AN AMERICAN HABIT.
A Chicago doctor counts speed Id
eating ns tho causo of many of the
bodily disorders from which people
Buffer, particularly in tho business
world. Quick lunches, tho hasty bolt

Bight nnd tho rushing back to work
without thought for tho abused dl
gestivo organs, can only result, ho de

questionably right, says tho Indlnnnp
oils Star. American pcoplo really
caro llttlo rfbout what tboy eat thU
In splto of tho fact that they possess
hotels and restaurants In which all
tho luxuries of tho world aro served
and markets which supply a wonder
ful variety of products. Notwithstand
ing what Is open to them, as a clasi
they aro not fastidious as to quality
They have their preferences In foods,
of courso, but if what tboy especially
enro for is not immediately available,
they accept what Is at hand, gulp It
down, dash off and forget within ten
minutes what it was they ate. "Quick
lunch" places aro an Institution of the
tlmo in tho business district in all
cities and have an enormous patron
Bgo, They camo In rcsponso to a de
mand. Tho managers aro not to
blamo becauso their patrons insist
upon eating in tho shortest possible
time, nor is tho food they servo noo
essnrlly at fault.
Simple eating Is urged ny a BWHn I
newspaper ns a reform that should be
aimed at In Germany for tho salvation
of society. Tho present extravagance
In dining, it is asserted, threatens 0
nanclal Impoverishment as well as dl
feestlvo ruin. Why Is it that German
has such famous spas? Tho lntima
Lion Is mado that tho reason lies in
the circumstnnco that Germany hai
bo many gluttons, who go to tho wa
tering places, penitent in tho spring
fcnd summor, to mako amends for the
over-entlng and over-drinking of which
Ihoy have been guilty during tho win

bo a gcnulno public sorvlco on the
part of tho leading society personages
If they would begin by practical ex
amples to wago war on tho sonsual
tuxurlousncss of modern entertaining,
as far as tho culinary end of it is con
cerned. Only by n return to simple
and Bcnsiblo dinners can wo avert
genuine economic and physical perllB.
Circumspection in tho samo direction
would not go amiss In tho United
BtateB. Thcro has been a growth ol
extravaganco in tbo outlay for luxu
ries of the tablo. Many men of means
have eaten thcmsolvcs into evil phys
ical condition.
Louisvlllo is tho nickel town of the
country. No crbo Is on record of a

oral nickels in tho change If you
trip around town shopping you'll find
your pockets full of U-ccnt pieces un
til you think you aro tho victim of a
conspiracy until a nativo tells you
It's a habit tho town can't shako.
Chicago authorities aro asked to
prohibit tho roar scat on motorcyclos
on tho ground that "it cncouragci
elopements." What gifted press agent
for manufacturers of tnndem motor
cycles Invented that glorious adver
tisement? A St. Louis womnn testified in o
dlvoroo suit that her huBband pelted
her with money, compelled her tc
spend $1,000 a month in clothes alone,
and thnt sho could not count all the
money ho gavo her. And yet sho win

that Bonio tlmo ago anothor woman

Ono of Brooklyn's young meD

THAT CONSOLING CUP OF TEA
Traveler Is Wise Who Provides Her.
celf With Materials for Making tho
Cheering Beverage.
In traveling both at homo and
abroad, there is groat comfort in your

ticularly, you miss your own brand,
and tho well-versed traveler who is
wiflo in tho loro of creaturo comfortB
nover wanders far from homo without
hor tea caddy. It adds greatly to her
popularity, too. "Oh, if I only had a
good cup of tea" is tho general cry
on shipboard, and then this far-sighted
woman produceB tho cheering
leaves, and sho becomes tho center of
attraction, and has her llttlo cotorlo
every aftornoon. Thero aro some who
prefer it for tho morning meal, too, in

For this poignant need of the travel
er, a charming llttlo tea box of ma
hogany containing a small sliver tea
caddy and a llttlo tea ball, reproducing
In mlnlaturo a tea kettle, has been put
upon the market. It is very simple in
arrangement, compact, and easy to
pack and makes a really practical
gift.
Thcro aro many places on tho con
tinent whore good tea is a real luxury,
and many nn, unsophisticated Amer

bill for what sho considers a very
simplo repast. Sho finds that her cup
of tea costs more than a very elabo
rate dessert, and so It is a great econ
omy aB well as comfort to carry your
own tea with you.

Swordfish and Sharks Fight to Death
NEW YORK. Thnt hardiest of
hardy ship nows annals, tho story
of tho deep sea quarrol between Bword
fish and whale it was a shark this time

Point. Captain F. H. WadBWorth waB
on the bridge. Passengers and crew
lazed Idly on deck. All was peace and
tranquility. Suddenly some one with
keen eyesight espied tho perennial
commotion in the water Just off the
ship's bows. All eyes at onco peered
seaward, expecting to bo rewarded
with a view of the usual death strug
gles between shark and sworflsh.
To their utter amazement and de
light, what should meet their wonder
ing eyes but scores aye, scores of
swordfish and sharks frolicking in
friendly play about the ship!
It was easy to see that they were
making a splendid Sunday dinner of

Sorority Girls Read Their Bibles,
DETROIT, Mich. Sorority girls have
taken to reading their Bibles. The
sixth verse of Solomon'B eighth song is
thnt part of tho Holy Scripture, hold

"Set mo as a seal upon thine heart,
as n seal upon thino arm, for love is
as Btrong as death; jealousy is cruel
as tho grave; the coals thereof aro
coals of fire, which hath a most vehe

Thnt'B tho verse fraught with a dou

How do they do it?
Listen,
First you get a small Bible. Then
you get a door key and one-hnlf yard
of red twine. You open tho Bible at
the eighth chapter of Solomon's songs
and lay the key within tho Bible so
that the round part of tbo key comes
out over the side of tho Holy book,
and tho other end Just touches the
word "heart." Then you close tho book
and wrap it with the red twine. Then
two girls support tho book suspended
by placing the tip of tho third finger
of the left hnnd under tho round part
of the key, nover touching the book. A
third person repeats the alphabet, A,

How a "Dock" Waiter Served the Soup
BALTIMORE, MD. Charles F. Mur
phy, during tho recent conven
tion, deigned to breakfast in tbo main
dining room of tho Emerson hotel. It
was UBunlly more comfortable for
convention guests (if they had pull
enough to get tho service) to dine In
their room. But it was tho quaint
mood of Mr. Murphy to mlnglo with
the mnBBCB.
Mr. Murphy is ono of tho most
scholarly looking persons in political
life these dns. Ho looks more liko
n eollego professor than Woodrow
Wilson or George Harvey of tho barrel-hooped
spectacles ever did in their
livos. '
Thus, then, he sat at one of the
tables in tho main dining room of the
Emerson.
Walters wero senrco In Baltimore.
A number of energetic, though unre
fined, persons from tho water front
(more used to hnnd trucks and the
bale books than the napkin and tho
menu card) had been hired -to fill the
emergency, and had been disguised in
dress clothes.
Ono of these, bearing a silver tureen
young halibut and other well-known
nrtetles. Tho Caledonia's passengers
said tho swordfish averaged 20 feet
In length, and that, while tho sharks
were pot quite as largo as that they
wero Just as numerous.
Having feasted on tho fnt of tho sea,
tho monsters of tho deep frolicked
some more, darting hither and yon
through tho salt sea waves. Playfully,
tho swordfish ran their swoids be
neath tho bodies of the sharks and
tossed them high in the air, then deft
ly caught them nnd repeated tho per
formance. Tho sharks, in turn, took
playful swipes at the swordfish and
chased them all arcAind the ship. This
continued for nn hour, when ono of
the swordfish erred in his judgment
of distance and caught a shark on the
point of hlB bony nose, piercing tho
shark and ending his career then and
there.
With the death of their schoolmate,
tho sharks, becoming infuriated, turn
ed upon the swordfish, and the battle
which followed from all accounts
was indescribably horrible.
One particular pair of fighters wero
watched by Purser Johnston, who said
that the sword of tho great fTsh broke
off in ramming the side of the Cale
donia after missing a vicious thrust at
his enemy. Before the swordsman of
the deep could save himself by flight
the shark had killed and begun to de
vour him.

Last Sunday in the Eta Blta Pie so
rority, three maids perched on tho dav

grave as an owl, for it was "her" for

"A, B, C, D, E, F. a," tolled off the
maid slowly, and the book hung sus

maid, and, whiz, the key fairly turned
Itself out of the girl's hands.
"He-he-ho" giggled tho maids and
tried it ngain. In turn camo the rest
of the name "arry," and as each letter
was told off, there wero more "hes,

Ross Crenshaw, pitcher for the
boys, shocked and pained tho women
by throwing the bnll over tho plato
Just as hard as ever ho could. Tho
outfield lay down and rolled over
when ono of tho women Indignantly
nBked "How In the world could any
body hit a llttlo old round ball when
you throw it real hard?"
The game lasted threo innings.
When ono of tho young women was
called "out" at second base, her
teammates wero a unit In declaring
the decision faulty, prejudiced, out of
ordew ungentlemanly and reversible.
When tho umpire gently inquired
why thoy took that view of it, they
answered "becnuse."
Ho was up against it and allowed
tho runner to return to second. Tho
gamo was called off at tho end of tho
fourth inning because the women
were afraid they would get hit with
tho ball becauso their clothes wero
getting dusty becauso they wero
tired, and because.

through the nlslo of tho tables along
which sat Mr. Murphy.
Tho waiter's solar plexus and the
shoulder of Mr. Murphy met In a
head-on collision. The beautiful red
tomato soup was spilled across Mr.
Murphy's coat juci south of and a
few Inches below his right car. It
was poured out with all tho accuracy
of a steam dredge discharging a
bucket load of mud Into a dump car.
But tho dock front map met the cri

scrubbed tho Tammany leader's sboul.
