THE ETIQUETTE OF CALLING

returned very promptly-on the next reception, day of the person who has made the call. if she has a recep- tion day: and if she has none. then at any propitiOus time within a week or fortnight After this polite ex- change of civilities. a longer period between visits may be allowed to lapse. Calls of coincidence and con graduation should be made as soon as possible.
 The majority of calls between wo- men are exchanged on their appoint ed days at home. and then the cards are left by the caller on the tray in the hall as she passes through on her way to the drawing room. She puts into the tray one card of her own and two of her husbands if her hostess is married. If her Hostess unmarried daughters receive with their mother. the caller need not leave any cards for them. even though they are in society If a married daughter should be receiv- ing with her mothei.. the caller would leave one of her cards when going out.
 X young lady paving q chance call on mother and daughters. or d hostess and friend. and being told the ladies are out leaves two cards. A call paid to lady visiting in a house, whether the lady of the house is a friend or stranger to the caller. requires two cards. one for the guest and one for her hostess, and this is still the rule whether the caller is q man or woman.
 A young man when calling for the first time on an unmarried woman should ask for her mother. or chap eron. as well. and if they are not at home. he should leave two cards. Subsequently he need leave but one card.
 There was a time when man sent up his card when calling, but this has gone out now for informal calls. He sends his name by the servant. leaving a card only if she on whom he is calling is not at home. On re- ception days he leaves cards on the tray in the hall, as do women. We are in a transition stage in large cities as regards the European custom of leaving cards at the door by the footnian without asking to see the ladies of the house. This IS an entirely correct proceeding in large society. where the demands on ones time are great. and in any metropolis it is a sign of provincial ism to take offence at the practice It has been done. for years Tn Lon don. and is quite the custom Tn New York and Washington.

1 about 400 scattered about, but mos
 of them have fallen down. How they | transported them from one end of he ] island to the other is a problem which has puzzled all those who have visited i the place.
 The island belongs to the Chilian government, which seems to take nc interest in it beyond sending war ship to visit it once in two or three years. and as it is so far away from anywhere it does not pay to send a ship to collect the wool, which has collected there for the last three years awaiting shipment.
 There are, unfortunately no shel- tered anchorages. and a ship has to move immediately the wind shifts around.
 They are endeavoring to plant trees on this island and 45.000 have been set out. but each tree has to have a high wall built around il to protect it from the sheep. However. cer- tain part of this island is kept from the animals and have no doubt y'Npr seeds will develop.
 Unfortunately, the Chilean who owns the island was away at the time and the man left in charge was a na- tive of the island, but the old French man seemed to take an interest in 'he seeds and I have no doubt something will be done
 After leaving Easter island we wis ited Ducie island, which is an uni1- habited coral atoll with some extent of sand. which is covered with scrub brush On this island I planted a small cocoanut tree which had been growing in my cabin for some months and was about three feet high. l think it ought to do well and propa- gate itself If it does well ii will make a much better object of the is land. as at present it is very low and dangerous to ships. and it may also be of use to shipwreclsed sailors.
 Pitcairn island. the history of which you doubtless know well. found to be in a very flourishing state with a population of 13O people. and that no less than forty seven sailing ships stopped off the island and took supplies. They are the same simple people. and it was a very Interesting place to visit. though we were unfor- tunate in the weather there and had an anxious time"

CALLED AT EASTER ISLAND

Victoria. B B-Pitcairn Island. Easter island and other outlying is lands on the Pacific were recently visited by the British naval ship Flora. which distributed seeds and other supplies. Captain Rowland Nugent has written an account of his trip. from which the following is an ex- tract:
 Easter Island has a population of 265 souls. some of pure-bred Kanak- as. similar to the Hawaiian. others all most white, descendants of English. German. French, Russian and Chilian sailors who have lived at tine island at various times. There was only one European. an old French sailor. who had been there for twenty-five years.
 These people are very much cut off from the outside world. At the time of our arrival they had no com munication for over two years, except for one sailing vessel which stopped for few hours about ten months ago.
 The people have only few rags of clothes left. Most of the men and nearly all of the children were abso- lately naked and many of the women had to remain indoors owing to the want of clothes They had no oil, matches. candles or needles. thread or any of what we would call necessaries, but in spite of that they were remark ably healthy the only sick person be- ing man suffering with asthma
 T was much taken with the people. who were a fine lot, and. though they were in dire want. they never asked for anything, and when given clothes always produced chickens or vege- tables or whatever they had in the way of curios for exchange Needless to say. all the old clothes we had and other necessaries were given them and all their immediate wants were sup piled.
 This island, which is about seven miles long. is covered with long grass and supports a flock of 10000 sheep. 300 head of cattle and about 900 horses. and is also overrun with do- nestle fowls. run wild. and the Chilian cartridges. The latter afford good shooting and are fine, plump birds.
 There are idols on this island many of which are of large size One We measured was seventy mine feet long and very interesting There are

OLD LOCKWOOD CREAM WARE

Josiah Wedgwood was eclipsed by his own greatness. His world renowned jssperwa-e is his greatest triumph and has overshadowed all his other work. His Egyptian black ware. or basait. in itself would have won renown for any other English potter. His marbled wares are distinctive enough to have placed him high on the list of ceramic inventors.
 So it has come to pass that his earth enware. the very English cream ware or Queens Ware. as he termed 1t after 1765. when Queen Charlotte gave him her patronage and commanded him to call himself Potter to her Majesty has suffered by being regarded as

the poorer relation of his other work
 It cannot be too strongly urged upon collectors to pay particular attention to three classes of cream ware. First. the undecorated or plain. representing the most perfect symmetry and rivaling the work of the 'silersmith. There are delightful teapots or bold design and exquisite dishes of pierced work with out equal in English earthenware. Sec ondly. the transfer printed ware of the early days. when the cream ware was sent to Liverpool to Sadler and Green. Lastly the painted or enameled cream ware of which the recently found Catherine II. service stands as the greatest triumph.

Where the difference in their ages is very slight, the woman who re- turns to town first makes the initial call. or the unmarried one calls first on the married woman.

 Ordinarily when the winter season really begins first calls are received by those who issue their at home begins without strict reference to courtesies extended or received in the foregoing winter
 It is not only a civility. but a so- cial necessity when one has served as a bridesmaid, maid of honor. usher or best man to call upon the brides mother shortly after the wedding. and upon the bride directly after she re- turns from her honeymoon The guests at d home wedding. wedding reception or breakfast must call in due course on the mother of the bride. and later on the bride.
 It is an obligation to call on ores hostess after a dinner. a dance, a musicale or d luncheon. For men as well as women. the dinner call is of paramount importance. It is paid within a fortnight after the dinner.
 First calls in the season should be

SPORTING EVENTS OF THE WEEK.

New York, Nov. 29.-Bicycling as a
sport will again come into prominence
the latter part of this week when the
clans will begin to gather in New
York for the annual six day race in
Madison Square Garden. Next Satur-
day night serious of short distance
championship events will be run off,
and the six-day race will begin week
from this morning, probably shortly
after midnight. Between fifteen and
twenty teams from all corners of the
globe are expected to start in the long
grind.
John King, champion pool player
of the world, and Thomas Huesten, of
st. Louis, are matched to play for the
title at Kansas City this week. The
match will begin this evening, and is
for 500 balls in blocks of 200 balls a
night. The play will be concluded
Thursday night, when in the opinion
of many experts, there will be new
pool champion. King has many adj
mirers, however, VINO ar backing him
heavily.
The annual meeting of the board of
directors of the American automobile
association has been called for tomor-
row at the Hotel Belmont, New York,
city. At that time the annual reports
of the officers and chairmen of the
various boards will be made, and from
the nature of the work accomplished
during the past year, these reports
are expected to cover wider field
toward illustrating the automobile
progress of the country than ever be-
fore. The first meeting of the new
board of directors for the election of
officers for the coming year will be
held on the following day, Dec. l.

Report That DR.. Williams Will Have
to Give Way to Another.

Minneapolis, Nov 3O-A movement
has been started by University of Min
nesota alumni to GUST DR.. HI. L. Will
Jams as head coach of the football
team and institute almuni coaching.
Fifteen petitions are being circulated
among university alumni, asking the
removal of Coach Williams. Several
former Gopher football players and one
prominent member of the faculty are
behind the movement and today they
declared there was little doubt but
that they would carry their point.
The object of the petition, according
to the men in charge of the work, is
to harmonic the opposing factions
at the university and to give us a
good team in 1870"
The object of the alumni is to use
the alumni system Of coaching which
is in vogue at Yale and Harvard.
There will be one head coach, an
alumnus, and six assistant coaches.
The seven coaches are TO form con-
ference which will discuss all matters
for the good of the team. This con-
ference of coaches will always be open
TIC suggestions from other alumni
Ed Rogers and 'Punx' Webster, for
mer Minnesota football stars, are men
toned for the position as head coach.

Boston Physicians Trying to Put Mans
Face in Shane

Boston, Nov. 3O.-Leading Boston
surgeons are working on these ideas
for improving man:
Enlarge the jaws to make room for
the teeth and give the face chance
to develop.
Cut out six feet of the large intes-
tine, an operation which incidentally
may aid digestion.
Straighten the toes so that a man
or woman may achieve graceful and
healthful gait.
DIR. Edward HI. Nichols, one OF the
most famous specialists in the coun-
try on intestinal operations, summed
up the present advance today by the
remark:
at is evident enough that as much
as six feet of the large intestine may
be removed and the patient recover
To take out more than six feet is not
successful in a majority of cases, but
the theory has been advanced that a
mans digestion is better when he has
shortened intestine"

People On Route Are Enthusiastic.

People in the towns through which
the interurban is expected to pass are
enthusiastic over the proposition to
build the road, and they are looking
to Mankato to take the lead. They
recognize the Importance of the under
taking, and Mankato being the COM
mercial and financial center of south
ern Minnesota naturally she is ex-
pected to set the wheels in motion.
With the construction of an inter-
urban line to the cities, not many
years would elapse before Mankato
would be the hub of a network of
interurbans- the benefits accruing
to the industrial and commercial in
terests of this city would be beyond
the estimation of the most enter
prising and pushing business man.
Mayor Meyer stated this afternoon
that he would request the business
men, jobbers and manufacturers to
meet with Messrs. Browning and Buck
eye on Thursday afternoon or evening
to look over the plans prepared and
listen to the proposition that will be
made by those gentlemen.
