ADJUSTED IN WRONG PLACE
How Misunderstanding Of Use Of Life
Preservers Brought Death to
Shipwrecked Persons.

A most vivid illustration of the pow
er of mere words over human beings
was once brought to the attention Of
the French people by Francisque Sar-
cey.
After the wreck of q French liner
many passengers were found floating
drowned with life-preservers on.
These life-preservers were fastened
upon the bodies, but round the middle
instead of under the arms, and the
greater weight of the upper part Of
the body had tipped the head under
water, and the person, Of course, was
inevitably drowned.
Now it appears that the greater
number of persons so drowned
were French. The French term for
life-preserver is ceinture de sauvetage,
or ''life-saving belt" This word cein-
ture suggests to the mind, In its mo-
ments of disorder and unreadiness
such as a great catastrophe brings,
the idea Of putting on a belt, and,
as a belt is put around the waist and
nowhere else, the frightened person in
stinctively adjusts the life-preserver
about the hips.
The result is that as soon as the
person so provided falls into the wa
ter his body tips over, with the heav-
ier part downward, and the head is
plunged beneath the surface.

the sidewalk, a wall at their backs,
their legs extended straight before
them; such pictures Of contentment as
few cities can furnish; and if you look
into the flock Of restaurants you will
see that the cooking and slicing and
the selling are still going on. The
board of health has never invaded
these charmed precincts, apparently.
They all look indescribably dirty, and
the dust is terrific; but trade does not
languish, and the smell of cooking fills
the air.
Clear musical notes sound just
around the corner; and here comes one
Of the well-known institutions of New
Orleans-the hot-wafiie wagon. The
wagon shines with paint and cleanli-
ness; the occupant of the wagon Is
resplendant in snowy apron and cap. Is
it that you desire a dozen waffles? Be
hold, while you stand expectant he has
poured the batter onto the hot griddles,
has turned them, has taken them up,
golden brown and sprinkled them with
powdered sugar and deftly folded them
in a paper, and they are yours!
IF you are in the residence portion Of
the city Of course you respect the con-
ventions and take those waffles inside
before you unwrap the bundle; but if
you are downtown-well,t things are
different. You eat them standing, and
find than, vary rond fpdaad
At certain hours Of the day or night

But is he genuine, or only base imita-
ton? 1t is greatly to be feared that he
is an imitation and would not know a
genuine tamale IL he should see it.
To be genuine, the tamale must be
made of boiled corn-not Of corn meal |!
Perish the thought The corn must be
hulled and boiled soft, as for lye hon.
my; and then IT must be rolled to a
paste on q metate board, and with a
metate roller. 1t must be mentioned
that both board and roller are made of
stone. Having been rolled sufficiently,
a little wad Of paste is flattened in the
hands, covered with meat that has been
boiled to shreds with red pepper-Oh,

then the tamale is wrapped in a corn
husk, neatly folded over at the end, and

proceed to fry fish. 1t is all very SIM
pie. There are no tables to straighten
up, no dishes to wash, no napery to
send to the laundry.
Sandwich Of Fried Fish.
An applicant for fried fish appears
on the sidewalk and shoves 10 cents
toward the artist inside; two slices Of
bread with a slice Of fried fish between
them are showed toward him. There is
no trouble about wrapping the sand
wich, even. The purchaser stands out
side and eats his fried fish sandwich or
sits down on the curb, or walks along,
masticating 1t at his leisure; and that
Is all there is to 1t. How much less red
tape there is on South Rampant street
than in the more formal restaurants
further down!
1t is along the wharf, from end to
end, that the eating places flourish In
the greatest variety. You will find in
one place little open shed which has
nestled up against the side Of some
larger building. The chef-perhaps a
man, or it may be woman-stands
back of the long table and hands out
sandwiches or pies or cakes, according
to the demand. and there are liquid
refreshments of kind to be had on
request and the payment of denariuS.
Men are lined up in front, eating au-
dibly, because it is said that the table
manners at the little wayside eating
shed are not always above reproach.
And as some of them go, much re-
freshed, others come, for there is big
custom for the improvised restaurants
along the river.
There are other restaurants which
may be said to be perambulating, and
which have this advantage-that they
go to their customers, instead of wait
ing for the diners to come to them.
Here Is a negro with basket of pies
and cakes. He is very indignant, for he
has been delayed by a crowd that were
intent on eating. it is true, but were
basely intent also on eating on credit.
He gathers up his basket haughtily and
goes his way, remarking, as he goes,
"Nothin' doin'!" Perhaps he has had
experience in providing meals for Pee-
pie who were going to pay for them
next Saturday.

him in astOnishment.

They ran to call Shakuntala. Half

wearing her hair in one long braid in
token Of being forsaken. Her worn
face looked at the kings countenance
that was drawn with long grief.
He fell at her feet and cried: "Black

So little is known of Kalidasa
