Miss Mary l.. Durham in her book
| Of travels through the Balkan states
says she found that the idea of women
travelling without male escort in
those countries struck the people whom
she met as most singular. A Montene-
grin was also astonished at an eXpend-
iture of money upon travel which
seemed to him without an ADEQUATE
purpose.
The English, heshad been told, want
ed to see and know everything They
Travelled everywhere. 1t must be a
very expensive habit. 1t had perhaps

distance l admitted that it had, and
be expressed great establishment at the
lavish expenditure.
And it taxes not only money, but
time" said my companion.
He laughed merrily. Time! What
is time? Time is nothing. You live,
and then you die" The idea of reck-
oning time" amused him vastly.
Time" said a Hungarian who was
Of the party. In order to show his su.
perior knowledge. sis thought very
much of by the English. l have been
told that they have a 'proverb which
says, Time is money!"
We corroborated this report, to the
establishment of both men, for even
the Hungarian thought this was going
rather far. The Montenegrin thought
1t one of the widest statements he had
ever met with and shook his puzzled
head.

In France there is peculiar signifl.
canoe in the ways in which the ring Is
held at the precise moment of the ut
terance Of the fatal words of the mar
rage VOW. If the bridegroom slips the
ring at once over the second joint it is
a sign that he gives of the sovereignty
Of his own house, but if as he repeats
the words he merely holds it over the
end of the finger, but does not let it
slip down till afterward, it declares
that he intends to remain master and
protector.
Abroad the absence or presence Of
the wedding ring is much more noticed
than in England. In Norway it is con-
sidered dishonorable for man not to
bear the sign that he is married. In
modern Greece the husband wears a
gold circlet, the wife n silver, a remi-
nfscence Of the ancient sun and moon
worship. which still prevails in India

FRUIT MYSTERIES.
The Banana IL Seedless, Though No.
body Knows Why.

The Banana IL Seedless, Though No
body Knows Why.
The banana is seedless, or nearly so,
and has been for centuries, though
nobody knows why. 1t is propagated
by suckers and possibly had no seeds
when it was first found in it's wild
state. The banana is a modified berry.
Cutting the fruit through the middle
you will sometimes see a few little
brown spots, which are the rudimen-
tary seeds. Occasionally the banana
does actually produce few seeds.
The pineapple is seedless, being prop
agated likewise from suckers and from
slips. The eggplant, which is a fruit,
botanically speaking, is occasionally
seedless. This plant is able to pro-
duce developed fruit whether the bios
som is fortified or not. Horticulture
lists are endeavoring at the same time
to rid fruit plants Of thorns. Some
oranges and lemons are very thorny-

orange, which is the best of the man.

to the United States from Cochin Chi
ma. In Florida it's thorniness has been
reduced by selecting buds from the
branches with the fewest thorns.
are Objectionable because they
puncture the oranges and lemons
when the branches are blown about
by the wind. Efforts are being made
to get rid of the thorns on raspberry
and blackberry plants simply for con-
venience in picking the fruit The
thorns are meant by nature to protect
the plant from animals. Cultivators
select those plants which happen to
be thornless or nearly so.

There is often a hint of something
approaching to an ancient kind of slang
in various dignified words in the Eng
fish language. So respectable a term
as 'perspicuity," for instance, means
that thing can be ''seen through"
easily. The word apocalypse" means
lifting off the cover" or, in other
words. the revelation of whatever good
or bad things may be concealed in a
chest of secrets like Pandora's box pos
sibly, or maybe only in the lunch
basket of some old Greek workingman:
impeachment" coming from Latin
word meaning to catch or hold the
feet, wildly expresses the nature of
anything that entangles or hinders one
I'm the performance of any action. Still,
to speak of an impeachment in ones
speech is in certain way to get ones
foot in ones mouth.
Conspiracy" comes from o Latin
word meaning to breathe together. The
picture it gives Of n group OF plotters
with their heads thrust up in n CON-
pact bunch is vivid enough to render
enjoyable the sarcasm of the old Ro-
man who invented the term.-Chicago

A Culinary Triumph That Ia Dear to

The professional hobo generally trav-
els and operates alone, but if upon ar
irving at some large town or city he
happens to meet other congenial men,
bers Of his profession a pooling of in
terests is sometimes undertaken, no
DO camp set up, and the town is sys-
tematically worked. The spot or a
camp usually chosen is in the outskirts
on some wooded tract not too far from
the railroad. Here the profits are sdi-
vided and the different territories al
lotted. At nightfall all congregate to
this point with the spoils and supplies,
and over the ''hobo stew" incidents Of
the day are discussed. "Hobo stew" is
a triumph of culinary art that these
gentry have a particular weakness for.
A large iron pot is purchased, begged
or stolen and half filed with water.
Into this are thrown pieces of beef,
pork, chicken (from some robbed hem
roost), bread, potatoes, carrots, onions
and, in fact, everything edible that has
been or can be secured. When the sa-

These camps are never kept in exist

realizes that the danger of detection
and roundup is an ever present one

tramps, like the birds, have regular mi
