HAVE PET KNIVES.
Cooks and Caterers BECOME Foolish
About Their Use.

About Their Use.
Ibid you know that cooks and
caterers become awfully foolish about
the knives they user" asked the head
man in a downtown restaurant, the
New Orleans Democrat says well,
they do just the same, and they come
to the conclusion that there is but
one knife that can do the work they
are in the habit of doing, and that
is the particular knife they have been
in the habit of using. Cooks seems to
have an affection for the things they
use, anyhow. They are more particular
about the knife that they are accus-
toned to use than they are about any
other article in their. outfit. Let any
thing happen to the knife, and you
will always find them out of sorts.
have known many cooks, who worked
for many years at one place to take
their favorite knife with them when
they quit the establishment they had
worked for such a long time. sup
pose thers In a good reason why cooks
should become attached to their knives.
BARRIERS become utterly foolish about
certain razors. You have no doubt OBJ
served this fact In connection with the
tonsors. Musicians, too, become very
much in love with the musical instru-
ments, the violin, the cornet, or what
ever instrument they happen to use
most. have known a few men who
became almost as foolish about their
walking canes as about members OF
their family. 1t seems to be a natur-
al sort of thing. There is no reason
why the cook should not become
strongly attached to the knife that has
been Of such good service to him, and
Wh0GQ nd he haa
thoroughly familiar with. But what
ever the reason may be, cooks become
utterly foolish about the knives they
use, and they would be as willing to
part with dear friend or a member
OF their own family as to give up the
knife they have been in the habit OF
using for so long a time"

OF darkness, and an hour later was
placed under arrest, charged with
murder committed twenty-seven years

away from Indiana. An old resident
of the place recognized him as the
missing murderer and notified Marshall
Dunbar.
Myers submitted to arrest without
protest and is now in jail at Craw-

lumber buyer in Darlington, and I'm his

Transcript.
"a strange, strange place-monoto-
nous" unused a little 5-year-old Amer
lean girl as her mother led the way
into a room at the Peak Hotel The
child had overheard the word "monot-
onous' a short time before, and at
tracted by it's resonant character, If
only half familiar with its meaning,
had applied 1t to Hong Kong, as the
great banks of fog surrounded the no.
tel so completely that her mother, on
entering the room, had supposed the
windows to be of ground glass. But
the description as a whole is not bad:
certainly Hong Kong is strange
place, and monotony is the one thing
of which all its white European ele-
ment most necessarily complains.
The natural beauty of Hong Kong
can hardly be exaggerated, whether
the city be seen from the harbor or
from the Peak which looks down upon
the town and a majestic piece of wa
terway where the shipping of all ma
tions is gathered. The city proper oc-
cupies a narrow fringe along the wa
ter front, wide enough for about three
long parallel streets, although much
of even this space has been reclaim

and the next line of streets inland
there is so considerable an ascent that
many of the cross streets are simply
flights of broad stone steps.
No Horses.
There are no horses in Hong Kong
and they have no frosts, two facts
which simplify greatly the road-build-
ing problem. Its streets resemble the
walks on a worlds fair ground; they
are smooth and reasonably hard, and
were laid out by the British, in found
ing the city, at reasonable width.
Kipling says that he saw one horse
in Hong Kong. I am Informed that
there is one stable, but, in three

four coolies, according to the length
and difficulties of the trip. One ply

three for the ricksha. He uses the
latter on the low level, but in reach
ing residences on the side of the noun

stairs. he is compelled to have chair.
This mans business has been so good
that he has nearly killed his coolies
with overwork, so his neighbors say
as complacently as they would speak
