That :s the estimate Prof J Paul
Coode. teacher of geology at the Cul
vers ::y of Chicago, puts on the chance
of true politeress to percolate to the
inner recesses of his fellow cilirens
He had the conviction thoroughly
ground into him. be said, during the
time he acted as escort to the Japa
nese comm »s«-oners on their recent
tour of America
“1 disifke to get Into print on the
subject.- be said, ’ because all the yel
low newspapers in the country will
misquote and misrepresent me. But
1 am willing in spite of that, to voice
my disgust at the treatment accorded
the Japanese visitors That disgust
eitecds to the treatment accorded al
most anybody who attempts to speak
at an American banquet.
"In our tour of the country when
the Japanese commissioners were
here we visited practically every large
city in the country, and in only three
places Washington. Indianapolis and
St- Louis—were the distinguished
Japanese shown anything that re
sembled politeness, in those cities
alone did those who sat at the ban
quet table reveal gentlemanly in
stincts. In most of the other cities—
Philadelphia in particular—we encoun
tered such boorishness and utter lack
of breeding that 1 was surprised and
disgusted."
Asked to what causes he attributed
th;s lack of culture. Prof. Goode said
he had made no attempt to explain it.
"Primarily it goes back to our
homes." he said. "In many American
homes children are not taught to pay
respectful attention when others are
speaking And if they fail to learn
that cardinal precept of culture when
they are young* it is impossible to
punch tt through their thick skins
when they grow old.
"The Japanese are people of culture
and refinement. No better evidence
of this e\er was shown than their at
titude toward those who so grossly
abused them while they were here. At
the banquets we attended a large pro
portion of the diners talked and joked '
and whispered among themselves
while the visitors were speaking, and
although those speakers were secretly
disgusted they did not convey by word
or sign tfiat they had noticed anything
wrong. Not even among themselves
did they talk about it. There could be
no truer test of true culture than that
"A speaker at a banquet or any
where else is entitled to respectful at
tention and if some are present who
are unw illing or unable to accord him
that much they should leave the room
as quickly as possible."

of Her Stepfather, Presents
Hard Conundrum.
London.—The Hackney coroner and
a jury had a curious problem in rela
tionships presented to them at an in
quiry respecting the death of a Mrs.
Jane Robertson.
One of the witnesses, a married
woman giving her name as Jane Rob
inson. was asked her relationship to
the woman upon whom the inquest
was being held.
"She married my husband's uncle.”
replied the witness. "My name is
Robinson and my mother’', name be
came Robertson by her second mar
riage.”
“Your name is Robinson and your
mother's name was Robinson, and now
you are married and are still Robin
son?” queried the coroner.
"Yes.” said the witness “You see.
1 was a Robinson and married a Rob
inson. and my mother was a Robin
son and married a Robertson.”
"That sounds like a Chinese puzzle,”
the coroner remarked. "What rela
tionship was your husband to you be
fore you married?”
“None at all," replied the witness
"Perhaps this will make it clear," she
continued, "my husband was the
nephew of my stepfather."
The coroner confessed that he waa

HELPS IN KITCHEN
PARAGRAPHIC ADVICE ON MANY
SUBJECTS.
Little Things, but All in Their Way
Important—Fuel for Alcohol
Lamps—Proper Method of
Scalloping Oysters.
Copper may be cleaned by rubbing
with the skins of lemon and salt. The
surface should be wiped off quickly
and polished with a dry chamois.
Hygienic cooks declare bread made
from spring wheat is better than that
from winter wheat, as it contains more
gluten and less starch than the latter
Remember that the shell of an egg
is porous and bacteria easily pass
through it. Keep eggs in a cool place
and keep them covered.
Do not forget that sugar or shorten
ing retards the raising of dough, so
rolls that are made with them will not
be so high and puffy as in doughs
made with yeast.
Butter that is watery and not well j
worked must not be used for cake, as
it will make it heavy.
If you have alcohol lamps, chafing
dishes, and self-heating irons run by
alcohol, be sure that you burn the
right kind. The pure grain alcohol is
costly and the fumes of wood alcohol
are poisonous. Get the denatured
kind, which costs only about forty
cents a gallon.
In using an alcohol lamp be sure
that it is set upon metal or some non
inflammable substance, or your wood
work may be ruined, though a bad
conflagration is escaped. Asbestos
plates are excellent for this purpose,
or an old marble top table.

Onions and Tomatoes.
A side dish which will be new to
many cooks, is made by slicing very I
thin some onions and green tomatoes,
in about equal proportion, and frying
them together just as you fry onions
Salt them well, and if there is any
danger of their being greasy, drain

Stand colander in a vessel containing
very little water, cover closely, and

Boiled Beef. Horse-Radish Sauce.
'Wain boi’ed beef may also be served

palatable dish. A little chopped pars

Who Named Pennsylvania"
In connection with a recent sale in
. England of the letters of William
Blathwayt, a correspondent of the
London Daily News makes the inter
esting assertion that Blathwayt and
not William Penn selected the name
for the commonwealth which he
founded in the new world. According
| to this authority, when William Penn
applied to Charles 11. for permission
to name his new colony after the
king. Blathwayt. who was in attend
ance on his majesty, being a stanch
Tory and high churchman, vigorously
objected. "No. vour majesty." said he.
"let the Quaker call it after himself,"
and Pennsylvania accordingly it was
named Secretary of state though he
was. Blathwayt must have been an
odd character, for he contrived to ob
tain the good opinion of both lYpys
and Evelyn at one and the same time,
but he played not fair to the Stuart
cause. "He crossed, l believe, with •
James to Dubtiu and probably joint'd
in the Irish jig with O'Flynn and the
l.ady Bonedetta at Dublin castle and
then apparently went straight back
and espoused the cause of William.* j
The Old-Fashioned Woman.
"What caused your sudden blew Ins
In ?" asked a veteran in Shade Land of
a woman who arrived the ether day.
The woman gave a sigh that blew over
a tombstone as she replied: "l am an
old-fashioned woman, and ! did sty
work in a kitchen w ith a six hole
range, a big sink, three long tables,
two pantries and a dishpan large
enough to w ash a turkey In Two days
ago ! went to visit my daughter in a
big city and found her cooking for
her family in a chafing dish, doing
her dishes in a washbowl and keep
ing them stored in the low-er part of
the washstand. When l saw her get
the bread out of a big howl on the
piano, called a jardinere. ami reach for
the butter out of the window. I felt
a cold chill come over me, and then
she 'made soup' by opening a tin can
and pouring out a mess to which she
added water from the wash pitcher. I

Spectacles for Soldiers.
fn many cases the vision of third
class shots has been much improved
by the use of spectacles. In the First
Northamptonshire regiment a third
class shot became a first-class shot. In
the First Queen's a man who just
missed being a third-class shot be
came a first. In the First Oxfords one
failed and two third-class shots be
came second class and one third class
became a first. In the First Cameron
ians one improved from noneffective
to a second class shoL In the First
Royal Scots fusiliers one third-class
shot became a second-class shot. Them'
results are due to action taken by the
medical authorities in ISO", when the
eyesight of several selected regiments
was carefully examined by army

Remembered His Dignity.
An American mining engineer, re
cently returne 1 from Santo Domingo. j
was telling a few days ago about the i
struggle for existence that some of
the legion of army "generales" have
when the country is tranquil. It was
a tw-o days' trip by horseback from
the coast to the mine. A friend of
the engineer arranged for a man to
handle his luggage on the way, cook.
! feed the horses and perform other
odd jobs. Just outside the town the
porter, cook and hostler halted his
horse and dismounted. He then ex
plained that he could not enter the
i town with his pack until nightfall.
The narrator asked the reason. "Ah,"
replied the native. "I am a general of
; the republic and cannot afford to low
er the dignity of my rank by being
observed acting as a peon.”
