Once there was an epidemic of plague at Odessa, in Russia, which lasted more than a year. It had a most re markable origin, being due to a fatal flag. An Austrian vessel arrived at Odessa, bringing one of the crew who bad died during the voyage. The sail or was duly interred in the Catholic I cemetery at the port, and at the fu neral the Austrian flag was carried l>.v two seamen. On their way back to the vessel the men entered a graat number of saloons and laid down the flag while drinking. A very short time afterward the sailors who had carried the flag died, and before long j it was found that people were ill in all the houses where the men bad call i ed with the fatal flag. Soon the plague | spread throughout Odessa, filling all I with terror and claiming a frightful toll. There is no doubt that the flag > contained the plague bacilli in the j <v>ids and so spread the disease.— j Baltimore Sun. An Eye Experiment.

Two ministerial candidates named Adam and Low preached in a Scottish rliurch. Mr. Low preached in the morning and took for his text, "Adam, where art thou?"

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MARCH 19, 1908 Sensible Dog. "Talking about the intelligence of an imals," said young Kanebiter, "why, I have a dog up at the farm that's sim ply wonderful." "How so?" said Pitken. "Why, you see, I was out shooting one day when I found a large, hand some dog lying on the ground moaning with pain. Some ruffian had shot it in the leg. I carried it home, bandaged the wound and finally cured the poor beast. Some months after that I was compelled to travel it lonely road after dark when suddenly Ponto, who ac companied me, growled warnlngly. The next moment a highwayman step ped out of the bushes and put a pistol to iny head." "Ah," cried the listener, "I see! Thereupon the grateful dog seized the robber by the throat." "Not at all. The man robbed me easily enough—took watch, purse, ev erything." "But Ponto?" "Han off as fast as his legs would larry him. That's*the point—don't you •ee? Animal instinct—didn't want to get shot again," lllustrated London News. The Ferret and the Rat. A correspondent of a London paper, commenting on the crusade against rats in Great Britain, says:"The real remedy against rats is the ferret, not the unhealthy ferret kept by the half starved rat catcher of the agricultural village, but the strong, healthy ferret bred on the ground floor of a well ven tilated, commodious dog kennel and there kept 011 skimmiik, table refuse and small birds. Bedded with clean wheat straw, the ferret is one of the sweetest of animals, and the expert goes into the kennels and cheers them as though in a kennel of hounds, and they crawl about him harmlessly. The young bucks will run miles across the country with the expert, just like lit tle terriers. With this healthy life they grow too big for hunting rats In barns or other buildings, but they can settle any rat in a wheat stack if put In before the rat has made a labyrinth inside the stack. The doe ferrets will rout the buildings, and they alone should In* the chief instrument in the crusade. The rat is too cunning for guns, traps and other devices." The Hundred Best Books. "The fact is that there is no possi bility of naming the hundred best books. The naming of them for any large general audience is quite impos sible. All that Is possible in such a connection is to state emphatically that there are very few books that are equally suitable to every kind of in tellect," says Clement Shorter in his book of "Immortal Memories." "Tem perament as well as intellectual en dowment makes for so much In read ing. Take, for example, the 'lmitation of Christ.' George Eliot, although not a Christian, found it soul satisfying. Thackeray, as I think a more robust in tellect, found it well nigh as mischiev ous as did Eugene Sue. There are great books that can be read only by the few, but surely the very greatest appeal alike to the man of rich Intel lectual endowment and to the man to whom all processes of reasoning are incomprehensible." Same, but More of It. Sitting in a Broadway restaurant the other evening were two young women who had not met for four years. One of them had grown stout and the other had admitted that she wouldn't have recognized her old friend under ordi nary circumstances. They sat silently looking nt each other for a moment, when the heavyweight inquired: "What arc you thinking about?" "I was just trying to see whether your expression is the same as it used to be," said her friend. "Just the same," the girl with the avoirdupois declared. "Only more of it."—New York GIOIK-. An Irish Tale. One day an Irishman, having put his hat upon a gate post by which he lay down to sleep, sprang up at midnight and, mistaking the object for an en emy, dealt it a desperate cut with his scythe. Perceiving his mistake, the man gave thanks to heaven that he had taken It off before lying down. "For," said he, "had my head been In that hat, 'tis ten to one I had laid it open with my scythe, and 'tis a dead man 1 would have been seeiu' mesilf at this minute!"— London Captain. Not Far to Go. The reporter hurried up to the scene of the accident, A workman engaged 011 some scaffolding had missed his footing and had fallen many feet into the street below. Then the reporter went off to interview the unfortunate man, who luckily had escaped with a very severe shaking and a few nasty bruises, and asked sympathetically: "Did you have vertigo, my man?" "Oil, no, sir; only about thirty-five feet. Quite far enough for me, though." —Pearson's. An Effective Scarecrow.

"What Is the number?" repented cen tral. "Violet Park, eight-seven-seven." "Violet Park, eight-double-seven?" "I reckon so." "And what number do you want?" "Elmdale, two-naught-four-seven." "What is your name?" "My name is John Henry Miggles. I live at 65 Blicken street, Violet Park. My house phone is Violet Park, eight seven-seven or eight-double-seven, as you choose. I am married, have no children. We keep a dog and a cat and a perpetual palm and a Boston fern, and"— "All that is unnecessary, sir. We merely"— "And last summer we didn't have a bit of luck with our roses. I tried to have a little garden, too, but the neigh bors' chickens got away with that. The house is green, with red gables. There is a cement walk from the street. I am forty years old. My wife is young er and looks it. We have a piano, keep a cook and an upstairs girl.

But Mr. Miggles wrote a letter.—New Orleans Picayune. Squaring the Circle. There is a record of an attempted quadrature in Egypt 500 years before tin? exodus of the Jews, and, if we are to take Ilone as an authority, the problem was solved by Hippocrates, the geometrician of Chios, nearly 500 years B. C. By some It is claimed that the efforts of Hippocrates were in the direction of converting a circle into a crescent because he had found that the area of a figure produced by draw ing two perpendicular radii is exactly equal to tiie triangle formed by the line of conjunction. This last is the famous theorem of the "lunes of Hip pocrates." The "Papyrus Ithind," the oldest mathematical book in the world, written by one Akmes about 2,000 B. gives a rule for "squaring the circle." The rule given requires that the diameter of a circle shall be short ened by one-ninth and the square erect ed upon this shortened line. The early Babylonians also worked at this old mathematical problem, as is attested by several references in the Talmud. The Only One. Henry VIII. of England, being at oue time at variance with Francis I.of France, decided to send an ambassa dor and to charge him with a very fierce and menacing message to this prince. He chose for this office an English bishop in whom he had great confidence and whom he believed would be the most proper person to carry out his design. Ilis prelate, be ing informed of the nature of his mis sion and fearing for his life should he treat with Francis in the haughty manner his master desired, represented to the king the danger to which he was exposing him and begged not to be sent on this mission. "Oh, never fear," said Henry. "If the king of France should kill you, I will have the head of every French man I find in my kingdom." "I believe you, sire." replied the bish op, "but permit me to assure you that of all the heads you will cut off there is not one of them that will fit on my body as well as my own!" The Letter M. The Hebrew name of M was Mem, water, and it is curious to note that the original form of this character In the most ancient manuscript is a wav ing line, which to the not too particu lar ancients represented water. By some philologists the letter M as used by the Phoenicians is supposed to have come from a picture representing the human face, the two down strokes rep resenting the contour of the counte nance, the V stroke signifying the nose, the two (lots, long since disused, and a stroke beneath the V represent ing the eyes and the mouth. The o'*d Phoenician form of the letter does In deed bear a comical sort of resem blance to the human face. The Cure. "You look glum," said the husband of one clever woman to the man who had married her companion. "So would you if your wife studied geology and tilled the house with stones until there wasn't a place left for you to sit." "Don't worry about that," was the cheerful reply. "Turn your wife's thoughts to astronomy. That will suit her just as well, and she can't collect specimens."—Sketchy Bits. Putting !t Gently. Mr. Heupeck i hear that young Jones and his wife are not getting along very well. Mrs. Ilenpeck (ati ♦horltatively)—Jones should never have married when he did.
