TRADITION MAY HAVE VALUE.

There is often found in actual fact
and scientific investigation, ample rea
son for what seems to be an absurd
prejudice in the minds of masses oi
people. An instance that may illustrate
this is recently reported from Singa
pore.
Readers of Kipling Will remember
that in one of his short stories an nc
count is given Of the means taken by
the British to relieve the stricken peo
| pie in the famine districts of India
The British there took In the grains
Of commerce, distributing them free
caring for the sick, the destitute. and
the deserted children, The people in
one district, however, set up loud
lamontation and wall against the clean
and polished grain of commerce.; they
wanted their own "paddy''-that is
the rice in the hull. not the white pol
ishcd grain. This demand Of the peo
pie was set forth with a good deal of
scorn and contempt in Kipling's story
and doubtless was received in the same
spirit by the British relief corps which
offered the grain to the people who re-
fused it. And yet there seems to have
been n reason, possibly founded on
remote and. forgotten experience, fol
that supposed prejudice on the part OF
the natives of India.
A recent consular report notes the
prevalence of tho 'beri beri" plague
in the Straits Settlements. Physicians
were not able to trace the cause of
it, all of the known origins of that fe,
yer being thoroughly traced and found
wanting in this case. Finally some one
suggested that the polished white rice
which was given ont and which the ma.
tives called "bad rice might be the
possible cause. Experiments made on
fowls showed that the milled rice pro.
duced 'beri- beri' in them, because the
outer cover of the grain is removed in
the process OF oolishing; that also re,
moves the phosphorus, and it was con,
cluded that the disease can be pre-.
vented by substituting rice in which the
polishing process has been reduced to a
minimum for use in place of tho pol
ishcd rice.
Nearly two thousand deaths were
caused by this disease in the Straits
Settlements colony last year and thirty
to thirty-five deaths monthly in Singa.
pore. Great hopes are entertained that
the less polished rice will be used eff.
fectually to stop the prevalence of the
disease. If so, this will not only be a
blessing to the settlement, but vindi-
cation of the native prejudice which
seems to have spread to India, against
the use Of the polished grain A rea-
son is thereby provided why the natives
do not wish the polished rice, a reason
which they themselves could not posi-
bly, have given, bur which was perhaps
handed down TO them by tradition from
forefathers many generations away,
whose experience had taught them the
lesson, and this lesson was made maxim
from generation to generation without
the accompanying reason for its ac-
ceptance being known IT is curious
vindication of an apparently occult
aversion, now supported by science. But
if less polishing of the rice is obliga-
tory in the tropics, it might perhaps
be better also even in temperate climes
il less polishing were had for the rice
that we use.

FISH THAT PERFORM TRICKS
FInny Tribe Would Appear to Have
More Intelligence Than Is Usually
Attributed to Them.

Fish have many times been taught
to perform tricks, and 1t would ap-
pear as If they had much more intel
ligence than is attributed to them.
j. A. Bailey of circus fame once had
two brook trout in a small aquarium
In his private residence that would
jump out of the water and take flies
held between the forefinger and
thumb, and would also ring a little
bell when they required food. They
would also leap over little bars Of
wood placed about two inches above
the surface of the water.
1t MS a very simple matter to teach
the fish these tricks. At first a little
tower containing a tiny, sweet toned
silver bell was fastened to the iron
work of the aquarium with a piece Of
string attached to the tongue Of the
bell extending iSto the water where
the trout were. On the loose end of
the string an insect or other tempting
morsel was placed, which the fish
would at once seize and, pulling the
cord, the bell in the tower would nat
urally tinkle.
After this had been repeated sew
eral days, the fish were left without
food for some little time until they
made the discovery that they could
obtain it by pulling at the string to
which the delicacies had been at
tached.
This they never failed to do ever
afterward when they were hungry.
and as that was nearly all the time,
the little bell was constantly tinkling,
as the fish were continually pulling
the cord. and it was quite a pretty
and novel sight.

WHATEVER Is WORN Is RIGHT
Fad of Clothes Is Still In Its Prime
and Gives Promise to Re-
main So.

OF all the fads that have interested
this blase world there Is but one that
Is eternal, and that one Is closely as
ISOLATED with the eternal feminine. In
the days of the Pharaohs it was in
high favor. and its popularity has not
diminished with the succeeding ages.
Today 1t is still In its prime, and gives
promise to remain so until the end Of
time. This fad is clothes. All women
have 1t. At an early age they mount
this hobby horse and go galloping
away in a mad steeplechase whose
destination they do not know, or are
to know. And very pleasant is this
eternal fad to onlookers as well as to
Its devotees. Art contains nothing
more lovely than a pretty girl, and
her beauty Is doubled when she wears
a wide, f1owercrowned hat and a
graceful, ripping gown.
In this fad 1t isAd(hcult not to ex-
eel. The motto seems to be: What
ever is worn Is right" So no matter
what size your hat or what shape
your sleeves, be tr3nquil, for every
thing is accepted, and if you can man
age to concoct a pattern never seen
before, so much the better. Your sis
ter faddists will look on with envy,
and exclaimed, How original!'-Bos-
ton Traveller.

THE DEADLY CURTAIN CALL
Times When II Completely Spells the
Dramatic Effect of the Scene
Preceding II.

One of the American dramatic crit
les has discovered that 1t is lot the
automobile that is wholly responsible
for the New Workers. apathy toward
theater-going; one has to reckon, he
says, with what he calls the deadly
curtain call" He objects especially
to the call that Is taken on the open
stage, arguing that 1t completely spoils
the dramatic effect of the scene pre-
ceding 1t. With regard to serious
drama we are bound to admit that
our W actors and actresses are Ill
advised as to their appearance on the
stage at the end of the last act. The

critic supports this view by quoting
the middle act of a successful play, in
which the heroine outwits the lunacy

ing house in order to commit her to
IN asylum. She is Struggled out in

Spouse to applause from the audience,
the curtain is again raised to show
the "bafled commissioners" and the
star, "smirking and smiling in ac-
acknowledgement of the call" That is as
good an example as any of the some
times injudicious policy. Nobody sug-
gests that the call generally should go.
In musical comedy. for instance, it
rather adds to the entertainment. But
we feel that atmosphere in tragedy,
created often so laboriously. is delib-
erately sacrificed by the practise.

Healthy Fowls.

The natural inheritance of all fowls
is constitutional yigor, provided, of
course, they are not enfeebled by in
judicious breeding. Constitutional
vigor can be maintained and brought
about by choosing the strongest,
healthiest and hardest of the stock for
breeders every spring and by killing
off the weak and sickly ones in the
fall. The introduction of fresh blood
frequently not only keeps up the
stamina, health and vigor of stock, but
it also enables them to resist sick
ness and sudden changes of weather
much better than fowls closely and
continuously inbred, or fowls not bred
to any degree of constitutional ex-
cellence, or selected for establishing
any permanent quality.

COULDN'T STAND THE RACKET
Philadelphia Who Went Up Against
New York's Noise Soon Hit the
Trail for Home.

A prominent New York broker tells
a good story on n of his older broth
ers. For many years their lives have
run along different lines and they
have grown out of touch with each
other. The younger is accustomed
to hurly-burly of city life, but his
brothers course has been much quiet
er. Twenty-Five years ago he received
an appointment in n of the museums
In Washington, and he seems to have
become part of that institution. The
particular section that he has in
charge does not require him ever to
leave town, and he has stayed right
there in Washington.
Occasionally the younger brother
would go down to the capital for a
visit and would never leave without
having repeatedly urged the older mi
to get out of the rut, if only once in a
while and if only for a short time.
He never achieved anything until a
few weeks ago. Then he succeeded in
getting a promise to come to New
York, and the promise was kept.
The visitor was taken to see some
of the sights and things that moved
pretty swiftly. They trave'ed in taxi
cabs. street cars and a. trains. The
New Yorker did it without effort, but
the big brother was in a state of
breathlessness all the time. They
turned in late and tired out.
Next morning the visitor was not I'D
very early and when he did come
down he said he was going out to the
barber shop, and disappeared. For
several hours nothing was seen nor
heard of him, and the anxious city
brother was considering sending out a
police alarm when a telegraph mes
senger rang the bell.
The wire was from Philadelphia.

call for several grades of eggs as a
general rule there is no necessity for
many grades. What the best trade
demands is freshness, grading, uni
formity in packing and regularity in
supply.
For ordinary purposes two grades of
eggs will be found sufficient to salts
fly the demands made on the producer,
viz: New laid selects and No. |. An
other grade of common stock may for
a time be marketed, but they must
not be sold under the brand of the
association.
New Laid Selects.-These are to
consist of strictly new laid eggs, not
over five days old, weighing not less
than twenty-four ounces to the dozen.
Clean, of uniform size and color,
packed in substantial neat cases hay
ing clean filters.
No. Ito consist of new laid eggs,
not over five days old, weighing not
less than twenty-one unce to the
dozen. Clean, packed in substantial
and neat new cases with clean filters.
Note.-Common eggs, not covered
by the foregoing grading, must not be
