SAVING on Drink.

That men will drink less while they
have something to look at or to listen
to is proved by the sobriety which at
tends public amusements in England.
No-consumption of alcoholic refresh
ments is allowed in the auditorium,
and It Is rare that the patrons leave
their seats for drink at the bars
indeed. many of these resorts are con
Quoted on strictly temperance lines.
At the theaters. too. the consumption
of alcoholic refreshments during the
entractes has latterly been reduced
to a minimum. Midway in the pan
tomimes. the descent OF the curtain Is
contemporaneous with the appearance
Of trim Mattresses and the tea tray.
Even in the theater bars the lords or
creation prefer the cup that cheers
to whisky and soda.

CUSTOM OF ORIENTAL NATIONS
Salute by Kissing the Foot Is as Old
as History.

The custom of kissing the feet Of
persons whom it was desired to honor
originated with the ancients. The peo-
pie of oriental nationals used to kiss
the hands and feet or hens of the
clothes of the persons they wished to
show respect for
The ancient Egyptians got this Gus
tom from the Assyrians, and later the
Greeks adopted the habit from the
Egyptians. The Romans followed the
Greeks, and then POntifeX Maximus
had his great toe kissed by celebrities
The story will be remembered OF the
Old Briton ruler who appeared to do
homage to Roman monk after the
conquest of Briton. He was told that
it was customary to kiss the foot OF
the holy father. He hesitated for
a moment and then. bending down.
he suddenly seized the monk by the
ankle and, jerking it up to his lips.
tOppled the worthy father over back

The toe of the sultan of Turkey Is
kissed by subjects of high rank. Those
of more lowly position are merely
allowed to touch the fringe of his gar
ment to their lips, and the poorest
classes must be content to make low
obeisance in his presence.-lllustrated

And once more the two men fell on

Why Ellen had not tainted at that
moment she could not tell. The world

fort she commanded herself. The bat
tie was not over, and she must see
it until the end. She had confidence
yet. My lords wound was not Sc

But no. Strathgate attacked as furl-

he was not content to parry, but he
himself assumed the offensive. Like
diamonds the points of the blades
sparkled in circles of light. The ring
of steel on steel and the grating as one
blade fell upon another blade was con
tinuous. 1t was bewildering to Ellen, be

He dropped his sword for moment

Darlington spoke now.

he said softly.
StrathgateS answer was reSump-

and direct lunge for his enemy's heart.
Darlington smiled as he parted, He
had been in some doubt as to his abil-
ity to sustain Strathgate's attack. He
was no stranger to the field of honor
but he had never faced d sword so I'M

slivered along his blade this morning.
Yet he imagined that Strathgate had

He could do no better than he had
done, and there began to come into
Darlington mind a sense of mastery.
Again he met Strathgate's furious at.

ringtOn that the onslaught was less

this was misrepresentation and the
fact that Darlington parted the Vi
