HAVE SUNDAY OFF.
Naval Band at Norfolk Navy Yard Net
Obliged to Play at the Church
Services,

Church services are not official in
the navy. Acting Secretary Hackett
has rendered decision that members
of the naval bands cannot be required
to furnish music at divine service at
navy yards on Sundays, and that work
of this character on their part must
be voluntary. The decision was based
on an application of the chaplain at
the Norfolk navy yard to have mu-
sicians of the Marine band there de-
tailed to furnish the music for re-
ligious services conducted by him on
Sunday. The commandant of the yard
referred the matter to the navy de-
partment for Instructions. and the
chief of the bureau Of navigation and
the judge advocate general held that
such service was in the line of duty
for which the musicians enlisted. The
acting secretary, however, took con-
trary view, declining to direct the
,ommandant to order the musicians
to assist the chaplain. ''This," he
says, "had best be left to the volun-
tary determination of the members
of the band themselves"

YOUNG WOMEN SAW WOOD.
Unisue Performances C1ssev Meetfng
Of Christian Enaesvor Society
at PrOvidence. n, q,

A wood-sawing contest, with two
young women as the operators, was
the unique conclusion of the semian-
nual meeting Of the Christian Endeav-
or society Of the Lakewood Baptist
church at Providence, r. l., the other
night. The event was not down on
the programme, and even to the prin-
cipals the performance was sur
prise.
At the close of the meeting the
president arose, and, stating that the
two young women members who last
February debated the question wheth-
er woman could do the work of man
would prove it by saving wood,
brought out two sawbucks and two
sections of the same log of wood. It
was . good, able-bodied log, too.
Also, he had two saws, with nice,
sharp teeth.
The two young women looked dis
mayed. Then the humor of the situ-
alton dawned on them and they
smiled. One of them dared the other
to do II, and that settled the ques-
tion. Some of the young men showed
the girls how to place the log on the
buck and how to steady it by plant
ing knee on Il. Also, one of them
was advised to take fast strokes in
the contest to determine the quickest
sawyer Of the two.
The girls took positions and when
the word was given started at It..
One of the saws flew up and down in
short, ierky strokes until the teeth
stuck at intervals in the log, while
the buck danced over the floor. The
other young woman sawed like vet
eran and had the advantage of weight
and knee position. She finished her
log in one minute and so seconds,
winning the race, as well as the de-
bate, while the other took two min
utes and 32 seconds for the feat

TAe vissvews N nstsucsfsD - Dsp sing
IN Daleng Deaas Broks

! II happened down in southern
Arixona. "Tom" Preston had the
contract for the boarding house at
the Copper Matte mine, and he en-
ployed Hop Sing to preside ever the
destinies of the culinary department,
says the Los Angeles Times. Hop, It
10 unnecessary to explain, was an
almond-eyed son of the Flowery
Kingdom, and, like many Of his
brethren, had very definite ideas in
regard to HIS duties. Any criticism
from the men was duly resented, or,
more often, calmly ignored. Now, an
important article IN the dietary Of
q mining camp is beans-those large,
red "frijoles." When q man conveyed
spoonful of Hops "strawberries"
to his plate, they ratified like q rain
of pebbles. Preston complained that
they were not sufficiently cooked, and
Hop, with one of his bland smiles,
promised to do better next time. But
the next time beans appeared on the
table they again battered on the
plates like hailstones. After the meal
was finished Preston went into the
kitchen, and, placing quantity of
beans in kettle of water, told the
Chinaman to let them soak over
night. II am going to show you how
to cook beans." he said; but Hop
only smiled, and replied: "You no
savvy how cook"
Next morning Preston ordered two
kettles of water placed on the stove.
and, putting the beans in one, told
the Cninaman when they cooked
down to use the hot water from the
other to replenish it. He returned
at intervals to see that they were
not all we'd to burn; putting in a
pinch of soda, and, when they were
quite tender, added the salt and pork,
and directed AAop to allow them to
cook an hour longer. Hop watched
the proceedings with evident inter
est, but occasionally ventured to re-
mark: You no savvy how cook"
That's the way I want You to
cook BEANS" Preston commanded.
That day the beans were excellent,
and Preston was delighted with the
result Of his efforts. There would be
uO HOTC Hdll-COOScu IOOu ScTVcu dI
that table. But the next time the
dish appeared on the menu he was
dismayed and chagrined to hear the
old familiar cfatter on his plate.
They were about as hard and indi-
gestible as bullets. He rose from
the table and, without word,
stepped into the kitchen, and dealt
the Celestial blow on the jaw that
sent him sprawhng to the floor.
Then he kicked him under the Ia
Bile, and as the unfortunate creature
crawled to the door to escape his
wrath, he gave him another kick
which landed him in the road outside
A few minutes later, as he passed
where the crestfallen culprit was
nursing his bruises, he said: Nov,
you can come to the Office and I will
make out your time"
"What, you no want me to work
FOR you more?"
"After what has happened I did
not suppose you would care to work
any more"
"Me savvy how cook beans now"
he humbly replied. And so it proved
for the lesson had been well learned

Matte. and his beans are unsurpassed

PROMISING PUPILS.
Porto Rican Children Found to Be
Intelligent and Tractable.
Lack the vitality ana vivaeity Of
American School Children-NOt
Given to Mischief Making
and Pranks.

Porto Rican children in the schools
are, as q rule, bright, intelligent and
tractable, according to reports of the
superintendent of education of that
island. They have not the superabund-
ant vitality of American children and
are not given to mischief making and
pranks during school hours. II they
have a fault, 1t might be said they are
almost too pliable, that they receive
new ideas and impressions too easily
without thought.
This characteristic is in part racial,
but has been accentuated by the super
fetal methods Of teaching formerly in
vogue.
In town schools child's age In fair

in rural districts boys of ~ and IA
years are frequently found who are

of six and ten years. Few boys, and

quently, as the tendency toward su-
perficial study is exceedingly strong.
In the cases of irregular attendance
the parents are generally to blame. In
the country districts many heads of
families manifest surprising indif-
ference as to the education of their
children. This is, not true to such an
extent in the towns. and the town
schools are all full to overf1owing.
AS compared with American children
the Porto Ricans> are not advanced so
rapidly for various reasons. In the
country the attendance is irregular,
largely on account of bad roads, wet
weather and long distances. The chill
dren in the country and the poorer
ones of the town are not properly fed.
The principal food they have is coffee,
rice, beans and Goldfish, when it can be
obtained. Many do not attend school
on account of the lack Of clothing.
These children do not seem to know
how to play, as American children do.
This is partly due to the fact Aat
scarcely any of the schools are provid-
ed with Fairgrounds of any kind. Ex-
cessive heat during the middle of the
day discourages violent exercise, and
for this reason it is believed they never
win take that interest in athletic
games which one sees among American
children.

HANDSPRING IN MEXICO.
The Custom Ia Uniyersal and Be
comes Intensely Annoying to
Strangers.

I. Hand-shaking in Mexico is much
more commonly indulged in than in
Anglo-Saxon countries. Foreigners
resident here for any length Of time
inevitably fall into the habit uncon-
sciously of shaking hands upon all .oc-
casions, and it becomes 30 natural
that upon their return to countries
where a more distant formality is OBJ
served, they are at . loss to know
what to do with their hands and must
frequently reflect upon their sur
roundings in order not to feel almost
an affront at the hurried nod of pass
ing friend, or the unceremonious en-
trance and departure of guests. In
Mexico friends would not think of en-
tering or leaving house without
shaking hands, not only with the host
and hostess, but all other guests who
might be present, and the ladies' would
kiss each other, both coming and go
ing, on both cheeks. They even OBJ
serve this formality upon the occa-
sion of a chance meeting on the street,
or in the car, says the Chicago Chron-
icle.
Gentlemen acquaintances passing
each other on the street either tip
their hats as they would to . lady, or
at least salute each other with the
hand by touching the hat, or in more
of military fashion. Gentlemen who
are old friends stop and shake hands
and pass the compliments Of the day.
and, if they have not met for some
time, they win undoubtedly go
through what is termed the "bear
hug" put their arms around each 9TH
er and pat each other on the back, one
passing one arm over the shoulder of
his friend, the other under his other
arm, while the second party occupies
. reverse position. When this embrace
is concluded they shake hands and tip
their hats, at the same time murmur-
ing the conventional words of greet
ing. Then they are ready. to inquire
as to the health of the respective mem
bers of the two families. Gentlemen
shake hands with many of their
friends both upon entering and leav-
: ing street car. The inspector of the
tickets on the cars will shake hands
with q number Of his regular passen-
gers every morning, clerks behind the
counter of adry goods store will shake
hands with the CUSTOMERS that they
know, and when the employees of a
store or mercantile establishment as
semble in the morning the formal
greeting is never omitted.
