Sixteenth Century Manners.


In an old book published In the six
teenth century and entitled THE Ac-
complished Lady's Rich Closet; or.
Ingenious Gentlewoman's Delightful
Companion" it is written:
"a gentlewoman being at table must
observe to keep her body straight and
lean not by any means with her ell
bows nor by ravenous gesture discov-
err voracious appetite. Talk not
when you have meat In your mouth.
and do not smack like pig nor VEN
ture to eat spoon meat so hot that the
tears stand in your eyes. which is as
unseemly as the gentlewoman who
pretended to have as little a stomach
as she had mouth and therefore
would not swallow her peas sby spoon
full. but took them one by one and
cut them in two before she would eat
them. 1t is very unseemly to drink
SO large draft that your breath Is
almost gone and you are forced to
blow strongly to recover yourself. In
carving at your own table distribute
the best pieces first. and it will ar'-
pear very comeiy and decent to use
fork, SO touch no piece of meat with
cut it."

TaIkino Canaries,

Talking canaries are great rarity,
but several authenticated instances are
on record. At Norwood, England, in
1858 lady had a canary bird which
began by repeating word which its
mistress had often used to it-"Kissie,
kissie''-and by following the word UP
by an imitation of the sound of kiss.
After a time the bird repeated other
words until it had large vocabulary
Of phrases, one of which consisted Of
five words. Again, in 1868, talking
canary was exhibited in Bath, with a
vocabulary such as is generally taught
to parrots, and another talking canary
was exhibited for a few weeks in this
country, but it unfortunately caught
cold and died. In Germany and the
Tyrol canaries are taught to initiate
the notes of other birds and whistle
simple tunes, and the words which it
initiates may be regarded as a mere
development or variant of it's musical
notes

WHY?

The six representatives of the six
great powers each rose up before the
representatives of the imperial gov
eminent and the insurgents, in
Shanghai, on Wednesday, and each
one of the six foreigners read to the
two Chinese statesmen Gin his own
language. we suppose) the Identical
note, telling the Cinnamon that they
must agree quickly On the form of
government they are going to adopt,
etc.
Will somebody explain what SER
vice the United States government is
rendering to the people of China in
taking part in this sort of a proceed
ing? A dispatch from London says
that "Advices from Toxic say that The
entire press is indulging in a DELHI
crate campaign in favor of joint An
glo-Japanese interventlon.' Is the
United States going into any arrange
ment of that kind? When this coun-
try was distractedsbv civil war the
representa- tives of China did not call
on Abraham Lincoln and tell him
there must be no delay in arranging
Union.
Why is the United States playing
this part in China now?
A Pekin dispatch concerning finan>
cial arrangements for providing sup
port for the central governmet, 1T is
said agrees with Premier Yuan's ex-
pressed opinion that the struggle may
last four years"
If the people of the United States
had the right to devote themselves for
four years to a civil conflict, half a
century ago, why have not the people
of China as good a right to do the
same thing now?

A certain public Office has been the
object of much satire because Of the
passive nature Of the incumbent's du-
ies-except when he is called by tragic
occurrence into the thick Of action. So
very Negative, indeed, is the work of
this public servant that he sometimes
serves his country most efficiently by
being absent, as appears in this extract
from Moses Colt Tyler's journal, writ
ten in Washington years ago:
president Grant never starts con-
versation, but when it Is started he
often says a neat thing. Last year
there was an excursion down the Po-
tomac. He was on board, with his cabi-
net and a quorum of both houses.
"'Mr. President said Mrs. Judd,
who sat near him, it would be pretty
bad thing to have great accident hap
pen to this party. Nearly the whole
government would be destroyed
eyes, Mrs. judd assented the pres
ident, but you observe that the vice
president has very prudently stayed at
home'"

Then Simpson found out what it is
to be alone and friendless in New York.
Unable to get work he had no money
for food and his strength was rapidly
failing when Capt. ]. G. MCGEE of the
Salvation Army learned of his plight
and took him into the Industrial
Home. The old man was given a

Discouraged by the Withholding of
popular support from their production,
the directors of the New Theatre, have
abandoned their plan to conduct here
a forum for the uplifting of the dra-
matte art, from the slough of COM
mercialism. This means that the
100000 playhouse-the most luxur-
ious institution of it's kind in the
world-will pass into other hands and
for a generation to come. will be a
nightmare to these altruists who put
up the money with which to make it
possible.
Those patrons of art who paid $25, 900
for life interest in boxes at the The
atre, are wondering just how they will
fare in the winding up of the affairs
of the enterprise. One of those who
went in on the $4,000 basis thus out
lines the situation as he sees it,:
when The movement was first pro-
jected IL was generally understood that
the thirty wealthy patrons of art re-
sponsible would put up 100000 each
to buy the plot at Sixty-second street
and Central Park West and build the
playhouse. The plot was to cost
$500 600 and the structure the balance,
or S2,050,000. AS matter of fact
$S,050,0O0 was spent.

Some That Mimic Leaves and Flowers
and Can Change Color.
Every traveller that returns from
tropical regions has extraordinary
stories to tell of the strange mimicry
of leaves and flowers by insects. says
Harper's Weekly. Sometimes the pur
pose of the imitation seems to be con.
cealment and sometimes the laying OF
snare to catch other insects. A curl
GUS instance of this was noticed on the
Gold Coast of Africa by a member OF
q British scientific expedition when he
stopped to examine a singular looking
white flower with a blue center.
He found to his establishment that
it was not flower. but spiders web.
and that the supposed light blue heart
of the flower was the spider lying In
wait for it's prey. The legs of the Gun
min: spider. yellow notified with
br wn. were extended In such way
as to resemble the division between
the petals of the flower.
The web itself. very delicateiy
woven into a rosette pattern. was
white. and the threads that suspended
1t from the bushes were so fine as to
be almost invisible. The whole thing
had the appearance of being suspend
ed in the air upon a stem concealed be-
meath.
When the scientist knocked the spi-
der from its perch into white gauze
net his surprise was increased upon
seeing his captive instantly turn from
blue to white. its former mimicry had
been practiced as a snare: now 1t was
playing similar game for the sake
of conceaiment When the investi-
gator shook his captive its body again
changed color. becoming this time Of a
dull greenish brown. Later he cap
tured another larger specimen Of the
same species Of spider. whose flower
web resembled an orchid. This spider
exhibited the same remarkable power
Of changing its color.

The Lerot and the Snake.

Every one has heard of the remarka-
BILE combats of the Indian mOngoose
with venomous snakes, in which little
rikki-tikki-tayi comes off victor. The
fact that the mongoose invariably sur,
wives has led to the suggestion that 1T
is immune to snake poison. Other ami
mails said to be immune are the pig
and the hedgehog. The experiments
of British natrralists show that an
animal of the dormouse family must
be added to the list of the immune.
This animal is known as the lerot and
is said TO fight fiercely with vipers.
Large doses OF viper's poison were In
iected into one lerot, from which in
lection no i'll effects followed On one
occasion a lerot was bitten badly in
the eye by q viper. and no signs of
poisoning occurred. There can, it is
thought, be 10 doubt that the lerot Is
immune to snake poison.

High Cost Of Living

threshed out at several meetings of
branches of the American Association
for Advancement of Science here to-
day. Three Senators. Lodge of Mass
achusetts, Smoot of Utah, and Craw-
ford of South Dakota, discussed the
feasibility of an International commits
sion to devise means of lowering food
prices. John Mitchell vice president
Of the American Federation of Labor
and Char es P. Neill, Commissioner o;
Labor, spoke to the laborers interested
in the problem.
