The ABYSSINIAN FORGIVES.
Poor People Who, Though Ignorant,
: = Have Kept the Pith of Chris
tian Morals. -.' .

NJ. Hughes LIE Roux, now lecturing
in America, contributes to Century
paper on New Trails lin Abyssinia,"
from which we take this odd passage:
z It would be unfair not to mention in
passing that these poor people, how
ever ignorant they may be of the laws
of the religion they profess, have at
least kept the pith of Christian morals,
the good which distinguishes them
from Islamic teachings-the doctrine
of forgiveness.
You cannot dismiss servant, or,
with regard to a culprit, take stand
which everyone believes just, without
] being visited by the friends and enc
mics of the delinquent. IL
They all come and entreat you: ''You
are Christian? Forgive him." And
the humble do not ask merely that par
don shall be granted by their masters;
they endeavor to practice it among
themselves. e."
During the explorations that made
in the west, a rather embarrassing
boy who was in my private service tried
to kill my head servant. The victim
demanded. as was his right, that the
law of retaliation be applied; but the
rest of the servants united in an appeal
to the irate man. and the next day he
came to me and said:
II have forgiven the murderer; give
him his freedom" -. 49,

ANCIENT CHOIRISTERS.
: fornia the Members of Which
rs Are Over 65.

One of the most remarkable clubs
of modern times has its headquarters
in Alameda, Cal. It is known as the
"Old Mems Singing club" no one be-
ing admitted to it who has not the
gift of song and who has not passed
at least his sixty-ffth birthday. The
club has 1O1 members, with an aggre-
gate age of 1855 years. The only wom-
an artist was the Sonora Benina Ba-
rome. aged 1903 years,iwho danced and
sang .''La Tolla." This old Spanish
woman was born in Mexico in 1898. She
danced in the Spanish City of Mexico
while in the first blush of maidenhood,
and the picturesque cavaliers of those
times pelted her with roses. To the
tinkling accompaniment of a guitar
they sang love songs underneath her
window. These, she says, were merry
days. The weary feet. which at their
owners request danced once more in
order that a few extra dollars might
be added to the fund for the poor,
were as light as in the bygone days,
and if the aged voice quavered, no one
noticed it. s...S 81 r,

MATINEE LUNCHEON BASKETS
New: Idea That Threatens to Do Away
with the Candy-EatinE Habit
in Theaters.

The matinee girl and the matinee
woman are not supposed to be, COM
pletely equipped unless they carry
into the theater box of candy.
But all that's likely to be changed
now, says a Chicago exchange.
Instead of chocolate creams and
caramels the matinee girl who knows
what is right is carrying nowadays
matinee lunch basket. The bas-
kets, to be in accord with the pre-
scribed style, ought to be pretty lit
tie affairs. - ~+s, W.
Some of them are made of delicate
sweet grass; others of fine roots or
birch bark or closely woven Irvine.
Inside they are lined with waxed pa
per. g.
The contents may be almost any
thing that suits the matinee girls
tooth and taste-little finger sand
wiches, waters, sweet cakes, stuffed
prunes, sailed nuts, and so on. In
stead of a finger bowl ; the basket
contains a moist little sponge. Jap
aneses paper napkins complete the
outfit. = ~ a.g~z. T.. tr
. For the drinkables the matinee girl
will have to depend on the theater's
water carriers, until some ingenious
person invents a theater canteen
that isn't in the way. 49,"

WHEN ABROAD SPEAK ENGLISH
He Who Attempts a Foreign Tongue
May Get Into Prelicament OIL
N e Like This. 81 rs

The English-speaking tourist who
wastes half an hour of time, temper
and energy in trying to make some
sdWeller in a foreign land understand
his bad French or Spanish, only to
be shocked at length by some such
question as: Can't you speak Eng
#lish ?'' is almost as common now
5adays as the track-wal king TRACE
dian. This is a little story Of his
experience in Spain, as told by The
Dominic" in Ladies Home Journal:s
One day we all entered "a little
shop in Madrid and The Captain be-
gan to speak in Spanish to the girl
who was behind the count She
failed to understand and SO he tried
again Once and again he tried and
tried, and summoned up his whole
vocabulary. At last in his attempt
to. make his meaning plain by Illus
.tration he drew from his pocket case
a card, and with it stroked his chin.
The girl fell into fits Of laughter and
in perfect English said: oh! what
you want is a fne-tooth comb. J 3, .

FOR AN IDEAL SHAVE.
Ideal Regulations for BARRIERS May
Be Adopted in the City of
Washington.%

Washington will be an ideal town
in which to get shaved if propo-
sition submitted to the knights of
the razor is adopted, says a report
from that city. The regulations pro-
vide that BARRIERS shall not annoy
their customers by excessive con-
versation, that mugs and shaving
brushes shall be sterilizeds by i'm
mersion in boiling water or five
per cent. solution of carbolic acid;
that razors shall be wiped with 95
per cent. alcohol after being used;
that floors and woodwork must be
mopped with an antiseptic solution;
that sanitary hair brushes must be
used and regularly sterilized; that
combs must be kept clean and never
wiped off with the hand or blown
upon with the breath; that a sep
arate clean towel shall be used for
each customer, and that clean. tow
els or absorbent cotton shall be
used in place of powder puffs. Bar
bers are also ordered to keep their
teeth clean and their finger nails
short and clean, and are directed to
keep their mouths closed when lean
ing over a customer who is being
shaved. - - ssl4l s m. sz54 sstts2s.

THE ENGLISH WOMAN'S FOOT.
Takes Shoe of Generous Proper
lions Because of Her Sensible
Preference for Comfort.

A sprightly controversy has been 60
ing on for some time in the English
newspapers relative to the somewhat
intimate subject of the young English
woman's foot, or, rather, her shoe,
says shoe journal. The modern Eng
lish girl is tall-tall in sense and to
a degree that the Gibson cartoon of
the stately American girl do not even
adumbrate. In the aristocratic set
more often than not, she towers over
the heads of foreign gentlemen. Long
generations of descent from tall IA
theirs and mothers and vigorous years
of outdoor exercise have made her
what she is-very occasionally six
footer, and with hands and feet in due
proportion. - ~
The note of alarm has at last been
sounded. It is held that 1.-The daugh-
tiers of Anak" are exercising too free
ly, if they would wear the dainty shoes
that are women's traditional adorn-
ment. While the answer is made that
the apparent size of the English girls
foot is due to her sensible prefer
ence for loose, easy shoes, it is adj
mittedly an incomplete explanation.
One reason for the growing popular
ity of the American shoe in London, is
that it looks heater and trimmer and
decidedly smaller than the English
shoe of the same size.

BAGGAGE RIGHTS OF CORPSE.


"a dead man has the same baggage
rights asa living one. This qnest has
been passed on by the chief baggage
master Of the Union depot, and it was
done in q hurry too, reports the Den-
yer Post. There were five live per-
sons and one dead man waiting for
the decision. The coffin was placed in
the baggage car and then the trunks
OF the five friends were weighed.
The weight exceede led the $50 pounds
for each, but if the dead man Wereal-
lowed baggage, this would solve the
difficulty. The clerk had never heard
of such a thing before. He refused to
check trunk on the. dead mans
ticket.
. The train was almost ready to start
5 The five persons did not care to pay
for the excess baggage, neither did
they the like to allow the body to go
alone. The whistle Of the train loot
ed its first warning. v 81: s.
q Just then the chief baggage master
arrived. He took in the situation at
a glance.
Check the trunks he exclaimed,
and the five hurried off in time to
catch their train. E
Then he explained to the clerk that
+ the General Traffic Managers associa-
ton had passed on the question only a
few days before. This organization de-
Ecided that when a full fare ticket is
paid for, for the transportation of a
corpse, the ticket carries with it the
regular baggage privilege of mot to
exceed 15o pounds Z !,

AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHERS.
the Victims of Their Diaboli-
cal Practice. Il.

IL the average amateur photog
rapher would not attempt to make.
portraits! is bad enough to be
misrepresented in an out-of-doors
group, but when the snapshot man
turns his attention to- heads, and
poses them near the camera it is
too much, remarks the New York
Times.
One of these mental torturers did
this the other day. He cajoled a
much-photographed neighbor to al
low him to practice upon her for the
full face. His must have been an
excellent lens, for nothing escaped
it. 1t seemed to have x-ray quail
ties. It brought defects out of that
poor woman's face Of which she had
never dreamed. There were big
freckles which she had not seen
since she was a child, wrinkles which
made her 20 years older than she
really was, savage lines about her
mouth, and her hair was turned into
broomcorn. H
There, think that is a pretty
good portrait said the amateur, as
he turned over the result of his eff
forts to the victim. s'That is a good
likeness"
It was a likeness, too. There was
the same strong: resemblance which
the caricaturist puts into A. his
sketches and also the same hideous
unlikeness, with not even the humor-
Gus excuse for it. It was all blank
ugliness. - -
No one will know the blow it was
to the woman to receive that awful
thing as her picture. Her friends
only half guessed it when she tim
idly asked if they thought it looked
very much like her. She had really
believed the statement, sometimes
wrongfully made, that the camera
cannot lie. The camera is an upcon-
scionable hypocrite.
