Order Consistent in Ligonier. v Ligonier celebrated Thanksgiving day in the traditional manner with family dinners and religious services. There was a general recess from labor, factories, stores, banks and public buildings being closed. The white blanket of snow which covered the city and surrounding country carried the suggestion that the holiday was Christmas rather than Thanksgiving. The low temperature which prevailed throughout the day tended to keep all except the very hardy indoors to enjoy the hospitality of the fireplace or of the furnace. The turkey was the piece de resis-

tance on many a family board, just , as his untamed ancestors are said to ‘ have been featured at the first Thanks ~ glving of the Pilgrim Fathers of Plymouth in the fall of 1621. But the turkey by no means had the board all to himself for the duck, goose and chicken were also great favoriites.

Bible Evidently Little Used

A new way has been discovered to raise money at the LaGrange Methodist church. They shake up the big Bible on the pulpit and ten dollar bills drop out. Last Saturday J. B. Clugston was preparing the church for the Sunday services and dropped the Bible off the pulpit. An old $lO bill dropped out. No one knows how many decades it has been hidden away in the old Bible or how and why it was placed there. The pastor Rev. F. H. Cremen placed the $lO bill on the collection plate Sunday morning.—LaGrange News.

Physical lils of Anis - ' Like Those of Humans Ants rival humans not only in the complexity of their social structure but In the intricacy of their ailments. An insane ant, a Jnique phenonienon in scientific annals, has been reported by Dr. Robert Staeger of Berlin, according to Science Service, While observing a colony of common Kuropean species of ants. Doctor Staeger noticed one individual running around and around in eircles. It attacked members of its own colony that came in its way and behaved in an otherwise abnorwal fashion. The circles always bore to the right, and after.a few days the insect’'s right feet and antenna began to drag. Uircnmstances came about that made it impossible for Doctor Staeger to watch the ant any longer, so he killed it and sent it to Dr. Rudolf Brun of Zurich, a specialist Interested in such matters. Microscopic dissection revealed a tumor on-the left side of the insect’s brain, a condition that apparently has not been reported in scientific literature before. In this brain, no bigger than a small pinhead, the nerve fibers cross each other ju’st as they do in man’s, so that injury on the left side caused difficulties with the members on the right side of the body. :

Had Reasons for Being . Thankful for Baldness Everybody seems to have something to be thankful about. Being bald has its beneficial points, too, a New York Sun reporter found out. : . While getting his shoes shined the other day in City Hall park, New York, the Sun’s Rays reporter wondered what shoe shiners think about. The shoe shiner happened to be a bald-headed man without a hat. ° “That wind must be cold on your head, isn’t it? the reporter asked. “Oh, I don’t mind it,” the man replied. “I'd rather be bald than have long hair hanging in my eyes while working. If T was a smart man I could figure out how much time is wasted by the voung sheiks who have to keep brushing their hair back.” “Well, you don’t have to worry about haii cuts very muc)h, either, do you?”’ the reporter snggested. “No,” he said. *My wife cuts what little hair I have and she gets so much fun out of it that she pays me a dime every time I let her cut my hair.”

Straight Steel Lines

Two of the longest stretches of railroad without a curve, are: The 72-mijle stretch on the Rock Island lines from Gumon, Okla., to Dalhart, Texas. -At Dalhart there is a quarterdegree curve and then it goes on for 25 miles farther: without a curve. The Seaboard airline in Florida has eight curves in 200 miles. It is said that on the Argentine-Pacific railway to the foot of the Andes, there is aystretch of 200 miles without a eurve or a cutting or an embankment deeper than three feet. On the Australian TransContinental railway crossing the Nullarbor plain, there is a straight-away of 300 miles. :

Science and Humor

It is a curious fact that science, a serious and ponderous subject, sometimes conceals behind it a very keen sense of humor, else why the birth of “Alice in Wonderland,” not from the brain of a professional humorist, but out of the whimsies of one Lewis Carroll, as he makes his escape from the precisions of mathematical calculations propounded by his scholastic self? No one learning that fine poem on trees, by Joyce Kilmer, would ever suspect that it had been said of him that whenever he touched the grindstone of life, there flew up a shower of sparks.—lndianapolis News. »

Sheepherder and Shepherd

It is necessary to differentiate between the sheepherder of fact and the shepherd of romance. The latter is a gay and poetic figure, the former anything but. The shepherd leads his flock with a song, the herder follows his with profanity. The shepherd reclines on a mossy bank beneath a green tree and carols a roundelay. The herder looks carefully about to make sure he won't sit on a cactus, eases his wearied limbs to the unshaded hillside, and gives his vocal organs a well-earned rest.—From ‘Sheep,” by Archer B. Gilfillan.

Bargain

Four-year-old Billy is a regular attendant of Sunday school. One Sunday morning mother and Billy were checking up on the Sunday school lesson, and mother asked: : . “Now tell me what today’s lesson is about?” < “Oh, all about Abraham,” replied the child promptly. : “And who else?” “Oh, yes—about Lot.” “And what about Lot?” Billy, reflectively: “I think it was a vacant lot.”

L Inn of Dickens’ Time

The old inn in Southwark, England, made famous by Dickens in Little Dorrit, is over three hundred and fifty years old, and was in its day one of the most famous- coaching houses in England. Its long, low parlor, the wooden balcony’s balustrading hardly more than six feet above the ground, and the old-fashioned bedrooms leading on to it still remain. In many of these bedrooms there are still in use the great four-poster beds of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth centuries.

Old Indian Legend of “Arch of Evening Star” One of the sights on. the island of Mackinac is a natural arch of rock which is cssociated with a. poetie Indian- legend, and was known among the Iroquois as ‘“the arch of the evening star.”

A chief's daughter loved the son of the evening star, very much against her father’s wishes, so he bound her to a rock in such a position that she could not see the star. The lovelorn maiden wept so long and so copiously that her tears melted the rock’s hard heart and formed an areh through which she could gaze at the star. v So devoted was her love and So happy was she at seeing the star once more that she was unmindful of physfcal suffering. Touched by such constancy, the Gredt Spirit bore her through the arch to the eveni.z star, where she dwells in eternal ha;piness with her beloved. e

Many years ago a boy went into-an examination room with a new pen in his hand. He had great hopes of the new pen, but when he found he had failed in the examination he took his pen aside and gave it a good talking to. : : “This won’t do, old boy,” hé told the pen. “Somehow you and I have got to redeem this failure.” : : The pen must have understood, for

the bey became Sir Arthur QuillerCouch, the famous author, and in telling this story of his early days he mentioned that all the books he had written under the pen name of “Q.” had beem produced with the help of that very pen.—London Tit-Bits.

Singing for Exercise Besides being a pleasure to the singer and sometimes to those around, the act of singing is a better exercise than most persons have any thought of. It is good exercise for the throat. lungs and chest’ and now it is recommended for the ears, A western physician who is call upon to do a great deal of riving over the country sayvs that after a particularly hard experience of this kind his ears always seem to. be affected, probably by tho noises of the car and vibration of the engine. In this event he raises up his voice and sings to the best of his ability, and this treatment soon relieve§ the ears. -

The late Benjamin N. Duke of tobacco fame, advocated a liberal rather than ja penurious &pirit in the handling of ‘money. - Mr. Duke said one night in a Y. M. C. A. address in Durham: “If you are mean and grasping ‘in your youth, the habit will grow on you, and you'll get no enjoyment out of money in your old age, even it you're a millionaire. _ :

“An old millionaire of this kind bought a cheap radio set. Somebody asked him afterwards how he liked it. “¢Oh, he grumbled, ‘it's pretty fair to listen to, but the bulbs aren’t much good to read by.”.

Do you like to hear music while you are dining? Some folks do and others don't. Cheerful, pleasant airs are thought to aid digestion, but those that are sad or so striking that they quite absorb ‘the listener's attention are deemed not so good. " In a Boston restaurant where the versatile orchestra will play anything a diner may request, a patron was asked what he would like the orchestra to play. o “If it is agreeable to everybody else,” said the diner, “I wish they would please play checkers till I finish my dinner.”—Boston Globe,

The Ligurian language which was spoken in Europe 3,000 years ago survives only in the names. of a few rivers, lakes and mountaing, says the Living Age. One of these names is that of the Rhone. A contributor to the “Journal de Geneve” has traced the history ef that stream back to the Bronze age, when a dark-haired race inhabited the forests of France and Switzerland and left behind them no written language, but only -such familiar words as “Alp, “Seine” and “Leman.” S gt e D
