That the lives of Mrs. Henry Houtz and granddaughter Martha Houtz were not crushed out Tuesday morn- ing was almost miraculous.

Garman, formerly of Bellefonte, but now a jeweler in Phila delphia, when he sent a check in the sum of five dollars to Peter Rider, the slayer of the Auman boy, The money was forwarded to Mrs. Rider, who will likely be able to make good use of it, and no doubt this is the first money she ever possessed representing the profits from sales of diamonds, ete. Those who made lavish Christmas presents should compare notes with Mr. Garman and see whether or not their gifts were given with as little you're in selfishness, AN OCEAN IN THE AIR. The Queer Superstition That Once Prevalled In England. The curious superstition that there is an ocean above the clouds Is llus- trated by the following strange story by an old English writer: “One Sunday the people of a certain village were coming out of church on a thick, cloudy day when they saw the anchor of a ship hooked to one of the tomb- stones, the cable, which was tightly stretched, hanging down frem the alr, The people were astonished, and while they were consulting about it suddenly they saw the rope move as though some one labored to pull up the an chor. The anchor, however, still held fast by the stone, and a great noise was heard in the alr like the shouting of sallors, Presently a sallor was seen sliding down the cable for the purpose of unfixing the anchor. When he had Just loosened It the villagers seized hold of him, and while in their hands he quickly dled, just as though he had been drowned. “About an hour later the sallors above, hearing no more of their com- rade, cut the cable and salled away, In memory of this extraordinary event the people of the village made the hinges of the church doors out of the iron of the anchor.” It is further stat. ed that these hinges “are still to be seen there,” a bit of evidence much like Munchausen’'s rope wherewith he once climbed to the moon. If you doubted the story you were confronted with the rope, There is another queer tale about this aerial ocean. “A merchant of Bris- tol,” it Is sald, “set sall with his cargo for Ireland. Bome time after, while his family were at supper, a knife sudden- ly fell In through a window on the ta- ble. When the merchant returned and saw the knife he declared it to be his own and sald that on such a day, at such an hour, while sailing in an un- known part of the sen, he dropped the knife overboard, and the day and the bour were found to be exactly the time when it fell through the window.” All of which was once lmplicitly belleved by many and regarded as incontrovert- ible proof of the existence of a sea above the sky. One Is at a loss to con- Jecture how that “unknown part of the sea” connected with the rest of it. A physical geography showing this would be no small curiosity, POINTED PARAGRAPHS. The doctor can’t always cure you; sometimes It's your mean disposition. The trouble about a good time is that people seldom agree on what it is. I? a sbiftless man in a country town doesn’t keep greyhounds be usually plays a fiddle, So many men fool away so much valuable time doing things in which there is neither point nor profit, It is not recorded that any financial genius ever got his start by purchas- ing diamonds on the lastallment plan. When a man is telling of a quarrel he has had and says, “Il sald to the other fellow," he nearly always makes what he says a good deal worse than it was. After a girl has married and left home she sits up and takes notice ev- ery time ber parents buy an expensive dress for the daughter still at home. — Atchison Globe The Department Store. The organization of a great depart- ment store is almost military in its discipline and Is one of the best exam- ples of what organization can accom- plish. The proprietor Is commander in chief, and under him are a number of assistants who are what might be con- sidered district supervisors. Below them are the heads of departments, who are responsible to their district chief or to some other head. The floor- walker, the man who Is so much in evidence because he spends his time in the aisles, is, In fact, a superintend. ent or foreman In charge of a depart- ment or series of departments. Each counter Is under the general super- vision of what is known as a head salesman, but this head salesman Is subject to the direction of the floor- walker. “Starting In Life” by N. C. Fowler, Jr. Peasant and King. Henry IV. the idol of the French people, was also a king of phrase mak- ers. During one of his tours through France he arrived at a small village and ordered that the most intelligent villager be sent to converse with him while he dined. When the rustic ap. peared the king ordered him to take a seat opposite to him at the table. “What is your name 7" asked the mon- arch, “Bire, | am called Galllard,” re- plied the peasant. “What is the dif. ference,” sald the king, “between gall lard” (1. e, a jolly fellow) “and pall lard” (1 e, a rake)? “Sire,” was the reply, “there is but a table between the two.” Life Marks Are Indelible, We are not writing in the sand.
