Harvard's Vegetable Diet.
rom the Boston Advertiser.

FROM the Boston AQvertlSer.
These are the days when the vegetarian's
smile sweeps blandly over the tables Of the
Harvard Dining Association. He Is paying
500 week for his vegetable courses. while
his f1esh-eating brother is. for the first time
paying extra for roast beef, eggs and pud-
ding. The vegetation is asked questions
but the meat eater presents his coupon
ticket additional. from which are punched
orders for roast beef at II cents plate,
sirloin beef at IL cents, eggs f2) at cents,
buildings at cents, and so on through the
list of dessert dishes. Last year at this
time all those who ate at the Harvard COM
mons paid 1920 week for their board.
Since the new vegetarian regime began its
had what he had before at the same price,
obliged to contribute to the formers cray
ing for red meat.
There is no danger of return to old
ways. So successful has the new system
proved that the number of students who eat
at the commons is between 200 and 800
larger than it was at the corresponding
time hast year. There are now over 1900
regular boarders. One of the greatest boons
of this method of separating the Vegeta-
rians from the meat eaters has been to the
poor student. For years he has been COM
PEELED to contribute to the support of the
meat eater, but now he can adjust his food
schedule to suit his own means. And since
this new diet. without beef. has been in
force the standard of health is better
among those who eschew flesh.

French Politeness.

From Harper's Bazaar.
During the past summer which spent
among exclusively French people in a hotel
al Saint-Germain, estimated that | lost
quite twentyfour hours out of each week
saying Good morning" and Good even
ing to the men. women, little children and
dogs about me. If you encounter the same
person twenty-five times in the same day
you must each time smile rapturously
pause, at least shake hands, if you do not
kiss, tremendously inquire how he or she
is going and tremendously bid him or
her ''au revoir at parting.
Not only every man and woman expects
this, but all the little children toddle up to
you, shake hands, and exact the same
amount of ceremony. Then every well
regulated French family has a dog who
more than likely occupies a chair and eats
off plate beside you at the table so that
1t is considered churlish if you do not also
stop and tell the dog bon jour- dozen
times day. pausing to take the paw which
he is prettily taught to extend to you.
When the washerwoman brings home
your linen there are at least five minutes
spent in tremendously greeting and parting
from her. In the operation OF receiving and
paying for linen you exchange ''Mercis'
and "Pardons'' not fewer than ten times.
Any other serving person or tradesman who
comes to do business with YOU throughout
tie day you similarly receive with bon
Jour, monsieur" and ''Au revoir." and you
thank him and beg his pardon as often as
you can possibly get the words into the
length of his stay.

Pick Up the Waste Paper.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The suggestion of Miss Gertrude Howe Of
Hull House that children be instructed in
the active duty of picking up waste paper
ard in the passive one of RETAINING from
throwing paper into the streets is wise. and
if acted upon will make an appreciate diff
ference in the city's appearance. The pick
ing up of pins has always been regarded as
productive of good luck, and if IL were I'M
derstood that picking up papers is quite as
profitable and that IL brings something bet
ter than luck the consciousness of having
performed a good act no doubt many Chi
dren would be glad to shoulder this small
civic re possibility. AS matters now stand
neither children nor grown people have
strong paper conscience, and the spectacle
of a schoolgirl tearing UP her school notes
and casting them to the winds Is hardly
less common than that of the male news
paper reader dropping his discarded jour
nal into some vacant lot But where shall
1 put the paper?' asks the young aspirant
to civic honors, and it must be confessed
that here is a difficulty that has not been
solved With the best intentions towards
the Improvement of streets and vacant
property wayfarers cannot be expected to
make walking waste baskets of themselves,
and to go about carrying unsightly bits of
newspapers under their arms. Resident dis
tricts offer no public receptacleS for debris.
and the domestic garbage can is not always
available. If the receptae1es were close at
hand no doubt children would be quick to
use them and to do their part towards rid

New York Coasters.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune
Some streets in this city are every winter
made and kept practically impossible by
vehicles through the practice of coasting
which wears to a CLASSY surface ice and
snow that otherwise would be so uneven
and rough to afford some foothold Yes
terday coasting parties We're to be seen
equipped with brooms, with which they
were sweeping from the roadway the ashes,
sand and sawdust which humane people
had sprinlSled there to save horses from
Slipping. They Were doing the same on
sidewalks so that they might use them
also toboggan slides. Nor is it by any
means an unheard-of even uncom-
mon thing for them to carry pals of water
out of the houses and pour it upon the
street in freezing weather in order to re-
the ice which had been worn away to
the pavement.
Such conduct is simply criminal. and
should be treated. 1t is al very well
to say that children should he permitted to
have their fun; but that remark is not
made by people who have To imperil limb
and life on sidewalks which the children
have made icy with their seds, nor by
those who have had horses fan and suffer
injury on streets made slippery by coasting
parties. The free use of the highways is
& sound principle but it must not be con-
strued to mean that some people are free
TO use them in a way that will make them
unsafe for everybody else to use. Some
sharp police attention paid to coasters is
urgently in order.

London English a Base Jargon.

From the Saturday Review.
The vigor and purity Of a language can
only be preserved by the fashionable class.
the class whom in matters social every
body initiates speaking it well. But how
can English be well spoken when some of
the greatest ladies speak the idiom of Mas
sachusetts through their noses and a large
proportion of the men cough the idiom Of
Frankfort from their threats? The con-
slant b. bling of broken English at dinner
tables and In drawing rooms Is becoming
quite fatiguing, and as a result the Eng
Iish speak their tongue worse than 1t was
ever spoken before. Everybody knows the
temptation to speak sort of baby pidgin-
English to a foreigner. in the strange hope
that 1t may be more Ineligible to him.
This and the slang taught US by the Yam
KEGS have reduced the English language as
spoken by smart people to base jargon.

'On the contrary. the greater part of the
