The handkerchief.

The Greeks and Romans had no
pocket handRerchiefs, but merely a
cloth called 'sudorum" TO wipe per-
SEPARATION from the face, which was usu-
ally carried in a fold of the tunic OF
loosely tied about the neck. The Athe-
MAN and Roman swels-the men about
town-inaugurated the fashion OF car
rying one such "sudorium" in the hand
and another in the girdle, but these
were never used as we use pocket hand
kerchiefs. The ancients had a pro-
found respect for absolutely clean
noses, but only children and old per-
sons were allowed to blow their noses
in public.
For a gentleman 10 have done so
would have been considered breach OF
good manners, and for a lady To ap-
pear in public with q handkerchief was
sufficient for her to forfeit all claim to
responsibility Husbands could divorce
wives who were compelled to use a
pocket handkerchief. 1t is even oil
record that in Rome a man before mar
rying made it point to ascertain IL
the lady had a nose that could ordina-
rily dispense with blowing in public.

There has been an unwritten law
among epicures that lettuce should
never be cut with a knife. Indeed, ii
should not be touched with a knife,
they say. Now the common people
have heard this and il is their habit TO
roll up a big leaf with a fork, sop
II in the dressing and pack ii in their
mouths as one used TO wad muzzle
loading gun with bit Of newspaper.
Once in awhile you will see dainty
eater pick up leaves in the fingers.
Mortified at the thought of touching the
lettuce even with silver fork. 1t
has not occurred to most lettuce eaters
that the epicures who established these
unwritten laws ate only the heart Of
the vegetable. which does not require
cutting. packing or wadding, but may
be taken on the tip OF fork and con-
veyed decently to the buccal cavity.
Therefore. when in society eat only the
heart. II you want the best part OF
the lettuce (the outer leaves) sneak into
The kitchen. shake n little pepper and
salt in your hand and 60 ahead.-New

These receipts are for oil in stOra ge,

track turned out with a suddenness
startling to behold. A tardy wagon
was caught at the tailboard, and the
road was strewn for a rod with crates
of indignant poultry. Trees, barns,
bandboX cottages and lonely dat
houses, a graveyard and a French res
taurant faded into the gloom through
which the Spitfire and the red devil
Glove their way.

and make it fast to the guard rail"
The fat passenger at the risk Of an
attack of apopiexy, drew up the light
fender and strapped it to the rail Of
the dashboard OF the bounding Spitfire.
Something tall and dark and round
doomed up a foot to the right as the
car crossed the road on the bias.
The red automobile, threatened either
with collision with a trolley pole placed
specially in the middle Of the road at
that point to dash out the brains Of
the unobserving or with the destruc.
ton of its tires on the hanges of the
rails Of the suddenly raised track, came
TO pinion destroying halt.
Through n dimly lighted street spun
the Spitfire; then, with a sputter Of its
fuse, it stopped in the middle Of Getty

came putting up the hill.

London. Oct. l0.~The Alaska boun-
dairy commission has reached IN agree
meat whereby all the United States
contentious are sustained with the cX-
cepton OF those in relation TO the Port
land ca,tlL which Canada wins. All
that 10" mains 10 be done is for the
cOmili .upprs To afiiX their signatures
TO the CCcision and complete the map
which VIII accompany il. ON the map
will be marked the boundary line def

Of the Portland canal, which is prac-
tically useless TO Canada, as it in
wolves the building of a railway to

That Canada is disappointed in the

is most unfortunate for Canada. But
while Canada feels this keenly. there
is scarcely a disposition 10 resent the
injustice There is intense diSappoint-

they would publicly withdraw from
