AS rule an hour to an hour and a
half is spent in conversation after a
dinner when neither host nor guests
have any other engagement for the
evening. When a lady and gentleman
are dining together the lady makes the
first motion at departure, the gentle
man promptly following her lead. No
matter how numerous the company, no
guest should depart without bidding
adieu to the hostess with thanks for
her hospitality. These need be neither
stiff nor ELUSIVE, just some little words
Of appreciation of the pleasure you
have enjoyed in her home. Goodbys
may be said to other friends present
before you bid adieu to the hostess or
to any standing near the door as you
pass out, but do not stop for any
lengthy conversation after having said
good night to your entertainers.

QUAINT BATAVIA.
Java's Picturesque Town and the
People One Meets There.

98Va'S picturesque Town thC
People One Meets There.
Imagine town of giant dolls houses
built in Burmese and japanese style,
trim avenues of beautiful trees, broad,
clean streets and thousands of grown
up dolls masquerading in oriental fan
cy dress, the picture book of ones
childhood animated-that is Batavia.
The streets are paraded listlessly by
gangs of blue CARRIED convicts, who
pick up cigar ends, bits OF paper and
fruit peel The cleanliness of the streets
is astonishing.
A man in Batavia once threw a piece
of banana peel on the ground, and,
looking back moment afterward, he
felt reproached by the sight of that
wretched piece of peel, the only blot
on the immaculate cleanness of the
streets. For awhile his dignity fought
with his sense of decency. Then he re-
turned, picked up the offending peel,
and-feeling very foolish-carried it
until he saw convenient opportunity
for disposing Of it.
Representatives of many nations con-
gregate in Batavia, blue gowned Jaw
anese, wearing white pith helmets
shaped like inverted saucers: portly
Chinese merchants, dressed in gro
tesque combination of yellow silk
clothes and billycock hats of Hamp-
stead Heath, their pigtailS interviewer
with blue silk; lean, tawny Malays,
Hindoos, Javanese and effeminate look
ing Cingalese jostle each other on the
sidewalks.
1t is impossible for a casual observ-
er to distinguish the sex of a Cingalee,
as the men have delicate, refined fea-
lures, are clean shaven, fasten their
long hair behind their heads in woman
fashion and wear skirts that sweep the
ground.
The dress of the Javanese women
merits a detailed description, as the
Batavian Dutch ladies have adopted
the native dress for morning wear.
A long strip of native cloth, called
sarong, is wound round and round the
body beneath the armpits and reaches
almost to, the ankles. An abbreviated
Elton jacket, called a kopeia, covers the
shoulders, and out of doors ladies' slip
pers are worn on stockingless feet, and
paper parasol is carried.
The Batavian Dutch do not make
their toilets, unless they go out of
doors, until the afternoon, so that one
may see men in pyjamas and women in
the native dress lolling on the veran-
das or sitting down to meals DIT the ho-
tells. The custom is lazy but sensible
one, considering the climate-Cham-

Ever since beginning the practice Of
law" said a Detroit lawyer, who beg
ged that his name be suppressed, Il
have made it a rule not to take cases
in which could not promise my client
a percentage of gain over my fees. One
day not long ago a business man came
to me with a request to sue debtor.
/ found it would cost far more than
could be recovered and told him so. He
was indignant and left vowing to get
a lawyer to press the case regardless of
expenses.
"a few weeks later he came to me
again. WELL said he, I took your ad-
vice and saved $3.50 by it. Now, want
you to take charge Of all legal matters
affecting the Blank corporation. Your
retainer will be $4,000 per year. I took
it, it is needless to Detroit News.

HotO Mosquito Cor
His r eUe ne e

''Do you see the glancing sheen of
yonder silvery pond?" inquired the mos
quito leader Of his faithful followers.
They stared long and earnestly at the
object he pointed out.
1--WE do" they hummed.
when the shadows fall the leader
went on, "a girl and guitar will ap-
pear at the margin of the shining wa
ters She will play the guitar, my
brothers, but only one note. You know
the note. It is that fatal note that the
murderous men of science have learned
that no mosquito can hear and live.
While the maiden plays that note we
may not approach the pond But my
soul hungers for revenge against this
cruel siren, and l mean to have it. This
night venture to the pond"
mo, nor hummed the distressed fol-
lowers.
"Do not seek to dissuade me-" cried
the mosquito leader. II must go, but
I will return. Keep silence that you
may listen. Let some of you gather
the filaments of the fuzzy bush and
with them fill my ears. Yes, yes; that's
the stuff. A little more in the left.
There. am quite deaf. The note can
not harm me. And now for vengeance
on the SIREN
Two hours later he winged his way
back to his anxious followers. He flew
slowly, because he was heavy with loot.
"CIear nv ears he huskily cried as
he sank upon poplar leaf. They flew
to obey.
"And your revenge, master?" eagerly
asked the second in command.
"My revenge is complete the hero
answered. with a hum of triumph. II
bit the siren nine times!' - Cleveland

Suicide by Smoking.

One of the most extraordinary sui
cides on record was enacted in Pesth.
Baron Rela Olyi, wealthy citizen, de-
liberately poisoned himself by smoking
cigars and tobacco to excess The bar
on had lost large fortune in specula-
ton. Having wife and six cl- lldren,
he insured himself very heavily in
their behalf in five companies and then
proceeded to put into operation his
unique plan for self destruction. He
hired a small room in a mean portion
of the city and in ten months died of
what the doctors called "galloping con-
sumption" He had consumed $500 CT
gars and about a hundred pounds Of to-

PLANT EVOLUTION.
Cultivation Has Done Wonders For
Fruit and Vegetables.

There are few more wrongly nameS2
things in the world than the Jerusa-
lem artichoke. In the first place it new.
er came from Jerusalem at all. And il
the second it is not really an artichoke,
but a sunfower with it's tubers devel-
oped by cultivation.
Cultivation has done wonders for
fruit and vegetables.
For instance, through it's means
peaches, apricots and nectarines have
been developed from the almond, to-
which family all three fruits belong.
There is little apparent connection be-
tween the wild crab of the hedgerows
and a Newtown pppin, but both are
members of the same genus. Indeed,
it is from this same wild crabapple
that the whole of the 700 odd existing
varieties of apples have been raised.
Technically speaking, too, the pear
is an apple, and so are the medlar and
the mountain ash, which latter is not
an ash at all.
Is a turnip cabbage? Yes, one va
riety at least of it is. This is the queer
vegetable known as kohirabi, which,
although classed by scientists among
the Brassica, or cabbage, family, has
huge roots just like turnip.
The cucumber is really fruit and
not vegetable. The same remark ap-
plies to the tomato, which is really a
fruit also.
The gooseberry is a currant. 1t is not
the least like it in either appearance or
flavor, yet both belong to the same
family of Ribes.
The onion is a charming little flower,
its various species bearing white, vel
low, blue and rose colored blossoms,
many produced in beautiful dropping
clusters. Originally the onion was a
Towering plant, but the cultivation of
certain of it's varieties has produced the
now world famous vegetable.
When is a chestnut not chestnut!
When it is a horse chestnut. This is
another of the curiosities of the classi-
fication of horticultural nomenclature.
The horse chestnut is Hsculus, and the
other kind Castanea.-Stray Stories.

Mabelle had been unusually quiet at
church one Sunday. She was generally
a very restless listener. Her mother,
noticing it, asked her:
what made ycu so good during serv-
ice this morning, daughter?"
II was thinking" answered the child,
"why the people who write hymns al
ways put something bad in them that
the minister can't let the people sing.
He always says omit the third or
some other stanza, and he says it over
twice, SO they'll be sure not to sing it,
so it must be something wicked. New

The Helping Word.

There was a certain old woman who
was constant and devout attendant
at church. Her husband died, and her
pastor called upon her to comfort her in
her sad bereavement.
"Well, my good woman" the pastor
remarked, sin your bitter trial I hope
you have found some ray Of comfort
from the Scriptures"
Indeed have, dominic" was the
confident though fearful reply.
'"That's grand, sister," exclaimed the
parson sympathetically 'but tell me
what passage of the word helped you
most"
"GriD and bear it."

Toad and Not a Toad.

One of the queerest reptiles in the
world is the horned toad Of Arizona
In the first place, though it looks like a
toad and is so called, it isn't toad al
all, but lizard. 1t lives nowhere save
in the desert and feeds on hard shelled
beetles and other insects.
One of the oldest things about the
creature is it's way of fighting. Two
horned toads will meet and fight like
bulls by butting, not apparently with
any notion of killing each other, but
each trying to turn it's adversary over
The toad that is finally upset goes
away Inundated and hides himself.

ANIMAL SWIMMERS.
The Squirrel Is Very Swift and the
Rabbit Is Oddly Awkward.

Almost all animals know how to
swim without having to learn it. AS
soon as they fall into the water or are
driven into it they instinctively make
the proper motions and not only man
age to keep a1oat, but propel them
selves without trouble.
Exceptions are the monkey, the cam
ell, giraffe and llama, which cannot
swim without assistance. Camels and
llamas have to be helped across water,
and giraffes and monkeys drown If
they enter it. Now and then both of
the latter species manage to cross wa
terways when they are driven to ex-
tremities, just as human beings occa-
sionally can keep themselves above wa
ter through sheer fright.
A funny though able swimmer is the
rabbit He submerges his body with
the exception of head and tail. The
latter sticks away up into the air, and
his hind legs make "soap suds" as he
churns the water madly to get away.
But with all his awkwardness he is a
swift swimmer and is only beaten by
the squirrel among the land animals.
The squirrel swims with his heavy
tail sunk away down in the water and
his head held high. He cleaves the
waves like duck, and man in a row.
boat has all he can do to keep abreast
of the swimming squirrel.
One thing that none of the land living
animals does is to dive. No matter how
hard pressed a swimming deer, rabbit,
squirrel or other purely terrestrial ami
NAL may be it will remain above wa
ter. But the Il Iskrat, beaver, ice bear
and otter dive Immediately.

1t Happens So.

She was matter. of fact and common
place,
A slim little brown eyed thing;
She had neither beauty nor wit nor grace,
She couldn't recite nor sing
Nor do anything much, except knit lace,
With sailor hat tipped over her face.
She had never learned how, to row or
swim,
And it bored her, she said to dance,
And If any one asked her to walk with
him
She lifted her tranquil glance
And said her little decided nay
In the most Indifferent sort Of way.

Who f1frted and prinked and posed
She found stylish and wealthy swell
Who promptly to her proposed
And married her promptly because CHATS
