Il
One Of our young society women
has a very good -Iooking husband, Of
whom she is most proud. Having
noticed that this gentleman was pay
ing marked attention to a lady. In
her own set she kept a careful watch
and was fortunate enough to discov-
er among her husbands papers a
number of letters written by the said
lady.
She then reflected as to what
course she should pursue. She
thought long and at last hit upon a
strange plan.
From among the correspondence
the lady selected four letters, pasted
them on the back of her fan. and
then accompanied her husband to a
dinner where she knew she would
meet her rival. 1t was not long be-
fore the fan attracted the attention
of the guests, who asked to be all
lowed TO look at it.
: The fan. then passed from hand
to hand, and when it reached the
rival she turned crimson and under
the pretext of a sudden indisposition
Withdrew hastily. FROM the Gentle

Trawlers and Cables.

In connection with the damage
which is repeatedly being caused to
the cables of the Commercial Cable
Company Off the Irish coast by Brit
ish trawlers. letter written by Mr..
Clarence H. Mackay to the United
States Secretary Of State shows the
cost and trouble to which the COM
pany is put in order to maintain its
service unimpaired During the
past three months" he says, "our
cables have been injured and broken
two and three at a time by these
fishing trawlers at a distance of about
fifty miles from the Irish coast. We
have expended over $4,000 already
this year in making repairs to our
cables OF the Irish coast. and each
and every one Of the Interruptions
has been due to these fishing trawl-
ers. The injury to us is not
only the enormous expense OF repairs,
but also the necessity OF refusing to
accept business from the public for
transmission. The trouble
Is that it is impossible in most in
stances to find out who the guilty
party is, and even after that is found
out, 1t is almost impossible to obtain
proof that the injury was wilful.

The Expert Shoemaker.

The expert shoemaker is in his
way sort Of Sherlock Holmes; he
can tell by looking at a customers
shoes something about where the
customer lives, and this not by mud
on the shoes or the absence of it.,
or any such commonplace evidence
as that, but by the manner in which
the shoes show wear. But he Is not
infallible
Here, for instance, Is woman who
wears the soles of her shoes very thin
up at their forward end, at their
very tips, there. at the toe; and to
her:
"You live in the country" says
the shoe expert.
No says the woman, Il live in
the city. Why did you think lived
in the country"
Because your shoes are worn so
at the toes. ! thought you walked
ON macadam roads,
So here the expert slipped, mis-
led in this case by not making due
allowance for habit of these shoes
wearer; but usually he can tell

no Cripnle The Ghost.

This curious bit of Dalmatian SUI
perstition turned up in recent trial
at Trieste: Antonio Iago. a widow,
was accused of mutilating a corpse,
and also with disturbing the repose
of the dead, by severing the sinews
in the foot of Mathe Duda, deceas-
ed landowner, at Salona. near Spala-
to. In that locality exists deeply
rooted superstition that any evil-doer
will, after death, be compelled to
wander round eternally in the shape
of greatly distended spirit. to the
terror and discomfort of himself and
all beholders.
AS Duda's daughter-in-law had
reasons for fearing that he might
become a "Bukodlak," as the Dali
matian vernacular has it, she employ
ed the widow to cut the ligaments
in one foot. and thus prevent any
ghostly ramblings later Antonio,
the widow. believed absolutely in the
superstition and conscientiously earn
ed her pay.
The lower court discharged the
prisoner. because she had acted from
motives of piety: but the court of
appeal reversed the decision and SEN
fenced her to three days. imprison-

Washington, d. C.-To those who
leave their offices each noon to snatch
hasty lunch, the Government has
word of advice to offer. 1t is this:
Whenever restaurateur offers you a
cracked mug and Clipped, seamy
plate on which food is served, fee it
as you would the pestilence. In the
recesses of those cracks Turk thou
sands of bacteria, and they draw no
distinction between the millionaire
employer and his $40 week steno-
grapher.
The Bureau of Chemistry, at the
head of which is DR.. Harvey w. Wi
ley, has just concluded experiments
on cracked china utensils taken from
the lunch rooms of Washington. The
conditions they find to exist in the
restaurants here are duplicated in
every big city. In New York and Chi
cago. where trade atssquiek lunch"
establishments is much, greater, far
larger population Of. germs is be-
lieved to have taken up its abode in
the cracks and crevices of the table
service.
The examination of the chinaware
by the Government came about as a
result of crusade being waged
against unhealthful kitchens and
serving rooms in the District of Col
umbia. With the approval of Secre-
tary. Wilson and DR.. Wiley the Gov
eminent chemists were turned loose
on the trail. They discovered mill
ions of germs in the cracks.
DR.. George w. Stiles, bacteriologil
cal chemist of the department. had
charge of the tests. Several dozen
cracked mugs. plates and saucers TAX
en- at random from the counters of
lunch rooms and from the cafes of
hotels were examined. The result
was that DR.. Stiles discovered twenty
three distinct species Of organisms
lurking in the cracks and seams. In
the final test 1t was found that these
organisms ranged In number from
4S6 to 14,580,000 to every square
inch.
Nearly all of the bacteria belonged
to the family of bacillus COLI
The bacillus coli is blamed as the
cause of many inflammatory diseases,
among which is appendicitis.
Many of the other bacilli found in
the cracked chinaware are due to I'M
clean conditions. These may not be
noticeable, and the kitchens of the
lunch rooms may be clean and spot
less, but the impossibility of cleans
Ing the utensils thoroughly when they
are cracked leaves the bacilli to in
crease aud multiply.
The presence of the breeders of
disease ig just as much a menace to

to snatch a substantial meal of cocoa
and chocolate cellars as it is to the
man with the dropping mustache who
regales himself each noon on coffee
and sinkers." The bacilli are no re-
spector of persons. DR.. Stiles. in
discussing the result of his tests,
says:
This is question which must
necessarily appeal to every response
BILE individual who seriously considers
the matter of eating clean and whole
some food. When we consider the
great number and variety of organ
isms studied in relation to these
cracked mugs the question of house
hold sanitation becomes more inn
perative than ever, and study OF
the sanitary conditions in private and
public life would in many instances
furnish startling results.
Many of our hotels, public res
taurants and cafes are particular to
see that splendid serving rooms are
provided and deliberately furnished,
which from exterior appearances
seem to be all that could be desired
for the welfare and comfort of their
guests, but let one go behind the
scenes in many places and note the
changed conditions. The picture may
be entirely different from that ex-
pected.
1.-THE sanitary aspect of refrigera-
tors and iceboKes during hot weather
may develop conditions beyond hui
man liberation. Why people do not
take better care of these places of
storage is difficult to say. However,
it is regrettable factthat many such
places often contain highly objection
able material, and If not intended for
immediate use it often communicates
and ruins the entiret contents of the
icebox.
I'm concluding it seems highly de-
sirable to eliminate the use of cracked
dishes for the reception of food mate
rails. and to make an appeal for q
more careful observance of the
known hygienic measures to protect
our food from unnecessary and un.
desirable contamination
DR.. Pasquale Grille takes sharp IS
sue with DIR. Wiley. "Of course there
are germs in cracked china" he said,
''as there are in everything else in the
universe. And 1t may be that some
of these are bad instead of good. The
proportion of bad germs to good ones
is as to 1.000,000,000. The bad
germ may kill you; the good ones
may be eaten by the spoonful without
harmful results. A healthy person
will eat many billions a day, or at
single meal, without getting SO much
as suggestion Of the stomach
ache"
