Doas' Feet for Lunch.

Men have been known to eat but
terfiles, white ants. frogs, June bugs.
white mice dipped In honey, mole soup.
birds nests, locusts, snaIls, cooked
chrysanthemums, and so on.
In the island Of Formosa dogs feet
are considered a great dellcacy. Peo-

forgetting that they like pigs feet
themselves, to say nothing of ox-tail
soup and calves brains
In this country we employ bees only
as manufacturers Of honey, but In

bee, he proceeds to catch as many Of

EARLY METHOD OF COUNTING
System In use Up to Some Six Gen.
turtles Ago Was Primitive
TO a Degree.

Multiplication, addition, subtraction
and divislon-common grades Of
schools today-were problems that
stumped the great majority Of people
up until six centuries ago. Then
when nurnlsessv saw t..4-. sAs-~s nsus~-
or more the good peasants were
stumped. Multiplication was done on
the flngers-that is, what was done.
When the sums got to be larger than
five times five, the corner saloon was
resorted to. Here the counter used
q large checker board. Checker
boards grew to be the sign Of the
saloon.
When counting by hand, the counter
let the open hand represent the num-
Der five; the hand with one finger
closed, six; with two fingers closed,
seven; with three fingers closed, eight,
and four fingers closed, nine. To null
tlply, he used one hand to represent
the multIplier, and the other the sum
to be multiplied.
The system Of counting on checker
boards was something similar to the
system Of counting on a Chinese
abacus or counting board.

FEW REAL BAD CHARACTERS
Mr.. oosllneton Resents Attitude Die
played by Some Mon Toward
Their Fellow Creatures.

There are men that we dislike at
sight; they have streak of mean
ness or brutality or something that
we recognize instinctively; the best
we can do with them Is to treat them
with civility. But there are not many
such; the vast majority Of men have
good in them and are entitled to be
treated as brother men, writes "Mr.
Goslington" In the New York Herald.
I have no patience with the speak
ers / hear talking about protecting
the rights Of our humblest fellow citi-
zens. There are no humble fellow
citizens; no man feels humble in his
heart and every man resents being
described or being considered as hum
BILE. Happily, we hear less Of this
humble business than we once did.
I feel that have much yet to learn;
but long since discovered that man
likes to be treated like q man. He re-
sents any air Of superiority or patron
age or condescension from anybody.
Poor though he may be and lacking
in what is called an education, he may
yet have In full measure the cardinal
virtues Of self-respect and decency;
he may truly be as good as anybody.
And long ago I began to discover in
men high and low qualities most un-
looked for.
You never can tell what any man
has in his heart. The street sweeper
is as likely to dream dreams as the
banker The poor man may be by ma
ture as refined as the rich man; and
barring the few men instinctively bru-
tai, who may be high or who may be
low, all men are entitled to be met
as men and to be treated with cour-
tesy; not merely with kindness, but
with courtesy, which all men are
pleased to receive and the lack Of
which all men resent.
OF this we may be sure, that as we
go through life we get what we give.

Ancient Egyptian Grandeur.


OF all conquests Of Alexander the
Great, Egypt enjoyed the earliest and
most lasting prosperity. AS soon as
Ptolemy, the son Of Lagus, had re-
gained possession Of this country 1t
resisted the attempts Of others by the
advantages of Its natural situation.
Ptolemy had moderation in his DIS
position which restrained him from
meddling with affairs in which he was
obliged to venture too much. He soon
acquired the reputation Of equity and
gentleness by which he gained the ia
vor Of the people and the confidence
of other kings. About 284 b. G. Egypt
became the chief seat of the sciences
Of Greece during the reign Of Ptolemy
PhIladelphus. The grandeur displayed
by this prince In architecture became
proverbial. He and his sons we're pat
terms of wise and virtuous monarchs.
But the later Ptolemies did not con
form themselves to such models.
