Latch Key Suffrage.

Over In England the possession Of a
iatchkey has lately been held in the
courts to have an important bearing on
the electoral rights Of man claiming
to be householder With us the
iatchkey has grown SO universal as to
be no indication of mans status, or
woman's either, for that matter. Not
80 very long ago the American wom-
ans right to the latchkey was subject
Tor tocular argument pro and con, but
women's latchkeys are now as common
as mems. For an institution that dates
back only about seventy years the
iatchkey has stepped with some sud
denness into Its place of universal
uecessIty.-Boston Herald.

Where the Patch Belongs.


A New Englander recently had occa-
sion to engage gardener. One morn
ing two applicants appeared-one de-
cldedly decent looking man, and the
other of much less prepossessing ap-
pearance and manner.
After very little hesitation, the man
OF the house chose the latter appli-
cant.
A friend who was present, evlnced
surprise at the selection, asking:
"Has that man ever worked for you
befOre?"
mo-" replied the other; "in fact, l
never saw either of them until to-day"
"Then why did you choose the short
er man? The other had a much bet
ter face"
"Facew exclaimed the proprietor Of
the place, In disgust. "Let me tell you
that, when you pick out a gardener,
young want to go by his overalls. If
they're patched on the knees you want
him. If the patch is on the seat of his
trousers, you don't."-Success Maya

ETIQUETTE OF THE MosLEM.
One Must Always BE I'm Good Humoi
and Talk Pleasant Things.

One Must Always BE in Good HumOf
and Talk Pleasant Things.
Here are some interesting Mussul-
man injunctions of conviyiality. The
honor of being served first belongs to
the invited guest who is in the posses
sion of any high title or who has in
any way or sphere distinguished him
self. If the host himself is the oldest
iu the company or has any high decora-
tion of merit he must first begin the
meal without delay in order not to let
tie others unduly wait. 1t shows bad
upbrlnglng to be In melancholy mood
at table or to speak of disagreeable
things or to engage In inappropriate
discussions on matters Of religious
pIety. Foremost of all, one must al
ways be In good humor and talk Of
pleasant things as did the prophet
himself.
You must always help yourself from
the side of the dish nearest to you
and never try to find out the best bits,
which ought to be left for other guests.
If one of the invited has not much ap-
petite you must ask him up to three
times with some kind chosen words to
partake of the meals. A longer insist
ence would cause Nennui and would be
most inappropriate. You must never
stop eating before others, because In
doing so you will embarrass them and
cause them to finish quickly in imitat-
Ing you.
Never eat gluttonously, but also ney-
or attempt to conceal your good appe-
tite. Always eat little by little. Ex-
sggerated compliments are always mis-
placed. The hosts duty Is to make his
guests feel as comfortable as possible,
encouraging the timid and shy. 1t Is
contrary to good taste to address and
to fix the attention Of guest when
he Is eating. Even If the host Is not
accustomed to eat much he must al
ways try not to finish before others.
Should any dish be forbidden to him
by his medical attendant he certainly
must not partake of 1t, but must, at the
same time, excuse himself before his
guests.
1t Is absolutely necessary to avoid
every movement or gesture which is apt
to create dIsgust-London Lancet.

RECORD OF Animal Ho.pita1.

There have been nearly 5000 cases
of suffering animals, from an injured
cab horse to a consumptiye lizard,
treated at the Animals hospital in
Westminster, London, the last nine
months. One of the latest inmates Is
a 2-year-old hen, which Is suffering
from a peculiar disease In the crop.
The hen in the hospital Is the last one
of family Of nine, the others hav-
ing died from the same disease. A
unique operation Is being resorted to
by the doctor to save the hens life.
Every day a rubber tire Is inserted in
the birds mouth, and Its crop is filled
with warm water. Then the water Is
allowed to trickle out.

Hanna,s Corn Beef.

Corned beef hash as made by Sen
ator Hanna's cook was very popular
in Washington several years ago. When
the head waiter of the senate restau-
rant wanted hash prepared very care
fully he ordered 1t this way: "One
corned beef hash for Senator Hanna"
One day when the restaurant was do
ing heavy business almost everybody
seemed to want corned beef hash.
"Corned beef hash for Senator Han
ma" had been ordered fourteen times.
When the fifteenth order went down to
the kitchen the chef shouted: That's
fifteen orders for Senator Hanna He'd
better watch out or he'll founder him
self."-St Paul Pioneer Press.

tion the use Of the unwonted names,
Uriels, Raguel, Simiel,, etc. Remem-
ber that Micheal, Gabriel and Raph-
ael are the only good orthodox Epis-
copal angels. = #apt,J.
Then when you haye discovered all
the angels in the Bible, turn to
Dante, the great Italian poet. Dante
has described some beautiful angels.
There is grave and awful messenger
Iwho comes down through He'll to
open the gates Of the City Of Dis for
Dante and Virgil, and the evil souls
leap, up and scatter before him like
frogs disturbed in marsh. There are
the angels Of the "Purgatorio"-two
entrancing ones with tender green
wing-feathcrs that trail after them;
the gray angel with the sword and the
y
place Of Publication; the flaming
angel on the last terrace, who tells
Dante he must walk through the fire;
and the white angel who. used his
wings for sails, and brought the souls
over the sea in his boat. And there
are the angels Of Paradise, figures,
Of light, larting, shining. Sock pic
lures Of these too. They will be harder
to find.
Then turn to John Milton and copy
on, his dignified inhabitants of Heav-
en-. Put his Michaels and Raphaels
and Gabriels and Satans with those
you have taken from the Bible and
aid the illustrations from "Para-
disc Lost.'
And, at last, gather in the angels
from cverywhere-from all the poems
that thrill with the flutter of their
wings-from all the pictures that re-
fleet their shining glory. And thus
you will be entertaining angels not
unawares but fully awares. And it
will be good for you!
And finally some day, when our
collection has grown to goodly size,
"" will put an angel in the Charleston
Sunday News, week by week, and tell
about him. The Charleston Sunday
News is Il good paper to put angels
in.
A"d meanwhile will you help us to t
make our collection? When YOU hear |
