School Pupils Adopt Rules of Etiquette

School Pupils Adopt Rules of Etiquette.
A new departure which has been
inaugurated by the Waterloo high
school of Auburn, Ind. may be adopted
by the schools of the country. About
100 of the pupils have signed their
names to the following rules of eti-
.quette:
/. We will not communicate nor
ask to communicate while in the school
building.
2. We will keep refined positions
in our school seats.
3. We will cultivate a light step.
4. We will not ask for individual
favors.
5. We will prepare all writing ma
terlal in the morning.
6. We will make the schoolroom
place of quietude.
These rules on general manners
also have been signed:
]. We will not allow others to be
more polite to us than we are to them.
2. We will not make ourselves
odious in the use of tobacco.
And here are some street manners:
/. We will, on passing people on
the street, give them half of the walk.
2. We will not jeer at anyone on
the street or off the street.
9. We, the gentlemen, will tip our
hats to ladies.
4. We will avoid being boisterous
wherever we NAV be,
This novel rule for getting the OBJ
servance of rules of good behavior has
taken a strong hold on the children
of all ages. New York Journal.

Our Feet Growing Larger.

Shoemakers and haberdashers who
cater to the wants of the elite assert
that their patrons this season demand
hosiery and shoes averaging from one
half to one and a half sizes larger
than they did five years ago. The
majority of the dealers believe that
the average length and breadth of
mems feet have been steadily increas-
ing since the wane of the fashion
which demanded a pointed toe and
tight fitting shoe.
This they explain by saying that the
effect of the style in vogue six years
ago was to cramp and distort the nat
ural development of the feet. When
the style changed and comfort became
the criterion of fashion nature again
exerted itself. Feet which had become
distorted during the reign of the mar
row shoe and pointed toe slowly be-
gan to broaden and adapt themselves
to their new surroundings.
The change, being gradual, went for
n long time unnoticed, and not until
the merchants recently began to com
pare their sales of five years ago with
those of today was it found that the
average increase has been approx
mately one size. New York Herald.

ODD THINGS in CUBA.
The Way Natives Plant Fences and American
Soldiers Planted Tables

Some odd things happen In Cuba.
When a man wishes fence around his
yard or field, he doesn't build 1t, he
plants ft-and 1t grows, too. First he
cuts great bundle of pinon twigs,
then he scratches little trench where
he wants his fence to run and finally
he sticks in the twigs in a row few
inches apart. The soil of Cuba is so
rich, and the weather so warm and
moist that directly the twigs take root.
throw out branches and leaves and
presently there is q dense hedge of
pinon trees enclosing the field. And
there are no nails TO drop out here
nor boards to fall down and let in the
cattle and the fence is good for hun
dred years.
Nor is that the most curious thing
that one may see in Cuba. What would
you think of camp table that grew?
While the American soldiers were
camped back at Santiago they made
great numbers of little tables by driv
ing forked sticks in the ground for
legs and using q top of boards. OF
course the legs took root and some of
these tables are now nicely shaded by
leafy branches, and in two or three
years four nice trees will be growing
there, and no one will ever dream that
they were once table legs. Another
curious thing. At Guantanamo an old
tin can was fastened around the
branch of big Cuban laurel tree some
four or five feet from its leafy end.
1t was packed full of earth, and Amer
leans wondered what could the pur-
pose of 1t.
That's simple enough" said the Gu
ban householder. I'm a few weeks
| roots will grow in the earth inside the
| tin can. Then we can cut off the limb
| Just back of the can, stick it in the
ground take away the can and it will
| grow into a tree"
Plant a cauliflower plant in Cuba and
instead of spreading out in a big fat
head like a cabbage, it spindles up for
all the world like q sunfiOwer, three
or four feet high, with big rank leaves
and a little flower at the top that you
never could recognize as caulifiower.

EIec.r!c Ticket Selling Machine.

There is at present under construc>
ton in the workshop of George Kirke-
gard an electric machine which will
be used on the elevated stations for
selling tickets. The machine referred
to is to be constructed in such way
that when you drop your nickel in the
slot you will receive ticket in ex-
change. There will be four of these
on each of the larger stations.
The reason why this system has
been adopted by the railroad trustees
is to do away with the expense of av-
ing an agent on each station. 1t is
believed that the machines under
construction will be put into use with

freed from water, then treated with
glycerine and a mixture of acid at
about boiling temperature. The Wis
cid, gummy mass obtained is dried and
pulverized. The powder. mixed with
four or five per cent. of water, is
pressed, molds being used if desired,
and the product is a homogeneous,
solid block of almost metallic ring. 1t

great advantage being that it does no

Busy Life of q Chnaman Minister Ia Sal

Rev. Jee Gam is quite a power iL
San Francisco. He has been a mis-
siOnary there for the American Mis-
SiOnary Society for tWenty-nine years
and has been engaged in most i'm
portant work in connection with his
charge. Aside from those labors, he is
official court interpreter in the San
Francisco courts, and il in all q very

wears broad, coarse shoes, the same
wide-cut black trousers and blue

showing that even if he is a Christian
and a reverend there is nothing of the

man. There is scarcely a trace of di-
alect in his conversation and he uses
the choicest of language.
Talking recently to some interested
