may be understood from the story of
Wu Meng example No 20 Wu Meug
It seems was very obedient to bis
parents One day at the uge of eight t
he noticed with pain that the mosqui
toes annoyed hl parents while they
were trying to sleep Presently he hit
upon a plan to rescue them
Says the author of this classic The
buzzing of the mosquitoes sounds like
ylug ylng und their united hum is -almost
equal to thunder His tired
parents are reclining on their bed
their countenances already sunk in i
slumber Legions of mosquitoes fierce
ly uttack them alternately retreating
and advancing Tbe insects disturb
the dreaming sleepers and with an
noyance they toss from side to side
Wu sees them sucking his parents
blood which causes bis heart to
grieve His flesh he thinks can be
easily pierced but that of his parents
Is hard to penetrate Lying on the
bed he threw off his clothes and soon
feeling the pain of their attacks he
cried I have no dread of you nor
have you any reason to fear me
Although I have a fan I will not
use It nor will I strike you with my
hand I will lie very quiet and let
you gorge to the full
Thus did the parents of Wu Meng
get a chance to sleep in peace
COLOMBIAN ETIQUETTE
Daily Handshaking and Greeting Con
sume a Lot of Time
It was the third or fourth day out
from Santa Marta Colombia and early
In the morning when one of the South
American passengers came on deck
Another South American arose from
his deck chair extended his hand and
as the men shook hands inquired after
the health of the newcomer his wife
and his children
As they had parted company only
about eight hours before in tbe smok
ing room -this seemed like unnecessary
courtesy The observer noticed that
this happened In the case of all the
Colombians on board so he asked one
man about It
It Is a custom of the country said
he On the occasion of meeting a per
son for the first time each day it Is
etiquette to shake bands and to make
inquiries about the health of the per
son so greeted and of his relatives It
would not be considered polite to do
otherwise
Continuing this man told of taking
a walk one day In Bogota with a
chant of the place They were bent
on business and were to cover a
tance that might be made rather easily
In ten minutes Because of the neces
sary stops to make the customary in
quiries and to shake hands with friends
of the merchant the trip took nearly
an hour New York Sun

A countryman having been sum
moned to appear before the magistrate
for not having a sign on his cart was
In due course brought before him
The magistrate asked him If he had
anything to say for himself and he
replied that he had a difficult question
to ask which he could not solve him
self
The question Is this he said The
wheels of the cart belonged to John
the miller and the body of the cart
belongs to the vicar and the bag of
old bones meaning tbe horse belongs
to me Now gentlemen if you can
tell me what name I can put on It
I will have It done immediately

cent experiments on foods to determine
which are the best for strength and en
durance It has been proved that eaten
of Quaker Oats and such cereals are far
superior In strength and endurance ta
those who rely upon the usual diet ol
heavy greasy foods
When all is said and done on the
