who sat before me was constantly laugh

HOW AMERICANS CHEER.
To a Britisher the PIaudits of Worlds
Fair Crowd Sound Like Kisses.

Fair Crowd Sound Like Kisses.
The arrival of the President and bis
party called forth what to my British
ears was a most unexpected vocal dem
onstration, says a writer in the Review
Of Reviews. The people not only
cheered as British crowds are wont to
cheer-they INDUCED in sounds which
are to us expressive of strong derision.
They literally caterwauled. / was al
most as surprised as Milton makes out
the applause he anticipated, he was
greeted with one vast hiss. l suppose
every nation develops its own style OF
plaudit. The Germans have their short
staccato "hoch," the British their sono-
rous ''hurrah," while the Americans
have selected the shrill feline yell
Asking fair Chicagoan the reason of
this strange preference, [ got for an
swer, 4 guess they want to make as
much noise as they can; and they find
they make most noise that way"
Making allowance for this peculiarly
IN cheering. no royal parsonage could
have been more rapturously received
than was the plain citizen, Grover
Cleveland. In the simple morning
dress of the ordinary citizen, without
ribbon or medal or other decoration on
his breast, with nothing in his garb to
distinguish him from other men, this
ruler of more than three score million
men stood out in instructive contrast to
the brilliantly uniformed representa-
tives of European royalty behind him.
1t was an object lesson which could
hardly be lost on the hundreds present
from monarchical states

Swedish POliteneSS.

In Sweden when train leaves plat
form or a steamboat pier, all the look
ers-on lift their hats to the departing
passengers and bow to them, compl-
ment returned by the traveller. If you
address the poorest person in the streets
you must lift your hat. A gentleman
passing a lady on the stairs OF a hotel
must do the same. To enter a shop or
a bank with ones hat on is a terrible
breach of good manners. IF you enter
or leave coffee-room you must bow to
all the occupants.

Making Use of Rats.

Makers of rat traps think they have
done good thing when they kill a rat.
Generally, they do not know what is
beyond. In Paris the rat trap does not
kill the rat; they catch him net to
drown him, as here, but to utilize him
The rat is set to work to eat the flesh
from the bones Of carcasses. When he
has done that thoroughly, then his
slaughter comes His fur is used for
trimming, his skin for gloves, his thigh
bones for toothpicls and his bones and
tendons for gelatine wrappers.-Hard-

The Latest in Neckties.

Aluminium neckties are not exactly a
craze, but they are made. They are
frosted or ornamented, naturally are
not heavy and can be easily cleaned.
The best use for aluminium in the cloth
ing line is for helmets. The weight is
SO small compared with what it is in
that q large demand will set in.
