Last Saturday the writer along with

From PIT. Marion up to Morgantown

Whiskey and beer were drunk freely

We often see articles In the papers
about odd advertisements and signs
which we sometimes think have been
made up. but just keep your eyes

A North Atlantic Curiosity,

"In the midst of the north Atlantic there is an enormous field of floating seaweed which kept It's place presum- ably for centuries,' said an old seq captain. "It occupies an immense eddy about the ffty-sixth degree of west longitude and between the twen- ty-second and twenty-eighth degrees of north latitude. There is great differ ence of opinion regarding the origin of this floating mass. Some believe 1t to be detached from rocks at considera. ble depth in the latitude where it floats. Others suppose it to come from the shores of the northern seas, having been detached from the rocks by the violence of the winds. Some again i'm agine that it comes from the rocky shores of Florida and Mexico, while many others agree with me in believ- ing that it has never had any other than its present place of abode. No one has ever seen it attached to rocks, nor have roots ever been discovered belonging to it.'

What a Mans Beard Tells,

You can tell some of mans habits and read some of his traits of charac ter from his beard" said the old bar
 Der. If man spends his days at a desk beside window his hair and beard will grow faster OH the side to- ward the window. Plants and boards both flourish under the influence of sunlight. Why, one of my customers found the effects of the side light so pronounced that he changed his office desk to face the window. Another in- teresting fact is that. when q man is up late or works long hours, he needs shave oftener than if he took the usual amount of sleep. That's because in being awake he keeps the vital proc esses of his body in greater activity than when asleep. The growth of the hair depends largely on the circulation of the blood, and the heart slows down when we sleep."-Kansas City Star.

Rats Arc ivory Experts.

The ivory dealer pointed to half dozen rats gnawing among the yellow heaps of tusks and ivory fragments i'll the garret.
 '"They are quite tane, you see.' he said. "Why shouldn't they be so: The fact is, they are on my payroll. The% work for me. Their wages are pound of cheese and loaf of bread week
 "Ivory dealers like rat, for rats are ivory's best judges, and without thoi5 help we should often want high2 price for bad tusk thal for fine one."
 He took fragment of Ivory from the floor and pointed to certain smai' furrows in it's surface.
 "The rats did that" he said. "Thosc furrows are proof of the ivory's eX- cellence.
