Curious ways of expressing ideas iu English may be expected from foreigners, as, for instance, when the French man. who made a call in the country and was about to be introduced to the family, said: "All. ze ladies! Zen I vould before, if you please, vlsh to purify mine 'nnds and to sweep mine hair." A Scotch publican was complaining of his servant maid. He said that she could never be found when wanted. "Sboil gang oot o' the bouse." he said, "twenty times for once she'll come in." A countryman went to a menagerie to examine the wild beasts. Several gentlemen expressed the opinion that the oraug ontang wns a lower order of the human species. Hodge did not like this idea and. striding up to the gentleman, expressed his contempt for it in these words: "Pooh! He's no more of tbe human species than I be." "Mamma, is that a spoiled child?" asked a little boy on seeing a negro baby for the first tim. A shop exhibits a card warning everybody ajralnst unscrupulous persons "who infringe our title to deceive the public." The shopman does not quite say what he means any more than the proprietor of au eating house near the dock, on the door of which may be read the following announcement conveying fearful intelligence to the gallant tars who frequent this port: "Sailors' vitals cooked here.' Philadelphia North American. Definition of True Humor. The sense of humor is the "saving sense" principally because It saves as from ourselves. The person who cannot laugh at himself now and then is to be pitied. Moreover, the person who cannot take good naturedly the occasional bantering of others is in the same class of disagreeables. A well directed Khaft of raillery will often find the vulnerable point in our armor of self complacency and show us where our self satisfaction Is ali wrong. True humor, however, mus; spring as much from the heart as from tbe head. Its essence must be truth and friendliness, not contempt. There never was a goo-.l ji;e yet that told lie or besmirched a reputation. Ilnmoi which carries wl?h ir a stiug to wounc! the sensitiveness or delicacy of om who does not deserve To suffer is no' true humor v-in Fran- 'sco Chronicle - ' A Help to Patience. A man who bad to leave his office and who was expecting a caller to pay him some money left this notice qn his dfr: "1 have gone out for halt au hour. Will l back soou.

London, July 8. With the slownest that is characteristic of everything and everybody here, the British Army Council has at last realized that in the future war aerial scouts are bound to become a very important factor, and regulations for the organization and employment of a new air batallion recently raised at Aldershot have at last been issued. The Army Council regards the new unit as one of the most valuable means of obtaining information at the disposal of the commander of an army. It will not, however, replace other means of acquiring information, such as cavalry and agents, but will be used in conjunction with such services. The air battalion is to be so distributed that the units may not only be placed in the best positions to obtain information, but to co-operate with the other arms and especially with the cavalry, in this all important service. The manner in which reconnaiss-r ance is to be carried out is to be left generally to the discretion of those who will actually undertake the duty. It is considered that there is less risk from positions behind rather than in front or on the flank of the enemy when seeking information, as the enemy's dispositions will probably have been made with a view to concealment from observation from the front and flanks rather than from the rear, whilst for fear of damaging his own troops he may hesitate to fire on vessels sailing over the rear of his columns. Vessels also, when so placed mar escape fire through being mistaken for friendly aircraft. The presence of troops, if in the open, can be observed in clear weather at altitude of 5.000 to 6,000 feet within a radius of four to six miles from the aeroplane or dirigible. When nearer the earth objects will be rather more easily distinguished, but are a shorter time in view, and the area is restricted. Dirigibles, it is stated, will be exposed to considerable danger from artilery fire when lower than 4,500 feet or within a range of 5,000 yards, and from rifle or machine-gun fire when at a height of less than 3,500 feet or at ranges under 2.000 yards. Against aeroplanes it is thought that the fire of field artillery will rarely be effective at 4.500 feet or at a range of 4.000 yards and upwards, whilst reasonable security from the fire of small arms may be expected when 3,000 feet from earth, or at ranges of 2,000 yards and over. High speed, movements in curves, and frequent changes of direction and elevation are suggested as means to reduce the probability of being shot. Concealment in the clouds, if possible, when approaching the enemy is also another useful hint. For transmission of intelligence from dirigibles wireless telegraphy, signalling, or carrier pigeons can be used. As might be expected the English suffragettes are jubilant over the success of their monster procession through the streets of London a few weeks ago. which created a very strong impression, and emphasized the fact that public feeling towards the movement has undergone a vast change during the last year. I asked Miss Christabel Pankhurst, one of the leaders of the movement, yesterday whether the suffragists ever intended to resume their former militant tactics, which, according to many, have done great harm to the cause. "It all depends on circumstances. he rejlied "we axe a.otjarticularIy

Esther Cleveland, born at the White House, was the tlrst offspring ot a president to possess that honor. Britishers Now of Aerial Scouts fond ourselves of maKlng what. Ameri cans call 'roiri lrmse,' but we surely do not wisa anyone to think for a mo ment, that there is any weakening or our militant spirit. We are strong believers In its usefullness under cer-j tain conditions and we are still prepared to resort to militant tactics when it is necessary. "The events of the last few weeks have impressed upon the minds of' the people of England that representatives of every political shade of opinion are in favor of our movement, which is undoubtedly the most popular political movement of the day. "The task immediately to engage our attention now is to increase the strength of our organization and to pay particular attention to our constitutional work. "July will be one of our busiest months. In London we shall hold meetings at the Pavilion, PicadillyCircus, every Monday afternoon. When the autumn comes we shall invade every parliamentary constituency. "We fell we are going to win, and that the conciliation bill will soon go through." When Alfred Vanderbilt some seasons ago began to run his now famous coaches between London and Brighton he probably did not imagine that these trips revealed to a number of Londoners the wonderful beauty of the country between this city and the south coast of England, and that as a result coaching would reach a popularity which former generations, who merely used the stage coaches because there was no other way of traveling had never dreamed of. Still this is really so. More coaches will soon be traveling along English roads than" ever before for a company has been formed, which is even now building motor coaches, which within a week or two will be making daily trips between Piccadilly Circus, Dover, Brighton and other well known seaside resorts. The coaches are to be a delight to the eye. They will be built on the lines of the old stage coaches, but it is intended that they shall be eminently utilitarian. It will be part of the scheme of the company to place its facilities at the disposal of the post office for parcel carrying purposes, and also to devote ten per cent, of its profits, in return for certain facilities to the towns through which the coaches pass. The usefullness of the scheme has been amply proved In te case of the motor service linking up the seaside resorts of Thanet and Wej-mouth. It is stated, however, that the pro ject may not end with the stage motor coaches. The canals in course of time will be utilized to a much greater extent for passenger traffic, and there are signs that the motor-driven craft may soon be as familiar a sight on our great waterways as the motor omnibus is at present in the streets of London. Queen Alexandra, the beautiful and gifted consort of the late Edward VII has now virtually passed from the stage and will never again be reckoned a power among the European royalties. In hailing the new English born queen, English society hurriedly drop ped the queen mother, though she will never be forgotten by the masses of the EngliEh people, who have always known ber as the friend of the poor and downtrodden, and even now there arg many, ladies p the, English, aria-

tocracy who are sighing for the day. when a less narrowminded. less lgoted queen made it a rule never to inte fere with the personal freedom ot het surroundings, far less to dictate ts them how wide their dresses must be or pretend to know how much of their necks was fit to be seen in evening dress. Most of them are already sighing for the days when the gay func

tions of the court were presided over by the mirth loving queen who is now as lost to the world as any cloistered nun. None can deny that the dowager queen has always been adored by the English nation and the late king openly admitted that he owed much of hi popularity to her. Her beauty and charming smile won such a place for her in the popular heart that when the then Prince of Wales was made unpopular by the baccarat scandal the matter was only patched up by having the adored Alexandra drive everywhese and appear constantly in public side by side with the Prince. Queen Alexandra will have Marlborough House as an official residence but she will spend most of her time elsewhere, principally at her country place in Norfolk. Che Outdoor Girl Pleyinfl Tennis. Tennis, says the Woman's Dome Companion, is a game which requires a great deal of bodily activity and produces a quick heart action, and a quick heart action necessitates deep breathing. Clothes which prevent deep breathing prevent both proper playing and keen enjoyment of the game. In other words, tight clothes should not ' be worn. Corsets which are so long as to Impede free leg action are not . fit for tennis, for a girl cannot run well without having free leg swing from the hips. Bloomers, a soft, unstarched duck or flannel waist and skirt, woolen stockings (to prevent foot soreness) and tennis shoes which fit snugly without being tight form tbe proper costume. The other two handicaps. Inferior muscular development and slow nervous reaction, can be avoided. If not overcome. Inferior muscular develop '. ment is inherent. But one of the beanties of tennis as a game Is that It can t be played without great strength. Tbe ; player who depends upon speed and . strength of shot alone is almost sure of 1 defeat at tbe bands of the careful "place shot" player she who. without either strength for smashes or great speed of ball, puts the returns where they just can't be reached. "Nervous reaction time" means the time which elapses between the will to do anything and the doing of It. , Players who are slow in tbe nervous . reaction time will start' to run to get '. to the ball they see coming over tbe net a fraction of a second later than those who have a quick nervous re-, action time. The slow thinkers will ' swing their racket at the ball too late, often bitting at it after It bas gone byBut nervous reaction time as applied to tennis can be trained. Just as tbe. muscles can be trained. And there la no finer, quicker method of training , than playing tennis with a brick op, stone wall. If you can get the use of the side ot , A house with smooth ground near It . draw a line three feet from the ground ( on tbe wall, representing tbe net, and proceed to "play the wall." Strive to , make the ball hit the wall above tbe line. It will, of course, rebound to the ground. lilt it again. Hit It reasonably bard, so the return Is swift. Hit It at various angles, so you have to , run after tbe return. It is astonishing . the Improvement which a few hours . of such practice will make In your r game because or the increased nerr-. vous reaction speed. ' ; . , Correct Carriage. When you walk the whole body: Bhould be thrown into a state of mild tension, putting every muscle into vigorous, responsive action. It should be so perfectly balanced that every part does its work without strain. The abdominal muscles should hold in tbe stomach quite possible even with the portly If they wiU but make the effort. Tbe shoulder, blp and ankle joints should be upon a line, the chest held high and head erect, but not tipped back. The correct position of the head may be tested by holding a book upon tbe crown. In this position tbe body requires its greatest ease, and every muscle performs a maximum of labor with, a minimum of waste and consequent expenditure of force. Etiquette of Sports. In regard to tb etiquette of sporte, nearly every outdoor recreation is practiced under the guidance of formal rules that the fair minded sportswoman should scorn to neglect. But ' these rules must be supplemented by certain minor niceties of behavior that are not laid down in tbe fixed regulations.' Courtesy and consideration for others are tbe underlying principles in every form of etiquette, and nowhere is it more necessary than in outdoor sports. - What woman cares to ride or drive with a man who is not thoughtful for her comfort? What man or woman cares to play tennis or golf with a person who is rude or tricky in playlngs? And so on through all of the outdoor recreations.
