peoples sake burned in the breasts OF
some Of history's notable characters,
so was the zeal Of this man for his
native land, but his loyalty was for
his sovereign instead Of for his fellow
men. sympathy for the latter there
was, to be sure, but next to his God
in this extra ordinary mans heart was
his Emperor and for his sake he per-
formed those deeds which gave him
fame 1t was during the historical
wars between France and Austria that
Hofer gained fame.
He was born in the Passover Valley
in 1865. His family kept the Inn OF
Sandyland, near the Passer stream;
hence his frequently being called in
history the Sandy Landlord. He was
living at this inn, following the calling
Of his fathers, when, by the treaty Of
from Austria and coded to Bavaria, the
ally Of Napoleon. At this terrible news
Andreas made vow never again to
shave his beard. During the wars his
long beard, falling on his breast, gave
him with the Italians the name Of
General Baritone. He had an athletic,
well-knit frame; broad shoulders; a
round. highly colored countenance;
black eyes, large, brilliant and pene-
trating; a majestic beard; the whole
breathing command, inspiring respect
and attracting confidence.
Indignant at the double dealings of
the Bavarian officials, Andreas had
but one thought: to liberate his coun
try from the foreign yoke, and restore
it to his Emperor With this end in
view he commenced correspondence
with Archdukc John. On the 10th of
January, 1909, he went to Vienna with
other fellow countrymen, and had sew

damp and miasmic conditions Of the
soil during the rainy season.
For the flooring they lay whole bam-
boos, about four inches in diameter,
close together. Across these are laid
split bamboos about an inch wide,
which are tied down with filaments Of
rattan, and over the top are spread
mats of various kinds. This sort of
flooring has an elasticity alarming to
strangers when they first tread on 1t.
The sides of the houses are covered in
the same manner as the floors, or else
with layers of bark. In procuring this
bark the tree is first stripped Of it's
coarse outer covering, after which the
section Of inner bark to be removed is
pounded with clubs to loosen it. Amy
boy who has ever made willow whis-
tie knows how easily the bark may be
removed after having done this. The
roof on one Of these bamboo huts is
neatly matched with palm leaves, aft
er which the family climb the notched
pole, which does duty as front steps,
and take possession But in their land
Of quaking uncertainty they never
know how soon they may have it all
to do over again.

WHERE BRICKS ARE USELESS.
Country Where Only Flimsy Build
ings Are Desirable.


Accustomed to seeing about us solid
ity of structure in all things, we of the
temperate zones would hardly consider
a house in Sumatra worth moving into.
They are light, flimsy-looking affairs,
which one would expect to have tum-
bling about his ears much too frequent
ly, and, in fact, such would be the
case, although not from lack Of
solidity. The entire Indian archipel-
ago, of which Sumatra is one of the
largest islands, is subject to severe and
frequent earthquakes; and hence these
flimsy structures, which may tumble
about the heads Of their occupants
without causing the loss Of life that
a falling brick or stone building would.
The natives have no idea of archi-
lecture as a science, though much in
genuity is often shown in making up
their materials. The general appear
ance Of their houses is accurately rep
resented in the illustration, which
shows a common type. The floor tim
bers are fastened to the main posts

ably to escape the i'll effects of the

the Lord. On leaving the church the
notables of the town waited on him,
to express the gratitude Of all the citi-
zens. Hofer replied: "By my beard
and by st. George, the Savior Of our
country was God himself!' Soon after,
however, the peace of Vienna forced
Austria once more to renounce the Ty
rol. The Archduke John himself wrote
to Hofer and ordered him to lay down
his arms. In vain Hofer tried for a
third and last time to raise an army
and drive the hated Bavarians from
his beloved fatherland. A price was
put on his head, and a wretch named
Raft betrayed his retreat, In which he
had been living some months with his
family He took leave Of his COM
panions in arms and wound up with
these words:
Farewell, most despicable world!
for brave man death is of such small
account that in leaving you have not
one fear or regret!'
1t was by order Of Napoleon that he
was shot at Mantua Feb. 20, 1910. The
house in which he dwelt, where he
entertained travellers and where relics
Of him are still preserved is annually
visited by hundreds Of tourists.

Modern manners, ike LnOSe or all
other ages, consist mostly of meaning
less conventionalities, acquired no one
knows how and for purposes that no
one knows or seems to care about.
Much that we regard as essential Is
merely a matter Of habit that might
just as well become habitual in the
opposite direction There are lots Of
people-good, worthy people, too-who
look upon man who declines to sit
down at dinner table without his coat
ON as shallow dude. Plenty Of peo-
pie see no improperly in shoveling
food into the mouth with a knife.
Nor can there be any improperly in
it among people who SO regard it. 1t
is only among those who are not ac
customed to it that sitting in ones
shirt sleeves and eating with ones
knife can be called Ill hammered. 1t

would seem that nothing would be
more universally established as correct
custom than that man should take off
his hat at meals, particularly In
private house and in the presence of
women. Yet this, too, Is only habit.
This, like all the rest of the conven
tionalitieS which we call manners, is
only a custom Of the time. The first
gentlemen Of England, two centuries
ago, habitually wore their hats at
meals. Then it was ill-mannered to
sit at table with head uncovered.
Nor Is it known when or how or why
the custom changed. Lord Clarendon,
on the decay of respect paid to old
age, on which he says that in his
younger days he never kept his hat on
before those older than himself, ex
cept at dinner. That the English mem
bers of parliament still sit with their
hats on during the sessions Is we'll
known, and it is equally we'll known
that the same practice prevailed at the
early town meetings in New England.
But the uninitiated visitor in the gal

rected by the sergeant-at-arms The
presence or absence of the hat is
therefore simply a conventionaliy, and
so it is with thousand and one prac-
tees which are held, SO long as they
exist, to be the most absolutely correct,
matter-of-course and Interchangeable af-
fairs. The next generation will have
many hearty laughs at our customs,
as we have at those of the "old fogies"
who have gone before.

relic consists of a little building in
Fayetteville, VT, which was used by
General Martin Field, grandfather of
the poet and humorlst, as law Office
nearly a century ago. The house was
originally built at Newfane, VT. but
about twenty-five years ago it was re-
moved to Fayetteville, where 1t has
since stood in the yard of the old
Field homestead in that place. The
building itself is a one-story structure,
made Of hardwood timbers, hewn on
Newfane Hill, and the supposed date
Of it's construction is 1900. 1t has a
pretty colonial front, with three col
umns, and there are two rooms. The
proposal which Mrs. Field is now con-
sidering is to have the little house
taken apart, the logs transported to
Chicago, and then have them put to-
gether again in their original form on
the lawn of Eugene Fields old home.

1t may understand what the modern
Inventor can do.

1t was at a certain Michigan resort.
A herd of degenerate youngsters-this
breed of cattle always travels in herds
made a custom Of rounding up at a
certain corner of the town. These
young loafers-you know the type
made a pastime Of smoking cigarettes
and aiming ribald jests at lady pedes-
TRANS who were compelled to pass that
way. One evening these fellows made
a mistake One of them fired an in
suit at the wrong woman. She was
athletic. You could tell that by the
way her shoulders were set. She
walked with the air Of one who knows
her exercises. It was this woman Of
the gymnasium who became the tar
get Of the indecent observation.
Whereat-. There was something do
ing. She grasped the particular downy
youth Of the foul tongue by the throat.
She shook him as your rat terrier
would shake rodent. And then she
gave him such a beating as his father
was never able, in his palmiest prime,
to administer. The program was not
long but it was lively right from the
opening number. The sequel? The
herd gathers occasionally. 1t ventures
cigarettes. There are no more scin-
tillations of coarseness. If need were,
any woman could stampede the entire
common herd by saying "scat! Good
for the athletic woman! May her tribe
increase.

ShinS Like Feet.

Of the navy of one Of the oldest Of
old countries, China, very little Is
known. That China was once much
interested in sea affairs is, however,
certain 1t is said that long before
any other peoples the Chinese knew
something of the wonders Of the
lodestbne, and even If the mariners
compass was not invented by them,
their knowledge Of the magnet was
certainly sufficient to aid them in nav
igating their ships, and helped to ex-
tend their trading, and probably their
battles, into strange waters. So the
Chinese were bold voyagers ages ago.
On their cruisers bows was painted
an eye to denote watchfulness; and
red, sacred color to them, was dis
played in strips of cloth which decor
ated the various parts Of the ship.
Chinese enterprise on the sea un
fortunately received a death blow
from one Of their own weak land self
loving monarchs, who forbade his SUBJ
jects to cruise in waters outside of the
China Sea, for fear they should learn
in their travels any ideas which might
lead them to rebel against his tyrannf-
cal government. He also ordered, vaiR
and unwise man that he was, that all
vessels should be made In the shape
Of the imperial foot! Alas, poor ships!
this strange ship destroyed all sea-
worthy qualities, and any ambition in
the direction Of q Chinese navy was
for the time extinguished.-St Mich

NEW IN SPOONS.

Several Kinds for Special Purposes
Displayed in the Shops.
Despite the many styles of individ-
ual spoons now in use, inventors are
continually on the alert to supply some
particular need or convenience.
A novel housewives assistant is the
measuring spoon, like the ordinary
teaspoon in size, but marked in the bot
tom of the bowl with lines and figures
to guide her in proportioning ingredi-,
ents for cooking mixtures. The warm
ing labels, one-half, one-quarter, one
eighth spoonful, are affixed just as on
measuring glass. The spoon is Of
sterling use in the making of gravies,
of buildings, cakes, salads or any,
dishes OF nature requiring exactness
in the seasoning.
The measuring spoon Is to be had
in grades to suit all purses. This is
baby's spoon, which Is very practical
improvement on the original.
The bowl of the baby's spoon is
shaped as usual. but the handle Is
curved backward and welded to the
end of the bowl, forming a loop like
the loop in the handle of ring. The
looped handle is just big enough for
five small fingers to grasp, and little
fellow making first attempts to feed
himself can get along much better
with spoon of this sort than one
Of ordinary pattern.
Then there is new model mus
tache spoon, special ice-cream spoon
and an egg spoon for lifting poached
or fried eggs from the dish. They fill
a manifest need, showing the POSSIBLE
tiles for additions TO the spoon fam

iety of styles and shapes already in
use.
