A HOTEL HooDoo.
Peculiar Superstition Concerning the
Closing of the Guests
Register.

Most hotel clerks dislike to see the
register closed. Some of them would
say that their desire to have it re-
main open is in order that it may be
ready for the signature of guests.
But there are other clerks who
don't mind telling the real reason,
says the Kansas City Journal. 1t is
because they have feeling that it
is unlucky to close the register. 1t
is sort of superstition, just as 9th.
er people have against doing things
on Friday or beginning journey on
the 3oth day of the month. Hotels
are not more given to superstition
than are people, although there is no
room 10 in most OF them.
While the superstition is not gen.
orally well known among people who
travel, it does not often happen that
a clerk is compelled to rush to the
desk in order to prevent a guest
from closing the book. That is what
happened at one of the big hotels
the other day, and it was because tho
absent-minded man would have
closed the book that the clerk told
of the feeling most hotel clerks have
about the bad luck that will follow
the closing of the register. 1t is a
good deal like the mental attitude of
the small boy who crosses his fingers
when cross-eyed person looks at
him.
'Of course" said the clerk, 81 do
not think it makes any difference.
In fact. / am sure it don't-but I
never allow the book to be closed
during my watch if I can beat the
other fellow to it. Hotel registers
are to be written in, anyway, and
man can't write in them if they are
closed"

WHAT MAKES A GENTLEMAN.
Education Can Impart to
Any Man.

Archbishop Temple, the recently de-

Church of England and man of the
highest character, gave a short time
before his death the following out
line of what he considered really gen
tlemanly conduct:
"Ihe man who is thoroughly unset
fish in all small things, he is the man
in regard of whom it is quite impos-
siblc for you not to feel, that man is
a gentleman. Let his rank in society
be what it may, let him be ignorant
of the ordinary conventionalities of
social intercourse, still, if the man
is truly self-sacrifcing, if in his or
binary relations with his fellows
there is true and genuine unselfish-
ness, it is impossible for any man
who has much to do with him not to
feel That man is gentleman I
don't care whether he is learned or
not, whether he is educated or not;

AMONG THE TURKS.
An Englishwomnn's Impressions Of

An Englishwoman travelling in Mon

TO the London Queen:
''In our party were several Turkish
women, whose dainty, gold-slippered
feet and delicate crepe garments

from their places and started out
across the malaria breathing wastes.

AN OCEAN PATROL.
Project of an English Ship Builder
to Provide Unique Sen

One English ship builder is fur

Blue Cross Ocean Life and Salvage
service. 1t is meant to take the place

the New York Herald
1t will consist of fleet of ten life
boats and one storeboat to patrol
the north Atlantic along the line of
travel of the great ocean steamers.
The aim is that of saving vessels
and crews in distress. They will
have a regular schedule of time,
which will be sent to all captains of
vessels, so that in case of wreck OF

The Carnation Industry.

The carnation industry has risen
to considerable Importance during
the last ten years. AS 100000 of
young carnation plants are sold each
year and florists produce an equal
number which are not sold, the entire
production of young carnation plants
approximates 100000 per annum.
These plants are grown under glass
during the winter time for cut flow

average of more than 100000 blooms.

POINTS ABOUT MAGNETS.
What Magnetism Really Ia, Says This
Authority, No One
Knows.

Magnets are frequently made in tho
form of a horseshoe or letter U, but
horseshoe magnet is really nothing
more than bar magnet bent. AS
both poles will attract iron, it is APP
parently twice as strong rs when in
the bar form, writes Laurence b.
Fletcher, in st. Nicholas. A piece of
iron laid across the peles is attracted
by both of them. In this case the poles
act on opposite ends of the iron and do
not destroy each others effects, for
each pole magnatizes the portion OF
the iron opposite it. The iron, there
fore, becomes strong magnet. with
its north pole touching the south pole
of the horseshoe magnet, and its south
pole touching the north pole. This is
popularity called "keeper," because
it keeps" or preserves, the strength
of the magnet, which becomes much
weaker when the keeper is left off.
Iron, steel (Which is modified iron),
the metals nickel and cobalt, and some
substances which contain large nor.
ton of iron, are the on|y bodies thai
can be strongly maenet;zed, though
many others can be magne1ized very
feebly and temporarily.
What magnetism really is, no one
knows. 1t seems 10 I've natural prop.
erty of the particles of iron, and what
we call magnetizing is only, as have
said, the act of turning the magnetic
particles so that they act together.
This is frequently brought about by
causes beyond our control, and almost
all pieces of iron, If carefully tested,
are found 10 be weakmagnets.

Madison, S. D., May Ii D. Smith
Madison's millionaire citizen, has prob
ably made as unique a gift to one Of
his tenants as a landlord ever made.
He has presented John Braese, who
lives on one of Mr. Smiths farms with
the farm and all the crops and imple-
ments on 1t.
Mr.. Smith is the owner of 100 quar-
tiers Of rich South Dakota land, and al
though he has never taken the trouble
himself to figure out his wealth, it has
been estimated by other parties that
he is worth $1,600,000, and is the second
richest man in the state. Mr.. Smith
rents most of his farms, and among all
his tenants John Braese was noted for
his industry and honesty. Mr.. Smith
regarded him as thoroughly deserving,
and decided the farm to him without
any conditions.
Mr.. Smith is q quiet and unassum-
ing man, and one of the most respected
citizens of Madison. II is probable that
he had no other motive than a desire
to reward deserving man in making a
gift, but it is expected all his other ten
ants will be suddenly getting busy in
hopes that he may see fit to reward
them.
