A Misnamed island.
The island of Madagascar is mis
named. It should bo called St. Lorenz
island. Marco I'olo in his work on
Africa named a stretch of land on the
east coast, south of the equator, Mada
gascar. Some time after this Martin
Bclliaim of Nuremberg prepared a
chart of Africa, using Marco Polo's
works as a guide, but misunderstood
the report on Madagascar, thinking It
meant an island. lie thereupon delib
erately added an island to the east
coast. This imaginary island was
mapped on the charts of the geogra
phers of the fifteenth and sixteenth
centuries. In 150(5 the Portuguese sea
captain, Fernando Svarez, discovered
the real island of Madagascar and
gave it tlie name of St. Lorenz, and
for a time thereafter two Islands found
their place on the charts. In 1531 it
was known that there was really only
one island, and in accordance with
this discovery the original name of
Madagascar was retained, and the
other name was dropped.
Tlie Way of Heather.
Where Sonncrbo township touches
the boundaries of Ualland there Is a
sandy heath which is so farreaching
that he who stands upon one edge of
it cannot look across to the *>ther.
Nothing except heather grows on the
heath, and it wouldn't be easy to coax
other growths to thrive there. To
start with, one would have to uproot
the heather, for it is thus with heather:
Although it lias only a little shrunken
root, small shrunken branches and
dry, shrunken leaves, it fancies that
it's a tree. Therefore it acts just like
real trees—spreads itself out iu forest
fashion over wide areas, holds together
faithfully and causes all foreign
growths that wish to crowd in upon
its territory to die out.—"Adventures
of Nils," Translated From the Swedish
of Solum Lagorlof by Velina Swan
ston Howard.
Protecting Her Cake.
The woman ■w ho had charge of a cer

cheeked youngster, dressed in his best

fully laid a huge slice of iced cake on
the counter.
"With my sister the bride's compli
ments, and will you please eat as much
as you can?" ho said.
The postmistress smiled delightedly.
"How very kind of the bride to re
member me!" she cried. "Did she
know of my weakness for wedding
cake?"
"She did," answered the youngster
coldly, "and she thought she'd send yer
a bit of it this afternoon, just to take
the edge off yer appetite before she
posted any boxes off to her friends!"—

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, APRIL 16 1908
Why He Was Anxious.
Buloz, the editor of the Revue de*
Deux Mondes, once had at his country
house iu Savoy a numerous company
of literary people, one of whom was
Victor Cherbullez. Cherbullez contrib
uted regularly every other year it novel
to the columns of the Itevue, and a
story of his was at that time running
in the periodical. Tile guests had been
out for a walk ami had amused them
selves wiili gathering mushrooms,
which were cooked for dinner. As the
company were sitting down, it occur
red to one of the party that undoubt
edly some of the people who had tak
en part in gathering the mushrooms
knew nothing about them and that
there might be poisonous fungi in the
collection.
This reflection so affected the com
pany that all the people present, with
the exception of Cherbullez, declined
to partake of the dish. He alone at
tacked it with gusto.
Thereupon Buloz showed sudden and
intense alarm.
"Cherbullez! Cherbullez! What are
you about?" he exclaimed. "Remem
ber that you haven't finished jour
story in the Itevue!"
Greatly to his relief, the mushrooms
turned out to be innocuous, and the
story was finished.
It Was a NeVt "Team" to Him.
Ileinrich Conried told the following
story once when chatting of his ex
perience as an operatic director: "It
happened in Chicago," said he."l
went there to superintend our first sea
son in Chicago. I got (here early in
the afternoon. As 1 was registering
at the Auditorium a young, a very
young, newspaper man came up and
talked to me. He begged for an inter
view. i fold lilui I had arranged to see
the press at 5. Tluit did not satisfy
him. lie was 011 an afternoon paper.
It Mould be a feather in his cap if be
could scoop the town. 'Very well,'
said I to hiiu. "I shall give you an in
terview. but it will have to be while
I am taking uiy bath.' lie seemed an
intelligent and earnest young man, and
I was willing to do that much for him.
"I turned 011 the water and divested
myself of my coat, and tho interview
preceded.
" 'What do you open with?' said he.
"'I open with "Tristan uud Isolde,"
I answered.
"'Have they ever been here lief ore?'
he queried."
Iron Eaters.
"The first time I ever swallowed a
tack," said a carpet layer, "I jumped
to my feet and tremulously asked the
way to the hospital.
" "What's the matter?' my mate, an
old baud, asked.
" 'l've swallowed a tack,' said I.
'Good gracious, what will become of
me?'
"The old hand sat back on the car
pet he was laying and laughed.
" 'SVhy, kid,' said he, "it's nothing to
swallow a tack. Every professional
carpet layer swallows half a dozen or
so daily. It's a thing that causes 110
inconvenience. If it did, I'd know it.
I bet I've swallowed a hundredweight
of tacks in my life.'
"And I'm sure," the carpet layer con
cluded. "my mate was telling the
truth, for since then I've swallowed
half a hundredweight myself." lie
gulped. "Ilaug it."he said; "there
goes one now!"— New York I'ress.
Aroused His Wrath.
"Were you ever done in oil?" ven
tured the wandering portrait painter.
The old farmer almost leaped out of
his boots.
"Was 1 ever done in oil?" he roared.
"Well, I should say so! A long legged,
fox eared individual that looked some
thing like you came past here last
week and sold me a bottle of what was
supposed to be genuine olive oil to eat
on lettuce. When I poured it on the
lettuce it turned out to be sewing ma
chine oil, and, by heck, if I thought
that you"—

Haiti's Legion of Honor.
It is not generally known that the
famous order of the Legion of Honor
was adopted at Haiti in 1840. When
Soulouque became emperor under the
name of Faustin 1., he instituted an
order in imitation of that which had
been established by Napoleon in 1802.
Statues, ribbons and insignia were pre
cisely identical, and since the sover
eign of Haiti distributed his honors to
all and sundry with lavish hand the
French government was considerably
embarrassed. The death of Soulouque
ended the difficulty.—Paris (iaulois.
A Poor Remedy.
Speaking of a certain measure under
Hscusslon in the senate, a well known
congressman said: "It does not meet
the situation at all and will not reme
dy conditions. It reminds me of the
wife of a .voting blacksmith of Was'i
ington. 'Did you sew that button 011
my coat?' tills blacksmith asked his
wife otu> morning. 'No, dear,' the wife
answered. 'I couldn't find the button,
but I sewed up the buttonhole, so it's
ail right.'"

A Story of Henry Clay.
The following anecdote of Henry
Clay was told by one of his personal
friends:
While making the journey to Wash
ington on the National road, just after
his nomination as candidate for the
presidency, he was traveling one
stormy night, wrapped up in a huge
cloak, 011 the back seat of the stage
coach when two passengers entered.
They were Keutuckians, like himself.
He fell asleep and when he awoke
found them discussing ills chances in
the coming campaign.
"What did Harry Clay go into poli
tics for?" said one. "He had a good
bit of land; he had a keen eye for
stock. If he had stuck to stock raising
he'd have been worth his fifty thou
sand. But now he doesn't own a dol
lar."
"And,"the great Keutuekiun used to
add, "the worst of it was, every word
of It was true!"
It was characteristic of the man that
at the next stopping place he hurried
away and took another coach lest his
critics should recognize him and be
mortified at their unintentional rude
ness.
Impertinent Lady Holland.
In "A Family Chronicle," n book of
gossip, is a story about the fearful
and wonderful Lady Holland which is
comparatively unhackneyed.
She was at Lord Radnor's, and they
could not get rid of her. Lord Radnor
thought of unrooting the house, but
tried first what prayers of a Sunday
evening would do. She was highly
pleased (very gracious, Lady Morley
said, because she knew they longed
to get rid of her) and said she would
go down for prayers. Whether she
was ill I do not know, but it seems
she had to be carried downstairs and
wrapped herself up in cloaks, etc. 111
the midst she called out for more
cloaks, which were brought her. When
she went up to the drawing room again
she said to Lord Radnor (he hav
ing finished with the Lord's Prayer): "I
liked that very much, that last prayer
you read. I approve of it. It is a
very nice one. Pray, whose is it?"
Did any one every hear such a thing?
I cannot imagine why people should
bear her impertinence.
Eight Points of the Law.
A correspondent signing himself "So
and-so" overheard soi.».e men—"evi
dently lawyers," lie says—talking over
a case recently when some such ex
pression as this reached iiis ears:
"Well, he couldn't help winning. He
had the eight points of the law in his
favor."
Ever since he heard this "So-and-so"
has been wondering what were the
eight points referred to, and he asks
me if I can enlighten him 011 the sub
ject.
The eight points of the law, "So-and
so." are these: First, a good cause;
second, a good purse; third, an honest
and skillful solicitor; fourth, good evi
dence; fifth, able counsel; sixth, 1111 up
right judge; seventh, an intelligent
jury; eighth, good luck.
It is well understood in forensic cir
cles that if you have all these iu your
favor you stand a sporting chance of
winning your case. But, on the other
hand, of course you may lose.—London
Standard.
Bonaparte as a Deadhead.
Frederic Febvre publishes in the
Paris Gaulois an interesting docu
ment preserved in the archives of the
Theatre Francais. It runs as follows:
"Pass tho citizen Bonaparte to this
evening's performance of 'Manilus.'—
Talma."
This shows, of course, that the Em
peror Napoleon when he wjis only a
lieutenant of artillery was very glad
of "orders" for the theater. M. Febvre
adds a story which he heard from Tal
ma's sou to the effect that the future
ruler of France used to lie in wait for
the tragedian in the galleries of the
Palais Royal and that the tragedian
used often to whisper to his compan
ion: "The other way, if you don't
mind. 1 see Bonaparte coming, and
I'm afraid he'll ask me for seats."
Evidence Against Him.
"I am proud to say," said the man
with the loud voice, "that I have never
made a serious mistake in my life."
"But you are mistaken," said the
mild mannered man with the scholarly
stoop. "You have made one very seri
ous mistake."
"I'd like to know where you get your
authority for saying so."
"Your declaration is evidence that
you have never tried to see yourself as
others see you."—Exchange.
