COULD NOT FORGET COURTESY
Japanese, Though Inebriated, obeyed at Once the Unborn PoIiteness
 of His Race.

It was on the road to Kamakura on a very pleasant morning, that we were favored with an unusual illustration of native politeness. Courtesy is an in- teger of Japanese character, and though it often cOnfuses the outland- CT beyond understanding, particularly in business transactions, 1t Is never theless a perpetual joy to him. The cOOlie, the room boy, has quite Chester fieldian manners in reserve for any occasion.
 Such a coolie 1t was who sprawled in sake stupOr fair in the middle of the narrow roadway, with the ear rushing down upon him. At night he would have been maimed or killed before the brakes could be applied. AS it was, the nOnchalant chauffeur halted with the tires almost at the heels of the slumberer. Stepping from the car, he thrust his foot in the ribs of the coolie, without heat or haste, and rolled him from the way. At this the drunken one prOpped him. self on a wavering elbow, took in the situation and essayed a most amaz- ing recovery. He rose and stood be- side the car to dOfr his hat almost to the ground, and very clearly, though in Japanese, rendered a gentleman's apology for the inconvenience he had caused the travelers.-Ben Hur Lamp man in the Portland OregOnian.

WarlikA African Trihe.

The Nasal are the most arrogant and warlike tribe Of all the native tribes of Africa and, man for man, they are possibly the wealthiest peo- pie in the world. Their wealth has been acquired by waging ruthless war on all the other tribes in the vicinity and apprOpriating their worldly goods, which are chiefly in the form of huge herds. But, with all their warlike tendencies, they have never risen against the white man. Scarcely 5000 in number, they held sway for genera tions over millions of their more peaceful neighbors.
 The Nasal are the exact reverse of vegetarians, for they live on nothing but meat, considering everything grown in the earth as despicable food fit for monkeys, but not for men. Their favorite drink is secured by tapping the large vein in the neck of an OK and drawing off a quantity of his blood, which is sometimes drunk mixed with milk and sometimes straight" The OK Is also their chief food

ROMAN WOMAN, FIRST NURSE
On Record In History as Establishing
 cOnVaIescsnt Home for the @ Peer A. D, 3@0.

The word nurse" is derived from the Latin, and means ito nourish."
 There is no reference to a sick nurse in the Bible, although numerous chil- dren's nurses are mentioned.
 Fabiola, the first nurse recorded in history, was q Roman woman who established a hospital and cOnvales- cent home for the poor after her con- version to Christianity, about A. D. 38O. She inaugurated a society of rich women, and had them trained as sick nurses.
 Nurses, who are addressed as sister" on account of the old religious traditions associated with their work, lost their professional dignity in 1544, when twelve women were engaged at St. Bartholomew'S hospital, London, to nurse the sick and perform menial work.
 From that time nurses were un- trained, until the doctors at the New York hospital began to lecture them on scientific cleanness" in 1790.
 Fliedner, at Kaiserwerth, Germany, opened the first scientific training school for nurses in 1886. Florence Nightingale was trained at his estab- Iishment and introduced his methods into England.

Fishermen Use coIored Nets.

In Dalmatia it has been noticed that the fishermen dye their nets in wonderful shades of brown and bright green. They have found by experience that while the fish are canny enough to fear the white nets and flee from them as from a danger signal, they swim calmly into the meshes of the green and brown ones.
 It seems possible that this is be- cause the green and brown strands of the nets are not unlike the floating strands of seaweed. Another expla- nation is that the eye of the fish is unable to distinguish these two cOlOrs from that of the sea water.
 These dyes are extracted from the bruised barks of plants. After the nets have been well soaked in these natural dyes and then thoroughly dried the cOlOrs are found to be fast both as regards water and sunlight.

Savage Tribes Revered the Cross.

From the, early days of the church the cross was a usual emblem of Christian faith and hope. The first Christians showed great respect for it's significance, with St. Paul "glOrying in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ" They used the gestural sign of the cross extensively. Tertulltan wrote in the Second century: "At every step and movement, when we go in or out, when we dress or put on our shoes, at the bath, at the table, when the lights are brought, when we go to bed, when we sit down, whatever it Is that occupies us, we mark the forehead with the sign of the cross"
 Even before the Christian era the cross was an object of religious venera- ton among savage tribes. The death of Christ gave 1t new meaning.

1t is not the towns opinion,
Of our strike, or its dominion,
That disbands US,
Or that hands us
The low card from the pack;
'Tis the guy that, snake like, weaving
Through our union ranks, deceiving,
When he talks "out,"
When he walks out,
And then goes crawlin' back.
He's the skipper" in strike bacon,
And unless Pm much mistaken
AS adviser,
We'd act wiser,
If we'd dump him from our sack;
If "scab" rank suits him better,
He should wear no union fetter,
But should "scab" work,
And thus grab work,
And not go crawlin' back.

Than its weak link; though made
longer,
1t will wear not,
1t will bear not
The weak links sure to crack;
So in labor-though united,
All it's fond hopes will be blighted,
If it can't shake
Off the damned rake,
Who "scabs" by crawlin' back.
