A Highly Seasoned Dinner.


Colonel John W. Caldwell, who went
through the civil war, tells an amusing
story about a Louisville company which
served in his command. He says:
we were camped in Tennessee. It
was In the spring and green's was the
chief ration. A large number of the
boys would get leave every day to go

Riding ON Turtles, Backs.

bring it to a standstill by forcing his
fingers into its horny eyes, when it at

under, before he brought the animal to

chri.tenins Battle.hip..

1t is not believed that the origin Of
christening the warship was due to an
act Of irreverence as q mock baptism,
but that its earliest inception was the
human sacrifice, then the libations Of
wine of Greece and the north, and, with
the spread Of the Christian religion, the
blessing Of the battleship, q custom OBJ
served today in all Roman Catholic
countries. The object was the same in
both the pagan and Christian rites, to

Rubber Bands.

Rubber bands have supplanted twine
to . great extent in the last few years."
observed a salesman in a drug store as
he slipped O band around q 5 cent pack
age OF sodium bicarbonate. Sup to ten
years ago rubber bands were seldom
seen outside of q courthouse or a law
yer's Office, and their use was confined
almost exclusively to tho filing of court
documents and papers. Now you find
them everywhere. Bands are used on
all small packages in drug stores, and
they have become an important factor
in the grocery business. They answer
the same purposes as Irvine, and are ad-
justed much easier.
ut may not be generally known that
q rubber band is the best tooth cleaner
known. 1t can be forced between the
teeth, no matter how close together,
and it removes accumulations that can
not be reached with toothbrush. Yes,
the rubber band has come to stay. I
don't know to what extent it has hurt
the Irvine industry, but it must be con-
siderable. "-Philadelphia Record.

Ancestors.

A family tree lisa good thing 10 have,
and that the descendants of the pilgrim
fathers Of the Puritan preachers, OF
the Revolutionary sires, the colonial
DANES, should come to the front every
little while and impress the fact Of
their lineage upon people is rather
pleasing than otherwise. 1t adds a Ger
tain repose to the rush of everyday life.
II may, however, be carried too far.
Apparently it is carried too far in New
York, where in certain circles 1t
amounts almost to a monomania. Wo-
men to whom n is introduced cannot
chat for five minutes without leading
the subject to ancestors, and if the
stranger never happened to have had
any the result is most embarrassing,
even distressing; hence those persons
given over to conversing entirely on the
family tree, etc, should be cautioned to
become milder advocates of the neces.
dty Of a long line of ancestors, for they
are fast forming q class which is oh.
noxious to intelligent, self respecting
human beings.-New York Times.

Meaning of Protocol.

Like many other English words de-
rived from other languages. protocol"
has long since lost its original meaning.
1t is derived from the Greek "protos, !"
meaning first, and "kollan," meaning
glue, and meant originally a sheet glued
in front of a manuscript, bearing the
writer's name and other particulars.
From this the meaning evolved into
that Of a rough draft of a document and
was SO used by the Romans, who called
it "protocolium." The definition of tho
word as used in modern diplomacy is
given as a rough draft of any document
or a document preliminary to some
transaction. It likewise is defined as "a
diplomatic document or minute Of pro-
ceeding signed by friendly powers in
order to secure certain diplomatic ends
by peaceful means"

Justice.

A murderer in Servia must be exeout-
ed on the very spot where he committed
his crime. There a pit is dug, he stands
in it blindfold, and a firing party shoots
him. If he is then still alive, a revolver
is held to his head to finish him, and
finally the earth is shoyeled in upon his
body. There seems q certain poetic jus.
tice about this procedure.
