SOME ODDlTiES IN ETIQUETTE. ;
What Is Considered Proper and Improper
In Different Countries.
In Holland a lady is expected to re
tire precipitately if she should enter a
store or restaurant where men are con
prepated. She waits until they have
transacted their business and departed.
Ladies seldom rise in Spain to receive
a male visitor, and they rarely accom
pany him to the door. Kor a Spaniard
to give a lady even his wife his arm
while out walking is looked upon as a
violation of propriety.
No Turk will ever enter a sitting
room with dirty shoes. The upper
classes wear tight-fitting shoes with
goloshes over them. The latter, which
receive all the dirt and dust, are left
outside the door. The Turk never
washes in dirty water. Water is
poured over his hands, so that when
polluted it runs away.
In Syria the people never take off
their hats or turbans when entering
the house or visiting a friend, but they
always leave their shoes at the door.
There are no mats or scrapers outside,
and the floors inside are covered with
expensive rugs, kept very clean in
Moslem houses and used to kneel upon
while praying.
In Persia among the aristocracy a
visitor sends notice an hour or two be
fore calling, and gives a day's notice if
the visit is one of great importance.
He is met by servants before he reaches
the house, and other considerations are
shown him, according to relative rank.
The left and not the right is consid
ered the position of honor.
In Sweden, if you address the poor
est person on the street, you must lift
your hat. The same courtesy is insist
ed upon if you pass a lady on the stair
way. To enter a reading room or a
bank with one's hat on is regarded as
impolite.
JOINTS AND
CARTILAGE-
Om of she Wonders of
Nature In the
Human Body.
Why do joints work so easily and
never give us any pain? In a fresh
joint its appearance in life can be
readily studied. In the ball and socket
joint, Bays the London Hospital, the
round end of the bone, as well as the
cup, are covered or lined with a smooth
substance called "cartilage," or "gris
tle" kept moist and smooth with
synovia. Cartilage contains no nerves,
and has no feeling; if it had, we
should have pain when we moved.
The bones are kept in place
at the joints by very strong
bands or ligaments, in hinge joints a
number of these bands are fastened
above and below, but in ball and socket
joints they also surround the joint,
forming a cap, in which the joint
moves freely. In disease this smooth
cartilage gets worn away, and the ends
of bone rub together like those of a
skeleton; the pain is great, because
the bones have nerves, though the car
tilage has none. A bone without car
tilage is like a decayed tooth with an
exposed nerve. In a healthy tooth the
nerve is well covered, and gives no
pain, and in a healthy bone the nerves
are there, but they are only felt when
the cartilage is worn away.
The Good That Remains.
How many are there who are valu
ing themselves by what they have, and
not by what they arel What they may
have be talent, or money, or position;
it matters not what, but it is not their
very selves. Trvsk worth cannot be
separated from a man's real self.
Money, position, even intellect, may
go; but the sterling, i. e., the moral,
worth will remain. A sultan of Mo
rocco is said to have discovered that
one of his viziers was becoming too
powerful. He therefore summoned
him to tea, and complimented him on
hiB great wealth. The vizier becoming
vain, boasted of the number of his
houses, wives and slaves, and the
sultan rebuked him saying that he
was too rich. To show the man exact
ly what he was worth, his majesty had
him taken by the soldiers to the slave
market, where he was put up for sale
and received only one bid of eight
pence. All his property was also taken
from him. The price which we put
upon ourselves and our fellow men put
upon us are two very different things.
FORTUNE IN THE STREETS.
But nobody Thus Far lias Been Ingenious
Enough to Profit by It.
"Would you believe it, sir," said a
well-known Strand boot maker the
other day, "that some three million of
people walk about the streets of Lon
don daily, and in doing so wear away a
ton of leather from their boots and
shoes."
"Is that really a fact?"
"Really," was the emphatic reply.
"And the amount would be greater if
the streets were not so well paved and
attended to. The ton of leather I have
just spoken of would in a year form a
leather strip one inch wide and long
enough to extend from London to New
York."
"And what would be its value?"
"Well, estimating the great amount
of disintegrated sole leather at .Id. a
pound, what it costs consumers, its
value would be one hundred thousand
pounds. If it could be recovered from
the streets a fortune might result to
somebody in the shoddy leather line.
IJut, unfortunately, there seems no
means of recovering all this valuable
leather, and so no doubt it will always
be Bwept up in the dust and dirt,
liut," he reflectively added, "if a proc
ess by which this leather can be sep
arated from the dirt is discovered, the
inventor would be at once a rich man."
HE ALWAYS "TIPS" SERVANTS.
Because He Thinks It Smooth! His Road

"Gold is the universal language," he
said, "which is understood the world
over. Let people see the color of your
money and you can travel almost any
where without phrase book or Ollen
dorff. "It has the magic quality of convert
ing into mind readers those whose
services you require. It has shortened
many a journey for me, smoothed my
pillow on land and sta and forced an
appetite for many a meal.
"Money sometimes," he added, "can
be too eloquent. The largest fee which
I ever paid was to a guide in the Chilian
Andes.
"I had fainted from fatigue in the
mountains toward the end of a long
day's ride. He dashed water over ray
face, forced brandy down my throat and
restored me to consciousness. I was
grateful and gave him ten dollars. It
was a mistake that nearly cost me my
life.
"The guide," the traveler continued,
"received with the fee an exaggerated
idea of my wealth. He entered into a
conspiracy to rob and murder me in
the mountains. I was rescued by two
Chilian gentlemen from a fate which I
had invited by my lavish and reckless
tip."
"nave you ever found anyone,"
asked one of the traveler's friends,
"who gave any real evidence of being
grateful for your generosity in feel
ing?" "I can remember only one instance,"
was the response. "A colored waiter
in a hotel in Caracas was very bright
and attentive.
"As I was to remain there a week, I
gave hiin a large fee after the first
meal, so as to secure good service.
From that moment he was a most
faithful attendant, not only serving me
intelligently at table, but even install
ing himself as my interpreter, lackey
and bodyguard.
"On my last morning in Caracas, as I
entered a carriage to drive to the rail
way station, my colored friend placed
a small basket on the scat.
" 'You must take this,' he said, 'as a
token of my gratitude. When you gave
me money the day you arrived you did
not know how much I needed it. My
mother was ill. We were very poor.
With that money I bought medicine
which she needed. In this basket are
some of the best oranges raised in Ven
ezuela." "He was not trying to get a final tip.
He ran off with tears in his eyes before
I could thank him. lie was grateful,
and with real delicacy of feeling
showed his appreciation of generos
ity." THE MODERN DRAMA.
It Is a Dresn-Cotvt AITalr and Lacks the
(lorlnesn of Vore.
The other night a man went to the
theater who had not been for years,
and he couldn't make it out, says l'ear-
koh's Weekly. First of all he missed
the simple village youth, the virtuous
hero who was wont to take the firBt
prize at the horticultural society, or
rl win the guerdon at quoits, or some
thing or other in the rustic revels, liut
worst of nil he missed the denr old
fashioned villain, and although this
play had a tremendous villain in it our
friend was not impressed with him a
bit. He sighs thus:
"1 cinne away again, Badly disap
pointed. The play was not what I ex
pected. I nil 11 11 go no more to the play-li-niGC.
The palmy days of the drama
axe over. The theater has fallen into
the s;'ar and yellow fifth act, and there
is no health in it! The theater has fol
lowed the path of literature and the
good old things are changed. I beheld
a lot of swell people in evening dress
on the stage. They spoke quietly to
one another, very much as people do off
tiie stage, and in very much the same
sort of language. This is not what I
want when 1 go to the theater.
"What is the theatrical villain of to
day? Is he a real, good, old-fashioned
rullian? Does he ever drag a helpless
maiden from the domiciliary roof of
her ancestors by the hair? No, sir.
Does he ever say to the hero: 'Kny one
word and thou art food for the wolves?'
Does he ever grab the heroine by the
wrist, drag her down the stage in
three strides, slam her down in a big
chair, bend over her ' and whisper
fiendishly: ''S death, maiden, liut, by
my soul, I love thee! Thou shalt be
mine! Yield or by heaven I'll'
"That's all I know of that speech,
because 'liy heaven I'll' is the cue for
the maiden to spring up, and, throw.
big the villain half way across the
Ktnge, to say: 'Unhand me, ruffian!
And know, that rather than mate with
such as thou, I'd cast myself from
yonder battlement into the foaming
Hood beneath!'
"And does the villian then say: 'Now,
by heavens, I like thy spirit! I love,
thee all the more for it?'
"And does the maiden say: 'Mwciful
powers, protect me?'
"And does the door open and the
nero rush in, armed with a good, blunt
broadsword? And then do he and the
villain fence up and down the stage,
sixes, eights, shoulder blows, cut and
thrust? Oh, no. These things have
given way to swallow-tailed coats and
high collars, and the villain is now as
big a swell as any fellow in the show.
Oh, for the good old palmy days of the
(lr;nna, when the broadsword ruled
and there was gore! The modern
drama is too much like ice cream after
. "

SERVANTS ON INSTALMENTS.
It Takes Sill In Uiial omnia to Do she Worst
of Onn ;lrl Mere.
The American woman, when she
grumbles at the generality of servants,
doesn't know when she is well off. If
Khe could spend a yearat housekeeping
in Guatemala she would come back to
the United States and pass the rest of
her life in peace and contentment, says
the New York Journal.
In Guatemala the servants are either
Indians or half-breeds. They will live
on black beans and tortillas, and as to
w"es, they are content for a month
w'.'h what a servant girl receives here,
ll.iv no Ainerierin liousekei per would
ffii inclined to ehattfc a wrvant rwifird.
Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U.S. Gov't Report
Absolutely pure
You hire a Guatemala woman, for in
stance, as a cook. Then you must hire
a man to keep the fire going. If he is
away, the cook will let her fire go out
sooner than debase her dignity by put
ting on more fuel. A third servant
must be furnished to put the crude
articles of food into shape for handling
by the cook. A fourth is needed to do
all the carrying. Still another must
do the dish washing.
Altogether, a half-dozen servants are
needed to get an ordinary breakfast for
three or four persons. A bright, in
telligent, sturdy servant in this coun
try would accomplish the same feat all
by herself in an hour or less. It is
comparatively inexpensive to maintain
a household of twelve or fifteen ser
vants in Guatemala, but they are a ter
rible trial to an American woman.
THE PERILS OF
COURTESY.
A Benevolent Traveler Makes a
Blight
Mistake and la Assaulted.
An old gentleman got on a Wiscon
sin Central train at Rockefeller and
took a seat beside a man with a face as
kindly as a picture of Peter Cooper.
These two men were strangers to each
other, but a strong relationship lay be
tween them the affinity of honesty
and good humor. They talked of the
recent rains, and were sorry that they
had not fallen soon enough to save the
corn crop; still they were willing to
leave the crops and the whole scheme
of life to Providence. They talked
about politics, religion and then told
stories and laughed until tears ran
down their cheeks.
liy this time, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean, the train had reached Des
plaines, and the man from Rockefeller
got off. And when tho train started
the other old fellow discovered that a
valise had been left on the seat just in
front of him. He sprang to his feet,
threw up the window, thrust his head
out, shouted at his friend and then,
grabbing the valise, dropped it from
the window. And about two minutes
later a big fellow came along and said:
"I am looking for a valise I left
here."
The benevolent man, in a flutter of
excitement, jumped up and began to
stammer: "1 I throw it off the train
I"
"You did!" roared the big fellow, and,
not waiting for an explanation, hauled
off and struck at the old gentleman
and skinned his knuckles against the
window.
The conductor ran forward and
grabbed the big fellow and held him
until the kind-hearted man explained
the mishap.
In this hurried life there is such a
tiling as being too obliging.
THEY ARE MEN AT TEN.
The Hoya Have Hut a Short Childhood In
Cores.
In Corea the boys are called men as
soon as they reach the age of ten. They
receive their final names at that age,
and assume the garments of full-grown
men, all except the horsehair hat, which
they cannot put on until they have
passed through a period of probation.
Permission to wear the horsehair hat is
the final act of transforming the small
boy into a real, sure-enough man
though he doesn't look it.
Kuch a short childhood may, at first
thought, posseses a charm for boys in
our colder climate. Hut it will be
quickly understood that making boys
into men as soon as they are old enough
to feel that they would like to be men
is not a wise idea. The Coreans, al
though possessing a certain degree of
a queer kind of civilization, are not a
people to be patterned after. In Corea,
if a young man's parents are not rich,
he can never ho)e to become so by his
own efforts. And, if he is not a member
of a noble family he can never hope to
reach an exalted position. As for cour
age the Coreans have never shown
much of that. The Corean men are
not in themselves a good argument for
a brief childhood.

HAD ENOUGH OF SUBSTITUTES.
Homemade Itnotblarklng and the Embar
rassment It Caused a Texas Wooer.
Some gentlemen were discussing cur
rent topics in the lobby of the Kt.
George the other evening, when hopf en
weiss, the new prohibition substitute
for beer, was drawn into the discussion,
sajrs the Baltimore News. Some had
tried the new drink and pronounced it
equal in point of flavor to the genuine
article, and various opinions were ex
changed relative to the right of persons
to sell it in local option communities.
"I am not competent to venture an
opinion upon that phase of the ques
tion," said one of the party, "but as a
rule the man who monkeys with sub
stitutes usually comes to grief in one
way or another. At any rate, that is .
my experience, and I will give you a
case in point. In the early days of
Texas, when few of the modern con
veniences that we now enjoy were ob
tainable, I was living in the country,
working on a farm. A man named
llrown lived near my father's. Well,
one dny I learned that a couple of
young ladies were visiting Mr. lirown
and family. Of course, now, I would
have to go over and see the young
laditss. I had a tolerable good suit of
clothes, but my shoes were consider
ably worn, and never having come in
contact with blacking, very naturally
were tough and unpleasant to the
sight. So I set about trying to hit up
on schemes whereby I could improve
the complexion of my shoes. Finally
au idea struck mo and I smiled tri
umphantly as I congratulated myself
on my shrewdness. I would take some
soot from the chimney, use molasses as
a vehicle, as the druggists say, and
polish up myBhoes with the compound.
The soot would certainly make the
shoes black enough and the molasses
would hold it on. Capital idea. There
fore I got to work and soon had my
substitute ready and applied to the
shoes.
"The effect was not to say artistic,
but it made the shoes black, and that
was the end I sought to achieve. A
short walk soon brought me to our
neighbor's, where the girls were visit
ing, and on -my arrival I was invited .
into the room which did service, as n
parlor. The young ladies and I had
exchanged a few compliments relative
to the weather when I unconsciously
shifted my foot on the floor. Then my
heart sank within ine and I cursed the
day that my inventive talent got the
upper hand of me and I monkeyed
with substitutes, for when I moved my
foot a swarm of flies filled the room
and roared like bees. They had been
after the molasses on my slides, and
the shifting of my foot had put them
to llight. 1 felt that my face was get
ting unbecomingly red ami my nerve
began to fail me, but I made a heroic
effort to renew the conversation and
stand my ground. Hut it was useless.
I could see that the girls were all but
dying to laugh, and reenforcements of
flics were constantly appearing upon
the scene. They roared and buzzed
and fought each other for first place
on my shoes. Directly I heard Mrs.
llrown from the other room say: 'John
nie, I think I hear tho bees swarming.
Ui out and see about them.' That was
too much, and, gathering up my hat, I
bade the young ladies a hurried good
day ami departed, enveloped in a halo
of flies as big ns a balloon. As I closed
the gate behind me I heard Johnnie
shout: 'Maw, the bees ain't a swann
in'; they're after tlmt young feller
what just left here. He's been stcalin'
honey and they're after him ubout it.
Wush they'd sting the triflin' rascal to
death, I do.' No, gentlemen, no sub
stitutes for me, please. The bare men
tion of them makes my hair pull."
