CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 14, 1909. Worst of All. Mr. Lane, Mr. Hobarl and Mr. Meek toad been off fishing Ihe day before. They had gone unexpectedly from the postofflce, where they met, and neither Mrs. Laue. Mrs. Hoburt nor Mrs. Meek had been informed of their where abouts until nightfall. "And it did beat all what poor luck we'd had!" said Mr. Lane when the tftrce friends met the next day. "I tried to explain to Sadie that we kep' staying in the hopes of fetching home something that would show why we'd stayed, but she said we'd acted like a parcel o' yearlings and it would lie one while before she'd have a hot apple pie for my dinner again and dumplings. She ran me uphill and down, I tell ye!" "Maria spoke of my clothes," said Mr. Uobart forlornly. "She pointed out the way the dampness had cockled that coat I had on. She said "twouldn't ever be the same again and if I knew of anybody that was going to spend summer days heating great irons and pressing out clothes for a man like me she didn't!" "Marthy never said a word," said Mr. Meek as the other two men turned to him, but as they remarked with one accord, "That's the kind of wife to have!" Mr. Meek looked much de pressed. "The only trouble is," he added, "she hasn't spoken yet, and I don't know when she will." She Drew the Line, Seeking redress for domestic troubles, a negro woman who resembled noth ing so much as she did the "before tak ing" half of an antifat remedy appear ed at court. "I's a wronged woman," she hissed in a givo-nie-bnek-those-papers voice. "Ah want redress." "What's the trouble?" Inquired the sympathetic judge. "It's 'bout mah ole man. He's done been caayin' on high wif a lot uv deese niggah gals, an' it's got so band twill Ah don' see him more'n once a week. Somcphin's got t' be done." The judge's eye held a crafty gleam. "You are seeking a divorce—a legal separation?" he questioned. "Go 'long, man! Divo'ce nothin'!

Mary Was Spoiled. •A doctor In one of the West Phila delphia children's homes tells the story of a woman who came to him one day in a most perturbed state of mind. She had taken home her daugh ter of five years the week previous, after a stay of a year In the home, and found she had an elephant on her hands. "Oh, sir," she said to the doc tor, "whatever can I do with Mary? You have made her far too grand for her own home. Why, the first day she was lmck she refused to lie dressed In the morning till she had a bath; then she would cat 110 breakfast whatever because she wanted fruit and some 'serious food' first, and, last of all, she put a saucer of water at her place at the table and she dips her fingers in that every few minutes. Sure, doctor, I don't know what I'll do," and the woman passed out. shaking her head as if the problem was certainly too much for her. —Philadelphia Record. The Poor Member. "Brother Lastly," said the spokes man, "I have an unpleasant duty to perform. There is a report that you have said that, one of the best and most worthy members of our congrega tion is unable to attend service often 011 account of not having good enough clot lies. We have come to ask the name of that member. We don't know of any such person, and a report of that kind Is likely to reflect upon us as a congregation that does not look after Its poor but worthy members. Will you tell me who it is?" "Certainly, brethren," replied the Rev. Mr. Lastly, with a brave attempt to lie cheerful, "it's my wife." Playing Goethe Three Ways. "I made a bad break today." "How was that.?" "There is a Chicago woman visiting Julia Dean, and while I was there she insisted upon talking about Gerty. Pretty soon I asked her if Gerty was her daughter. You should have seen her flare up! And then I somehow found out she meant Goaty." "Who?" "Oh, you know—the great German author."—Somervil le Hera Id. His Modest Request. A man once asked Thackeray to lend him 5 shillings, which lie would con vert into £20,000. Asked how. he ex plained that he knew a young woman with £20,000 who he knew would mar ry him if lie asked her, but lie had pawned his teeth and wanted 5 shil lings to redeem them in order to pro pose effectively.

The more accomplished way of using books at present is to serve them as some do lords -learn their titles and then boast of their acquaintance. -• Jonathan Swifl. Our lives are half spent before we know what living means.—New York Press. The Andromeda Nebula. Otic ol' the most astoni .liing objectf In the heavens. especially when photo graphed, is ihe groat nebula in tlit constellation Andromeda, which i- vis ible as a misty speck to the naked eye It lias long puzzled astronomers, be cause while its structure—a series ol vast rings surrounding a central mass —suggests a gaseous constitution. it« spectrum is continuous, resembling that of the sun. It has been suggested that it may be composed of stars con stituting a.universe external to ours Recent studies of its parallax, how ever, indicate that it is nearer to us than some of the well known stars such as Oapella, and Mr. J. Ellard Gore, the English astronomer, points out that if the Andromeda nebula were assumed to be an external uni verse, having a diameter comparable With that of the Milky way, its mass would be forty million million million times the mass of the sun. This is regarded as incredible and so may be taken as an additional argument in favor of the view that this nebula Is • member of our system.—Youth's Companion. A Curious Superstition. There Is a curious superstition com mon to Shetlanders and Cingalese How islanders so wide apart—some 15,000 miles—managed to adopt each other's views one does not know, but here Is the fact. The rice cultivators of Ceylon and the fishermen of Shet land resemble each other in one or two rather remarkable points. They re frain from speaking of the implements of their calling by their names. They call them something else, by names known only to themselves. The reason Is that If the evil spirit were to think that they were speaking of spades and rakes or of nets and hooks he would be tempted to damage them or even to appropriate them. The train of thought Is the same with both races: "There is an evil spirit always on the lookout for opportunities of doing mis chief. He even hears what we say. If we let him understand that we are talking about our implements and tools, we shall direct his attention to them and shall suggest to him a way of doing an injury. Therefore we will agree to call a boat or a spade by some fancy name known only to ourselves." Coronets. The coronet of a duke consists of al ternate crosses and leaves, the leaves being a representation of the leaves of the parsley plant. The princes of the blood royal also wear a similar crown. The state headgear of a marquis con sists of a diadem surrounded by flow ers and pearls placed alternately. An earl, however, has neither flowers nor leaves surmounting his circlet, but only points rising, each with a pearl ou the top. A viscount has neither flowers nor points, but only the plain circlet adorned with pearls, which, regardless of number, are placed on the crown it self. A baron has only six pearls on the golden border, not raised, to dis tinguish him from an earl, and the number of pearls render his diadem distinct from that of a viscount. A Bit of Blue Sky. Professor John Tyndall, who, with many great Kills, possessed a singular skill in devising and conducting beau tiful experimental illustrations, actual ly produced in 18(50 a bit of blue sky in the lecture room. In a glass tube three feet in length and three inches in diameter he exhausted the air until it was less than one-tenth the density of the atmosphere we breathe and repre sented the rarer air high overhead. Into this exhausted air he introduced nitrite of butyle vapor, which is ex tremely volatile. Then a strong beam of light in a room otherwise dark was passed through the mixture, and in the glass tube there glowed a beautiful blue cloud, rivaling In color the finest Italian sky. Here was blue sky brought down to earth. Acco-ding to History. A woman who belongs to a com munity called the Sisters of St. John the Baptist not long ago spent a month in a backwoods district. Shortly after her arrival she went to the local post oflice and inquired if any letters had come for Sister Bernardine. The rural postmaster looked bewildered. "Sister who?" he asked incredulously. "Sister Bernardine," repeated the lady, "a sister of St. . T ityi> the Bap tist." "I think not," he answered. Then, after some reflection, he added. "Say. ain't he been dead pretty near a hun dred years now?"— Harper's Weekly. Her Limitations. "These pianos look too cheap,'' said the young woman, her brows contract ing slightly. "Show me some of the best you've got." "Yes, ma'am," said the salesman. "May I ask how high you care togo?" "Me? Oh. I only goto O, but I want one with all the octaves just the ssaine."—Chicago Tribune. Let Him Try. "I fear 110 foe in shining armor." sang the man at a concert. "Don't you. old chap?" grumbled the bachelor In the front row. "Then yon try to open a sardine box with a pocket knife " One Secret.

It Is no on y matter for a violin mak ar to rival Ihe famous Stradivarius In struments, but tills an American maker did, and did so effectively that experts pronounced his violin a genuine Stradi varius. The successful man was the late George (Jemunder, a famous violin maker of New York. His remarkable ability as a preparer of violins was known to many a distinguished player, such as Ole Bull, Itemenyi and Wil lielinj. But he made, so runs the story, his greatest success at the Paris expo sition of Eiffel tower fame. To that ex hibition lie sent an imitation Stradiva rius and to test its merits had it placed on exhibition as the genuine article. A committee of experts carefully ex amined the instrument and pronounced it a Stradivarius. So far Mr. Gemun der's triumph was complete. But now came a difficulty. When he claimed that it was not an old violin, but a new one made by himself, the committee would not believe him. They declared he never made the instrument and pro nounced him an Impostor. He bad done his work too well. Can't Twiddle Their Thumbs. The gorilla and chimpanzee, which belong to the higher order of apes, have many points of resemblance to man, but there is one thing they can not do—that is, twiddle their thumbs. In the gorilla the thumb is short and does not reach much beyond the bot tom of the first joint of the forefinger. It is very much restricted in its move ments, and the animal can neither twiddle his thumbs nor turn them round so that the tips describe a circle. There are the same number of bones in the hand of a gorilla as in the hand of a man, but the thumbs of the monkey have 110 separate flexor or bending muscle. This is why a monkey always keeps the thunb 011 the same side as the fingers and aever bends it round any object that may be grasped. In the gorilla the web between the fingers extends to the second joint, the fingers taper to the tips, and there is a callos ity 011 the knuckles on which the ani mal rests when walking on all fours. Fickleness In Penmanship. Speaking of check signatures and forgery, a downtown paying teller re marked: "One of the most peculiar points in our business is one little com prehended by the public. I mean the embarrassment caused by the man whose signature Is seldom the same, or nearly so, two weeks in succession. "This fickleness is not intentional. It is in almost every case temperamen tal. The man guilty of it is generally nervous and not infrequently is greatly lacking in stability of character. At times you. as a layman, would hardly believe it possible that his signature on two different checks was the work of the same hand. "Of course we come to know these cases in time, and there are always certain characteristics in a person's handwriting which the expert can de tect and which go far to convince. Nevertheless the changeable signature is a nuisance and involves an added peril."—New York Globe. How Men and Women Face Death. How do men and women face death when the sentence is pronounced by the doctor? A medical man tells us his experience. Tell the man of higher type and greater intelligence, he says, that he Is facing death and he begins to fight, demands a consultation, talks about going to specialists and fights grimly to the finish. Tell a woman the same facts, and she lies back to await her fate. All women are fatal ists. 011 the other hand, tell a man that he lias one chance in a thousand to recover if he will undergo an opera tion, and lie will trust to his own strength and endurance rather than undergo the knife. The woman will choose the thousandth chance and sub mit to the operation with astounding calmness.—Woman's Life. Burning With Curiosity. A certain famous authoress who Is much worried by unknown correspond ents has taken her revenge in a some what eccentric fashion. She received a letter from a woman informing her that the writer had named her last baby after her and requesting the authoress' views on her choice. She received a thick envelope, heavily sealed, with this inscription: "Not to be opened till baby's thirtieth birthday." Now the mother is worrying herself day and night as to the contents of the envel ope. Lines by a Sick Poet.
