Curious Greetinqs.

A French journal has been looking
into the question OF how different races
express the colloquialism How do you
do?" and presents some curious exam
pies. The Koreans. for instance, do
not give or imply any offense when
they greet each other with the remark,
you do look old" Persians say. May
Allah preserve your beard and cover
it with benedictions." Among a tribe
of Fiji islanders the correct form Of
salutation is to pull ones ear. A Caro-
line islander knecls before his friend,
whose foot he graSps and slaps himself
vigorously in the face with it. In the
Sudan a traveller was addressed by q
native chief as Mighty SUM-" the said
chief finishing up with GLORY to thee.

accentuated by eXpectorating in the

A Talent For Balancing.

The pleasant coffee room of the old
Star and Garter at Richmond, which
was burned down in 1869, was patron
lied by Englands statesmen, politicians
and writer's. On Saturday evenings 1t
was regularly visited by middle aged
gentleman of rather broad stature,
with gray hair and a large shirt collar
which formed a conspicuous feature in
his attire. He would dine always
alone at Il particular corner table, and
after dinner it was his humor to build
up before him pyramid of tumblers
and wineglasses. which he topped with
Il decanter Occasionally the whole
structure would topple over and litter
the table with it's ruins Then the mid
die aged gentleman would rise. pay
his bill. including the charge for
broken glass, and depart. The walters
knew him we'll. He was Thomas Bab-
ington, Lord Macaulay.

Greatness.

There is Il kind of elevation which
does not depend on fortune. 1t is a
certain air which distinguishes us and
seems to destine us for great things
1t is Il price which we imperceptibly
set on ourselves. BY this quality we
usurp the Difference Of other men, and
it puts us, in general, more above them
than birth. dignity or even merit itself.

STAbb|NG AFFRAY { OVER BLACK GIRL

WlNsLOW, Ariz., May l3.-In fiji of jealous rage, owing to the atten
 ton paid by one Asiano Romero. a Mex ican, to Viola Williams, colored, a deni zen of the tendcrloin district, Arthur Daniels, also colored, stabbed and prob ably fatally wounded Romero in a Mex ican saloon late last Sunday evening. It appears that these two men have each been paying attention to the same woman for some time past and bad blood had sprung up between them. which, according to others of the red light district, was in danger of causing trouble at any time. Sunday evening the men met in the saloon of J. !. Rubi and, after a wordy wrangle. fighting started. It was during the fight that Daniels drew the knife. and stabbed Romero, the blade entering under the left shoulder and penetrating the left lung. Romero, after being stabbed. made his way to the Wigwam restau- rant, where his condition was first noted, and patron of the place called Tn Dr. C. l.. Hathaway. Tho doctor after a hurried examination, had the man taken to the hospital, where a more thorough examination was made and the seriousness of the wound disclosed.
 Romero's condition later seemed to be improving and unless further com. plieatiops arise, the physicians claim that he will recover.

BURGLARS BUSY
 IN OLD PUEBLO
THREE PLACES IN CITY ENTERED IN THE NIGHT BY THIEVES
 MAKE SMALL PROFITS.

TUCSON, May l3.-Burglars last night entered three places in Tucson and secured booty valued at several hun. dred dollars. They were Sally Fiber s store on South Meyer street, the Tucson Laundry company's building on North Main street, and the Pedro P. Lopez carpenter shop on North Seventh ave nue.
 The biggest haul was made in the robbery of the Fiber store. The thieves forced an entrance into the place through a rear door and carried away goods worth about $200.
 At the Lopez carpenter shop they secured number of tools which were valued at about $50.
 The smallest haul was made at the laundry office. The rear door of the laundry had been left open and the thieves found no difficulty in entering. Outside, however, they encountered a vicious bulldog They beat the dog into insensibility with clubs and then pro. ceeded with their work. They forced open several drawers in the office. but secured nothing of value in them.
 Then they rifed the gas meter and secured one lone quarter. About three weeks ago thieves entered the laundry and stole about s25 from the cash till.
