A Nuisance Needing Abatement.

Frequent complaints are heard among
ladies in regard to the prevalence in this
city OF the tobacco chewing habit among
men. Not only are they offended by the
foul breath of clerks and business men
with whom they have to deal while shop

expectorations while on the street. Per-
sonal contact with the tabacco chewer
may, perhaps. be avoided. but in the latter
case the ladies are helpless 1t certainly
is very disgusting to see men, often those
who appear to be gentlemen, hawking and
splitting at random upon the sidewalks,
and the ladies have right to complain
against the Preparation of this nuisance

more than matter of taste and breeding.

rise up and cry out against this filthy
habit. and says: when we promenade
Front and Second streets we are often
compelled to wade through most sicken-
ing and repulsive filth; much OF il ciings

serious and fatal results In few other
cities do the sidewalks present so disgrace

Scotch Hospitnlity. 1920.

We have an interesting account of hos
pitality in 1929, which gives good idea
of tho manner in which a country gentle
man of the period lived. Dinner and sup
per were brought In by the servants with
their hats on, custom which is corrobo-
rated by Fynes Moryson, who, writing in
1893, says that, being at knights house
who had many servants to attend him,
they brought in tho meat with their heads
covered with blue caps After washing
their hands in basin, they sat down to
dinner, and Sir James Pringle said grace.
The viands seemed to have been plentiful
and excellent, ''big pottage, long kale,
bowe OF white kale which is cabbage,
breoh sopps powdered beef, roast and
boiled mutton, vcnison pie in form of an
egg, goose" Then they had cheese, cut
and uncut, and apples. But the close of
the feast was the most curious thing about
it.
Tho tablecloth was removed, and on 1t
was put ''towel the whole breadth Of the
table, and half the length Of it, basin
and ever to wash, then a green carpet laid
on, then ono cup of beer set on the carpet,
then little long lawn servitor, plated
over the corner OF the table, and glass of
hot water set down also on the table, then
be there three boys to say grace, tho first,
the Thanksgiving; the second, the Pater-
noster; the third, prayer for blessing
to Gods church. Tho goodman of the
house, his parents, kinsfolk, and the whole
company they then do drink hot waters,
SO at supper, then to bed, the collation.
which (is) stoupe of ale" Tho whole ac-
count, it must be said, is not very intelli-
gible, and it must have been somewhat
formidable prelude to the post prandial

The Passing of Red Brick.

In no department. Of human industry
has thcro been greater evolution of late
years than in the business Of making
bricks. Formerly we had nothing but old
fashioned red brick that reached it's climax
Of perfection at Philadelphia and was
shipped thence at great expense all over
the country where high grade article
was in demand. But the rcd brick has
had it's day for architectural use, and in
its place has come to stay the brick Of
lighter hue-pink, buff, yellow, and, in
fact, Of nearly every shade.
A brick can be made that is as mottled
as a sea gulls egg or one that will show
the varying tints of an autumn leaf. 1t
is done by adding certain metallic ingre-
dients to the clay after the latter has been
ground to the finest powder. 1t is the
iron in the clay that gives the ordinary
brick its deep red. In future most of our
city residences are going to be constructed
from brick of these pleasing colors. They
give relief to the eye and variety. What
can be more monstrous than row of red
brick houses? Washington is taking to the
new style, and in this clear atmosphere,
unspoiled by the SCOT from soft coal COM
bustion, house of this beautiful material
will stand fresh for century and be solid
for years after one built of granite had
disintegrated. d.-Washington Post.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. AT last San
Francisco is to have a monument to
Gen. Ulysses s. Grant. Though the
Grant monument com mittee has been
in existence ever since the death
of the general, only a small portion Of
the 100000 desired was subscribed. The
money collected would have been re-
turned to the subscribers had not
the subscription books been lost.
Recently three mem bers OF the
original committee decided to proceed
with the erection of q monument. per-
sonally increasing the subscriptions to a
suitable sum. Rupert Schmidt OF San
Francisco is the only living sculptor
who modelled Grant from life. having
made bust OF the ex>prssident q
few weeks prior to his death. This
bust is now at the Grant tomb in River.
side park. New York. To Schmidt has
been entrusted the task Of preparing q
design for the monument, and he has
gone to New York to copy the bust at
Riverside park. The monument will be
OF granite and bronze. and will be
erected in Golden Gate park.
