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

The etiquette observed in tea drink
ibg 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 a prompt exit
When making a call, If the servant
should bring in a cup Of tea there
is no need to take any particular mo-
tice of 1t. Allow the servant to place
1t where he likes near you, and con-
tinue your conversation as though
nothing had happened. If your bust
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 a quarrel on hand, and Chi
nese quarrel-either with man or a
woman--is unpleasant.

AncIent Asbestos.

There was winding sheet of amian-
thus In the Vatican library, soft and
pliable In the hand, showing indiea-
lions of ignition upon one corner. The
cloth, however, did not suffer. This
burning is taken as showing that some
combustible fiber had been intermin-
gled. Marco Polo, in the thir-
teenth century, reported a cloth which
the natives of territory now included
in Russian Siberia claimed as having
been made of salamander skin.
Marco Polo satisfied himself, so 1t
seems, that he had to do with a min
eral substance. In fact, he found out
something as to it's manufacture.
In this same general region of country
asbestos is today known to exist.
We are not to regard asbestos as a
single, definite mineral. Nor are we
to understand that there is fixed
chemical constitution. Certain forms
of hornblende and serpentlne, If
fibrous, are regarded as asbestos.

BELONGS TO THE PREHISTORIC
City That at One Time Had Many In
habltants 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. M.
1t is reputed to be the first known
city of the Cochiti tribes of Pueblo In
dams 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 dwellir--s, 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 a 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 belched forth sulphur
fumes and steam of the earth's 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.

SPAN OF LIFE HEIGHTENED
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-
ton that these records Of long ago
were recorded at a time when man
had no accurate idea or the actual
passage of long periods of time such
as year. They did not have our cal
endar as a 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 a period of one year was
probably much shorter period than
one year.
1t is true beyond the question of
doubt that the people or today live
longer on an average than 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 IN
proved the conditions in which we live,
and made them more sanitary; have
learned to fight and check and eradi-
cate diseases Shich 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
few years ago, and 1t is safe to say
that they live longer now on the aver
age than at any time in the worlds his
tory.

If there be one place north of the

may view and comprehend the chief
river system of Scotland, Stirling is
that place. From this point one notes

How Did We Do 1t?

Tho war department Is not permitted to
give materials away. The rule has been to de-
stroy anything that was not in ready demand
and much that was OF value has been ruthleasiy
fed to the flames or othsrwise disposed OF so
that 1t could be of no use to anyone. as those
%ho have had to do with the handling OF con-
demned goods at Rock Island arsenal are able
to testify.
Eighty-hve thousand German helmets were
gathered up by General Pershing and sent to
this country at the request OF the treasury de-
partment to be used as prizes for successful
workers IN the fifth Liberty loan drive After
they had been unloaded at Hoboken It was dis
covered that they were still the property OF
the war department and therefore they could
not be given away, though It would be per-
fectIy proper to throw them scow, take
them out and dump them In the ocean. Here
was pretty pickle!
After a great deal Of discussion and q delay
of several weeks the plan was hit upon of SELL
ing the entire lot to the publicity director of
the loan drive for one dollar, and this has been
done and the helmets will finally be distrfb-
uted over the country to perform the service
for which they were sent from Europe.
No one man and no one administration is
responsible for the system tnac prevails IN the
war department. 1t has its Inevitable checks
and balances that must be employed every
where In the transaction Of public business.
There are excellent reasons for giving away
property OF the war department. and yet after
reading about the manner IN which the mole
hill in the way of proper disposal of the he'll
NETS was made q mountain Of in official circles
one cannot help wondering how we managed
to bungie through the war with such a high
efficiency average.

the victory gardens
The slogan Food Will win the war" has

United States the coming summer will help to
feed the hungry millions of Europe, as we'll as
to solve the problem of an adequate supply of
green vegetables at low cost for many families
Of moderate means
As reported, the average value of last years
war garden crops was but one dollar. but this
failures, accounted for by poor soil, lack Of
fertilizers, and oftenttmes ignorance or Jack of
interest or energy on the part OF culdvators.
The normally successful garden INDICATED its
reason for being, not only by its money value
but the satisfaction OF producing and consum-
ing the delicious green things for the table, and
in these days even dollar saved in this way
is not to be desptsed. One dollar will buy four
thrift stamps, and thrift stamps grow into war
savings stamps, and-weu we are all acquiring
the habit, and while helping Uncle Sam are
building independence for ourselves.
The calamity prophet is still with US, and
there are vague predictions that victory gar
dens will be a detriment to legitimate farming,
and an injury to the purchasing public. With
famine menacing Europe, and the nations cali
ing upon us for enormous quantities OF food
stuffs, will not the backyard gardens free much
cultiyabls land and the necessary labor to pro-
ducs the more substantial foods which alone
can be exported?
