COURTESIES AT SEA
Dipping tho Flag Ranks Before tho
Boorving of the Guns
In the diijy before cannon mid in
deed until comparatively recent times
tt vessel made iU salutation by lower
ing or dipping Its ting This is the
t oldest and most honorable greeting
J which a ship can give It ranks before
the booming of guns however many
This salute has always been demand
ed by English speaking seamen and its
exaction has burned the hearts and the
powder of generations of naval com
manders For a foreign ship whether
merchant or martial to eutur an Bug
llsh port without veiling topsails or
dipping Its national Hag was to court
the chances of war although the pn
foundest peace existed Without warn
ing or argument the shore defenses or
a man of wnr would cnd a round ol
shot across the bows or between the
masts of the insolent intruder and if
the offending Hag came not down in
stantly the foreigner was brought to
her seizes by being raked through ami
through Such was the reception
corded by Sir John Hawkins in the
sixteenth century to the Spanish ad
miral who in time of peace sailed into
Portsmouth sound without veiling h
topsails or lowering his flag
Salutes are essential matters of naval
etiquette and are exchanged under an
elaborate code arranged between the
powers The number of guns to be
fired under all conceivable circum
stances is minutely stipulated New

THE OLD OAKEN BUCKET
A DrinU From the Well That Was Not
Appreciated
The girl accepted the glass of ice
water with a fervor in her words that
went away beyond the manner of or

Yes she confessed I am deeply
grateful You dont know what a bless
ing it is to be able to get a drink out
of a refrigerator just open the door

up the bucket took a cupful 1 te

put the knife away again All nit
just oue little drink
Once we went out driving V
found one well where we couldnt ae
the lid up We found another wher
the rope was too short I was just
dyingfor a drink by that time so one
of the boys held another upside down
in the well by the legs you know -and
we dipped out a drink that way
Thank you Im very comfortable

Russian Peasant Weddings
A peasant wedding In Russia means
r festival for the whole village and
often for the young people from neigh
boring villages as well Weeks before
the eventful day the young girls as
semble at the home of the bride to help
her sew The bridegroom comes with
his men friends to treat them to nuts
and sweets Appropriate songs are
sung and the bridegrooms generosity
Is put to the test Oue of the girls
holds out to him a plate and if he puts
dowu a silver coin they sing him a
song full of compliments but if he
gives copper and is known to be able
to afford more mockery follows The
whole village is invited to the mar
riage ceremony which is performed
with all the ancient superstitious rites
and solemnities

Could You I
Eat a
Hippo I
H
OW would you like a hippo
potamus steak for dinner
What You would as lief
eat horse Well if these
high prices continue you may be
driven to horse or even worse to a
mule diet lint getting hack to the
hippo stetk it is quite the thing in
Africa Come to think of it there is
nothing so awful about eating a hippo
potamus except the size of the beast
and that would be nothing against It
to a hungry man Your full grown
llippo weighs only about four toni
The hippo belongs to the pig family
and is much cleaner than the pig in its
eating We eat ium and bacon when
we can afford to so why not hipiM -
There is a serious movement on in
Louisiana to introduce the hippopot
amus as a table delicacy also to use
him as a river dredge and a large
mouthed consumer of the overproduc
tion of water lilies The big brute
can be tamed easily though hardly
suitable for a household pet Hut he
is a tine river dredge and eats water
iilies like a cyclone Thus he is an
aid to navigation for he cleans out
the streams and at low water a few
hippos wallowing In river would
bring it up bank full
So serious are the Louisianians in
their desire to induce the hippopot
amus to settle in their midst that thev
have organized the New Food Sup
ply society with Representative
Hroussard at its head and have em
ployed Captain Fritz Duquesue a
noted Roer soldier who knows all
iHii pnos to look into the matter

CAPTAIN FRITZ DGQUESXE AND WHAT HE
WANTS TO FEED US
the pest the water lily has become its
hindrance to navigation and its injury
to health be says
The water lily grows in Africa as
abundantly as it does here but in
Africa it never gets complete coutroi
of a river and when the hippopot
amus is suffered to range unmolested
the streams are kept clear for the
lily and in fact all aquatic plants are
the natural food of the hippopotamus
Then why uot put the big beast in the
rivers where it would act as a dredge
aud remove the cause of all the trou
ble by devouriug the worst pest with
which the state has to contend
The hippopotamus would find no
difficulty in living in Louisiana for
the temperature there is exactly like
that of its habitat The animal is ex
tremely hardy and very docile when
reared in domestication as tests made
all over the world have proved Mr
Hornaday from one female in the
Broux zoological park reared seven
out of eight hippopotamuses born in
eight years under to say the least ot
it unfavorable circumstances
1 can see no reason why the hippo
potamus should not become a part of
the animal life of this continent to the
great advantage of the human inhab
itants Think of an animal that will
grow from birth to four tons in four
years Some additions to the bippo
1 potamus as an inhabitant would be the
j water buck wart hog reed buck
dik Cape buffalo all excellent food
animals carrying tine leather making
hides
This will give you an idea of what
we intend to do Some have said the
animals will not live here Well when
one takes into consideration that every
domestic animal including white and
negro on this continent was imported
and has increased and multiplied there
seed be no fear that a few others can
not be found to do the same The cir
cus is good evidence that It can be
done

THE HURRY HABiT
It Is Charged With Being a Breeder of
Bad Manners
My attention was recently called to
an article observed the retired pro
tiisor in which the writer rebuked
us individually and as a nation for
oir lack of manners due to the hurry
habit He classed tills habit among
the bad senseless inexcusable habits
and I fullv agree with him Watch a
crowd anywhere pitching off trains
in j boats or surging on to them light
ing tor first places going up stairs or
down squirming and elbowing to get
through a gateway or an open door
aiMi if you were to inquire not one
mti lack or woman Marie could tell
you why he or she was on the dead
jump
The average male being will consult
his watch bound across the lawn run
like mad for a car hire a cab to break
the speed law driving to a ferry dasli
into his office as if he had done 100
yards in ten seconds remove his hat
and overcoat open his desk pull out a
slide cock his feet on it light a cigar
and wonder what lies going to do
next
The average female being will bore
through n fringe of shoppers nine
deep to forge to a bargain counter
and after shes arrived shell calmly
I tilt down her purse and parasol linger
the goods for fifteen minutes ask
iiuestiiuis concerning the prices past
present and future and move off lei

The Father of Tobacco Smoking
It is quite hopeless to trace out the
father of smoking in general and to
bacco smoking in particular Who tirst
drew in smoke of any kind through a
pine in England and who tirst of our
countrymen took to tobacco will al
ways remain disputable It is equally
uncertain which western tribe made
I the sublime discovery There is even
dispute as to whether tobacco takes its
name from the island of Tobago from
the Yucatan province of Tobacco from
Tabasco in Florida or from a y shaped
pine which the people of Hispaniola
smoked with their noses Only one
name is definitely associated with the
great institution that of Jean Nicot
the French ambassador to Portugal
who spread the fame of the herb
through Europe And of all who are
familiar with nicotine today how
many associate it with Nicot or have
even heard ot him London Chronicle
