Twelfth Century Manners.

According to twelfth century man
ncrs, 1t was considered more than rude
for any one, man or woman, to look
aimlessly into space or gaze ut the sky
for any length Of time, and staring
about IN the street or in church was
considered especially impolitc. People
who desired to be considered well
brought up were cnjoined not to wave
their hands about in the mir and not
to place their hands upon the head or
shoulders Of any distinguished person
age.
When standing, both men and wom-
en- were eXhorted to place one hand
over the other near the waist 4 we'll

doors. had to place the thumb of the
left hand in the buckle or string by
which her cloak was fastened under

Of the right hand she kept the cloak

II didn't know George Dewey from
Adams off OK, and l asked the ticket

Dewey was navy officer and that it

Murray Garde the other night. what
particularly interested me was the

The bears of Utah and Wyoming are
the cleverest wild animals 1 have ever
seen. They, too. slide down the preci-
pices and the mountains, but they are
more tender Of themselves than the
elephants. They cut bark from a tree
with their ieeih ana claws In strips big
enough to be sat upon comfortably,
and on these toboggans they coast
down the sleeps of their wild country

saying word notes down the nltcra-

his notes to the stage manager and

the stage manager with notes every
