TIME TO SEEK YOUR TRAIN

Preliminary Windup of Announcer Should Be Signal for Intending Traveler to Get Busy. A train announcer is a much misunderstood individual. His is indeed a much-abused calling—of stations. But those uncouth, unintelligible, Inarticulate mouthlngs which are his wont when properly warmed up to his work are, if you must know, merely an evidence of your own abysmal ignorance, says Henry H. Cralgie in Judge. What he is really reciting through his megaphone, and which sounds to your uneducated ear like a cross-sec-tion of a buzzsaw apd an asthmatic phonograph, is probably a poem from the Sanskrit, or some delicate strophe from the Syro-Chaldaic poets. It goes sometlilng like this: “Blpxz-r-r-rzyz-nowreddyntrackfour,” but it is not his fault if you need an interpreter to tell you what he is saying. ' Paraphrasing the Immortal words of a contemporary—l think we may call it the RRR of NG—“Your program is Your Timetable,” and about as useful o you as a menu card a la Francaise s to a deaf mute with an intensive appetite for ham and eggs. For your timetable is really your key to the cryptic utterances of the train announcer —and nobody is supposed to understand either. Under the- hypnotic spell of his subtle eloquence you do not miss your train—until it has pulled out, and sometimes not then. If you are slightly deaf it adds to your enjoyment of the occasion, or you can make a game of it, as some do, by utilizing an opera glass in an effort at lip reading. But if you are wise, at the first sound of his preliminary windup you will hunt up that train of yours by main force —and the devil take the MndmosL Delays are dangerous. -•

TREE EXUDES MILKY FLUID

Said to Be Highly Desirable as Food ■—Also Converted Into Substance Resembling Cheese. Interesting mention has recently been made of ®the “cow tree," so named from the milky fluid it produces. “For many weeks we had .heard a great deal of a tree whose juice is a nourishing milk. Incisions, made in the trunk of the tree are followed by a profuse flow of gluey and-thick-ish milk, destitute of acridity and exhaling a very agreeable balsamic odor. Though we drank large quantities of it, both at night before going to bed, and again early in the morning, we experienced no uncomfortable effects. The negroes and free people who work in the plantations use it by soaking in it "bread made from maize. When exposed to the air, this fluid displays on its surface, probably by the absorption of the atmospheric oxygen, membranes of a highly animal nature, yellowish and thready, Ilka those of cheese. The people give the name of cheese to the curd which thus separates when brought into contact with the air. The milk itself, kept In a small bottle, had deposited a small portion of coagulum, and far from being fetid, continued to exhale balsamic scent.” \ .

Story of Horror.

Doubt /vas expressed in print recently that many of the present generation had read “Frankenstein.” Certainly the knowledge of that book is not too general to forbid a narration of the circumstances under which It was written. Mary Woolstonecraft Shelley was the wife of the poet. In her seventeenth year she eloped with Shelley to the continent, arid he married her after hie first wife, Harriet, committed suicide. Byron and Shelley and .Mary, in the summer of 1816. were living near the Lake of Geneva. Being bored during a rainy week, they whiled away the dull hours by reading German ghost stories, and finally agreed to write imitations of them. Byron wrote the “Vampire” and Mary wrote “Frankenstein.” It is the story of a man of that name who, after many horrible experiments, created a “monster eight feet high, who thereafter haunted him, murdered his friend and and strangled his bride. Frankenstein pursued his monstfer to the arctic regions. There he died of cold and remorse. The monster thereupon vanished! _ ' ' -

Samoan Politeness Costly.

Conceptions of politeness run many freakish gamuts but In the opinion of Lieut. Com. Stanley M. Mathes, a visitor in Honolulu, the palm goes to the Samoans. When a man tendered*his Samoan .servant a pack of cigarettes from which to extract a smoke, Com tnander Mathes grinned broadly. “Yon can’t do that with all he. “Their conception of the proper thing to do is to take not one cigarette, but to take five.” Frequently when. Samoan chiefs visit the naval officerat Pago Pago they demonstrate how polite they can be. For instance, whet i a box of cigars is placed on a table, the guest takes as many as he can get into one handful. When he is about to depart he goes to the box and takes another handful, a token of politeness. And be it said for the Samoan that when a visitor enters a Samoan home said visitor is expected to be lavish in

Simple Tastes.

“I suppose you will use a few figures of speech.” "No,” replied Senator Sorghum ; “the people haven’t much Ijking for rhetorical figures. What they want now 1* plain arithmetic.”

ALL IN ONE GREAT FAMILY

Hindus Draw Relationship Close, Knowing No Word as Cold as "Cousins."

AH able-bodied members of the Hindu family must contribute their labor and esirnings. whether of personal skill or agriculture and trade, to the common stock, writes Bhupendranath Basu. Weaker members, widows, orphans, and destitute relations, all must be maintained and supported; sons, nephews, brothers, cousins, all must be treated equally, for any undue preference is apt to break up the family. We have no word for cousins—they an? either brothers or sisters—we donot know what are cousins two degrees removed. The children of the first cousin are young nephews and nieces just the same as the children of young brothers or sisters. The family affections, the family ties, are always very strong, and therefore the maintenance < f an equal standing among so many members Is not so difficult aS it may appear at first. Moreover, life is very simple. Until recently shoes were not in general use at home, but sandals without any leather-fastenings. I have known of a well-to-do middle class family of

several brothers and cousins who had two or three pairs of shoes between them, these shoes being only used when they had occasion to go out, and the same practice is still followed in the case of more expensive garments, like shawls, which last for generations, and w r ith their age are treated with loving care, as having been used by ancestors of reverend memory. The joint family remains together sometimes for several generations until It becomes too unwieldy, when it breaks up into smaller families, and you thus see whole villages peopled by members of the same clan.

SET EXAMPLE IN COURTESY

Venetians Were the First to Put Before World the Nobleness of Gentle Manners. Pompeo Molnienti, the historian, relates that in the sixteenth century the manners of the Venetian people were evident In every department of daily life, even down to the greetings -in-tho street. The very nobles In the Seleento, the period of greatest hauteur, were wont to salute courteously by raising their cap with the left hand and laying the right on the heart. The populace was always obsequious, especially toward patri-cians^-and foreigners, and to every question addressed to them would never answer brusquely, “Yes,” but always, “At your service,” though this humility of expression implied not so much servility as an inborn courtesy of feeling. The penalties for blasphemy were exceptionally severe. For instance, Benlgna, in his memoirs, writes, under June 28, 1724: “A certain Bertelll for having used foul oaths was placed in the pillory and had his tongue cut <ut.” Yet, ceremony in Venice was never allowed to degenerate into ridiculous etiquette. As early as the close of the sixteenth century a resolution was passed forbidding the use of glowing expressions in salutations.

Skating Has Patron Saint.

Skating is the only sport that can boasjt a patron saint. Her name was < Lyffwlna, and she sponsored skating back in the fourteenth century. Her home town was Schiedam, in Holland. Her family name was ancient and honorable, and her father followed the honorable profession of night watchman. Nevertheless, Thomas a Kempis, among other notables, found her interesting, for he met her and wrote the details of her life for all to read. Lydwina was fifteen when some boisterous girl friends dragged her out against her will to skate on the frozen canal. No sooner, had they started on their holiday excursion than one of them bumped into poor little Lydwina—and jammed a perfectly good rib. That put her put of the running for all time, it seems, and as she lay on her couch of pain she was comforted by strange visions, and before her death in 1433, it is claimed, wrought several miracles ( through her piety. ,

Old-Time Skating Clubs.

As early as 1742 skating clubs were formed in Scotland. The first American club was established in PhiladeljShly. in 1849, and quickly attained the prominence it still holds for artistic performance. Dae to the efforts of this club the skate came into its own, for in 1850 Philadelphia brought to bear the skill of the surgical instrument maker to prodjice the modern steel blade and foot plate. The Boston arena —until its destruction by fire some time ago—held firstplace among the world’s rinks as possessing the largest indoor skating area in the world. This record has now probably passed to Prince’s Skating club in London. The building itself is as solid and enduring as most British institutions, and the walls in the rink proper are adorned with splendid friezes of winter scenes.

Rare Forethought.

“Yus, mum,’’ said Meandering Marmaduke, “I were, a very precocious child, mum. Why, would yer bulleve it, I began to smoke when I were only six years old.” “Why, you degenerate brute!" exclaimed the horrified old lady. “Why did you do that?" “Well, yer se*» ; mum. by I were old enoiigh to shave I ’ad saved up enough coupons for a razor.”
