TIE SIGN OF RECKONING.
New Gesture Acquired by United
States Troops Returning from
the War.

Among the troops returning form the
new territories added to the United
States by the Spanish war many have I'M
consciously acquired a new trick of ges-
ture, says the New York Tribune. Ask
anyone in this part of the world to
beckon to a distant person to come
nearer, and the sign viii be made by
extending the arm forward, palm up
ward, three fingers f1eXed into the palm
and the index finger moved back and
forth. Neither in the new eastern nor
the new western possessions does that
signal mean "come here" as a matter
Of fact it has not that meaning among
the American Indians. The northern
races of Europe are almost the only peo-
pie who employ the sign in that sense,
and with them it may be regarded as
but a hand dialect. All over the rest of
the world ''come here" is made by ex-
tending the arm rigidly before the
body, palm facing forward and the four
fingers sharply extending and flexed
back into the palm several times.
Every soldier of the armies of occupa-
ton who comes in contact with the
Spaniards and the native races is bound
to acquire the new gesture and to bring
it home with him.

A TRYING MOMENT.
Hut the Self-POssessed Hostess Was
Equal to the Occa-
sion.

People are telling a most remarka,
BILE story about famous but somewhat
eccentric woman who was lately Wis
Itlng the capital, says the Washington
Post. She was invited to a luncheon
and she accepted the invitation. Sew
eral women well worth knowing were
asked to meet her.
When they all came to the table the
famous guest asl&d for a finger bowl.
The maid, too well trained to show sur
prise at anything, brought bowl half
filled with water. The famous woman
drew small bottle from her pocket
and emptied its contents into the wa
ter. Then calmly she proceeded to lave
her spoon and fork in the liquid and
wiped them on the damask napkin, ex-
planning the while that for her health's
sake she made it rule never to touch
her lips with silver that had not been
properly sterilized. The bottle con-
tanned antiseptic of some kind-I've
forgotten the name of it.
The best part of the story, to my way
of thinking, is what the hostess did.
She did not look upon the proceeding
as any reflection on her housekeeping
methods. She did not stare haughtily.
She simply smiled into the agonized
eyes of the woman who had brought
the famous guest, and said:
What very excellent idea"

Bear Liked Sugar.

In a Vermont maple sugar camp,
owned by a Mr.. Forsythe, the owner
this spring often missed cakes of the
maple sugar which had been set out in
the snow to harden. For z. lc2g time
the men at the camp watched for the
thief, but never caught him, until at
last one day they found bear tracks
leading away from the camp, and fol
lowed them until they came to cave
in the hillside. Mr.. Bear was not at
home, but in one corner Of the cave they
found their cakes of maple sugar neat
ly piled up. Mr.. Bear had hidden away
nearly 200 pounds of the sweet stuff,
and when they went to carry it away
they met him coming through the
woods, walking straight up on his hind
feetlile man and carrying more sugar
in his arms. When he saw the men he
did not wait to be shot, but dropped his
sugar and ran away like any other thief.

| Speaking Of the league and It's objects,
| Mr.. Baker said: 1--WE are opposed
not only to an extension of the civil
service system, but also to the inter
ference with the law which has been
practiced. In other words, we b E.
lieve that the law should be put back
to just what it's terms specifically in
dictate. The law was intended origin
ally to apply only to departmental
clerkships with salaries from 81 200
to 81 800 and like grades of clerical
service in postoffices and custom
houses. There is, we believe, no just
ground for the extensions that have
been made. In addition to this, APP
pointments have been made in v1o-
lation of law FavOrites in lower
grades have been promoted without
examination. These fortunate peo-
pie are the pets of the men in power,
and general " Of those who are loud
est in their praise of civil service re-
form. [ shall not specify these cases
at this time, but the facts will be
made known to congress. The result
will be, we think, to prevent the civil
service humbug being coddled any
further. We shall try to prevent the
insertion of a civil service plank in
the next Republican national plat
form"
The best thing about Colonel Hen
derson's remarkable triumph is that
it has left no hard feelings Exon
gresham Southwick, of New York,
one of Representative Sherman's
closest friends, who was in Washing
ton this week, said: "Mr. Sherman
accepts his defeat for the speakership
with the utmost philosophy, and
isn't in the least sore over Colonel
Henderson's record-breaking victo-
ry." And the same sort of talk
comes from the friends of all the
other candidates. That is why'every-
body is predicting that the R.pubh-
cans Of the house Will be in perfect
harmony during this congress, max
ing their majority of thirteen asgood
as one OF hundred.

THE SIGN OF THE BOOT.
A Familiar Emblem That Usually
Hangs Over the Door of the
ShOemaker's Shop.

The 81 On of the boot seen hanging out
in front of the shoemaker's shop may
be made of wood or zinc or of copper.
Of these three the wooden boot is the
cheapest, the copper the dearest. Such
boots, says the New York Sun, have
been made also of chalk and of iron.
Sign boots are made in two or three
standard sizes and of other sizes to or
der. They are most commonly seen
gnded, but sign boots are occasionally
finished in some bright color, as, for
instance, brilliant red. The boot
signs may be bought in the establish
ment OF the dealer in emblem signs,
where there are also to be found the
gnded fishes for the dealer in fishing
tackle, the great gilded paddock for the
hardware dealer, and variety of other
signs of an emblematic character. and
they may also be bought of the dealers
in leather and findings who make a
speciality of shoemakers' supplies.
Besides these familiar gilded or paint
ed smaller boots there is occasionally
seen in front Of shoe stores giant boot,
with the foot part perhaps three or four
feet in length and the leg in proper
ton, four or five or six feet tall. These
great boots, of which the number used
is limited, are made of sheet iron or
tin and painted. The dealer who wants
boot of this kind gets it made to or
der by some skillful worker in sheet
metals

An Old PePrRge.

The premier baron of England, Lord
de Ros, has just celebrated his birth
day, having completed his seventy-sec-
ond year. There are older peerages still
in existence, but the barony of De Ros
is the oldest peerage of that grade, it
having been created in 1864 by Henry
ILL.,, and the present peer is the twenty
fourth holder of the title. That gives
an average life to each holder of over
&c years, but many Of them did not sue
coed to the title very early in life. The
present peer was Al when he succeeded
his father. The present Lord de Ros
served as equerry and lord in waiting
to the queen and prince consort.

Man Not Always Flesh Eating Ami

OF his digestive organs ana dental sys-
TEN. in which respect he is nearly allied
,o the apes, which are all fruit-catimg an
imals in their natural state, he soon be-
came omnivorous from necessity. and his
stomach readily adapted itself to every
kind of food.
Ii the Darwinian theory be accepted,
and the descent of man from siminn an
cestors he granted, we have further ar
Gumcnt in support of the fact that flesh
eating was the outcome of civilization
amt climatic necessity rather than OF nat
ura4 craving. Exposed at the epoch of
the great extension If the glaciers. which
at one time covered all our mountains, To
the hardships of an Indictment climate,
man required something more nourishiug
and heat supplying than the vegetable
diet which suiccd for him i'm higher
temperature; and in the palacolithic age
we find him not only destroying animal
life, but provided with and utilizing the
means OF cooking the victims of his
rough-hcwn knife and spear.
