She Didn't Mind.

A girl with a Gibson face and a
green feather in her hat boarded a
Chestnut street car the a,ether after
noon. She carried something In a pa
per sack under her arm. The car was
crowded with passengers, and no~one
offered to rise.
The girl looked worried, but set her
lips and grabbed at a strap. Just then
the a lurched, the girl made a wild
effort to keep on her feet and threw
her bundle straight in a large mans
lap. There was a peculiar grinding
sound in the sack, andrthen something
seeped out that looked suspiciously
like the yellow of an egg.
"What in the thunder is this stuff? p
he started to say, when she sweetly
remarked as she chung to the strap:
ooh, never mind making apologies.
1 a get another dozen Of eggs at our
grocery"
The conductor removed the sack of
eggs, and the mar looked so savage
that no one dared laugh.-Louisville

POWER OF A WORD.
Why France Changed the Name of the
"Life Saving Belt"

Why France Changed the Name of the
"Life Saving Belt"
A vivid Illustration Of the power Of
mere words over human beings was
once brought to the attention of French
people by Francisque Sarcey.
After the wreck of the Bourgogne
many passengers were found floating
drowned with life preservers on. These
life preservers were fastened upon the
bodies, but round the middle instead
of under the arms, and the greater
weight of the upper part Of the body
had tipped the head under water and
the person of course was inevitably
drowned.
Now 1t appears that the greater num-
Der of the persons SO drowned were
French. The French term for life pre-
server is ceinture de s~auvetage, or life
saving belt.n This word ceinture sug-
gests to the mind in'its moments of
disorder and unneadiness, such as a
great catastrophe brings, the idea of
putting on a belt, and as a belt is put
round the waist and nowhere else the
frightened person instinctiVely ADJUSTS
the life preserver close about the hips.
The result is hat as soon as the
person so provided falls into the water
his body tips over, with the heavier
part downward, and the head is plung-
ed beneath the surface.
The word 'belt," therefore, was the
cause Of the loss of many lives in the
Bourgogne disaster. Sarcey according
fy proposed to eounteract the fatal eff
feet Of the French word by remaining
the article and calling It q brassiere,
which Is a kind Of waist, and by bring
ing the word bras, or arm, to mind to
teach people to put q life preses = On
just underneath tbs sxma.-C eage

TIME OE HIGH MATER.
DEATH BOARDS.
Curious Custom That Prevails In East.
ern Bavaria.

In the eastern half of Bavaria, says
on the borders of Bohemia, lies the SO
called Bavarian forest. This part of
the country, although 1t boasts beauti-
full scenery, Is seldom visited by tour
lists, probably for the reason that the
charms of the region are little known
even In Germany. This part of Bava-
ria has been in many ways untouched
by civilization, and owing to its seclu-
sion from the outer world some very
strange customs are still in vogue,
strongly reminding n Of the middle
ages.
One of these strange customs, strict
ly observed by the population, is the
way In which they keep alive the
memory of their dead by the erection
of what are called "totenbretter," or
death boards" These are wooden
planks cut in the shape Of tombstones
and roughly painted. Sometimes they
bear also the image of a saint. They
are eFected-often in a row of thirty
and more-on the roadside, in fields
and meadows, near chapels and cruel
fixes, in the village streets-in short,
everywhere; they are even nailed to
houses and barns.
They do not mark burial places, as
might be supposed. AS soon as a per-
son has died the corpse is put on a
board, and there it lies in state until it
is put into the coffin shortly before the
funeral. These boards, then, are the
SO called death boards" and after the
funeral they are cut into a suitable
shape and decorated with an inscrip-
ton containing the name Of the de-
ceased, his age and in most cases
some lines Of poetry.
These short poems, which are, Of
course, meant in sober earnest, are oc-
easionally very amusing. The boards
are then stuck somewhere near the
road or in the fields, where they some
times accumulate to an alarming num-
Der. In the poorer districts these
boards are not always cut into shape
and painted, but are simply deposited
just as they are at the foot of som
crucihx, where they remain untouched
until they moider away.

The Drummer.

Drummers seldom pray much, pay
their bills, usually hate shams, dodge
touches, have warm hearts, quick wits,
much nerve and more courage, but are
born scoffers. They have good mem
cries, much humor and a fund OF
stories limited only by time. They can
preach a sermon, lead in prayer, time
a horse a umpire a ball game, make
a stump speech and have an opinion
upon every known subject from prize
fights to the nebular hypothesis.-Com

A REAL POISON PERIL.
Venom of the Most Deadly Creature In
This Country.

Venom of the Most Deadly Creature In
This Country.
One venomous creature there is in
this country which may justly be
termed a public peril in the widest
sense. Proportionately to population
more victims fall to 1t yearly in the
United States than to the dreaded
cobra in India. Some 10000 Ameri-
cans are killed every year by its bite.
Three hundred thousand more are
made seriously Ill from the after eff
fects. Unfortunately the virus works
so slowly that alarm is stilled. The
victims do not sicken at once. The
bite is, forgotten, but ten days or two
weeks after the subject falls into a
him. Eventually in extreme cases he
becomes delirious, succumbs to a stu
por and dies.
Yet because there is nothing horrlflc
to the sensation loving imagination in
the malaria bearing mosquito public
inertia or ignorance t~olerates it with a
grin and permits it to breed In city
and country alike throughout the
length and breadth of the nation.
Compared with it as q real menace all
the combined brood Of snakes, scor-
pions, centipedes, tarantulas and other
pet bugaboos of our childish romantl-
cism are utterly negligible, are as fig
ment to reality, as shadow to sub
stance. 1t is perhaps characteristic Of
our wryly humorous American tenn
permanent that we should have invest
ed the unimportant danger with all
the s~huddering attributes Of horror
and have made of the real peril a joke
to be perennially hailed with laughter
isin a thousand thoughtless prints.-Ev-

A PROPOSED CUEE FOR DIVORCES

DR.. Luther H. Gulick, director ri
enid hygiene of the Russell Sage
Foundation, thinks he has hit upon a
scheme that will cure the divorce evil
IN this country by making man more
dependent upon woman, rather than
woman independent of man. As the
flrst move to secure the interdepend-
ency OF man and his wife he would
nave the mans coat buttoned up the
PACK, because things then would not be
So one-sided as at present, with the
woman helpless creature and a man
able to take care of himself.
What is needed for the harmony of
homes" says DR.. Gulick, 'fs more CO.
operation between man and wife. If
the men had their lapel in the middle
of their backs, making it necessary for
their wives to help them dress, we
would have fewer divorces"
The worthy Gulick, no doubt, thinks
that his scheme is all right, but it Is
not If the style in mems dress shou d
be SO changed as to have their coats
opening in the rear instead of the
front, it would not be long before some
genius of the masculine persuasion in
vented a button-up-the-back machine
that would enable husband to dress
himself in jiffy without the need of
his wife's assistance.
We agree with the view entertained
by the New Orleans States that DR..
Quick take a day off and think
up another scheme. In the meantime
we take the liberty of suggesting that
uniform law prohibiting divorced
from again entering the state of we'd
lock would do more to eradicate the
divorce evil than rule requiring
man to wear his coat or trousers
