Public Manners.

Some one has said that Of all people in
the world the Americans have the worst
manners in public. Whether this Is an
exaggeration or not our bad manners are
amply in evidence in most public places.
especially where-there are crowds. 1t Is
astonishing how even people of breeding
who in private intercourses are polite and
considerate, lose all regard for others
when the relations cease to be personal.
In short with a vast number Of people,
courtesy does not seem to be natural
thing. but something merely imposed by
custom and they lapse from 1t as soon as
their relations to their fellows cease to be
direct and personal. Even in the use Of
the telephone this lapse is noticeable.
People whose voices and manners are af-
fable in face-to-face conversation very
often answer their phone calls with a
curtness that would be positively resent
ed by any one who was directly addressed
in such tone.-Indiana Farmer.

THE HOUSE WREN.
A Good Little Friend That Should b
Protected From Sparrows.

A Good Little Friend That Should Do
Protected From sparrows.
A little friend worth having u the
wren. During its working hours It will
pry into hooks and crannieS about the
garden and orchard, picking up grass-
hoppers, spiders, beetles, thousand les-
ged worms-anything which isn't too
big for 1t to carry OF. When It II
through work it will perch on tho front
porch of it's little home, Lift it's head
and sing q warbling little song that
will delight your heart.
1t is called the house wren because it
prefers little box house for ito homo.
A generation ago it built nest In holes
In trees, in hollow fence rails or even
in an old hat. Then came the sparrow,
and the wren's nest was raided.
Since then the wren's only refuge %
In nest which has a door too small -
admit its enemy, the sparrow. II you
want the wren to spend a summer
with you build home with door not
more than an inch in diameter. This
will bar the sparrow and give tho
smaller bird easy entry.
Years of continuous lighting against
the sparrows has given tho wren q
temper like spoiled child. It rufdes
its feathers at the slightest Interrupt
ton. When it has its own way. with 4
good home and plenty to eat, it Is -
cheerful as Sunday school picnic

PENALTY OF A RHINE.


caustio coIIinehorns Paid For HE
wv. Taunt at Richard Ill.
Did you ever hear Of a spring poet
who came to his death because Of a
rime? Doubtless many spring poets
have merited the same fate, but In our
day Justice tarries and the world suf-
fers In silence.
:. It was not thus when Richard ILL.,,
last Of the Plantagenets, ruled Eng
land. In the main the people who did
not agree with the Duke Of Gloucester
were wise enough to keep their opin-
ions to themselves, but William Colling-
borne thought to stretch poetic license
to make 1t cover an attack on his mai
esty at time when the murder Of the
two princes in the Tower ought to have
taught prudence.
! The king was under the sway of
q beautiful and clever woman, Mrs.
Lowell, who was thought to dictate
much Of his policy, which was hope
lessly bad. Now, Collingborne had re-
course to the fact that the wolf dog
was called a "lovel," and so he penned
the famous rime, THE rat, the cat
and Lowell, our dog, rule all England I'M
der the hog" AS result, England was
decidedly ION the hog"
Did the rime escape the eagle eye
Of Gloucester? Well, If 1t did it was not
overlooked by the lady. That was a
year before the famous battle Of Bos-
worth, when the Earl of Richmond
came to the rescue Of his suffering peo-
pie. Richard had put down Bucking-
hams rebellion, and all the traitors
had paid the price with their heads, so
another head more or less did not mat
ter. Collingborne was summoned into
court, given a perfunctory trial and
sent to the block. However, there is no
evidence that he was punished for writ
ing atrocious poetry.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

SAVING OLD MANUSCRIPTS.
How Valuable Papers Arc Mendsd
and Mounted For Preserving,

How Valuable Papers Arc Mendsd
and Mounted For Preserving.
There are not fifty persons in the
United States who are skilled in the
preservation and repairing of old man
uscripts. One Of them, says the Uni
versity Of Wisconsin Bulletin, may be
found working on the third floor Of the
Wisconsin Historical library building
at Madison, one of the six or seven in
situations in the country that carry on
such work scientifically.
About a generation or two ago
priest in the Vatican library at Rome
originated and developed the process
now in use in the taking care Of old
papers. .....
The first thing done in the process of
preserving the letters Is to place them
between wet newspapers under
weight and leave them for five or six
hours This removes the creases and
the dirt Then they are put between
wood pulp boards and left twenty-four
hours and then between blotters to
complete the drying process. The next
step Is to repair the paper.
The paper of some of these letters is
30 old when received that 1t falls to
pieces If struck. This is strengthened
by a layer Of a sort Of transparent
cloth, on both sides of the piece Of pa
per. Other letters need mending along
the edges with parchment paper. To
cover holes a piece Of paper is glued
over the edges and is left larger than
the hole until dry. 1t is then cut down
to the proper size, and the edges are
sandpapered until smooth. After all
such repairs are made the letters are
mounted on large white sheets and pre-
pared for binding.

cURIONS MACkEREL.
Anybody Down This Way Seen EN-
With Rubber Bands7
Gloucester Times)


OF a large number Of 'mackerel with
rubber bands about their bodies,
which were sent out from the traps
and liberated by the United States
Bureau Of Fisheries at Provincetown
in July, 1914. only two have been
caught and both are now on exhibit
ton at the J. B. Blood Companys
stores in Lynn.
On Monday, July II, a mackerel
with a red rubber band was taken
from Barnstable Bay. It was fifteen
inches long and weighed one and a
quarter pounds. When released it
weighed a half-pound and was six
inches long.
Wednesday. July 10. another mack
eral with a rubber band was caught at
Wellfieet harbor. This one was II
inches long and weighed a pound and
a quarter. Both Ct the mackerel
have been in the water two years
since released by the Bureau Of Fish
cries. The rubber bands. which were
put about under the fms. have become
embedded in the fish. This has
caused q deformity in both Of them,
they having grown a great deal longer
and more slender because Of the
bands.
One Of the mackerel is being ex-
hibited at the Summer street store
and the other at the Silsbee street
stoEes-.

Bear Batting.

In the time of Shakespeare theaters
were often used for bear batting as
well as for the presentation Of plays
and in some cases were equipped with
a stage which could be removed when
the bear batting was to occur. The
contemporary attitude toward this d.
version is seen in this quotation: ut
was a sport very pleasant to see the
bear with his pink eyes leering after
his enemies approach" 1t is comfort
ing to reflect in these days that the
killing Of animals, at least as form
of public amusement, has greatly d.
minished and in most countries has
sappeared.-Outlook.
