Belding banner. (Belding, Mich.) 1889-1918, 1902-09-11

Gentlemen In Mexico tip hats when
ever they see each other, they shake
hands whenever they meet ard part,
they do not consider il bad form TO
stand In line on the sidewalks ana
stare at the ladies, they wear their
hats In theater until the curtain rises,
and, moreover, they put them ON be-
tween the acts and stand up 10 look
mt the audience, and after a separa-
ton they embrace and pat each other
on the back If they happen to be init
mate friends
They smoke everywhere, even In
some theaters. They never carry bun
dies In the street, but each Is attended
by servant, who carries even the
smallest package. They are wonder
fully courteous to each other, and two
friends will spend Il good deal of time
in deciding which shall enter n room
or carriage first.
Finally, every Mexican gentleman
when strollng on a street insists on
giving the inside of the walk to his
companion as mark of politeness.
This point is quickly decided II there
is n difference IN station or age. bat II
there is not. and the two friends 80

the relative = sitions are changed, Il

cupy the inside becomes necessary al

Monkey cleverness has long been IA
nous. They are past masters In the
delicate use of their fingers. A It'll was
wont to steal specimen insects from
the cabinet In which they were kept.
A mona could pick lock, undo knot
or take off a ring. Livingstone's soko
was just as smart with fingers and
thumb. A macaco opened boxes, and a
marmoset turned over the leaves of n
book which ii pretended to read. A
squirrel monkey which disliked tobac-
co used to whip its masters cigar out
Of his mouth. There once was a goril-
In in the zoo at Dresden which would
take off its keepers boots and put them
on again. A capuchin removed the
hinges of the door of Its cage by ex-
tracing the nails and screws out Of
the wood. In Benares, where the mon
keys are spoiled" they play all sorts
Of tricks on passersby, besides pelting
them with missiles. Even the orang
outang has condescended to unite the
knots in his chain. The monkeys that
act as detectives in monkeydom must
have n very busy time of 1t.

FOR THE CHILDREN


In this season OF fashionable demand
for chains OF unique design the little
girl can find an amusing and pleasing
diversion in making for herself, her
older sister or friends really novel
and dainty chain from the seeds OF the
cantaloupe or watermelon. They should
be strung while still moist, for II per-
mitted to dry they will split when the
needle is run through them. Delight
fully pretty chains Pre- made of musk
melon seeds interspersed with beads or
steel or turquoise, such as can be
bought IL any department store for a
few cents. Bracelets, too, quite elab-
crate in design, can be similarly made.
and If the little workman Is at all orig
inal and makes the conjunction beads
into star groups or triangles the effect
Is most excellent. Even dried peas and
beans, when moistened, can be made
to represent very unique lorgnette or
watch chains in combination with col
ored beads, and the occupation is one
sure to appeal to the fancy OF the lit
tie girl who likes to make something
.truly" decorative and In style.
Another summer diversion for the
fingers of the little girl at the seashore
Is the stringing Of shells for a por-
there to the door of her fathers den or
mothers boudoir. All along the coast
may be found exquisite little shells
that lend themselves delightfully."- to
this use. Some Of the portieres that
have been created by little fingers are
most artistic. and surely father and
mother would feel most gratifled at
having little daughter devote so much
of her vacation leisure to making for
them such n lovely and desirable ad-
dition to the winter home.

Appetite and HUNGER.

Most persons do not discriminate
between hunger and appetite" said n
doctor of long experience. Appetite
is what makes man drink or smoke
and whht makes most men and WON
en- eat. Many go through life never
knowing what hunger really is. l
often fast sixty hours and never feel
the worse for II. friend of mine. a
physician in Brooklyn. goes without
food sixteen days at stretch and
keeps up his work meanwhile. There
isn't an organ that can contract any
disease from lack of food. Most OF
them do become diseased through the
effort TO take care of too much food.
They are all in better tone after fast.
Another thing, hunger Is felt only In
the mouth and throat That gone feel
ing that many complain of is not hun
ger; that is a form of disease. If per-
sons would eat only when they were
hungry and only as much as hunger,
not appetite. called for-well. we doc
tors would have TO ast."-New York

The Electrical Review calls attention
to an interesting explanation Of the
burning OF coal Coal petroleum and
Illuminating gas are related to one an
other much as are Ice, water and
steam. For this reason perfect COM
bustion of liquid fuel Is already ad-
vanced a long step toward vaporiza-
ton. just as Ice is advanced toward
steam when turned into water. The
volatile elements Of coal are locked up
In solid form, or virtually frozen solid.
Professor Dewar demonstrated how
great an amount Of heat must be TAX
en- from the so called permanent gases
20 make them liquid and how much
more to make them solid. Yet nature
has solidlfied gas into the form Of coal,
and solid coal, like solid Ice. will only
dissolve into vapor through the ex-
penditure OF heat.

The Grentest Men.

1t would be Il difficult task. IL not an
impossible one, to persuade any half
dozen men casually brought together
into unaninIity of opinion concerning
the greatest man who ever lived. Most
Of them would agree no doubt with
Lord Broucham that julius Caesar was
1.-The greatest man OF ancient times. y
but how many of the six would accept
Professor Gardeners estimate of Cron
well as THE reatest Englishman Of al
timesf" Each of them, we may be
reasonably sure. would accept Shake
speare as the greatest poet, yet Lord
Lytton once spoke of Milton as 1.-The
greatest poet of our country" And
where will be found two men out OF
Scotland to agree with Charles Mackey
when he says of burns that he was
'thc greatest poet - next perhaps tC

Fer . p,nch Of S..a.


Louis XVIII. Of France, while recit-
ing an ode OF Horace to his chamber
lain one day, suddenly stopped to take
a pinch OF snuff and was annoyed TO
find that he had left the box In his
bedroom.
With low bow the chamberlain
handed him his own box. and the mon
arch took good pinch from II, after
which he recited the long ode to the
end. He then said to the chamber
lain:
You have poor niece, l believe.
Well, l like your SNUFF 80 well that
propose, az token of gratitude to
you, to give her the right to open toy
store I'm the TuIleries. will sign the
necessary papers this evening"
Thanks to this royal grant, the cham
berlain's niece conducted a small but
profitable business until her death, In
1850. Her little store then became the
property OF the state, and ever since II
has been rented for about 400 francs a
year.
Thus the French republic OF today
owes portion OF Its income to the
fact that Louis XVIII. appreciated
good snuff.

A famous English artist insists that
each city has its own peculiar odor;
that stranger can smell a city-"the
great, blended odor OF the entire city"
There Is truth In his remarks. When
stranger enters Munich, there Is
smell as of many breweries-a pecul-
lar, swedish yet pungent odor OF malt,
not at all unpleasant to beer drinker.
After day or two the smell is not re-
marked, but after the stranger leaves
the city the smell is distinct In his
memory; il exerts a spell; 1t urges him
to drop his work, to take the next
steamship. We have not been In Mu-
mich for seventeen years, but that sweet
smell haunh us still. Paris has pc
culiarly individual odor; SO has Lon
don, so has Berlin, so has Dresden.
Boston no ioubt has its own smell.
which is highly respectable, rather
musty. with suspicion Of old family
cockroaches.

The Game OF Polo.

The old game of polo is nothing more
than the game of shinney on horseback
or, rather, on ponyback. The pony
must be trained to play polo, and he
must be gentle, quick and swift. There
may be any number of players on a
side. The ball is made of wood, painted
stick has a handle six or seven feet
long. Each side has its goal, made by
driving two poles into the ground
about six feet apart. The ball is laid
in the center of the ground, and at a
signal the players make a dash for 1t.
Whichever side succeeds In driving IL
through the goal of Its opponents is the
victor.

The winter Of the far north is not
wholly silent although SO little life is
manifest at that season. paragraph
from Captain Koldewey's account OF
Dis winters stay on the east coast OF
Greenland makes this fact very clear:
All these movements of the ice-the
gradual crowding and pressing, bend
Ing and pushing, the breaking Of the
masses OF snow lying at the lice foot"
do not go on noiselessly, but are gen.
orally accompanied by certain sounds,
which are called the "voices" OF the
ice.
Now we hear low singing. splash
ing or grumbling, alternating with va
rious other noises, cracking and snap
ping; now II sounds irregularly from a
great distance, like a confusion OF hui
man voices. the changing din Of a
train or a sledging party, or you fancy
you hear the steps and voices Of all
sorts OF animals.
There is charm I'm listening to these
sounds on still night.
