The Rishel farm, near Stone Mill, was sold to H. C. Bhirk, of Centre Hall. Mr. Bhirk has been very suc- cessful in dealing in real estate, He began his speculations, if such they may be termed, by purchasing a farm west of Boalsburg. This property was sold at a good advance. Later he bought the Bartges farm, east of Old Fort, from Brisbin & Co., and after owning it for several years, realized handsomely on his investment. The Rishek farm, under his management, will also soon become more profitable to its owner, and consequently more valuable when placed on the market. I ————— A A ——— From Millhelm Journal. H. F.

The children of the desert were filled with awe when tirst the silence of the primeval solitude was broken by the puthing of the steain engine. Down at the other end of the Cape to Cairo line the simple Matabele, when first con- fronted by a locomotive, were certain that the strange machine was worked by the labor of nu Indefinite number of oxen, which they assumed were shut up inside; hence, when the engine stop- ped, they gathered in curious crowds, waiting tv see the door open and the oxen come out, nor could they for many days be persuaded that the power of the locomotive could come from other than the strength of the ox. The Arabs of the Sudan, inative than the Matabeie, saw In the fire horses of the railway one of the Djinns of the “Arablan Nights" har nessed by the magic of the infidel to the long train of cars. The steam en- gine was to them a living, sentient being, of which bellef there is curl ous evidence In the fact that on one occasion a shelk made an impassioned remonstrance against the cruelty of making so small an engine draw so huge a train. more {mag- Composite Names. “One of the differences between the east and the northwest,” said a Puget sounder, “ls the names of places, and the Bkikomishes, the Snohomishes, the Snoqualmies, the Wahkiakums and the lot of thew give a man funny feelings, amk, when be runs across Bucoda, on the Northern Pacific raliroad in Plerce county, Wash., he doesn’t know wheth- er it Is Chinook or Siwash or what But it Is none of them-like Kenova, In West Virginia, which is near the june- tion of Kentucky, Ohio and Virginia, or Delmar, where Delaware and Mary- land come together. Bucoda Is a com- posite name, and its story is simple enough. When the Northern Pacific came in a town sprang up, and it must have a name. There were Indian names in plenty, but something more novel was wanted, so Messrs. Buckley, Coulter and Davis, all Northern Pacific officials, put their heads together first and thelr names later, and the name Bu-co-da was evolved, with an ety mology very apparent to any one who is at all informed in terminology coda It bas remained, bad as uawes go in the country.’ Puget sound Beggars on Horseback. “ "Whoa, thar,” he says, pullin’ hoss, and then he whines: “For the love o' charity, kind gent, would ye be 80 good as to gimme a crust o' bread for meself and a handful o' oats for the old mare? ™ The sallor smiled thoughtfully and stirred his lee cream soda with a long spoon. : “Yes, Hal,” he resumed, tual beggars on horseback In Roosla They travels {rom town to town In caravans.

It was a severe trial to Mr. Harding that his only son's memory was not all that could be desired. “Where In the world he got such a forgetful streak from is beyond me,” sald the exasper ated father to his wife on one occasion “What has he forgotten now 7 asked Mrs. Harding, with eyes downcast and a demure expression, “The figures of the last return from the election on the bulletin board.” And Mr. Harding inserted a finger In his collar as If to loosen It and shook his head vehemently. “Looked at ‘em as he came past not half an hour ago, and now can't tell me “As 1 said to him, ‘If you're so stu pid yo can’t keep a few simple figures In your head, why don’t you write ‘em down on a plece of paper, as | do, and have done all my life, long before | was your age?" A \ Candle Trick. Let a candle burn until it has a good long snuff, then blow It out with a sudden puff. A bright wreath of white smoke will curl up from the hot wick Now, if a flame be appfled to this smoke, even at a distance of two or three inches from the candle, the flame will run down the smoke and rekindle the wick in a very fantastic manner To perform this ceremony nicely there must be no draft or “banging” doors while the mystic spell is rising. His Fate. The race of consequential vergers is not yet extinct.

Probably the ugliest beast In the world is a monkey, a grewsome look lug animal called the bearded sak This is so utterly grotesque a beast that It would scarcely be safe to let a child or nervous person see it. The ugliness is not of an amusing kind, but of an evil, sinister nature. The beast has a sort of beard and a countenance unlike anything else In shape and lines. The monkey Itself is not partic ularly savage, but is so hideous that the natives of its country, South Amer lca, say that no beast of prey, however hungry, will tackle It.
