Some curious drinks that men call
for in saloons. says the Philadelphia
Record, were observed the other day
by q man who stood at the end of the
bar and took In everything that hap
pened. The usual WHISTLES and beers
were frequent, but he also noticed
that a number of men asked for egg
in milk and egg in sherry. "You sell
q lot Of eggs here" he observed to
the bartender. You bet we do" an

Of men drink egg drinks only. There
are several men who come in here
that order egg in beer. How they
get away with that awful mess
can't understand, but they drink II
down as though they liked it. One
man that comes in here has them all

outlandish mixtures Of stout and milk.
He's the limit for . crazy drinker,

The Cane Crop.

Louisiana Planter.
The weather we have had dur
the past week has been hot and
seasonabler and the cane, which
has almost everywhere received
its last working, is growing ex-
cellently under the influence of
the sunshine and high tempera-
ture. Some rains have fallen in
scattered portions of the sugar
district, which have been vel
coined, and those places which
have received no rainfall would
now be glad to get q good show
er. The plant cane crop is gen.
orally of q fine stand and is now
of q fine color and growing
rapidly, but is not relatively as
advanced as the stubble cane or
ration crop. The crop outlook
as q whole continues to be most
excellent.

SCHOOL HABITS IN PERSIA.
Boys Sit on Floor and Reeite Lessons
a. IL Chanting.

Oriental children have their mar
Ties. their skipping rope and the little
toy plOws into which cats and kittens
are harnessed for play. They enjoy
life fully as much as do American
children. When the boys are 10 years
old they are sent to school in the
nearest mosque. Parents will some
times take a boy to school and de-
liver him over to the gentle care OF
the teacher with these words: His
bones are mine, but his flesh is yours.
Teach him and punish him as you see
fit"
When boys 60 to school they usu-
ally sit in two rows. One row sits
along one wall, books in hand, and
the other row along the opposite wall.
the room. They do not use chairs.
but sit on the floor, which is COW
cred with a reed mating. When
they are studying their lessons they
sway their bodies backward and for
ward as if they were in a rocking
chair and read with a loud voice in
a siEgsong style as if they were chant
ing.
They have neither blackbOards nor
states. but use paper and reed pens
in learning to write. They put their
left knee On the floor and set their
right one up for a desk to rest the
paper on. They use the Arabic al
phabet and read and write from right
to left instead of from left to right.
They also begin their books at the
back, reading forward. The ability
to read a single PERSIAN book is con-
sidered in Central Asia to be the sign
Of a liberal education. The attend
ance at school is voluntary, nc one
being compelled to send his boys If
he prefers to keep them at home.

THE FIRST CURTAIN CALL.
voltaire One to Whom Original Honor
Was Paid.

At the first performance in Berlin
Of Gechart Hauptmann's "Jungfrau
Won Bischofsber4" the author was re-
peatedly called before the curtain,
and the incident caused inquiry as to
when and where the practice of honor
ing an author in that way originated.
The Berliner Tageblatt gives this an
swer: The first call took place on
the evening of February 26, 1743. On
that memorable evening Voltaire's
'Merope' was performed for the first
time in Paris. The author was known
to the Paris public, but nothing that
they had seen of him had pleased
them SO much as 'Merope.' and the en-
thusiasm found expression in noisy
demands to see the author. In a
letter Voltaire says this of the Incl
dent: They dragged me out and led
me by force to the box occupied by
the Duchesse de Villars and her
daughterin-law. The whole theater
seemed to have gone mad-all shout
ed to the duchesse to kiss me. The
noise became SO great that the lady
finally obeyed. So l was like Alain
Charter. publicly kissed, but he was
asleep, while l was wide awake Now
authors answer similar calls by ap-
pearing before the curtain. They gain
insofar that they can be seen better
by their audience. but they must dis
pense with the duchess kiss-at least
in public"

instructions to override the demurrer,
which held the complaint insufficient.
