LAND OF GAUDY UNIFORMS People of Buencs Emp Certainiy Geo in Strong fer Glit Braid and - “Trimminga®

For dull days the professor and I invented a new gamhe—counting of unlformed men and boys to ‘the block in Buenos Ages during business hours. Even the poor school boys and gitls wore white dust coats that hid many deficiencies in wardrobe. Of course, banks had their usual quota of giltbraided messengers, the postman, bellhops and cable employees were in regulation garb and the department store errand boys and chauffeurs wore the insignia of their respective companies, ‘But, not content with these every other business that could devise an excuse for s doorkeeper or handy man about the shop had at least equipped bim with an official cap. Even the peddier had mought to dignify his calling with a uniform. I saw him in front of the banks and in the entrinces to the larger buildings, togged out in giit trimmings s&snd monogrammed headgear, diligently standing there all day long with one lone box of peppermints and accosting each lkely customer with his wares.. They were in the same class with bedraggied chaps who brought guide books in the mosnings and ran after all the old residents, maps fluttering in the breeze. Others msoid poetry along Florida avenue each evening, in competition . with & newsboy paid to shout, instead of the headlines, the newest bargains advertised in the inner_pages of his papeérs.—Frances 8.

FRESH WATER IN THE ARCTIC

Constant Supply Always on Hand If Expiorer Knows Just Whera to Look for It

~ No one doubts:that the ocean is salt. It sees reasonable to suppose there fore that the ice of salt water must also be salt, but the inference is only partly correct—a fact that many polar explorers, says Mr. Vilhjalmur Stefansson, have never found out. When sea ice forms it is salty, though perhaps not quite as salty as the water from .which it is made. During the winter it probably loges a certain amount of salt, though gven in April and May ice formed during the previous October is still too salty for ordinary use in cooking. In June and July, when rains begin and the snow melts, little rivulets, trickling here and there over the ice, form & network of lakes connected by channels of sluggishly-flow-ing water. Those ponds and streams are not salt, and when they freeze the following year the ice from them will supply the purest water possible both for cooking and for drinking. So the polar explorer who knows of this fact need never fear for bhis water supply.— Chicago Journal, ‘

Fish Foed, Prixed by Chinese.

~ The rarest sea food consumed todiy is' probably that furnished by, the amphioxus fisherles in China, aad there is believed to be no other foed in general use whese source of supply is confined te so limited an area. The amphioxus, a tiny marine animal averaging about three grains in weight, has been captured for centuries by the inhabitants of the village of Liuvutien, nea Amoy, on a Narrow strip of sea bottém less than a mile wide and extending for about six miles along the sea coast. . On this little strip: of coast about 200 small boats, each manned by two men, are eagaged for from two to four hours 4aring the ebb tide of every calm day from August to April in dredging for amphioxus for the market, the catch per. boat averaging about 13 pounds & day. Between six and seven million of the tiny creatures are caught every day. ; The inhabitangs of the region near the fisheries prise the amphioxus as a dainty. i

Pleasant Place to Live!

. /Earl Russell’'s memoirs contain :a number of sporting reminiscences. In his chapter on yachting he recalls conditions in Marsellles in 1887. .“Walk“ing home about midnight we used to walk carefully im the middle of. the street, while I kept my revolver handy; this was on the advice of old Pognano (2 French engimeering friend). He ‘sald that in the guarter near tlie harbor there were & number of people who would cut your throat or knife you for ten framecs, and. his instruetions . were quite .sifnple and direct: “Walk in the middle of the street; if any man sidles up te you or offers to ask a question, bid him keep his distance; if he doesn’t, shoot him dead.’ . I suggested that this method, however desirable, was perhaps a little drastic for civilized countries. “Oh, no,’ cheerfully replied Pognano, ‘you just leave your card on the dbody, and all the police will worry you for is to pay the expense of the funeral.’” -

‘Bernhardt’s Eight Girdles.

Sarah Bernhardt had an irresistible fascination for -artists, and among those who fell under the spell was Sir BEdward Burne-Jones. One of hig let‘ters, published in his “Memorials,”| con“taing an amusing reference to Bernhardt's Cleopatra. The ‘serpent .of old’ Nile” would wear a dress in the play, he sald, se bejeweled that, in ‘comparison with her, Theodora—an‘other of Bernhardt’s parts—“would look Jike poor Mrs. Booth. Eight girdles she is to wear, and I have just -maddened myseif thinking how eight girdies could be worn.

UNDERSTAND TALK OF BIRDS

Arablans Boast That They Can Mold Converse With the Creatures of e Alr.

To understand e languages of birds is peculiasly ene of the boasted sciences of the Arablans, who pretend that many of thelr countrymea bhave beea skilled ia the Enowledge of the language of birds @¢ver since the time of King Solomon. il It is related that Balkis, queen of Sheba, had a bixd ‘culled Hud-hud—-that is, lapwing—whieh was her trusty messenger to King Solomon. Another story teils that when Athejaj, a famous Arsbian cemmmander, and & camel driver were talking together, a bird fiew over their heads, making at the same time an unusual sort of noise. The camel driver, hearing it, looked steadfastly on Athejaj, and demanded who he was. -Athejaj, not choosing to'answer, desired to know the reason of that question. “Beecause’” replied the camel driver, “this bird assured me that a company of people is coming this way, and that you are the chief of them.,” While he was speaking, Athejaj's attendants arrived. . ~ Pigeons are the fuvorite bird of the Mohammedans, ‘as, according to: their legends, a pigeon Duilt its nest in front of a cave ‘whete their prophet was ‘hid, and thus favered his escape from ‘his enemies.

Madstone Trestenent a Falliacy.

- The belief that a .madstene cures hydrophobia is sn .old tradition with ne foundation. The Pasteur treatment administered by s competent physician is the emly effective treatment known, Nor centuries the fallacy of the madstone treatment has existed among mea. - But, according to physicians, no person treated with a madstone ever recovered if the poison of rables actuslly found its way into the bleod. Mamy persons, after having been attach®d by a supposedly rabid animal, hawe recevered upon the application of a madstone to the wound. The madetone’s effect, however, was wholly imaginary. s The history of the madstone is as mythical as the efficacy 'of the stone in the treatment of rables. It generally is conceded, however, that the “stone” was a part of the practice of medicine in India in the latter half of the Seventeenth cemtury. Later explorations carried it to Hurope .and thence to Amerign.—Kansas City Star.

Cockfighting Oid Bport.

Cockifighting hes flourished at one time or another in most countries of the world. The gambling attendant on such encounters led, in 1366, to the first prohibitlon of cockfighting in Engiand. This prohibitien was, in dve course rescinded, and Henry VIII bulit the cockpit In Whitehall, destined to g 0 many vicissitudes. In Peru even church dignitaries have figured among the lovers of “feather.” When Sir Clements Markham was investigating Peruvian antiquities in 1868, he enjoyed the hospltaitty of a bishop who, atter dinner, produced a gamecock and fought a match with the Cura Par roce’'s bird on the dimner table,

On the Might Shift.

Nighthawks and whippoerwills werk chiefly at night, when most of the oth‘or birds are off: @uty, and at daybreak their goed woek is takem up by the swifts and swallows, says Nature Magazine 'of Washington, These birds are provided #vith big seapnet mouths, and ‘as they swing through the air over ‘wide areas of ceuntry they scoop wp almost unbelievable numbers of insects.
