An Ennlish Custom.

The very sensible English custom of
mentioning the date of departure in
writing invitations for visits has be-
come almost universal in this country.
the exception being in the homesteads
south of Mason and Dixon's line.
There friend or relation is asked to
come and stay as long as convenient,
and the stay sometimes stretches over
months or years There are always
relations who are disposed to overlook
any little discomfort that such visit
brings as well as the positive incon-
venience they may be causing their
hosts, and such is the courtesy of the
people of this part of the country that
the visit only ends at the visitors will.
Instances could even be given in which
the visits of poor relations or friends
have lasted the rest of their lives, the
greatest courtesy and consideration be-
ing shown to them by host and hostess

At the Dance.

A woman waits to be sought by her
partner. When the music for the dance
which she has promised him strikes up
should he fail to seek her out she may
expect an apology and plausible ex,
planation for his delinquency.
If man is doing duty as an escort
on coming from the cloakroom he
awaits his companions appearance
somewhere outside the ballroom door,
at the head or the foot of the stairway
or in the hall, having agreed with her
beforehand just where they are to
meet.
Before he fills his dance program
with other names he asks a dance or
two of the woman in his charge. He
also holds himself in readiness to ac,
company her to the supper room if he
sees that no one offers to serve as
escort in that capacity.

SPIRITS FOR COOK.
They Say He Was Nearr:
Pole Than Peary.
HAVE SIR JOHNS WORD FOR i
Arctic Explorer Who Died In 1847 In
sists That He Travelled With the
Doctor Until the Last Day
Then Quit Him.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-According to
the testimony of prominent disembod-
led spirits, neither DR.. Cook nor Com.
mander Peary reached the north pole,
but Cook got nearer to the goal than
Peary.
This somewhat astonishing state
ment is contained in letter from Viii
Nam T. Stead of the Review of Re
views of London to Arthur Rollinsoli
Colburn, lawyer, of this city and
forwarded by Mr.. Colburn to Repre-
sentative Roberts of Massachusetts. Il
member of the house committee on Da-
val affairs, who has been outspoken in
his opposition to the proposition that
congress reward Peary for his arr Il.
explorations.
In Mr.. Stead's letter to Mr.. Colbu9N
he says:
"With regard to the pole contro
versy, the only message which We
have received on the subject was unn
from Sir John Franklin last year He
did not say anything about Peary, but
said he had personally conducted Coo,
nearly to the pole and then left him to
complete the journey himself, Seeing
you have received a communication in
the same sense, l thought this would
interest you" ..
Mr.. Colburn adds:
at is most noteworthy that the tes
timony of the spirit world is unani.

nous that neither explorer reached the
pole, but that Cook got nearer than
Peary. This testimony | have received,
and friends of mine declare likewisr
from fifty gifted psychics rangins
from those who simply have powers
to receive correct mental impressions
to those who have the wonderments
of the independent voice, materialiZa-
tions, etc
"And, too, these psychics represent
all phases of interest in the polar con
troversy from those deeply interested
to those who think the whole matter a
piece of folly, inconsequential and val
ueless'
Mr.. Colburn believes the strangesi
feature about the communication from
Mr.. Stead is the statement that whea
near the pole the spirit of Sir john
Franklin, the arctic explorer, who
died in 1917, left Dr. Cook to finish
the journey alone
"With friend Of mine, the esiden'
Of a corporation here in Washington
visited a physician of great psychi
power. He received through his own
hand the signatures, correctly, of prob
ably fifty friends of the doctor
including one of whom my friend had
never heard.
"Then Sir John Franklin, in his OWL
proper handwriting, gave an extended
message on the subject Of the polar
controversy. Giving it from mem1r
as best | can, it was that he, Sir John
was the inspirer and sustainer of Cook
in his quest; that the cold was so in
tense that the breath would freez2
upon the instruments, welding or h.
terfering with their working parts and
rendering them useless.
"That the effect of the cold on tha
mind was to render it dreamy and III.
able to think in normal way, or &C.
make observations that the monotony.
mirages, hardships and exposure made
everything around seem unreal and
fantastic and that any observation
made under such circumstances we,y
valueless and that reliable evidence
1Ould not be obtained. Ny friend di
not know the handwriting of Sir john
but on comparison it was found salts
factory"
Mr. Colburn concludes his letter b.
stating that:
"Lieutenant Booth Lockwood hu,
communicated with us at our hom,
through great trance mediums ant
sustains Cook as against Peary."

HERE'S A REAL FISH STORY.
Whale Charged Ship and Damaged
Steel Plates, Captain Says.


New Orleans, Jan. 19-With a score
of plates on the port side badly dam
aged in a fight with whale in the
gulf Of Mexico, the Norwegian steam
er Mount Vernon came limping into
port. 1t is a queer story that Cap
tain Falsen, master of the vessel, has
to tell.
Three days out from Bocas del Toro
and not far from the entrance to the
South pass, at the mouth of the Missis-
sippi, Re was awakened early In the
morning of Jan. 13 by feeling the pow
of his ship strike something soft that
resisted the progress of the ship. He
rushed on deck and saw a huge whale,
which he estimates as seventy-five feet
long, backing away from the forward
quarter of the Mount Vernon. Blood
was streaming from the monsters
sides.
A hundred yards or so from the ship
the whale stopped, threshed the sea
with its tail and then drove straight
at the boat. The massive head struck
just below the point where the fright
ened skipper stood. The force of the
blow was tremendous. The heavy
steel plates buckled. Falsen was
thrown to the deck.
But naturally it was the whale that
suffered most. With the rebound of
the blow he was hurled back. His
crushed head upreared for a moment
and the body sank out of sight.

Hostesses at dinner must put guests
of honor at the right of themselves
and the hosts even if the usual sit
ting places are changed to suit the oc-
caslon. When a married woman en-
tertains at dinner she puts at her right

so wish to honor, and the wife must
be at the right of the host To place
the guests of honor in any other posi-
distinction intended. .t.a .H.
With round table the matter Of
seating guests becomes simple. for
there is no head and no foot, and the
desired position arranges itself with
out change. Frequently the hostess
does not have seat directly opposite
to the host, but in circle this is not
conspicuous. fBEtEy .l
With an opsl or square table and
eight guests the arrangement becomes
complicated. Three persons on a side
means that the hostess must abandon
her usual place or she will have two
women together and two men. than
which nothing could show greater ig-
norance. There is nothing for the
hostess then TO do but to change her
position, leaving her husband in that
which he always occupies. a. ..
The woman guest Of honor then goes
at his right, and. if possible, the hus-
band is put at the right of the hostess
on the side Of the table. When all the
guests are married couples even the
husband of the honor guest cannot be
at the hostess right, though she has
abandoned her regular seat.

Scottish Names.

No country has experienced the diff
Guilty arising from the commonness of
one surname in district more intense
ly than Scotland. With a whole coun-
tryside populated by Campbells, Fra
sers or Gordons, some more distin-
gushing nomenclature had to be
found And no doubt this was the
chief reason why at one time men
were always known by the name of
their estate or farm. Dean Ramsay
