\ Danish Dinner Custom.

\ pretty table observance in Danish
families is for children. even little ones
who can scarcely toddle. TO go gravely
after dinner To- salute their parents
and say. TAX for mad" thanks for
the meaD. Even visitors shake hands
with their host and hostess and 90
through the same formality. In Ger
man families that hold TO tradition
the same custom prevails. When the
evening meal is ended the party stands
mp around the table. and each shakes
hands with the neighbOr, saying, &c
segnete mahlZeit' blessing the food.
This is a relic of those faroff times
when food was the elusive ideal, the
thing that came as Il personal compli-
ment from the Deity. There is an echo
of that custom among the students of
Leipsic. whose intimate greeting at
all times of the day is simply 'Mahl-
zeitr' An English writer says: Sci
dom do | rise from the table without
the passing flash of Il remembered sen
tence: Thank you, papa and mamma,
for my nice dinner. Please may little
boy get down."

Waterproof Foliage.

An oriental scholar was giving an
address on the philosophy and religion
Of the east. His English was of good
quality, only now and then becoming
interesting from the humorous point of
view when he attempted colloquial
idioms. After describing with fervor
the sage-the one who can walk amid
the difficulties and perplexities of NOR
tai existence and yet, unaffected by
these, retain his perfect serenity-the
speaker was looking about for some ia
miliar comparison by which to bring
home the idea to his hearers.

A Favored Bank.

| Representative SulZer has introduced
| a resolution into congress regarding
the sale by the treasury department OF
| the old custom house property in New
York TO the National City bank which
| is controlled by John ID. Rockefeller.
| The bank refuses to pay taxes on the
property, claiming that the deed still
rests with the United States because
on the purchase price. The taxes on
the property amount 10 about $4,000
annually This was one of the scandals
of the last campaign.
The sale of the old custom house
property was negotiated by the treas
ury department through Secretary Ly-
man J. Gage and Assistant Secretary
Frank A. Vanderlip in 1899. Vanderlip
is now vice president of the National
City bank. at salary of $4,000 a year
and Lyman j. Gage is president of the
United States Trust company. New
York. an ally of the National City bank.
The National City bank made an Of
fer of s.. 265 900 for the property.
When this was accepted, $3.215.000
was transferred TO the government
depository account with the bank. MOI
one dollar changed hands with the
transaction. This left $4,000 unpaid
on the property. which the govern
ment agreed to lease at an annual in
terest of per cent on the purchase
price. $4,000 a year, until the new
custom house was completed.
In addition to freedom from taxa
Iiion and water rents amounting To a
least $4,000 a year. the bank has re
ceived annually. except last year. $3.50

and. in addition, has kept the property
in repair.

tive Sulzer the appropriation for the

The Potato Corner.

After all is told. ii seems that the
Potato crop of last year was a good
one. The story of many months that
Il was a failure was only trick of the
trade II is another illustration that
the big commission houses and opera
tors are not to be trusted when they
turn in crop reports.
Last fall New York men came to- the
west to buy potatoes, and they told
they were here because of a failure in
the east. Illinois people knew they
did not have many potatoes in this
state. for they were still unable to
fight the potao bug. If the country
depended on Illinois for a potato crop,
it was realized there was famine
ahead But there were potatoes in the
east The operators were in the west
getting an early supply just that they
