Manners are different in different
parts Of the world. and even the short
space Of the English channel makes
a difference. On the British side lady
bows first to a man whom she knows.
and on the French side she would
never think Of bowling until the man
had first recognized her. In England
a man rises to open the door for
lady. and in France such a proceed
ing would be considered oficious. In
France the stranger makes the first
call. and in England it is, OF course.
the older resident who makes the ad-
vance.

Not So Very Precious.

A New York hotel is going to have
enough gold dishes to serve dinner
of seven courses TO 75 persons. OF
course. this suggests moralizing on
prodigal luxury and illusions to Lu-
cullus and Apicius and also to Bel
shazzar But there was time when
even kings dined from trenchers. The
introduction of pewter was probably
denounced by the philosophers of the
day as prodigality. and while silver
is not commonly used for dishes from
which persons eat, it is in such gem
eral use for the larger pieces and for
spoons, forks and drinking vessels
that the use of silver must represent.
as compared with the previous Gus
toms, about as great an increase of
expenditure as the use of gold din
ing service does now. The precious
metals are not so precious as they
were once.-Philadelph Record.

The 4MovIna Picture Exe.v

The oculist as well as others have
discovered a new disease which they.
have named the moving picture eye.
1t is an affection of the eyes which
comes from too great familiarity with
the five-cent theaters, where the en-
tertainment is largely by means of
moving pictures. Individually / have
experienced the trouble, but so sell
dom as to mean nothing But others
have told me that half hours stay in
moving picture theater always gave
them headache and that headache
must have come through the instru-
mentality of the eye. 1t is well known
that specialists often associate head
aches and kindred troubles to defective
vision II looks to me as if the mat
ter rested upon pretty fair foundations.

DREAD OF NUMBER THIRTEEN.
Superstition First Arose Among the
Norsenien, II Is Supposed.

The 1S superstition originally arose
among the Norsemen, for it is re-
corded in the old Morse mythology
that the god Balder was slain at ban
quet at which there were 1S guests,
and, as being slain was just as unpop-
ular an experience then as it is now,
the number came to be regarded as an
ill-omen. relates Stray Stories.
In Christian countries it is gea-
orally supposed that the belief had
its origin in the last supper, but e.
matter of fact, it is Of far older
date
In many lands it is regarded far
more seriously than it is in England.
The Turks, for instance, so dislike
the number that the word is almost
expunged from their vocabulary.
The Italians never use it in making
up their lotteries.
In Paris no house bears the mum
ber; while people called "Quatorzi-
.enres' are often hired out at a pinch
to make a fourteenth at dinner parties.

The Distance Around.

A bright-eyed old man boarded the
train at St Paul, bound for Seattle
As the conductor passed through the
car the old man stopped him and asked
how far it was from St Paul TO Sc
attle.
sixteen hundred and twenty miles,
the official answered, curtly.
The next time the conductor came
along the old man stopped him again,
and asked him how far it was from
Seattle TO st. Paul.

ductor, pompously; its 1920 miles
from st. Paul to Seattle, and it's l,62O

Our Ear.EIuna Battle Line.

An illustration of how far "our far
flung battle line" is being extended
and strengthened is furnished by the
announcement that formal approval
has been given by the navy depart
ment for the building Of the largest
drydock in the world. This dock, LOO
feet long and 10 feet wide, will be TO-
Gated at Pearl harbor Hawaii, where
the great naval base for the ships Of
our Pacific fleet is to be constructed
and fortified. Its reported dimensions
will make this dock large enough to
accommodate two OF the largest battle
ships of the North Dakota class at the
same time, or three of the older bat
tleships, or nearly a whole fleet OF
smaller vessels.

salt Is a Necessity.

Salt is a most necessary article OF
food, says a well-known scientist.
IAN races of mankind, either civilized
or IN a savage state, have the same re-
gard for salt.
IN parts Of Central Africa the ma
tives regard salt as luxury, and will
willingly do much to obtain 1t. So
much do they like the taste of salt
that the ashes of the burnt veldt grass
are used to season their meat. These
ashes contain saltpetre, which imparts
the coveted flavor to food
Animals, too. are fond OF salt In a
wild state they will readily go 10 a
spring the water Of which has been
salted Sportsmen know this. and
use it as bait.
salt exists in all parts OF the
body SO onnipresent is it that even
the tears taste OF thence the salt.

Although the majority of royal pc.

ing monarch whose meals are of the
simplest. This monarch is the en-
peror of China. His whole life is lived
in obedience to the most stringent
etiquette and his food is all regulated
for him by statute. So strict are the
laws governing the imperial household
that when he desires a new dish he
has to pass a special decree before he
can have it, and the court physicians
keep a strict watch over his appetite.
Should he show special liking for
any particular Wand, the chances are
that they will persuade him not to
take it. under the pretense that it may
prove injurious to his health.

PrettY superstItIon.

Among the superstitions OF the Sen
eca Indians is, or was, a beautiful one
connected with the death Of maiden.
When this occurred. they imprisoned
a young bird, and kept it SO until it
began to try its powers Of song; and
then, loading it with caresses and
messages, they set it free over her
grave. in the belief that it would not
fold its wing or close its eye until It
has flown to the spiritland and de-
nvered its burden Of affection to the
loved one.

have. i don't regard him as for
mIdable opponent anyway, and 1 know
that CaIifornians want me to fight
KetcheI first, so 1 have cut of all re-

TAKES SUBURBAN
HANDICAP AT SHEEPSHEAD TRACK

This is their view of the changes of
time:
"That there is pretty good fight left
in James ]. Jeffries, providing he VIII
continue along the lines he has been fol-
lowing during the last few months Is
the belief of a majority of those VINO
saw the retired champion skip the rope
and box three one-minute rounds with
Sam Berger at the National A. @. last
evening. Jeff is down to 235 pounds,
he says, and he looks to be even lighter,
and in his exhibition bout with Berger
he displayed a considerable speed with
both hands and feet-more, in fact,
than he uses in his fights, for Jeffries
was rather slow in actions when he was
at his best in the ring. He delighted,
it will be remembered, in making the
other fellow do most of the fighting,
meeting him with hard left out from
his famous crouch, which only a clever
left-hand hitter could penetrate.
with Berger last night Jeffries stood
up and boxed most of the time and
worked fast OF course it was only an
exhibition and there was no force be-
hind the blows, and the gloves were
unusually large, but even with these
helps Berger was cuffed harder than
seemed good to him at times. The
men have boxed together so long that
they understand each other pretty wei
and make a pretty set to.
"Jeffries began with short speech,
iii which he said that there was no use
in his talking, but that when the right
time came he would be there with the
goods
"Then he jumped the rope for a
minute, following with three rounds
with Berger The first lasted 1:10, the
second 1:5. and the third :56. In the
third and final round Jeffries assumed
his famous crouch and gave an exhibit
ton Of his style in real fighting, but
still, of course. without putting power
behind the blows.
"In appearance Jeffries looks older
than his years. He was "a April 10,
and has the appearance of a man of 40.
The hair is getting thin on his head.
and his muscles, once so full and
round, are fiat and comparatively
flabby. He will surely never be the
Jeffries of old, but he still looks good
enough to beat Johnson If he will con-
tinue to train for some months longer.
He is now about ready to begin real
training, judging by his appearance,
except for the condition of his blood,
which is still somewhat feverish, judg
ing by the boils from which he suffers.
Jeffries calls it blood poisoning. and
says he will be rid of them in, few
weeks"
