more generous, for II the rooms are
empty they make no extra charge.
And the traveller lives to recount when
he is back on his native heath how his
cheek pressed the same pillow that
had been used by the little queen OF
Holland or the king Of Saxony. But
that is not purely European custom,
for to this day in certain Boston ho-
tel the sacred chamber occupied by
Prince Henry of Prussia is listed at
about $40 day more than any other
room in the house.
Most American travellers on their
first trips abroad are astounded when
upon the day of their departure from
a hotel they are presented with their
bill by the head waiter instead Of by
the landlord or by his chief clerk. But
it is the custom and this important in
dividual is thus assured of his tip.
The traveller thinks it a little
strange that coffee is always extra at
luncheon and dinner, but when he or
ders coffee, at an average Of or 6
cents extra, the cup, 1t is freshly made
expressly for him and is not the cof-
fee that has stood for hours In the
pot. Another thing that strikes him
as funny is the fact that there are ele-
vators to go up. but that he cannot
use them to go down. One European
sign in small hotel reads: mo one
is allowed to descend in the elevator
but invalids and the aged" In the
larger hotels the lifts are used as
they are in America. but so leisurely
are they that one usually prefers to
run downstairs on shank's mare.
Economy in lights is another trait,
and where, as usual, there are two
electric lights in the room. one over
the bed to read by and another in
the ceiling, one cannot be turned on
without turning the other off. But a
young American engineer solved the
difficulty by unscrewing the porcelain
cap of the switch and sticking in a
hairpin to make the connection. He
had two lights, and no one was ever
never troubled him at all; it was one
of those elastic ones you read about.
1t does not take long to remember,
after you once know, that if you
want to buy salt in Italy you must go
to a tobacco shop to get It; for both
salt and tobacco are government mo-
nopolies. And 1t is pleasure to learn
that in France you can buy stamps
and postcards at tobacco shops, which
are under government Jurisdiction
there as we'll. Also that in both coun-
tries you can send kilograms at as low
a rate as IA cents for ten words, and
that special delivery letters will go
for 6 cents in Paris If you remember
to write across your envelope "Pneu-
matique," which means that the letter
will be shunted through pneumatic
tube in no time at all. and delivered
almost as soon as telegram.

RENEWED INTEREST IN LIFE
Something Really happened at ReceP-
tion, and Old Attendant Is
Encouraged.

The guests at Mrs. Arthur Mize's
tea yesterday afternoon detected an
odor of something burning. They
looked at each other knowingly and
said: Poor Mrs. Mize, something is
burning up in the kitchen" But the
odor grew stronger, and at last one
woman said: 1T smells as though
feathers are burning" Then sudden
ly one woman screamed: Mrs. Chal-
liss, look at your hat!" Sure enough,
Mrs. Jim Challiss had been standing
near a lighted candle, and the 'aigrette
on her hat was on fire.
The guests had great time putting
out the fire. The aigrette was what
the insurance men call total loss.
An Atchison woman who has gone to
thousands of receptions says the burn
ing of the aigrette yesterday is the
first time she ever knew anything to
really happen at a reception. She
has given up going because nothing
ever happened, but now will start In
over again.-Atchison Globe.

AS Waists Used to Be.

A London paper prints an article
from the ladies' treasury of 1866, in
which prize is offered for the woman
with the smallest waist in proportion
to her size. A silk dress was the first

In the school in which the prize was
offered by the principal the pupils
were required to sleep in corsets,
which could, however, be loosened
when retiring.

was made of the needs of the soil,
which is the foundation Of success.
He went to oranges, Institutes and
field meetings and learned what he
could of agriculture. Learned to grow
corn for ensilage, and built silo. He
believes in such a thing as balanc-
ed ration for cattle. A COW is doing
more work than any animal under the
sun. No gasoline engine can give
milk. No engine can produce an egg,
save the engine known as hen. Mr..
Daniels then explained his system of
rotation of crops, from rye to clover
and to corn, sowing 10 acres Of each
one year and then changing the crops
on each lot the next year, and SO on.
He also spoke of his method of Gull
tivating grass lands, by breaking up
the sod with a cut away harrow, and
sowing certain quantity of clover
and red top seed. This part Of his
discourse was very interesting to the
farmers present and they asked him
many questions. Mr.. Daniels feeds g
cattle ensilage in summer as well as
winter. He spoke highly Of alfalfa
as a crop and advised farmers to grow
it. He said he sowed his land with
IL ton to the acre of burnt lime and
some potash. There were many valu-
able points in his remarks which pro-
duced more than passing impression.
