Whistler as a Letter Writer.
Early Mr. Whistler :is a letter writer
j became a personage to be reckoned
I with. Hi- pen was very frequently
| dipped in all, but it is n joy to rend
1 him, with his very delightful personal
' style. No one ever wrote quite like
him. Manierton, with whom he had
many passes, always to the critic's
I great discomfiture, once, in re vie win;;
! his "Symphony In While." stupidly
called attention to the fact that there
were many other tints In the picture
besides white. There was.he main
tained, the reddish hair of the woman,
for instance; her flesh color, a bit of
blue ribbon, and so on. Whistler re
sponded: "Bon Dieu, did this wise per
son expect white hair and chalked
faces? And does he then, in his as
tounding consequence, believe that a
symphony in F contains no other note,
but shall be a continued repetition of
FFF F? * * * Fool." And.of course,
the world Is familiar with Whistler's
studied insolence in ids reply to a com
munication in the New York Tribune
by Ilamerton, who complained that
Whistler refused to answer his letters.
Whistler referred to the writer as "a
Mr. Ilamerton." which made Ilamer
ton perfectly furious and so served
Whistler's ends.—Arthur Iloeber in
Forum.
Ancient Gkatca.
'l'lu' English ehr nl Irr lms recorded
that the youth of London in the twelfth
century understood the art of flying
over the ice like birds in the air, but
the origin of skating is far more an
cient An Icelandic saga relates how
the Norwegian hero Frithjof not only
traced verses upon the polished mirror,
but also cut the dear name of Inge
bord. Skates have been discovered
near Spandau, in Germany, which those
competent to express an opinion at
tribute to a period <»f li.OOO years ago.
These skates were made from bones
of horses, figured and perforated to at
tach to the sandal. Similar skates
have been found at Moorilelds, in Fins
bury, and like discoveries have been
made in I?erlin in the bed of the Spree.
These and similar discoveries, we
learn, enable the authorities to con
elude that the European ice area in
prehistoric times extended from Great
liritain to Finland and from Norway
to Hungary.—London Globe.
A Horse's Toe Nails.
Few persons realize that a horse's
hoof is really the same thing as the
toe nails of human beings or of ani
mals having toes. The horn of a hoof
grows just as a toe nail does. The
hoof grows more rapidly in unshod
horses than in those wearing shoes,
and it grows faster in horses which
are well groomed and well fed. But
on an average the horn grows about a
third of an Inch a month. Ilind hoofs
grow faster than fore hoofs. The toe
of the hoof being the longest part, it
takes longer for the horn to grow
down there than at the heel. For in
stance, the toe will grow entirely down
in from eleven to thirteen months,
while the heel will grow down In from
throe to five months. As the new horn
grows out any cracks or defects in the
old gradually work down to where
they can be cut off, just as with human
finger nails you can watch the progress
of a bruise from the root to the tip.—
London Answers.
Pretty Abscntminded.
A book about George Canning and
his friends contains among its anec
dotes two which deal with Hookham
Frere and the absentmindedness for
which he was noted. Frere married
Lady Errol, and "while they were en
gaged he took her into supper at a
ball. While they were talking lie
drank up the glass of wine he had
poured out for her and then took her
back supperless to the ballroom. After
the wedding he went straight from
the church to Mr. Murray, the pub
lisher, who asked him to stay to din
ner, to which he very nearly agreed,
remembering only just in time that
Lady Errol was waiting to start on
the honeymoon."
Scotch Profits.
"We have deckled," said the head of
a Glasgow firm, "to conduct our busi
ness in future on the profit sharing
principle. We shall begin at once on
the basis of last year's results."
"We are delighted to hear it," replied
the foreman, speaking for the men.
"May we ask what were the last
year's results?"
"We lost a thousand pounds," said
the employer, "and, therefore, on the
profit sharing principle, there will bo
a reduction of 10 per cent In your
wages."—Dundee Advertiser.
Stood Up For Him.
Dolan—So Casey was runnln' me

spects ye're no better than DolanT'—

Her Hands Full.
"Poor woman; she has scarcely tlm«
to eat and sleep."
"Nonsense! Why, she is rich and
has no duties'whatever."
"But she tells me she reads all the
latest novels."—Cleveland Leader.

Died at Port Allegany.
Last evening Mr. F. B. Metz, of this
place, received the sad intelligence
that his father, Mr. K. J. Metz. who
visited here part of the past winter,
died yesterday afternoon, at the resi
dence of his son, Chas. A. Metz, in his
841 h year. The funeral takes place on
Friday.
Two Fire Alarms.
On Sunday morning, about eleven
o'clock, the fire alarm called the de
partment out. The chimney on the
home of Ward Beaton and family on
Woodland Avenue was found to be on
fire. Not much damage was done.
A chimney burning out in the East
End, caused a lire alarm to be sent in
on Wednesday afternoon. The lire
was stopped before the hose companies
had time to get out.
Greatly Encouraged.
Mr. it. Kuehne reports to the Mer
cantile Appraiser the largest increase
in business over 19U8 and tells THE
PRESS that lie is very well pleased and
ready to boost Emporium as far as it
may be in his power. Mr. K. is popu
lar with our business iirms, as well as
the trading public, and don't knock,
lie does not allow dust to gather on his
f;oodo and simply pushes on the
market. Head his new ad this week
and every week in the PRESS.
Sorely Afflicted.
Mrs. Carrie Mack, of Philadelphia
who came here owing to the fatal ill
ness of her niece, Elsie Crandell, was
on Monday called to Dußois, to the
bedside of her brother, William Miller
who ia very low. This family certain
ly has more than its share of tribula
tions.
Fishing on Sunday.
Complaint comes to us that a lot of
men and boys were Ashing in Sterling
Run on Sunday last. Shame on you;
could you not wait until Monday aud
not be styled "trout hog." The Fish
Warden should be more watchful.
