DOUBLE DAILY TRANScSo;Nrl,ITlIr
SERVICE BY SOUTHERN fAe"
The Press., 1902-09-11

To avoid the trouble of housekeep-
ing, many wealthy Parisians board
with their butler, so to speak. Instead
of ordering the food for the household
from day to day, they pay fixed sum
per month to their butler or housekeep-
er, who contracts to supply them with
the usual three meals per day, COM
posed of the customary courses, says
What to Eat. The price paid for this
service varies in accordance with the
style of living If guests be invited to
dinner or any sort Of entertainment be
given, an extra sum per head is paid.
In this way the lady of the house
avoids the annoyance of butchers and
bakers bills, and if the butler does
not keep his part of the contract it is
easy enough to find another to replace
him, OF course. the presidents house
hold is carried out on this plan on a
large scale, and many of the big stores
supply all their employees with daily
meals in the same manner. The banks
and other adminiStrat tons of similar
nature often furnish the monday meal
to their clerks by contract, the latter
paying n tritiing sum toward the cost.

THROWING THE LASSO.
The Manner In Which the Rope Z
Handled by am Expert.

The Manner In Which the Rope N
Handled by an Expert.
ga mistaken impression prevails In
the mind of the public in regard to the
manner in which lasso is handled"
says an expert. 1.-THE idea that the loop
is always swung around the head be-
fore making cast, especially when
the roper is on foot, is erroneous. No
man of experience ever makes a cast
In this fashion from the ground in
practical work. There are several rea-
sons why he does not. One Of them Is
that the movement is likely to frighten
the stock, especially horses; another
that he may have to wait some min
utes before a favorable opportunity
occurs for making a cast. He knows
that better results are obtained by
holding the rope as unobtrusively as
possible, even keeping 1t concealed
from the object of capture.
"On the contrary, however, when
mounted and in pursuit it is absolutely
necessary to swing the loop over and
around the head, for the cast must be
made with the greatest possible force
In order to overcome not only the for
ward movement of the pursued, but
also the action of the wind should that
chance to be against you.
"As to the manner of casting, some
'ropers' cast with a quick, jerky move
ment of the hand, seeming to use the
arm very little and the body not at all.
Others employ body, arm and hand.
Both methods are effective when per-
fected by practice"

PERSIAN RUGS.
A Safe Rule by Which to Distinguish
the Genuine Ones,


the Genuine Ones.
A great many persons fiatter them
selves that they are able to tell q gen.
uine Persian rug from Il spurious ma
chine made one by touch, but in this
they deceive themselves. The best and
surest way to tell genuine from an
imitation Persian rug is the following:
If one will look closely, one will OBJ
serve that in the genuine Persian rug
the intricate and complicated pattern
or design is not altogether symmetric-
al, the corresponding flowers, vines or
geometrical figures of one side being
q little out of line, larger or smaller
or not meeting and pointing with fig
ures on the corresponding detail on the
opposite side of the rug. This is owing
to the fact that in hand weaving it is
impossible to obtain perfect symmetry
Of patterns, especially when the de-
signs are us complicated as they are
ON Persian rugs. On the other hand
let one examine closely the machine
made rug, and one will find the most
perfect symmetry of pattern, SO much
so in fact that the design looks posi-
lively rigid and harsh. This Il pretty
safe guide, and If observed one will
seldom mistake an imitation for a gen.
uine Persian rug.

Candles.

81 thought candles went with stage
coaches, but a good many people must
use them yet" said a shopper who
pointed to Il collection of candlesticks,
all of the utility sort, arrayed in a
house furnishing department. There
were big and little, ornamental and
plain, practical and impractical ones.
Some had broad trays, and others had
none at all, and some had devices for
lifting the candle, while others were
made with deep necks. There still re-
main people who cling to the traditions
of their ancestors and will have none
of the modern lighting inventions for
their sleeping rooms. Certain women
prefer a light in their bedrooms until
they are asleep, and for this purpose a
candle is just the thing, for it will put
itself out at the time proportional by
it's length.-New York Tribune

Edith was very thoughtful as she
kissed her aunt and went to her room.
There on her tea table the maid had
placed vase filled with American
Beauties. She flushed as she looked
at them. What had she said to Jimmy
about hating violets?
That evening when Jim Barber call
ed on his f1ancee Edith was wearing
the violets. He elevated his eyebrows
slightly, then bent down to kiss the
tender, upturned face. Edith was look.
ing unusually pensive.
II thought you hated violets. Didn't
you get the roses this afternoon"
Edith smiled.
II won't fib, Jimmy. l do like roses
why-why, that makes them different
you know"
Jim, rather surprised at the sudden
tenderness and gentleness of his whim
steal sweetheart, held her close to his
heart. At last she raised her head and
pulling some violets from her corsage
fastened them on his coat. Again he
stopped to kiss her hands as she wills
pered:
''You don't think. Jimmy, that
there's going to be war-very soon?'
Jimmy, who belonged to the national
guard, glanced at her curiously.

She sighed happily and murmured
'I'm very, very glad"

CultiVnting Ginger.

Ginger is made IL matter of scientific
culture in Jamaica. 1t is propagated by
cutting up small pieces Of the root, and
If possible, rich, cool soil from recent
ly cleared woods is selected for it. 1t
Is great impoverished of the soil and
grows so luxuriantly that in a short
time little piece of root will spread so
as to produce nearly pound Of new
roots. The sets are planted in March
or April and get to their full growth
about September.
The roots are dug usually in Jamaica
in January or February. They are
washed, exposed to the sun until thor
oughly dried and packed III parcels of
about hundred pounds each. In order
to dry them more rapidly they are first
scaldcd in little copper pot in order
to destroy life. of which the roots are
very tenacious. White ginger ana
black ginger are from the same roots,
the difference arising from methods of
curing. Roots for sugar preserving are
dug while quite young, before the
stems are more than five or six inches
high.

Thackeray's Facial Appearance.

In 1S49 or 1850 Charlotte Bronte
wrote of Thackeray: ST. me the broad
brow seems to express intellect. Ger
tain lines about the nose and cl.eek be-
tray the satirist and the cynic; the
mouth indicates Il childlike simplicity,
perhaps even Il degree of irresoluteness
in conSistency-Weakn in short, but
a weakness not unamiable" And Mr..
Motley, writing to his wife in 1858,
said: Il believe you have never seen
Thackeray. He has the appearance Of
q colossal infant-smooth, white, shin
ing, ringlety hair, fiaxen, alas, with ad-
vancing years; a roundish face with a
little dab of n nose, upon which it is a
perpetual wonder how he keeps his
spectacles."
This broken nose was always source
of amusement to Thackeray himself.
He caricatured it in his drawing, he
frequently alluded to it in his speech
and in his letters, and he was fond Of
repeating Douglas Jerrold's remark to
him when he was to stand as godfather
to friends son, Lord, Thackeray,
hope you won't present the child with
your own mug!'

Fourth Century Shorthand.

That shorthand was used in the an
cient world is we'll known, but our i'll
formation is still scanty. and any adj
dition is welcome. 1t may therefore
be worth knowing that there is in the
Armenian "Acts of st. Callistratus"
reference to the employment of Ste
biography. A translation of this is in
cluded in Mr.. F. G. Conybeare's ar
menian Apology and Acts of Apollo
MUS and Other Monuments of Early
Christianity" The account of Cal
listratus was probably written in the
first half of the fourth century. 1t in
cludes several long addresses of CALI

his comrades became martyrs. Per-
