The biggest and most mysterious building job on record may be said to have been the construction of the great wall of C&ina, planned by the Emperor Chin Ize Wang, 214 B. C. The length of the wall was 1.250 miles, up bill and down dale, with a width and height of fifteen and twenty feet re spectively. How the wan was built of brick and granite In a region en tirely destitute of clay to make the former and bare of the latter Is a problem which has never been solved. Fifty thousand men were employed In Its construction, and so wen did they do their .work that, although In many places the wan has fallen into decay, there are stfll considerable portions of ft intact. nmatfceraklte. "Blatherskite' Is an Americanism, or, rather, an old word which has sur vived chiefly In American usage. The way it came to be popular here Is curious. It is really the old Scottish bletherskate," from "blether," to talk nonsense (old Norse "bladhr," non sense), and "skate," a term of op probrium. In the song "Maggie Lau der," written about 1650, occur the words, "Jog on your gait, ye blether skate," and this song was a very pop ular one In the American camp during the war of Independence; hence the vogue of the expressive word In Its Americanized form. 'Bletberumskite! was the Irish version early In the nine teenth century. Advice te Teachers. "Never try to teach what you do not yourself know and know well. If your school board Insists on your teaching anything and everything decline firmly to do it. It Is an imposition alike on pupils and teacher to teach that which he does not know. Those teachers who are strong enough should squarely re fuse to do such work. This much need ed reform is already beginning In our colleges, and I hope it will continue. It Is a relic of mediaeval times, this idea of professing everything. When teach ers begin to decline work which they cannot do weU Improvements begin to come In. If one would be a successful teacher he must firmly refuse work which be cannot do successfully." Alexander Agassis. lea am Belt. Cecil Rhodes and Alfred Beit were equally undemonstrative. A great scheme of Rhodes was once collaps ing when Wernher and Beit came to tke rescue and saved it Beit for his firm Wernher A Belt took up the obligations. Rhodes said simply, "That's an right," but the following day, as Belt and he stood together at the bar in the Kunbarley club, ha abruptly asked the steward for half a dosen promissory note forms, signed them In blank and stuffed them Into Beit's pocket, saying: "You've backed me. If things go wrong youTl want same too." In the success the notes were forgotten by both and were hand ed back some six months later. T Care Savrlna. "At a banquet." said an editor, "I once heard Jerome K. Jerome make a speech on snoring. I remember that It ended with these words: To cure snoring. It is advised that a piece of soap be dropped into the mouth of the snorer. The oil In the soap wul lubri cate the pharynx and other Lathi parts of the throat. This remedy musi be applied with caution; otherwise the snorer will arise and lubricate the floor with the person who dropped in the soap.' " A WLmMm at the A few weeks ago a little dog had to be taken by force from the grave of bis austress In Roydon churchyard, Eng land. The affair has reminded the bishop of Barking of an incident In tke same village when be was officiating at the funeral of the late vicar. He says: "After tke coffin had been placed In the chancel and Just as the service was beginning a little robin hopped up the center aisle, glancing to right and left at the villagers and mourners, and anally alighted on theaoffin, wkere as fan service proceeded lie sung a few notes at Intervals.

While in the country last week we noticed; several of the farmers husking corn and this week they will commence in dead earnest. From all indications the crop will be a large one and even the late corn will yield well owing to the late frost. A very pretty wedding took place at the Holy family church on Tuesday morning, October 16th at 9 o'clock when Miss Threeia Korth became the wife of John Bittner. Father Babanus spoke the words that united the happy couple in holy wedlock. After the ceremony the relatives enjoyed a moat sumptuous dinner at the home of the bride's par ents, Mr. and Mrs. John Korth. In the evening a wedding dance was given at the opera house at which a large crowd of relatives and friends were present and enjoyed a jolly good time. Mr. and Mrs. Bittner will reside on a farm south of Lindsay. We, with tbe rest of the many friends, extend heartiest good wishes for many years of wedded bappin CBESTON. From The Statesman. W. N.

Mr. and Mrs. Z. T. Moran left on Monday for Tekamab,or a visit with their son Ezra, before returning to their home in Missouri. HUMPHREY From The Democrat: Phillip Weidner and John Stoffel left yesterday morning for Portland, Oregon, to make their permanent residence pro vided they find the climate and work to their liking. Phillip is a good carpenter and John is a good brick layer, and ae tbey are both not afraid to work there is no danger that they will not get along in good shape. The Democrat wishes them success anyway. The Farmers Grain and Stock Co. of Humphrey have purchased the elevator at this place owned by the Omaha Ele vator Co. .and the new organization will take possession Nov. 10, 1906. Tbe secretary of tbe organization is sending out notices to tbe stock holders to p ty the amount they subscribed for building or buying an elevator by Nov. 10. Al Edwards of Cornlea and Miss Josie Reiss of this place were united in mar riage at Elgin Wednesday where the bride went a few days ago on a visit to friends and relatives. Tbe young couple have arrived in Cornlea where we under stand they will make their home. Tbe Democrat joins a host of friends in ex tending hearty congratulations. Supervisor Clother of Platte Center, was in town Tuesday calling on friend. He and Supervisor Schure had been out near Ad Alderson's place to inspect a bad piece of road and determine the best way to repiiir it. It is the road run ing east and west by Mr. Alderson's place and the little creek that runs along one side of it is washing away so much of the road that it is becoming al most impassable. J. C. Schaefer and daughter, May, went down to Columbus Wednesday to visit Mrs. Schaefer who is in St Mary's hospital. Mr. Schaefer will leave today for Indiana to visit his aged mother who has been seriously ill for some time and is not expected to live. We hope Mr. Sehaefer will find bis mother much improved in health when he gets there and that she will soon be restored to good health. It has been a number of years since Mr. Schaefer visited his old home. PLATTB CKNTEB Fran Tbe Signal. Mrs. L. S. Morton, mother of Mrs. A. G.

' Nourishment in Skim Mine. In skimming milk the cream re moved lessens the fat percentage, aad for older people or fat children the skim milk is equally desirable, la some cases better. In eating apples the skin, too, should be eaten. Pared apples -are not so nutritious, as the ash contents of the apple skin are valuable to tbe human system. English Tavern iK A tavern sign seen in various part of England is "The Dog's Head la a Pot," accompanying the painting of a dog eating out of a three-legged pot, which may seem to mean that tke kost is kind and his viands good. Another significant sign is "Five Miles from Anywhere. No Hurry," asea ia Hamp shire, a pleasant reminder that it la aa tareable place to linger. Origin of "Schooner." Schooner" Is a word of Americas lufacture. At Gloucester, Mass, about 1713 CapL Andrew Robinson baUt tke first vessel called by that name. As it slid 0 the stocks lato the water ajbystaadar aaouted: "Oh, how she scoons!" (skuas). Robinson Instantly said: "A acooaer let her be." The name has been aniversall) adopted, but, singularly enough, is speUed In the Dutch manner, though It Is provincial English. Tendency ef Ftoh to Decompose, Fish; because of its tendency rapid ly to decompose, holds a peculiar poal tioB among foods.
