Troglodytes of Tunisia
Back in the mountain ranges of Tunisia are various tribes of “troglodytes”
or cave-dwellers, living today about the same as did their ancestors many cen
turies ago. A typical town of these people is Medenlne, which consists of
thousands of caveshaped dwellings, made of native cement and stone, su
perposed upon each other to the height of four or five stories. The Arab
name for these curious houses Is “rhorfa.” Medenine acts as a high store
house for about 20,000 people, semi-nomads, living in the great plains, peo
ple of the tribes of Ourghamma. The town has been built in great ovals or
horseshoes, each tribe or district to itself to prevent sterling. Armed men
guard tl ese orecincts.
Signs of the Times.
“I see the young lady next door has
a beau.” “She assures me that it is
purely a platonic affection.” “In that
case you had better look over some
thing cheap in clocks, or something
Df that kind.”
ALL INVITED TO COME HOME.
The following- list comprises another installment of the names
and addresses of former residents of Frostburg, now living outside
this county, registered by friends here for use of the Centennial

It is proposed by the latter body to supplement the general
invitation, already extended, by one special to each Frostburger, so
that as individuals they may be assured of a home desire to see
them at home; of a warm welcome when they come, and the tender
of generous hospitality while they stay.
The names, arranged alphabetically, will appear in succeeding
issues of the Journal until all are orinted.
Meanwhile, should anyone observe that a name has been over
looked, or an address given incorrectly, an immediate report to the
Journal is solicited, as the Committee is anxious to specially

FACTORY WORKERS’ PARKS
Pennsylvania Manufacturer Lays Out
Permanent Grounds About His
Buildings.
In a large town in Pennsylvania the
owner of a factory started to lay out
ornamental grounds about his build
ings and everybody marveled. Flow
er beds and green lawns made their
appearance, vines clambered over the
buildings and shade trees reared their
heads in places needing’ shade. And
still the people marveled. Soon aft
erwards a new' lot was bought, an of
fice building erected, the upper story
was fitted up for a recreation room,
tables, a hundred chairs, magazines,
newspapers, etc., were furnished, and
the announcement made that the room
would be kept open Sunday after
noons. At this stage the curiosity of
the people was so aroused that they
asked for an explanation.
The factory owner stated that his
business was prospering, enlargement
contemplated and so he had recently
made a tour of inspection to factory
districts noted for business success,
no strikes or labor disturbances and
the improvements to be seen resulted
from that trip to the best industrial
centers. To be brief, satisfied em
ployes are a business man’s best as
set, for without a certain amount of
loyalty no concern can endure. This
view has evidently come to be the gen
eral one, for factory owners for the
comfort of employes is now looked to
both indoors and out. Some firms,
and even some cities, are noted for
the landscape beauty on their factory
grounds. Some have gone so far as
to plant grapevines as ornaments so
employes may enjoy fresh grapes in
season. Everything for beauty and
comfort is provided in summer and
fireplaces, games, etc., take care of
idle moments in winter.
ADD BEAUTY TO THE STREET
Park-like Effect Is Easily Given by
Using a Little Care in
Planting.
With informal planting in a wide
parkway a park-like effect could be
given on each side of the street that
would go far toward counteracting the
harsh, monotonous lines of formality
in curb, sidewalk and property line;
also the flatness and insufficiency of
it all from a standpoint of beauty of
outlook. Street trees could be planted
at various distances between curbs,
. singly, in twos and in threes, inter
spersed with clumps of shrubbery.
This would give a narrow park-like
effect on each side and could the
walks be included the effect would be
rendered still more beautiful and pic
turesque. The walks could gently
curve from near one side to the other;
the curves not so abrupt or pro
nounced as to deter the hurrying pe
destrian from covering the shortest
distance between two given points,
yet enough to give beauty and vari
ety to the whole that would prove
very satisfying to ajl observers. All
herein outlined has been carried out
in many places, not ali abroad, but in
our own country—in Chicago, for ex
ample—therefore there is nothing im
practicable about it. The chief draw
back is that the returns are not quipk
enough for our wild-cat real estate
boomers. Few can be found suffi
ciently unselfish or generous enough
to plant for future generations and
nothing worthy of emulation in this
line may be built on a less stable
foundation.
Philadelphia Park Development.
The trend is altogether for a more
widely diffused city with many open
spaces and green areas freely distrib
uted. Public-spirited citizens have
contributed to this by their gifts. The
City Parks association is a develop
ment of this movement and is a most
active agent. Its twenty-third annual
report, just issued, presents us with
the conception of a greater park sys
tem, which shall checkerboard with
green parked driveways many of the
choice spots and wooded ravines with
in twenty miles or more of Philadel
phia. Highways which were once re
garded merely as a means to get some
where are now viewed as important
in themselves, a source of pleasure and
comfort to those who use and enjoy
them.—Philadelphia Press.
The Poet's Mission.
“I can’t see,” the poet’s wife com
plained, “why you don’t give up writ
ing poetry and go in for something
that might be more profitable.”
“My dear, you don’t understand the
poet’s mission.”
“I suppose I don’t. I wish you’d tell
me what it is.”
“Can’t you see how great a boon I
am conferring upon posterity? A hun
dred years from now orators will be
quoting my lines Without mentioning
me, and it will be supposed that they
themselves are the authors of them,
just as orators of the present day
embellish their speeches with quota
tions from poets who have long been
dead, without taking the trouble to
mention the fact that they were bor
rowing.”
“But how will that help you?”
“It won’t help me at all. But do
you want oratory to become a lost
art?”
HENRY F. COOK, Manager.

Girl o’ Mine.
To Beulah—On Her Sixteenth Birth
day- -Monday, July 15, 1912.
For ages bards have sung
Of maids with golden hair;
But with this dark-haired girl o’ mine
No other can compare.
Her eyes like violets are
When bathed in morning dew ;
Beneath her ivory dark-fringed lids
They lie in heavenly blue.
For me she has no peer !
Go search where’er you will
For beauty rare ! yet, iu my eyes,
She’ll be more lovely still!
And while she may be fair
For other eyes to see —
’Tis just the beauty of the soul
Which makes her fair to me.
God help me live aright,
And keep my own heart good !
That I may guide this pure young life
To perfect womanhood !
Sara Roberta Getty.
CONTINUOUS PERFORMANCE.
Poet —In winter I write poems to
keep the wolf from the door.
Admiring Friend —Yes —
Poet-—And in summer 1 have to
keep on writing poems so the iceman
will stop at the door.
The Sick.
Mrs. George W. Griffith, 120 Mechan
ic street, underwent surgical treat
ment in a Cumberland hospital Friday
of last week and is recovering.
William Bradley, of Pittsburg, Pa.,
is here with his parents—Mr. and Mrs.
Benjamin Bradley, recovering from a
recent illness.
Cross-Country Missionary.
Robert’ Bell, “Cross-Country Evan
gelist,” was in town a few days this
week.
He held an open-air meeting at the
band-stand Monday evening.
This young man, from the State of
Minnesota, is manifestly earnest in his
effort to give practical views of the
Religion of Christ; that it is “the one
thing-needful” in every age and phase
of life.
Mr. Bell is walking “across country”
on a 1,000-mile campaign through mine
towns, lumber-camps, quarries and
cross-road settlements.
He left here to take in Cumberland.
In his own words, Evangelist Bell
“is doing inter-denominational work
on an experience tour.”
KISSING ALMOST LOST ART
Most Women, Says London Paper,
Forget Neatness and Are Vigor
ous and Wild.
It is surprising that with all the
kissing that goes on in our so-called
civilized England, so little advance
should have been made in the science
of bestowing -a kiss. Very few per
sons understand the art. Neatness
is forgotten, and the first impulse of
the kissee is to wipe away all traces
of the offending salute as speedily as
may be consistent with politeness.
Others deliver a peck upon the
cheeks, and, in some cases, by no
means a small peck. There are vigor
ous women whose buffetings are quite
enough to produce a toothache in a
sensitive jaw. Their kisses jar the
kissee’s whole head. One never knows
where the wild kisses of others may
alight. With inward shrinking one
offers a cheek, wondering what may
be going to happen to it, and the re
sult often justifies one’s worst fears.
The poor cheek is discomfited by the
assault of lips that have had no train
ing in the art of osculation.—London
Express.
