Rural Illinois Etiquette
From the Chicago Post.

FROM the chicago poSt
Any metropolitan going down through
central Illinois would not find himself
quite as much at home in 1.-The simpler
social life of the rural districts as he
might imagine. He would encounter all
sorts of strangely named rituals. which
would leave him utterly at sea.
This much we gather from careful pc
rusal of the downState press. In its col
umns we have found ceremonies which
we hut just begin to understand and
classify. Our list to date runs something
like this:
..Tacky social - seemingly a sort of
hard times party at which every one
wears old clothes.
ing of young ladies' at the home of one OF
their number with the purpose OF staying
all night.
"Topsy turvy" dinner-a meal served by
the male members Of club instead of by
the women.
"A granite shower'-not stone-throw-
ing contest, but an ante-nuptial event in
which enameled tinware Is bestowed on
the bride.
Lap SUPPER supper without table.
BOX picnic" festival where each
guest brings box Of food.
These events are but a few of those
on the regular social program. We hope
to extend our investigation into the field
of hidden knowledge which they suggest.
BY careful and conscientious work we
may in time be able to compile a book of
rural etiquette that will fill a gap that Is
evidently yAwning one.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The attendance Of brokers today at the
meeting Of the stock exchange was even
smaller than is usual on Saturday,
when the half holiday proves more at
tractive than selling or buying securi-
ties. In consequence the trading was
light in volume. The accumulation of
the common stock of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company was con-
tinued. One of the brokers bought 100
shares at 46, then advanced the bid to At,
which price he offered for lots Of any size.
but only two lots were forthcoming. One
block of ten shares and another of fifty
shares were bought at the level Of n. but
no more stock was offered for sale. At the
close Of the call this advanced figure was
withdrawn and the stock was offered at
46N, with the bid at 45k.
The rest Of the list was passed over
without much change in the figures and
without much business.

Find of Ancient Manuscript.

From the New York Sun.
1t Is rich booty that the heaps of
broken fragments of papyrus found in
Egypt are giving up to scholars as the
Industrious and patient investigators sift
and arrange and paste together the
pieces. Already they have found enough
to give us an idea Of the works. of au-
thors who were merely names before, like
Menander and Bacchylides; they have
rescued lost books as important as the
Constitution OF Athens of Aristotle. and
this year they present us with large
portion of a play by the second Of the
great writer's OF tragedy, Sophocles. from
the Oxyrhynchus papyri.
This is of greater interest than even the
discovery of the text of a lost tragedy
would be. for ii shows Sophocles as u
comic writer. 1t is conjectured that near
ly hat of a satiric play has been recov-
cred. the "Ichneutae"; whereas no line
Of Sophocles that was not serious had
come down to us.

eat their lunches and take a rest when
they go on their walking trips are being
made by the students Of Normal School

well to build a place Of their own.
