CHEMICAL CO., Madison Place, Philadelphia, Pa. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 14, 1908 The Message on His Watch. In "Memories of Eight Parliaments" Sir. Lucy, the author, tells a story about Mr. Pyno, member for West Wa tei'foril, who, when under the crimes ! net a warrant was issued for his arrest in ISS7, shut himself up in liis Irish home, Lisfarney castle, had the trench es tilled with water, the drawbridge VP, took in supplies by a window in the battlements and thus lived for months, while he poked fun at the po licemen who were wandering about below with the warrant in their pock ets. "The originality of Mr. Pyne's mind," continues Mr. Lucy, "was further indi cated upon his watch. On its dial he had roughly engraved 'Pay no rent.' Whenever in troubled times any of his neighbors came to him for advice as to what they should do in the presence of a demand for rent, Mr. I'yne solemnly shook his head. 'I cannot,' lie said, 'express my views on the subject, for Mr. Balfour says they are illegal. But I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll show you what tirfe of day it is,' and, holding out his watch, tlx; perturbed tenant read upon it the admonitory legend, 'Pay no rent.'" Laws Against Beggars. Begging was a capital offense in England in the days of Henry VIII., when the laws were very severe against beggars, and under a statute passed in that reign any one caught begging for the first time, being nei ther aged nor iniirm, was whipped at the cart's tail. If caught a second time his ear was slit or bored through with a hot iron. If caught a third time lie suffered deatli as a felon unless some honest person having £lO in goods or !'• shillings in land or some householder approved by the justices would take the offender into his serv ice for two years, entering into a bond of £lO. So the law of England remain ed for sixty years. First enacted by Henry VIII., it continued unrepealed through the reigns of Edward and Mary. Reconsidered under Elizabeth, the same law was again formally pass ed, the two legislative houses thereby expressing their conviction that it was better for a man not to live at all than to live the life of a beggar. Tainted Diamonds. The lapidary was about to cut the tail off a tadpole shaped yellow dia mond. "The chances are," he said, "that this fellow will turn white from terror when I split him. If In; does his value will go up 200 per cent." The lapidary set his steel knife in position, lie prepared to strike on the knife's back the momentous blow. "Wish me luck," he said. And the hammer fell, the amputated tail dropped into the box underneath, and, 10, the yellow diamond that had been split was now quite white. "The yellow taint," the cutter ex plained, "was only in the tail. Yet the taint was reflected all through the stone, and this made it seem of a uni form yellow throughout. Now the taint is gone, and our yellow diamond is a pure white one. "The miracle happens fairly often." —Philadelphia Bulletin. Epigrams of an Indian. Chief Joseph of the Nez Perces was a truly remarkable Indian. He rarely spoke, but when he did his lips drop ped wisdom. Here are a few of the sayings attributed to him: "Look twice at a two faced man." "Cursed lie the hand that scalps the reputation of the dead." "The eye tells what the tongue would hide." "Fire water courage ends in trem bling fear." "Big name often stands on small legs." "Finest fur may cover toughest meat." "When you get the last word with an echo you may do so witli a squaw." Fish, Chicken and Veal. Raw pullet, raw veal and raw fish make the graveyard fat. This is hun dreds of years old. A New York ca terer (perhaps the most efficient in the city) said to me: "There are three im portant articles of food that must un der no circumstances be served under done. They are fish, chicken and veal. By chicken I mean all poultry of a do mestic nature. Ail game birds should lie rare. You want to lie a little care ful about 'lamb too. Give it plenty of cooking."—New York Press. Buttermilk. "Which is the cow that gives the buttermilk?" innocently asked the young lady from the city, who was in specting the herd with a critical eye. "Don't make yourself ridiculous," said the young lady who had been in r/ie country before and knew a thing or two. "Goats give buttermilk."— Springfield Journal. Few and Far Between. "If men really would 'vote as they j pray,'" remarked Good ley, "this would i truly lie a happy world." "Yes," replied Wise, "but in that case j you wouldn't get some men to the polls once in ten years."—Washington Star. Must Be Stylish. j "Why do you wear that, ridiculous hat?" he growled. "Do you really think it ridiculous?" she replied graciously. "How lovely of you! I was afraid it wasn't quite the style!"— Philadelphia Ledger. * Permanent Receiver. Patience I hear Will is going to marry that girl lie's been spending so much money on. Patrice—Yes. He's going to make her a permanent re ceiver.- Yonkeir Statesman. Revenge a wrong by forgiving it.— ! French Proverb. How a Hat Is Sized. C. writes that the size of a hat Is calculated on a curious principle. It j is the length plus the breadth divided by li. Thus a head 8 : ) i inches long and £r;i inches broad would require a hat size of 1-1 'j divided by 2, which is 7'4 —Gladstone's size. Your correspondent C. is perfectly right in ills description of the curious way in which the size of a hat is ob tained, writes G., but his sample di mensions are slightly misleading. Such an "oval" as inches by 5% inches would scarcely be met with twice in a lifetime. The normal difference be tween the length and width (technical ly called the "oval") is invariably through the gamut of sizes 1 inches. Thus an ordinary G% hat would meas ure 7'i, inches long and
