CH ZAP RATE VICTIMS.

Every reduction in steeragc rates is responsible for lot of dead-brole Americans floating around in the streets of Rotterdam and other steamship lines" said an old trav- eler. An exodus of impecunious young men afflicted with wanderlust is always feature of these compe- titions in rates. The notice, Twenty five dollars to Rotterdam, or any other old port appeals to their ven- turesome spirit, and many.a young- ster who cannot scrape up two dol lars above the necessary passage money and who doesn't know word of any language except English is going to take advantage of the of fer. Some of them no doubt work their way back all right, but more encounter all kinds of hardships. During every steerage war American consuls at foreign ports find enough charity work to keep them busy"

DEGREES OLD SCHOOL MANNER
According to This Woman There Is No Occasion for Regret at
 Their Passing.

"People talk about the decay of manners, but it is good thing that some manners have decayed," said woman whose memory goes back to times that other people only read of. "Old school manners in the fam fly we can very well get on without. The manners of the old school fa- ther were those of despot, gracious and benevolent in some cases, but more commonly y the reverse. The manners of the mother were those of an ambassadress, and the manners of the elder brother or elder sister were those of the head of a depart mcnt of state. These were the more important offices, and below them were sub-offices. and each one was administered with a degree of tyranny that was made endurable only by the fact that those who suf- fered could retaliate on members of the family one degree lower in rank. N hen there was no more family upon whose heads vengeance could be wreaked, the domestic regions were harassed for such opportunities for inficting suffering as they might offer. Iris distance lends enchant- ment to such manners. They would not bear close inspection"

SHE WAS GC;NG BATHING.

She was very pretty girl clad in a diaphanous summer gown. She was going to the beach and she didn't care who knew it, for she car ried her bathing suit in most primitive fashion. It was simply inclosed in bath towel, and carried by narrow strap. Shoes. stockings, powder, comb, brush, hairpins and other feminine necessities were not in evidence. Perhaps she dispensed with them. Anyway, she reused the curiosity of ear full of people.

BIRDS THE FIRST TO STAND
The Only Lower Creation of Nature That HabituaIIy Does So, Ae-
 cording to Scientists.

And let us note that the art of standing began with birds. Frogs sit, and as far as 1 know every rep tile, be it lizard, crocodile, alligator or tortoise, l2ys its body on the ground when not actually carrying it. And these have each four fat legs. Contrast the famingo, which, having only two, and those like will low wands, tucks up one of them and sleeps poised high on the other, like tulip on its stem.
 Note also that one toe has been altogether discarded by birds as superfuous. The germ, or bud, must be there. for the Dorking fowl has produced a fifth toe under some in- fluence of the poultry yard, but no natural bird has more than four
 Except in swifts, which never perch, but cling to rocks and walls, one Is turned backward, and by a cunning contrivance the act of bend- ing the leg draws them all auto- matically together So hen closes its toes at every step it takes, as if it grasped something and of course when it settles down on its roost they grasp that tight and hold it fast till morning.
 But to birds that do not perch this mechanism is only an cncum- brance, so many of them, like he plovers, abolish the hind toe entire ly, and the prince of all two legged runners, the ostrich, has got rid of one of the front toes also, retaining only two.-Strand Magazine.

The feature of today was the 100
