It will come as a shock to sowe read ers to learn that one of the most seri ous occupations of a fifteenth century wife was to protect her husband from fleas! Taking into consideration, however, the horror with which the people of those days regarded cold water and clean clothes, it is not surprising to learn that the question of exterminat ing these insects made life a burden. Cleanliness was not only looked upon as a dangerous custom, but a positive sin. The soul alone was regarded as of any importance, so that the neglect of the body became so much a virtue that a bath was only allowed in cases of illness. At any rate, water had no place in the toilet of the grand mo narque. His valet after pouring a flask containing spirits of wine over the hands of his majesty passed a comb through his hair, thus completing his toilet for the day. In the seventeenth century, however, cleanliness was carried to such an ex cess that an English dandy was es pected to wash his face "nearly every day." So rapidly did the custom spread that it was necessary to issue a solemn warning that the practice of using wa ter for this purpose "injures the eye sight, engenders toothache and catarrh, renders the complexion colorless and makes the skin susceptible to cold in the winter and heat in the summer." Washing seems to have been more popular in the eighteenth century in France than in England, this in spite of the fact that water was forbidden In the former country. A lost art, according to M. Franklin in "La Civilite du XIII. an XIX. Sie cle." is that of blowing one's nose. To day it is a more or less perfunctory necessity, but in the seventeenth cen tury it was an accomplishment. One person imitated the blast of a trumpet, another the swearing of a cat. Possi bly snuff taking, which was the fash ionable habit of that day, had some thing to do with its accomplishments. perfection in which consisted in mak ing "neither too much nor too little noise." Another noteworthy fact on the eti quette of those days is that nobody ever knocked at the door. The correct thing was to scratch softly with the nail of the finger, which the dandies of the day kept extremely long. Eti quette was so right, in fact, that it is said that the Duchesse de Montpensler spent a quarter of her life in mental torture as to whether different indi viduals admitted to her presence were entitled to sit on chairs with backs or only on stools. A Tart Answer. A young and newly married couple were entertaining their friends, and among the guests was one whose con tinued rudeness made him extremely objectionable to the rest of the com pany. His conduct, although most un bearable, was put up with for some time until at supper he held up on his fork a piece of meat which had been served to him, and In a vein of Intend ed humor he looked round and re marked: "Is this pig?" This Immediately drew forth the re mark from a quiet looking Individual sitting at the other end of the table: "Which'end of the fork do you refer to?"-London Graphie. The Deacon and the Prayer. "I didn't like your prayer very much this morning," said a fault finding dea. con to his minister. "What was wrong with it?" "Well, in the first place it was too long, and then I thought it contained two or three expressions that were un warranted." "I am verysorry It meets with your disapproval, deacon," the good man re sponded, "but you must bear In mind that the prayer was not addressed to you." _______ Fairies. he masses of Greeks and Romans and the rank and file of people throughout the middle ages thoroughly believed in fairies, gnomes. etc. The child has no doubt about the existence of Santa Claus, Jack Frost and a lot of other strange personages, and when the mind of the race was In its child hood state men were prepared to be as foolish In their beliefs as the little children are In all ages.-New York American.

A Curious Adventure Among the Na tives of Africa. Mrs. Constance Larymore, author of "A Resident's Wife In Nigeria," re counts this curious adventure in Afri ca: "The sahib, as from ineradicable Indian habit I still commonly call my husband, had gone out at sunset after deer, and during his absence the entire population of the village came stream ing up the hill to the rest house, all talking loudly and at once and evident ly under the influence of strong excite ment I was by that time well accus tomed to creating a sensation when ever I appeared, no white woman hav ing been seen previously, but these people struck me as having more than saluations in their minds and on their clamoring tongues. I had been six weeks in the country. My knowledge of Hausa was confined to salutations and a few simple words, so I summoned our interpreter to help me to entertair my visitors. "They chattered, shouted and gestic ulated at Paul, who eventually explain ed to me smilingly that they had never seen a white woman before and were anxious to offer me a personal wel come. I nodded and smiled in high gratification, thanked them cordially and when I had exhausted my small stock of polite salutations told the In terpreter to give them leave to go home. This they did, somewhat re luctantly, I thought, but after describ ing the interview with, some amuse ment to the sahib I dismissed the mat ter from my' mind. "Six weeks later we passed throug!

AN INDIAN ATTACK. One In Which Custer and a New Yor Broker Were Mixed Up.. Charles Osborn, a New York broker and General Custer were Intimat friends, and Osborn annually visite the general at his camp on the plains During one of the Indian campaign: he invited Osborn and a party o: friends to Kansas and after givin them a buffalo hunt arranged a nove experience in the way of an Indli scare. As Osh'orn was lying in his ten one night firing was heard at the out posts and the rapid riding of pickets "Boots and saddles!" was the order 11 the disturbed atmosphere of the night and Custer appeared to Osborn loadei with rifle, two revolvers, a saber ani a scalping knife. "Charles," he said In his quick, nerv ous way, "you must defend yourself Sitting Bull and' Flea In Your Boots with Wiggle Tall Jim and Scalp Loc] Skowheban, are on us In force. I dli not want to alarm you before, bat thl safety of my commandisi-ny 'firs duty. Things look serious. If we don' meet again, God bless you!" The broker fell on his knees. "Cus ter," he cried, "only get me out of this I'll carry a million shares of Western Union for you and let you into the firm to get me homel, Only save me!" But Custer was gone, and the cam] by shrewd arrangement burst Into: blaze, and shots, oaths and warwhoop were intermixed until suddeniy a paint ed objiect loomed on Osborn's sigh and something was flung into his fac -a human scalp.

The pack mule Is quite as much an institution as the team mule and is absolutely indispensable in the moun tains. Mule packing is a fine art, and with a well trained animal and a skill ful packer you can safely transport anything from a piano to a bag of oats. When the packer has finished l job In an artistic manner, the n-may buck or back, kick or rear or roll, but he cannot rid himself of his burden, and he finally gives it up -in despair. After two or three experiences be will submit to his destiny and fall into line with the rest of the train every morn ing to receive his load from the pack er. A well trained pack mule is at %ways proud of his load, and if by any means it gets loose he will step quietly out of line and wait until the pack master comes along to tighten It. The most serious objection to the mule, which you sometimes find in hu man beings also, is the delusion that he can sing. One who has never heard a mule solo cannot appreciate the ex-. tent of his mistake; but, like every thing else about a mule, his song Is strictly original. It belongs to no other animal. No one can describe and no one can imitate it-New York Mail. Mixed Pickles. Bishop Knox once explained that "Mr. McKenna's sword was an over loaded pistol which, being hung up in a tight corner lest it should burst, pre tended to be dead until It got up and trotted home on the friendly back of the bishop of St Asaph." But it is In political debate, especially in the house of commons, that the mixed metaphor flourishes most luxuriantly. "The flood gates of irreligion and intemperance are stalking arm in arm throughout the land." "This bill effects such a change that the last leap in the dark was a mere flea bite." "That is the marrow of the educational act, and it will not be taken out by Dr. Clifford or anybody else. It is founded on a gran ite foundation and speaks in a voice not to be drowned in sectarian clam or." "The question of moisture In to bacco is a thorny subject and has long been a bone of contention."-Malnches ter Guardian. Tulip Soup. "What makes this vegetable soup taste so different?" asked the young husband of the pretty bride. "Only the leeks you sent home," re plied the bride. "You rembember you said you were going to order leeks." "I didn't order any leeks," growled the husband, but he finished. his bowl of soup rather than disappoint her. That afternoon he stopped at the . grocery store. "How did you come to send leeks up to -my 'house this morning?" he de .manded "I didn't order them." "Great Scott! Did you eat them? exclaimed the grocer. "Sure, we ate them." "Oh, for land's: sake. They were Mrs. Jackson's tulip bulbs.

Many of the vic tims were burned alive after having been first tortured.
