TABLE NAPKINS.
They Came Into General Use In the
 Fifteenth Century.

They Came Into General Use In the
 Fifteenth Century.
 Curiously enough, that article, now considered almost indispensable, the table napkin. was first used only by children and was only adopted by elder members of the family about the mid dle of the fifteenth century. In etl- uuette books of an earlier date than this among other sage pieces of advice for children are instructions about Wlp- ing their fingers and lips with their napkins.
 It seems that the tablecloth was long enough to reach the floor and served the grown people in place of napkins. When they did begin to use napkins they placed them first on the shoulder, then on the left arm and finally tied them about the neck. A French Wrlter who evidently was conservative and did not welcome the napkin kindly re cords with scorn:
 "The napkin is placed under the chin and fastened in the back, as If one were going to be shaved. A person told me that he wore his that way that he might not soil his beautiful frills.
 It was difficult matter to tie the two corners i'd tue back, and 1t is sad that thence originated our expression for straitened circumstances, "Hard to make both ends meet" This custom led to the habit of table walters carry ing napkin on the left arm.

REVELED IN PERFUMES.
The Ancients InduI&ed In Them ts
 mn Extravagnnt Degree.


 The use of perfume was indulSed in to such an extravagant degree by the ancients that some of the more ascetc men had good reason to denounce II. Solon issued an edict prohibiting lts sale in Athens. Julius Caesar and l-u- cinus, who were Roman consuis ln 665, published law forbidding the sale of exotics in that city, and by the laws of Lycurgus perfumers were expelled from Sparta as being vast CTS of oil and encouragers of sensuous- ness. CIearchus wrote against the ex' cessive use of unguents, and Socrates acclaimed against them in strong terms. preferring, he said. "the smell of healthy toll and the perfume or good and manly life" It was custom ary at festivals to pass round to the guests perfumes served in alabaster' boxes and vessels of gold. At one of these feasts Cynulcus, who loved 10 der;de the youth for the use of per fumes. was made a butt for their rld- icu]e. Some mischievous youth anoint- ed the cynic with much ointment pouring it lavishly over hls head and face When he awoke he exclaimed in an angry voice: What is this! On, Hercules, will not some one come w1to a sponge and wipe my face. which IS thus polluted with lot of dirt!'
 At the Syrian banquets 1t was usual for the slaves to come in with bladders full of Babylonian perfumes and be- dew the earlands and walls and hang ings and fill the halls with delicious fragrance. In some of the more mod ern feasts statues and ornaments were provided with jets which threw out diluted essences and attars.-London Society

ysOn's Astronomy.

In Tennyson's "Palace of Art occur the lines:
 She saw the snowy poles and moons of
 Mars.
 That mystic field of dritted light In mid Orion and the married stars
 This at first looks like a literary par allel to Swifts well known fortultous forecast of the discovery of the Mar tian satellites, and J. $. Stevenson, writing from Rlairavon. Norwood, Ceylon. points out that Professor Ii. H. Turner quotes 1t in Modern Astron- omy' as having been written in 1S3o. This, however. appears not to have been the case. for Mr. Stevenson on reference to the biography of the late poet laureate by the present Lord Tennvson has found the note: The Moons of Mars is the only modern reading here. All the rest are more than half a century old Scientific dis covery was thus not anticipated by Tennyson in the mention of Martian satelites.-\ature

NATIONAL RESPONSIBILITY


 Tho resnonsibiIity assumed by the Tinted States more than eighty year" ago in regard to the other fePuoi'e' af the western hemisphere has become SO firmly fixed as q part of our haeioi- al policy that it is not easy to con ceive of any conditions which would cause it's abandonment.
 That the doctrine" declared ps President Monroe has been ellafSea hevond what was intended by its at- thor is unquestionable, but the V''al principle, very simple in itsapplicat1on' has undergone no change and the American people as earnestly adhere to it now as at any time since It's pro mitigation. There seems no reason to doubt that the intelligent and uh- preiudiced people of the southern re publics are also favorable to thlS American principle and desire that it be maintained.
 That there has been some feeling of apprehension and distruct regard inc the United States in those couA- tries is we'll known, but what haS tlansp,red tt the Rio congress shows that such feeling is by no 5ieans 2GA- eral and is not entertained by milnen- tial statesmen of the Latin American republics With the passage of tune the prejudice against the tnlted States naturally engendered by the war with spain will steadily diminish, so that it may reasonably and conl- dently be expected that within anoth- CT generation it will have wholly dis appeared and given place to a feeling of hearty respect and complete c2Hfl- dencc.
 The position of the United States to- ward the sister republics being clearly defined aud never more plainly and impressively than by Secretary Root, the duty which this position makes in cumbent is obvious. Not only must we continue to safeguard the inde- pendent countries of this hemisphere against foreign aggression in whatVN- CT form, but We should exert our peaceful influence in every practi- cable way to promote the material all l social advancement of those coun tries. We must seek to impress more and more strongly upon their people the fact that our Friendship is substan tial and sincere and that We have ne motive respecting them which il not prompted by an earnest desire tol their national welfare.
 The Graphic believes that there is great future for the South Amer can countries when they shall have learned the methods that make fol progress. The United States can dc much to teach them and there can bt no doubt that We would be well re warded for doing so. There IS iielt of vast possibilities, ill the opinion o rome, greater than those of the Orient It has been too much neglected in thu past by American merchants and man ufacturers
 With a better understanding on tht part of the l.atin-American people O the friendly sentiment of Our peopl, toward them. which it is the duty O this government to take every eppol tunity to promote, will come inevit ably closer commercial relations wit, benefit to those countries and to oul selves of inestimable value.

south Omaha Minister becomes SUPER
intendent of the Chi1d's
Saving Institute.


Rev. F. NJ. Sisson, d. D., of South
Omaha, has been elected superintendent
of the Child Saving institute by the truss
tees, to succeed Rev. A w. Clark, who re-
signed several months ago. Dr. Sisson
will retain charge of his church until
the next conference Is held, at the same
time devoting attention to the institute.
The institute was founded in 1892 and
has grown steadily, caring for $40 home
less children in 1905. The trustees have
delayed choosing a superintendent in an
effort to get the right man for the place
and they believe they have succeeded.
Dr. Clark, the former superintendent,
left Omaha, because of an invalid son
who required the Colorado climate. He
was made superintendent of the Juvenile
Improvement leagues work in Denver, but
advices from that city say he is no longer
connected with the association, and has
gone into private enterprise,

Fine Indian Photographs.

We recently published an illustra-
ton of Indian Twins which should
have been credited to Major Lee Moore
house of Pendelton, Oregon, who has
perhaps one of the best collection of
Indian pictures of the north west.
Major Moorehouse's famous pictures Of
the Cayuse Twins has had more re-
cognition, perhaps, than any other
Indian photograph ever taken and he
has now issued an album containing
other striking pictures. "The Last
Outpost of a Dying Race" is pictur-

landscape, suggestive In the extreme

the Moorehouse pictures attracted
