INTERNATIONAL CULINARY
EXPOSITION IN ST. PETERSBURG
American Cereal interests TO Have to
Push Their Trade.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 2s.-Although
the former corn Kitchens do not seem to
have succeeded in familiarizing European
nations with the delights of Southern corn
bread and mullins, it may not be without
interest TO announce that an internation-
al culinary exposition is to be held in
this city. Perhaps, since Emperor Will
liam of Germany has been converted to
the use of American breakfast food the
American cereal interests may deem the
Opportunity worth Selling.

Not 70 Be BaIked.

A comparison made by an old car
penter twenty years ago may be ap-
piled in a much wider sense than he
had In mind. He was speaking of two
boys, brothers, who had been sent to
him to learn the trade. They were
bright boys, and their father, in telling
the carpenter of his pleasure at their
progress in their work, said he could
not see but one hand had done Just as
well as the other.
"Um-mv' said the carpenter. II pre-
sumo to say their work looks about of
piece, but I'll tell you the difference
betwixt those two boys. You give Ed
lust the right tools, and he'll do a real
good job; but Cy, If he hasn't got what
he needs. he'll make his own tools, and
say nothing about 1t.
IF | was casted on a desert island
and wanted a box opened. should
know there'd be no use asking Ed to dc
It, without 4 could point him out q
hammer.
"But CyW added the old carpenter
with a snap of his fingers. "The lack
of hammer wouldn't stump that boy.
He'd have something rigged up and
that box opened, If there was any open
to 1t! l expect Cy's going to march
ahead of Ed all his life"
Twenty years have proved the truth
of the words, for while the boy who
"made his own tools" Is rich. bis broth,
er Is still an ordinary workman.

"a KATING, say the men who deal In
~ skates and skating shpes. tlppets
- and other things which skaters re-
quire, has takeDA decided upward turn
in the last few years. Skates We're never
before so cheap. Fifteen years ago the
boy who had a pair Of Club skates,
which fastened with the magic clamp and
had none of the heartbreaks OF heel
plates and toe straps, was looked upon
with Yeneration and awe by his comrades.
The skates came high and most OF the
boys had to content themselves with look
ing at them through the windows Of the
stores. Now the strap skate is long since
banished and the full club skate can
be bought for "a cents a pair. or course
the dealers do NIT recommend the quarter
skates to be full tempered steel. but they
have the patent attachments for heel and
toe and that satisfies the average small
boy.
This year the sporting goods houses are
showing a more complete line Of so-called
racing skates than ever before, says the
Chicago Chronicle. Year after year those
who go in for the sport have observed
that the fast fellows, the racers who
break records, wore long, thin-bladed
skates, some running as high as eighteen
or twenty inches in length. These were
gradually taken up by skaters who had
no desire to go out after records, but
who wanted to be in the swim, and now
they are quite the thing.
But in feminine eyes, as usual, the
question Of the skates themselves is Of
secondary importance to the unending one
Of costume. What to wear on the ice is
what bothers most of the girls who go
in for skating. Many Of the modistes are
showing pretty skating costumes which
will be worn at the rinks of the skating
clubs, where society goes gliding. How

Marriage Among Australian savages

Marriage Among Australian Savages
chronological experts agree that with
most Australian tribes every woman
is betrOthed In infancy, or even In an
ticipation of her birth. According to
some mysterious law of their own
this is arranged by the old men of
the family, the women having no
voice in the matter. The age of the
proposed husband is not taken into
consideration, SO that 1t frequently
happens by the time the girl Is of
a marrlageable age her intended Is an
old man. II In the meantime some
younger man has set his heart upon
her this means fight, in which the
unfortunate bride-to-be, as she Is
dragged away, is certain to come in
for a share Of the blows which the
rival sultors deal out to each other.
In some of the coast districts, where
not all the girls are promised In In
fancy, the betrothal of young wom-
an to q man who follows the occupa-
ton of a fisherman compels her to
lose the first joint of the little finger
of her left hand. This slow and pain
full operation is performed by stout
string bound tightly around the joint
an engagement ring with which one
would willingly dispense! A mar
riage license, equally unique, is COM
mon in some sections, where the chief
gives to the prospective groom a pc
cullarly knotted string, possessing
which he is free to seek the wife Of his
choice. Womans Home Companion.

ever, special costume, of course, Is not
essential to run on the Ice.
Society has taken up skating with a
vim OF late years and a number OF sEat-
ing clubs have been formed which con-
duct private rinks where the swell cos
tunes Of the ladies will be seen, The
indoor skating is popular with those VINO
fear to face the north wind, but the trde
skater wants outdoor skating with frost
in the air and snow on the ground and
chance to get pneumonia going home.
Winter sports OF various kinds have
been looking up In Chicago Of late years
and the men who sell sporting goods say
that hockey is obtatning a foothold. Thls
healthful exercise, which is practically
shiny played on the Ice, requires hockey
sticks which look dixie golf sticks, d
puck" or object bail made Of rubber and
usually hockey skates. which are screw
ei to the shoes. The game requires such
fast skating, rapid turns and sudden
stops that ordinary clamps do not prove
satisfactory aud those who follow the
game with much interest provide them
selves with specially strong shoes, 70
which the skates are attached perma-
nently.
The toboggan never obtained much
standing in Chicago owing to the neees'
sity for building artificial hills down
which to shoot the flying sledges. The
natural formation of the ground in and
around the city is against the success OF
tobogganing and the public slides, at
which an admission fee is charged, never
attracted society people, although they
were literally patronized by those who
went out more for fun than to display
swell toboggan costumes. However, the
dealers say the sport is not dead in Chi
cago by any means.
