Boston Bsked Beans SLOWLY Giving Wsy

To be sure one dislikes to see Bos-

Faneuil hall or the old state house, but
candor compels the true Bostonian.
who has studied the subject In all its
phases to admit that the succulent
bean is losing its hold on tho Hub says
the Boston Herald.
To think that the bean, which New
Englanders at least have always be-
lieved to be food for rich and poor for
the half and tho "other hail." is grad
ually being relegated to an inevitable
place in the list OF uncalled for, leads
the patriotic citizen to believe THAI a
new epoch is marked for the city OF
culture
1t has always been the custom for
families on the hill in the comfortable
suburbs to pay a tribute to the bean by
having IL served in delicious man
ner on Saturday nights at the homo
table. or with brown bread on Sunday
morning, but the oyster is taking its
place. n
The change is a slow one. All great
changes must be. necessarily.
Yet the people in easy circumstances
are not the ones that dictate what
shall be the popular dish. 1t is tho

you will soon see that these state
ments are true. Baked beans are
always down ION the bill" They are
usually priced at 10 cents. That's
one thing that makes them so popu-
lar.
Yet they aren't called for. Once a
week, perhaps. everybody in Boston
must eat his dish OF beans just as he
must go to church, or he will not feel
well during the entire week following

The Naughty Floor Manager.

The young man was leaning against
the wall watching the dancers with
some interest He didn't look ex-
actly like man Of great prominence;
in fact. probably no one in the hall
had ever seen him before, but that
didn't seem to trouble them. and he
certainly didn't care.
To his right was q prominent
citizen also interested in the dance.
and to his left was floor manager.
The young man saw him bow and said
to himself:
''Georgel but they sort of look out
for stranger here. It's quite now

How are you enjoying YOURSELF
asked the floor manager.

the young man. Never better"
STRIP exclaimed the floor manager,
haughtily.
Out OF sight said the young man.
'I'm enjoying 1t all right"
II wasn't speaking to you, SIR"
said the floor manager.
Never mind, never mind" re-
turned the young man with gracious
wave OF the hand. Pm enjoying

The prominent citizen laughed and
moved away and the floor manager
tried to find some excuse for having

SO SCIENTISTS SAY.

The cormorant is still occasionally used
for fishing in preserved waters in England.
The bird generally wears light collar to
prevent it from swallowing the fish.
Almonds are such near cousins to
peaches that one can be grated upon the
other, and the analogy is made palmer in
this instance because the almond on the
tree is also covered by pulp.
Large heads do not always indicate in

enlist, points out that the Greeks, one of
the most intellectual of nations are also
one of the smallest. headed of nations.
More than 10, 900 visitors have been
registered on the Lick observatory books
in the few years of its existence, and to
visit Mt. Hamilton means stage ride Of
fifty miles, an expense of two days In

at the least Moreover the observatory
is only able to give one night in the week,
Saturday, to visitors.

IT is creditable TO the South that sc
much has been done towards providing
the means OF education for the col
ored children. The eagerness with
which many OF them have prOtited
by it is an evidence that no obstacles
have been thrown In the way Of OBJ
tanning at least the rudiments OF such
learning as common schools can inn
part and OF occasionally rising to
higher grades. That there is an ex-
ceedingly large amount OF illIteracy
existing in the United States did moi
need confirmation by the census. Bnt
that the states have been derelict in
providing free schools for their chill
dren it would be unjust to assert
The bulk OF tho illiteracy has orig in
ated in causes that could not be pre-
vented. and the condit ions have beer
such that no comparison with the com.
pulsory educational system OF Ger.
many could fairly be made.

ANY one who uses an atlas often has
occasion to deplore the confusion in
the spelling of place names. Many
causes contribute to this lack of uni
formity. In the uncivilized parts OF
tho world place names are at the
mercy of every traveller. Spoke and
Stanley introduced us to Uganda, but
every white man who has lived in the
country says the name is properly
Buganda. Such instances may be
multiplied by thousands The great
est confusion has arisen from the fact
that travellers have used variety OF
systems OF photography to represent
the sounds OF place names. Each ma
ton. too. has spelled foreign geo.
graphic names In accordance with the
photographic rules OF Its own language.
Indexed aliases are great conven-
fence; but the student Is much per-
picked when he reads for instance, OF
the important Russian city OF Kief and
then looks for 1t vainly in his index.
where, as In some OF the best German
aliases, the name appears as Knew. A
comparison of atlas induces clearly re-
veals the confusion OF geographic
spellings and the need for reform.

This sounds. 1t must be admitted, a
good deal like saying. in regard to
more material products than human
nature. AS good silk as can be
made out OF cotton. or as good gold
as can be made out of brass" In
manufactured goods. the world has
got used to these familiar substitu-
tions of cheaper for more costly ma
terials but somehow or other 1t seems
TO kick at tho idea OF introducing the
same methods into the manifestation
Of the more spiritual qualities OF the
soul And yet IL Is but just to repeat
that the criticism made on the charac-
ter Of the distinguished man alluded
to- though humorously phased, was
not unkindly meant He was pre-.
dominantly an intellectual man. but
like him, many men who have heads
never try TO make u heart out OF them,
