An accredited ambassador is wholly
free from the jurisdiction Of the courts

country to which he is sent. His house
is as sacred as his person. 1t is re-

Of the country which sent him. 1t

than a town could be occupied by the
soldiery of another nation. This protec-
ton Is extended to the inmates Of the
house. II a wrong is committed by
some one in the employ of an en-
bassy, in any capacity, the only means
Of redress is an appeal to the ambas-
sador or to the government which sent
him. and which viii not. 1t is sup
posed, allow a wrong to be sheltered
under the peculiar privileges granted

Body Of an italian In
PIeasantvIlIe.

White Plains, N. Y.-Following the
discovery Of the body of an unidenti-
fed man in a lake on Ophir Farm,
the country place Of Whitelaw Reid,
on the outskirts of White Plains. last
week, the body Of another man who
had been murdered was found in a
lonely part of Pleasantville. Coroner
Squires and Sheriff Doyle were unable
to find anything to indicate the iden-
tity of the body found.
The man, who had been dead long
time, had two stab wounds in the
neck. 1t is believed that both men
were Italians. The body at Pleasant

The dead man was lying on his back.
AS soon as Mr.. Rhoades came to the
body the dog ran away and has not

man was murdered in some other
place and the body brought to the
spot where 1t was found. Hundreds
of Italians are employed in the con

TASTING WINE FOR LIVING
Strange Calling Followed by Women

OF the list of strange callings fol.
lowed by women that of wine tasting
is one of the most curious and lucra-
tive. AS a matter of fact. Nile. Col
linere, whose services are in great de-
mand in France, Germany and Italy
as a wine faster, is said to make an
income of about $4,000 a year. many
firms employing her for regular work
and frequently for special duty.
Only half a dozen wine tasters have
been known to history. the most re-
nowned of these being the wife OF a
famous London wine merchant, Nine.

years ago, and Signora Sousa. who has
a great reputation in Spain on ac-
count of her judgment and knowledge

OF a rare and delicate palate. To
this, O. course, must be added knowl-

is so fine and her knowledge of wines
such that she can discern from the
first taste of wine just where the

BRUIN OBTAINS HIS SUPPER
Hunter Describes the Clever Work Of
a Hungry Bear In Catching
a Salmon.

One year, the berries being de-
stroyed, many bears visited the river
for fish. / was walking up the river
shore one evening about sunset watch
ing for a deer. Rounding a bend l
saw, perched upon a fiat rock some
few feet from the shore, large black
bear. / could not tell at first what he
was doing. He was STOPPING down
with one paw in the water waving 1t
gently to and fro. l watched closely
and saw, Just beyond his reach. a
large male salmon. so nearly dead
that he could not swim. The bear
was using his paw to create an eddy
which would draw the fish within his
grasp. Slowly the salmon drifted to-
ward the rock.
1t was amusing to watch how care
fully the bear moved his paw so as
not to frighten his prey. At last the
fish came within reach. BruiD reached
over, gave it quick slap, seized 1t In
his jaws and leaped ashore. The whole
performance tickled me so that let
him go of, the salmon dangling In his
mouth, without even taking a shot at
him.-Charles Stuart MOODY In the

rhumbs In Social customs.

Few persons realize how important
a role the thumb has played in the
social customs of the people.
Erskine records that among certain
classes of people in Scotland the final
settlement of bargain was always
signalized by the licking and joining
of thumbs.
Selden says that kissing the thumb
was a characteristic of servility. The
clergy, the rich and the great. were In
receipt of this honor from tradesmen.
From remotes times the practice of
licking the thumb has been regarded
as a solemn pledge or promise, exist
ing, according to Tacitus and others.

Moors, and it may also be traced
through successive periods down to
the present time.

TO RESTORE GARDEN

Landscape Is Considered lie Notre's
Masterplece-It Has Particularly
Of Giving the Impression OF
Being Perfect Work of Art.

Paris, France.-Important works
are in progress at Versailles in the
restoration of the Orangerie. These
are expected to be terminated shortly.
Since, therefore, the great gardener
lie Notre again occupies public opin-
ion it is permissible to expatiate upon
the beauties of the gardens at Yer
sailles. which are unquestionably his
masterpiece.
Designed as they are with consum-
mate art, these gardens are always
charming, though nowhere in them is
there a trace of abandonment or
fancifulness. They have the particu-
larity of giving the impression of be-
ing a perfect work by reason Of the
art, judgment and wit expended upon
them. and for this reason such poets
as Alfred de Musset have never been
able to admire their precise. stiff and
rather solemn style. But. on the 9th
er~hand, their beauty is one that en-
dJfes, over which the years slide with
out Barking it with shadow Of de-
crepitude or with a wrinkle. and
which ends by triumphing over all
the caprices of taste, fashion and
time.
There is famous point in the gar
dens of Versailles-this Is the one
chosen by Louis XIV himself to af-
ford his visitors an opportunity OF ad-
miring his vast domains. This point
is In the axis of the Tapis Vert, at the
foot of the Parterre de Latone. From
1t one can embrace in a magnificent
view the perspective Of the Chateau,
the park and the Grand Canal.

action OF the state police In preventing
the exchange Of the wife Of one Of the

OTIS would rather barter than eat A
patriarch had INDUCED his propensity
of swapping until he had nothing left
but his clothing and his wife. In ex-
change for horse he gave his wife
to his brother The horse was worth
1--WE dollars. Twelve hours later the
patriarch snapped the horse for an
other horse. His brother took the
woman 20 Brooklyn. and his efforts to
swap her for anything Of equal value
attracted the attention Of the police.
They made the patriarch take his wife
back, but the brother protested that
the exchange was made In good faith.

many of these stand today as monu-

them UP among the Indians and there
preached the gospel. One Of the most
interesting of these early churches is
located on the edge of Burrow Flat
in the Sacramento National forest in
New Mexico. This Is a solitary re-

How He Treated Her.

A certain osteopath was treating a
young woman who had very weak
ankles and wrists. AS she lived in a
town quite a distance from his own
city, he was forced to leave the city
Saturday of each week and go to the
town in which the young woman
lived, give her the treatment Sunday,
and return to the Office Monday. A
friend once asked the osteopath how
he had arranged to give the young
woman the treatment for her ankles
and wrists when she lived at such a
distance. and the osteopath replied:
-Oh. go out and treat her week
ends."-Lippincott's Magazine.
