A CUP OF TEA.
II Plays Curious Part In Chinese
Business Etiquette,

When salesman or person seeking
business interview presents his card
at the entrance to a Chinese mer-
chants place of business the posi-
bility of an audience depends alto
gether upon how he deports himself
while awaiting the return Of the card
bearer Should he be so indiscreet as
to put one foot over the twelve inch
railing that intervenes between the
step and the doorway no manner Of
persuasion can prevail upon the mer-
chant to grant him an interview.
In case he waits patiently in the
space allotted to unknown callers this
fact is noted. and he is usually ush-
cred in.
Once In. there is still a more delicate
matter to be disposed of. and in case
the newcomer is ignorant of the Gus
tom he fares i'll with his errand I'm
mediately upon the callers entering
and taking seat a servant brings a
serving of tea, which includes small
cup for each person present. The
point of etiquette demands that this
tea shall not be touched until the guest

A Xmas Hobby,

The late king of Siam had an extraor-
binary hobby-that of collecting empty
matchboxes of all nations. In this
connection an interesting story is re-
lated. During one of his visits to Eng
land the king while passing down Bond
street one afternoon. accompanied by
two members Of his suit. espied an
empty matchbox which had been dis
carded by Its owner and thrown away
into the middle Of the thoroughfare
Without a moments thought the mon

crowded traffic, grasped the much COW

that he was able to add a new speci-

such circumstances more than COM

Gothic Architecture.

ninth century after Christ and soon
began to spread all over Europe. Its
great feature is the pointed arch, and
it was at first called the pointed

cathedrals are in the Gothic. and it
is generally conceded that for religious
purposes no other style Of architecture
is so perfectly suited. 1t has been said
that the first idea Of the Gothic was

and trunks of the great woods in which
German Christianity was formed;
hence the name Gothic.-New York

MOSCOW CATHEDRAL.

Ivan the Terrible.
One of the most extraordinary and
fantastic Christian places of worship
In the world Is the Cathedral of Mos
COW, known as Vasili Blajenni. strange
not only in outline and conception, but
even stranger in it's history. No one
knows the architects name, but the
story goes that the car ordered his
eyes to be put out directly the church
was completed. so that he should nev-
err be able to surpass his work. The
idea Of the building was inspired by
the wickedest and maddest monarch
who ever sat on throne-Ivan the
Terrible, czar of Muscovy.
The architecture is in every respect
extravagant and barbaric, and the col
oring Is garish in the extreme. It has
nine chapels, rooted by nine cupolas,
each different and each stranger than
the other. One resembles a pineapple,
another a melon, third is said to ape
a hedgehog in its appearance, and the
rest are more or less grotesque. Some
are gilt; others are painted in brilliant
hues. Indeed. the only description is

DlSLlKES INNOVATIONS.

Hence the Rhino Blndly Attacks Any
thing New to Him.
Sir Frederick Treves, the distinguish
ed British surgeon, in his book "Ugan-
da For Holiday" has word or two
to say about the rhinoceros.
1.-THE rhinoceros is the embodiment
Of blind conservatism" he writes. Its
hide is impenetrable, it's vision is weak,
while its intellect is weaker. 1t has,
however, two marked qualities-com-
bativeness and a sense Of smell. It is
aroused to its maximum energy by the
presence Of anything that is new. This
object need not be a thing that is ag-
gressive or inconvenient. Its offensive
ness depends upon the fact that it Is
unfamiliar, and the more unfamiliar
the object Is the worse the rhinoceros
Gets.
when a rhinoceros smells a man he
will charge him with maniacal vio-
lence, although the man may be mere
" sitting on stool reading Milton.
The massive beast will dash at him
IKE a torpedo or a runaway locomo-
tive simply because the smell Of him
b novel. Actuated by this insane hate
Of whatever savors Of an innovation,
the rhinoceros has charged an iron wa
ter tank on the outskirts Of q camp
and has crumpled 1t up as blacksmith
would an empty meat tin.

but with no more serious results than

and an increased swelling of the head"

OUR NATURAL SAVAGERY.
1t Will at Times Break Through the
Veneer of Civilization.

It's mighty short step from modern
civilization to the natural impulses of
ancient savagery. If you don't believe
1t just watch some time. and you'll
see small boy-or a grown man-dis-
cover a rabbit
The first thought that comes into his
mind is to kill the rabbit. Quickly he
searches his mind to see where a
weapon can be found
The second thought is to secure a
rock to throw at it, just as some cave
man might.
A man finds a snake coiled in the
road. 1t may be harmless snake,
but It's snake, and therefore his
primitive instinct calls upon him to
kill It.
A weapon. He seeks about for a
club, just as his ancient, skin clothed
ancestors would have done, and, hav-
Ing secured the club, he dispatches
the snake, his soul singing with tri.
umph.
Modern civilization probably would
have urged the man to cut a forked
stick and catch the snake by the neck
with It, then to secure 10 cents worth
Of chloroform and kill it swiftly and
painlessly But he goes after the club
just as naturally as if he had never
seen steam heated fat or ridden on
astrolley car or seen an automobile.
Children roam in the woods and eat
every variety Of berry they can find
1t matters not If they be poisonous
They taste them all from the looks.
and the amount eaten depends on the
taste. This is probably what the cave
children did, and the modern infants
show the same intelligent caution re-
garding what they put In their mouths.
It's that way all through. We may
have acquired more or less thick
veneer Of modern civilization, but let
emergencies arise and we're as prilni-
tive as the most primitive of our an
cestors.-Galveston News.

Practical Farmers

Many men boast of being "prac-
tical' farmers. Many of these men
use one horse plows. buy ready mixed
fertilizers. plant scrub seed, grow
one third bale cotton per acre, keep
scrub stock and so on. Such men are
anything but practical farmers. Prac-
teal men are the men who make the
most successful practicable men
who obtain the maximum yields on
their farms at the lesat expense and
at the same time increase the fertili-
ty of their soil.
A scientific farmer is practical
farmer. A scientific farmer farms
light. "A man is not practical farm

less about the practical farmer.

farmers are the only practical farm

A GOOD MIRROR

The newspaper calling is gradually
coming into It's own. That the country
newspaper, in its general makeup,
advertising, news articles, etc., re.
fleets the real sentiments of the com
munity in which it IL published is as
true today as it ever was. Samuel
Bowles, a northern publisher, in a
recent address. said:
IL appears to me that the average
young man in college about to choose
his profession and considering Jour
nalism among those that are open to
him is liable to overlook or to fail to
sufficiently regard the exceptional
civic and social responsibilities and
the corresponding opportunities for
service that attach to the newspaper
calling. To my mind there is no in
dustrial or professional occupation
that so constantly and SO Justly de-
mands from those engaged in it a
conscientious attention to the public
welfare as newspaper production.
While in the strictly economic sense
1T is merely a manufacturing indus
try, in its social and moral aspects
1t is profession involving the
weightiest obligation. | think, there
fore. that young men should not en-
bark in it who do not feel distinct
call of duty to serve their fellows.
The first qualifications necessary
for success in journalism are charac-
ter. self control. the capacity to see
things straight and the strength
which enables u man to pursue stead
tasty the course of reason and to re-
slst wrong impulse and passion. In
dustrious habits are likewise essen
tial. for successful newspaper work
involves hard, persistent, patient la
Dor and often long hours and great
nervous and physical strain. 1t is OF
vious, too, that journalism demands
keen intellect, n good memory, n
talent for detail and accuracy and vet
a breadth of view that enables n man
to see large things in large way
in word. brains, the best type of
mental machinery that man of char
acter can develop.
