Social Etiquette.

If there is any place where the amen
tiles of life should be freely exchanged
it is, in the opinion of Good Hossekeep-
ing, at home. Courtesy should be the
rule, not the exception. It prevents
jarring, it dissipates moodiuess, it
heals wounds, it ennobles human ma
ture. 1t is wonderful in its subduing
influences, it is contagious, it extends
to the whole household. The boy,
with inward pride over his fathers
courteous demeanor, will be chivalrous
and helpful to his younger sisters.
The girls will initiate their mothers in
gentleness and patience, even when
big brothers are noisy and needless.
Even the domestics will show their
appreciation
1t seems strange that man will
speak more rudely to his wife than to
any other lady, or that brother will
he harsh to his sister, while to her fe-
male friend he is everything that is re-
spectfql perfect gentlemen in society
but Doors within their own homes. It
is sad commentary to say that some,
nay many, mothers, wives and sisters
are indebted for most of. the politeness
shown them to those who are not
members of the household.
Family ties are designed to make us
sociable. We are not made to live
alone. We must have a heap of en-
bers to keep glowing fire. If we
scatter them they will flicker and die.
In the same way, if we want to live q
healthy and vigorous life, we must
have group of lives to afford comfort,
encouragement and support. Courtesy
is mighty in its influence to glorify the
home and to benefit the world, IN. o.

A Joke on Burleigh.

A story is told in the corridors of the
Delavan which is "on" Hon. Henry G.
Burleigh, Of Whitehall. He was seat
ed not long ago on sofa talking wth
Railroad Commissioner Baker, when
well-dressed young man stepped up to
the telegraph desk and began writing
dispatch.
"See here, Burleigh," remarked Mr..
Baker suddenly, II want to make lit
tie bet with YOU"
The surrounding politicians pricksd
up their ears.
''What about 7" asked the Whitehall
wizard curiously.
"AbOut sure thing, of course" was
the reply. "Do you see that yourg
man at the telegraph desk and the
nice seal skin gloves beside him
want to bet you that he walks off when
he has finished his business and forgets
to take those gloves"
Nonsense" was the sage rejOlnder.
"He would not forget anything so va
luable."
After few minutes chatting the bet
was made and the surrounding group
drew nearer to watch the result. Mr..
Burleigh looked skeptical and Mr.. Ba-
ker cOntented.
Finally the stranger buttoned his
coat an d turned to go, but he left the
gloves.
"Hold on" shouted Mr.. Burleigh af-
ter the retreating stranger, "you have
fOrgotten"-
I "Sit down, Burleigh," said Mr.. Baker
calmly, "sit down. Those are my
gloves"
Then the watching multitude smiled
9 moist, ederous smile, and the bet was
paid.-Albany Express.

Gently shot while addressing meeting

The Omaha Herald speaking of the
possible successor of Gen. Terry says:
''Partisans of Gen. Miles are pushing that
officer forward with a haste and impetu-
osity not in good taste. Hardly had Gen.
Terry ceased to breathe before q petition
in favor of Gen. Miles was on its way
from the Pacific coast. So soon was this
launched that there is room for the sus-
picion that it was prepared even before
Gen. Terry had laid down his sword.
Such hurry is unsccmly. A scramble for
dead mems shoes is no more commenda-
be in the army thar out Of it. Gen
Miles is II good soldier. No one will deny
that he is a good soldier. Gen. Crook is
also a good soldier and he has been in the
service ten years longer than Gen. Miles -
There are hosts of friends of Gen.
Crook in the west who would rejoice over
his promotion.

SHIFTING AT pRUssIc ACID.
A Coroner Finds Out How the 0uickes
of all PoIsons Works.

A Coroner Finds Out How the Quickest
of all PoIsons Works.
Deputy Coroner Scholer, who narrowly
escaped death recently from smiling at the
bottle from which Miss Mary Van Orden
had drunk prussic acid and died, told a
reporter about it.
"With me in Miss Van Orden's ROOM"
he said, twas DIR. J. f. Terriberry. We
had been told that Miss Van Orden
was in the habit of taking morphine, and
as l had not yet been told that she had
bought prussic acid, l supposed l was
going to smell of Majendie's solution. 1
passed the vial WI found back and forth
under my nose three or four times and
got a good sniff of the acid. 1t has a
sweet, almond flavor, pungent and not at
all disagreeable. Then 1 passed the bottle
to DR.. T~erriberry, and he took q sniff. 1
noticed that he was growing pale. Then
/ began to feel faint and weak myself.
"Dr. Terriberry and 1 clutohed each
other and reeled. Either would have
fallen without the support of the other. 1
held on to him and called for fresh air.
We were led to the door and down two or
three flights of stairs. 1t was with the
greatest difficulty that l drew my breath.
My consciousness was perfect, but 1 had
no control of my arms or hands or of my
lower limbs. When l tried to step I raised
hEIOoS bWO lG6O lTOh IDe ground, ana
when 1 tried to feel of my pulse 1 could
not use my hands. noticed that the blood
had left the finger nails and that my
hands were white as chalk. All through
my body it seemed as though the blood
were driving oward my heart. How /
got to the drug store at Ninth avenue and
Forty-eighth street l don't know. A
young man there said sulphate of mag
nesia was an ntido for prussic acid, but
it isn't. / took the dose, however, and
then was led to the Forty-seventh street
police station. Capt. Killilea prescribed
brandy, and as he believes in large doses,
he gave me so much that I was drunk
after taking it. l told Capt. Killilea of my
difficulty in breathing, and told him how
to move my arms up and down. He
lifted n window in the police station and
worked my arms like n pump for a long
time, causing an artificial movement of
the ribs.
'Then l was taken to the Roosevelt
hospital, and a physician gave me n dose
of carbonate of ammonia. In two hours
| felt better and came home. l havs
been very weak since. 1t seems as
though L had nc marrow in my bones. /
have been requested to write statement
of the experience for n medical journal,
and ! think 1 shall do so. DR.. Terri
berry told me today that he has
been very sick. He was tormented
by the most frightful Nightmares when he
tried to sleep. 1 didn't have a night
mare, perhaps, because of the brandy

The one in the British museum was
found a quarter of n century ago in q
deep closet, built in the thick walls of an
old farm house in Derbyshire. 1t is said
that a laborer, engaged in pulling down
the walls of the ancient house, recog-
nized it as that from which his father
had been taught to read. Upon the back
is a picture of Charles l on horeback,
giving some approximation to its date.
1t is n single leaf, containing upon the
front side the alphabet, large and small,
in old English and Roman letters, ten
short columns of m~onysyllables founded
on the vowels, and the Lords Prayer; all
set in n frame of oak, now black with
age, and protected by n slice of trans
parent horn, hence the name horn book.
There is handle by which to hold it, and
in the handle a hole for n string, so it
could hang from the girdle. A picture
of 1920 represents q child running in
leading strings, with a horn book tied to
her side.
A cheaper kind of horn book had the
leaf of printed paper pasted upon the
horn, and perhaps the greater number
were made in this way. If so, it is not
singular they should be scarce, for they
would be very easily destroyed.-Chris-
tan at Work.

The Swiss archaeological journal, An
tiqua, states that several manufactures
of spurious antiquities have recently been
established in the Alpine valleys, in the
hopes, perhaps, of large profits from
American tourists. I'm the little town
of Concise, on the lake of Neufchatel, is
a flourishing establishment for the pro-
duction of relics of the lake dwellers,
who, in prehistoric times, lived in huts
built on piles over the waters of most of
the Swiss lakes. Near Schaffhausen is
said to be another factory, where bones
are engraved with outline representations
of reindeer, bears, foxes and so on, and
sold as genuine relics of the cave dwell
ers, who really scratched such images OIL
bones many thousand years ago., when
the reindeer inhabited the south of
Europe. In still another place near the
Lake of Neufchatel is n factory of relics
Of the stone and bronze ages, consisting
of stone bracelets, bone bits for horses,
bronze knives and ornaments and other
objects, which are, when finished, sent to
the brio a brac shops at Berne and else
where for sale. New York Tribune,

His hair, which is snowy white and hangs

often take him for the late Rev. Henry

high altitude of Wyoming DIR. Garrard

The discovery by the inhabitants of a
locality hitherto unvisited by the pestilent
scourgc of fever and ague, that it exists

Besides the febrile forms of malarial

a Nashville furniture dealer tells a lit
tie story that shows how some people are
constituted. A lady ordered an elegant
easy chair of q peculiar kind. 1t was
made and sent to her house. She exam
incd it carefully and critically, finally re-
marking that it suited her exactly, with
one eXception-it was too soft. She had
the man take the chair back to be made
n tritle harder. The chair was returned
TO the store and put aside. Nothing was
done to it. After the lapse Of about n
week the chair was sent out again. The
oma again examined it, and this time
the chair wa too hard. She was sorry,
but when she paid so much to get an
article for her own comfort she wanted
it about right, SO she sent it back to the
store for another change. The chair was
again put aside for n week or ten days
and sent out for the third time without
having a particle of change made. This
time it IA just right. She took the
chair, paid for 1t, and was sorry it had
not suited her at first. The poor woman
never knew that the chair had not been
changed n particle. -Chicago News.

A WINTER ELE.

Too cold 1t was 10 ride or walk:
A little elf swung on n marigold stalk,
The marigold flowers were fallen and dead,
The marigold flowers were shrouded in snow,
A bitter wind rushed to and fro,
And all the violets were abed.
The little elfs nose was sorry and blue,
But the little elfs self was jolly all through;
And as he swung from side to side,
He sang his song with an air Of pride:
'Out o. the wool o. the chestnut buds :
My Minnie spun my hose and jerkin;
OF a bats wing made my cloak, a.
Warm enough to wrap n Turk in; ESh
Lined them all with thistle down, VI
Gathered when the pods were brown; { - =
Trimmed them with a rabbits fur, =

"a Description of the Persian Mon
nrchy'' and other travels by TIL. Herbert,
begun in 1916, is the title of n rare book,
lately in the possession of A. Wanless,
the antiquarian bookseller of Detroit.
Herbert was one of the old style of travel
crs, who coasted rouhd the continent of
Africa and felt qualified to tell of the
manner and customs of every nation by
spending n day or two in port or in the
interior. He tells of the women of An
COLA that they assemble on the mountain
tops at the appearance of the new moon
and go through some strange exercises
of idolatrous worship; that the men
are cannibals-preferring rather to de
Your their friends than their enemies,
and ''have shambles of men and wo-
mems flesh joynted and cut in several
morsels, N some, weary of life, volun-
tarily proffer themselves unto the
butchers, who are accordingly killed and
eaten" The book is well illustrated for
SO ancient aspecimen, with copper plate
engravings. The pictures partake of the
romancing ways of the old traveller and
give some odd views of sharks, penguins,
flying fish and boobies, to say nothing of
landscapes, wild and domestic animals
and human beings.
An interesting chapter in the book is
n discourse to prove that Madoc APP Owen
Gwynedd, a WEIGH prince, discovered
America. The account makes out that
he sailed A. ID. ITO and landed in the
Gulf of Mexico, not far from the Florida
peninsula. He left as n colony 100
Welshmen and went back for more, and
returned with ten banks, but was never
heard of again. The proof alleged is
certain Welsh legends and the identity of
many Indian names of places with words
of Cimbrian speech. Detroit Free Press.

Fronchmon Not ON Their Muscle.

The Frenchman cares little to contest in
anything where mere muscular ability is
at an advantage, says n Partisan visitor.
He pursues sport as he does art-striving
TO develop its fine points, aiming to be-
come expert n admiring only the skill
that may be attained in the exercise. We
have no such thing as a national game,
nothing that approaches to your baseball,
or polo, or the English cricket. Sport
with us means, as n rule, horse racing,
and undoubtedly our jockeys, of whom
we think highly, would compare favor
ably with the best that his country
knows. The exercise that really occupies
our attention rs a national institution is
fencing, and that probably arises from the
military character of the national life.
Much Of the energy that the American
youth puts into play and physical contests
is absorbed by the government in recruit
ing the army. Here the boys of the vii
lagc have to provide their own amuse-
ments, their own exercises, and have to
depend upon themselves for acquiring the
discipline that is so essential to really sue
cessful sport. With us the government
provides the exercise and the discipline,
and if the young man can get any amuse-
out of it so much the better for them. 1t
is the next war that is always uppermost
in every F~renchman's mlnd.-New York
Cor. Philadelphia Times.
