TIPPING IN BOHEMIA.

In the city of Prague a tip to the
tramway conductor is considered de
rigueur. The orthodox tip consists of
but two heller or two-tenths of a penny,
yet as "strap hanging" is allowed for
in considering the carrying capacity of
the car the conductors should have got
a goodly pocketful of the minimum coin
by the days end
Tipping, is was escertained in another
of Bohemia's larger towns, is so fully
recognized that the head waiter at a
cafe pays a rent for his post, supplies
all the journals for the coffee room and
looks after the other walters, and then
makes an income larger than that of a
university professor-all out of his tips.
After supper at one of the delightful
open air cafes of the capital it was
found that approximately one should
give half krone (fvepence) to the head
waiter who took payment. twopence to
the under waiter who brought the viands,
and half penny to the boy who brought
and even brought again as one glass
was fnished-the beer.-London Chron-

Siberian Bread That Makes You Drunk

Since you don't live in Siberia you
need not be afraid, says NJ. Marion, n
Russian to get drunk through eating
ordinary bread. A hardened hobo would,
on the other hand, think that Providence
had played him a nasty trick i'll not al
lowing him first to see the light of day in
Siberia.
In far eastern Russia. in that region
which lies between the sea and the river
called Mssuri. the humidity of the eli
mate, as we'll as of the SOIL is remark
able Vegetation is here distinguished
for its wondrous exuberance, to such an
extent that the soil never dries up. The
result is that the inhabitants, in order
to prevent putrefaction of the roots. SOW
their corn upon series of layers of the
soil. Nevertheless, in certain districts
the humidity is SO intense that there
grows upon the ears of corn kind of
fungus matter made up of microfungi.
As result of this sporadic excres-
cence. the bread made from the corn
in question gives all the results of an
overdose of alcohol. In very humid eli
mates the phenomenon is likewise
known. though to nothing like the extent
of eastern Siberia, where whole districts
are affected by this strange kind of al

Surprised the ParSon.

In logging camp a few years ago a
man called Peter Grimes was accident
ally killed and his widow was left in
rather poor circumstances.
Joseph Breed, a particular friend of
the unfortunate man, being somewhat OF
a carpenter, decided to make Grimes
coffin, and so cut down the funeral ex-
penses. He told the widow of his in
tention, and also of carving the name
and age of her late husband on the lid
but he was rather worried when he
found that the age was % years.
II am awfully sorry, Mrs. Grimes,
said Joe, but l never could cut fig
ure g."
That's too bad replied Mrs. Grimes;
then, as happy thought came to her.
she asked him if he could cut fig
ure Z.
Yes, can cut a frst-rate figure 4"
"Well, then, why not cut four rs!
Everybody knows four rs are 81"
So the following day Joe completed
the coffin as she suggested.
The day of the funeral came, and the
clergyman was reading the service over
the body, and had arrived at that part
where he was saying:
"Our dearly beloved brother, who de-
parted this life, at the ,-ge Of"
Here he glanced at the coffin lid for
reference, and. his eyes lighting on Joe,s
row of four rs, he gave gasp and,
with startled look in his eyes. ex-
claimed:

THREE CURES OF ECZEMA.

BILE Suffering-TvO Babies Also

''My brother had eczema three diff
ferent summers. Each summer it came
out between his shoulders and down
his back, and he said his suffering
was terrible. When it came on the
third summer, he bought a box Of
Cuticura Ointment and gave it a faith
full trial. Soon he began to feel better
and he cured himself entirely of &C.
Zema with Cuticura. A lady in In
diana heard of how my daughter,
Mrs. Miller, had cured her little son Of
terrible eczema by the Cuticura Rem

eczema SO badly that they thought they
would lose it. She used Cuticura Rem

small quantity of American food stuffs

HOW INVENTIONS WERE STOLEN.
Precautions Taken Before Days of Pat
ents to Preserve Trade Secrets.

ents to Preserve Trade Secrets.
Before patents were granted for in
ventions. the inventor had but one way
to secure a return from his invention.
That was to keep it secret.
Secret inventions were the most val
liable possessions of many families and
guilds. But in proportion to their value,
they tempted cupidity of competitors.
The secret of making Venetian glass
was greatly priced and was most jeal-
ously guarded. A Venetian named Pao-
Ii. who possessed the secret, left Venice
and wandered northward practising his
art. He was stabbed in Normandy with
Il dagger marked ''Traitor'-a measure
taken to preserve the secret.
In ITO the elector of SaNony learned
that a man named Bottger had discov-
cred the secret of making porcelain. He
accordingly confined him in the castle
Of Albrechtsburg until the discovery had
been perfected. The workmen We're
sworn to secrecy, and the drawbridge
was kept up except to admit those spe-
cially authorized. Thus was the manu-
facture of the famous Dresden ware be-
gun. The secret was soon carried to
Vienna. where royal factory was es-
tablished, and to France, where it was
the foundation of the manufacture of
the famous Sevres pottery.
The stealing of the secret of making
''cast steel is an interesting example
A matchmaker named Huntsman was
dissatisfied with the watch springs the
market afforded, and in 1850 conceived
that if he could cast the steel into ali
ingot, springs made from it would be
more homogeneous. His conception was
successfully carried out, and a large
market was established for Hunts
mans ingots." Large works with tall
chimneys We're soon built
Every effort was made to keep the
secret. Ne one was admitted to the
works. The process was divided, and
persons working on each part were kept
in ignorance of other parts of the work.
One bitter winter night man, dressed
as a farm laborer, came to the door APP
parently in an exhausted condition and
asked admittance. The foreman, de-
ceived by his appearance into thinking
the man was incapable of understand
ing what he would see, let him in.
The man dropped down in sight of
the furnaces and seemed to sleep.
Through furtively opened eyes he saw
the workman cut bars of steel into bits
and depositing them into crucibles, put
the crucibles in furnaces and urged the
fires to the highest pitch. The workmen
had to protect themselves from the heat
by wet cloths. Finally the steel melted,
he saw the crucibles were withdrawn
and the steel was cast into molds-and
the secret was a secret no longer

MOTHER AND CHILD.

Both Fully Nourished on Grape-NutS.
The value of this famous food is
shown in many ways, in addition to
what might be expected from it's chem1-
cal analysis.
Grape Nuts food is made of whole
wheat and barley, is thoroughly baked
for many hours and contains all the
wholesome ingredients in these cereals.
It contains also the phosphate OF pot
ash grown in the grains, which Nature
uses to build up brain and nerve cells.
Young children require proportion
ately more of this element because the
brain and nervous system of the chlld
grows so rapidly.
Va. mother found the value or
Grape Nuts in not only building up her

Want to Sell by Tons.

Consul Nash of Venice has been inves-
tieating the way in which certain Amer
lean products reach Italy, and has Sc
cured interesting data.
''Tinned goods and manufactured food
products generally" he states, ''for
which an especially good market could
be made here, are shipped from New
York by exporting houses to importers at
Genoa. whence they are reshipped TO
wholesale dealers i'll Milan, where they
are finally bought by Venetian retailers.
This means that five profits. including
those of the producer and retailer. are
made on each article. Is it surprising.
under these circumstances. that the
prices retailers are obliged to ask here
should result in limiting their sales?

oBED1ENT MOORISH CHILDREN
Show Great Respect for Parents-Their
Training.

A French lady, Mile. Mathilde Zeys,
has recently visited Morocco. and at the
present moment Parisians are deriving
instruction and entertainment from her
work, "Une Franchise au Marco Chill
dren IN Morocco, she tells us, are brought
up to show the greatest respect and def
erence to their parents. A Moorish child
never enters his fathers presence unless
called. lie kisses his fathers hand and
similarly greets any friends who may be
there.
Only on rare occasions does he take
ms meals with his parents. AS a rule
the enid has but one dish, which is sent
OUTSIDE to HIM after the parents meal.
Although the discipline seems severe,
MOORISH parents love their children dear
~, and 1t is a pretty sight to see a
sWarthy Arab with rugged~features play
ing with his children in front of his
mouse. The girls have a monotonous
time, spent at their mothers side
At the age of the father takes his
little son to school He carries with him
a present to the master, or "fokih," and
some sweetmeats to cheer up the little
chap for the first few days. At the end
OF the first week the parents give par
ty to signalize the boys entry to school,
have half holiday for the occasion, are
invited.
The learning from our standpoint is
hardly worthy the name, and if little
Moor does not show aptitude for study
the parents soon take him away from
school and put him to trade. Still ev-
cry boy is supposed to read and write.
Study, such as it is, is literary, rather
than scientific. Moorish scientific ideas
are not only antiquated, but often false.
Religious scruples forbid deep study in
chemistry and natural philosophy. Medi-
cine is only in a most rudimentary state.
The study of anatomy is forbidden by re-
ligion and the Moorish surgeon is often
the barber.-London Globe.
