UMBRELLA AND SHOES.
Their Importance In the Eyes Of the
Indian Native.

Their Importance In the Eyes Of the
Indian Native.
India is so vast that different eti.
quotes prevail In different districts.
We have no standard etiquette, no
ropean etiquette while with Europeans.
Even a Bengalese shakes hands with q
B~engalese, speaks in English for a few
minutes and then breaks forth into the
v%ernacular. We shake hands with q
European IN parting, but by mistake
again touch the hand to the brow In a
salaam, SO we both shake hands,
salaam and do the like, and no sober
minded European ever cared for the
anomaly.
The umbrella is the emblem of royal.
ty, the sign of a rajah, so natives
generally fold their umbrellas before
a rajah and not before anybody else,
however great. It is not a part Of the
dress, but a protection from the rain
or sun, a necessary appendage, just
like the watch and chain. You might
as well ask a European to take off
his waterproof coat. A cody Is not
bound to fold his umbrella when a

mental generally closes down the um-
brella on seeing his master, whom he
considers his king. But no Indian,
however humble, ought to fold up the
umbrella, even before a magistrate, be-
III he Is neither the master Of the
humble passerby nor his superior off,
Ger, nor. Is he bound to salaam him.
But If he does, no harm. In a word,
natives generally dc the umbrella
before a master or a superior officer
and not any other citizen, however
great, and this Is no insult.
While going to see a native chief In
his palace the native visitor or official
takes off his shoes If the reception
room has a farash and the rajah is sit
ting on his musnud. But If he is re-
ceived in the drawing room, furnished
after the European style, the shoes
are allowed. In some states no ma
tives "a go to a rajah without a pu-
gree. In others the pugree is takep
of and tossed at the feet of a rajah.
It Is ridiculous in a European from
the Hindoo point Of view to order a
native to take off his shoes. This ID
what we ask nj priest to do, SO that
we may touch the dust of his feet.
A munshi when mildly rebuked by his
sahib took off his shoes, but recounted
the whole scene to his better half, say

The Bosnian Roasting Jack.

A curious variety Of the old fash
Toned roasting Jack is used by the
peasants of Bosnia and Herzegovina
when roasting sheep whole, as on the
occasion Of a wedding ceremony. One
often sees near a running stream a
long pole having one end revolving
freely in a socketed peg, while the
other, o~verhanging the water, is equip.
ped with miniature paddles. This is
the Bosnian roasting Jack. The sheep
to be cooked is impaled on the log,
a fire is lit underneath, and while
the current spins the paddles and the
pole merrily round the big joint is
cooked literally to a turn.-Wide World

Catarrh Victims Susceptible.

Catarrh Victims Susceptible.
People who have had catarrh of the
head, throat, nose or lungs are much
more liable to catch the grip than other
people.
The reason for this is that the mucous
membranes of the head, nose, throat or
lungs are injured by the catarrh and
the germs which cause the grip find
easy entrance into the system.
It is a well established fact that per-
fectly sound mucous membranes consti-
tute q barrier to the entrance of disease
germs.
The best ~precaution any one can have
against the grip is to be perfectly free
from catarrh.
Peruna a Preventive.
AS a preventive of grip, Peruna has
done a great deal of good in the world
by it's beneficial effect upon the mucous
membranes.
Catarrh has another untowardt in
fuencet to be noticed in connection with
the grip.
Victims Of catarrh who have had the
grip find themselves after the acute
stages nave passed, in very weakened
and d~eplorable conditions.
After-Efects of Grip.
The whole system is i'm
paired; the digestive organs deranged;
the circulation of the blood feeble and
irregular. All these symptoms are. pro-
duced, more or less, by the grip, and
especially in people who have had ca
tarrh previous to the grip.

It is no longer merely a theory or an
assertion hat Peruna is applicable to
such cases.
Prompt Relief.
In all Of the after-effects of the grip.
Peruna gives prompt relief. This has
been h experience of such a great
multitude of people hat Peruna has
come to be a standard remedy for these
cases.
If a person has not used Peruna to
prevent the grip, h next best thing is
to use Peruna to remove the after-ef-
fects of the grip.
A Safe, Reliable Remedy.
Even during the acute stages Of the
grip, Peruna taken in small, oft-re-
peated doses, is SO efficient that many
people use nothing else.

Hard to Determine.

"I've taken deposits over this same
counter for more years than I'd like
to own up to-" said the receiving teller
in downtown savings bank, 'and I've
made quite a study Of reading faces,
too, but just the same never can tell
by looking at q man whether he's go
ing to deposit money or draw some out.
Sometimes the shubbiest man in the
line will pull out a big wad Of bills
to deposit, while stylishly dressed wo-
man right behind him will want to
draw out couple Of dollars. 1t would
take a clairvoyant to tell what was 60
ing to happen, and just for curiosity 1
sometimes cast en- eye down the line

but it never does any good. I re-
member a very ragged man coming in
once and depositing 5000 in coin and
small bills, and right behind him was
fashionably dressed woman who de-
posted 81. I always remember this
instance, as the persons were in such

EnaIand's Great Little River.

One could hardly fancy an England
without the Thames. It is the source.
the inspiration, the participant, in so
much that distinguishes England's syl-
van beauty. In the centuries that have
lived upon its banks it has been po-
tent factor in the civilization Of this
island kingdom. It cuts in twain and
laves the burliest city in all the world,
dark mass of human structure I'M
penetrably profound. 1t rides a vast
commerce from London to the sea, and
along its jutting wharves nights are
often made darker with its tragedies.
Years agone kings and princes and the
fairest women in the land rode upon
its tide in functions Of state or In the
idle pose Of pleasure. Those were the
days Of the garlanded barge or the
hooded galley foist, which, gliding
stealthily beneath the tower portcullis,
lost another noble to the world Of poll
tics and intrigue.-From I'm Thames

Death of George Aver.

George, as we all called him, was
Just fifteen years old at the time of
his death, having been born on
August End, 1892, and died August
4th, 1907. The fact that Georges
health had never been very good and
then at the age of six years his
father was called away from him by
deaths cold hand and at twelve his
mother was claimed by death, all
combined to make us think more of
him. Since his mothers death he
with four other brothers had lived
together at the home left them by
their father and mother. George
was a good boy, always kind and
obedient and loving toward all the
family. His death seems more sad
by the fact that it is the fourth in
the home within twelve months, his
oldest brother having lost his wife
and little girl and boy in the home
inside of twelve months. George
was taken sick on the 3rd instant
with acute indigestion. Medical aid
was summoned but George con-
tinued to grow worse and worse
until Sunday the 9TH at ten o'clock
his sufferings were ended by death,
having been sick only one day and
night. We miss him very much, but
we know he is at rest in heaven. On
Monday morning last his body was
laid to rest in the cemetery at Pleas
ant Hill with his father and mother.

The Woman's Home Mission So
ciety will hold the regular monthly
meeting Tuesday afternoon at $50
o'clock, in the ladies' parlor of the
Methodist church.
There was a meeting of the anti
dispensary people here last Monday.
The object of the meeting was to or
ganize for the approaching dispen-
sary election, and committees were
appointed for the various polling pre-
cincts to get out the vote.
The Herald has been very liberal in
the use of it's space by the prohibi-
tionists, and we trust if the dispen-
sary is voted out, they will be as
earnest and enthusiastic in putting
down the illegal sale ofliquor as they
are in working for prohibition.
The editor of this newspaper has
had nothing to say as to the dispen-
sary election in this county, nor do
we expect to take any part in it one
way or the other. We are opposed to
the sale of whiskey, but as to wheth-
er conditions will be better or worse
if the dispensary is voted out is the
problem. Many of our best citizens
will vote for the dispensary because
of their experience with county pro-
hibition some years ago. All of us
will agree that the dispensary is pref
cradle to blind tigers.

One on the Boy.

When Attorney Jim Butler was
first admitted to practice, the first
case he got was in a justice court,
and unexpectedly the young attorney
found his father, Edward Butler,
summoned as a witness by the other
side. The case proceeded, and the
humorously solemn father was called
to the stand. His son took him for
examination.

Some Startling Facts.

The report to the county treasurer
of Bamberg county from the several
dispensaries for the quarter ending
July l, 1907, shows that there was q
profit to the county and school fund
to the amount of $2,289.91. This
represents the amount of profit for
three months. At the same rate the
amount for the year will be SO, ,159. "a.
The assessed value of property of
the county is So, ,729, 100000.
To replace the total income to the
county and school fund from the
several dispensaries would require q
levy of less than three and one half
mills. That is to say the amount OF
increase of taxes to the county and
school fund would be increased a
little less than IS cents on each S10O,
or less than $3.50 on each 81 100000
assessed value.
The total sales for the same quar-
ter as reported from the several dis
pensaries was 18,468.OO. At the
same rate we will spend S73.872. 90
for liquor in Bamberg county during
this present year.
Here are the facts according to
figures.
Does it pay to run our dispensaries?
No! For a net profit to our county
and school fund we get in return for
the S73, 3,872.00 expended in our county
the small sum of SO, 1884, or re-
turn of one dollar for an expenditure
of more than eight dollars.
Does it pay to run our dispensaries?
Here is another fact which the books
of our county treasurer reveals. For
the past three years there has been
an increase of sale of liquor in our
county, and for this increase of sale
there has been an increase of cost in
our criminal courts. From 1905 to
1906 the increase of cost in the crimi-
nal courts of Bamberg county was
S572.75. To increase the sale of
liquor in our county means to in
crease crime and to increase crime
means an increase in the cost of our
courts.
To suppress the sale of liquor
means to lessen crime and lessen the
cost in our criminal courts. The
above facts are all based on figures
and can be seen at any time by our
citizens at the treasurer's office.
