an occasional sort: "To
cure the toothache plunge your feet in
coid water. Strange, but true." For
"but" most people would reael "if."
The man who must supply a column
at a given hour every day cannot make
the quality uniform. Whitman dis
cusses public and personal questions,
asks if It is right to dance and answers
himself that it is if one goes to bed in
decent season, rates the ferry company
for allowing mfti to smoke and spit on
the decks, and while the United States
army is fighting In Mexico he turns out
a restful screcel entitled "Some After
noon Gossip" devoted to a rainfall and
the lamentations of ice cream makers'
011 account of the cool weather. Some
happenings always drew a lecture from
him. He could not abide harshness,
unfairness, tyranny or cruelty. Not an
execution of the death sentence occur
red anywhere In the Union that he did
not inveigh against capital punishment.
Indeed the severities of law seemed to
irritate him more than the severities of
the criminal.—Charles M. Skinner in
Atlantic.

The senator had droppesel in for n
friendly chat with his friend the edi
tor of his home paper and had hardly
seateel himself when there appeared a
well known character of the town, a
type of liiellvidual common to every lo
cality, the man who knows "how the
paper ought to be run."
Without noticing the presence of the
senator the man launched Into a com
plaint that the paper had not printed
certain articles he had written for it.
"Why," said he,"l gave 'em to you
mouths ago. What have you done with
'em?"
The editor smiled sadly. "I'm hold
ing them," he replietl. "And the>y serve
a very gooel purpose too. Now and
then I get to thinking that perhaps we
are not offering the public as gexid a
paper as we ought to. At such times
I look up your articles anel se?e how
much worse the sheet might be. So I
become real cheerful again. Please
don't take them from me!"
Lover N of Beauty.
The Japanese have a most charming
custom which the Americans would do
well in following. In the houses of the
well to do there is always one room
which Is called "the chamber of the in
spiring view," and from the windows
of tills room may be seen some beauty
of nature, sometimes a glimpse of a
winding river or pretty bills, and fre
quently it is 110 more than a blossoming
cherry tree or an interrupted stretch of
white snow, but in any case showing
the simple love of the naturally beauti
ful. While we Americans give theater
and elinner parties, the Japanese get up
parties to visit the maple trees while
they are resplendent in the autumn col
ors or togo mushroom hunting, and in
the winter they go out into the country
to view the fresh untrodden snow.—De
troit Tribune.

The Journal des Debats tells a story of
Professor Rudolf I'"alb. 111 1574 he pre
dicted an eruption of Etna on Aug. 27.
He offered a Vienna editor to write
an account of it if the eelltor would
send him to Sicily. Falb was commis
sioned. When he reached Etna there
was not the slightest sjign of disturb
ance. As the 27th approncheel Falb
was torture*! with anxiety and spent
sleepless nights watching the volcano.
Nothing happened 011 the 27tli and 28th.
The following morning the servant
rushed into the professor's room shout
ing, "An eruption, a terrible eruption!"
Falb saw the spectacle and sent off his
dispatch.
Canxe and lOflTect.
A certain professor of pedagogy is
fond of repeating the following extract
from a composition submitted to him
for approval during the days when he
was a worker in the sehex>lteaehlug
ranks.
The extract runs as follows:
"Beings are divided into names, ac
cording to that which they feeel on.
The lion eats flesh—the lion is carnivo
rous. The e?ow eats grass—the cow is
herbarious. Man eats everything; there
fore man is omnipotent."

The ClieckerbeiTy,
The leaves of the wiutergreen, e
ptnall plant, whose bright red berries
about the size of peas, are sold on the
streets under the name of teaberry
have long been usoel for ten, says (IK
Philadelphia Press. From this il takes
the name by which it is known ii
Pennsylvania. New Englunders, foi
some unknown reason, call it checker
berry. The foliage is very aromatic
and people who like a dash of spiciness
In their drink have sometimes added its
flavor to real tea.
It is near of kin and similar in taste
to the creeping snowberry, a small, del
leate* vine abundant In the great bogs
and mossy woods of the north and Al
leghany regions, and this is nlso ap
proved by mountain palates as a sub
stitute for tea.
Thoreau In"The Maine Woods" tells
of his Indian guide bringing it ink
camp one night and recommending ii
as the best of all substitutes for tea
"It has a slight checkerberry flavor,'
he records, "and we both agreed that il
was better than the black tea we had
drought. We thought It a discovery
and that It might be dried and sold ir
the shops."
Tl»e "Meenlnter 1 *" Appetite.
The minister of a kirk in a rathei
gemote country parish in Scotland, with
his ruling elder, went a long journey
for the "catechising" of an old parish
loner. The walk was long and arduous,
and when they arrived at their destina
tion their appetites, to say the least
were somewhat "keen," and they did
justice to the meal which the old pa
rishioner offered them. "Now, Janet,"
said tiie minister, when he and his
companion had for awhile finished eat
ing, "we will begin the serious busi
ness. Do you remember the text fot
last Sunday?" "Aye, I mind it well,'
replied Janet. "It was about the mir
acle of the loaves and the fishes.'
"And have you pondered the subject
during the week, Janet?" continued the
minister. " 'Deed have I, sir," said
the woman, "and I'm thinkin' the noc
that if you and the elder had been there
they wadna' have taken up sae uiony
basketfuls."
Children In HUMKIII.
A long towel is used by Russian peas
ant women to support their babies.
These latter have no baby clothes, but
are wrapped in a linen sheet, and tbe
long towel, fastened in a knot behind
the mother, passes from the sliouldei
under one arm and makes a sort of
sling for the baby to lie in. Children
in Russia are not generally allowed oul
In tlie severe weather of winter, bul
run about barefoot in summer. At
night it is so warm in summer thai
the beds are often pulled outside ol
the house altogether, and it is not an
uncommon thing 011 the way home from
some late amusement to come across a
sleeping family of peasants. Richei
families have balconies, onto wlilcli
they also sometimes elrag their beds
on summer nights.
I'ipe FllliiiK iim a Profession.
There are few ways of earning an
honest penny more strange than that
in which an old couple in the north of
England eke out a scanty income. Tlieli
little cottage is sltuateel near a large
mine, and every morning the colliers
before descending to their work le-ave
their pipes and tobacco boxes in the
hands of the old folk. The pipes are
cleaned and liileel ready for lighting
and the miners can come up at the
dinner hour and enjoy a good smoke
without having to expenel time ir
charging their pipes. They are again
left to be in readiness for the evening
The small weekly charge per pipe
mounts into a respectable number ol
shillings at the week's end.
Indian Munlc.
A student of music of the aborigines
states that the Indians have innumera
ble songs which conform to a definite
melodic system. Many persons have
been led to believe that Indian mush
consists wholly of drums, whoops and
yells, but, in the face of twenty years
serious stuely of the matter and thou
sands of phonograph records, this be
lief is fast disappearing. These mel
oelies are all indissolubly linked to leg
ends, myths, ceremonials or religious
rituals of the greatest poetic and dra
inatic beauty.
