WHAT QUEER THINGS WE ARE.
Results of Self-Examination on the Part
of the Man With the Topcoat.


Two men were riding downtown one
morning recently IN an elevated train.
Inc man with the silk hat had made a
discovery, and he questioned his friend
thus:
Are You right-handed?"
Yes. said the man in the topcoat.
"Right-legged, also?"
"Right-legged no"
"Sure?"
Why, Of course, I'm sure. I have

What Good Breeding Is.

Etiquette is polish of manners; good
breeding is manners without polish.
The essence of good breeding, ac-
cording to a writer in the -itluUtic is
simplicity; not he simplicity of the
peasant, although that is good in its
way but the simplicity of the really civ
ilized man who has arrived at kind of
artificial naturalness The natural man
has been fifty described as a NOISY,
sensual savage"
Now, if the essence of good breeding
is simplicity, it may be said that the es-
sence of yulgarity is want of simplicity
To be vulgar is to be unquiet, to have
no taste of ones own to be in continual
disturbance on account of ones neigh
Dor, either by way of trucking to him,
which is the manner of the snob; or of
hating him. which IS the vice of the
radical; or of competing with him.
which is the weakness of the parvenu.
To be vulgar is to adopt other peoples
language, to use their cant phrase. to
copy the infections of their voices, to
espouse their ideas--in fine, to think
and do and say, not what comes nat
urally to one. but what is supposed to
be considered proper by other peo-
pie. This, to be vulgar is to lack SIM
plicity.

Story of a Modest Little Bow.

Eight-year-old Fred was the youngest
member of a large family, and, unlike
many boys of that age, was accustomed
to regard himself as u person of little
importance.
At the table he ate what was given
him with thankful heart and vigor-
Gus appetite. He was not consulted as
to his personal likes or dislikes, as far
as food was concerned.
Naturally enough, therefore. his ideas
were much confused when, on the oc-
casion of his first dining out at the home
of one of his schoolboy friends, he was
asked whether he would like his slice of
beef rare or we'll done.
'Why-l-think, stammered Fred,
bashfuily; and then, with his usual
bright smile. he said:
1T doesn't make any difference, Mrs
Brown. Amy old thing will do nicely

The British "Drummer."

The commercial traveller in England
is little different from his American
brother, pursuing the same line of pol
icy III getting there" SO far as securing
trade is concerned. His inyariable
rule, however, IS that his first price
given to a local merchant is his last and
only one. There is no going in the
morning with an offer and then in the
afternoon with an extra inducement to
make the trade This being the inva-
riable rule, it saves much labor and ap-
prehension in the mind OF the buyer
that he has not done SO well as he could
have done with more diplomacy.
Everything is done for the comfort
Of the traveller, and at the hotels a spe-
cial apartment called the commercial
room is set apart for his exclusive use.
In this room smoking is prohibited un-
til p. M, a place being devoted to
that purpose at other times. The tray-
eler takes his meals in the commercial
room. the dinner being a set affair i'll
which all travellers in the house gener-
ally participate. The oldest man is at
the head of the table, and is called the
president; while at the foot is the
youngest man, and he is termed vice
president. Selections of food are often
made by vote, and two or three will
club together for @pecial dishes or
wines, the president generally putting
the question. A dinner costs in this
way from 30 to IS cents, and other
meals in proportion, very good food
and service being had throughout Great
Britain and Ireland at these prices. At
these dinners, and in the general con-
versation, no Introduction of one to the
other, if strangers, is necessary. and all
join in the general conversation and
story telling-a trait common to the
whole brotherhood of commercial trav-
elers, be they found in London, New
York or Kamchatka.

Some Queer Trees.

China'S remarkable tree is known as
the tallow tree, so called from the fact
that it produces a substance like tallow.
On the island of Lewchew grows tree
about the size of a common cherry tree,
which possesses the popularity of
changing the color of its blossoms At
one time the flower assumes the tint of
the lily and again shortly takes the
color of the rose. In Thibet there is a
most curious tree, known as the tree
of the thousand images; its leaves are
covered with well-defined characters of
the Thibetean alphabet. 1t is of great
age and the only one of its kind known
there. The caobab tree is considered
one of the most wonderful of the yepe-
table kingdom. 1t appears that moth
ing can Kill this tree, hence it reaches
an astonishing age as well as enormous
size. The natives make strong cord
from the tibers of the bark, hence the
trees are continually barked, but with
out damage, as it soon puts forth new
bark. 1t appears impervious to fire and
even the AK is resisted, as it continues to
grow in length after it is lying on the
ground. 1t would not be justice to
California to close this inexhaustible
subject without some mention of the
sequel, which is native of our own
dear hearth. And until the recent dis
covery of the Australian eucalypti,

VARzIN, Nov. 2S.-Princess Bismarck
died at o'clock yesterday morning.
Prince Bismarck is completely broken
down by the death of his wife, al
though her death was not altogether
unexpected in view of her recent at
tacks of fainting fits A few weeks
ago, when the princess condition was
growing worse, Prince Bismarck said
to his old butler, whose wife was dam

grief heartily. am in the same terri

passing away before ourselves
DIR. Schweninger fearing serious con-
sequences in the case of Prince Bis
marck, owing to symptoms Of q recur-
renee of the princes old troubles, is
concentrating his attention upon the
ex-chancellor.
Johanna Frledrike Charlotte Eleanor Won
Bismarck was born on April II, 1897 OF noble
Pomeranian family. Her father, Heinrich
Ernst Jacob Won Puttkamer, Of Viarthem, be-
manor; Won Schlawe, Won Rugenwalde and
Counts OF Newenberg and Tauchel who since
the fourteenth century, have ranked among the
most powerful of the Pomeranian mobiles.
Throughout life the Princess Won Bismarck
preserved all simplicity OF her youth. She was
q perfect specimen In the best sense OF the
word, of the German hausfrau (housewlfe). She
was very quiet, bore her honors as the most
natural thing In the world held fast to the old
friends of humber days, and had but one great
object In life-to make her husband and ohil.
dren happy. She accompanied her husband
wherever he was called by his duties and ere.
ated for him the home life which the Man oi
Iron loved so we'll and in which he found repost
aud refreshment from his labors. She cared
for her husband and children in peaceful
motherly way and her serenity and patience
which have always secured for Bismarck
quiet home, certainly contributed to his sue,
cess through life. "She 1t is, he once said TO
friend, who has made what am"
