Peculiar shape of the Land Caused by
the Measuring Process.
1t is a commonly-accepted theory that
q man steps three feet. and many tract

OF measured with chain. says the
Washington Star. In the west they OBJ
yiate the difficulties of surveys by the
land being divided into sections, but in
Pennsylvania much of the property. es-
pecially in the mountains, must still be
described by metes and bounds.
In one of the counties in western
Pennsylvania are two brothers, one of
whom is tail and lank and the other
short and fat. Many years ago they
purchased tract of mountain land call
ing for n mile square. They divided the
labor OF measuring it, one stepping off
one side. the other the other side. Then
they fenced it in and were perfectly sat
listed until recently, when suit was
brought to recover considerable tract
of land. Each brother swore that he
knew the measurement to be right and
told how it had been done. Then, as the
spectators saw the short legs OF the one.
scarcely long enough to reach the floor
when he sat in chair, and the elon-
gated extremities of the other, there
was general laugh. in which the judge
and attorney joined. Upon surveying it
was found that one line was n mile and n
half long and the other only little over
half mile.

A Mirror
Is A Good Thing

To look into if you are well
dressed. Poorly dressed people
rather avoid mirrors. Sometimes
poorly dressed people are poorly
dressed because they are care
less-because they buy the cloth
without stopping to think if 1t
will wear well-if it will retain
its color. A man who has only a
limited amount of money to spend
on clothes can't be too careful.
He should find a good tailor and
stick to him. He will find good
material durably and stylishly
put together ten times more eco
nomical than any other invest
ment. Our spring stock is now
ready for inspection. No such
stock has ever been shown in
Clarksburg. 1t consists of the
very latest to be found among
either American or foreign goods,
such as always give genuine sat
isfaction to the wearer; also the
latest furnishings of every kind.

IF THE MOON STOOD STILL.
There Would Be Many Changes on the
Earth.

There Would Be Many Changes on the
Earth.
We must imagine that the moon
would always be. exactly over one spot
or the earth S surface, says the Phila-
phia Inquirer. At night, therefore
that part of the earth would always
be Illuminated, unless the position
which is most probable result
in an eclipse; but the other portions of
the earth would be in total darkness
at night. The effect on navigation
would be revolutionary. The phe-
nomenon of the It'd es would practically
cease. Consequently many tidal riv-
ers would run low constantly and -four
ishing ports go to ruin. Not only so,
but the distribution of the water on the
earth's surface would be seriously al
tered. If the moon stood still, the
waters on that side of the earth where
the moon was stationed would rise in
one huge mass, while the opposite side
of the earth would have smaller bulk
The waters, however, at the sides of
the earth would practically disappear
This would undoubtedly mean that
many portions of the earth now dry
would be flooded, and vice versa Not
only so, but the shape of the planet

A Vicious Rooster.

!, There are roosters and BOOSTERS, some
vicious and some docile enough, but the
king of them all lives at Marshalville,
Ga. He is a gigantic plymouth rock,
and there is no doubt that when
plymouth rock rooster does grow to
unusual size he is worth talking about.
This one is fighter. and has particu-
lar antipathy to children. Willie
Price, the little son of the owner of the
feathered giant, with his sister. was
out in the yard playing. The plymouth
rock strolled along and then without
"a sound sprang at the little girl and
sank his bill in the flesh between the
left eye and the nose full half an inch.
The lachrymal gland was severed and
the rooster beside made two deep holes
in the child's head and arms with his
spurs. Mr.. Price heard the screams
of the children and ran out into the
yard, when the bird was put to fight.
