Speaking Alona q Line.

About sixty-five years ago the en-
ployees Of a large mandatory passed
their leisure hours by flying kites.
Kites Of all sizes and descriptions went
up daily, and the strife was to see
which could get his up the highest
The Irvine that held them high up IN
the air was the thread spun and twist
ed by the women in the village. One
day, just for sport, the employees sew
ed kitten in q canvas bag, allowing
an opening for air, and tied the bag
to the tail Of the largest and strongest
kite. When the kite was at its great.
est height, some 200 or more feet from
the ground, the mewing Of the kitten
could be distinctly heard by those hold
ing the string. This is the first known
account Of speaking along a line.
There was no electric or scientific in
strument used, yet 1t was a sort Of
telephone. To the clearness of the at
mosphere was attributed the hearing
Of the kittens voice.

Orders of Eaulas.

The eagle is. of course. a favorite
decoration in several countries. The
premier order of Prussia is the Black
Eagle, which not only confers heredi-
tary nobility on the recipient, but.
strange to say, the Grand Cross Of the
Red Eagle Order also. Hereditary no.
bility is also conferred by the White
Eagle Of Russia. once the premier Pol
ish order. but now third on the Rus
sian roll. Servia also boasts White
Eagle order. created by Milan l. in
1882 to commemorate the proclaiming
Of the Servian kingdom. Two Eagle
orders have now disappeared. The

1918 merged in the Order Of the Crown.

ANOTHER OPERATION.

NJ. ]. Rooney, the popular chief clerk
to Mayor Behrman, was compelled to
undergo another operation at Hotel
Dieu on last Thursday morning, and
while the operation was not a serious
one, it was very painful and may ne.
cessitate Mr.. Rooney remaining in the
hospital little longer than he had an.
ticipated. He expects, however, to be
back at his post in about thirty days.
Mr.. Rooney no doubt has received
more callers at Hotel Dieu than any
other patient they have had for many
years, which attests his popularity.
Mike has made many friends in AL
giers who witch for him a permanent
recovery.

A Whip For the Bride.

There are some queer customs In the
cold country Of Russia. When the
groom goes to get his bride on the
wedding day he finds himself confront
ed by the girls brother If she has one
The brother is standing with drawn
sword, threatening the groom.
"You shall not take her unless you
pay me WELL" the brother cries, and
the young man must pay before he can
take the girl to the ceremony. Then
during the ceremony. after the various
ring services-there are many of them
the bride presents the groom with a
whip she has made. He takes it and
strikes her gently with it, saying:
81 love thee as my soul | beat thee
as my serf. l am thy master. Thou
art to obey me-"
The bride. after the ceremony and at
the reception. must wear all the dress
es In her trousseau, one after the 9th
er. Fancy the work this would mean
for some of our American heiresses.-

markable natural grottoes in Europe.
1t Is situated on the island of Staffa.
about seven miles off the west coast
OF Null, Scotland. The cavern is DOT
feet deep, AZ feet wide at the entrance
and 62 feet high at the opening at time
OF low tide. Tide has a great deal to
DO with the size and dimensions Of
Fingafs cave. because it Is eminently
a sea grotto. The oceans waters are
always the floor Of the cavern. At time
OF very lowest tide there is twenty feet
OF water in the cave. 1t can be readily

NO DANGER FROM WAITED

when going to press Wednesday at
noon it was reported from the very
best authority that the levee at Ames.
vile, just above Gretna, would not
hold much longer, and that a crevasse
could be expected. These reports
caused a great deal of excitement, es-
pecially when it became known that
the Southern Pacific had moved some
500 men to that point to help fight
back the water.
The Herald at once called Mayor
Behrman by phone, who was then at
the Progressive Union in the interest
of that particular stretch of levee.
Mayor Behrman stated that there will
be no danger from a break at this
point as affects Algiers as there is a
protection levee all around the town
connecting with the protection levee
in back of Grtna. Mayor Behrman
made personal inspection of our back
levee yesterday afternoon and will
make the necessary recommendations
to our levee board.

Hats Worn at Table.

Seventeenth century etiquette pre-
scribed that hats should be worn at
table. THE Rules of Civility. or Ger.
tain Ways Of Department" published
In 1878, gives some directions on this
point. Under the supposition that "a
person Of quality detains you to dine
with him" 1t is laid down that when
the person invited is seated he must
keep himself uncovered till the rest
sit down and the person Of quality has
put on his hat. - If the person of
honor drinks health to you, you must
be sure to be uncovered. If he speaks
to you, you must likewise be uncov-
cred till you have answered him. II
one rises from the table before the
rest he must pull off his hat"
A trace Of this etiquette fingers in
the house of commons. where a mem
Der is always allowed to wear his hat
only when seated.-London Graphic.

Curious Turkish Food.

\ Three singular preparations of grape
juice are known in Turkey. One con
sists Of sheets resembling leather, made
by evaporating grape juice to the con-
sistency Of molasses, then mixing -four
with 1t and drying it on cotton cloth in
the sunshine.
Another is in cakes half an inch
thick. It is made by using coarse
wheat grits instead Of -four to mix
with the grape molasses and is dried
on metal plates
A still more savory preparation is
made by stringing walnut meats on
Irvine and then immersing the strings
thus formed in The mixture of flour
and grape juice. When coated about
quarter Of an inch thick the strings
are hung up to dry.-New York Trib-

About Temperature.

The best authorities on the science
Of meteorology tell us that without the
various changes in the temperature
there would be a perfect calm at all
times In all parts Of the globe. A uni
form and unvarying barometric pres
sure would everywhere prevail. and
there would be no changes of seasons.
no evaporation or condensation, no
clouds and no rain. In short, without
changes Of temperature which we
sometimes think so uncomfortable the
atmosphere would soon become poison
Gus, stagnant and incapable of sus-
tanning human life.
