The members of :i primary class in the young ladies' school were ambi tious to emulate the members of the senior class, whom they regarded with considerable envy on account of their proficiency in the art of writing compo- i sitions. Becoming eager for a like priv ilege. the live little girls were told that they might tell the world what they knew about "nails." A half hour was allotted to the diffi cult task, and all went to work. The first four had nothing unusual or star tling upon their papers, but Sadie M„ aged seven, was characterized by con- j siderable ingenuity. She took her place ! with dignity and read without a tre mor, "There are four kinds of nails— finger nails, door nails, toe nails and i tacks!" and resumed her seat bewitch ingly unconscious that she had caused the smile. Tho Insect and the Net. It has been known for a long time that an insect will not fly through a net with meshes three or four times as large as its body, whereas a bird will go through a mesh of corresponding size without hesitation. The insect can not tell us why it stops and lights on the net without trying togo through, and its peculiar action puzzled observ ers until the scientists took the matter up, as they do all things of that kind. They say that the eye of tho insect is made up of many facets, so that the not looks to it like a continuous opaque surface, the meshes not being appar ent. Therefore it stops or turns back before it discovers that it might have gone through the net without stopping. To the eye of the bird, however, the meshes are plainly visible, and it goes through without hesitation. What He Got. He was addressing a lowly but intel ligent uudience somewhere in the vi cinity of Whitechapcl, and ho had se lected for his discourse "Rhymes and Rhyming," so that lie might illustrate to those rough and rugged minds how the charms of poesy can brighten the poor man's hearth. And, touching upon the difficulties of rhyming, he said: "It is easy enough, my friends, to get a rhyme for BO simple a word as 'sea,' but what can you get for 'bur glary?' " "Well, guv'nor," exclaimed one of his : hearers, "it all depends on the judge. . My Bill got seven years!"— London j Scraps. Caddies. The term "caddies," or "cadies,'' or j "cawdies," is akin to "cad" and "cadet" and means messengers or unattached male servants. Caddies, in fact, were originally a class of men found in ev | ery Scotch town of any size who were j at the beck and call of everybody who wanted an odd job done; hence they I were at the beck and call of everybody i who was starting for a game of golf, and now they are employed solely by the golfer.

Among Ihe curiosities of wedding rings it is on record that in the early days rings were made of rushes. Per haps the most curious material used for rings required on an emergency is the case of one being hurriedly made j by cutting it out of the finger of a ; glove and another cut out of a visiting card. Many cases are on record of rings made of brass and iron being used, as also curtain rings and door j keys being pressed Into service at wed dings. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, APRIL 9, 1908 The Sun From a Balloon. At the height of two miles the sun shines with a fierce intensity unknown below, where tin? dust anil the dense: air scatter the rays, which, thus dif fused, lose their intensity while illu mining every nook and corner of our houses. At heights exceeding five miles this diffused light is mostly gone, and the sjm shines a glowing ball, sharply outlined in a sky of which the blue is so dark as to approach blackness. At the outer limits of the atmosphere the sun would appear a brilliant star of massive size among other stars, and If one stepped from its burning rays into shadow ho would enter Egyptian dark ness. At the height of a mile and a half we found it necessary to shelter our faces to prevent sunburn, although the air around us was but little warm er than that of the previous night, be ing about 45 degrees. As the afternoon wore on and the balloon began to cool and sink we were obliged to throw out much sand, casting it away a scoopful at a time, and just after sunset it was even necessary to empty two or three bags at once.— ll. 11. Clayton in Atlnn-1 tic. Too Significant. "These Spanish names in California puzzle me, but some of them have very interesting meanings," commented a guest of one of the hotels. "Yes?" said the manager. "They do. for a fact; they really do. I am keeping track of a list in my notebook. But the funny tiling was in Santa Barbara. Listen 1o this: '111(110 ; Muerto street, meaning dead Indian.' Ah, here it is, the one I was after, a street named 'Salsipuedes.' Weil, this street's the one that runs to the hospital up on the sloping hillside above the town. When they built the hospital, they were at a loss for a name. Some one suggested calling it after this street. And they did. Then they hap pened to look up the meaning of the word." "And what does it mean?" asked the manager. " 'Salsipuedes' was originally a street that wandered up and down through a series of ravines, and it means 'Get out if you can.' Good name for a jail, but not for a hospital."—San Franciso Chronicle. The Queen's Lesson. One of the ladies in waiting to the late Queen Victoria had a very bright little daughter about four years old and of whom the queen was very fond. The queen invited the child to have lunch with her. Of course the mother was highly pleased and charged the lit tle girl to be very careful about hei table manners and to be very polite to the queen. The little gßi came home in high glee, and the mother asked her all about the luncheon. "Were you a very polite little girl? And did you remem ber to do all I told you at the table?" asked the proud mamma. "Oh, yes; I was polite,'' said the little girl, "but the queen wasn't." "The queen wasn't!" said the mother. "Why, what did she do?" "She took her chicken bone up in her lingers, and I just shook my finger at her, like you did at me, and said, 'Pig gy, pigfry. piggy!' "—Philadelphia North American. Over the Eggs and Bacon. He scraped with his knife a bit of butter off the sporting page. "The writer of tjjat poem on flying is accused of plagiarism now," he said.

"No, no; he stole ideas. They say a woman wrote the poem years ago." "And now they bring it up against her, oh? Oh, these newspapers! But look at the mess you've made there with your coffee. I do wish you'd try to be a little more careful."—New Or leans Times-Democrat. Cure For Dipsomania. Flesh food is the chief cause of dip somania.

A curious dressmaKing custom was revealed in a case tried in London, and it would l>e interesting to Uuow if similar practices prevail elsewhere. A woman ordered a dress from a dress maker and then refused to pay the bill on the ground that the dress did not lit—a very common excuse unot;; those who have changed their minds. The bill was for SSO for material and making, and the dressmaker in de fending her charges explained that she had two establishments, one at Putney and the other on Manchester street. The dress in question had been made at Putney, but if it had been made at the Manchester street estab lishment she would have charged about $75, although there would have been no difference whatever in material or workmanship. Prices, she said, were regulated by locality, and, although Putney is socially irreproachable, it is not quite equal to Manchester street. The price of a dress is therefore in dicative of geographical location rather than of quality, and for this side light on feminine manners and customs we may be duly grateful.—Argonaut. Their Fears Realised. A noted English statistician was dis cussing in New York the statistics of marriage—marriage statistics are his specialty. "The last statistics," he said, "show us one pleasant change, one grand im provement. Aged men of wealth are no longer marrying beautiful, mercen ary young women as frequently as they used. In fact, these hideous mar riages are becoming in this country so rare that the newspapers don't hesi tate to comment very, forcibly upon them. 1 approve of these cruel com ments. They keep such mockeries of marriage down. In a little town in Herts last month," he said, r 'a million aire of seventy-nine years married a young and pretty milliner of twenty two. The local paper printed the next duy this editorial paragraph on the matter: " 'Six months ago, when Mr. Blank's venerable wife died, his children and grandchildren feared that lie would gj crazy over the sad bereavement. Thei" fears have now come true.'" Perjury Penalties. Perjury, besides being one of the oldest of offenses in the catalogue of crime, lias always been very severely punished. With the advance of civili zation, however, fiendish punishments have been replaced by more humane if still severe penalties. In the days c' the Itoman empire any one who com mitted perjury was thrown from a precipice, while the Greeks branded their false swearers. It is interesting to note that when the latter embraced the Christian religion the punishment was altered to that of having the tongue cut out, a sort of punishment which was considered to lit the crime in the early centuries. In the middl • ages some countries adopted the sys tem of giving the perjurer the punish ment for the crime he falsely accused another of. Thus if he swore a neigh bor had committed murder and the charge was disproved the perjurer would be sentenced to death, and the other penalties of the penal code were exacted for the particular crime al leged. A Well Kept Murder Secret. That the identity of the man who killed Campbell of Glenure on May 14, 1752, vhould still be handed down from father to sou a solemn trust among a few members of the Stewart clan is one of the curiosities of history: The mute trees know who fired that shot, But the secret well they're keeping. The highlanders refused it to Rob ert Louis Stevenson. Andrew Lang says that, like William of Deloraine. "he knows, but may not tell." Mr. | Mackay, the author of this most com plete and interesting accoftint of the crime and trial, leaves us a little doubt ful whether he is among the initiated. "I should be the last," he writes, "to make public a secret that has been so well kept. Its antiquity makes it sa cred."—Loudou Spectator. What He Would Do. An individual applied to the cab company for a situation. "Do you know how to drive?" "Yes, sir." "You know that you must be polite with all your passengers?" "Ah!" "And honest. For example, what would you do if you should find in your cab a pocketbook containing $25,- 000?" "Nothing at all. I should live on the income."—London Tit-Bits. Unselfish. "Why don't you goto work?" "Work?" rejoined Meandering Mike. "Look at de thousands of poor fellows dat is lookin' fur work an' feclin' mis erable widout it. Now, work ain't nec essary to me, an' I ain't goin' to butt in an' reach fur It merely fur de sake of haviu' somethin' to brag about."— Washington Star. Some Famous High Notes.
