STRICT ETIQUETTE IN CHINA
Matter Of Tea Drinking Thing Of
Much Importance in the FIowery
Republic.

The etiquette observed in tea drink
ing in China is very curious. If a
lady asks you to drink tea with her
and especially if the tea be sweetened
you can count yourself as well re-
ceived and much liked. If she does
not like you, the tea is bitter, and
report has it that in cases of this sort
DRAWINGS are often used. After one
sip of such tea the unliked visitor
makes prompt exit!
When making call, If the servant
should bring in cup Of tea there
Is no need to take any particular no.
tice of it. Allow the servant to place
1t where he likes near you, and con-
tinue your conversation as though
nothing had happened. If your busi-
ness is pleasant and agreeable to the
mistress or the master of the house,
he or she will pass the beverage to
you; If not, you are expected to leave
1t untouched, otherwise you are likely
to have quarrel on hand, and a Chi
nese quarrel-either with man or a
woman-is unpleasant.

Holy DAYS In poitch Land.

What is religion? 1t is not the oh
servance of forms and feast days. We
have only nine national holidays in
America. Only two of our holidays,
namely. Thanksgiving and Christmas,
may be called even quasi religious.
The others celebrate the birth of some
great man like Columbus, Washington
and Lincoln; or some great achieve
ment like the birth of independence
on the Fourth of July or the new birth
of liberty on Memorial day.
Germany, on the other hand, In It's
nineteen holidays, has only two name

have not distinctly religious signif

Imagination, and our designers are not
Judged by the amount of time they put
into the solution OF an architectural
problem. but solely by the results
which they obtain, irrespective of cost,

come under this category. Only after

family has carried on their profession
for many years past, keeping their
secret always within their own circle.
The snakes they use are the deadly
hamadryad or naia bungarus (naia
ophiohagus), the king cobra. The
task, possibly. would not appeal to
many. as these reptiles are the most
dreaded of their kind. Measuring up
to u feet in length. they possess
deadly poison in their fangs, and an
alarming speed. 1t is said of them,
also that they are the only snake who
will attack human being on sight.

other is bound to give in.
The snakes are fed on fowls, and
appear amenable and tame to handle.
The origin of the family and their
work Is probably unknown, lost in
the dim passages of years, but their
zeal Is not one whit less today than
1t has been since the profession was
first heard of. How long they will
continue to carry it on is matter for
conjecture, but undoubtedly they stand

BELONGS TO THE PREHISTORIC
City That at One Time Had Many In
habitants One Of the Show Places
of New Mexico.

A lost city of 10000 homes has been
found in great canyon barely 40
miles from the city of Santa Fe. N NJ.
1t Is reputed TO be the first known
city of the Cochiti tribes of Pueblo In
dlans of the Southwest The place Is
called Rito de los Frijoles or Tyu-on-
VI, and is one of the worlds wonders.
Here, in little caves in the sides
of gigantic cliffs, dwelt the pre-
historic cliff dwellers of America in
communal dwellings, that were al
most immune from attack by either
man or the giant beasts of the stone
age.
The valley is about 10 miles long
and about half mile wide, with the
sheer walls of the cliff towering per-
pendicularly for thousands of feet. For
some distance they are red or brown
ish in color, and then in places they
are dazzling white. Almost the en-
tire surface is honeycombed with thou
sands of volcanic blowholes, that once
upon time belchcd forth sulphur
fumes and steam of the earths core
The people used these holes as doors
to their homes, and enlarged the inte-
riors to suit their families. Some
built three-stOry buildings in front of
the caves. but little remains Of these
feats of masonry.

replied that he had bug in his ear.
Before I could examine him he re-

In emphasizing the business impor-

Roosevelt once observed that more
than three-fourths of all the money
that is spent in this country goes for
the upkeep of our homes, and is paid
over the counters by women. Wheth-
er we think this estimate is too large
or too small, there can.be no doubt
that housekeeping is our greatest busi-

SPAN OF LIFE LENGTHENED
No Doubt That the People Of Today
Live Longer Than Did Their
Ancestors.

When reading Of people who lived
long years ago and especially when
reading about the length of their lives
we are told that in the old days peO-
pie lived longer than they do now.
Some Of the early historical records
speak of single individuals who lived
hundreds OF years. There Is great
doubt as to whether these statements
are founded on fact. In thinking about
this we must first take into considera-
tion that these records of long ago
were recorded at time when man
had no accurate idea of the actual
passage Of long periods of time such
as year. They did not have our cal
endar as basis for figuring at all.
Learned men now tell us that the act
ual age of men who lived at the time
these records of great ages were re-
corded probably lived shorter lives
than we do now, and that what they
recorded as period of one year was
probably a much shorter period than
one year.
1t is true beyond the question OF
doubt that the people of today live
longer on an average tlan people WHO
lived ten, twenty or more years ago,
observes the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
In other words. the average period OF
life has increased steadily. This is
due to the fact that we have taken
greater care of our bodies; have i'm
proved the conditions in which we live,
and made them more sanitary; have
learned to fight and check and eradi-
cate diseases whiM only few years
ago we could not prevent people dying
of when they once contracted them,
and we know from the records which
we keep that actually people live long
er on the average today than only a
few years ago and it is safe to say
that they live longer now on the aver
age than at any time in the worlds his
tory.
