How the Carving Was Done,

when l was young man." said q
San Francisco artist, "a friend Of mine
who returned from China brought
home lot of pearl shells beautifully
etched or engraved with figures and
landscapes on the inside of the shells.
did not marvel so much at the en-
craving as l did at the cheapness of
the shells. I couldn't help thinking
that some of the engravings must have
taken a day or two to make, and yet
they sold for little or nothing, my
friend said.
"On my request he made an investi-
cation Of the subject and discovered
that the Chinese had used the follow
ing plan: Instead of craving the pic
ture into the hard shell. an operation
that would have been laborious and
slow, the Chinese drew the sketch on a
little scrap of tea lead and inserted it
into the pearl oyster shell when it was
tender The inside of the shell in this
manner got an impression of the sketch
from the tea lead picture. and as soon
as 1t was sufficiently well printed the
Chinese would take the lead out and
insert 1t in another shell. and so on.
That's how the carved shells came to
be so cheap or at least that was the
explanation that was made to me by
my friend"

Etiquette In 1894.

Here is curious extract from the
iourt regulations of the Hofburg for
he year 1924 on the etiquette to be OBJ
served by officers when invited to the
oyal table. The regulation begins by
;tating that officers usually behave un-
Ter such circumstances with great po-
iteness and good breeding. like true
md worthy cavaliers" but that the
emperor thinks 1t necessary to issue
the following directions for the use of
inexperienced cadets:
81. officers should come to the palace
handsomely dressed and not enter the
room in half drunken state.
''2. When they are at table, they
should not rock about on their chairs
nor sit back and stretch out their legs.
SO. They should not drink after each
mouthful, as by so doing they will very
soon get drunk, nor drink more than
half a glass at time, and before
drinking they should wipe their lips
and mOustachios.
a. They should not put their hands
in the dishes nor throw bones under
the table
"5. They should not lick their fin
gers nor drink SO brutally as to fall Off
their chairs"

origin of .under the Rose. ~

In Greek mythology the rose was the
symbol Of silence, as it was said that
Cupid, the son of Venus, gave the god of
silence golden rose as bribe to con-
ceal the amours of the goddess Of love.
1t was, therefore, sculptured on the
ceilings of banqueting halls and placed
as a sign above the doors of question
able resorts. Guests at feasts were
crowned with roses to intimate that
their conversations while In their cups
were not to be repeated elsewhere.
The phrase obtained currency in
Greece after Pausanias, the admiral of
the Greek feet plotted with Xerxes to
betray the cause OF the Greeks by sur
rendering the ships, the negotiations
being conducted in small banqueting
hall, the roof of which was, as usual,
covered with sculptured roses. The
plot however, was discovered and or.
ders given for the arrest of the traitor.
Pausanias endeavored to make his ref
uge in temple which possessed the
right of asylum. Unwilling to violate
the sanctity of the place by forcibly
removing him and still more unwilling
10 allow him to escape, his fellow citi-
zens walled up every entrance and,
by one account, left him to die Of star
vation; by another, killed him by un-
roofing the building and throwing
down the tiles on his head.

A Defender of Black Snakes,

The reporter was advised not to kill
black snake under any circum-
stances. An old, honest, reliable man
explained this:
"Only few days ago saw black
racer whizzing around in a circle, his
flaming eyes distended. His attention
seemed riveted on something not far
away. l advanced, and, to my aston
ishment, saw large rattlesnake coil
ed up in battle array. The black snake
continued his circuits, getting a little
nearer to its victim each time. After
10 or Is minutes the rattlesnake drop
ped his head on the ground. Almost
instantaneously the black snake pounc-
ed upon its victim. After securely fas-
tening his teeth in the back of the rat
tlesnake's head he began his deadly
coiling. Within five minutes that rat
tlesnake was dead. So don't kill a
black snake"
The color came in the old gentle
mans face as he was relating the
above, and he said:
q Boys, black snakes are game, but
they won't hurt you, for 1 had one for
pet for years, and because my old
woman woke one night and found the
snake in bed she raised an awful fuss
and killed it."-Lebanon (Ky.) Enter

Polite, hut Embarrassing.

A pretty little miss of about il sum-
mers nearly broke up a wedding party
ut Linwood a short while ago. 1t was
about the hrst wedding that she hr A
ever attended, and she felt the inIor-
tance Of the occasion very much. After
the ceremony she noticed that the peo-
pie went up to the bride and groom and
made remarks TO them. She supposed
that they were words OF congratula-
ton or coincidence OF something Of that
sort, but her ideas Of the proper thing
30 say under the circumstances were a
little vague. Finally she whispered to
an old friend Of the family who was
near by:
what shall say when 1 go up
there?" she faltered.
"Oh, just anything TO show them that
you are glad they are married. Just
something supplementary, you know"
In few minutes the little miss had
made her way to where the happy cou-
pie were receiving the congratulations.
There was quite crowd around, but
she didn't mind them one bit. She
marched straight up to the bride and,
extending her hand, said:
II wish you many happy returns of
the day"
The remark convulsed every one in
hearing, but the little miss left the
church with the consciousness that she
had observed the proprieties.-Cincin-

A Lazy BcEgar.

/ once had a conversation, said an
Isle of Man bank manager, speaking
of Hall Caine, with two old friends of
mine, farmer and his buxom wife,
who live within few yards of Greeba
castle, the great Manx authors resi-
dence. Hall Caine had just taken up
his abode in his new house, and l start.
ed the conversation by saying to the
worthy farmer and wife:
$50 you have the great Hall Caine
near you now?'
Farmer and Wife-Aye, man.
Farmers Wife-And what tremenjus
style they are keeping. It's amazing.
Farmer-And what's he doing for
living, Mr.. -?
Bank Manager greatly astonished)-
What, don't you know he is a popular
author?
Farmer-And what's that?
Bank Manager-Why, he writes SIC
cessful books.
Farmer with fine show of con-
tempD-The lazy beggar!
l need hardly say, concluded my
correspondent that l collapsed.

boy and Wooden uck.

The joy Of pursuing the woodchuck
is a part of the happiness of rural life.
The boy is lacking in physical develop
ment and in numerous mental and
moral qualities growing out of the ex-
perience who has not spent day pour
ing water down woodchuck hole on
the hillside with view to drowning
out the occupant. This is said to re-
fresh the woodchuck, and, as for the
boy, 1t toughens his muscles as no CON-
pulsory labor could do, and it cultivates
patience, hope and persistency. Given
a good brook, an ample hole and an in
dustrious boy, full days work on the
outside and a complacent woodchuck
on the inside may be safely guaran-
teed.-Hartford Courant.

A portrait traced by nature on a wo-
mans tombstone, says The Scots Pic
torial, has recently been discovered in
Jedburgh graveyard, near the famous
abbey. The stone was erected In 1898
By a worthy bailie OF Jethart to the
memory of his wife, Alison Renwick.
The slow finger of time has worn away
most of the facing OH the front of the
stone, and part of it is overgrown with
moss, which has outlined the features.
Local opinion favors the view that the
face is likeness of the good old lady
who sleeps beneath, theory which
has at least the merit of being difficult
of disproof. since no one living can pos
sibly have seen her.

why We Begin with Soup

why we BeRfn Win soup.
The rationale of the initial soup has
often been discussed. Some regard it
as calculated to diminish digestive
power on the theory that SO much fluid
taken at first dilutes the gastric juices.
But there appears to. be no foundation
for this belief. A clear soup disap-
pears almost Immediately after enter
Ing the stomach and in no way inter-
feres with gastric juice, which is stor-
ed In its appropriate cells ready for ac-
ton. The habit of commencing dinner
with soup has without doubt its origin
in the fact that aliment in this fluid
form-in fact, already digested-soon
enters the blood and rapidly refreshes
the hungry man, who, after a consid-
erable fast and much activity. sits
down with a sense of exhaustion 70
commence his principal meal.
In two or three minutes after he has
taken a plate Of good warm soup the
feeling Of exhaustion disappears, and
irritability gives way to gradual ris-
ing sense of good fellowship with the
circle. The soup introduces Mt once
into the system a small installment Of
ready digested food and saves the
short period of time which must be
spent by the stomach in deriving some
nutriment from solid aliment, as well
as indirectly strengthening the organ
of digestion itself for it's Forthcoming
duties.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Then There Wa. Trouble.

A well dressed, ladylike looking wo-
man entered a car the other day with
her little boy Of about 9 years of age.
On the conductor coming to collect the
fares the lady handed her little son a
quarter, he being nearer the door. The
little fellow examined the coin careful
ly and then gave 1t to the conductor.
Scarcely had the man returned the
change than the youngster olapped his
hands and, looking Mt his mother, ex-
claimed trlumphantly:
Mamma, mamma. he has taken the
bad quarter"

vulturs. and Ftsttr..ns,s...

When the international boundary
commission resurveyed the lines be.
tween the United States and Mexico,
there were naturalists in the party.
DIR. Menrns, who. with his assistants,
collected many specimens of birds and
mammals, tells Of fight in the air be-
tween q California vulture and a rat
uesnake which he saw while exploring
the Cocopah mountains of Lower Cal
fornia.
It was in the early morning. The big
bird had seized the snake behind the
head and was struggling upward with
Its writhing, deadly burden. The
snakes captor appeared aware that its
victim was dangerous The burden
was heavy, as the reptile was nearly
five feet long.
The grip Of the bird on the snakes
body was not of the best. The snake
seemed to be squirming from its cap
tors talons, at least sufficiently to en-
able it to strike. Its triangular head
was seen to recoil and dart at the mass
of feathers.
1t did this once or twice, and then,
with a shrek. the vulture dropped it's
prey. The bird was probably 800 feet
or so above the observers The aston
ished men were then treated to a spec
tacle seldom seen. Few birds but q
vulture could accomplish such feat.
The instant the snake escaped from
the birds clutches 1t dropped EARTH
ward like shot, and, like shot, the
bird dropped after it, catching it in
midair with a grip that caused death.
At any rate, the snake ceased to wrig-
gle, and the vulture scared away to a
mountain peak to devour its hard earn
ed meal.-Youth's Companion.
