It was in an aristocratic Hyde Park nome The well trained English butla- had left, and the newly engaged man, ! Swede, was in process of breaking in. Callers came, and he took the cards to his mistress in his ungloved hands, leaving the silver card tray resting quietly in the hall.
 "When you bring things in here, Swenson, said she, "use the tray. It is not proper to bring them in your hands.
 "Yaas," he replied.
 Mrs. H. Park had a new toy terrier. The guests wished to see 1t, and she sent for Swenson to fetch it.

Italians Fear Hydrophobia.

An incident which has just occurred at Paola, province of Cosenza, Italy, points to the amazing ignorance and superstition prevalent in that country Joseph Padillo was bitten by a dog, and in accordance with local custom ate its liver to escape hydrophobia. Next day, as was hardly surprising, he was not we'll and did not wish to get up. His wife at once assumed that he suf- fered from incipient rabies and alarm ed the neighbors. They surrounded the house and raised cries of Smother himw He escaped through a window, was pursued, overcome, and, having been bound to ladder, was dragged through the streets. At length the au
 thorities intervened and said that he must be sent to an asylum. While be ing dragged to the station he implored for some water, but they would not give him a drop. It Is not to be won. dered at that before the train had pro- ceeded far he died.-London Chronicle

We fail in our duty to our individ- uality when we have our thinking done for us by proxy. The pressure of mod
 ern civilization has developed this to
 an alarming degree, says the Saturday Evening Post. We have had the "Stone 1 Age" and the Bronze Age" and the
 'Iron Age" and the other ages. To- day is the "Canned-Food Age" Our ! opinions are formulated for us, our views on political and social questions are condensed and put in extract form" by our favorite paper. New York issues its bulletins of the literary gods to be worshiped for the season as London decrees the cut of our clothes. The special phrases current for the months in art and musical circles are all given us ready for use, like our canned foods. Gut the can carefully at the thin end and serve hot or cold" But in this prepared" sameness in conservation we rebel occasionally, and long for a sample of Individuality, something a man has thought out for himself-to feel that we are plucking peach from the tree where 1t has been growing, not from can where 1t has been packed. But for the most part, this individuality, in its fresh, de- lightful form, is missing. It would be real and living if the costly educa- tional menu of our schools were cut down to a few studies with trained thinking constantly on the table as a relish. But we do not get much of this individual thinking; it is done, like all other work-by "syndicates." Man may feel it Is right for him to do cer- tain thing; from his careful study of it in all its relations, il his honest judgment 1t seems to him to be right. But society will not understand 1t. He then perhaps stands in terror before some presbytery, social or ecclesiastic- al; so he silences his conscience, and bows before Public Opinion. His con- science was his own-his duty to his individuality should make him obey the dictates of his conscience. Public Opinion is but a conscience owned by syndicate. If 1t were right, what QOCS It udlleT WudJ peOple Sdy III the Dark Ages man stood in terror of one lord or master. This he called slavery" We throw our individual ity, our right to think for ourselves, to the winds. We stand in terror of a million masters, we fall prostrate before society, before Public Opinion; but this We call 'liberty." There is not in this plea for individuality in our life the slightest trace of anarchy in thought. It Is most perfect recogni- tion of law and the duty of obedience to it, for 1t represents perfect harmony in the three great relations of life. The plea for Individuality Is but a plea for thinking" so that man may use the beautiful mind that has been put into him to the full of its power to serve himself, and thus serve better society and the world.

The Only Time There Was.

The necessity that there shall be only one man who 'has the say" in mill. tary command is thoroughly recognized in the United States army. A story is told of General Shafter which illus trates the punctilio of the regulars in this regard.
 At certain frontier post at which Shafter, who then held an inferior rank, was commander many years ago, dis. cussion arose among several officers as to the exact time of day. A captain. with his watch ill his hand, said:
 ''It is now exactly o'clock.
 "Oh, noP' said a lieutenant. "By my time it's eight minutes past 3.
 A third young officer drew his watch out of his pocket ''I know my time is exactly right, he said. "and my watch says two minutes past 3"
 At this jun, ture Major Shafter looked at his silver watch.
 ''I don't know what your watches say," he remarked, "but wish you to understand that i'll this command it is five minutes past B.
 Then the young officers remembered that the authority of the commanding officer extended even to the time of day.-Youth Companion.

Continuous Steel Pipe.

The West Australian government has taken contract to lay nearly $50 miles of water pipe of a novel character. This pipe is to bo made of steel spirals pack ed in concrete. Sheet metal is cut into strips of the required width. These are fed into machine and welded into one continuous strip. As the strip is fed ir- to the machine rivet holes are punched; then the edges of the laps are brought together by machinery and held during the process of riveting, which is all done by compression. The lap is thrown on the outside of the pipe, rendering the inner surface sooth and even throughout it's length. A tenacious hydraulic ce- ment is packed around the laps, making the pipe absolutely water tight. York Ledger

ALnoical Deduction.

In August of the year 1928 blasting accident occurred In a Massachusetts town, and two men were injured, one of whom was killed and the other was supposed to be dead. A physician was summoned, and one of the victims, named Babb, was resuscitated and he fully recovered and lived many years. At the house to which MT. Babb's un- conscious body was taken, was a boy born in September of 1925. Some months afterwards the childs mother told her boy the Bible story of Jesus raising a dead person to life, adding that He alone could do that. The little fellow listened very attentively, and then broke out with the joyous excla- nation: i've seen Jesus. His other name is pr. Davis; and I know MT. Babb, too, that he made alive after he got killed blowing rocksw

Since Carlyle's house at Chelsea was converted into a kind of museum or shrine there has been no popular move ment in London for the preservation of the homes of famous men. Among these that of the late Lord Leighton, President of the Royal Academy, is, perhaps, best worth preserving on its own account Lord Leighton's wealth enabled him to indulge his artistic views in the decoration of his home, and during his lifetime his handsome residence at Kensington, adorned with rare treasures of art, was one of the sights best worth seeing in London to those to whom the beautiful had an at- traction. The house was built on semi classical plans, and its marbles, pie lures and decorations, as we'll as the pleasant garden which shut in this home of the muses from the big city all about 1t, made it pleasant spot for the lover of the beautiful. The Arab hall, especially, with its fountain, its vivid Persian tiles, its marble columns and rich eastern glass windows, was unique in all London. Lord Leighton bequeath- ed his house to his sisters and they and his friends have hitherto preserv- ed 1t as a fitting memorial of the fa-

Kitchen bacteriology was the subject of a course of lectures recently deliv- cred by a German doctor to class of ladies. His hearers were taught how to prepare and preserve food according to the methods observed by bacteriolo- gists in their work. The art of preser- vation, which was especially dwelt up- on, was shown to consist simply in ab- solute cleanliness. The vessels were cleansed in boiling water before food was put into them, and the greatest care was then exercised to prevent the entrance of germs from any source. The covers of the vessels had overhang- ing lids, instead of those with inside fanges, usually employed; and where their use was practicable, the lids were made of circular disks of cotton clamp ed at the rim between two metal rings, one of which formed the outside rim of the cover. At the close of the lectures there was an exhibition of food that had been kept in such vessels In warm room for from one to two weeks, and was found unchanged in taste, odor and appearance.

Correcting Biographies.

The more accessible portions of the globe having been explored, geogra- phers are now correcting their imper- feet records. The text books and the latest maps represent the Arctic coast of Siberia as a flat, water-soaked tun- dra, but this pr. K. Hikish has just pointed out to the Russian Geograph- ical Society is decidedly wrong. Only in the region of the Obi has the Arctic low, flat shores. East of the Yenesei

The Younrster Cuts His Finger.

"Well," said Mir. Goslington, "the youngster has cut his finger The only surprising thing is that he didn't do it the first day he got the knife. How he did it he doesn't know himself, except that the knife slipped and the first thing he knew his finger was bleeding. Then be ran to his mother. His face was white, but he didn't cry, which I thought was very brave, and think so still His mother washed the finger gen. tly and then bound it up with strip of soft, worn, white cotton cloth tied around not with . piece of common cord, but with a narrow strip torn oil the edge of the cloth itself I heard her tearing it, and thought it sounded fa- miliar, and then remembered that was the way my mother used to do up my finger.
 "Then the boy went around with that finger held out straight from the rest of the hand and with a solemn look on his face, but he couldn't stay solemn long. and it was surprising how quickly his finger healed too Then his mother put a cot over it. a finger cut from an old kid glove (just what my mother used to do, too, and 1 wonder if all mothers do these things just alike), to protect it for day or two more until 1t got fully we'll That was wholly new to him, and it pleased him very much. He wore the glove finger with the proud but reserved dignity of one convalescing from 8 saber stroke instead of a cut from his first knife, and it all made me feel young again myself

SERVANTS EXCUSES.
One Woman Who Was Clever Enough
 to CircumVent Them.

to Circumvent Them.
 We have heard the story of the Cana dian mistress who. with seven servants in her house, was obliged to go to the garden and pick berries for the table. Each of the servants declined the task with the stereotyped excuse, "It ain't my place to pick berries" <" Ord, in his History of Cleveland" relates an an- ecdote of Margaret Wharton, who, while accepting her servants excuse, yet made them do her will.
 In one of her visits to Scarborough Mrs. Wharton. with her usual economy, had family pie for dinner, which she directed the footman to convey to the bakehouse. This the man declined to do as not belonging to his place, or rather, as derogatory to his eonse- quence. The lady then moved the ques- tion to the coachman, but found still stronger objection.
 To save the pride of both Mrs Wharton resolved to take the pie to the shop herself. She ordered one man to harness and bring out the horses and the other to mount and ride behind, and thus the errand was done with all honor and ceremony. Then in due time the coaohman was ordered to put to sec ond time and the footman to mount be- hind, and Mrs. Wharton brought back the pie in the same dignified state.
 "Now," said the lady to the coach man, "you have kept your place, which is to drive, and you yours, <" to the foot man, (which is to wait, and I mine, which is to have my pie for dinner" 7"

ADOPTION OF THE CAT.
When 1t Was Introduced to Huma
 SOcietv Mysferv

When It Was Introduced to Human
 Society a Mystery.
 1t is impossible to trace the origin of the domestic cat with certainty to any existing species or variety of wildcat. Indeed, the time at which the cat was first domeSticated and introduced to human society is simply a matter of conjecture. Prof. Shaler expresses the opinion that the domestication of the cat must have been much later than that of the dog, while naturaliSts give reasons for believing to the contrary.
 Some people agree with Prof. Shaler and for this reason: That dogs were probably first domesticated in order to assist in hunting, and, therefore, prob ably in what is called the hunting age of human society, whereas the cat has nowhere been generally used as hunt ing animal. The dog is essentially gre gariouS; he loves to hunt in packs, and when introduced to a human family he regards the family as his pack and hunts accordingly, so that he is easily made serviceable by the human hunter. The cat, on the contrary, is unsocial; 1t lives alone and hunts alone, so that it could not be expected to be easily trained to hunt, either with men or for men. In fact, the only member of the eat family that is known to have been trained to hunt is the cheetah, though an ancient Egyptian painting, which may be seen in the British museum, represents cat which is apparently as- siSting hunter to catch birds.
 There is another reason for tn hiking that the cat must have been adopted by man after the hunting age, namely, the eats wonderful attachment to locali- ties. Animals like the wolf, with which the dog is most closely allied, follow their prey over vast tracts of country, and seem entirely destitute of local at- tachment. The wildcat, on the con- trary, settles down in a particular spot and waits for its prey to come. When removed from its accustomed habitat it seems to lose its skill, and therefore would be useless to men in a hunting age, because in that age men seldom had fixed habitations, but roamed abroad, wherever game was to be found. Of course, much of this is con- lecture. Whether the cat or the dog was first adopted by man cannot now be certainly known, but the cat was well known as a domestic animal at an early period of human history.-Boston l Journal.
