Hostess Sometimes Depends on HAIR
Trigger Intelects.
If the hostess can catch no comet.
she must be contented with meteoric
wits, who make up for real brilliancy
by saying what they do say quickly
and spontaneously-with the punsters,
in short, and such hair-trigger intel
lects. Failing these, say the presum-
ably humorous Gelett Burgess in Har-
per's Bazaar, the last class above the
bores positive are those we'll meaning
diners out who load themselves with
stories for a dinner as a soldier goes
into an engagement with a belt full OF
cartridges. They may not get a chance
for a shot very often, but, given an
opening, their fire Is accurate and
deadly till the last round is gone when
they are at the mercy Of a more in
ventive wit. Yet even these welter-
weights have their place at the table,
for we must have bread, as well as
wine. II was one of Lewis Carrolls
pet fancies to have a dinner table in
the shape Of a ring, and half the
guests seated inside upon a platform
which revolved slowly around the cir
Gle till each one had passed opposite
every guest seated on the outside OF the
table. But this would break up many
Of the little secret schemes for which
the modern dinner is planned, and
many a young man would suddenly
find himself flirting with the wrong
lady across the board. And this last
hint carries me from the exoteric to
the esoteric charms OF the dinner. Here
however, you must guess your own
way. l dare not tell you precisely
what it means when Celestine shifts
her glass from left to right of her plate,
nor what l answer when l raise my
serviette by one corner, for Celestine
may dine with you some day, and you
may remember. You would better not
invite me, anyway, for, though ! am
not a comet, yet l admit l would be
mad enough to upset the claret pur-
posely rather than have nothing ex-
citing happen.

The Natives object.

The United States authorities in
Porto Rico are witnessing now the I'M
pleasant sequel of charity-the unwill-
ingness Of those on whom it has been
bestowed to go back to work. Last
August a frlghtful hurricane swept the
island and deprived the majority Of
the inhabitants of their food resources.
There was nothing to do but feed
them or let them starve. Public and
private charity came to their relief.
The policy of feeding them until they
were able to plant and gather new
crops was adopted unhesitatingly. It
was assumed that by the beginning Of
this year It would be possible to stop
Issuing rations. But when that time
came 1t was found impossible to stop
entirely. An aggregate Of 10000 ra-
lions daily is yet being issued. It
has been decided to quit this business
entirely before the close Of the month.
but the natives are making loud OBJ
jectiOns.

wal has been waged by the whites in
the United States against the original
Indian population. Gradually the
~CherOkees, Choctaws, Greeks and
Sioux have been driven further and

government deems it advisable to keep
a body Of picked troops to guard the
Indian Territory. for every now and

Years without speaking TO Him.
A man of the maine of George Gould
lives at New Rochelle, New York
whose wife has lived ID the same house
and sat at the same table with him

twenty years. They were married in

Struggles That Have Been Waged
for Centuries.

Since the first foreigner. In the per-
son Of a Dutchman. landed on the ia-
land Of sumatra in 1449, the native
Achinese have combatted the usurping
Of their land foot by foot. In the be-
ginning Of the present century the la-
land came into British hands. but was
soon restored to Holland. Then again
the Achinese took up arms against the
Dutch invaders. Although when the
Dutch a get the Achinese out 10 the
open they invariably beat them, the
war continues in a desultory manner
today, and will only end when the last
native Of sumatra has been killed in
action. The number of Achinese killed
has " been known, but the war
has been a very serious drain on the
manhood Of Holland, and many Of her
best soldiers were killed between the
years 1873 and 1879, when the struggle
was very bitter.
Three Centuries.
Since 1904, when the Persians sur
rendered Armenia to Turkey the num-
o sultans Of Turkey have never
sheathed their swords in regard to the
former country, save in the flesh Of
the inhabitants. True, every now and
again, when matters are very slow in
European politics, some country be-
comes righteously indignant and a
concert Of Europe is called and a note
sent to the Sultan. Still the fighting
goes on-or, rather, the butcherlng. At
the beginning of the present century
Algiers finally passed into the hands Of
France. From that time till the
present the French nation has always
kept an army Of not less than 81, 900
French troops garrisoned there, to
night the Arabs who infest the hinter-
land and raid the French possessions

these are the T~ouaregs, who fight with

an error. Cold is a most potent agent
for the restoration and preservation OF

is through the circulation Of the blood
that the human anatomy is kept III a

Similar divining rods were used in
the time of Moses and Aaron. Marco
Polo found them in China. Philip
Melancthon, the religious reformer

to their efficiency, and defended them
from the inquisition, by which they
were denounced and prohibited.
Divining rods have commanded the
faith and confidence of all races In all

been little improvement in the design.
Electricity is now used, however, for
such matters more than the ordinary
