without friction or conflict BERLIN BEER HALLS Where One Must Display Great For mality and Prsciseness Berlin Is organized for eating and drinking and so are the Berliners or ganized for it Scattered ail over the city arc enormous places where food is served wine halls where only wues are served and beer halls which deal in beer alone some of them most re spectable and some not so impeccable It is the rule that it is perfectly proper to take your mother or your wife or your sister to a beer hall or a wine hall that is frequented by the officers of the army They go only to the prop er ones publicly The etiquette of these places is most formal If the hall Is crowded and tables are scarce before you sit down you draw your heels together and make a military bow to everybody sitting at the table you select then also you raise your glass or stein to those at the table when your refreshment Is served On leaving you bow all around again or the other people at the table bow if they leave before you do The Ameri can way of asking the others at the table for permission to sit down Is not ceremonious enough for the Germans who are the most formally polite peo ple in the world Samuel G Blythe in Everybodys Magazine nah A FAMILY MIX The Story as It Is Recorded en the Tombstones In the early part of the last century there lived in an old New England town a Mr Church who in the course of his pilgrimage through this vale of tears was bereft of four wives all of whom were buried in the same lot In his old age it became necessary to re move the bodies to a new cemetery This melancholy task the much be reaved widower undertook himself but in the process the bones of the la mented quartet became hopelessly mixed Priding himself on possession of a New England conscience Mr Church would not under the painful circumstances permit the use of the original headstones but procured new ones one of which bore the following inscription Here lies Hannah Church and probably a portion of Emily An other Sacred to the memory of Emi ly Church who seems to be mixed with Matilda Then followed these lines Stranger pause and drop a tear For Emily Church lies buried here Mixed in some perplexing manner With Mary Matilda and probably Han- Philadelphia Ledger The Star Arcturus It is probable that the star Arcturus is one of the six greatest of all the stars in the sky Notwithstanding its brightness it is so far away from us that it is not displaced in position in the slightest measurable degree as we change our position 1SO000000 miles in our annual journey around the sun Could we be placed midway between Arcturus and our sun we would receive thousands of times more light and heat from the star than from our sun and this notwithstanding that the stars radiation is smothered by a dense blanket of metallic vapors In spite of its immense distance the star is drifting slowly in a southwestward direction over the face of the sky its motion changing its apparent position by an amount equal to the diameter of the moon in the course of about 1000 years So great an apparent mo tion must indicate an enormous veloci ty in space New York Press Peppermint and Tobacco If you have a boy who has begun smoking too early and whom you wish to cure of the habit feed him pepper mints Dr O Clayton Jones of Silver ton England writing in the London Lancet is authority for this simple cure Dr Jones writes To break the smoking habit in a youth there is noth ing better than peppermint drops He cannot smoke with a bullseye in his mouth and even for some time after it is dissolved tobacco will not blend kindly with the taste that remains Socially the cure may seem worse than the disease but from a medical point of view the sucking of peppermints is far less hurtful A common bullseye will prevent smoking for nearly an hour so the amount of sweets used need not be great His Discharge A touching instance of the humor which never deserts a true Irishman even in his worst troubles is recorded A soldier was seen in the trenches holding his hands above the earth works His captain asked What are you doing that for Pat He replied with a grin as he worked his fingers Im feeling for a furlough sir Just then a rifle ball struck his arm just below the wrist Then a queer ex pression of pain and humor passed over his face as he exclaimed And faith its a discharge Lon don Answers I

so as to afford accommodation to those desiring to pay their respects to Mr Bryan or consult with him on various aspects of the canvass Fairview is an ideal home for a man of Mr Bryans tastes and inclinations The Democratic leader was born on a farm and has always lovel the life of a tiller of the soil even when the du ties of his calling necessitated his liv ing in a city or traveling much about the country Now he has a farm of his own and in the center of it a resi dence which while not palatial or pre tentious contains all the comforts and conveniences for which one could ask and affords room for his library and the many souvenirs and relics which he and Mrs Bryan have collected in the course of their wanderings in dif ferent parts of the world The distinguished pair have had un usual opportunities for making a valu able collection of this kind It should not be forgotten that Fair view is the home of Mrs Bryan as well as that of the man who is so prominent in the politics of the nation Indeed perhaps Mrs Bryan should have more credit for making Fairview what it i than her distinguished husband He certainly would wish that credit to be awarded her She superintended the construction of the house the erection of which was begun in 1901 Mr Bryan being away from home much of tho time during this period They had pick ed out the site together some years be fore when they used to take horseback rides out from Lincoln and became im pressed with the beauty of the scenerv in the vicinity of the village of Norma if fl 7feft MRS WILLIAM J BRVAN They bought a few acres at a

bargained with Pro tagoras the ancient Greek sophist for instructions agreeing to pay one half of tho fee down and the other half on the first day ho gained a case It took the young man so long to learn that his tutor came to the conclusion that he was delaying his start In business to avoid paying the other half of the fee so Protagoras sued him for the money When the case came up for trial Pro- tagoras said to the young man You act most absurdly young man be cause In either case you must pay me If the judges decide against you you must pay and if they decide for you you must pay for you will then have gained your case You are wrong replied the young man I will win either way If the judges are for me 1 will not have to pay and if they are against me I will not have to pay for this last was the very bargain between us namely If I did not win my case The judges considered the case inex plicable and as they could not see their way to any decision they ad journed the case to a day that never came for any of the principals On Protagoras side it was a case of los ing when he won and on the young students side winning when he lost ANIMALS AMBIDEXTROUS Why Man Gives Preference to Right Hand Over Left Right handedness and right eyedness came with genus homo Dr George M Gould has watched for them in squir rels that use their front paws to hold nuts cats that strike at insects in the air or play with wounded mice and In many other animals but he is certain no preference is given to the right side over the left But in the lowest human savages all over the world choice in greater ex pertness of one hand is clearly present One cause for its development is in primitive military customs In all tribes and countries since man used implements of offense and defense the left side where the heart lies has been protected by the shield and the left hand was called the shield hand while the right hand was called the spear hand Next to fighting came commerce The fundamental condition of barter ing was counting with the low num bers one to ten The fingers of the free or right hand were naturally first used and all fingers today are called digits as are the figures themselves while tho basis of our numberings is the deci mal or ten fingered system Every drill and action of the soldier from ancient Greece to modern America is right sid ed in every detail Firing from the right shoulder and sighting with the right eye bring the right eye into prom inenceExchange Her Protector Well sir explained young Mr Sooberbs it was like this I thought my wife might be

Ho runs a paper in Detroit called Truth which like an other organ of nearly tho same name published in Now York should bo called more properly Untruth Well this is what Truth says in re vealing its remarkable discovery to the world Tho trouble and bnd feeling that exists in so many of tho Protestant churches to day is caused by some of its preachers who attempt tn speak up on tho subject of tomperanco who do not know tho first principle of human nature How much moro good they would do if thoy dovoted moro of their valuable time sticking to tho more beautiful stories the Bible tolls The writer of this paragraph evident ly does not know that a preacher is not a mere teller of beautiful stories He is a prophet And a part of the prophets duty is to denounce ovil Tho liquor business is a frightful ovil It is de stroying the life of the individual and tho nation No preacher with a con science can keep quiet in the presence of this blistering curso To devote more of his valuablo timo sticking to more beautiful stories tho Bible tells night be agreeable to the man who is debauching tho people but the preacher would be faithless to his calling No The pulpit is pitted against tho saloon Tho preacher must fight the iniquity wherever it shows its head It is a part of his business The Bible makes it so And it is in a large mea sure the faithful and persistent preach ing of temperance and prohibition by tho pulpit that is responsible for the present tidal wave of reform It is fill ing the hearts of the liquor people with dismay but makss the heart of right eous folks to
