Real Literary Crumbs.

The librarian opened the book wide
and shook it hard.
Looking for possible love letters
and mementos?" a visitor asked.
"NO; breadcrumbs," said the libra
rian. Subsequent readers do not
mind love letters. but they do object
to breadcrumbs. Half the books
brought back have crumbs tucked
away between the leaves. That shows
what studious town we are. Our
people are so enamored of literature
that they can't stop reading long
enough to eat; also it shows what a
lonely town we are. Only people who
live alone a great deal read anything
except the newspaper at mealtime
And it shows what a slovenly town we
are. In the interests Of hygiene and
aesthetics those voracious readers who
cram their heads and their stomachs
at the same time ought to clean their
books of crumbs, but they never do

BIRTH OF A LETTER.
The Way Nv" Came to Take the Place
of tho Old "VV."

OF tno Olo Wv
The printers and language makers of
the latter part of the sixteenth CEN
tury began to recognize the fact that
there was a sound in spoken English
which was without a representative in
the shape of an alphabetical sign or
character. as in the first sound in the
word wet
Prior to that time it had always been
spelled as vet" the having the long
sound of or of two us together. In
order to convey an idea of the new
sound they began to spell such words
as wet" weather" web" etc, with
two us. and as the of that date was
a typical the three words above look
ed like this: "Vvet" weather"
''vveb."
After awhile the typefounders recog.
nized the fact that the double had
come to stay. so they joined the two us
together and made the character now
so well known as W. There are books
in which three forms of the w are Civ
en-. The first is an old double WV;
the next is one in which the last stroke
of the first crosses the first stroke of
the second. and the third is the com.
mon W we use today.

Hindu Caste.

The four grades of society among the
Hindus are the Brahmans or sacerdo-
tai class. who are said at the moment
of creation to have issued from the
mouth of Brahma; the Kshatrya or
Chuttsee or military class. sprung from
the arm of Brahma; the Vaisya or Bais
or mercantile class, from the thigh of
Brahma, and Sudras or Sooders or
servile class, from the foot of Brahma.
The business of the Sudras is to serve
the three superior classes more espe-
cially the Brahmans. Their condition
is never to be improved. They are not
to accumulate property and are unable
by any means to approach the dignity
of the higher classes. These divisions
are hereditary, impossible and inde-
feasible.

Strenuous Career of William Walker.
the Noted Flibuster..
William Walker, the noted filibuster
and soldier of fortune. was born in
Nashville, Tenn, on May 8, 1924. For
a time he was an editor in New Or
leans and in 1850 went to California.
In the summer of 1853 he Organized
an expedition for the conquest of the
MiXican state of Sonora. He captured
several small towns; but, his provisions
and ammunition running short, he
crossed the border into the United
States and surrendered to the govern
ment officials. He was tried at San
Francisco for violating the neutrality
laws. but was acquitted.
Walkers next venture was an inva-
sion of Nicaragua. where he was for a
time successful and had himself pro-
claimed president. Later he was driven
from the country, Late in 1858 he
started with force of adventurers for
Honduras, but a shipwreck caused a
suspension of the expedition.
In June, 1860, he made a second at

LAYING OUT A ROAD.

Was Done Right.

Billings Was In No Hurry, So the Work
Was Done Right.
A good many years ago @. X. G. Bill
nngs, who made his millions in Chi
.ago gas, bought a good sized plot of
ground on the heights overlooking the
Hudson river at the upper end Of Man
haitian Island. Some time later he put
up a house which still remains the
pride of ''seeing New York" guides.
When the land had been bought the
question arose as to the best means of
laying out roadway up the steep and
rocky hill, at the crest of which the
house was to stand. Mr.. Billings was
puzzled. He wanted to make it as easy
a climb as he could. He mentioned the
problem to his friend W. G. Muschen-
helm, New York hotel proprietor. Mr..
Muschenheim, who was familiar with
the hills and dales of that part of New
York. gave the following advice:
"You aren't in any great hurry, so
why don't you have it done right? Put
one of your cows on that land and give
her time to lay out path up that hill.
Trust her to find the easiest and most
comfortable grade"
Mr. Billings followed the suggestion.
and in the course of time the COW
made path which has long since been
developed into a permanent. winding,
slowly ascending roadway.-Saturday

The Way spaniards Smoke.

The Spaniards are the most expert
smokers in the world. A native takes
heavy pull at his cigarette. inhales
the smoke, takes up wine skin or bot
tie, pours half a pint down his throat,
holding the vessel foot from his
mouth, without spilling drop. and
then. with a sigh Of satisfaction. closes
his eyes and eXhaes the smoke from
his nose and mouth in clouds. He will
also inhae the smoke, converse for a
few minutes in natural manner and
then blow out the smoke.

TALE OF 4 ROYAL RELIC.
Wln=JOw Panes Upon Which Henry Of
Navarro Had Not Written.

Navarro Had Not Written.
Mrs. Andrew Lang. writing in Black
woods, tells of a Erenchman in whose
chateau was a window on which Henry
". had once scratched the inscription:
"Dieu garde de NAL ma mie; Ce % de
Septembre, 15S9.-Henry." The inscrip-
ton when NJ. Eudel first saw it was in
two lines of big. clumsy letters. Two
years later, being again in the neigh
borhood. he revisited the chateau.

the inscription was now in three lines.
with the letters much more nearly uni
form. After some effort he got hold Of
the secret. For forty years the inscrip-
ton on the window had been the
guides pride and pleasure till, in one
fatal moment of inattention on his
part, an Englishman had cut the pane
of glass out of its setting and walked
away with it in his pocket
The poor guide hurried to tell his
master what had befallen him. The
owner of the chateau assured him that
the accident was Of no consequence
and could soon be put right And so it
was! A piece of glass of the same tone
as the other panes was procured and
fastened lightly in its place. The guide
received orders to turn his back so as
to allow visitors to read the inscrip-
tion-or. if they wished. to steal it.
But it was necessary for the man to
perceive in the nick of time what was
going on and only consent to shut his
eyes on the receipt of handsome tip

pOrtatiOn Is everywhere possible.
A great deal of the business of the
country is now done by automobiles.
There are more than 400 in use and more
are added every day. There were some
thing ike hundredn new ones last year
There are regular lines OF freight and
passenger motor cars between the chief
cities. and regular automobile buses
run over. the military road from San Juan
TO Ponce. As 1t IS now, one can leave
San Juan after breakfast IN the morning
and be at Ponce, on the southern side OF
the island, for lunch 1t used to hustle
one to get there in two days.
The New Steam Roads.
When 1 was in Porto Rico, at the close
OF the war. there was only one steam
railway. This was made up OF short
strips running from San Juan around to
Ponce, with numerous breaks It was
part of a system that had been planned
to belt the island, but only bits OF which
had been built.
Since we have taken hold this road has
been improved and extended. The breaks
have been filled, and the steam cars now
run clear along the northern and west
ern ends of the island from San Juan
to Ponce, and from there to the port Of
Guayama. This completes four-fifths of
the circuit of the island, and, in addl-
ton, there are many short line railroads
which supply the sugar plantations.
very little more track would give roads
through all the coast lands OF Porto
Rico.
In 1898 the car service was miserable.
The passenger coaches were little better
than our box freight cars and 1t was
rare occasion when the dinky engine did
not break down. Today there are good
American locomotives and comfortable
passenger cars.
Steamships to Porto Rico.
Since the United States took hold of
Porto Rico the steamship lines connect
ing with it have steadily Improved New
ones have been added, and the island
has now steamers for all parts of the
world. The Wharfs OF San Juan and
Ponce are crowded with American
goods. There are now u different lines
which call at Porto Rico. The chief
ones going to the United States are the
New York and Porto Rico Steamship
line. the Red ID line and the lnsular
line The latter has three steamers I
which ply regularly between New York
and San Juan The Red d has five,

Dr.. Ashford Discovers the HOOkwoTm.
The presence of the parasite was dis
covered In 1900 by Mai. Bailey X. Ash
ford, a United States army surgeon, and
since then a great fight has gone on
against It, resulting in the cure of hun
dreds OF thousands and in combining ITS
ravages to the poorest classes OF laborers
who are far of in the mountains.
The discovery of this worm IN Porto
Rico led TO our knowledge of it in the
southern states and to the great hook
worm experiments which have been taken
under the Rockefeller fund to control It.
The first active hookwOrm campaign,
however. was undertaken by Nal Ash
ford in Porto Rico. and today there are
45 dispensaries scattered over the island
to which such patients come to be treat
ed, During the past year $1,000 men,
women and children have been dOctOred
at these dispensaries, and OF them 10000
have been completely cured and 1000
more are still improving under treatment.
in all the island more than 100000 have
been treatd and the hOokworm has been
practically wiped out of the towns and
villages.
The Deadly HOOkWOrm-
It is due to the work in Porto Rico
that we now know all about the hook
worm and how to control it. It Is be-
Iieved to have been brought there from
Africa at the time the first slaves were
imported. II is known to have existed
among the African pygmies, and it is
thought TO have come to Porto Rico in
1880. with the founding Of the first three
sugar plantations. The worm began its
work in the lowlsnds and gradually made
its way through the island. It is now
strongest in the mountains, and it is
found almost everywhere on the coffee
estates.
The hookwOrm comes from an egg
which matches out IN the earth d hours
after it Is laid. 1t is said to never
hatch anywhere else than in the earth,
and it is the worm itself that crawls
