MOTT70NT GOING IN TO DINNER. How the Methods Dfier In France, England and America. In France they walk into the dining room abreast, the lady and her lord, like two chums, equal one to the other. In England John Bull goes first, she following meek and demure. In Ameri ca Mrs. Jonathan enters triumphantly, leading the way, while her dear old spouse follows. In France men and women walk with equal assurance. When they meet on the street the men pay their respect to the women and the latter show their deference to the men by the way in which they salute one another. Your natural conclusion is that such men and women go through life on the same equal footing. On the contrary, John Bull has the air of a lord of creation. He leads the way a little haughtily perhaps and not overpleasant looking. He Is duly sen sible of the fact that he is a master the master. He is of course polite and deferential to women, but it is with a slightly patronizing air, a condescen sion of his lofty 'lordship. He feels his supposed superiority, and he cannot help showing it. Among the middle and lower class people the man is master and enters his house before his wife, mother or daughter. In the United States the woman walks like a duchess. She is mistress of all she surveys. She stands erect and queenly, and her eyes are frank. For her, man exists. He pays her court. She is indeed a queen. - American Queen. The Price of Slaves. The prices of slaves varied very greatly in different parts of the south in antebellum days. In states like South Carolina or Louisiana, where slaves were always in demand, much more was paid for them than in the border states like Kentucky and Mis pouri, where they could easily run away. In New Orleans $1,800 to $2, 500 was often paid for a good car penter or blacksmith, who in Kentucky or Missouri would not have brought more than half as much. Many slave traders made a regular business of buy ing in the border states and selling in Mobile, New Orleans or Charleston, and there was always a handsome profit in the transaction. The most risky part of the business was the guarantee demanded that the slave would not run away. The time limit was commonly thirty days, and the matter was usually arranged with the slave himself by taking his promise and giving him $5 or $10 to stay until the guarantee had expired.-Exchange. Buttermilk a Liquor Cure. A buyer for one of the largest liquor houses in Philadelphia who is com pelled to sample enough wine and spir its every day to put an ordinary man out of business says that buttermilk is his salvation. "I not only buy five or six glasses a day at the dairy res taurants or street stands," he says, "but I drink it all the time at home instead of tea or coffee. I never touch beer or anything like that. I keep a stone crock of buttermilk in the cellar and let it get just a little stale. It is better then than If taken fresh. A man whro insists on drinking liquor will fnd very little trouble if he takes plenty of buttermilk. If he wants to swear off, buttermilk will help him. It s a splendid stomachic. Two quarts of good buttermilk a day will cure any ease of nervous indigestion."-Philadel phia Ledger. The Ass and the Ladder. "I came into possession of a Hebrew library the other day," said a student, "and in several of. my new books is the sentence, 'May this volume not be damaged, neither this day nor for ever, until the ass ascends the ladder.' What does that mean-'till the ass ascends the ladder?' Do you know?' "Yes, I know," answered the stu dent's preceptor. "The phrase is like that of Petronius, 'asinus In tegulis' (an ass on the house top). It signifies impossibility, a thing that will never take place. Books preserved, there fore, until the ass ascends the ladder are books forever preserved."-Phila delphia Record. The House Spider. While the~ common house spider is harmless and renders a positive serv Ice to mankind by killing flies and other Insects, it is generally regarded with aversion If not with fright. The ordinary spider does not deserve its bad reputation. From time Immemo rial it has been called crafty and mur derous, luring the poor fly to its death and then greedily devouring It, but really it only punishes trespassers. One Failure. "It's funny our minister never gets marrled,' remarked the young hus band, who had just refused his wife a bonnet, in his endeavor to change the subject. "I think he'd make a good husband." "Well," replied the wife warmly, "he didn't seem to make a very good one when he married us." Worse to Come. Mr. Nag-Well, I won't dig up the past, Matilda, because it's disagree Mrs. Nag-No, and you'd better not look into the future either, or you'll nnd that a great deal more disagree Who Knows This Man? "Oh, he Is a born debater!" said .one friend to another the other day. "There is noting he likes better than an argu mnent. He won't - even eat anything that agrees with him."-London Tit The art of saying appropriate words in a kindly way Is one -that never goes out of fashion and is within the reach of the humblest-Faber. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of, Wants and Wishes. "There's a strange man at the door, sir," announced the new servant from Boston. "What does he want?" asked the master of the house impatiently. "Begging your pardon, sir," replied the servant, a shade of disapprovat manifest in his voice, "he wants a bath, but what he is asking for is something to eat."-Syracuse Herald. Bes th The Kind You Hav Alas0oght m~g at/re He Learned a Great Truth. It is said of John Wesley that he once said to Mrs. Wesley: "Why do you tell that child the same thing over and over again?" "John Wesley, be caususe once telling is not enough." It is for this same reason that you are told again and again that Chamber lain's Cough remedy cures cold and grip, that it counteracts any tendency of these diseases to result in pneumonia and that it is pleasant and safe to take.

After passing another "town" of three or four mud huts we enter the famous desert of Islay, on which are what I consider the most remarkable natural curiosities to be seen on this globe, for we are now among hundreds -nay, thousands-of pure white sand crescents on a plateau of 4,500 feet above the level of the sea and fifty four miles from the coast, where all else is of a dark red or chocolate color. Whence comes this sand and why al ways in a crescent shape? Professor Bailey told me that scientific men do not agree as to the reason why the sand always forms the same crescent shape, although it is generally believed that the whirling eddies hereabout are responsible. Some, however, argue that such is not the case since each of these crescents has an opening toward the northeast. At any rate, the inner circle is an almost perpendicular wall of the finest pure white sand, and from the upper edges the crescents slope gradu ally away on the outside. They aver age about twenty feet in height, the inner circle having a diameter of some fifty feet, although I have seen one at least a mile and a half in diameter, which was, however, not much higher than the average. These crescents move, it is estimated, at the rate of three inches every twenty-four hours, and when on the slow journey one comes near the railroad it becomes necessary to shovel the sand across the tracks, after which it travels on, forming new crescents or mingling with some of the others.-Ernest C. Rost in Harper's Magazine. Dwellers In the Ice. The Etahyans, or "arctic highland ers" of Ross. live in ice caves within the vast glacier cap which covers all northern Greenland. Theirs is perhaps the most wretched and isolated exist ence it is possible to conceive. Their "dwellings" are always wet, owing to the melting of the ice walls and floor. For full six months of the year the darkness of the arctic night envelops them. The ice is around them, beneath them, above them. In nine cases out of ten if they venture abroad they breathe the frozen particles, and the sensation is akin to that which comes from inhaling the blast of a fur nace. Nevertheless they refuse to move far ther south with the approach of win ter, as do all the other Eskimo tribes. They take a sort of perverted pride in their loneliness as in their misery. "What matter," they say, "if we are cold and hungry? We are the last of all peoples. We dwell literally at the end of the world. To the north of us there Is snow, there is Ice, but there is no land, and there Is nothing that lives, breathes or has Independent move ment."-Pearson' s. Dumas the Prolifie. "As a rule, I do not begin a book un ti it is finished," the elder Dumas used often to say. And certainly the pace at which he put his works on paper seems to bear out tho statement No fewer than sixty volumes of his ap peared within a single year, a record probably never equaled before or since. On one occasion he made a wager of ?100 that he would write the first vol ume of a new book he had planned within seventy-two hours, including the time for meals and sleep. -The work was to -occupy seventy-five large foolE cap pages, each page containing forty five lines and each line fifty letters-a total of 3,375 lines. He won the bet with ridiculous ease, accomplishing the task In six hours less than the specified time. Floweru That Harm the Sick. Botanists and others who have made a life study of flowers have recently discovered that the perfume of blos soms is otten increased by growing them under colored glass. They state also that some plants are fragrant only at night and others only in the hot sunshine, that the season affects the odors and that some perfumes power fully affect the human organization, sometimes giving rise to serious nerv ous troubles. Flowers of delicate per fume quiet the nerves of invalids, it is asserted. but the violet, lily of the val ley and carnations are really harmful to the sick. Plausible. "What's the derivation of the word 'college?' " "I give it up." "But surely the word must mean something." "Oh, I guess it was just faked up by some poet who needed a rhyme for 'knowledge.' "-Philadelphia Ledger. Anticipation. Mabel-Yes, dear, I will be a help meet to you and try to lighten thediy troubles and worries of your life as best I can. Arthur-But I have none, darling. Mabel-Oh, you old goose! I mean when we are married, of course! What a Relief. "Who's there?" called the poet "I am the wolf at the door," came the dire reply. "Come in, come in!" cried the poet. "I thought at first you might be a man with a bill."-Philadelphia Ledger. An Exception. "Do0 you believe," asked young Dude leigh, who is only five feet tall, "that brevity is the soul of wit?" "Not in your case," replied Miss Bif fington in a tone redolent with acri mony. ________ sympathy.
