Routed by Puppets.

Toward the close of the reign Of
Elizabeth, when the Spaniards were
frequently lowering about the south
west coast of England, a party from
their ships landed in the neighborhood
of where Falmouth stands today, with
the intention of burning the borough Of
Penryn. 1t CHANGED, however, that that
same evening some strollers had set
up in Penryn market place repre-
sentatioa by puppets of certain Incl
dents in the life of Samson, including
his victory over the Philistines.
At the point of Samson's onset upon
these with the jawbone Of the ass the
strollers beat drums and sounded trum-
pets indicative of an alarm, and the
Spaniards, who were at that moment
about to rush the town, believing 1t to
be full of soldiers, bolted for their
boats.
This probably occurred in 1895, when
there was Spanish squadron on the
coas' which landed troops and burned
Penzance.

Candles as Bullets.

Concerning the shooting of candle
through board correspondent
writes: eve selected a weather beaten
pine fence board as target and load
ed the gun with three drains of black
powder, followed by an ordinary
'stearin' candle, which fitted tightly.
The candle passed through, making a
clear cut hole, and buried itself in the
sand back of the target. The candle,
while somewhat torn, was still far
from shapeleSs."

Coined In Bedlam,

The phrase ito sham Abraham" was
coined in Bedlam, or Bethlehem hospi-
tal where there was at one time an
Abraham ward, the inmates Of which
upon certain days were permitted to
go out as licensed beggars on behalf
Of the hospital. These mendicant lu-
natics were known as abraham men
and their success in invoking the pity
of the charitable was such that they
had many unlicensed imitators, who,
when discovered. were said "to have

The public Drinking CUP.

When it is necessary to relieve ones
thirst abroad. if the cup be filled quite
full and placed to the mouth in such
a way that the rim will be about half
an inch below the under lip, one can
drink from the surface of the water.
In this way no part of the vessel, to
which some particles of poisonous mat
ter may still be clinging. will touch the
delicate skin of the lip. 1t is hardly
necessary to add that the water which
adheres to the mouth and below the
lips should be removed by handker
chief and not by the tongue.

Note. From the Farm journal

Battens are cheaper than feed.
Outdoor life is Gods own medicine.
We should not forget to credit the
farm with house rent.
1t isn't wise to build three story
house with one story purse.
Never allow a COW to lie on bare
boards. 1t is cruel and costly.
Always remember that the least chill
Of tie COW shrinks her mess of milk.
Pick up every board that may have
nails in it before you turn the horses
out in the yard.
Some people squander on side issues
enough energy to send a through train
a long way on the main track.
A rough. noisy roustabout person
around the barn is often a serious dam
age to the creatures. Watch out for
such.

The Drumming of Grouse.

Who has not heard the drumming Of
ruffed grouse While in the woods dur
ing the spring months? 1t is the most
common sound of wooing, beard from
every thicket at every hour Of the day
There is still a misconception as to how
the drummirT is done The general be-
lief is that the bird produces the sound
by working its wings rapidly. using
them to strike its body or log. It is
true that the ruffed grouse like most
chickens. flaps its wings in the excite
ment of its love song. but that the
dr'imming is produced in that manner
is q myth. l have often watched n
cock which, standing on a log and
drumming for dear life, apparently did
not move a feather. though | must
state that the drumming was not so
loud as if the wings had been tapped
Flapping the wings evidently fills with
air the lungs and throat of the bird
but is not an indispensable agency in
producing the drumming. If the ruffeG
grouse could work its wings as quickly
as the closing strophe of the drumming
1t would be the swiftest motor in ey
istence-Country Life In America.

The disposition of icebergs to turn

Gilbert Mckinley Accidentally Killed.

Some of our exchanges note the acci-
dental death on Monday, May 10Th, of
Gilbert McKinlay, of Lansdale, near
Philadelphia. The item states that Mr..
Mckinley was killed by an express train
while crossing the Reading railway
tracks in front of the station at Lsnsdale.
That he was 50 years old and leaves sew
eral children, among them the Rev.
James s. McKinlay and Mrs. Margaret
Schmidt, of Philadelphia, and Mrs. Agnes
Doan, of Lansdale.
This has reference, undoubtedly, to a
former well known citizen of this section,
who moved to Lansdale many years ago.
Mr.. McKnlay was one OF the pioneer
residents of this section, and among the
older citizens of this community his
memory is still cherished and revered.
He lived for many yeals on farm on
Hunter Run, in Tionesta township, now
occupied by Fred Dryer, afterward NOV
ing to the Sibbald farm, on the Allegheny
River, now owned by l.. j. Hopkins.
He removed from this section about 81
years ago. He was a carpenter by trade,
and helped to erect many of the older
class of houses in Tionesta. His wife was
a daughter of the late DR.. Sibbald, well
remembered by our older citizens. Mr..
McKinlay was Scotchman of the pur-
est type, and his sterling honesty and
plain OPEN heartedness made him citi-
zen and friend much to be desired.
