THE DAILY coURTEsIEs.
Laws of Etiquette Apt to Be Broken
Quickly by One That Lacks
Good Home Breeding.

Like the attention a child is trained
to give to its pei son should be that
called to certain rules of good breed
ing at home. There are many who
adopt an extremely polite air to
strangers that fail in the first appli-
cation of courtesy to the family, says
Hortense Provost
The man that is not polite to he
wife should not be surprised if hi:
sons show the same lack of Difference
to their mother. nor should he feel
hurt if that same lack is shown to
him personally, as children are great
mimicS.
The girl who is not reared to be po-
lite to her father. mother, sisterS and
brothers will just as surely be guilty
of breaking the laws of etiquette in
her treatment of other peopple as OPP
portunity affords. A thin veneer of
good manners breaks very soon when
worn by person who has not been
used to its polish, and the boor shows
plainly.
Just why relations should think it
not worth while to be polite to one
another is not quite clear; but it is
! the rule, apparently, and many seem
| to think it is not necessary to be
| courteous to ones own family. By
| courtesy is meant more the observance
of small things, like holding open a
| door, or placing = chair, or lifting the
| feminine kin the regard for an ex-
pressed opinion, the pleasant recogni-
ton and the smile from the women
and girls to their men folks,'' to use
homely, but proper appellation.
Ii man is visiting, say at house
| party, what would be thought of him
If he failed to give a morning salu-
tation to other guests? Yet some men
Go not hesitate to bring only sour
looks and fault-fin dings for the matu-
| final greetings in their own homes.
A woman who snaps and is caustic to
those she meets away from home SO
soon finds her mistake that she is
forced, by the very eXigencieS of the
case, to change her methods; yet she
may keep up those disagreeable ways
in the bosom of her family, and never
think that she is to be blamed.
Those in charge of young people
should insist upon the observance OF
the spirit of politeness as well as the
| letter.
Only by instilling deeply into the
youthful mind the fact that politeness
must be more than an occasional prac-
tice, that it must be an immutable
law, just as is personal cleanliness
can true courtesy become established
and an ever-present fact and habit.

He has no prospects of ever sharing

to leave him anything like fortune.
Under the watchful care of his uncle,
Rear Admiral Prince Louis of Batten-
berg, whose flagship is the Drake, he
will get just fair chance to show
whether he has in him the making of
smart naval officer. Prince Louis is
a thorough master of his profession, as
was shown on his recent visit to Amer
lea with the crack squadron under his
command, but though he had married
one of Queen Victoria's grand-daugh-
tiers he was % years in the service be-

From that it will be rightly inferred
that Prince Albert Alexander will not

A missionary society sent out these

RULES FOR THE EYES.
Do Not Get the Attention They
Should, Although Contribute
So Largely to Beauty.

Although the eyes contribute more
han almost any other feature to per-
sonal beauty, they get surprisingly
little attention from the majority of
persons. Here are a few simple rules
for preserving their strength and
brightness:
Do not read by freight When pos
sible protect the eyes from the direct
glare of lamp, gas and candlelight
Do not read or work in such dim
light that an effort is necessary to see
clearly If the eyes are tender, wear
smoked or tinted glasses. Never ap-
ply soap near the eyes. Battle them
once daily, the lids being open, in
tepid water. 1t is best to use an eye
bath or egg cup, and to open and close
the lids in the water. Do not apply
any face cream near the eyes Put
nothing on the lashes but the best of
unscented oil. Never cut the lashes
in the belief that they will be i'm
proved. Keep in mind that white
cliffs, stretches of sand and of snow
are injurious, and must be guarded
against with glasses.

stantly fabricated with mutton fat

fabrication only has the result of Civ

HOW TO MAKE A CAMERA.
What the Handy Boy Can Do with
Few Tools, Cigar Box and
Piece of Tin.

The chief requisite in making
pinhole camera that will actually pro-
duce good photographs is fair
amount of mechanical ingenuity and
a good stock of patience.
The cost is a trif1e, or nothing, as
all the materials required are cigar
box, dozen little nails, such as cigar
boxes are made with, a narrow strip
of tin one inch long, another piece of
tin an inch square and a bottle of
glue.
From pieces of the cigar box cut
three neat squares, each two and one
half inches each way, and two lit
tie larger on two sides. The three
pieces must be exactly square, then
tack and glue them together to form
tight little box, with one end open.
You must figure it out so that this box
is just two and one-half inches Tout
side measurement each way. This is
where your stock of patience may be
required.
When this is done blacken the inside
with ink. Now cut little hole, one
fourth inch across. in the end of the
box opposite the open end, and bevel
the edges with a jack-knife upon the
outside of this hole. (See E, fig. u
Take the inch square piece of tin and
drill a tiny hole in the center, and
glue it inside the end of the box in
which the bevelled hole is cut, so that
it will expose the little hole in the tin.
This hole in the tin acts as the lens,
and should not be larger than the
point of pin.
To make the plate-holder, take four
slender pieces of wood, each of them
two inches long, and glue them in the
four corners of the box, SO that the end
of each will rest upon the end of the

COMMERCIAL cULLINGs.

According to the government report,
the United States consumed last year
about one-fourth of the sugar produc-
ton of the world. Nearly all the
sugar brought into this country is pro-
duced from cane, and the United States
consumes fully one-half of the cane
sugar produced in the world. Cane
sugar is forming at present larger
proportion of the worlds sugar supply
than during 1890-19O2. :
The American financial condition
was so easy in 1905 that we were abba
to import $64S,00O,o0O worth of dutia-
BILE foreign goods, an excess over 1901
of sos, 100000, and over 1903 of $685..
100000; at the same time our imports
of free goods amounted to $3.50, 000, 900,
an excess over 1904 of 10000, 900 ami
over 1903 of $93,000,000. Together.
those increases in 1905 over 1904
amounted to $143,OOO.0OO.
There has been a remarkable In
crease this year in exports to Japan,
In ten months the exports to China
have been $5O.00O,0OO, compared with
$40, 100000 last year, and to Japan the
total for the same time has jumpel

Of weather, subject to irregular hours
for meals and compelled to eat all
kinds Of food.
For z years was constantly trou-
bled with Indigestion, caused by eat
ing heavy, fatty, starchy, greasy, poor
ly cooked food, such as are most &C.
cessible to men in my business. Gem
orally each meal or lunch was fol.
lowed by distressing pains and burn
ing sensations in my stomach, which
destroyed my sleep and almost unfit
ted me for work. My brain was SO
muddy and foggy that it was hard for
me to discharge my duties properly.
This lasted till about year ago.
when my attention was called to Grape
Nuts food by a newspaper ad and
concluded to try It. Since then have
used Grape-Nutsfzt nearly every meal
and sometiaae between meals. We

When the stomach is feeble the food
lies in it undigested, decays and throws

walls of the stomach aud cause inter.
ference with other organs, especially
with the action Of the heart and lungs.
These gases have other i'll effects. The
nerves and the brain are disturbed
and discomforts such as dizziness, hot
flashes, sleeplessness, irritableness and
dependency originate from this source.
Experience shows that these troubles
vanish just as soon as the stomach is
made strong enough to digest the food.
In other words, it needs q tonic TINT will

but obviously received very long
while ago a slight infusion of amitic
blood from the races dwelling to the
east of the White Nile. Whilst they
are in the warrior stage
the Nasal live principally on milk and
on blood drawn from the veins of liv-
ing cattle. They also occasionally eat
the meat Of oxen, goats or sheep.
When a Nasal decides that he has
had enough knocking about, and has
accumulated sufficient property on
which to retire, he decides to marry.
This is usually about the age of q to
80. After marriage he shaves his
head, or at any rate keeps the hair Of
his head very close-cropped. He ceases
to anoint himself with mutton fat, AMI
definitely ranges himself with the old
men, who in ntra-distinction to FL
Moran, the young men, are termed Ell
Moru or Ell Moruok.
The Ba-hima have been the Nor
mans of Central Africa in regard to
their rapid oonquests POSSIBLY contem-
poraneous with the Norman conquests
in Europe), the superior civilization
they introduced into many countries,
and the domestic animals which they
brought with them from the country
of their origin, which was in all prob
ability the southeastern part of the
Egyptian Sudan. The Ba-hima are OBJ
viously closely related to the Somalis,
the CALAIS, and, perhaps, the ancient
Egyptians.
Although it is the fashion amongst
the men to keep the head hair closely
cropped it would, nevertheless, if al
lowed to grow, be more fl izzly and less
woolly than that of the unadulterated
negro. The features of the face are
certainly not negro, but Hamite. The
color of the skin also is much lighter
than amongst the negroes. In Qua
baras, Muhima, of whom l give a
sketch, it is quite bright reddish yei-
low, but I have frequently seen it no
darker tinge than amongst the Fella-
hin of Egypt. The individual here de-
picted is native of Mpororo, on the
southwestern limits of the Uganda pro-
tectorate. He was a famous elephant
hunter, and most charming, gentle
manly man.
Uganda proper is a country of low
rounded hills interspersed with deep
valleys, that invariably contain marsh
es or dense forests that have, to some
extent, absorbed the marsh. In the
whole of the kingdom of Uganda there
is scarcely anywhere a stream or river
of clear running water. Every water
course is choked with vegetation,
chiefly paprus and other Iushes, love
lies-ableeding," and rank ferns. Looked
down upon from height, these often
broad marshes look like beautiful ex-
panses of bright green turf On the
hills above the marsh the country Is
most pleasing. On these heights there
are innumerable wild flowers, but in
color displays two especially predomi-
nate. One is species of sunfiower
and the other is beautiful mauve
composite called Vannonia.
