CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JULY 3 0, 1908.
The Rain Was Hot.
Mrs. Goitt liail been waiting for n
week or mure to give her rear porch a
good scrubbing, I nit she was always
afraid of incurring die keen displeas
ure of the people in the flat below,
who, it seemed, were never off their
1 porch and who would gel all the drip
pings of her scrubbing operation.
When it rained, though, Mrs. Goitt
saw what she thought was her oppor
j tunity. The people down below surely
would not be out 011 the porch during
the rainstorm, and all the water that
dripped down would be attributed to
the rain. She tilled a bucket with boil
ing hot water, threw in a sallow cake
of soap and got busy.
I*ii' she had reckoned wrong, for the
people down below were on their porch
enjoying the shower. In a minute Mrs.
Goitt heard a woman's voice below
saying: "Why, Martha, the rain's coin
in?: through from the porch above. The
' roof must leak."
And then Martha observed, with a
gasp: "Yes. And, oh, heavens, had you
noticed that the rain is hot? Did you
ever hear of such a thing? Aren't ter
rible things happening? All these aw
ful murders, and now hot rain! But it's
the Lord's doings, and we must sub
mit."—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Ecrly Lamps and Wicks.
It would be hazardous to conjecture
what the first wick consisted of, but
hen we come to consider llie Iron
■ lamp, or "crusie," we know that the
wick commonly used was the pith of
the rush, which was gathered and !
| partially stripped of Its outer green j
I covering, cut Into proper lengths, dried I
| a:rl Ji"d up into bundles ready for use. I
The iron I.rup was hammered out of
| one piece of iron in a stone mold. This
was usual! dme by the blacksmith,
and the m< v ■ are still to be seen in
I museums, in the hands of private col
j lectors and iid doubt at some of the
' country blacksmiths' shops. They are
of one uniform shape, with some slight
varieties. The lamp consists <if two
cups, one suspended above and inside
the other. The suspender is so fixed
and notched as to enable the upper
cup. which holds the oil and wick, to
be shifted to keep the oil constantly in
contact with the wick. The lower cup
catches the drip of the oil, which can
be easily replaced in tic upper cup by
lilting it olf until tin* oil is poured into j
It- Ihe upper cup litis sometimes a j
movable lid. -Chambers' Journal.
Carnegie's First lnvcr*ment.
It was due to Thomas A. Scolt that '
Andrew < arnegie made his lirst invest
ment, ten shares of stock in the Adams
Express company, valued at SSOO. This
he did with considerable trepidation,
lie had labored hard for the money he
had saved up while he had worked art
a telegrapher. It Is part of railroad
history how he later fell in with the
inventor of the sleeping car, saw the
enormous advantages which that man
ner of travel held out to passengers
and promoters and how he interested
others in the invention of Mr. "Wood
ruff. This occurred shortly after his
return from Washington, when the
problems of transportation were still
uppermost in his mind. Tie"was now
on the road to success and wealth as
he then pictured earthly possessions.
The Pennsylvania oil fields yielded
large returns when Carnegie and oth
| ers turned their energies in the direc- j
. Hon of the newly discovered territory. :

Reading a Horse's Face.
Every horse carries an index to his
temper and intelligence in his face.
The teachable, tractable animal is
broad and flat between the eyes; the
bonv ridge of hi- face dishes slightly
from thi* point where the face narrows
toward the nostrils, ilis ears are well
set, sensitive and far apart, with a
well defined ridge of bone extending
across the top of the head between
them. Always feel for this ridge in
judging a horse. The eye should be
large, clear and bright, with a prom
inent ridge of bone along the inner and
upper edge of the socket.—London An

Where Swallows Go.
The swallows all spend the winter in
Central America and the south part of
Mexico. Tliey appear in the southern
states as early as the middle of Feb
ruary. but seldom get as far north as
New England until the month of May.
The robins winter in the southern
states and in northern Mexico. They
are to lie seen in flocks the winter
through in the gulf states.— Exchange.

How Wyckoff Was Revealed.
The late Professor Walter A. Wyclc
off of Princeton had a passion foi
knowledge at first hand and will be
best remembered as the college pro
fessor who studied labor conditions bv
becoming himself a laborer. Starting
in 1891 in Connecticut with no inonej
i and with a suit of overalls, he worked
j his way through nearly every state ii
Hie Union after the fashion of the
1 floating laborers of this country, s<
many of whom ultimately become
tramps. Wherever there was a possi
bility of work be applied for it, whetli
or it were digging ditches, wrecking
houses or factory work, ror awhile
his incognito usually worked well, but
as soon as bis fellow laborers saw hint
at table they nt once began to suspect
him. Ilis manner of eating, his waj
of holding knife and fork, at once pel
them speculating. Once he was sect
drinking tea at a fellow laborer's
house 111 Chicago. He lifted the saucei
from the table, held it in his hand and
forgot himself -o far as to drink with
out noise. "I knowed then," his host
afterward said, "that he was a swell !

The Most Beautiful Flag.
In a village school in the Acadia:- )
region of .Nova Scotia the young lady |
teacher, who was from a portion of I
Canada more remote from the United '
States than the section she'was in
was 011 one occasion preparing for a
little celebration of empire day. Call
ing one of the boys, she gave him ;
coin and said to him:
"Take tills, please, and go out and I
get us the prettiest Hag you can find."
She had 110 idea, of course, of hi.-'
procuring anything else than a British
flag, and her astonishment was great |
therefore, when the boy came back 1
with a small edition of the stars all <'
stripes.
"What have you there?" the teachei I
asked sharply. "Did you suppose I !
sent you for anything else than the
flag of your country?"
"Why," answered the boy, "you told
me to get the prettiest flag I could find, J
and there was nothing else so pretty as
this: - ' ' I

'"Why, my dear." exclaimed the good
friend on iinding Mrs. Xewed in flood*
of tears, "what is the matter?"
Tlie young wife wiped her eyes and
tried to compose herself and be in
humanly calm.
"Well." she began, with folded
hands, "yon know John is away for a
week."
"Yes. dear,".helped (lie lady friend.
"Well, he writes to me regularly,

Why They Don't Desert.
"Instances of desertion from the
army in Mexico are very rare and for
the best of reasons," said Senor .lose
de Minaldez of Xueva I .eon.
"The reason lies in the almost sure
capture of the fugitive and the certain
ty that lie will get not one but numer
ous floggings on his bare back. These
lashings are done in the presence of
Ihe comrades of the deserter, and when
the men see how great is the suffering
of tile miserable wretch who tried in
vain to quit his military obligations
they an forced to conclude that it is
better to stick to the army than to un
dergo such a terrible ordeal."—Haiti i
