In the first place. RI. Hello ought to

loveliness. Nobody else In the whole
world ought to know better than ho
doos what real beauty 1b nnd nobody
else ought to know better whore to

considerations of filthy lucor are pres
ent to explain M. Hollcu's enthusiasm
for tho American woman. He Ib, on
the contrary, a Frenchman, living In

work In Franco, to which ho has just
returned after a visit to tho United
States. Self-interest, as woll ns patri

which ho shatters the Illusion that
Paris Is tho real center of pulchritudo
on this sphere.
The court of appeals of Now York
In Glliesplo vs. Brooklyn Heights rail
road company lays down this rule: "A
common carrier Is Hablo In damages
to a passenger for an Injury to his
pellngB caused by the insulting lan
guage of Its employe, upon tho ground
of a breach of Its contract, which obli
gates It not only to transport tho pas
senger, but to accord to him respectful
and courteous lieutmcnt, and to pro
tect him from InsUlt from strangers
and Its own employes. Among tho
elements of damages In such a case
and which may be considered In de
termining their amount are the humili
ation and Injury to hU feelings suffer
ed bv him, not, however, lncludng any
injury to his character resulting here
from, and ho la. entitled to recover
compensatory damages only, not In
cluding punitive or exemplary dam
ages." Lord RIethuen, the British Hold
marshal, delivered In London recently
an adddess against the use of tobacco
by women. In the course of his re
marks he expressed the opinion that
tho force of bad example Is what'
makes women Bmoke that "one girl
smokes because sho sees her mother
smoking." In tho old times American
girls stopped smoking becauso they
saw their mothers smoking. That was
because tho mothers who smoked in
the old days usually putted at a. clay
pipe. The cigarette looks dalutlor;
but the largo body of smoking opinion
would condemn the cigarette a ssen
tfally dirtier and. more deleterious
than the clay pipe.
The, surplus of women In Great Brit
ain Is In tho proportion of 1,029 un
married females to 1,000 unmarried
males, and It is not likely to be materi
ally affected by such reckless conduct
on tho part of women as that Indulged
In by tho frenzied suffragette who
flung herself In front of King Qeorgo'B
horso at tho Derby. There are said to
be twice as many widows aB widowers
In tho United Kingdom. This would
Indicate that many ot "tho male per

the elder Welor.
A British baronet says New York Is
lapsing into paganism. That Is what
comes of mistaking Now York's front
for ItB real self. Wo would hate to
believe that tho metropolis I as bad
as It appears. Doubtless thero is a
large majority ot decent rcspect&blo
citizens thero who never break Into
the limelight, but u between-stcamors
visitor could not be expocted lo be
lieve It.
Tho certainty of a new ace develop
ment Is manifested In two recent ox
tuples, that ot an actress In New
York who, refused, to givo out details
of her divorce action, and that of a
man who Is going to try to fly across
tho Atlantic, but had no photographs

Ignorance underlies many of the
big losses of life. A stray dog In West
Virginia stole a purse and chowod up
Ovoa hundred dollars In bills, not
knowing what a paradise of meat and
bones It would have bought in its prcs
tlne condition.
A Paris correspondent notes that at
recent ball a young woman suddenly
dismissed her dancing partner at a sig
nal from henothor. The cause of the
dismissal was that "the young man
had benun to put on tango ulrs." It is
expected that the dangor ot similar
public Ignominy will prevent other
Parisian youth from venturing upon
the,, performance whllh In this case
was so promptly cheeked, and that
thero will be no furthorattompts at

It often seems that the style or ap
pearance of the houso doesn't make so
much difference ns tho site on which
It Is built. In ovory town and village
there are examples that prove this.
There are delightful little places set
back among shade trees nnd flowers,
which give one a restful, home-like
feeling Just by walking past; yet tho
houso Is really very plain und ordinary
In design.
Then tor every one of this kind
there Is one of the other sort to keep
tho balance, probably. Evory town
has them tho houso Is largo and
pompous, quite an architectural crea
tion In fact, but It is set down onto a
small lot, crowded in, with all tho
trees and shrubbery cut down to make
room for It. In splto of Its size and
cost a residence of this kind Is very
far from attractive Tho homo build
er would not knowingly tnko such as
h model; yet, many times ha docs bo
causo ho docs not understand the real
elements of success In planning an at
tractive home; and a barren uninvit
ing place Is the result.
The experienced homo bulldor will
always, If possible, select a rough and
wooded silo; It It Is slightly hilly so
much the hotter. Tho labor and ex

paring tho site for the building, und
for smoothing up the ground after
wards are greater; but the satlsfac-
tlon and niicrpsa of tho project Ib also
greater and tho attractiveness of tho
placo Increases aB the years go by,
whllo tho extra labor at tho beginning I
Is very soon forgotten.
Almost any stylo ot house harmon-,
lzes well with such surroundings and
Is Improved in uppearanco by the nat

Some materials nnd some styles of do

What One Race Looks Upon With

Delicacy by Others.
It Is a fact that ErnBPboppnrs from
an early time were regarded as a
favorite food by tho Israelites. They
were called under the moro familiar
name locust, which resembles tho
grasshopper so closely that In mod-
orn times they would have passed for
one.
Tho favorite way of preparing them
waB to crush them with wine or boll
them In hot water and dry them In
the sun. They formed a salad course
of many a famous dinner In tho old,
old days.
In Africa, even In modern tlmos,
ants are considered tho most delicious
form of food. One prominent English
historian quotes having received as a
present 20 baskets of ants pounded
Into a paste. Ho says himself that
It was nulto an eatable dish, tasting
like tho llvors of chicken.
Tho old ItomnnB ato beetles and
considered them a dolicacy. Even In
tho present day Brazilians eat bugs,
and It Is not an uncommon thing. It

PHILADELPHIA, PA. With a covey

Umpity Boom! Boom! Then the Turtle Let Go
N3W YORK. Any boy from tho

Daniel Holmes that tho bow end of a

around, especially when the weather's

though, and anybody'll tell you they
know more about soft shell crnbs
down there than they do about snap

snapping turtlo'e Idea of no kind ot
a place to Inhabit.
Bo that as It may, however, there
arrived at Frederick Brencke's fish
market at West First street and
Sheepshead bay road, Coney Island,
two ot tho biggest man-eating turtles
Coney ever saw. One weighed 380
pounds and tho others 256. The big
one evidently made up his mind ho
wasn't going to bo soup. Holmes
hands fascinated him and he waited
his chance. He didn't havo to wait
long. Holmes' lingers were soon care

out nnd took 'hold.
Holmes yelled. The snapping turtle
had a Arm grip, however.

"Say-When John" Is Sure One Lucky Fisherman
CLEVELAND, O. Is thero anybody
who lost a watch In Rocky river at

"Say-When John," Nelse Peterson's
trusty lieutenant on tho Cleveland

everybody ho moots on Billy Whlto'B
corner, "up tho hill."
John didn't foel strong enough to
work tho other day, so ho dug ovor
an acre or two of ground for halt
a pint of worms and went fishing. It
was an Important expedition becauso
ho was to try out officially a fishhook
which hla brother had Bent him from
Norway.
John dropped his hook In tho cur
rent of Rocky river. Immediately
somothlng grabbed It nnd started up
stream wivh It. John jumped Into tho
water and after herculean efforts
snaked a thirty-pound (Inspected

Wlster nld she wns In sympathy with
his efforts, and that, since all roosters
are a nulsanco In a thickly settled
community, the court Is right In di
recting the owner lo either put 8,
muffler on 'the chicken or send him to
the country for the summer.
If the rooster crows after Rlr. Tull
Is served with the Injunction he may
be held In contempt of court. Mr. Wll
dermuth says ho will see that tho
papers nro properly presented, nnd
that he will back up his determination
to put tho rooster out of business by
having a court officer take Rlr. Tull
Into custody Just as soon as tho in
junction Is violated.
The cause celebre has suddenly
leaped into fnmu in tho neighborhood.
Neighbors who never before looked
over a fence or peeped through a holo
In the wall have developed a won
derful curiosity to take a look at tho
Bubject ot the controversy. A woman
of unusually heavy build snatched a
board from a fence when she tried to
gazo Into Mr. Tull'e back yard. The
children have also been boosting each
other to see the rooster and his five
barnyard companions.
Rlrs. Imogene B. Oakley, head of a
spVclal committee appointed by the
Civic club to do away with unneces
sary noises, declared a law should be
passed to prevent roosters from crow
ing early In the morning.
"Rlr. Wlldermuth was right In ask
ing the court to suppress the. nui
eanco," she said.
"Gee, and it's a clear day, too," sym
pathetically remarked an innocent by
stander. "What d'you mean, a clear day?"
yelled Holmes, trying in vain to choke
the turtle.
"A snapping turtle never lets go till
it thunders," said the innocent by
stander. "Pray for rain, then," begged
Holmes, hopping on the other foot
and pulling harder.
How long Holmes would havo re
mained attached to tho turtle no one
can eay, but the innocent bystander
had the forethought to stop a passing
band and hammer mightily on the
bass drum. Instantly the deluded
turtle let go.
Holmes' bitten hand wds dressed at
the Coney Island hospital.
"So He Can Be Good"
"Please, can I got a bed for tho
night?"
Tho sergeant glanced over hla desk
and saw a little girl bUndlug there
with gingham drees and straw hat.
"What Is your name?" he asked.
"I'm Tillle Spahn, and I'm lost," re
plied the girl.
Sergeant Fitzgerald turned tho girl
over to the matron, Rlrs. Rllnnlo Rlulr,
and notified all stations to try to
locate her mother. Presently Rlrs.
Rlulr came downstairs.
"That's a fine little girl you havo
up there," said Fitzgerald.
"Yes, she's a fine little girl only
she's a boy, and a very bad onp at
that," replied Rlrs. Rlulr. "He's Roy
Wlsebaum, and it'e the fourth tlmo
he's been here. 1 Just caught him
pouring all my sugar out of the win

thorities had had enough of Roy. Two
small boys brought him his clothes.
Where Roy got the girl's clothes Is
not known.
Roy was turned over to a Juvenile

Rlrs. RIerriwid, "that Is, of course, If

Aunt Jane made sounds expressive

also, I presume?"
"My dear Melibsu," said AUnt Jane,
"If you wish me to leave the room,
say so plainly, but don't talk that
way. It's not ladylike and It's not
modest."
Rlrs. RIerriwid puckered her lips and
emitted a low, melodious whistle.
"Well, It's quite evident you don't ap
prove," she remarked. "We'll have to
leavo the subject of athletics, then, I
suppose. But please tell me, dear
auntie, that you believe In a woman
having a certain degree of freedom.
You don't consider, do you, that she
should be tied and trammelled by the
Flexed the Biceps of Her
obsolete conventions that have nar
rowed and cramped her for countless
ages?"
"If you are alluding to er to cor
sets, I muBt say that I consider them
both nroner and necessary," Aunt Jane
I answered. "Tight lacing is one thing,
and an adequate support that gives
trimness to tho figure and discourages
tho indecorous habit of lounging is un
other." "Do you think a woman should
smoke If she wants to?' asked Rlrs.
RIerriwid.

Jane.

"It was my first ntempt," said Rlrs.
RIerriwid. "The next tlmo I shall
not find It so Unpleasant, and after
that l shall begin to deilve enjoyment
Irom the practice You'll see."
"I won't," said Aunt June emphat
ically "Tho next time It happens, I
shall pack my trunk and go back to

Eomo things, RIellssa, that I will not
countenance even In you."
"A good many things," said Rlrs.
RIerriwid, pouting. "You certainly
dnn't approve of much that I do or
much thnt I think. You don't like ray
now shoes "
"Tho heels are positively absurd,"
Aunt Jnno declared.
"You don't like my Easter Illy gown
or what I said to Hilda when she
burned tho chops this morning."
"Do you think, yourself, you were
justified lu what you said?"
"I think hose chops would havo Jus

"I ought to have thrown them at her.
I suppose you don't approve of
that."
"I decidedly do not." said Aunt
Jnno.
"And when I told Hilda to tell Rlr.

thought I was an absolute falsifier.
You don't love me, that's what's the

away the dragging hours. It's as im
portant for married people to disagree
upon the right things as It is for them
to agree properly, You paste that In

thing is to learn to tolerate and even
enjoy the stupidity, childishness,
weakness, narrowness and blindness
of your mate, and prefer them to tho
wisdom, liberality and Insight of any
body else on earth. That makes tho
happy marriage, auntlo."

Aunt Jane.

Beet and Cane Sugar.
Even a chemist, surrounded with all
i his scientific laboratory equipment,
I cannot distinguish beet sugar from tho
I cane product. Altliough derived from
different speclos of plants, tho re
fined product from the juice of tho
cane and beet is the tamo lu com
position, in sweetening power, In di
etetic effect, In chemical reaction, In
all other respects. Furthermore, if
maple sugar were rebolled nnd pass
ed through the process of refining, It
would lose Its aroma and flavor,
which are wholly In tho Impurities,
and the whlto crystals would be Iden
tical with those derived from sugar
cane and sugar-beets. Pure sugar,
whether derived frpm beet or cane,
Is as Identical as is pure gold, wheth
er mined In tho Rocky mountains or
In the Transvaal.
