OLD WORLD ETIQUETTE.
Strange Social Customs Which Are Oh
served n Europe and Asia.

Strange Social Customs Which Are OBJ
served IN Europe and Asia.
In Sweden, if you address the poor
est person on the street you must lift
your hat, says the philadelphia Press.
The same courtesy is insisted upon if
you pass lady on the stairway. To
enter reading room or q bank with
ones hat on is regarded as a bad
breach of manners. To place your
hand on the arm of lady is grave
and objectionable familiarity.
In Holland lady is expected to re-
tire precipitately if she should enter a
store or restaurant where men are
congregated. She waits until they
have transacted their business and de-
parted.
Ladies seldom rise in Spain to re-
ceive male visitor, and they rare
ly accompany him to the door.
For a Spaniard to give a lady-even
his wife-his arm when out walking
is looked upon as decided violation
of propriety
In Persia, among the arist0cracy, a
visitor sends notice an hour or two be-
fore calling, and gives a days notice
if the visit is one of great Importance.
He is met by servants before he reaches
the house, and other considerations
are shown him according to relative
rank. The left, and not the right is
considered the position of honor.
No Turk will enter a sitting-room
with dirty Shoes The upper classes
wear tight-ftting shoes, with galoches
over them. The latter, which receive
all the dirt and dust, are left outside
the door. The Turk never washes in
dirty water. Water is poured over his
hands, so that when polluted it runs
away.
In Syria the people never take Off
their caps or turbans when entering
the house or visiting friend, but they
always leave their shoes at the door.
There are no mats or scrapers outside
and the floors inside are covered with
expensive rugs, kept very clean in
Moslem houses and used to kneel upon
while saying prayers.

PERFUME MEASURED BY CENTS
She Wanted Visitors to Smell the Dollar
and-a-Haif Roses

"All flesh is not the same flesh" and
there are people who cannot under
stand the esthetic delight in what to a
grosser sense is at best mere matter
of sensuous pleasure and in many in
stances simply an affair of dollars and
cents.
What flowers are, for instance, to
some feminine natures is incompre-
hensible to less poetic beings, who,
however pleased they may be with the
costly beauty of eXotics are quite in
capable of feeling the true spell of
their loneliness.
One of these true lovers of flowers.
calling on Mrs Midas the other dav,
says the New York Tribune, was
shown into her sumptuous drawing
room, which, in accordance with the
delightful fashion of the day, was
filed with costly roses in the greatest
profusion, and was redolent of their
perfume.
Quite entranced, the lover of flow
ers' wandered from one fragant speci-
men to another, and finally was hang
ing with delight over large bunch of
"Mme. Cousines," whose exquisite pink
looked most enchantingly fresh in a
large bowl Of clear cut crystal, when
her hostess entered.
Admitting the roses, are you?" said
the latter after the first greetings had
been said. Eyes, they are pretty nice
this morning; gave carte blanche to
Blank to fill my vases every other day.
so have no trouble about them at all.
But don't waste your praises over
those twenty-fve-cent things; only
smell these" pointing to the superb
cluster of American Beauties. "Thev
cost one dollar and a half apiece"

SURGERY IN THE STONE AGE,
Prehistoric Man Knew How to Perform
Trephining.

Prof. Victor Horsley, L. r. s., lately
made some interesting assertions in an
address in Toynbee hall, London, upon
"Trephining in the Stone Age" He said
that there was no doubt that these
prehistoric people, though little better
than savages of low type, performed
this delicate operation, and the proof
of it to surgeons was convincing. If
the wound in an injured skull healed
the sharp edges become rounded, and if
there was a kind of worm-eaten APP
pearance round what was once a
wound it meant that there was inflam-
nation at the time of healing. Prof.
Horsley exhibited representations of
prehistoric skulls which presented
these appearances, and urged that it
was sufficient proof that the owners
survived these operations, performed
something like i've thousand years
ago. He found that in one instance
the hole had been scraped out of the
skull, and mentioned that even at the
present time among the Kabyles, in
the north of Africa, two days were oc-
cupied in performing the operation.
Trephining was also accomplished by
drilling a number of holes with bone
drill, then breaking down the small
partitions, and SO releasing the desired
piece of bone. Again, the operation could
be effected with stone saw, and skulls
were represented that showed that
after the periosteum had been scraped
away saving had been resorted to.
Primitive people, he said, were very
careless as TO these operations, and
even five hundred years ago in Germa-
ny piece OF the skull was removed as
cure for melancholy. If Il savage
suffered in the head from a blow tre-
phining was accomplished, and doubt
less the sufferer from fits, who was
considered to be possessed, was re-
lieved by a similar operation. From
the skulls he had examined he found
that the holes were generally made
Immediately above those parts of the
brain where an injury would induce
fits. Often the piece OF bone was re-
placed in the skull and at other times
it was split up into amulets. No doubt
the jewellers in the stone age looked
into the operation as something very
special, and considered that the bone
removed had supernatural properties.

STATE TRUSTEES ASSOCIATION.
State Superintendent Carlisle Has a Word
to Say with Reference Thereto.

Speaking of this proposed organiza-
ton yesterday State Superintendent
Carlisle said: Iregard the proposition
to orgaslze a state trustees association
at Galveston on the eth of this month
as another one of the many unmistak-
able evidences of educational progress
in this state. 1t will be remembered
that this proposition originated with
a member of city school board, aud
the meeting at Galveston will be COM
posed of city trustees, for the reason
that the proposition came too late to
have meetings of the county trustees
associations to send delegates, and for
tine reason that the county trustees
now in Office go out July /. But |
have no doubt that the orgP 1ization
will be made broad enough to include
all classes of school trustees. During
the coming year | hope each county
trustees association will select dele
gates to the next state association so
that when the state association meets
in 1895 we shall have Il large attend
ance.
During the last year it has been nv
pleasure TO meet with a great mauy
County Trustees associations, and |
have been pleased to note the striking
growth of the interest in school work
that trustees are manitesting.
There was time when many trus
tees in this state seemed to think they
performed their whole duty by COL
tracing with teachers and approving
their salary vouchers. This is no
longer so. On the contrary, trustees
are taking an active and intelligent
interest in all phases of school work.
The influence of this interest has been
one OF the potent factors in producing
the general improvement of our
schools, and every increase of that in~
terest is promise OF future progress.
1t seems therefore eminently proper
that the men who are eXerting such
great influence upon the schools and
who are destined to exercise still
greater influence upon them should
meet to confer with each other and
discuss the great problems with which
they have to deal. ! sincerely hope
that every city school board will send
delegates to the Galveston meeting on
the 9th inst, aud that good start

He Could Throw Some.

Several years ago." remarked citi-
zen of New Haven, Conn, recently, 81
knew a man who lived on the outskirts
of my town who could throw stone
with more accuracy of aim than is dis
played by most sportsmen with rifle.
The man was perfect giant physical
ly. He was good deal of hunter,
using stones as his only weapon to
bring down the game, He had large
leather pouch attached to one side of
his coat, in which he always carried a
good supply of carefully selected mis-
siles. With these he bagged every year
no small quantity of game, such as
quail, rabbits and squirrels. He could
kill bird on the wing or rabbit at
full speed almost as easily as at rest
One of his favorite methods for display.
ing his skill was to set up scythe
blade with the edge toward him at
distance of about che hundred feet, and
by throwing potatoes against the edge
cut them in half. lie could almost eX
actly halve two out of every three pota'
toes he threw"
