MANNERS WAIT ON LEISURE
Modern Day DIseourtesy Seemingly
the Result Of the Universal
"Rush."

The young lady who described q
burglar the other day as perfect
gentleman" wasn't very far wrong.
For burglars are among the few per,
sons who can afford the time to be
perfect gentlemen.
Gentle manners have had, their high,
est development in periods when time
was Of smallest Importance. The
elaborate code OF the French courts
was the substance OF ease. 1t was
bred with the care which only leisure
can provide. The gallantry Of the
ante-bellum South was as famous as
the ante-bellum hospitality. The one
cost nothing OF time as the other cost
nothing in effort. While people have
been struggling and humping and
showing In IL" and subway trains In
New York, the people who rode in the
crosstown horse carS-relics of an cas-
Ter decade-have been practicing a
politeness which, by contrast with the
boorishness 80 painfully evident else
where, was touching and exquisite
The patrons Of the horse cars were
those with time to spare.
The rush OF modern American life is
not an excuse for bad manners. But
1t is an explanation. We cannot preach
economy of time without forcing
economies in other things-and among
these are thoughtfulness and consider
alton.

CURES WROUGHT BY CHINESE

Of diagnosis Is very simple. A won.

how many thousand years his race
has understood the human body and

goes forth with great faith in the
learned Chinese and the medicine he
has given her, which Is usually harm
less enough, but not to be found
among the remedies approved by ma.

However, the Chinese doctors are
clever. and they do effect some cures
in spite Of their medicine. Lay it.,

SWEETEST OF ALL PLANTS
South American Shrub Has Proper
ties That Put Sugar Completely
In tho Shade.

II has been suggested that what
nay turn out to be the great sugar
producing plant of the future is a
1warfish shrub found In South Amer.
Ca. Its botanical name Is Eupato-
rum rebandium. and. 1t is said. the
results Of careful experiments indi
cate that It yields a sugar from twen-
ty to thirty times as sweet as ordi-
nary cane or beet sugar. One ad-
vantage claimed for the sugar de.
rived from this plant Is that 1t occu.
pies, In proportion to Its sweetering
powers. less than one-twentieth OF the
bulk OF ordinary cane sugar.
The world today uses more than
twice the amount OF sugar that 1t
did quarter of a century ago. The
people Of the United States consume
great deal more sugar, In one form
or another. than those OF any other
nation. 1t is surprising to learn that
In Europe sugar was used at first only
at feasts and for medicinal purposes.
At the close Of the seventeenth CEN
tury the sugar industry in France was
monopoly controlled by the apothe-
carries. Its introduction as an article

Mistake Cost $4,000, 900.

paper once cost this country nearly

10, 1862. Then. and not till then,
suspicion Of its true character was

KEEPS HENS AT THEIR WORK
Simple Contrivance Used by Western
Man Cures Them Of Desire
to "Set."

Owners of hens are frequently
greatly annoyed by the persistent de
sire of their fowls to set, in season
jects to hand. But western man has
evolved a plan to circumvent the hen
In this respect.
The cure consists Of cheap watch
with loud and clear tick, inclosed In
case that is white and shaped like
an egg. When one of the hens be-
longing to this westerner manifests a
desire to set out of season he gently
places the bogus egg under her shell.
tering breast. The egg" ticks cheer.
fully away, and soon the hen begins to
evince signs of uneasness and stirs
the noisy egg around with her bill,
thinking, no doubt, that 1t is already
time for it to hatch. She becomes
more and more uneasy as the noise
continues, and soon jumps OF the nest
and runs about while to cool of.
Soon, however, she returns to her self
imposed task. Matters get worse and
worse; she wiggles about and cackles,
ruf1les her feathers and generally
shows distress. Finally, with wild
squawk, she abandons the nest for
good and all, and the incubating fever
Is broken completely.
The westerner has found use for
half a dozen of these noisy eggs. and
he claims that they pay for themselves
again and again during the. year by
holding the hens to their business OF
laying and preventing them from vast.
ing the golden hours in useless incu.
