eatY' asked restaurant man the other
day. "See those four women who have
just come in? I'll wager that can
tell you what they will order before
they are seated 1t will be either sal
nd, cream puffs or chocolate cellars"
The women seated themselves, toyed
with the bill of fire and, sure enough,
ordered chocolate eclairs and coffee.
"If 1t were not for the men, we would
never sell piece of pie or meat" the
restaurant man continued. For some
reason women rebel Mt the thought of
beefstcak and such things. They want
something dainty. Even the feminine
acrobats of the stage close their eyes
in horror Mt the thought of roast beef"

Manners Maketh the Man.

That we are a rushing, busy people
IS no excuse for lack of manners"
1t is just as easy to be polite as impo-
lite and takes no more time.
Bad national manners are the result
OF bad training. or entire lack of 1t. at
home. II the wife and mother would
be very careful about her own deport-
ment. children would learn by example
the only true way to learn. Good
manners are the result OF the refining
influences of home life and cannot be
acquired without practice In this way.
Culture cannot be simulated or put on
for occasions.

between a well bred and i'll bred man

THE EARS.

Large ears, dropping at the top, be-
long to persons more animal than hui
man.
In human beings Of low or debased
mental standard the ears are large and
6abby. Note those of idiots, cretins,
etc.
Ears In which the "hem" Is fiat, as If
smoothed down with a fatiron, accom-
pany a vacillating mind and cold, unro-
mantle disposition.
When there is no lobe and the ear
widens from the bottom upward, the
owner Is OF selfish, cunning and re-
vengeful disposition.
Large round ears with neat Them"
around their border, well carved, not
fiat, indicate strong will and a bull
dog tenacity OF purpose.
When the ear Is oval In form, with
the lobe slightly but distinctly marked,
1t indicates for Its owner lofty ideal

tive nature.

STEADY ATMOSPHERE.
Prime Requisite For the study oi
Planet Surfaces.


Astronomical science Is divided nat
urally into two parts, that pertaining
TO the stellar universe and that pertain
ing 10 our own immediate family Of
planets. The latter are the only bodies
in the heavens of which we are aware
that mt all resemble our earth, and they
are all, comparatively speaking, our
near neighbors and have, therefore, a
much mere personal and popular inter
est than the stellar universe at large.
The study of their relative motions
was virtually completed during the last
century, so that at the present time the
astronomy of the planets is confined
chiefly 10 II study of their dimensions
and surface conditions.
For this study there is one para
mount requisite, and that is steady
atmosphere. With good atmosphere
important results may be obtained
even with small telescope of only
five or SIX inches diameter; but with
out such an atmosphere the very lar
gest telescope will be of no avail. This
is not the case iii other departments of
tons on the stellar universe the quail
ity of the atmosphere is of little ac-
count, provided only that 1t Is cloud
less and transparent; but for the plane
tary and lunar astronomy steady at
mosphere Is the fundamental requisite.
To understand what Is meant by Il
steady atmosphere we have only to
or along the line of railroad track
upon summer day. There is a SHIN
mer In the air, wayering motion, with
which we are all more or less familiar
This wayering Is always present In our
atmosphere, although we usually cam
not see it; but when we magnify the
image of planet in n telescope 1000
times we magnify the atmospheric
tremors in the same proportion, and
they are then not only conspicuous,
but they interfere very seriously with
our observations.
In some parts of the world the at
mosphere is much more steady than in
others, and it Is evidently matter Of
the highest Importance for the astron-
omer interested in planetary research
to find where these places are situated.
TO illustrate the Importance of this
matter | may say that situated in one
of these favored spots l saw night aft
er night with five inch and even with
four inch lens planetary markings
and details that have never seen even
with the largest telescope in Cam
bridge.-W. IL. Pickering in Century.

ing TO Popular Mechanics, all kinds OF
bells for the farm and ranch are made
In one factory, which stands on n hill
side street in little town in Connect
cut
The metal for the bells is received at
the factory in large, fiat sheets of thin
iron direct from the rolling mill and is
passed under steam driven cutter,
which turns out the properly shaped
pieces like patterns for double bladed
aX. Then ring for clapper is fas-
tened int the center of each piece,
and 1t Is SPAWNED with little iron
strap for handle. Finally the piece
is bent down into the familiar bell
shape and its sides riveted together on
the anvil.
The bell is now in shape, but 1t still
lacks tone and color. These are gained
by Il coating of brass and bath In q

immersed in the fire. Within the cru
cibles the brass spreads itself In thin
coating over the imprisoned bells, and

needs be done nfterward is to FURNISH
the bells, which is done by throwing
them with few leather scraps into a

The disappearance OF Benjamin Bath
urst, a kinsman of Lord Bathurst, has
never been explained. Bathurst was
sent on secret mission to Vienna ut
the time that England, before opening
the peninsula campaign, sought to per
suade Austria to declare by way of dis
traction war against France. Austria
soon after crossed the French frontier,
and Bathurst received hints of threat
ened personal doom. Hoping to avoid
examination, he took n northerly route
In returning to England, and on reach
ing Perleberg. In Brandenburg, he Wis
tied IN his agitation the commandant
OF cuirassiers, requesting that sentries
might mount guard at the inn where
he stopped. These were supplied, and
Bathurst spent the day in writing and
destroying letters.
Shortly before his carriage came TO
the door In the dusk of November
evening he told some troopers who es-
c0rted him that they might withdraw.
While all the household was on the
alert to see him OFF he walked beyond
the circle of the lantern glare and was
lost to sight at the head of the horses
This occurred on Nov 20, 1900, and
BatnurSr was never seen or nearu VI

The danger-a remote one-of the oys-
ter containing living typhoid fever
germs may be obviated by the use of
lemon juice. The oyster is rendered
tough and indlgestible by boiling.
