IS. HOWARD & CO. ■> gij CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1909. Knew It Was a Canal. Some of these youngsters who are studying physiology have as hard a time as their parents figuring out the terms used in that profoundly interest ing subject. One little girl, according to her mentor, was asked the other day to name the three openings into the throat. For the benefit of the gen tle reader who may not have studied his physiology recently it may be stat ed that the openings are the epiglottis, the esophagus and the alimentary ca nal. The little girl had tried awfully hard to remember tl> s<- names because she had a hunch that the teacher would ask her t<> give them. She started bravHy. "The epiglottis," she: began anil hesi tated. "liight you are." encouraged the t aeher. "What then?" "The u 111- alt sarcophagus?" she in quired a little dubiously. "You mean esophagus, my dear," suggested the teacher. "And the third?" "The ICrie canal!" announced the lit tro girl confidently and triumphantly.— Louisville Courier-Journal. The Bucket Shop. "Bucket shops"—a name now use.l to denote small "outside" stockbrokers or financiers u<>t in membership with the Stock Exchange- were so called because when they first started in Chicago the only commodity dealt in by small speculators to any extc.it was wheat. The legitimate dealers would not handle an order for less than 5.000 bushels, anil then a lot of places sprung up where men of lim ited capital could speculate with vi '.y si' all sittii . : ~il these men were sp" 1; a of contemptuously as buying a. ■' selling \\ ileat y the bucketful; he> e : ho; where a small businf'-s was cottduct d i i grain i>n a margin cam-- to bo kuown as bucket : hops. Tl; term wa • finally 1 .tended to cover ; brokerugo oflicc-s where small lots of either grain or stock were bought and sold, and it was applied particularly to thoso places where both seller and buyer did not more than "gamble" on the li e and fall of stocks. Bows on Men's Hats. Why is it that a man's hat has a baud, and wliy is it this band lias a bow invariably ou the left side? The answer is that there was a time when a piece of cloth adjusted to the head and tied with a band of other material served for a headpiece. The reason the bow was always placed on the left side had Its origin in the fact that in wielding a sword—an ac complishment possessed by nearly ev ery one of consequence at one period of the world's history—the bow or rosette if placed on the right side would have been in the way. Its pres ent day utility is that it keeps most men from wearing their hats hind side before, and. although with most hats that would not matter, with most heads ii does. Chicago Itecord-lierald. On the Moon. The question "Could a man live on tho moon?" has been put to an emi nent astronomer, who replied: "I am afraid not. A man transplanted to the moon would ilnd himself the lone in habitant <>f a perfectly lifeless orb in which eternal silence reigns, lie would have to manage without air, water or fire. He would not need to put windows In his house, for there is no wind. 110 rain, no dust, upon the moon, it has been truly and practical ly observed that the moon is apparent ly abandoned to death, nourishing no inhabitants, producing nothing resem bling trees, flowers or beautiful things of any kind—useless. In short, except as a mass of extinct volcanic rubbish, which drags the sea into tides and re flects the sunbeams in moonlight." The Dean's Retort. One Sunday morning at Caunton church Dean Hole noticed a tipsy man in the congregation. He bore his pres ence until It was no longer possible and then eauie to a halt with tti" question, "Are you lit to remain in God's house?" The man got up unsteadily and was helped to tho door. "James," said Hole after the service was over, "what did you do with him?" The useful parishioner replied, "I put him 011 a tombstone, sir." The indignant vicar's retort was, "Couldn't you have put him under it?" —London Mail. Names In Politics. "I want to make a name for myself in politics," said the ambitious youth.

The difference between the play bouse in which we see a drama of Bronson Howard's today and the play house in which Sheridan's comedies were originally acted is greater than the difference between Sheridan's lirury Lane and the house for which Congreve wrote and in which Better ton acted. And that restoration play house was very unlike the Elizabethan theater for which Shakespeare wrote and In which Uurbnge acted. Even more apparent is the difference be twec!> the theater of I >iotiysius at Alliens and the Itoniau theater at Orange. These theaters are sharply di-tluguisbod from one another by their size, by their shape, by their methods of illumination, by the ab sence or pr'-sence of real scenery ami by the arrangement of the seats IVr the spectators, and as wo study these successive changes we are confirmed in the conviction that these physical conditions must have exerted a pow erful Influence upon the dramatists who followed one another down the centuries.—Brander Matthews in Cen tury. Wisdom In Fable. Among the best tilings that have ever been written are the Aesop's fa illes. which date back to tho sixth cen tury B. C. They present human na ture as it always has been, is and probably always will be. Take, for example, the story of"The l-'ox With out. a Tail:" "A fox was once caught. In a trap by Ills tail and in order to get free was ohlUitl to leave it behind. He knew that 'tis fellows would make fun of his tailless oialitioa. so he made up his mil: ; to ita-u ■<• them all to part will their t.-:i: .

When he sat down a sly old fox rose and, waving his brush, said, with a sneer, that it' be had lost his t-iil lie would I o convince!l by the last speaker's ar guments, but until such an accident occurred he fully Intended to vote in favor of tails." Peculiar Superstitions. The people of Kulu arc* extremely superstitious and go in extensively for demonolatry. Many trees are held to be sacred and have tiny temples dedi cated to them. The demons nt*.- popu larly supposed to live at the tops of trees, and if a tree falls iu such a way that it is possible to pass under it, as is often the case on the mountain sides, every man before going beneath the trunk will place on it a stick or stone to propitiate its guardian spirit. Cer tain streams are also sacred, an.* no one is allowed to wash dirty clotlns in them. One year some strangers came into the vallej and happened t • pollute the Water of a river in this manner. It chain ed to no a year oi extraordinary rainfall, and the pen pie Implicitly believe that the ex cessive rain was sent by the outraged "dootu" of the stream as punishment. Wide World Magazine.

I)o you know 1 used to think she cured nothing about it." "Why the change?" "1 don't know. That's the funny part of it. I can't imagine what has changed her. A few nights ago I went home, tired most to death, and during the evening I casually remark ed: 'lole, my business is getting most too much for me to handle. I am thinking of employing a nice, steady stenographer and typewriter. Don't you think it would be a good idea?" From that moment the good little wo man has been extremely anxious to assist me and make my lot easier in every way. I suppose it's her natural ly sympathetic nature. It must be."— Boston Herald. A Brilliant Judge. Steady Baker was at one time mayor of Folkestone, England. Once a boy was brought before him for stealing gooseberries, and Steady, aware of the importance of the case, turned over tho pages of the alphabetically arrang ed "Burn's Justice" for a precedent. Failing to find one, he turned to the culprit. "My lad," said be, "it's lucky for you that you were not brought here for stealing n goose instead of for steal lug gooseberries. There is a statute against stealing geese, but I can't find anything about gooseberries In all •Burn," so let the prisoner be discharg ed, for I suppose It is 110 offense." The Way Down. They had been making hay while the sun shone, and when they had finished a high haystack the farmer's boy shouted from the top. "Say, mis ter, how am I goin' to get down?" The farmer considered the problem and finally solved It: "Oh. jest shet yer eyes an' wail round a bit!"— Everybody's. Notwithstanding. "Here, bold my horse a minute, will you ?" "Sir!
