The Etiquetts of Giving Up Ones Seat.

A Partisan newspaper saysthat it shows
a want of good breeding for q lady to per-
nit a gentleman to give her his seat in a
crowded public conveyance and adds:
Nothing can be more annoying for seated
travellers than this mutual exchange of so
called courtesies and congratulations which
goes on at their knees and threatens their
feet, perhaps more or less afflicted with
corns. Remain seated, gentlemen. Re-
main seated If the Frenchman who
wrote this had ever gone through the ex-
perience of having a lady decline a seat he
offered, he might write another chapter
about the want of good breeding in refus-
ing well meant courtesies of strangers. The
New Jersey commuters who cross the fer
ries during the rush hours have solved the
difficulties of this whole p~erplexing mat
ter in a thoroughly democratic way. When
u gentleman ou a crowded boat sees a lady
approaching who he thinks would appreci-
ate a seat, he waits till she is nearly oppo
site to him, and then without dsmonstra-
tion of any sort he simply rises and goes
out on the deck. The lady ia free to sit
down on stand up, as she prefers, and the
gentleman runs no risk of a snub.-New

Painting Single Roofs.

A timber journal expresses surprise
that in the use of paint to preserve
wood exposed TO the weather, the fact
that a shingle roof was omitted from
the catalogue was invariably the rule.
This oversight appears to be one OF
the things in which custom becomes
habit 1t is safe to presume that the
custom of leaving the shingle roof un-
painted originated in its angular form
being less exposed to the after effects
OF rain and snow. If paint would be
useful to any weather-exposed surface
it would certainly be so on G roof, and
in the present style of suburban resi-
dences the roof receives its share of
paint along with the rest of the build
ing, thus combining the useful with
the ornamental. When the thin nature
OF the shingle is taken into considera-
tion 1t will be obvious that sun cracks
will easily 60 through the shingle, and
to that extent render it worthless.
The only way to overcome this is to
paint the shingles and always keep
them painted. Chicago Record.

The Down Trade.

From out of the chaos Of new indus
tries the down trade has sprung to n
most conspicuous place. Down pillows
and head rests, as well as down COM
fortables, we're, up to short while
ago, imported almost entirely. but to-
day they are manufactured very largely
in this country, and many grades are
prodfced and sold here more cheaply
than the imported.
The idea of manufacturing quilts or
comfortables filed with down goes
back in its origin to q patent secured in
England many years ago by a Yorkshire
drummer, who conceived the idea Of
filling q cretonne comfortable with silk
waste; the thing hung fire for while
until some one introduced down as o
substitute; then the industry assumed
large proportions and to-day it is esti-
mated that our manufacturers consume
from 1900, 900 to 10000 pounds of
feathers for bed purposes each season,
which means the annual contribution,
dead or alive, of something like TO-
600, 900 of the feathered tribe.
Years ago we used to smile with con-
scious superiority at the idea of the
Dutch sleeping under feather bed in
stead of over it. The idea of sleeping
upon hard mattress and climbing un-
der soft one seemed rather an ana-
chronism and singular pcrverision OF
common sense, but the introduction
Of the down or feather comfortables ls
simply the utilization OF that knowl-
edge Of things which some of the older
countries hadlong ago known. Feathers
are exceedingly warm and e covering
of them superinduces and retains the
heat in the human body.
A curious claim is now made for
new comfortable Of down. The makers
assert that their product retains all the
natural warmth, but allows the impure
air to escape from the bed, how or
wherefore we are not informed. The

Interesting Scenes in Tangier.

Taneier's beauty lies in so many
different things-in the monkllke garb
of the men and in the white muffied
figures of the women !; in the brilliancy
of its sky, and of the sea dGshing upon
the rocks and tossing the feluccas with
their three cornered sails from side to
side; and in the green towers OF the
mosauee, and the listless leaves OF the
palms rising from the centre of mass
of white roofs; and, above oil, in the
color md movement of the bazars and
streets. The streets represent absolute
equality. They are at the widest but
three yards across, and every one
pushes, and apparently every one has
something to sell, or at least something
to say, for they all talk and shout at
once and cry ut their donkeys or
abuse whoever touches them. A water
carrier, with his goat-skin bag on his
back and his finger on the tube through
which the water comes, jostles you on
one eide, and o slave as black and
shiny Ms a patent-leather boot shoves
you on the other as he makes way Tor
. his master on o fine white Arabian
'horse with brilliant trappings and n
huge contempt for the donkeys in his
way. It is worth going to Tangier if
for no other reason than to sec slave,
and to grasp the fact that he costs any
where from hundred to five hundred
dollars. To the older generation this
may not seem worth while, but to the
present generation-those of it who
were born after Richmond was taken
it is a new and momentous sensation
to look at man as fine and stalwart
and human as one of your own people,
and feel that he cannot strike Tor
higher wageE, or even serve rs parlor
car porter or own barber shop, but
must work out for life the 5000 his
owner paid for him at Fez.-Harper's
Weekly.

more, the African State holds posi-
ton of advantage at the extreme north
east of the Agricultural Building, 50
that the crowds passing over the bridge
from the palace of Mechanical arts and
floating into the first entrance rtn into
the exhibit and are caught for at least
few minutes.
About the srst thing that one would
notice is stuffed hippopotalnus, one
guarding one corner Of the section.
On the high wall at the rear arc the
skins of monkeys, tigers, goats, ge-
zelles, otters and squirrels making O

the show cases and dangling from high
poles are thousand trfhkets telling

Although Liberia has 2, 500, 000'people

of these articles Of head-gear are shown.
There are daggers with Ill sorts of
blades. The hilts are of wound thongs
and pieces OF horn The native looms
are OF the same pattern which used to
be seen in New England. One war
robe is as large as quilt and is made
of tanned skins. Every inch Of it is
covered with scrswled Arabic inscrip-
tions, consisting Of extracts from the
Koran One of the jungle dwellings IS
shown in miniature. The walls are of
plated reed, much like those in the
Javanese Building over on the plais-
ance, while tine zcof is heavily thatched
with big gummy leaves. In front of
the cabin is the stool Oh which one of
of the old Grebo kings used to sit
while giving some weighty decision.
1t looks like the thing on which a man
rests his foot while having his shoes
shined and stands up only Six inches

Wood fiber and the strong wiry
grasses are used IT, hundred ingenious
ways. They are woven into jackets,

An Arizona Irrigation Canal.

The Pennsylvania ranch, between
Crit1anden and Soroita, is one Of the
finest and most novel ranches in Ari-
zona. The water supply is constant
and comes from $50 feet above the level
of the land irrigated.
1t is spring, supplying seven miles
of bitches and carries 100 miners in
ches of water. A feature of the canal
is a sixty-foot waterfall, pretty sight
and waste that might we'll be utilized
for electricity, for power purposes and

she considers that she is in that pc

Hewill offer prizes to the boarders
who shall catch the most flies. There
will be first prize, consisting: say, Of
some such rare object as lithograph
of Bishop Brooks; a second prize, &
beautifully illustrated souvenir circu-
lar advertising the hotel, and 30 ON.
The effect of these prizes will be to set
all the boarders to catching flies, and

around the poles are punches of rice.
Mats, cloths and chairs of modern
manufacture are mixed in with the

the most striking contrast is between
q model OF the old dug-out canoe and
a model OF rew Liberisn gunboats. In

these two are only fifty years apart.
