NOT ALWAYS EASY TO READ
At Certain Times Robert Louis
Steyenson's Manuscript Is Said to
Have Been "Welrd."

Robert Louis Stevenson's handwrit-
ing was fairly leglble when he felt
we'll, although when he was not well
his scrawl was distinctly weird. In
his article on the genesis Of "The
Master of Ballantrae," he speaks Of
having been haunted by a story "con-
ceived in Highland rain, In the blend
Of the smell of heather and bog plants,
and with mind full of the Athole
correspondence and the memories of
the dumliclde Justice"
Ingenious surmises have been made
as to the meaning of the last words.
Sir Graham Balfour now explains, ac-
cording to the Westminster Gazette.
that after many heads had been
called into consultation he himself
came to the conclusion that it should
read "Chevalier de tombstone" The
Interpretation may be correct, for In
one of Stevenson's papers occurs the
combination "brean." The late James
Murray Of the Oxford dictionary asked
Stevenson what it meant. Stevenson
replied that it was misprint for
ocean"

The Earth,s Hot Box.

In connection with the recent earth
Quakes in Mexico and California, a
negro preacher in Houston, Texas, has
evolved an ingenious theory which,
one must admit, fits very we'll existing
circumstances. He addressed his flock
as follows:
"Breddern an sisters, we have re-
celved annudder warnin' not to go pes
ticatin' into de ways OBJ Providence. De
earf, breddern, revolutes on its axles,
an 1t takes right sma't lot OBJ grease
to keep it fabricated. So de good Lord
put petroleum inside de earf to keep
de axles creased.
"Den, bye an bye, long come all

bearin's, and quensecontly all de lie
come squirtin' out. Fust thing we

LEARN. FROM THE ELEPHANT
Be Careful Where You Step and Take
Credit When Due, Is by No
Means Bad Advice.

A circus man says that an elephant
Is always careful where he steps. He
goes forward one step at time, and
doesn't lose his hold upon one place
of security until another is gained.
If many Of our business men had
acquired this elephant philosophy and
had followed 1t they wouldn't be hang

If one goes about thinking that the

That word "Ptseon-Enslish."

To the Chinese we owe the COM
pound word, "pigeon-Engllsh," the
childish dialect in use at Chinese ports
between natives and American and
English traders.
The Chinese use the word pigeon
or 'pidgin" to supply the place Of
English nouns unknown to them.
Those ingenious orientals call con-
cert a "sing-song pidgln" and a con-
versatlon a "talkee pidgln."
With the increasing intercourse be-
tween the Chinese and English speak
ing persons, and with the progress of
education in China, real English is
taking the place of the "pidgin"
variety. But "pigeon-English" still
survives, especially in fiction and Oh
the stage.

Shopping In Ecuador.

The common trade balance of Ecua.
dor Is a short stick carrying sus'
pended pan at each end and held up
by cord around the center. The
weight is q rock about the size Of q
mans fist, and, while no two Of them
are ever the same size, the merchant
is always prepared to pledge his honor
that the stone weighs full and eX.
act pound. The price for a com.
modify is almost never fixed, and as
the Ecuadorean is always prepared
and expects to come down somewhat
from his first price, it speaks worlds
for his optimism that he invariably
tries to get more. The bargaining
does not actually begin until you have
dlsrecarded the first figure and asked
"What is the last prlce?' gel ultimo

unfairly, when pricing ponchos, that
the price was 25 sucres, but II can

RETAIN YOUR HEAD COVERING
Writer Asserts That "FIu" Is Spread
by Practice of Doffing the Hat
In SaIutation.

Influenza has always been widely
mysterious in its operations. Long
ago one of our warships was off the
west African coast, says London An
swers, when a dense black mist ad-
vanced from the shore and swept over
the vessel. All the men on deck at
the time were stricken down with the
"flu"; and little later the remainder
Of the men and officers were attacked.
The ship was at once ordered home,
and, though many Of the cases were
complicated with pneumonia and bron-
chitis, none. luckily, proved fatal. The
patients were treated with cinchona
bark and ammonia, which was then a
recognized formula for malarlal fe-
vers-
During the devastating epidemic Of
"flu," the Turks in Europe escaped be-
cause, it Is said, they never removed
their turbans. The medical faculty Of
Vienna officially declared that infiu-
enza was largely due to the practice
of dofiing hats in the streets. In sup
port of this contention. it was point
ed out that the great majority of the
victims were of the male sex.
A traveller found influenza to be un-
usually severe in Mexico, where, as
he remarked, there is so much hat
doffing.
1t may be the case, however, that
such large proportion of males are
attacked because of the constant drain
on their vitality by the nature Of their
daily occupation. The writer was re-

NEGROES IN FLORIDA I'M 5z8
Two Africans Were Members Of
Narvaez' Expedition OF That Year.
According to History.

The first record of negro slaves
within the present boundaries of the
United States is found in an account
Of the Spanish expedition of Narvaez
to Florida In 1923, which included two
negroes. But the negro wGs not In
Florida to stay until 1865, when few
landed with Memedez' colonists. 1t
is believed the Spariards had negroes
with them in their unfortunate colony
of San Miguel de Gualdape In 1926,
which ]. J. Shea locates in the neigh
borhood of Jamestown, Va. II. H..
Bancroft, in his "Arizona and New
Mexico" makes 1t clear the negro was
in some of the early exploration and
missionary parties to that territory.
Doubtless the negroes continued In
the province until the Spanlards were
driven out in 1850. ("Introduction of
Negroes Into the United States" by

What cabbages Dislike.

Some time ago, a number of scien-
fists. by means of device invented
by an Indian savant, were able to
watch plant growing, and study the
beating of what in vegetable life cor.
responds to the heart Of an animal.
An average plant grows at the slow
rate Of one-millionth part Of an inch
per second, yet this device so magni.
fies this that, thrown upon the screen,
the increase is easily seen. Plant life
does not differ greatly from animal
life. Place the roots in boiling water,
it struggles and dies the same as the
animal A cabbage dislikes being
boiled as greatly as would your pet
dog. The only difference Is that the
cabbage can not protest, but squirms,
wriggles and srithes.

Crackers of Various Kinds.

There are various curlosities In the
way of foreign crackers, or biscuit,
as they are sometimes called. 1t may
be remarked, by way Of preface, that
biscuit is French for "twice cooked"
and is etymologically the same as the
German zwieback. The Italians make
all their crackers In this way, the va
rieties familiar to US not being in COM
mon use with them. Italian bakers
save all their old bread and convert 1t
into "biscuit" Of this kind. For This
reason the bread largely used in Ital-
ian and Sicillan restaurants Is so made
that pieces may be broken from the
loaf without making jagged end.-
