Oil City Trust Company 8ert Baseball Signals. Terhaps you nevpr realized that there Is un exact sHenoe In coaching and signaling." says IIiikIi S. Fuller ton, writing on the secret l ricks of bnseball coaching in the American Magazine; "t lint the two men out there near tlrst and third bases, who seem to be making fools of themselves or trying to annoy the majestic man in blue serge, are the wigwag men sig naling to rtinners or batters Just what the general sitting on the bench wants them to try to do. Sometimes the gen eral Is on the lines himself, looking Just ns foolish as the wigwag men or more so, but somewhere, hidden In his meaningless or hackneyed phrases or his wild gestures, there Is n meaning. He Is telling the batter not to hit the next bait or to bunt it or Informing him that the next will be a straight fast ball and at the same time Inform ing the base runner that the batter in tends to hit and that he must start at top speed when the pitcher starts to wind up." Salt Water Bathing. Dr. Copeman of Hrlghtou. England, writing In the Practitioner, London, gives some ndrlce on sea bathing. "The best time to bathe Is about two hours after breakfast, the period of greatest vital activity," says Dr. Cope man. "The one time which must be 7oided by all Is after a full meal. During the process of digestion the vessels of the Internal organs are al ready engorged with blood, and the shock of the cold water Is apt to pro duce a very dangerous condition of congestion, the least of many penalties that may accrue being an acute attack of Indigestion. With many keen bath ers it Is an article of faith to bathe before breakfast. But business men, after months of unremitting toll, those who are below par or who are getting on In years, Bbould avoid taxing their system by bathing at such a time. Even the most robust would be wise to partake of a cup of hot milk before leaving the bouse." 8alt Salt production Is about the oldest Industry In the world. In Italy, the cradle of the salt Industry, It baa beeo ftilkdOQ Ck Elm, Oil City, Ta. style, assortment, and quality, nianuractured commercially Tor 2.WX) years. Salt Is so necessary to ex istence that in some parts of the world tribes will sell the members of their families In exchange for salt. Bait bas been the cause of wars, and so Im portant has it always been considered that in some places the passing of salt is established as a token of friend ship, and women throw salt on a vis itor as a friendly greeting. In some countries salt is so scarce that It Is obtained through the ashes of grasses and a species of palm and other plants. While salt Is produced In almost every country In the world. It. is stated that nowhere an salt of such purity be obtained at anything like the cost for mining ns in Louisiana. Manufactur ers Record". A Real Gat Plant. There are two varieties of gns plant One is a manufacturing establishment where coal Is converted into gas for il luminating and heating purposes. The other variety is a real growing plant called the fraxinella. Few know why the fraxinella Is called the "gas plant." This Is because at certain times It re leases a volatile oil that actually ig nites If allowed to come lu contact with a lighted match. The fraxinella Is also noted for Its fragrance and longevity If not disturbed. One plant In New England garden Is doing Its best to outlive a third generation, and elsewhere a clump Is still flourish ing after no less than thirty-seven years on a grave one of the most dif ficult of places for a perennial to keep up a long struggle for existence, let alone u normal life. New York World. Gifted. "I don't know what I'm ever going to make of that sou of mine," com plained a prominent Cleveland busi ness man the other day. The old chap Is self made, a graduate of the univer sity of hard knocks and all that, and It naturally grievps him to have a son who Is not aggressive. "Maybe your son hasn't found him self yet," we consoled. "Isn't he gift ed in any way?" "Gifted! I should say he is! He ain't got a darned thing that wasn't given to hlm."-Cleveland Plain Deal- State Sunday School CoBTentlon. The annual convention Pennsylvania State Sabbath School Association met at New Castle, Pa., Oct. 11, 12 and 13, 1011. Tbeme-"The open Bible and the Up lifted Cross." On Wednesday all dele gates were met at the different stations by uniformed pages and taken to the First Methodist church where they registered Each delegate received a beautiful eon ventlon band book, a program, and then were assigned their place of entertain ment. The convention proper opened at 10:30 o'clock In the First Presbyterian church, with a general conference of county and district association officers meeting with the State field foroe, W. O. Landla pre siding. Mr. Landes asked for season of prayer. Rev. C. A. Oliver read the HHh Psalm. Then Mr. Landla said the work era should take a backward look, then I forward look for the coming year In order to improve by the mistakes that were made. He asked the audience to Join blm In looking at the card showing the inureassed record for the past year. The four churches In which the convention was held were decorated In the conven tion colors, purple and gold, vines, flags, and bunting. The mass meetings were held In the First Presbyterian church and in the First Baptist cburoh. The address of welcome was given by City Solicitor Gardener. He told that New Castle bad 42 Protestant churches, 6 Catholic churches, one Hebrew church, 12 mis sions, 11 school bouses, one high school, and no saloons. The response was given by S. E. Gilt ol Pittsburg, State treasurer of the 8. S. Association. Address of the evening was given by Prof. Frances H. Green of West Chester Normal 80I100I; subject, The Survival of the Fittest in English Literature. He advocated a more intelligent study of the bible, and not ao much time on lesson leavea and quarter lies. He commended tbe bible to all the world as tbe greatest book In literature. The general Session ol tbe convention was held at 0:15 a. m., Thursday. Prof. E. O. Excell oonduoted a praise service. After business session, reading reports, and making appointments of committees, was tbe recognition of Front Line Coun ties. In this I was especially interested as we have been working since our last county convention to bring Forest County to tbe front. One of the most pleasing reporta made was the one received In re gard to the counties that bad been award ed banners during tbe last year for hav ing been received into tbe Front Line. Giving recognition to these counties was most Interesting. Mr. Landia gave a des cription of the work carried on and told of tbe struggle to get tbe counties inter ested. The first year only five counties were received in tbe front Hue. In all 56 counties have received banners. An ef fort was made to get 67 counties as a mark of appreciation to H. J. Heinz, who awards tbe banners. On one side of the church was a large banner covered with muslin. Many of tbe delegates were curious to know what was behind tbe curtain but it was not uutil tbe recogni tion of counties in tbe Front Line waa given that tbe curtain was lowered. Back of the curtain were tbe banners awarded siuoe the work was taken up. In the first row were tbe first S counties to reacb the classification. In 1907 tbe first 6 coun ties bad reached tbe high standard of per fection. Tbey were Columbia, Washing ton, Greene, Fayette and Union. Tbe representatives from these counties stood while tbe curtain was lowered Just far enough to exhibit to view tbe beautiful banners awarded those counties. The next year Lebanon, Beaver, Fulton, Northumberland, Lycoming, and Snyder received tbe Front Line. Tbe next year when the Convention was held at Harris burg, Dauphin, Bucks, Sullivan, Mon tour, Cameron, Clarion, Allegheny, Warren, Monroe, Delaware, Clearfield, Chester, and Erie were added. The next year Mercer, Juniata, Berks, Bedford, MoKean, Northampton, Westmoreland, Adams, Blair, Cambria, Somerset, Brad lord and Wyoming were added. This year Wayne, Tioga, Potter, Center, Arm strong, Clinton, Schuylkill, Indiana, Butler, Lackawanna, Montgomery, Pike, Cumberland, Lancaster, Venango, Jeffer son, Carbon, and Forest were added to tbe list. Greetings from Hon. John Wanamaker, honorary president, also from President H. J. Heinz, who were unable to attend tbe convention on account of Illness. Howard Heiai was called to the platform and con tributed the Heinz money lor tbe Jubilee fund. At the first Presbyterian church. Thursday afternoon at the praise service when Prof. Excell asked tbe women to sing a song, It was surprising to see how few women were present compared to the num ber of men. Thursday afternoon session at this church was the Organized Adult Bible Class arranged under the direction of W, D. Stem at tbe head of this work. J. A. Kin near presiding officer, In opening the pro gram of the afternoon said, "The day Is past when father says to John" go to Sun day school, he now says, John come to Sun day school. Mother says, Mary come to Sunday school, Ten three minute talk 8 on Organized Adult Bible Class work formed tbe first half of the program. The second half of the program was on Organized Adult Bible Class demonstration, piepared by W. D. Stem. The reception committee and teachers ot Organized Adult Bible Classes present were called to the platform where they formed a class, From the opening of the class, with a general hand shaking and greeting reports, and the lesson proper, it was a model session and furnished much Inspiration to every teacher present. By Thursday morning 1,400 delegates bad re gisteied and still kept comiug on all trains during tbe day. There were between 7,000 and 8,000 men in the big parade. It took the parade 45 minutes to pass. The business Besaion of Friday morning was very Important. The next convention will be held In Philadelphia. It Is the Jubilee convention celebrating the fifty years since Its organization. With the ex ception of one all the old officers were re elected. 825,000 was raised for the Jubilee fund. The speakers of the morning were Mrs. Mary Foster Bryner, International Elementary worker, who spoke on "Before the Teen age;" Mrs. W. J. Barnes speaking ou "Graded Lessous;" Mibs Marie Braebm, international temperance worker speaking on the "New Crusade;" and 8. E. Gill made an interesting temperance talk. After the devotional exercises in the Central Presby terian church, Rev. C. A. Oliver,, State Teacher Training Supt., spoke on Elemen tary Grades. He said so many mothers refute to teach the children in elemen tary grades aud children are so receptive, more tban at any other age. He said. Bring them to know that God is their father, Those who Join the cbnroh early make the best christians. Ha advised all teachers to take the Normal Training Course and fit themselves for the most important work that they can do, In tbe first Presbyterian church on Fri day evening Percy L. Craig, general chair man, took charge of the meeting. Io tbe praise service it was wonderful bow E. O, Excell, with bis pianist A. W. Roper, con trolled the large audience in song. After scripture reading and prayer by Rev. A. B. MoCormlck then R. M. Campbell announo ed tbe awards of banners, and when repre sentatives of the classes came to the plat form, Secretary Laud Is presented the beau tlful flags bearing the words By this sign conquer," Mr. Landla asked delegates from the counties winning banners this year to stand up, I stood for little Forest. After tbe address by Rev. Welsbheimer, Mr. Landla asked the audience what the convention had meant to them and many responded, telling of inspiration and power that had been gained through the splendid meetings held. With the singing of "In the Sweet Bye and Bye," and the benedio tlon, the great convention closed, the work era planning to meet in Philadelphia, Oc tober, 1912. Mrs. II. M. Cook Nebraska, Pa., Nov. 4, 1911, Good Monty After Bad. It is a curious fact that many men, level headed enough about other things, seem to lose their wits entirely when they become involved In law suits. In one case recently concluded iu the German courts a Berlin mer chant paid out over $000 to recover tbe value of a flvo cent postage stamp. He bad written a letter asking for an address and Inclosing postage for re ply. Falling to get an answer, be sued for the stamp. The famous Missouri watermelon case was Just as trifling and even more disastrous. The seed was planted on one farm, but the vine crept through a crack in the rail fence, and the melon grew on tbe other side. Both furmers claimed It, and Instead of perceiving tho humor of tbe situation they went to law. To add to the puzzling features of the question of ownership there was the further complication In that tbe fence stood on a county line, whereupon a ques tion of the Jurisdiction of tbe courts came up. Tbe farmers bankrupted themselves without obtaining a de cision as to tbe ownership. Green Bag. The Bloody Hand. The noted English family of the Holies has for Its badge a bloody hand, and this sinister badge commemorates n wager that ended in a crime. Sir Thomas nolte one day In 1012 was bunting. He Invited his comrades borne with him to dinner, and as he rode along he made a heavy bet on his cook's punctuality. But the cook fail ed blm for once. When -he got borne dinner was not ready. The Jeers of bis companions at this failure, together with his huge loss in the matter of tbe wager, enraged him so that be ran into tbe kitchen, seized a cleaver and split the cook's head open with it. After ward bis family, to keep this crime alive, adopted for its crest the bloody band of the cook killer. An Eskimo's Dwelling. We do not look for any great amount of inventive genius among tbe Eski mos, but for years tbey have employed a rather complete respirator, used in the preparation and taking of a vapor bath, as n means of protection from tbe dense smoke. This Eskimo respi rator is a little basket woven of twist ed strands of fine grass. It is placed with Its shallow side against the mouth, und a wooden peg, which arises from the center of tbe basket, is held between tbe teeth. For this purpose water is evaporated over a big lire in a very low but, which is tightly closed to keep in tbe beat In this stifling atmosphere tbe employ ment of a respirator Is absolutely nec essary.

Tbe cunning of wild auluinls in con cealing themselves In moments of danger Is well known. A party, spend ing a week on the Nile, were watching eight or ten crocodiles sunning them selves on the surface of a small la goon. It was determined to trap these monsters, if possible. Tbe wnter was breast deep, including about two feet or more of heavy mud. Four nets were tied together, so ns to mnke one long enough to reach across the lagoon, and this was weighted on the bottom. This net was drawu with long poles from each shore, aud behind the net came a line of men a yard apart, prod ding tbe mud with poles. The scheme looked like an admirable one, but the crocodiles sleepily dived, and that was tho last seen of them. The water whs dragged backward and forward, but tbey had burrowed so deeply lu the mud thnt not one could be found. A Political Genius. Congressmen somet lines adopt queer expedients to gain the good will of their constituents. Years ago a mem ber from a western state was afraid that his first term would bo his last, as be had not man need to make him self a power In congress. While be was debating what he should do a friend said, "You live near the center of the United States, don't you?" "Yes." "Then why don't you intro duce a bill to have the capital moved to the principal town in your dis trict?" Tbo congressman introduced the bill, and tbe people of his district at once concluded be was a great man and sent blm back for another term. He reintroduced the bill In the next congress, nuu, niuiougu it was prompt- ly plgeonholod In committee, bis con- stltueuts gave him a third term as a reward for his geuhis. The Blushing Octopus. The octopus frequently changes in color like n murine chameleon. It would appear, from studies of this creature, that the colored pigment whereby this change In color Is effected is contained in envelopes In its skin, in the tissue of which are muscular fibers aetunted by nerves. Should these flbnrs btieoino relaxed a dark pigment appears. The phenomenon is said to be analogous to blushing. Har per's Weekly. Not Lively.
