Proverbs undoubtedly have n ten? dency to travel. They tire carried from one land to gpcther by emi? grants, tourists, missionaries, trades? men and seamen; but many which are Closely similar doubtless owe tholr origin to no common stock, but to tho common sxperience of mankind.

Meali Entire? ly of Vegetable* A reA Increasing In Popularity. According to the New York Timm the diners of the American metropolis are becoming vegetarians. Approxi? mately one-seventh to one-fifth of the guests at the hotels here today are or? dering vegetables for their meals in? stead of meals. All the big hotels keep a very careful record of the sales of the different items on the menus for eaph day, and a recapitulation made recently at the Hotel Pennsylvania re? vealed that a surprising percentage of patrons omitted meat items entirely In their lunch and dinner orders. While the percentage for lunch was much higher than that for dinner, the number of dinner guests who re? frained from meat entirely was also very large. In the opinion of Chef Julien Jnc quier of the Pennsylvania this Is the result of years of emphasis on the value of vegetarianism. The vegetati? on, a few years ago, wns very general? ly the butt of the comic papers; hut with the war a great deal more come to be thought of him by people who found .that a thoroughly satisfactory meal could he made from vegetables and at much less cost. Chef Jacquler believes that this is responsible for the many calls given nowadays In the big hotels for vegetable luncheons and dinners, which have a special place on Urn menus. ANCIENT LAWS OF INTEREST Oldest Known Written Code Has Re? cently Been Translated by Emi? nent French Scientist. What Is said to he the oldest known written code of law? in the world, probably antedating <!^at of Hammur? abi by at least }M000 years, has been discovered In part among the hitherto untranslated clay tablets from Nlppnr at the University of Pennsylvanfa mu? seum. The Hammurabi code was prepared about 2100 B. C, and was discovered about 20 years ago on a large dlorlte stone by French explorers. The laws, just translated by Abbe Schell of Paris, deal with responsibili? ties of hired servants, rentals, rights of slave women who have borne chil? dren to their masters, punishment for adultery, etc. One interesting statute provides that rentals must run for three years in case a man has taken over a house the owner does not know how to man? age. This is somewhat obscure and may mean that all rentals were for that term. In any event property could not be idle or be Improperly used. i In case n slave bore children to her master she and the offspring were free, and if the master married the slave the children became legitimate. Indian Is Model Boldler. Accusations that he was a German spy caused. Odis Leador, Choctaw In? dian, to be made a hero and inciden? tally to be chosen us a model Ameri? can soldier for a portrait made to hang upon the walls of the French Federal building.

One man at least chooses woman life savers In preference to men for patrolling his beach. .That Is Mr. Cray, manager of the parVs pools in St. Louis, Mo. According to Col. W. E. Longfellow, life saving expert of the Red Cross, Mr. Gray declares that Fines trying women at this job during the war when the bronzed heroes were abroad, he would rather have then than men.
