Bradshaw and the Months.
York Sun

Although the provision -. v" has
never figured on railway time tables. a
close examination of Bradshaw re-
veals a trace OF strong religious feels
ing. On the cover the months are re-
ferred to by their numerals" mo-"
for January, I'D mo-" for February
and so on Bradshaw as a Quaker OBJ
jected TO taking the names of the
months from heathen emperors and
deities, and this prejudice has been
perpetuated since the first issue Of the
time table IL 1S41.--London Answers.

Mistars Are Seoond Class.

Though one cannot decide what is a
lady by rule of thumb there are GER
tain kindred problems that can be
solved in that way, and the railway
company knows how to solve them.
Are you, for instance. an esquire or
only a plain mister? The railway com
pany can tell at once If you hold a
second class season ticket any letter
comes addressed to Mr.. Blank. but II
you rise to first class you become
at once A. Blank, Esq. That is where
the railway has the pull over the mo
torbus, on which there are no classes. =

CUZC0 AND THE lNcAS.
Peru's Ancient City Was on the Plan
of the Roman Camp.

The ancient city of Cuzco, when first
viewed by European eyes. was, accord
ing to the best authorities. great and
wealthy municipality Of perhaps 200.-
600 souls. How old it was at that time
we have scant means of knowing
Garcilasso would have us believe that
there were only thirteen Incas In the
royal family line from Nance Capac
to Huayna Capac. Montesinos. on the
other hand assures US that the Incas
ruled thousand years! Which are we
to believe? No written history of the
race exists-only the records of the
Juipus, those queer knotted strings
which were the Incas' sole documents
and for which no archaeologist has as
yet discovered the key. the Rosetta
stone.
Cuzco's original plan was singulariy
enough. that Of the Roman camp.
quadrangle divided by two intersecting
streets into quarters. with gate on
zach face and towers at the angles.
The Incas, like the citizens OF the
United States, had no more definite
name for their country than Tavan-
tinsuya, the Empire Of the Four Prov.
inces. The four streets OF the capital,
prolonged by great roads, divided it
into four main provinces. each under
the dominion Of it's governor When
their people came to Cuzco they lodged
In their own quarter, where they ad-
hered to their national costumes and
the customs of their own province.
The city today retains the same
general plan, its two principal streets
being virtually the old main thorough
fares. Its two eastern quarters lie
upon steep hilsides: the two western
are In the valley. where runs a little
river, the Huatanay, spanned by
bridges.

COOK WITHOUT FIRE.
New Zealand Maoris Prepare Their
Food In Natures Kitchens.


Food In Natures Kitchens.
The Maoris of northern New Zea-
land enjoy cooked food to far great
er extent than other natives, but they
Deyer bother with fire. They build
their huts on the edge of some friend
ly" geyser. where they may cook in
natures kitchen The methods of this
primitive people living in so strange
a neighborhood are described by Max
Herr in New Zealand.
On a spot which superstition would
associate with death and the devil the
huts of about 200 Maoris lie scattered
the remnant of the once warike tribe
simple folk need no kitchen. for ma
ture has built for them the best of all
cooking appliances and saved them
endless trouble with the stove, gas
company or coal merchant
A pond of boiling water lies in the
middle of the settlement In this the
Maori woman puts her water kettle to
boil or hangs the wide meshed fax
bag filed with potatoes and waits un-
til they are cooked. True, the potatoes
cooked in their skins taste little of
sulphur but that is the right flavor for
a Maori paate-the haut gout for the
brown gourmet
For the cooking of meats the fuma-
roles, or holes through which steam
escapes from the ground, are used. A
box with a wooden grating for a bot
ton is placed on the ground over the
hole In this the Maori woman places
the meat, well covered with tin or iron
pots An old sugar bag is then spread
over the box, and the crude apparatus
is left until the imprisoned steam has
completely cooked the joint

a Famous I-amnoon.

1t is handed down in tradition that
the caustic comment "he never says a
foolish thing nor ever does wise one
was written In Whitehall on the cham
ber door of King Charles ii. The wit
who created the lampoon seems never
to have felt it quite prudent to estab-
lish his authorship, but there is ex-
cellent reason to accord it to John
Wilmot, earl of Rochester. The text
of the inscription is:
Here lies our sovereign lord the king,
Whose word no man relies on.
He never says a foolish thing
Nor ever does a wise one

aristocratic houses in London that
when servants in the same household
became engaged to be married they
were promptly dismissed. Charlotte
could hardly believe this but John as
sured her that it was so
At last Charlotte took her courage in
two hands and, dragging the trembling
John behind her. advanced into the
awesome presence OF "the marquee"
