A BREACH OF MANNERS.
Travellers Dreadful Break at South
American Feast.

a Iraveler's Dreadful Break at South
American Feast.
Probably there is no people in tha
world SO uncivilized as not to have
among themselves code Of manners
more or less distinctly defined. Mr..
Bishop while on his 1,OOO-mile walk
across South America was impressed
with this fact says Youths Compan-
Ion. He describes a rude meal which
he shared with company of cart
almost savage gauchos',-
In whose company he was then travel
ing.
We encamped near swamp and
supped upon sliced pumpkins. boiled
with bits OF meat and seasoned with
salt The meal was served in genu-
Inc pampa fashion; one iron spoon
and two cows horns split in halves,
were passed around the group. the
members of which squatted upon their
Launches and freely helped themselves
from the kettle.
Even in this most unciyilized form
OF satisfying hunger there is a pecul-
lar etiquette which the most lowly
peon invariably observes. Each mem
Der OF the company in turn dips his
spoon or horn into the center of the
stew and draws it in line toward
him. never allowing it TO deviate to
the right or the left
by observing this rule each person
eats without interfering with his
nelghbor. Being ignorant of this
custom. dipped my horn in at ran
dom and tished about for some of the
nice bits.
MY companions regarded this hor
ria breach of etiquette with scowls of
lmpatlence. They declared with
some warmth. to the cook that grin

A HARD-WoRKlNG WOMAN,

ALI day she hurried to get through,
The same as lots Of wimmin do;
Sometimes at night her husban' said,
"Ma, amt you goin' to come to bed?"
And then she'd kinder give hitch,
And pause half way between stitch,
And sorter sigh, and say that she
Was ready us she'd ever be,
She reckoned.
And so the years went one by one,
An somehow she was never done;
An when the angel said, as how

She sorter raised her eyes to look

Testing Soap.

Like all primitive people. the
Maories are very inquisitive and, in
the manner of children are inclined
to bring everything to their mouths to
test its qualities. In the early days
a party OF Maories came across some
bars of soap which had been washed
ashore from Il wreck. Finding that
the stuff was too sticky to be eaten
raw, they resolved to cook it Ac-
cordingly they cut it up into small
pieces and sprinkled these pieces
over the sweet potatoes and fish
which formed their evening meal.
Finally they covered the whole mass
over with fern leaves and mats, and
putting earth on the top left every
thing to bake quietly in the ovens till
the evening. The scene at that even
ing meal must have been very funny.
Not only did the tribe have to go sup
PEERLESS to bed but the whole set of
ovens was spoiled. and new ones had
to be constructed before any further
cooking could be done. -Argonaut.
