Eating snails.

\. Four Rrltons ate snails at French
Restaurant in Brighton, England, not
long ago. Their experiences are de
scribed as follows: I'm due course the
plates appeared, each bearing half a
dozen snail shells of dlngy white. A
slender two pronged fork accompanied
each dish. With this the snails were
jerked ont, their big black horns COM
ing first, accompanied by small erup-
tion of gravy. One of the experlmenters
looked critically at the uninviting OBJ
ject at the end of his fork, then he shut
his eyes and popped it into his mouth.
His teeth met on something yielding,
but tough, rather suggestive of india
rubber. All four epicures manfully ate
their six snails."

Boston's Name.

Boston owes its name to Roman
Catholic saint. Early in the seventh
century Catholic monk named Bo-
tolph founded a church in what is now
Lincolnshire, England.
AS the years went by a town grew
up around the church and was calico
Botolphstown. This was shortened for
convenience into Botolphston, then to
BotostQn and finally to Boston. John
Cotton came to America from that
town and named the New England
capital after his native village.

The action of yeast on dough con-
verts some of the starch into sugar.
Then the sugar is made into carbonic
acid gas and alcohol. When the dough

Nowadays "the LeVant'' means solely
the eastern Mediterranean region. But
it really signifies the east in a general
sense-the region of the rising sun, in
fact-being derived from the French
lever to rise. BY the high Levant'
Bacon meant the far east. In the
eighteenth century Chambers Eneyclo-
pedia explained that "Levant' applied
to any country to the eastward Of one,
and In this sense Evelyn wrote Of
more Levantine parts than Italy"
"Levant," indeed, was interchangeable
with orient" just as ''ponent" was
with 'occident." So we find Milton
writing of "Levant' and 'Ponent'
minds.-London Chronicle.

objection that Huldah, the new kitchen

good old custom of her own girlhood,
Its going to be pretty cold tonight.

yes. ma'am,' said Huldah, in mild
and expressionless assent.

from care, secure in the belief that the
maid was comfortable. In the morn

1t Paws to BE AminhIe.

A young man in the necl1Wear de-
partment of Marshall Field & Co., who
had been with the firm but a short
time, was one day waiting on a GUS
toner who seemed to be unusually
hard to please. The would-be pur-
chaser, who was a handsome, elderly
man, tossed the ties about and seemed
to desire any shade and style save
those offered for his approval. The
salesman patiently displayed a varied
assortment Of the goods, deftly knot
ting the ties and holding them out
to show the effect and the simmer
Of the satin or silk, searching through
boxes for the desired colors, and, in
spite Of the somewhat captious man
ner of the customer, never for mo-
ment lost his smiling good nature.
Finally a half dozen ties were selected,
and, with waving pencil, the clerk
asked the usual question:
"Cash or charge"
Charge" replied the gray-haired
man.
what name, please|
Marshall Field"
The new salesman almost gasped
with establishment, and he probably
does not know to this day that bis
subsequent promotion was owing to his
sincere poIiteness and patient endeaVor
to serve his employer and to please
his customer, who, of course, in this
case proved to be one and the same

a Curious Rarrr.

Captain Hambro, while travelling
among the KAYAKS of Turkestan, dis
covered a curious way of taking
heavily laden boat across a broad
river The method consisted in piling
up the boat as full as it would hold
without sinking of all the persons and
all their baggage that it was desired
to take across. Then the boat was
launched. There were no oars and no
sails. The motive power was supplied
by the horses, the cattle, the sheep and
the goats of the nOmadic and pastoral
people swimming in front and along
side, and so by degrees that were far
more slow than they were sure towing
the boat to the other side. In one in
stance which Captain Hambro men
tons the river that party crossed in
this manner was 200 yards wide.

POIiteness Paws,

Virtue is not to be measured by os-
tentatious giving. There is frequently
more real love for humanity in the
soul of the man who removes the
banana skin from the pavement than
ia the heart of the donor of the me-
mortal window in the church. Polite
ness, like all other faults and virtues,
may become habitual. It is surprising
how many small acts Of kindness, how
many little deeds of helpfulness, one
may do in the course of a day when
there are inclination to be kind and
lookout kept for the opportunity One
may set out with this intention in the
morning, and the footing up at night
not to others, but to ones own secret
conscience-will be cheering and en-
couraging.
