rived for little Elise from her devoted
grandparent, whose eye had sur
rendered to this bit Of baby apparel

THAT hat is too extravagant for this
family, remarked the young mother.
"I'll take 1t back and see what I can
do"
A few days later the grandfather
called to see the baby In the new hat

he said. "And how did you like itT'
Every much, father, thank you. They

INDIAN ETIQUETrE Is aURER.

India Is SO vast that dinerent cti-
quettes prevail In different districts,
We have no standard etiquette, no
standard dress. We mostly copy Enro-
pean etiquette while with Europeans
Even Bengali snakes hands with a
Bengal, speaks IN English for q few
minutes and then breaks forth into tile
vernacular. We shake hands with d
European on parting, but By mistake
again touch the hand to the brow IN q
saiaam, 50 we both shake hands, sa-
laan and do the like, ana no sober
minded European ever cared for the
anomaly.
The umbrella Is the emblem OF roy
atty, the sign of rajah. So natives
generally fold their umbrellas before
rajah and not before anybody else.

dress but protection from the rain
or the sun, necessary appeHdage, just
Ike the watch and chain. You might
as well ask European to take of his
waterproof coat. A coolie is not bound
to fold his umbrella when d brigadier
general rides past. But mental gen
orally closes down the umbrella on see
ing his master, whom he considers his
king. But no Indian, however hum
Bile, ought to fold up the umbrella,
even before magistrate, because he

does, no harm. In word, natives
generally fold the umbrella before

this IS no insult

his palace the native visitor or official
takes OF his shoes IL the reception
room has farash and the rajah is sit

after the European style, the shoes are
allowed. In some states no natives
can 60 to rajah without a pugree. In
others the pugree Is taken Off and toss
ed at the feet Of the rajah.
It is ridiculous in European (from
the Hindu point of view to order
native to take off his shoes. This ia
what we ask our priest to do, 50 that
we may touch the dust Of his feet. A
munshi when mildly rebuked BY his
sahib took off his shoes, but recounted

American Chemical Society recently,

OF the Immense contributions OF chem

Only little while ago the mineral

OF tantalite year. This does not seem
very great quantity, but it Is to DO

Politics An Dora omtte Life,

A story 10 told Of 4 Bradford County
politician (the sharp and shifty kindly
who was urged by his wife to hoe the
garden. He couldn't think Of any very
good reason, 30 he went 1T it. Soon
he came In with a silver quarter he
said he had found. He washed It, put
it In his pocket and went back. In a
few minutes he showed up with a1lother
coin, this time half dollar. He said
there must be buried treasure In that
garden. He unearthed couple Of
dimes and another quarter Being
very tired, he announced his intention
of taking nap, and duly went to sleep.
When he awoke his wife had a danger

Value OF Eucalyptus OIL,

The Department of Agriculture has
issued bulletin in which it says that
eucalyptus oil is 50 useful and popular
information concerning it Is so meager
that few words concerning it will not
be out Of place. This oil has been used
for about forty years, but only during
the past ten years has it been employed
In medicine very extensively. Its use
Is now constantly increasing as it's prop
critics and medicinal value become bet
ter known.
The fact that it is non-poisonous and
non-irritant makes it especially safe
and valuable. AS much Of it as a
fourth Of an ounce has been taken in
ternally without injury and it may be
freely applied to the most delicate It's
sue. Notwithstanding the fact that It
Is neither dangerously poisonous nor
irritating to the human system, it Is a
very effective antiseptic and disinfect-
ant and has come to be used quite ex-
tensively for dressing wounds, ulcers
and other diseased tissues. It enters
into the composition Of several antisep
tic preparations.
The oil is also a we'll known remedy
for malarial and other fevers and is
used in treating diseases of the hair and
skin and Of the stomach. kidneys and
bladder, and is especially valuable for
affections OF the throat, bronchi and
lungs.

Goodbye, EucRid.

Within the last few years a revolu-
ton has been accomplished at Oxford
which ought really to affect the mind
of the nation more than the difference
between Lord Curzon and Lord Rose
berry. A textbook has been discarded
which was already venerable for its an
tiquity at the beginning Of the Chris
tian era. Needless TO say, we are re-
ferring to Euclid's Elements For
what other textbook ever had such a
run as that7 It has been accepted ever
since Its publication, which was In the
reign Of the first Ptolemy (B. G. 323-
1851. No writer has ever become so
identified with science az Euclid with
geometry. The nearest approaches are
to be found1in the relation OF Aristotle
to logic and of Adam Smith to politi-
cal eeonomy.--London Spectator.
