Syracuse Journal W. G. CONNOLLY, Publisher. BYRACURK INDIANA. CORDIAL MANNERS IN SPAIN Snobbery, So Prevalent In Most Coun tries, Is Unknown in the Land of the Don. The Spanish “fonda” has an atmosphere all its own, The waiters are universally courteous and universally quick .and attentive. Their courtesy is much more genuine than that of the French waiter, much more agreeable than the fawning of the Japanese and a delightful novelty to the American whp is used to the indifferent service for which the waiter in his “home” hotels expects a tip out of all proper tion to his deserts. The agreeable re latlons existing between the Spanish <waiter and those he serves is probably due in no small measure to the unique attiude of the classes toward one another in Spain. There is no equivalent ih the Spanish language for the English word “snob.” Coexistent with a peculiar pride of race and position there exists in the heart of the Spanish “hidalgo” a perfectly friendly and cordial feeling toward persons in what are called for convenience the lower walks of life. Upon the other hand, the laborer, the artisan and the waiter maintain an atattitude of the classes toward one anclasse” unaffected by the bitterness that is often felt in countries where snobbishness causes the “lower classes” to be constantly conscious of the sentiment of the wealthy and socially prominent that men are not equal. The Spanish waiter is therefore polite, but not servile. He accepts a gratuity gratefully, but does not, by word or manner, hint that it should be larger if it seems to him to be inadequate.—Springfield Union. » Using Time. It is always easier to wish that we had more time, than to use the time that we have, says a writer in the Sunday School Times. So, by wasting time in wishing, we still further reduce the precious asset of the actual and only time that is really ours. The person who is not capitalizing all the time he has at the rate of 60 seconds' to the minute would not be much better off with 48 hours in his day. who turn out what is, to the rest of us, a discouragingly large amount of work, have simply learned the art of using all their time—particularly the nooks and corners, the odds and ends, of their time. They utilize a five or ten-minute scrap of time as eagerly aa they do a half-day. And so things get done, and their year's output seems stupendous. With the average man, unless he can see several hours clear for a piece of work, he wiH attempt little out of the - ordinary; and that is why he remains an average man. In Crowded Quarters. Elliott Woods, superintendent of the capitol, recently told a story about a new southern member of the house whose frugality he is commending to ‘ his congressional friends. The new member arrived in town and hunted Superintendent Woods up immediately. “I reckon I’d like to look at my quarters.” said he to the superintendent He was taken to the house office building and shown to one of the substantially furnished office rooms. “This is fine,” said the new member, "but where are my other rooms?” "Oh, you can't have another room for several years, not until you have become chairman of a committee.” replied Woods. q “My God!” exclaimed the southerner, “how do you expect me to sleep, cook, eat and work in one room?” — New. York Circumventing Hoodoo. A woman who sets particular store by the thirteen superstition surprised her friends by accepting an Invitation to a luncheon where there were to be thirteen guests. “I will be safe,” she said, “for I shall make it a point to be the thirteenth person to enter the room. That is a funny thing about thirteen. Many accidents have happened to companies thirteen in number, but investigation has shown that while the other 'twelve persons suffered more or less the thirteenth person who joined the company always escaped unharmed.” Less Monotonous. The caller had laid his troubles before the lawyer. “What I want, as you readily understand." he said, "is a divorce. I ” realize that there will be attorney fees, necessary expenses and some delay. What will be the total cost?” - "The lawyer figured it all up and gave him his estimate. “Well,” said the caller, rising, “I thihk 1 shall go to Reno. The cost wifi be just about the same, and IH get-more scenery.. Good day.” • $1,500,000,000 Bond Sales Annually.

« KAISER TO REVIEW GREATEST OF GERMAN FLEETS “T v\ B® *' IB yak << ” ' s WHATEVER may be the underlying motive that has prompted the Ger mm government to increase its navy so enormously within the past few years, it must be admitted that today it is the second naval power in the world and the end is not yet. Early this month the sea power of the empire was demonstrated at Kiel under the eye of the emperor in emphatic fashion. One hundred and forty warships were in line, including twenty-two powerful battleships.

Scamp Poses as Son of Peer and Hoaxes Dunshaughlin. People of Quiet Little Town Rise to Occasion of Entertaining Sprig of Aristocracy—Wish They Hadn’t. Dublin.—lt isn’t every day that the people of Dunshaughlin, a quiet little town near Dublin, have the chance to entertain a young sprig of the aristocracy. but when the chance does eome they rise to the occasion. They rose to it a couple of days ago, but now they wish they hadn't. He was an uncommonly aristocratic looking young man and when he walked up to the Dunshaughlin workhouse he was dressed in the most approved motoring outfit and was smoking a big and expressive looking cigar. He* Introduced himself to the master of the workhouse as “the Hon. Dr. Moore,” and said he was on his way to take holiday duty for Dr. O’Reilly of Trim. He explained that his motor had broken down just outside the town and that he had walked in to see if he could borrow the car belonging to Dr. O’Reilly of Dunshaughlin, which he seemed to know was kept at the workhouse. Now, in Ireland, when a man has an “Hon.” before his name it means that he is the son of a peer, and this young man looked the part The master was extremely sorry Dr. Reilly’s motor car was not in at the time, and he offered to lend “Dr. Moore” his own bicycle, which offer was accepted. “Dr. Moore” rode off and sold the bicycle in the village and then went to the inn and had a substantial dinner, and left, saying he would come back and stay for a day or two. He didn’t pay for the dinner. He wab next heard of at Lord Dunaany’s house, where he Introduced himself as “Lord Clifford.” Unfortunately, Lord Dunsany was away from home, but his servants exerted themselves to make his aristocratic friend comfortable. He stayed for tench and, in fact, stayed so long that

BRIDE IS SOU'iDLY SPANKED Eloping California Couple Married at Quincy Bump Up Against Most Unusual Experience. Quincy, Cal.—Edward Prince and Badie Acres eloped on horseback from Clio and were married here. On returning from the Methodist parsonage to their hotel after the ceremony,, the parents of the bride, who had followed in pursuit, hoping to prevent the ceremony, confronted them. When they learned the wedding ceremony had been performed, Mrs. Acres boxed the ears of the groom soundly, and then, in view of a large number st summer tourists, spanked her daughter. An application to the sheriff revealed the fact that the girl was only sixteen, and the parents could proceed against Prince in a criminal action. After some consultation, argument and pleading, however, on behalf trf the bride and groom, Mrs. Prince's parents forgave her and the two couples left for home, a happy wedding party. Battle Giant Sturgeon. New York. —Hundreds of baseball enthusiasts on their way from the Polo grounds lingered for half an hour on a bridge spanning the Harlem river to watch two men in a motor boat battle with a giant sturgeon. The crowd grew as the fight continued and fpr twenty minutes all traffic was tied up. Henry Essig and Tom Bible, the men In the boat,' sank their boat hooks into the fish and finally drew their prize to land? The fish was 8 feet 7 Inches long and weighed 406 pounds. It is the largest ever •aught within the city limits.

he had to borrow Lord Dunsany’s motor car to take him to Dublin. He also discovered just before his departure that he was ridiculously short of money, so he allowed Lord Dunsany’s house steward to advance him $lO to see him through until the banks opened in the morning. When he got to Phoenix park he dismissed Lord Dunsany’s chauffeur, saying he would walk across the park to the Kildare Street club. After that he dropped out of sight. Os course, there isn’t any “Hon. Dr. Moore” or “Lord Clifford,” and the workhouse master and the innkeeper and Lord Dunsany’s steward are all anxiously waiting for the police to find the pleasant young man. The Dublin corporation is not always an admirable body, but It did an admirable thing the other day when it conferred on Prof. Kuno Meyer and Rev. Canon O’Leary the honorary freedom of the city of Dublin. These two men have been responsible for sthe restoration of the Irish language to its proper place lamong the tongues of the earth more khan any others. A movement has been started to invite Lord Iveagh to become lord mayor of Dublin this year. Lord Iveagh is the head of the great Guinness brewing firm and has made many princely gifts to Irish charities. Dentist Job on Bass. Winsted, Conn.—A big-mouthed bass in Highland Lake wears or carries a set of false teeth belonging to James Turley of New York, who is sojourning at that resort. Turley went out bass fishing with Dennis Coffey. The city man, his eyes and mouth wide open, was looking over the side of the boat into the deep, clear water when a swell from a passing motor boat rocked the craft and his false teeth fell into the lake. As he peered downward he saw the teeth disappear in the mouth of a large bass, which swam away with them. If any piscatorial artist should catch a bass having in his possession the missing teeth, he will confer a favor on the owner by leaving them with Dennis Coffey.

MAIL BY AEROPLANE

Air Line Is Coming Soon, Asserts Aviator Moisant. Airman Points Out a Novel and Valuable Field for the Flying Machines In the Near Future. Chicago.—That aeroplanes will be carrying some of Uncle Sam’s malls within a short time was the prediction made today by Alfred Moisant, head of the Molspnt Aviation company, during a conversation with regard to the lessons of the Chicago air meet “There Is not the slightest doubt in my mind,” he declared, “that a share of the registered and special delivery mall will be transported over aerial route at no very distant date. With aeroplane service In the postal department, important mail which now is compelled to wait on the train schedules could be carried speedily to Its destination, provided, of course, the points ware not too far distant to be reached during daylight hours. “This is only one of the possibilities for the aeroplane demonstrated by the Chicago meet, which served to teach lessons not only to the flyer and manufacturer of aeroplanes, but also to the promoter of avation meets. “The builder had the best opportunity ever offered of comparing the relative merits of the various types, of the direct and chain driven, of warp against aileron and many other points which could not be gained by the study of any one machine.

NEVER SEES MAN OF DREAMS Unique Philosophy of Sixteen-Year-Old Affinity—Third Person Should Never Interfere. Cincinnati, O.—“ The principal thing in life is to be happy. If a man or woman love each other no third per son ought to interfere with that love. Renunciation is an absolute virtue. 1 had ideals a couple of years ago, but these are shattered. After ail, a girl never meets the man whom she has pictured in her dreams. One cannot command affections. The heart acts in spite of all commands.” This is the near-philosophy of Helen Jenkins, the 16-year-old affinity, whose case came up the other day before the juvenile court. For two years or more she has worked as a stenographer. Her relations with William Kuhn, a married man, and the father of four children, have been platonic, according to all testimony. “Had you and Kuhn planned to mar ry?” was the next question. Helen hesitated. “We had talked the question over. He told me he was not happy with his wife and that he would seek a divorce. I went to see Mrs. Kuhn. Sbe aijd I met on friendly terms, and we talked it over. I felt that she was willing to give her husband a divorce if, that would make him happy.” IS HAPPY WITH $9 A WEEK Little Suffices Where Love Abounds, Declares Buffalo Man, Arrested for Keeping Dog. Buffalo, N. Y.—While paying a fine of $lO in the city court here for keeping an unmuzzled dog, Paul Gerth vouchsafed the information that his weekly wage was $9, which provided for a family of eight “Is that enough to care for them all properly?” asked the court, and Gerth replied that he would not exchange places with Rockefeller or Carnegie. “Not all the money in the world would make me any happier, judge,” he replied. "We have everything we want and a little something over. We don’t claim to have solved the problem of existence, but where there is real love a young couple can get along on little.”

“And, in spite of the two very deplorable fatalities, I believe it-waa demonstrated that the aeroplane la not the dangerous vehicle it commonly has been considered. One of those accidents could have been averted by the exercise of greater care. "Mr. Badger’s machine broke under a strain fifty times greater than any aeroplane should be called upon to withstand. The accident to Johnstone was due to some personal equation and not to any fault of the machine. His foot may have slipped, or some other thing may have happened, which caused him to lose control. “We have had railroad trains for eighty years, but accidents continue. Automobile accidents are a dally occurrence, and even the drivers of horse-drawn vehicles are not Immune from accidents. The aeroplane is only a little more than two yean old, but It is developing fast, and within a few years it will be a safer and better means of transportation than either automobiles, trains or steamships.” Turkey Buzzard Causes Wreck. Los Angeles. Cal.—The Ilves of a score of passengers on two In-bound beach cars were placed in jeopardy the other night by a huge turkey buzzard, who charged the brilliant headlight of the flyer. He missed his alm and crashed through the glass door, knocking the motorman back into the aisle. The other car, having the right of way, was already on a switch and the can crashed, both being derailed. None of the passengers was injured.

LINEN LUNCHEON SETS HOW TO MAKE PRETTY CENTERPIECE AND DOILIES. One Cannot Have Too Many of the Latter—Lace Squares or Ovals Are Generally Used for the Mats. The omission of a° tablecloth for breakfast and lunch is so general that do housekeeper can have too many plate doilies. This is a tip to the girl who is wondering What she can give a wealthy friend. It is possible with little effort to make a complete luncheon set, centerpiece, plate doilies and tumbler doilies to match. The first should be twenty-eight or thirty inches in diameter, the plate dollies nine inches and the tumbler size five and p. half Inches. Use a good round thread linen of fine, firm grade, as some women do not care for the coarse crash effects for table use. If possible, get handbleached quality.i It costs more, but wears much better. Both colored and white embroidery are in good style, but if elaborate work is to be done the all white set is more satisfactory, as it stays in style longer and washes better. Do not attempt more elaborate designs than you can do well. There is nothing uglier than rough, coarse embroidery and A simple chain stitch or brier stitched set is prettier than badly worked satin or eyelet stitch. A novel effect In arranging rows of scallops is to form shallow pyramids, pointing to the center. This needs careful measuring and some computation before any stamping is done. Arrange the designs for the three sizes on paper, and trace or take an Impression from that It takes less time and is more accurate than to draw on the design free hand. A crocheted lunch set is always in favor and lovely simple patterns can be found. If you want this kind of a set to be appreciated work firmly, as the loose mats will not launder in the stiff forms now in vogue for such mats. The girl who does lace work can make exquisite lunch sets at small cost. A filet set with a nine-inch square for the plate doilies, a six-inch, square for the tumblers and a 25-inch square for the centerpiece makes a handsome gift done. It is more novel to use just the lace squares or ovals for the mats than to combine with linen or other lace. The hostess can use them over a color for variety. Edges are sometimes finished in a buttonholed Vandyke, or if the machine net Is used the strands are turned in along the bar and buttonholed over to make a straight edge a quarter of an inch deep. It is often possible to pick up sets of lace motifs that can be applied to linen at bargain prices. The Irish crochet medallions sold by Armenians by the dozen can be turned into handsome sets by combining with a little hand embroidery in satin stitch and cut work. Another good looking set for one who does not embroider is made by combining small lace squares with cluny or filet insertion. These can be finished with a narrow picot edge or with an applied linen hem.

FOR THE SMALL GIRL Hl l lii 3 11 1 R * H This dainty little garment' is in white cambric. It is a sacque shape, and is finished down fronts and lower edge with Insertion embroidery and a narrow lawn frilL A large collar to match, also edged with a frill, gives a smart finish. The little bonnet is of the embroidery, edged with a frill with colored < rosettes sewn each side. The same style would work out very well in cloth or cashmere with collar and trimmings of silk of the same color, or for autumn, velvet might be used; the pleated frill

EMBROIDERY DRESS. i W I w si’Ar l IM 1 7: ?pa Whll" IPHere Is a very dainty dress of piece embroidery, the pattern of which is so arranged as to form panels in center front and back and at the sides. The waist-band of insertion terminates each side panels. The bodice is cut Magyar; the un-der-sleeves are of finely tucked lawn. Hat of pale blue Tagel, trimmed with pink roses and foliage. Material required: 7 yards 24 inches wide. The Peasant Bodice. The peasant bodice continues Id popularity, although in a modified form, with much of the former simplicity and severity relieved by the application of braid and embroidery trimming and the introduction of oneinch pleats or pin tucks across the tops of the shoulders and sleeves. Simulated jumper effects applied over the peasant bodice are another variation. The waist-line is still raised -slightly, and is usually finished with a narrow belt placed upon the bodice. The long straight tunic, reaching almost to the bottom of the skirt, is a smart cut, both for the one-piece dress and the skirt of the tailored suit— Harper’s Bazar. A Change of Style. Though it Is the fashion to speak and write as though petticoats were no more, it is only the extremists who altogether dispense themselves from the wearing of such garments. It is a sign of the way the wind Is blowing that silk petticoats are again being largely stocked up by the big stores, and that at their sates it was not silk that was being disposed of at fabulous prices, but clinging frilled and fringed petticoats of satin that were marked “reduced.”

would, in this case, be of silk hemmed at the edge. The little bonnet would be made of the same material as coat, trimmed to correspond. Materials required: 2 yards Insertion, 1 yard embroidery for collar and bonnet, % yard lawn for frills. The Newest Tea-Gowns. The tea-gown is practical to wear at home in the afternoon or evening, and will save the street gown and the more elaborate evening gown. The lines of the best tea-gowns are long and loose, but at the same time a tea-gown should not be shapeless. A long coat effect Is good, provided that the gown itself over which the coat is worn has a belt or girdle. This should be placed high up under .the arms to give the Empire effect. There should not be much fullness if the material is on the order of or net The soft-finished satin gowp to be worn under a lace coat Should fit or, rather, should be so cut as to indicate the lines of the figure. —Harper’s Bazar. The Tanagra Tunic. Among the new tunics that have been devised in the midsummer is one that is directly copied from the Tanagra figurines. These little statues have given many ideas to the dressmakers this season, since the classic styles imve been so much in fashion. Tfre drapery must be thin and sup,ple. It is over a skirt of itself or one of another fabric. The idea is not only kept for elaborate gowns, but is used with flowered organdies, with figured marquisettes and with allover lace and messallne, which is coming back into fashion.

GREW STEADILY WORSE. Chicago Woman Experiences Terrible Suffering Kidney Trouble. Mrs. Emma Kunze, 1649 N. Hal- ’ sted St., Chicago, 111., says: “A crick took me in my back and the pain was bo terrible I could not straighten. I

And that stows I’m not half as mean as you are.” “WHY SHOULD I USE CUTICURA SOAP? “There Is nothing the matter with my skin, and I thought Cuticura Soap was only for skin troubles.” True, it is for skin troubles, but its great mission is to prevent skin troubles. For more than a generation its delicate emollient and prophylactic properties have rendered it the standard for this purpose, while its extreme purity and refreshing fragrance give to it all the advantages of the best of toilet soaps. It is also invaluable in keeping the hands soft and white, the hair live and glossy, and the scalp free from dandruff and irritation. While Its first cost is a few cents more than that of ordinary toilet soaps, it is prepared with such care and of such materials, "that it wears to a wafer, often outlasting several cakes of other soap, and making its use, in practice, most economical.

Mrs. Browning. Apropos of the jubilee of the death of Mrs. Browning, it is not generally known that the event occasioned one of the tenderest things her husband ever wrote. He tended her alone the night before she died, and wrote of her passing in a tetter of infinite pathos addressed to their mutual friend, Mrs. Blagdon: “Then came what my heart will keep '’till I see her again, and longer—the most perfect expression of her love to me within my knowledge of her. Always smiling and with a face like a girl’s; and in a few minutes she died in my arms, her head on my cheek. . . . There was no lingering or acute pain, nor consciousnes of separation. God took her to himself as you would lift a sleeping child from a dark, uneasy bed Into your arms and the light.” Social Distinction. In some parts of the south the darkies are still addicted to the oldstyle country dance in a big hall, with the fiddlers, banjoists and other musicians on the platform at onejend.
