A Snake Story.

The family were at dinner when there came tap at door seldom opened. Winning no attention. it was repeated and again third time though more softly, and then the door was swung back and, behold, there was snake, knocking at the portals of hospitality! Down upon its head. in conformity with the decree of tradi ton and with Ezra's understanding of scriptural direction. crunched Brit ish boot It was mother snake, who having bravely overcome her fear o1 man, was seeking sustenance, not for herself perhaps, though she was starv Ing. but more likely for the little ones that were found in the grass by the brook. Thus for once, at any rate. did the craftiness of the devil succumb t' the instinct of motherhood.-Geor B. M. Harvey in North American Re view.

Tho "Macaroni."

The "macaroni" were exquisites ol Cops who in England and France led the fashions from 1780 to 17S5 and were distinguished by an immense knot of artificial hair worn on the toI of their heads. A small cooked hat which perched ridiculously on their topknot, satin or brocade coats and small clothes fitting tightly to the body and silk stockings with ribbon garters composed the costume of these fash ionable gentlemen who invariably car ried long walking stick with tassels attached and frequently bouquet tiec to the handle and encouraged a mine ing and affected gait and manner There was during the war for inde pendence a body of Maryland soldiers who on account of their showy uni forms were called "macaroni."

If any one dons a new dress or puts on a new cloth or allows his tailor to cut a piece of cloth on these days, he will live a miserable life till that dress or cloth gets torn or is thrown away. If shirt is torn and if the wearer wants to stitch it. it must be taken off, for if it is stitched while on the body the person will soon die. A Moham- medan will never allow barber to come near him on Tuesdays. for Tues days and Saturdays and Sundays are bad days for shaving. If absolutely necessary he will get himself shaved on Saturday or Sunday. but never on Tuesday, as his star is supposed to fall in blood if he does so. If one receives money or some valuable thing, it is taken with the right hand, for if 1t is taken with the left the person re- ceiving it is said to forget all about 1t very soon or to mislay it.

A Formation Borrowed by Wallace
 From the Tlemings.
 The greatest of all Scottish anniver- saries is that of Bannockburn, fought in the year 1914. Apart from it's bear ing on the independence of Scotland, the battle will always have an excep. tional interest from the military point of view, as Bannockburn may be said to have been the birthplace of the British square. Proud Edwards" army mainly consisted of cavalry, while that of the Scots, on the other hand, was almost exclusively composed of foot folk armed with the spear. and these Bruce threw into "schil- tromS." or oblong squares, formation borrowed by Wallace from the Elem ings. who had employed it with sue cess at Courtray to resist the charge of the English cavalry.
 Hitherto the mounted mail clad knight had carried everything before him, but Courtray and Bannockburn proved that he was powerless to break resolute spear armed infantry drawn up in "schiltrom," or hedgehog. forma- lion, and these two battles revolution lzed the tactics of the continent and of our own island. Profiting by the lesson which had been taught them at Bannockburn. the English applied the tactics of the Scots with brilliant success at Crecy and still more at Agincourt As it was the Scots who may be said to have originated the British square at Bannockburn, so it Was they ag;in who at Balaklava were 10 first to discard it with their thin ed line. and HOW. owing to our t:.,n2nA conditions of warfare. it is

Judge Rice's Resignation.

The announcement of the resignation
OF Judge William K. Rice from the bench
Of this judicial district came to his many
friends in Forest county, as indeed 1t
doubtless did throughout the entire dis
trict, like clap of thunder out ofs clear
sky, and caused universal and genuine
regret. Our people had just fairly settled
down to the pleasing contemplation that
they had jurist on the pench who
ranked with the best in the State, and
were congratulating themselves that for
the next eight or nine yeass to come the
judiciary OF this district would be in safe
and able hands.
The resignation is to take effect July
lst. Judge Rice resigns to accept the po-
sition of general solicitor for the Elk
Tanning Company, the Central Pennsyl-
yania Lumber company and the Central
Leather company, aud his duties will be
continei to the state Of Pennsylvania
This important position had been held fol
many years by the late G. II. McCauley
of Ridgway. On July lst Judge Rice
will have served Just Is months, having
assumed the judicial ermine Jan. lst
1909. 1t is pleasure to learn that he will
retain his residence in Warren, Pa.
Who will succeed to the bench Is not
vet known, but in all likelihood it will bt
Watson d. Hinckley, Esq of Warren,
who has been endorsed by both the War
rem and Forest county bar associations
besides very generally signed petitions IL
