MOURNING CUSTOMS
Origin of the Widow Cap and Illaclc
Sleeve HuikIn
The customs of mourning as prac
ticed In various parts of the world
seem at iirst sight to have little rela
tion with each other or with the In
ward grief which they are supposed
to typify Yet by the exercise of a lit
tle patleuce many resemblances may
be discovered among them The wid
ows cap for example dates back to
the days of ancient Egypt Egyptian
men shaved the beard and head as a
token of mourning The women in
stead of cutting off the hair concealed
It by a close cap The Romans who
were as a race clean shaven shaved
the head In mourning and wore a wig
The black band on the sleeve as a
sign of mourning comes to us from the
days of chivalry The lady tied a scarf
or napkin as the handkerchief was
called about the arm of her knight
If he was killed in battle she wore the
band in memory of him
Black has so long been the color of
grief In Anglo Saxon countries that It
seems a part of the upside down civ
ilization of the east that Japan and
China wear white But no longer ago
than the time of Elizabeth the unfor
tunate Mary of Scotland wore white
on the death of Darnley Even now
the hearse used for children is white
and in England the mourners at fu
nerals of young unmarried persons
wear hatbands and sashes of white
A queer English custom is that of
decorating the black hearse horses with
long false black tails They attract no
more notice on a street in Liverpool
than do the black nets used in this
country to cover the horses
A great many sensible people protest
that wearing tokens of mourning is a
barbaric custom that should be abol
ished or greatly modified but when
loss and grief actually come into the
Individual life one discovers that there
is a strange subtle fitness in gloomy
garments and that they answer to the
need of the soul for silence and sepa
ration
ODD DERIVATIONS
Curious History of the Word Vote
How Reticule Got Ita Name
Vote is a word with a curious his
tory To the Roman a votum was a
solemn promise made to a deity From
the solemn promise itself the meaning
of votum gradually became the
prayer or intense wish that accompa
nied the promise and then any Intense
wish ivhatever So far the develop
ment proceeded in Latin and vote
passed into English with the same
sense When Ben Jonson wrote of
public votes to heaven he meant not
mass meeting resolutions but prayers
Finally vote acquired its present
meaning the formal and emphatic ex
pression of a wish while the old sense
remains with its double vow
That openwork bag for shopping
called a reticule gets Its name directly
from the Latin reticulum little
net Popularly however the word Is
supposed to owe its existence to the
fact that when an Englishwoman visit
ed the first Paris exhibition with her
little bag in her hand the Parisians
cried Ridicule The Englishwoman
misunderstanding the exclamation is
said to have thought it the correct
translation of little bag and return
ed to England calling it a reticule
Philologists claim that the phrase to
sleep like a top comes from the
French dormir comme une taupe to
sleep like a mole It is said too that
Cinderellas slippers were not made of
glass but of vair the old French
word for ermine which in time became
corrupted into verre glass Chicago

The Beavers Tooth
No carpenters chisel can do more ef
fective work than is turned out with
ease and neatness by the beavers
tooth This is the principal tool with
which these patient clever builders
construct their dams The outer sur
face of the tooth is a scale of very
hard enamel while the body of it is of
softer dentine As the softer sub
stance wears away in use the end of
the tooth takes a chisel like bevel leav
ing a thin slightly projecting edge of
hard enamel as sharp as any carpen
ters tool fresh from the oilstone The
thin scale of enamel gives keenness
the softer dentine supplies strength
and thus the combination forms a for
midable tool which actually sharpens
Itself by use
A Queer Festival
A queer festival is celebrated in Ma
lacca every ten or twelve years The
opening of the festival is signalized by
a grand procession in which huge piles
of eatables take a large share At the
end of the third day the viands are
burned On the last occasion the piles
of food were placed in a specially con
structed boat which was towed out to
sea and there consumed by fire togeth
er with all the contents A large Bum
of money amounting to several thou
sands of dollars was subscribed large
ly in Singapore for the proper observ
ance of the festival
The Point of View
Henry if I were a young man like
you and expected to have to make my
own way in the world some day I
should try to make my expenses come
within my income
Father If I were as rich as you are
and had only one son Id try to bring
his Income up to his expenses Chi

3IRTHPLACE OF MASSAGE
Jacer Nubia Where the Inhabitants
Never Take a Ilath
The masseur had just returned from
Nubia the birthplace of massage
I didnt learn as much as I expected
to he said but I got hold of two
movements that will eradicate wrin
kles and remove fat in an incredible
way
Nubia Is a queer place They have
so little water there that they never
take baths The masseli or kneading
whence our word massage is the
baths substitute You strip He down
and are covered from head to foot with
a cream made of mutton fat musk
sandalwood powder and certain plant
Juices Then you are kneaded you
are massaged I studied the Nubian
movements thoroughly and learned as
I saj good things
The Nubians are a handsome and
queer race They hunt elephants with
the sword A hunter steals upon a doz
ing elephant and slashes him In the
back of the leg ten inches above the
hoof Tills cut severs the artery and
the elephant bleeds to death
They cook meat on hot stones
First they build a fire then they put
big stones on it and when the stones
are hot enough they clean them of
ashes and embers carefully and throw
on the meat This is a better way of
cooking than the broil for it preserves
all the meat juices But greenhorns
dont know what kind of stones to use
Most kinds heated explode
The Nubians are shapely and hand
some They never wrinkle they never
get fat their skins are smooth and
fine They impute these graces to the
inasseh the massage that they take
regularly three or four times a week
Every masseur ought to go to Nubia
if he wants to learn his business thor
oughly

Where Vessels Have Eyes
Painted on the prow of nearly all the
Junks or Chinese sailing vessels are
to be seen huge eyes It is believed
by the superstitious Inhabitants of Chi
na that if the eye which is raised as
in relief was not there the vessel could
not see where to go and would there
fore come to destruction Even if
when at sea the eye got destroyed or
damaged another would have to be
painted In at once No Chinaman will
sail on a junk which is not adorned
by an eye and even an English pas
senger boat which plies between two
Chinese towns has a huge eye painted
on each side of her paddle boxes
Whitman on Emerson
I often say of Emerson that the per

I find nothing in literature that is val

measure of the passion the blood and
