Chinese Etiuuettc,

Very curious are some of the rules
OF etiquette observed by Cinnamon.
Emile Bard, who has written n book
on the subject of Chinese life, says
that in nine cases out of ten, how
ever. the form of etiquette has re-
placed the substance. With the Chi
nese n refusal or unpleasant truth
must be expressed evasively. 1t is a
fixed rule that one must speak Of
himself and of all belonging to him
IN the humblest Of terms and use the
most exalted language in referring
to the person or property of another

Look Toward the East.

For long time 1t has been de-
clared that those whose heads point
ed toward the north while they slept
enjoyed better rest than those whose
feet were planted in that direction.
Now a savant gravely declares that
the position of ones desk largely in
fluences his capability, and that to do
ones best work the seat must face
the west.
1t is asserted in all gravity that
those who face the south lose at least
one-third Of their capability, and a
seat facing the east is only less hurt
full than one which faces the north.
The originator of the theory de-
clares that he stumbled upon the So
luton by finding himself unable to
work In a new library until the po-
s!tion Of his desk had been changed,
and that he has verified the correct
ness Of his claim by experiment with
a score OF his friends. In the course
Of time the compass will become as
essential to the landsman as to the
mariner.-New York Herald.

A Museum Record of Voices.

The British Museum is collecting
records of voices. The monographs
of the museum are designed to pre-
serve for future generations the
voices Of famous people of our time;
but the Vienna Academy of Sciences
is going further, and seeks phono-
grams of languages and dialects for
the comparative study of languages.
Already its collection includes
popular songs Of gypsies and Arab
ians, favorite airs of red Indian
tribes. the idioms of negroes and Ma
lays, and so 80. 1t is sending out
special voice hunting expeditions
every year, and its agents are now
securing Australia. Roumania. Istria
and other localities. It's latest plan
is to phonograph the voices of ami
mails for scientific study.-Exchange.

MExICO's "DEvrL TREE"
Death for All Who Rest Within It's
EatcfuI Shadow.


Because of the many fatal acci-
dents that have occurred under n
huge tree that grows in the Ha-
ciendita ranch, In the Zamora dis
trict, Michoacan, peasants Of the re-
glon are growing more and more su-
perstitious about It's supposed fatal
omen, and they begin to call 1t "ar-
Dol maldito" (cursed tree).
The tree is supposed to be over
soventy-flve years old, and is said to
have been planted by a man who,
because of his enormous crimes and
his forgetfulness of the divine law,
was swallowed up by the earth. A
pedestrian who went under II for
shade on a hot summer day was BIT
ton by snake and died in two hours
Three men, on different occasions,
sought shelter from rain under its
branches, and were struck by light
ming. A woman who was hanging
clothes to dry from the trunk of the
tree was attacked and killed by a
billy goat that came from nobody
knows where, and that was never
seen again. Two years ago a little
boy was riding a burro and inno-
Gently led his animal to the tree.
Tho burro threw him off and kicked
him to death.

After Cannon Ball.

The Delaware & Hudson Rail-
road is to acquire control of the
Wilkes Barre and Hazleton Rail-
road, the third rail road which runs
from Wilkes Barre to Hazleton,
and is something over thirty miles
in length.
The purpose of the company, it
is believed, is to build an extension
from Hazleton to its coal properties
in Schuylkill county and to con-
vert the third rail into a steam line,
thus affording means of trans
porting coal to Wilkes Barre, where
direct connection could be made
with the Pennsylvania system and
the Pennsylvania division of the
Delaware & Hudson Company.

AN HEIRESS EL0PES.

Miss Helen Maloney, daughter
of Martin Maloney, Philadelphia
millionaire, has created scandal
by e.oping with young English
man named Clarkson. They fled to
London where her father is now
looking for her. The scandal of it
is, aside from the elopement, that
she is the wife of Arthur Osborn of
Philadelphia, to whom she was
married two years ago while he was
a student at Princeton. The mar
riage was kept secret until h.I
escapade caused it to be announced.

Longest Submarine Tunnel.

Much attention has been attracted
to the opening of the new subway
tunnel under Boston Harbor. but the
longest tunnel under water is in
England. where there is a tunnel un-
der the River Severn four miles six
hundred and twenty-four yards long,
OF which two and one-half miles are
actually under water.
The proposed tunnel under the
English Channel will be twenty
three miles In length. and the latest
project Is the construction of a tun-
mel to connect France with England,
which would be thirty-three miles In
length and would lie at depth Of
five hundred feet below the bottom
of the Channel. The longest subma-
rine tunnel actually In course of con-
struction Is that connecting the
islands of Sicily with the Italian
mainland. which will be eight and
one-half miles long.

Hoods SarSapariIla
From Putnam's Monthly.
October, too7)

In all article contributed to the
October number of FHtYam'S Month";
", Cardinal Gibbons expresses in
strong terms his disapproval of the
boycott as practised by labor unions
and also urges the workingmen of
the country to avoid strikes, and
intimidation in any form. The
Cardinal says:
II am persuaded that the system
of boycotting, by which members of
labor unions are instructed not TO
patronize certain obnoxious busi.
ness houses, is not only disapproved
by an impartial public sentiment,
but that it does not coc;mend it.
self to the more thoughtful and
conservative portion of the guilds
themselves. Every man is free in
deed to select the establishment
with which he wishes to deal, and
in purchasing from one i'll prefer
ence to another he is not violating
justice. But the case is altered
when, by a mandate of the society,
lie is debarred from buying from a
particular firm. Such a prohibi'
ton assails the liberty of the pur-
chaser and the rights of the seller,
and is an unwarrantable invasion Of
the commercial privileges guaran-
teed by the government to business
concerns. If such social ostra-
cism were generally i'll vogue,
process of retaliation would natur-
ally follow, the current of mercan
tile intercourse would be checked,
every center of population would
be divided into hostile camps, and
the good feeling which ought to
prevail in every community would
be seriously impaired. Live and
let live " is wise maxim, dictated
alike by the law of trade and by
Christian charity.
Experience has shown that strikes
are drastic, aud at best very
questionable, remedy for the red
ress of the laborers' grievances,
They paralyze industry. they often
foment fierce passions, and lead to
the destruction of property and
above all they result in inflicting
grievous injury on the laborer him
self by keeping him in enforced
idleness, during which time his
mind is clouded by discomfort while
brooding over his situation, and his
family not infrequently suffer from
the want of the necessaries of life.
The loss inflicted by strikes on the
employers is not much more than
half as great as that which is sus-
tanned by the employed, who can
much less afford to bear it. 1t
would be vast stride in the inter
est OF peace, and OF the laboring
classes, if the policy of arbitration,
which is now gaining favor for the
settlement of international quarrels,
were also availed of for the adjust
ment of disputes between capital
and labor. Many blessings would
result from the adoption of this
method for while strikes, as the
name implies, are aggressive and
destructive, arbitration is concilia-
tory and constructive. The result
in the former case is determined by
the weight of the purse, in the lat
ter by the weight of the argument.

ton. But it has been found that
the general increase in prices has
affected even these immense pur-
chases. All the staple articles of
food and drink that have to be
bought are materially higher than
the department has ever had to pay
for them before. Even on the meat
bought in such quantities there was
a general advance of cent pound.
This indicates the general price sit
uation and shows why the house
holder who buys III comparatively
microscopic quantities, has to pay
such a heavy increase. The officers
of the fleet feel the added cost of
outfitting even more than the gov.
ernment. The material that the
Navy Department is laying in is
what might be called the rough
staples in the way of provisions.
Everything i'll the way of delicacies
and luxuries, the officers have to
pay for out of their own pockets,
and being bought in smaller guam
titles and privately, the added cost
is much greater.

it was announced this week that
Il new commander has been assign
ed to the Presidents yacht, the
MaVflower. She has been for two
years under command of Lieut..
Commander Long, but as he is 60
ing with the battleship squadron TO
the Pacific, a new officer had to be
assigned. He is Karl Voglesang,
who was with the Presidential par
ty on the recent trip to Panama
and who it is said made a particu-
larly good impression on the Presi-
dent then. The command of the
Mayhower is more or less a person
al appointment with the President
so it is evident that Commander
Voglesang has made a good im-
preston.
*"
1t is announced that the Navy
Department has had to send an
agent abroad to purchase White
head corpedoes owing to the fact
that the supply of torpedoes in this
country was not large enough to
meet the demand. AS matter of
fact the Department has had an
agent abroad for some months try
ing to get hold of torpedoes, but
Japan has cornered the output of
the Whitehead factory for more
than a year ahead, and this gov
ernment will have to be satisfied
with whatever it can pick up. But
it is announced that the Newport
station will be turning them out in
little while and this will assure
us of a supply that cannot be cor
nered by any foreign power.
