STRICT ETIQUETTE IN CHINA
Matter Of Tea Drinking a 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-
celved 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 a call, If the servant
should bring in a 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 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 a Chi
nese quarrel-either with man or a
woman-is unpleasant.

Trua Hapnlnesa.

Edmund Burke said: Taking the
whole view of life 1t Is more safe to
live under the jurisdiction Of severe
and steady reason than under the en-
pire of indulgent but capricious FASH
ion." 1t is not likely that Burke's
doctrine Is much followed In these
days of excitement and pleasure.
There is a strong revolt against "se-
we're and steady reason" whenever
one looks about him. Pleasure seems
to be the dominant side in all the
activities which one encounters. Hap
piness is not understood and really
it is the only good. A man who is not
happy has gone astray; he is not re-
ligious, nor educated, nor patriotic,
nor helpful to society. His body Is
taking a long journey and leaving his
soul behind. A world Of materialism
does not understand this. There 10
much regret behind our sensual joys.
Burke understood this better than we
do. Lives are better built on the idea
he expresses.-Ohlo State Journal.

SECRET MARRIAGE"
Mary MacLaren Featured by
Triangle in Story of Adventure.

Patrons of the Orpheum thea
tire will be pleased with "Secret
Marriage" a five-part Triangle
feature which comes to this
theatre on Sunday September 7.
1t features Mary MacLaren,
the sweet Universal star who
won the hearts Of many photo
play enthusiasts by her presen-
tation in "Shoes" and many Of
her pleasing plays. Her pres
ent feature was directed by Tho
mas Ricketts,. The story, by
Richard Bennett, the well-known
actor, is quite original and its
details have been presented with
realism, presenting several we'll
sustained dramatic moments.
The story tells of the daughter
of a police lieutenant who care

fully reared in the humble home
Of parents who adored their only
daughter, is a clear-eyed, clean
minded girl. How she unwit-
tingly becomes involved in a sec
ret marriage, and is later discov-
cred by her father and his fellow
policemen, hiding in the closet of
mans room, under circum-
stances that encourage her to
attempt suicide, is wildly port
rayed. Of course the play ends
happily, as all Mary MacLaren
pictures should, and as most
folks enjoy lively tale of adven-
ture that concludes in a happy
fashion, this picture seems
bound to please. Miss Mac
Laren's supporting cast includes
Fred Vroom, Edward Alexander
and Vera Merserau.

ITS GLORY BUILT ON SAND
Valley, india, Today Pathetic
In Its Decay.

Pandrinthan Is a deserted and
Crumbllng temple in the pleasant
Kashmlr valley In India. Its fate Is
an example Of the oblivion that comes
to those who worship false gods
another proof of the feeting glory of
kings who build unwisely.
Long ago Pandrlnthan stood In the
heart of u splendid city-the Srinagar
of history and story. A great king
built the temple walls and planted
the willow trees on the shores Of the
lake. 1t was the court Of Maya, the
snake god. Thousands Of dark-faced
men and women crossed the tiny bit
of water to lay their. offerings and
worship at the shrine.
The great king died a thousand
years ago ana gradually his city has
crumbled into dust. Its magnif1cence
is gone. The tottering temple and the
willow trees are the only reminders
of the glory OF the past.
The scene Is eloquent of thousand
years of neglect. The waters of the
holy lake are stagnate and black with
slImss The ancient temple is eaten
with decay. The murmur of the wind
among the aged willows suggests the
echo of the chant the priests used to
drone before the altar. The stiffness
and desolation remind one Of the adj
monition, LET there be no other gods

Fully Qualified.

They were arguing about qualif1ca-
lions for successful careers, and a ia
nous playwright who was one Of the
party, maintained that the stage Of
fered the easiest opportunities for
beginning. AS some doubt was thrown
on this claim, he produced a letter
from a man who wished to be en-
gagged for his new play, which was
about to be produced. The letter ran
as follows:
"Reverend Sir: Wishing to go on
the stage, would like to appear In
your play. Have been market gar
dener for some years, but, having
gone bankrupt, have decided to take
Up acting, the same requiring no cap

Ancient Asbestos,

There was q winding sheet of amIan-
thus In the Vatican library, soft and
pliable In the hand, showing indica-
tons Of ignition upon one corner. The
cloth, however, did not suffer. This
burning is taken as showing that some
c0mbustible fiber had been intermin-
gled. Marco Polo, in the thfr-
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 min
erai substance. In fact, he found out
something as to its 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 a fixed
chemical constitution. Certain forms
of hornblende and serpentlne, II
1brous, are regarded as asbestos.

Back at home when his hat blew of

He came to Indianapolis on Sum

suit and his best Sunday hat. He had
been reading about the welcome home
preparations and had determined to
see for himself. So when he landed
at the Traction Terminal station he
made a Decline for Monument circle.
1t was all as he had read. The Vic
tory arch, the Greek pillars, all white
and clean, the staid old monument in
the center. Would he be there on
Wednesday when the boys marched
past? Well, now would?
The frlsky May breeze caught his
Sunday hat. 1t lifted 1t high and
waited 1t gently down into the Monu-

If there be one place north of the

may view and comprehend the chief

that place. From this point one notes

SPAN OF LIFE Heightened
No Doubt That the People of Today
Live Longer Than Did Their
Z 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 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 a period of one year was
probably a much shorter period than
one year.
1t is true beyond the question Of q
doubt that the people OF today live
longer on an average than people who
lived ten, twenty or more years ago,
observes the Seattle acknowledgements.
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 which 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 it Is safe to say
that they live longer now on the aver
age than at any time in the worlds his
tory.

Bridge Blaze
Causes Panic

A fire in the centre of the Williams
burg Bridge between the two elevated
tracks tied up all traffic for half an
hour last night. stopped elevated trains
for the rest Of the night and caused
panic among the passengers in six
stalled trains.
When a passenger on a trolley car
noticed the blaze at $50 it was Just a
sputtering of sparks driving from the
plank pathway which overlies the feed
cables that carry power for the ele
waited trains. On reaching the Man
haitian side the passenger notified Pa
trolman Mannix. A glance toward the
centre of the bridge showed Mannix
that the sparks had blossomed into
flames and he sent special call for
Hook and Ladder 1S in Attorney
Street.
When the fremen reached the blaze
II had got beyond control of hand ex-
tinguishers and a call was sent for
the fireboat William l.. Strong, sta
toned at Grand Street The power
full streams of the freboat were dis
persed as spray by the wind before
they touched the bridge and an engine
company was called. Finally, how
ever, line of hose was dropped to
the freboat and water pumped on the
blaze
The fire had halted an elevated train
on either side and under the press of
holiday traffic two more trains piled up
behind each before the train dispatch
ers could change their orders They
were Broadway trains, three of them
bound for Carnarsie, East New York
or Jamaica and three bound from
those places to Manhattan.
Benjamin Dolinkle, of 1S1 Stanton
Street, was found unconscious on the
bridge near the Brooklyn end. 1t is
believed he jumped from one of the
cars and fractured his skull
Most of the cars of the Brooklyn
bound trains were almost on a level
with the promenade, and the guards
opened the side doors as soon as rescue
squads of fremen, patrolmen and SOL
diers and sailors, who happened to be
on the bridge, had been organized.
These squads helped the released pas
sengers over the railing and on to the
promenade.
Passengers in the Manhattan-b bound
trains, however, could get out only
by crossing the trolley tracks to the
vehicular roadway on the north side of
the bridge Those in the Brooklyn bound
trains, also those who happened to be
IN cars which were considerably below
the level of the promenade, found it a
difficult feat, even with the assistance
OF rescuers, to Chamber up to safety,
burdened, as many of them were, with
children. 1t was nearly midnight be-
fore all six trains had been empted
Of passengers.
