Undesirable Traits That Were Passed

Herbert Bismarck has none of his

but had his overbearing temper and
his mothers violent irascibiity. She
had the disposition of the Franksh
woman as eXcmplifcd in FredcGOnia,
but held in check by modern condi-
lions. Bismarck in anger was as ter
rible as n ferocious mastiff. She, far
from restraining MIN, kept on saying:
Good dog; tss-s-sS. Go at him (Or
at herr; good dog; tss-s S." or tan

below the surface in Bismarck grew
more and more infuriated, especially
IL the evening before he had eaten
and drunk copiously. With these
parents Herbert, Jane ana Bill Bis

A COIFFURE DINNER.
A Novel Function ut Which by Their
Hair Ye Shall Know Them.

At novelty in the shape OF n
coiffure dinner each guest was re-
quested to come with his or her
head dressed to represent some per-

The host wore n long white beard
and white hair and furs which made
him Immediately recognizable as
Santa Claus. The hostess, in bril-
liant colors with scepter and head
dress and flowing robe, says What to
Eat, was Aurora. A white coiffure
sprinkled with silver dust to repre-

was that of Electra. She had an cleo
trio battery concealed about her

rated with tiny electric lights, which
she could illuminate or put out at

Science to the Rescue.

Science has come to the rescue of the
epicure by undertaking to save the
terrapin from extinction-science in
this instance being understood to mean
the Bureau Of Fisheries of the Depart
ment Of Commerce and Labor. Two
experimental terrapin pounds have
been established, one on the Choptank
river, Maryland, and the other at
Beaufort, North Carolina. For these
Enclosures large natural marshes where
terrapin formerly abounded have been
selected. Each pound includes several
ocres, inclosed by boards driven into
the marsh and surmounted by barbed
wire, as protection against poachers.

ers and guards at each station. The
waters of the marshes have been

Of eggs for experimental purposes may
lie annually supplied. These will be
artificially hatched in boxes filled with

Origin Of Amende Honorable.

Amende honorable was form OF
punishment that originated in France
in the ninth century. 1t was inflicted
upon murderers, traitors and sacre-
ligious persons. The culprit was de-
iivered into the hands Of the hang
man; his shirt was stripped from
his back; a halter was placed around
his neck, and lighted taper in his
hand. In this condition he was
brought into court, and then made to
ask pardon Of God, the king and the
country. Death or banishment some.
times followed.
AS the phrase is now used, 1t refers
to any apology or reparation made to
an injured person.

Old Time Rate Wars

There used to be rate wars in the
old stagecoach days At one time,
early last century, one stagecoach
company not only cut the price from
Lewes to London to a very low rate
but gave also other inducements. AS
the coach started from Lewes at a
somewhat uncomfortably early hour
in the morning by way of tiding over
the difficulty the proprietors allowed
the more slothful of their passengers
to go overnight to Brighton. where
they were accommodated with good
beds free of expense and could pro
ceed comfortably to London by the
