Pastor's Merited Rebuke.
When Samuel S. Colber was preach
-1 ing in an old log schoolhouse In John
; son county, Missouri, in 1852, his
! congregation was quite small. One
j Sunday all were sitting at the desks
i forward near the puncheon floor,
i The sermon was monotonous and the
old log seats had no backs. Observ
ing the sleepy, downcast look of the
congregation, the minister woke them
up by shouting: "Arouse, heaven Is
J not under the floor!"
Have You Noticed These?
An inventor in America has earned (
the thanks of all who have been seek- i
ing after a really sanitary form of
kissing. In certain parts of that great
country, when young ladles goto par- |
ties and places where they kiss, they
i are provided with a sterilized Ivory j
ring, mounted on a sliver handle. This j
is interposed between the kisser and
the kissee, and the resulting sensation
is known as "pasteurized pleasure," or j
"germless Joy."—London Answers.
Longevity In French Villages.
A remarkable record of longevity Is
to be found In some of the rural par
ishes of France. In the village of St. '
Thomas de la Fliche there have been
only fourteen parish priests In three
hundred yoarß, the fourteenth being
still in possession. The parish of St.
Germain du Val, in Paris, has had only
three pastors in one hundred years,
while that of Qivry en Argonne has
had but five in 130 years.

BITTEN TWICE BY
A COPPERHEAD
Lock Haven Paper Mill Em
ploye Snake's Victim—ls
Out of Danger
Lock Haven, Aug. 23. —Gust
Mignot, an employe of the paper
mill, was bitten twice by a copper
head snake, while in quest of
Huckleberries on the mountain
near Bellefonte.
Young Mignot, with several
others, were quite successful and
had gathered many quarts of ber
ries, when he came upon a marshy
spot. While passing this he step
ped on the snake, which sank its
fangs into the man's left leg.
Thinking that he had been struck
by a thorn he reached down with
his arm when the reptile again bit
him, this time on the arm. Then
he saw the snake, which attempted
to get away, but he dispatched it
in short order and then hurried to
Belief on te with all possible haste,
where Dr. Locke attended him.
After this Mignot went to Wil
liamsport and several times had
the wound cauterized by Dr. James
Lubrecht. Although Mr. Mignot
suffered considerably from the
poisonous virus for several days, it
is thought he is now out of danger.
