Bad Manners.

Is the speedy motor car an OBJ
stacle to punctuality? 1t would seem
So Certainly the habit of arriving
late at the theatre and other places
of entertainment is growing with the
multiplication of the means of rapid
transportation. 1t is seldom that a
play or program is not marred or in
terrupted by these late arrivals. And
the disturbance is greater where
motor cars carry the larger number
of the attendants. Does this mean
that those who have to depend on
the street cars are more apt to give
themselves reasonable time than are
those who have gotten into the habit
of thinking that neither time nor dis
lance counts when the automobile is
available? At any rate the habit is
a bad one.-Kansas City Star.

Forbes partly regained consciousness
and told in dazed fashion of having
started out from Quincy, ILL.,, in an
attempt to reach New York City.

farmer and his son went out to see
what was the matter and found them
lying in the bottom of the basket, un.
conscious. They were carried to the
farmers house.
There was no food or drink in the
basket of the balloon; it must have
been either eaten or thrown over

Hygiene in Japan.

AS a specimen of how practical the
Japanese are with their knowledge
of Western science and determination
to deal with disease, they have levied
a tax on every household to produce
two rats every month. A fine is i'm
posed if the rats are not caught and
produced at the time of inspection.
Every rat is examined, aand if found
to be plague infected the house from
which they come is to be thoroughly
cleaned and disinfected. Twice a
year every house and shop has to
disgorge all its effects and be com
pletely cleaned out. The things only
go back after sanitary inspection. -
