building is in the center of the city, fac
ing the mansion house and Bank of
England.
Just how the grasshopper came to
find its elevated position is matter
more of tradition than history. One
account has it that in early days the
Royal exchange, being more or less in
the fields, was frequented by numer-
GUS grasshoppers, which dwelled in the
high grass of the exchange court.
From this circumstance, the London
builders of the present structure
thought to perpetuate memories of
these early times by placing a model OF
grasshopper upon the building.
The more authentic account, how
ever, is somewhat less fantastic. The
Royal exchange was built by Lord
Gresham. The crest of the Gresham
family-who were very old and dis
tinguished set of persons-was a grass
hopper. Now, when Gresham built the
exchange it is natural that his crest
should surmount the highest pinnacle
on the building.
OF course, the building built by Ores
ham has long since passed away. 1t

Another structure was erected, but it,
too, was burned down, though the pres

1t is singular coincidence that the
last tune played by the clock before
the flames reached the tower was
There's Nae Luck About the House."
The grasshopper was destroyed in
this second fire, but it was reconstruct
ed on more elaborate scale on the
of the last exchange. The last

legend went that when the grass
hopper on the Royal exchange and the
iragon on Bow church met, a great dis
aster would happen to London. Both

being repaired in the same shop about

In spite of British rule, India is yir-
tually soapless country. Throughout
the villages of Hindustan soap is. in
leed, regarded as natural curiosity.
and it is rarely if ever kept in stock by
the native shopkeeper. In the towns
t is now sold to certain extent. but
now small this is may be gathered from
the fact that the yearly consumption
of soap in India is about 100, 600 hun
dredweight; that is to say, every $500
persons use on an average only 112
pounds of soap among them; or. in
other words, considerably less than an
ounce is the average consumption of
a person.

NEW WONDER IN SURGERY.
Astounding Operation Is Performed

respondent reports that a 12-year-old
boy swallowed piece of lead the size
OF half sovereign. 1t passed the
trachea into a bronchus of the Sec

without performing tracheotomy or
using anaesthetics. Nevertheless tbe
operation was painless. This is be.
heved to have been the first time that
such an operation was ever performed
without dangerous surgical features.
The lead was located by means of
the Roentgen rays at the height of the
fourth rib. A Kilians troublesome
was inserted and electrically lighted
and the lead was extracted with
specially constructed pincette.

served Two score Years In India and
Won MANI Notable Victories
HIa Courage Exceeded Only
by His Modesty.

Throughout the length and breadth
of the vast British empire there is no
name that has become to such an ex-
tent household name as that of Field
Marshal Lord Roberts, popularity
known as "Bobs." The idol of Off
GERS, and especially of common SOL
diers, a man whose deeds and career
have furnished the theme of many a
stirring and patriotic verse, notably
by Rudyard Kipling, Lord Roberts Is
regarded by the military authorities
at Berlin, Vienna, Paris and St. Peters
burg as the foremost and perhaps the
only really capable British commander
of the Victorian era, his celebrated
march from Cabul TO Candahar con-
stituting one OF the finest feats of
English arms in modern times-a feat
which called forth the most enthusi-
astic praise on the part of that past
master of military science, Field Mar
shall Count Moltke.
''Bobs,' says the Philadelphia Press,
is the smallest holder of the queens
commission, being a mere pigmy asd
regards size. As general rule small
men, like small animals, are inclined
to be self-assertive. But there is no
soldier of the queen who is more free
from this defect than the little field
marshal, who is the most modest and
unassuming of officers. Perhaps no
stronger illustration of this can be
given than is contained in his book,
entitled Forty Years in India" Al
though he is covered with orders and
decorations bestowed upon him by a
grateful sovereign and country, yet
there is no trace of any insignia on

NOTES FROM MANILA.
Philippine Life Has Some Pleasant
and Delightful Phases.
Chinese Peddlers Go from House TO
House and Make Your Choco-
late While You Wnit-The
CacaO Benn Industry.

Here in Manila they make your choco-
late while you wait. Right in the house
Chinuman comes with his basket and
rolls the crushed cacao bean and sugar,
and then makes supply of chocolate
that is sweeter and more palatable and
cheaper than the commercial brand
sold in the Chicago stores.
When the Chinaman comes he lays
aside his hat and shirt, and, stripped
to the waist and barefooted, he be-
gins his work. In the basket is the
chocolate or cacao bean, from which the
rancid oil has been extracted and which
oil long ago has anointed the hair of
some Filipino belle or lighted some
Filipino home. The beans first come on
the board bitter and brackish. With IA
rolling pin the Chinaman grinds them
into fine powder. This takes time.
When it is done, he opens another bas-
ket and dips out the sugar for the
sweetening and the final mixture. The
sugar is what would probably grade
"coffee c" if it were in commercial cir
cles. Like the bean, however, it grows
on the island. Industriously the China
man rubs, and gradually the chocolate
forms on the bottom of the board and
drips off in sticky sweetness into the
basket beneath. The family gathers
about to sample the product and the
Chinaman stops to smoke cigarette
while judgment is being passed. Cups
of the beverage are handed around and

Pretty Ancient Cere,no.-

One part of the wedding ceremony
among the Babylonians was very siG-
niticant. The priest took a thread from
the garment of the bride, and another
from the garment of the bridegroom,
and tied them into a knot, which he
gave to the bride. This is probably the
origin of the modern saying about ty.
