Patient Scot.

Alexander Innes Shand in his "A
Medley Of Memories" writes of an old
Scotchman whom he knew in his boy
hood. "He used to drive cattle in q
flowing, Powered dressing gown, which
had been passed on to him, and he only
shaved his gray beard at long inter
walls. One Of my earliest recollections
Is seeing him biting off the tails Of a
litter of terrier puppies in the court
yard. He was a philosopher in his own
way, and with the free run Of the serv-
ants hall and buffers pantry he took
life easily.
HE never complained. Once when
the landlord paid a morning visit that
parsonage splashed from the drainage
outside the door into a puddle within,
where some ducklings were disporting
themselves, and the wet was dripping
yer him from the blackened rafters.
"'Why, john was the exclamation,
you are in a terrible state here! We
must have your roof o%verhauled.' AYE,
it's lettin' in some water was the re-
ply, but it's gey thick, and they are
but little drops, and I do weel eneuch

Etiquette of Cannibalis1n.

Gwen among the savages Of French
Africa, who eat human flesh, there are
differences" said Paul Pucci, a young
italian traveller. "Some while ago,
when exploring in that country, l learn
ed a good bit about the ways of the
various tribes. In a majority Of them
c%annibalism is INDUCED only when the
bodies are those Of prisoners taken in
battle. 1t is all right to eat persons
who belong to hostile clans, but it
would be a gross violation of tradition
and the custom Of the land to feast
upon the friends or even upon men,
bers Of the same tribe. This delicacy
Of sentiment, however, is not universal,
and in Il tribe in particular, where l
noted the absence Of any old persons,
1 learned that it was the proper thing
to add the aged inhabitants to the To-
cal food supply. This confined the pop

Salt, the ClviIizer,

The use Of salt as q necessary sup
plement to diet has had much influence
in shaping the civilization and explora-
ton Of the world. 1t is most probable
that the oldest trade routes were c:e-
ated for the salt traffic, as salt and
incense formed the chief necessarles
Of the ancient days. This was certain"
ly the case with the caravan routes III
Libya and the SAHARA, while the mines
Of north India were the center Of a
large trade before the time OF Ale1an-
der.
Another Interesting fact is that salt
has played a considerable part in the
distribution Of man. When it became
absolutely necessary to him, as it did
at an early stage Df his development.
he was forced to migrate to places
where it could be obtained. This
brought him to tie seaShorc. where he
gained bis ideas OF maritime commerce.
Lastly, the preserratiye effects of salt
on flesh food made long oceanic voy-
ages possible and thus opened up. the
world to commerce and civilization.

Hard Lines For Bachelors,

"korea's the wrong place for bache-

Korea are considered as children and
have only children's privileges. You, a

"'Married?'

"'Heraus, then,' says she. And out

"You want to vote, but they won't

"You apply for a job somewhere.
How many children have your is the
first question you're asked.
"And as soon as you say you're un-

Where Bnbics Swim.

you imagine a quainter, a more charm

over two years old, laughing and
growing and swimming like fish in
pools of clear sea water? You will see
this sight in Samoa. Samoan women
believe sea baths benefit babies, and

E~xtravagnnt Shoes.

During the reigns of William Rufus,
Henry I. and Stephen all sorts of ex-
travagant shoes were worn. The toes
were sometimes long and pointed and
sometimes made to curl like a rams
horn. Occasionally they were twisted
in different directions, as though the
feet were deformed. The clergy pro-
tested and threatened, but the fashion
continued in spite Of the maledictions.
Several persons were communicated
for wearing pointed shoes, but they
took the risk.

The wild grape vine on the shores OF
