tumorous Department. His Generosity Tested. Many writers have declared that an Irish gentleman's hospitality Is unlimited, but this is a slight exaggeration, as is shown by a story borrowed from a book of Irish memoirs. Jerry McCartie was often the guest of friends who, on account of his pleasant ways, extended to him that sort of old Irish hospitality which enabled a visitor in my own family who came for a fortnight, to stay for six years. In McCartie's case the visit stretched to nearly double that time. After eight or nine years, however, his kinsman got a little tired of his guest and let him know of his old mansion's proposed renovation, saying that he had signed a contract for having it painted from garret to cellar. "By George!" said Jerry, "it's fortunate that I don't object to the smell of paint, and it will be well to have some one to keep an eye on the painters now that the wall fruit is ripening." Some months passed. Then his host informed him that he was going to be married, adding, "I thought I'd tell you in good time, so that you could make leisurely preparations to go, as the lady and you may not hit it off as well as you and I do." With tearful eyes, Jerry grasped his cousin's hand, saying: "Oh, Dan, dear, you have my hearty tViomlra for vnn (VlTIBMerallnn' hilt. dear. dear, boy, surely If you can put up with her, I can."?Toronto Saturday Night. Something Practical. ? "William," aaid Aunt Ann Sklles to her husband after the supper dishes had been cleared away, "let's go and hear the lecture tonight" Uncle Billy had forgotten that there was a lecture, and when he was reminded that a returned missionary was going to tell all about India at the church he did not seem over enthusiastic. ' "I oughtn't to go anywhere tonight" grumbled Uncle Billy. "I ought to be doctoring my sick horse." "Well, you're not doing it and you're not likely to do it. Get ready and go." Uncle Billy meekly obeyed. He sat patiently through the lecture, which was both Interesting and profitable. At the close of his discourse the returned missionary said: "I will wait a few minutes now for the purpose of answering any questions that Interested persons in the audience may wish to ask." For half a minute nobody spoke. Then, to the horror of Aunt Ann and the astonishment of the congregation. Uncle Billy leaned forward and asked: "What do they use in India to cure horses that have got the heaves?"? Youth's Companion. Asked the Wrong Man.?During a Methodist conference in Camden some time ago a party of ministers was staying in one of the hotels. At the same time one of the magnates of a big New Jersey corporation was in that town on business and was staying at the same hotel. This magnate affected clerical dress to a great degree, but his intimates and the men who worked for him knew him to be the reverse of clerical, especially as to profanity. After tne morning session of the conference the group of ministers went into the dining room. It happened that the clerical-looking magnate passed in just ahead of the party. A waiter, judging from appearance, gave him a seat at the head of the clergymen's table. The ministers believing that he was attending the conference, perhaps a visiting brother, thought he was one of their party. Therefore one said: "Brother, will you say grace?" "What's that?" the magnate replied. "You'll have to speak a little louder, I'm so deaf I can't hear a thing." ?Philadelphia Times. Not Laughing Matter.?They were gliding round the ballroom to the strains of a soft, dreamy waltz. Suddenly he tripped and fell sprawling to the floor, carrying a goodly portion of his charming partner's gown. Roars of derisive laughter greeted his contortion, and ruefully he extricated himself from the masses of chiffon and lace. Reaching the side of a gentleman whose face had not assumed even the ?hn?? r\t a amile ha hurst out grate O? ? fully: "Sir, you are a gentleman! You are the only man In the room who did not grin when I had the misfortune to tear that lady's dress!" "Don't thank me, my dear sir!" replied he of the stony stare. "The lady happens to be my wife, and I paid for that dress!"?Answers. The Poet's Retort.?Joaquin Miller was once overtaken by a countryman, who gave him a long ride. Tired at length of conversation, the poet took a novel from his pocket. "What are you reading?" said the countryman. "A novel of Bret Harte's," said Mr. Miller. "Well, now, I don't see how an Immortal being wants to be wasting his time with such stuff.' "Are you quite sure," said the poet, "that I am an immortal being?" "Of course you are." "If that is the case," responded Miller, "I don't see why I need be so very economical of my time." Vanitas Vanitatem.?During the French Revolution a thief and a marquis jolted in a tumbril side by side through the wild streets of Paris, on the way to the guillotine, while a venerable priest tried to console their ter rible last ride with moral reflections. "A bas la noblesse! Down with the aristocrats!" shouted the redcapped mob. Thereupon the thief rose in the cart and cried: "My friends, you deceive yourself. I am not an aristocrat. I am a thief." The priest plucked him by the sleeve, saying reproachfully: "Sit down. This is no time for vanity!"?Washington Star. Plain to Be Seen.?A Denver man who visited the museum at City Park recently tells of a farmer he saw there. The ruralist stepped in front of a portrait which showed a man sitting in a high backed chair. There was a small white card on the picture reading: "A portrait of E. H. Smith, by himself." The farmer read the card and then chuckled to himself. "Regular fools these city fellers are," he said. "Anybody who looks at that picture 'ud know Smith's by himself. They ain' no one in the palntin' with him."?Denver Post. ittisffllanrous grading. HALLEY'S COMET. Interesting Story of Approaching Heavenly Visitor. Halley's comet, which had made ltd appearance on schedule time, derives its interest from the fact that it is the comet whose regrular periodical visits were first definitely proved. It takes about seventy years for this body to rrialrA its lrtnc lonrn^v nrnund thp sun. during which time It passes beyond even the orbit of Neptune, the farthest planet from the sun. It visited us in 1835, and it will not be seen again until 1987. The exact dates are uncertain, as the comet is not allowed to go its way unmolested but is pulled this way and that by the action of gravitation of the planets near which it passes on its long flight, and hence its speed is Increased or decreased. The comet bears the name of Edmund Halley, an English astronomer, who in 1682 studied it and proved that its visit were periodical. Millions of people who have looked at this great comet, which visits us every seventy-seven years for a few months and then flies away again beyond the confines of the solar system, have not known that the comet is a brother of the earth, having the same father, the sun. All they understood was that a most wonderful star with a tail hung threateningly over the earth, came from nowhere and vanished leaving terror behind it It appeared again and again, each absence of seventyseven yqars having been practically long enough for those who had seen it on its previous visit to have passed away. Each succeeding century it came, spreading terror until Edmund Halley took away the mystery with which it was surrounded. He simply put it in its place as a member of the sun's family. He calculated the curve flviny It o a norahnlfl I He took up other comets and analyzed their motions, coming to one which had been seen In 1607, which had the identical curve, speed and other elements of the comet of 1682. Halley was amazed. He calculated farther back and came to the one which visited us In 1531, here he found the same elements as before. He then made the step that made his name one of the most prominent connected with astronomy. He risked his reputation and predicted the return of the great comet in 1682, for 1758. Knowing he would not live until its fulfillment, he said to the English astronomers and the great scientists of Europe in his public prediction: "And when it really appears, do not forget that it was an Englishman who first made the prediction of the return of any comet." Halley died sixteen years before the scheduled time for the reappearance of the comet, but as the time approached, astronomers and mathematicians took up the question of the disturbances produced by the big planets and came to the conclusion that Saturn would retard the comet's motion one hundred days. Jupiter five hundred and eighteen days, or a total of six hundred days. m yjT.

The comet actually passed the point on which the calculation had been based, Its perihelion?or point In Its orbit when It Is nearest the sun?on March 12, 1759. This was the first proof that comets, or at least some of them, really belong to the solar system. "It is difficult to imagine at this late day the excitement and gratification produced among astronomers over this triumph of human thought and analysis." This caused hundreds of emin- nt mathematicians and astronomers to compute the elements of comets with the results that nine of them were found to have comparatively small orbits, being within the orbit of Saturn. The comet is described as it first appeared as a slightly oval nebula, without a tail and having a tiny dot of bright light in the center of the nebulous mass. Soon afterwards the tall developed and Increased so rapidly that it stretched over fully twenty degrees of the sky. Then it decreased with equal rapidity until it became only two and one-half degrees in length. During the time of the perihelion passage, the tall was entirely absent but it grew again as the comet began to recede from the sun. The curious thing being that the tail was always on the opposite Bide of the comet from the sun. Many theories were advanced to be disproved until recently it has been proved experimentally that the tall being subject to the action of light pressure more than to the attraclon of gravitation is literally blown away from the comet. This would be Impossible were it not that the tail is composed of such finely divided particles of matter that the pressure of light is greater than the attraction of gravitation. Every since Halley showed that this great comet 01 1001 ana aob^ was a periodical visitor to our neighborhood, astronomers and mathematicians have endeavored to trace the former appearances to earliest historical times and a really accurate list has been prepared giving every return to the comet down to May 15, 240 B. C. (An interesting theory connected with it is that it was the Star of Bethlehem, as one of its returns is said to have occurred about 2 A. D.) The result of this list or table enables several things to be found out; first, that the average time for each complete orbit around the sun, from the twenty-nine known returns, is 76.8 years. The revolution now nearing completion will be even shorter than the hitherto shortest trip recorded. The reason is this 370 days after its perihelion passage in 1835, the comet crossed the orbit of Jupiter, our biggest planet, which reached the same point 152 days later. Although the comet had been speeding away during this time, the pull of mighty Jupiter, even at that distance, served 'to retard the comet's speed, so that it did not quite reach the great distance 3,220,000,000 miles from the sun that it had flown the previous trip. It crossed the orbit of Saturn in 1839, of Uranus in 1844, and of Neptune No other arl y|k \ has ever i Hp J phatic coa parity, asc ^61 always received the hlf Khiblted or tested In coi FEED It is to the interest of every man who ias Horses, Mules, Cows, Hogs and Chickens to feed to see us for the Feed that you will use this year.

Policy Holders While It is a fact that in due time each of you will receive the usual annual address of President Frellnghuysen relative to the record of the Mutual Benefit for the year 1909, still I beg to advise that advance informa tlon Is to the effect that the year Just closed was the most prosperous, from every viewpoint. In the history of the grand old company, and especially with reference to savings by reason of the mortality expense, amounting to nearly $900,000 less than normal, i and because of this fact, notwithstanding the 'dividend scale for 1910 I had already been increased something like 16% over the scale for the previous ten years, the directors have decided that during 1910, $675,000 shall be distributed among the policy holders In the shape of an extra dividend. The dividend will be paid In cash to those who have paid up policies, and will be applied to still further reducing the premium of those not fully j paid up. This is but another illus| tratlon of the fact that the manageI ment never retains the money of policy holders beyond the amount necesi sary to absolutely safeguard the latter's interests. In this connection I beg to advise that there are now in force in York county nearly 350 policies, representing about $525,000 insurance on the lives of her citizens, 1 the individual policy holders carrying from $1,000.00 to $15,000.00 and from one to five policies each. It is to your nterest, as well as that of your neighbors and friends, that you assure them of the fact that you have round the Mutual Benefit to be all that was claimed for it, and more. SAM M.
