himself to show what an exceedingly
respectable history attaches to the
practice. Among the ancients, especial
~ In China, eating horse flesh was
general. and it was only killed in Eu-

though why horse flesh should have

practice in Germany, whore it has

When Aliens Die In Eqypt.

Under the laws of the country all
bodies must be buried within "A hours
after death. In the case of foreigners,
If relatives desire to remove the body,
it must be embalmed or first buried
for year. The process of embalming
in modern Egypt is not only very ex-
pensiye, amounting often to 81 900,
but it is undesirable. Neither is it
convenient often to bury the dead for
a year preparatory to removal. What
ever objections therefore may exist
elsewhere to the burning of the dead
so that their ashes may be transported
to their own country, they are without
much force in Egyp+ Recently a law
has been passed allowing this dispo-
sition of the dead, but as it is against
the religion OF the Mohammedans, the
government does not see its Way to
providing for the burning.

BIG CEMENT PLANT
Martinsburs Loses Great Opportunity
in New Industry.

An idea cf the immensely of the
business OF the Maryland Portland
Cement Co.'S plant at Security, this
county. where an enormous sum Of
money has been expended in locating
one of the finest plants OF the kind in
the country, is gathered from the re-
port Of a recent meeting OF the direc-
tors held in Baltimore on TueAday.
with DR.. DeCoureey Thorn as presi-
dent
1t is stated that at the meeting the
directors We're asked to each raise
$4,000 to finance the enterprise ano
that all of the directors except two
from Hagerstown came forward with
their money. Those two passed out.
The plant S to have a capacity OF
1885, 900 barrels and it is estimated
that the daily profit will be about
$500. 1t is proposed to produce ce-
ment and lay it down in Baltimore
and Washington % cents cheaper than
any competing plant in the land
The contractor who is erecting the
plant, was before the directors ana
made a statement as 10 why he was
delayed. He was to have finished by
September last and was under a PEN
atty of $500 a day ever since. That
would have run on heavily by this
time. A compromise was effected and
he escaped. He win he through in a
month now.
1t is understood that the people who
purposed erecting a cement mill below

JUST MERE PIECE OF sTEINa.
The important Part 1t Plays In
Japanese Life.

Writing from Japan, an American
says You must come here to ap-
preciate some OF the quaint customs
and u5ages which contact with other
peoples has not YET driven out. To
read about them gives you only a poor
idea For instance. did you ever know
what an important thing a piece OF
string is here2 The children, workmen
idlers, servants, all carry pieces OF
string for use in case Of emergency.
With US the emergency would arise
only when parcel had TO be done M,
but the Jap uses his piece Of string as
a first aid to the Injured, to repair
rent in his clothing. to fix broken
down jinrikisha, 10 mend tools, 10 take
measurements and In fact, the strsng
Is his universal tool chest
The queerest use to which it IS put,
according to my way of thinking, is
whea police officer arrests a man,
ties bit of string about the arrested
mans wrist and then leads him by the
loose end Of the thin hempen fetter to
the lookup. You ask Why doesn't
the Jap crook break the string and
find a gateway lie could, but he
would not. That's where his respect
for the law comes in, and the bit OF
string holds the man as securely as
though he were manacled by our own
humane chilled steel nickel-plated and
snap-locked method -

FINGERS OF VARIOUS VALUES,
Thumb Is Easily the Most important
of the Dgits.

You have only TO grasp a pen or a
tool OF some sort to realize that the
different fingers are far from having
the same value with reference to their
usefulness in performing work. Much
the most important is the thumb, for
without It prehension would be very
imperfect. The hand is no longer PIN
GERS, but merely a claw, when deprived
of the thumb. 1t may be estimated
that the thumb represents fully a
hird of the total value of the hand.
The total loss of the thumb is esti-
mated by competent authorities as Is
to 35 per cent. for the right and 10 to
Is per cent. for the left hand. except
for workers in art, when 40 to so for
the right and 25 to 40 per cent for the
left hand comes nearer the value.
The total loss of the index finger
causes an incapacity estimated at
from Is to % per cent for the right
hand and 10 to Is per cent. for the
left. The middle finger is less impor-
tant than the index. The ring finger
is least important, and the little finger
may be compared to Its neighbor ex-
cept in the professions in which it
serves as a point of support for the
hand.

He has The finest sense for almost

Bernstein is anything but practically

mystic with a sharp eye for observ-

in Paris. and of which Charles Froh-
man hats obtained the English and

The following is related by his in
Inmates as typical of Bernstein. One
morning, after having breakfasted
theatre attired in handsome suit OF
with two friends, one an art printer
the other publisher, and both very
dear to him, Bernstein came to the
dark maroon TO most minds a ma
room suit. Of course. is a badge of
eecentricity Berstein probably had
lately read OF maroon SUITS and decid- |
ed that what might today seem eccen-
tricity. in other days would denote
an elegant taste. Hence he had set
about to establish the fashion Of ma
room clothes for men, or rather had
made himself disciple
of vogue whose disappearance from
the bouleyards OF Paris sincerely |
grieved him.
Charles Frohman feels warmth of
interest in Bernstein that is only less
cordial than the attachment he feels
for the greatest of his English play
