rN THESE days boy, unless he
happens to be boy king, is not
allowed to take any part in pub
lie affairs; and even with boy
king the part he plays is more nomi-
nal than real, and after posing as a
monarch on some state occasion he is
whisked off to the nursery again.
But in former times boys not in
frequently attracted attention by
playing mems parts "in the public
eye"
which provided that no one should
sit in the British Parliament until
after he was twenty-one years old.
Before that time babe in arms could
be a member of Parliament if he
could get elected to the House of
Commons, or, if he was peer in his
own right, he could sit in the House
of Lords. Thus it happened that
boys in their early teens used fire.
quently to take their seats in the
Lords and not only vote, but take part
in debates.
Lord Torrington was barely four
teen years old when he made his first
speech in Parliament. He was Mas
ter Byng then, and his shrill, treble
voice carried to every part of the hall
as he spoke with remarkably good
sense of things of which boy of his
age is generally ignorant.
He grew up to be a celebrated ad-
miral and was made a viscount. In
fact, from the day when he made his
maiden speech until he died, we'll
along in years, he was never out Of
public life
Edmund Waller had already made
reputation as a poet when, at the
age of sixteen, he entered Parliament
and began to take an active part in
public debates. His first speech was
a great success. When the STRIPPING
of sixteen first arose to address the
House the members were inclined to
laugh at him, but he was not to be
laughed down, and soon had his hear
ers listening to him with rapt atten-
ton. When he ended he was greeted
with ringing applause and at once be-
came political power.

~ EOPLE of the different nations
- have different ways of greet
Il ing each other; and to the
people of each nation the
manner of greeting practised by the
people of the other nations appears
absurd.
When two Americans or two Eng
lishmen meet, they nod TO each other
and say, "Ah, how dedoo;" or, if they
are disposed to be very friendly and
have not seen each other for a long
time, or are meeting for the first time,
they may shake hands, though hand
shaking on first meeting is not con-
sidered good form" "
Now this seems all right to us, but
by the Spaniards, the Chinese, the
Eskimos and to many other peoples
it is regarded as a most absurd meth
cd of greeting friend. A Spaniard,
Mexican, or any native Of the South
American countries, embraces a friend
when he meets him. 1t is a peculiar
embrace. One arm goes ovel the
friends left shoulder and the other
under his left arm. Then both heads
are inclined forward so that the left
cheeks are brought close together.
but not touching. At the same time
it is proper to pat each other gently
on the right shoulder and say, "Ah!
ahl my friendP'
To an American such a greeting
is a most trying ordeal, and he i:
lucky if he performs his part of il
without stepping on his friends toes
a thing which is most likely to occur
to one without experience.
The French go through a somewhat
similar embrace upon meeting &;
friend, and in addition kiss each Other
on both cheeks; though frequently
they simply place their hands upor
each others shoulders and do theit
kissing that way.

HOU the LU0rid Says "HelLO"

Two big, bearded Russians meeting
each other will embrace with bears
hug and bestow upon each other a
kiss which falls where it may on
cheek, forehead or tip of the nose.
Two Chinese meeting will bow to
each other and then each, grasping
his own left hand securely in his own
right, will shake hands with himself
cordially.
Eskimos who have been brought
much in contact with white men greet
a pale face stranger with shouts of
"Nakuruk, which means good, and
some of them have learned to shake
hands after the American fashion.
But among themselves their form o.
greeting is to rub noses. This they
call in their language giving the
kooniks,' and travellers formerly were
much annoyed by being obliged to
submit to it. The white man, even
now, who ventures into the lands of
the Eskimos where travellers seldom
go, is greeted with the ''kooniks.p
Not long ago an American explorer
in Alaska was visited by a band OF
Eskimos from Point Hope. The
leader of the band, he says, Fixed
his forehead against mine and used
it as fulcrum to rub noses several
times"
Among the people of India the gen.
eral form of greeting is the salaam. 1t
consists of placing the palm of the
right hand to the forehead and bow
ing. The bow is regulated accord
ing to the social position of the per-
son saluted. Among equals in rank
it is a mere nod, but if the Governor
General is being greeted, or one OF
the native princes, the East Indian
bows until his forehead almost, OF
quite, touches the ground
This salaam in some form is com
mon among a variety of Eastern peo-
! pies.

THERE is a man who spends
all his days right in New
A. York who has more adven-
lures with wild beasts than
most big game hunters.
His name is Elwin R. Sanborn, and
he is connected with the New York
Geological Society, which has its
great park in the upper part of the
city of New York. In his capacity
as assistant editor of the Geological
Society Bulletin" Mr.. Sanborn is the
chief animal photographer of the
place, and there probably is no col
lection of beast, bird and reptile pho
tographs in the world that can COM
pare with the pictures made for the
society.
Now the reason that Mr.. Sanborn
has daily wild beast adventures is
that he has found that the only way
to get good photographs is to get
them from the inside of the cages in
stead of the outside
1t is much more pleasant, of course,
to erect the camera comfortably on
its tripod outside of the beasts cage
and photograph it behind the bars;
but the bars are great obstacles and
spoil the photograph quite apart from
the fact that they dishgure the pic
lures in themselves.
There are no bars in front of the
beasts in the Geological Society pho
tographs. Whether it is a boa CON
strictor, wolf, giraffe, grizzly bear or
buffalo, the photographer goes in to
the beast with his camera and Shoots
it" in its own stamping ground.
i Two or more keepers usually ac-
company Mr.. Sanborn on these trips
into animal land; but the camera often
has such an exciting and irritating
effect on the beasts that they would
not hesitate to charge five hundred
keepers.
Therefore great many expensive
cameras have been lost to the world
in the last three years Wild animals
ranging from bull elk to bears have
splintered them and driven the pho
tographer and the keepers over fences
| and up rock-work to escape.
Il Strange to say, the worst time that
Mr.. Sanborn has had yet he had not
with a grizzly bear or an old terror oi
: a bison, or hippopotamus, but with
the DcduuluI anu pIdHltINC lOOhIIlS
. llama.
, The old natural history books anc
biographies used to tell how sweet
and amiable this beast was-so soft
hearted, they said, that it would knee
down and weep copiously from it;
large liquid eyes if its master beat it
1t is a pretty tale, but, unhappily
. quite untrue If the llama coulc
weep at all, it would weep only with
disappointment when it failed to bite
| large enough piece out of its mas
ter. Mr. Sanborn found out that the
llama is worse in point of temper anc
t danger than most bears.
: He had photographed one liam;
when it sprang bodily on him, throw
ing him and falling on top Of him. 1
: smashed his camera and cut his up
( per lip clean in two. 1t kicked hin
and tried to bite him, and it wa!
{ driven off at last only after it ha;
/ mauled him badly from head to foot
r The Geological Society has con
sidered the matter and has directed
: Mr.. Sanborn hereafter, in times o
: danger, to save himself first and hi
camera afterward.

The spot in the world which offers
fishing of the greatest variety is Free
mantle, Western Australia. A man
fishing from boat in that harbor
may catch two dozen varieties of fish
within an hour.
He may successively draw up
snapper. a mackerel, a perch, an eel,
a hog fish, which grunts; a hatchet
fish, a skate and all the rest.
Then he may look over and see
the sandy bottom a hundred feet be-

only by faint blue mist, with one
or more specimens of the numerous
varieties and species of fish in sight.

To Persons by the Name of Huston.

A letter was received at the county
clerks office this week from L. P.
Barton, an attorney in Ell Paso, Texas,
who is endeavoring to locate the heirs
of Robert Huston. Mr.. Huston died
recently in FL Paso at an advanced
age, leaving considerable property
which is unclaimed. He had six
brothers and six sisters. One brother,
John Huston. born in County Cavan.
Ireland, more than IS years ago, lived
for many years somewhere in the
state of Vermont and had a family
of four sons and one daughter. The
sons names were Sandy Byron, John
and George, and the daughter, Sarah.
is said to have married a man named
Nichols or Nichols. John Huston, ST..
and his wife are said 10 have died
in this state years ago, but the sons
and daughter are supposed to be still
living in Vermont, and would inherit
that part of the estate coming to their
father. The name Huston is not
common and it is likely that the heirs
to the property can be found If any
of them are living. AS far as is
known no one by the name of Huston
ever lived in Brattleboro.
