Eliminates eonyentionafty that we see
only the radiance and forget the ma

able to detect the difference between
manners assumed for an occasion of

of well-bred person. A man may
lift his hat with movement indicative
of generations whose culture and grace
form the innermost essence of his char
acter; another may attempt the same
and show by it that only yesterday he
took his first crude lesson in conven-
tional politeness. II is the same with
women. Good manners come of re-
fined home life: they must be worn
every day or they will not be worn with
ease and unconscious grace.

"LAoNIAPPE."
Z New Orleans Custom that Is Falling
someNhat Into Disuse.


In reading the stories OF New Or
leans life that have been published
from time to time during The last few
years by Ruth McEnery Stuart and
other writers familiar with the condi-
lions OF life in that Southern city. the
reader Is struck by the Use of the term
'lagniappe.' Ii Is applied 10 a bonus
given to purchasers at the markets or
shops; sort of premium, rs il We're.
1t may be confectionery. fruit, or some
trihlng article, but 1t Is expected and
given as a matter of course.
Although "lagnlappe" as custom Is
peculiar to the section of the country
which has been mentioned. IL Is by no
means unknown elsewhere. Many
grocers viii tell OF customers who al
ways expect candy. fruit or something
Of the sort on payment of their weekly
or monthly bill. And what are much
discussed trading stamps but ''lagn-
lappe" from the merchant TO the Gus
toner In order TO draw aud keep his
custom? SO are the chances" on this
or that article Civ by advertisers or
merchants to dray attention TO certain
wares. Everybody likes 10 receive n
little more than has actually been pur-
sense OF having made a particularly
good bargain. aud. shrewd dealers are
not slow to take advantage OF this
characteristic OF human nature.
''Lagniappe" may be given, too. In
less material ways. 1t costs nothing
to say an extra word or two of appre-
citation Of favors done or In praise OF
some attribute OF the person doing the
favor, and often wins the everlasting
gratitude Of its recipient, even If he
has feeling that 1t may not be alto
gether deserved, or that 1t Is given as
an Investment. 'Molasses catches
more files than vinegar" Is an old say
Ing OF which time aud experience have
told the truth.
On the merchants side "lagniappe"
Is like any other form OF advertising
1t Is often heavy drain upon his re-
sources. whether It be given In snail
quantities to individuals. or in larger
dniOuHla 10 IdHs, ltStiNdls. tiaiiiltS,
etc. The returns are uncertain. Some
successful rival may be able TO offer
mora "lagniappe' and thus draw away
those who have benefited by the gem
erosity of merchant No. l. The public
is proyerblally ungrateful, and prone
to go where It can get the largest Inn
mediate return for the money expend-
ed. unmlndful OF past favors But
people must advertise and take the
risks, say the merchants. and though
this sort OF advertising may not pay
It Is kept up from year to year in one
form or another. The merchants
wares may he OF more or less ma
terial sort; they may range from the
commOnest article of food or clothing
TO riches. honor, or political prefer
ment. But those who buy them expect
and usually manage TO get their ''lagn-
lappe. "-Waterbury American.

The omnivorous qualities OF the os-

fowls. kittens, and bones. Mr.. Schrei-
ner tells of one swallowing also box
of peaches, tennis balls. several yards
of fencing wire, and half a dozen cart
ridges. One followed the workmen and
picked up the wire as they cut 1t. Most
frequently the ostrich does not swal-
low each dainty separately, but collects
several in Its throat and then swallows
them all at once. Sometimes 1t Is
strangled. Its windpipe is then cut

Of the shark tribe When "cutting in"
whales at sea, have often been amazed
ut the incredible numbers of these crea-
lures that gather In a short space Of
time, attracted by some mysterious
means from heaven only knows what
remote distances. 1t has often occurred
TO us. when whaling in the neighbor
hood of New Zealand, to get a sperm
whale alongside without a sign of q
shark below or bird above. Within
an hour from the time of our securing
tho vast mass of flesh to the ship the
whole area within at least an acre has
been alive with a seething multitude of
sharks, while from every quarter came
drifting silently AN inoalculable host Of
sea birds, converting the blue surface
of the sea into the semblanee of plain
Of new fallen snow.
The harpooners and officers from their
lofty position on the cutting stage slew
scores upon scores by simply dropping
their keen edged blubber spades upon
the soft crowns of the struggling fish,
the only place where shark is vulner-
able to instant death. The weapon
sinks into the creatures brain, he gives
a convulsive writhe or two releases his
hold and slowly sinks, followed in his
descent by knot of his immediate
neighbors. all anxious to provide him
