Where vessels Have Eyes.

Painted on the PROV Of nearly all the
junks. or Chinese sailing vessels. are
to be seen huge eyes. 1t is believed
by the superstitious inhabitants of Chi
ma that if the eye, which is raised as
in relief, was not there the vessel could
not see where to go and would there
fore come to destruction. Even if
when at sea the eye got destroyed or
damaged another would have to be
painted i'll at once. No Chinaman will
sail on a junk which is not adorned
by an eye, and even an English pas
senger boat which plies between two
Chinese towns has a huge eye painted
on each side of her paddle boxes.

ODD DERIVATIONS.
Curious History of the Word "VOte."
How "ReticuIec Got Its Name.

How "ReticuIe" Got Its Name.
Vote is a word with a curious his
tory. TO the Roman ''votum" was
solemn promise made to deity. From
the solemn promise itself the meaning
of ''votum" gradually became the
prayer or intense wish that accompa-
MED the promise and then any intense
wish whatever. So far the develop
ment proceeded in Latin. and vote"
passed into English with the same
sense. When Ben Jonson wrote of
public votes to heaven he meant not
mass meeting resolutions, but prayers.
Finally vote" acquired its present
meaning, the formal and emphatic ex-
preston of a wish, while the old sense
remains with it's double wow"
That openwork bag for shopping
called a reticule, gets its name directly
from the Latin ''reticulum," little
net" Popularity, however, the word is
supposed to owe it's existence to the
fact that when an Englishwoman visit
ed the first Paris exhibition with heI
little bag in her hand the Parisians
cried "Ridicule" The Englishwoman
misunderstanding the exclamation, /:
said to have thought it the correc
translation of little bag and return
ed to England calling it a ''reticule."

MOURNING CUSTOMS.
Origin of the Widows Cap and Black
Sleeve Bands.

The customs of mourning as prac-
ticed in various parts of the world
seem at first sight to have little rela-
ton with each other or with the in
ward grief which they are supposed
to typify. Yet by the exercise of a lit
tie patience many resemblances may
be discovered among them. The wild
ow's cap. for example, dates back to
the days of ancient Egypt Egyptian
men shaved the beard and head as a
token of mourning. The women, in
stead of cutting off the hair. concealed
it by a close cap. The Romans, who
were as q race clean shaven, shaved
the head in mourning and wore a wig
The black band on the sleeve as a
sign of mourning comes to us from the
days of chivalry. The lady tied scarf
or napkin. as the handkerchief was
called. about the arm of her knight.
If he was killed in battle she wore the
band in memory Of him.
Black has so long been the color of
grief in Anglo-Saxon countries that it
seems a part of the upside down civ
iliZation of the east that Japan and
China wear white. But no longer ago
than the time of Elizabeth the unfor-
tunate Mary of Scotland wore white
on the death of Darnley. Even now
the hearse used for children is white
and in England the mOurners at fu
nerals of young unmarried persons
wear hatbands and sashes of white.
queer English custom is that Of
decorating the black hearse horses witt
long false black tails. They attract NJ
more notice on a street in Liverpoo
than do the black nets used in thi:
country to cover the horses.
A great many sensible people protes
that wearing tokens of mourning is {
barbaric custom that should be abol
ished or greatly modified, but wheI
loss and grief actually come into th'
individual life one discovers that ther'
is a strange, subtle fitness in gloom!
garments and that they answer to tn,
need of the soul for silence and sepa

opening of the festival is signalized by
a grand procession, in which huge piles

burned. On the last occasion the piles
Of food were placed in a specially con-

BETEL NUT CHEWING.
a Is the National Diversion of the
SiaTncse People.

Betel nut chewing is the national di-
version of the Siamese. Every one
from high to low is addicted to the
habit, ard preparation Of the Quid for
those too poor to own ingredients and
boxes is in every town quite a busi-
ness of itself. In the smallest settle
ments one sees peddlers squatting be-
fore their trays of little boxes holding
lime and seeds of tobacco and pack
ages of syrah. or green betel leaves.
The betel tree is among the most COM
mon in Siam, sending up trunk some
times full sixty feet, always, like the
cocoanut. limbless except for its bush
of top, where. again like the cocoa,
the nuts grow in closely attached
lunches, to harden and redden before
gathered.
The cardamom seed, or Glove, is an
extra of the we'll to do and especially
of the women. The common habit
among men of the country is to add a
pinch of tobacco after first rubbing it
over their gums The bright red saliva
from chewing is, in the town house,
carefully deposited in handsome sill
yer receptacle. In the up country
house Sits between the open bamboo
flooring obviate the necessity for such
niceties But always on formal occa-
sion, even in the jungle edge, the betel
nut chewer carries his box for the free
ly flowing juice that stains the teeth
a deep red. which among the better
class with care and attention becomes
highly polished black.
And this is true even of Slams most
enlightened classes, whom contact with
the outside world appears not to wiz
| from the betel nut and discOlOred teeth
| In Bangkok l talked with one of roya
blood and his wife, both of whom haC
lived several years in England, yet the
teeth of each were black as ebOny, anC
