HOWARD & CO. S CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1909. Nothing Was the Matter. "A newsboy l knew," said a yachts man, "took to the sea. lie became cabin boy on a tramp collier. lie was a gcxid boy, but— "Once, when our white squadron was nt Newport, this collier steamed in her slow way shoreward with her ensign unskle down, the signal of dis tress—distress of the direst. Instantly a pretty sight was to be seen. Every warship in the fleet lowered a lifeboat, and all of those beautiful, snowy boats, manned by jacklea in spotless white duck, raced for the grimy old collier at breakneck speed—a pretty sight in deed. The captain of the collier stood on the bridge. lie waved his hat, and the crews pulled all the faster. As they drew close they heard the man's cries. "'Come on! l'ull! Get down to it!' he roared, dancing about wildly. "'What's the matter, captain?' the iirst officer to reach the collier asked breathlessly. " 'Why, nothing's the matter,' the captain answered in a surprised voice. " 'Then why's your ensign upside flown?' "Tile captain looked aloft, then frowned. " 'lt's that boy Ilank again,' said he. 'And here I thought it was a regatta.* " Light and Dark Cigars. A striking example of the ordinary smoker's ignorance on the subject of smokes is the popular superstition that a dark looking cigar is stronger than a lighter colored one. Some strong cigars have dark wrappers, but the dark wrapper does not by any means Indi cate a strong cigar. Dark, gummy to bacco, if thoroughly cured, is the mild est form. Of course if dark tobacco is not thoroughly cured it will be strong, but so will light tobacco, for that mat ter. Any cigar man will bet you that the dark color is usually, though not always, a sign of a ripe, well cured leaf, which is therefore milder nine times out of ten than the lighter hued leaf. Rut when it is kno\Vn that every manufacturer makes both dark and light cigars and that he uses exactly the same blend of filler in both and that the wrapper only constitutes a small fractional part of the cigar it is clearly seen that the shade of the wrapper has little to do with the strength of the cigar. Ask the dealer for a strong cigar. lie hands out a dark one, and the imagination doe' the rest.—Harper's Weekly. How Spiders Undress. It is an interesting sight indeed to watch a spider change its skin and one that will well repay any one for the time taken up by waiting for the little known—generally speaking event to take place. When preparing for the change the spider stops eating for several days and makes ills pre liminary arrangements by fastening himself by a short thread of web to one of the main lines of his snare, this to hold him firmly while he proceeds to undress. First the skin cracks all round the thorax, being held only by tlii- fore part. Next the lower part of tho body is uncovered, and then comes the struggle to free the legs. lie works and kicks vigorously, seeming to have a very hard time of it. Fif teen minutes of continued persever ance, however, brings him out of his old dress, the struggle causing him to appear limp and lifeless for some time after it is finished. Just Pleasantness. Perhaps just pleasantness has not a very heroic sound, but the human heart that, knowing its own bitterness, can yet carry itself cheerfully is not without heroism. Indeed, if that hu man heart does no more than hold its tongue about its own aches and pains it has a certain moral value that the world cannot afford to lose. "Pleas antness" does not sound as well as self sacrifice or wisdom or spiritual ity, but it may include all these great words. And certainly just to start one's husband out to his work cheer ily, to make the hobbledehoy of a son feel a gentler and sweeter sentiment toward women because of his own mother's sound, sweet gayety and strength, to help one's servants to put good humor and friendliness into their services—these things make for right eousness in the world.—Margaret De land. It Didn't Work Out Just Right. I saw the best of intentions become a veritable boomerang on Broadway the other night. A jjolicemau had ar rested for sorao small disturbance two well dressed men who had evidently had too much, but were facing the in evitable trip to the station without any further fuss. A friend saw their plight and rushed up. ''Officer," lie piped in a peculiarly ef feminate voice, "I beg that you will not arrest these men. Why, they are no more drunk than I am." "Oh, very well," said the cop. "I'll take you too." And he did.—New York Telegraph. Kitchen Talk. "I suppose," said the Lemon to the Nutmeg, "that you were very much hurt when the cook announced that she did not intend to use you for flavor ing the pudding." "On the contrary," retorted the Nut meg, "It was a grate relief."—Balti more American. Cabbage Leaves. Wlgg—What kind of cigars does Closefist smoke?

Quintan, a French physi ologist, who several years ago wrote a paper to show that the colorless fluid in which tin- red corpuscles of our blood float and which is called the "blood serum" is the same fluid as that which constituted the primeval sea. The earliest forms of life which float ed in the primeval sea were such that the cells and tissues of which they were constituted were always bathed by tills primeval fluid. When silica became a constituent of tin- sea tbest animals may have coated themselves with slllclous coverings, but many ol their cells were still bathed by the fluid, and some of them as iliey passed from the sea to the land may have closed up their alimentary canals, so that a distinction arose between their internal organs and their outer super ficies, but still, for the g"< <t of their cells, they still bathed them in the saline fluid. To do so more effectively they took the saline fluid ashore with them in tlie form of a blood serum, and it is this blood serum which we carry about with us today, the most evident relic of the age when we were marine animals. German Dialect In Wisconsin. It is two German women who are speaking in the presence of an Irish woman. "Th' tap o' th' niorniii' t' ye, Mis' Brettschueider. "i'is glad I am t' see th' likes a 1 ye. Is:- yer daughther Gretcheu goiu t' the Ilill th' morrow?" "Faith an' she is. Ve:i ine bye Ilein rlch can gel th' bay haarse away from th' plowin' i fink I'll go niesilf, be dad." This is not travesty. It i« a report of German dialect. The manner of speech came about naturally enough. When the Germans arrived here i.i full force tho country was already settled, large ly by Yankees and Irish, and the Ger man had to buy his farm here or there. Thus a number of them found them selves located in tlie town of Erin, where, of course, they learned the lan guage of the country. And I leave it to my fellow citizens in Wisconsin whether a German cannot speak as broad and rich a brogue as any son of Erin.—Charles D. Stewart In Atlantic. First Use of Iron. As a result of his interesting investi gations, Dr. lUdgeway concludes that the smelting of iron originated in central Europe, and especially in the region known as Noricum, equivalent to modern Austria and Bavaria. In Egypt it can be traced back to tiie ninth century 11. and in Libya to about -150 B. C. First mention of its use in China goes back to 400 B. C., while in Uganda it is said to have been in use only some five or six centuries. The above date for the first use of iron in Egypt refers to the metal ob tained by smelting. The use of na-' tive iron in the form of meteorites dates back to remote antiquity. The weapons made from those wore ob tained, like flint implements, by chip ping. And it is interesting to remem ber that recent investigations have shown that the iron of many meteor ites is a sort of natural steel. Glc! English Fine. In the past if one Englishman called another a liar there was something to pay. Tho seventeenth century mayor, sheriff and city grandees generally were keen on this point of etiquette. The direct accusation cost lis. fid. ($2.7(3); the subtle hint Cs. Bd. (sl.ooi. And I hero was a reduction on repeti tions. Swearing, too, was promptly sup pressed. In 1050 a law was passed laying down the penalty for a first offense. The fines were graduated. That for a lord was 30 shillings ($7.20 i, for an esquire 10 shillings ($2.40), while all "inferior persons" could have a "few words" for Bs. 4d. (80 cents). Bolivia. Bolivia is famous for its silvor, but also possesses considerable quantities of gold, which, however, cannot be ' extracted without great expense. In tho seventeenth century an Indian near the town of La Paz found a mass of native gold, supposed to have been detached from the neighboring moun tain by lightning. Bolivia is, on the whole, hi a backward condition, polit ical changes and internal conflicts having hindered the development of its natural wealth. Not So Very Clever. "Bilkins' wife found some poker j chips in bis pocket." "Yes?" "Well, Bilkins told her they were j cough lozenges." "Clever of Bilkins, wasn't it?" "Very. She swallowed two and very nearly died."

"It is astonishing" remarked a well i known authority on diseases of the skin, how such a large number of peo ple, especially ladies are by attractive- j ly written advertisements, induced to purchase some one of the many beauty i Creams now on the market, not know ing of course, that they mostly contain oily or greesy substances that clog the pores of the skin and are, for that rea son, the very worst thing that they could possibly use. Mv treatment of Pimples, Blackheads, Blotches and all eruptions of the skin, are as follows, and has invariably proved very sue- j cessful: Wash the face carefully every j That Lame Back Means Kidney Disease And to Relieve the Lame and Aching Back, You Must First Relieve the Kidneys There is no question about that at all—for the lame and aching back is caused by a diseased con dition of the kidneys and bladder. It is only common sense, any way —that you must cure a condition by removing the cause of the con dition. And lame and aching back are not by any means the only symptoms of derangement of the kidneys and bladder. There are a multitude of well-known and un mistakable indications of a more or less dangerous condition. Some of these are, for instance: Extreme and unnatural lassitude and weari ness, nervous irritability, heart ir regularity, "nerves on edge," sleep lessness and inability to secure rest, scalding sensation and sedi ment in the urine, inflammation of the bladder and passages, etc. DeWitt's Kidney and Bladder Pills are an exceptionally meritori ous remedy for any and all affec tions or diseased conditions of these organs. These Pills operate directly and promptly—and their beneficial results are at once felt. They regulate, purify, and effec tually heal and restore the kid neys, bladder and liver, to perfect and healthy condition—even in some of the most, advanced cases.
