AS ENGLISH ls>sWRITTEN.
Efforts of a Portuguese Hotel Keeper
and a Frenchnan to Use the
Language.

The publication which was once
brought out in Portugal bearing the
title English as She Is Spoke" has
for long time enjoyed Il worldwide
reputation. Tourists on the continent
of Europe sometimes come across ex-
amples of English quite as curious as
that of the Portuguese author
In the bedroom of hotel at Genoa
the following notice was found: THE
lamentations of the walters are obliged
to be made at the bureau" 1t was in
a hotel also, not church, that the
following request was made in writ
ing: Visitors are prayed into dinner
when the bell rings, that they may not
disturb the order of the service"
There is a hotel advertisement in
Calais station to the following effect:
"Quite a peculiar animation resides at
this fashionable spot of Paris. In the
rear the grand opera OF splendid ar
chitecture on one side of the Grand
Hotel, entirely made afresh and in a
more extensive way is the meeting of
all strangers of distinction" Finally,
this curious legend has recently been
seen on a notice board on garden
wall in Jersey, one of the Channel
islands: "Any dog found in this gar
den the proprietors of the dog paid
one pound sterling for each times"

about some new tools. Couldn't you

Of to Grantham? Let's go and do a

New York City, Jan. ~.
My Dear Billy: Thank you ever sc
much for the photos, which look sc
nice in my book. The one of you with
the puppies isn't half good enough
though.
OF course I'll never say word
about what you told me regarding
Mollie. l am so sorry about it, and
was awfuliy surprised, too, at her
engagement. I never met her fiance
but Maude told me he was exactly like
q pink soap baby"
Well there's no accounting for
tastes, but personally l can't under
stand anyone preferring a creature
like that to a manly man.
Oh, by the way, what do you think,
the other day at the Fitzhugh's par
ty, l met a Mr.. Harry Grantham
who was at the academy with you and
Sid He was SO interesting, and has
asked Maude and me to tea at his
rooms next Saturday. l remain, your
affectionate and sympathetic cousin,
MADGE.
P. 81 am glad you think so.

New Haven, conn, Jan. II.
My Dear Madge: Thanks ever SO
much for your letter. You are about
as nice a little cousin as any fellow
could have, and better than a sister.
They are beyond my ken personally
but men l know, who have them,
say they're always giving a fellow
away before other girls, but 1 could
trust you with anything.
But, I say Madgie, there's some
thing else l want to speak to you
about-and that's Harry Grantham.
He was at school with us, but neither
Of US was at all chummy with him.
and nobody thought he was very great
shakes In fact he is not fellow
I should care for you to know well.
So no teas at his rooms, Madgie,
please, you must promise me this.
If you'd got a brother, he'd put his
foot down at once about it. Uncle
Fred is SO busy plugging away at his
old books he doesn't half know how
to look after you girls. Grantham is
Just the sort of fellow who, if you
gave him an inch Of encouragement,

sance. You take it from me. re-
main, your affectionate cousin,

rHosh EXTENDED FINGERS
Popd liar Misconception of Long
I Standing at Last Cleared
Up

A social philosopher has discovered
that an act very commonly regarded
as an affectation of gentility, as found
in the manner of holding a drinking
glass when drinking from it, is not
an affectation at all but really an I'M
conscious automatic act, says the New
York Sun.
This supposed affectation consists in
extending the third and fourth fin
gers of the hand clear of the glass
when it is lifted and tipped forward
with it's brim to the lips and while
the glass is held there in the act of
drinking. No doubt it would common
ly be considered that people do this
for the sake of greater elegance. or
at least from an instructive desire to
give to the hand such an appearance,
which it would not possess if they
closed the entire hand around the
glass--if they clutched it, SO to speak,
manner of holding that would seem
to SAVIOR of rudeness.
But this observers says that really
people hold those two fingers clear of
the glass in drinking because that is
the way that is most convenient If,
he says. a person should grasp the
glass with the whole hand closed snug
ly around it he would find that the
act of tipping the glass so held re-
quired more muscular effort, for the
muscles extending from all the fin
gers would then be called into use
| Whereas if the person drinking holds
the glass between the thumb and the
first two fingers he not only relieves
entirely the tension on the muscles
of the two other fingers. but also in a
way he pivots the glass and makes it
easier to tip on that account. Thus
the separation of the two fingers from
the glass is perfectly natural act
This philosopher comedies that the
act may be exaggerated; that fingers
thus extended might even be seen
raised and extended more than was
really comfortable for the better dis
play of rings adjoining them, and he
comedies that sometimes when we see
eur fingers thus raised as we lift our
glass. in clear view of ALL we may
seek to crook the fingers in attitudes
or curves of greater grace, and so he
comedies that in some cases the rails
ing of the fingers in lifting the glass
may show affectation in some meas
ure; but his point is that in its origi-
nal inception and in it's practice by
| the many the elevation of these two
fingers is not an affectation, but an act
quite unconscious and automatic.

DENTIST Mot owner of Tooth.

At Gera, in central Germany, a gen.
tleman who had been suffering from
toothache made up his mind to have
a tooth out. The stump proved diff
cult one to draw, and when it was
taken out was of such curious
shape that the dentist declared
that he would keep it as curl
osity His patient thought he
would like to keep it himself, and
claimed it; but the dentist, on the
ground that a tooth, when drawn with
the free consent of a patient, is owner
less property as soon as it leaves the
jaw, refused to give it up. The patient
entered an action against the dentist,
who has had to deliver uD the molar.

The evil effects that follow many dis

IN A HAUNTED CHAMBER.
of an English Buffers Fat
Calves.

This, relates the NeW York Sun, is tho
tale she brought home of the haunted
chamber of the English country house:
ct was late in November" she said,
when went to stop for few days
with Lady G., in Kent. The Pines
was a renowned old place both for hos
pitality and picturesqueness.
The house, a tWoStOry rambling
structure which stood in among tho
great pine trees and was almost covered
with ivy, was haunted, so every one
said. Two little girls had been brutally
murdered some hundred years before;
their cries could be heard at twilight,
and sometimes the little figures were
seen in the library, also hurrying
through the corridors
The servants were afraid to pass the
library at that hour. AS l am not a
nervous person, had no fear, although
Esther had told some thrilling tales as
she combed my hair in the morning.
1T happened on this particular after
noon OF which | am writing that Lady
G. took her guests out riding
pleaded headache do not ride-as
had some important letters to write
and it seemed the only opportunity. The
letters written, l sank into one of those
great-grandfather chairs to doze.
"a splendid log fire burned on the
hearth, and the cracking sparks chased
each other up the wide old chimney
The weather was quite chilly, and the
evenings closed in early at this time Of
year. l lost myself in Sunderland
Presently, for it seemed only mo-
ment since sat down, awoke with the
terrible feeling of some unknown pres
ence being near. The room was almost
dark. A few embers still glowed on the
hearth and shed faint light.
Il pluckily peeped through my half
closed lids, for, really, l was afraid to
open my eyes, truly afraid-of what?
knew not. Esther's stories seemed to
burn themselves into my brain in an in
slant.
cat this moment I discerned two
little figures dressed in white fitting
across the room. The spirits!'
thought Unable to bear the agony
any longer, l screamed.
Pardon, num-, said Simmonds,
the butler, I am just going to light
the lamps. l have brought the after
noon tea
Nov l understood the situation
perfectly. SimEonds' white silk
stockinged calves were the figures

tea things down, and thus ends my
belief in the tales Of haunted houses"

HIS LETTER TO HER.
New Haven, Conn, Jan.

New Haven, Conn, Jan. Is.
My Dear Madge: Here are the
snapshots l promised you. l devel-
oped them the day l got back. ] hope
you are all right. 1 enjoyed my holi-
day at Christmas very much, thanks
to your keeping things lively all the
time. The only part didn't like was
being chaffed about Mollie's engage
ment. Of course l laughed and tried
to take no notice, but 1 did mind.
Especially mothers saying that she
thought 1 was so devoted to Mollie,
and wondered I took it so calmly.
So I was, and so l am now, and I'd
give anything to see that fellow out
of the way.
The other day I was reading one of
her letters through, and l must say
1 blame her little Anyone would
say if they read them that she not
only encouraged me, but led me dis
tinctly to understand that she cared
about me. I am sure all her people
thought so too for l was the first to
be told of her engagement.
Although l care so awfully for that
girl, | think she has treated me rather
badly. Sid always said she was flirt,
but didn't think so. However, it's
all over now. "Once hit, twice shy
is my motto, and I shall never give
myself the chance of loving another
girl. I don't know why l am telling
all this, but l know you were an ad-
mirer of Mollie's too, and then you're
so jolly sympathetic, and always seem
to understand a fellow.
Sid told me that last year, before
I went to Bar Harbor, he and Mollie
used to have long talks on the beach,
but she always led the conversation
round to me, and seemed very keen
en- my going down there.
shall almost hate to meet her if
we go down there this summer.
You're coming though, aren't you?
Uncle Fred said something about TAX
ing the cottage next ours.
I'd better shut up now. The one
thing l ask you, Madgie, is please,
please don't say anything about this
to anybody. Sid is the only one who
knows. Believe me, your affectionate
cousin,
BILL TREVOR.

Dear Bill: / think it is perfectly
horrid of you to write to me like
that. You might know your little
cousin better than to think she would

if she didn't want them to. And l
don't see what right you have to inter
fere in my arrangements, and I'm very
glad l haven't got a brother if they
are so stuffy and disagreeable, and as
far as going to tea at peoples rooms
are concerned, why, Mollie used to be-
fore she was engaged. she often told
me what fun she had at Harvard, so sure
ly if she did-well, I shall write and ac-
cept Mr.. Grantham's invitation to-mor-
row Your affectionate cousin,

Edulterated Oil.

Hitherto cotton seed oil, both the
summer and winter grades, hes been
regarded as the cheapest possible oil
used for purposes of God, but unscrupu-
lous manufacturers and dealers saw a
way of doubling profits by the use of
corn oil and eagerly grasped the OPP
portunity. 1t was declared that prac-
tically all of the cheaper and medium
grades of what is sold as salad oil or
olive oil now on the market is COM
posed of cotton seed oil as the base
and adulterated with from 25 per cent
to SO per cent. of corn oil.
