American tourista abroad often com
ment upon the literal translation into
English of notices in foreign languages.
The well meant efforts of landlords and
others to convey in the language of the
visitor the meaning of the native often
produce laughable results.
A Washington citizen found this no
tice posted in his room in an Alpine
hotel :
"Misters , the venerable voyagers are
earnestly req-uestcd not to take clothes
of the bed to see the sun rise for the
color changes. " Washington Star.
A Rigvl Uutcli L.O.IV.
More than 20u years ago the Dutch
rulers of Ceylon , anxious to retain their
inonopolj' of the precious spice for
which that island is famous , enacted a
law which made it a capital offense to
buy or sell the wild jungly cinnamon ,
then the only sort known. The plants ,
wherever found , were held to be the
property of the state. If a shrub
chanced to spring up in a man's dooryard -
yard , he could neither destroy nor use
it under severe penalties. Things are
happily" different now.

"It's always well to be on the safe
side , " mused the burglar , with a glow
of satisfaction , as he crawled into the
bank through the opening in tfce wall.
