SENTENCE RHYTHM.
IdIosyncrnsies of Writers and Speak.
ers In This Respect

IdiOsyncrasics of Writers and Speak,
ers In This Respect.
All experienced writers and speakers
manifest Il personal popularity In the
rhythm of their sentences. The writer
indicates this by the rccurrent lengths
of his sentences and the speaker by
his Interpretation. Most of US are IN
aware of the fact that we have a nor
mai length Of sentences and that we
retain this length when possible. Re-
cent investigations have discovered
this fact, and the evidence Is indis-
putablc. The successive sentences ad-
NIT of variations, but the average
length of sentences of any ordinary
author IS claimed to be ascertainable
from the reading Of any 800 lines Of his
typical works.
In English prose and poetry the
thought is Of the most importance and
the form of expression IS but sec
ondary In chanting and In music the
thought IS Subordinated TO the form,
and in these forms of expression the
rhythm is much more prominent than
in prose or poetry. 1t Is aesthetically
dlspleasing to have too much made
of rhythm in reading prose and poetry,
but the highest manifestations Of art
are present when the rhythmical form
IS used to express the thought. We do
not like to have that which is most
important subordlnated to the less i'm
portant, but our aesthetic natures
crave rhythm, and when the best ex-
preston of thought comedies with the
production of rhythm we respond at
once with enthusiastic approyal.-Wal-
ter Dill Scott In Talent.

Frazier Farm Was Not Sold.

One of the biggest crowds that ever
gathered at public sale in Montour
county was present yesterday when
the fine Frazier farm near Washing
tonville was put under the hammer.
The farm was not sold however. 1t
was bid up to $40, 700 by Clarence
Campbell, but the owners refused to
let the property 20 for that price All
the other articles were sold, including
) prime horses, stock, farming imple-
ments, etc.
Some idea of the enormous crowd
that was present can be gathered when
it is stated that nearly 500 wagons and
carriages were tied near the scene of
the sale.

"You have perhaps wondered how
the expression so long came to be so
generally used 10y the American peo-
pie" said a Columbia college lecturer
the other day. 1T IS usually used In
closing a conversation and IS simply q
form Of 'goodby' The Norwegians
brought It to this country. In that

Is a common form Of farewell. II
means the same as the 'auf wieder-

Work and Pay of the Girl Behind the

Promotion Is very slow in a depart
ment store A girl may enter n store at
Sc a week and, after FIVE or six or sew
en- years, receive an advance of 81 a
week If she puts up n pretty stiff fight
and is a valuable saleswoman.
Her work Is not the dull grind it
might be supposed. The hours are
long, it is true, but the continual pro-
cession of humanity which files before
her lends interest and certain kind
of excitement TO every hour Human
nature Is wonderfully facile in its dis
closures, and the shOpgirl who has
two ideas In her head and keeps her
wits about her very soon learns the
difference between the real lady and
the spurious article. She learns to
know at glance whether her custo-
mer Is likely to order a box Of hair
pins or a spool of thread sent home,
miles away, by the delivery wagon, or
it may be high priced goods ordered
to be sent C. o. ID. to locality which
does not contain residence street.

THE GAME Or DRAUGHTS.
So Old That Its Origin lis Lost In the
MIsts of Antinuity.

Draughts in some shape or form is
doubtless a very ancient pastime. In
deed, the safest thing to say about it is
that its origin is lost in the mists of an
tiquity. Representations of persons
playing al a game resembling draughts
are frequently found on ancient Egyp-
tian monuments at least 1900 years
old The Greeks had a similar game,
from whom possibly it passed to the
Romans. At least the old Roman game
of latrunculi seems to have been kind
of draughts, though II is doubtful If the
game as now played is very ancient.
The game was popular and well known
in France and Spain in the seventeenth
century and was probably played there
and in England centuries before that.
That it was from France the game
came into many Of the other countries
Is evident from the fact that the French
name-jeu de danes passed with it.
Dam or damme was once the regular
English name for one of the pieces. In
Germany the game is still called dame
spiel. in Holland the board is dambord
and In Scotland dambrod still survives.
In the United States the less usual
name of chequers, spelled checkers, is
employed. Polish, Spanish, Italian and
Turkish draughts are varieties Of the
same game The Polish game, which
has several peculiarities, was intro
duced in Paris in 1923 and was at first
nlaVed on n board of 100 SQUARES with
40 men.-Chambers Journal

THE AMERICAN FEELING.
Loyalty to the Principles of Self
Government.

Every American should realize that
the principle of self government is a
higher principle than that of loyalty TO
the best sovereign, for it is fidelity to
the highest good of all and to virtue,
intelligence and Cod He who shares
in the government gains in moral dig
nifty. His manhood is developed by re
sponSibility He loves and will main
tain a government in which his own
will and intelligent choice are involved.
lie viii feel that upon his single arm,
his single voice, his single life, hangs
the preservation of the government
and the national freedom. This is the
American feeling. 1t burns in every
true American breast
England is the only truly free cOun-
try of the old world, and the English
man is free man; but our glory is
that humanity itself one and indivisi-
Bile, may rise to Il higher plane with
us than in England. In England the
son treads precisely in the footsteps Of
his fathers, and it is hard for a man to
rise above the dead level of the class
of society in which he was born. There
IS an oppressive weight resting on the
spirit of the lower classes, and as long
as the absolute caste system prevails
to such an unnatural and irrational
extent the government viii feel no sin
cerc desire to educate the people above
their present condition. Here IS our
undeniablc ground of superiority. Let
us not cast it away by allowing the
really vulgar idea Of material luxury
TO overcome and overwhelm the high
er and nobler good-James NJ. Hop

oAf.-r You, Gentlemen" !"

The French at FontenOy, sheltered
by the ridge, could scarcely believe
their eyes at the sight of the English
gunners slewing round their pieces to
cover them. When they at length real
iZed that 1t was one of the enemy's
and not one of their own batteries the
officers of the Gardes Francais rushed
them to deploy and charge the cannon.
Almost at the same moment the gren-
adiers cleared the hilltop and began to
descend upon him. 1t was then that
there occurred that wonderful meeting
which has charmed so many genera
tions of readers. Every one knows the
description Of the scene for which Vol
talre was indebted to D'Argeson; how
the French officers, in their blue and
silver coats and their long scarlet vests
and stockings, waited the approach Of
the grenadiers, hat in hand; how the
fronted caps, while Lord Charles Hay
bowed to the opposing line, with the
words, Gentlemen Of the French
guard, please to fire first" to which the
Comte d'Anteroche replied: Gentle
men, we never fire first Fire your
selvesr' Such was battle of the
grand age as pictured by the arlstocrat
who saw the universe reflected In the
mirrors of the Oeil de Boeuf, but in the
Lothian papers there is a yellow letter,
written by Hay, in hospital after ac-
ton, which gives ruder and, it Is to
be feared, more natural version Of the
story.-LOndoR Spectator.

CHILD'S BODY
NOT IDENTIFIED

Chief of Police Clifford, of Wilkes
Barre, went to Berwick yesterday
morning bringing with him the sup
posed mother of the child that was
found in the river near Mifflinville
Tuesday afternoon The woman upon
viewing the remains denied that it
was the body of her babe,
When the woman viewed the body
she displayed not the least emotion,
and declared that it was not her child,
rs il was larger than her babe. The
authorities believe the child is hers,
however, and attribute its size to its
being bloatad from being i'll the water

The jury that had been empaneled
heard the testimony of DR.. Hensyl. of
Berwick yesterday afternoon at 30
O'Clock, but rendered no verdict. He
had performed an autopsy, and stated
that it was his opinion that the child
was dead before it was thrown into
the river 1t therefore devOlved Ipon

mains, which was accordingly done

Lapis Lazuli.

LapIs laZuli, Il peculiar stone, vary
Ing in shades from sky blue to dark
blue, comes from various parts of Asia
and has usually specks of yellow or
white iron pyrtes, which some believe
to be gold or silver. The fine blue color
for painting called ultramarine is made
from lapis laZuli by grinding 1t into
pOUacr and purifying it from pyrites
and otter 81 stances which are mixed
with 1t in its natural state. AS paint
ers know well, this color Is now diff
cult to obtain genuine since n mode of
making it artifcially has been discov
cred by chemists. The difference In
price is great. The artificial cannot be
distinguished from the real by even
the most careful chemical tests, the
only means of detecting the former be-
ing by the microscope, which shows
the absence of the sparkling particles
Of the broken stone from which the
real ultramarine is never free.

Mushrooms.

An enthusiast on the subject of mush-
rooms says there is no more reason
to mistake a good mushroom for a
poisonous toadstool than to confound
nightshade with huckleberrles The
distinctions are clear and simple and
easily learned. Real mushrooms are
known 10y their beautiful pink gills,
not reaching the stem, which stem car
ries well marked white woolly ring;
by the very fleshy down covered top,
the delicious and enticing fragrance,
the firm, white flesh, sometimes in
Cllned 10 pink when cut or broken.
One or two rules In regard TO gathering
mushrooms, we are told, will remove
all the peril from the pursuit Of them.
Examine carefully every specimen you
gather If at all doubtful throw It
away Show II to somebody that
knows. Never cook mushrooms un-
less you Hno" they are gathered 10y
