In the smallest settlements one sees peddlers squatting before their trays of little boxes holding lime and seeds of tobacco and packages of syrah, or green betel leaves.

The betel tree among the most common in Slam, sending up a trunk sometimes full sixty feet, always, like the cocoauut, limbless except for Its bush of a top, where, again like the cocoa, the nuts grow in closely attached bunches, to harden and redden before gathered. The cardamom seed, or clove, is an extra of the well to do and especially of tlie women. The common habit among men of the country is to add a pinch of tobacco after first rubbing it over their gums. The bright red saliva from chewing is, in the town house, carefully deposited In a handsome silver receptacle. In the up country house slits between the open bamboo flooring obviate the necessity for such niceties.

But always-on formal occasion, even in the jungle edge, the betel nut chewer carries his box for the freely flowing juice that stains the teeth a which among the better class with care and attention becomes a highly polished black.

BBAJtCH OFFICES, York fntfht ITI-1. Carlom Illxlor) of tbr Word "Vote." How "lletleaK:" Gut It. Name. "Vote" is a word with a curious history. To the Uomau a "votuui" was a solemn promise made to a deity.

From the solemn promise itself the meaning of "votiim" gradually became tbe prayer or intense wish that accompanied the promise aud -then any intense wish whatever. So far the development proceeded in Latin, and "vote" passed into English with the same sense. When Ben Jousou wrote of "public votes" to heaven he meant not mass meeting resolutions, but prayers. Finally "yote" acquired Its present meaning, the formal and emphatic expression of a wish, while'the old sense remains with its double "vow." That openwork bag for shopping, called a reticule, gets its name directly from the Latin "little net." Popularly, however, the word Is supposed to owe its existence to the fact that when an Englishwoman visited the first Paris eibibi.tion little bag in her baud the Parisians cried "Ridicule!" The Englishwoman, misunderstanding the exclamation, is said to have thought it tbe correct translation of "little bag' 1 aud returned to England calling it a "reticule." Philologisls claim that the phrase to "sleep like a top" conies from the French ''dormir comnie une taupe," to sleep like a mole. It is said, too, that Cinderella's slippers were not made of glass, but of "vair," the old French word for ermine, which in time became corrupted into "verre," News.

HoIV to Water I'lantl. Watering plants is really an art that few understand, says, a writer in the New York Telegram. Many women give them little drinks every day and because tlie earth on top is moist think that the roots are being well provided for. But daily sprinkling is not beneficial as a rule. TJic watering times had better less often and thorough tban once in-'twenty-four hours, when only the upper soil is wet and the roots are left thirsty.

I believe in the old fashioned way of Immersing tbe plants hi a bucket or big tub full of water at a temperature that 1 will not chill and let tbem stay for several hours until there can be no doubt that the water has penetrated to tbe very bottom, where hiost of the roots gather. Tbe best time to do this is in the morning, so that most of tbe moisture will have bad time to be absorbed or drained off before the cold of the night can chill'the'plants. One way of wash: Ing off the leaves and at the same time watering the roots is to place the plants under a faucet and turn on a small spray. This islecidedly beneficial, for It falls on them Just as rain does. Whenever it is possible put the pottM plants outdoors, so they can be rained on, tof a person can almost see them grow after such a wetting from nature.

MOURNING CUSTOMS. Bwsrt II. hare fireu a name to a new ailment 111 "flat foot" or breaking down of tlie arch of the Instep. This trouble Is to be caused by so much goiif up and down stairs I elevated i i and Jumping off curs. The snn.ll bonus which.

unite to form the arch of the foot sink downward slowly or suddenly, as the case may be. The bones of the instep uro and when from excessive mounting of stepping dowu from moving curs or other strains these bones lose their cohesive pmver and sink down they bring the arch under instead of on the top of ihe foot. Tbe muscles of the foot have no power to lift these small bones Into their place and sink witli thorn. Tlie a i is excruciating even for some time before tlie breakdown and Is nearly always mistaken for rheumatism. About the Ix'St remedy for this too common trouble is to avoid it by stepping on tlie foot and ubjve all by having the shoes made with a decided curve uniler the instep ami hav- i i part of the shoe made very strong ami solid.

This supports the under part of the arch and sustains it. There are various contrivances for this purpose, some made of hardened rubber to place in tbe shoe and so formed as to support that portion of the foot, but they slip about so that they fail of tlielr purpose. Tin Instep supporters are also prescribed, and, -while better than the rubber ones, they still fall far short of perfection and are apt to hurt. The rubber supporters cause the foot to perspire, the celluloid ones are hard and have no spring, while the metal ones give many causes for complaint. The very best and surest of all the plans for the alleviation of this modern complaint Is to wrap a narrow bandage with surgical precision around that part of the foot as Boon as It begins to feel weak or grinds along the CLEANING FINE LACES.

place and aches. This cloth bandage is the best possible support aud if persisted In, supplemented by high instep shoes, will cure even after the evil -Is done. For persons who have much climbing to do or much standing It Is a wise precaution to keep the Instep wrapped firmly, but not too tightly. The comfort of this It great, and there Is nothing to slip or fail of Its mission. Row to Reach it PnblUher.

Yet by the exercise of a little patience many resemblances may be discovered among them. The widow's cap, for example, dates back to the days of ancient Egypt. Egyptian men shaved the beard and head as a token of mourning. The women, Instead of cutting off the hair, concealed it by a close cap. The Romans, who were as a race clean shaven, shaved the head in mourning and wore a wig.

The black band on the sleeve as a of mourning comes to us from the days of chivalry. The lady tied a scarf or napkin, as the handkerchief was called, about the arm of her knight. If he was killed In battle she wore the band in memory of him. Black has so long been the color of grief in Anglo-Saxon countries that it seems a. part of the upside down civilization of the east that Japan and China wear white.

But no longer ago than the time of Elizabeth the unfortunate Mary of Scotland wore white on. the death of Darnlcy. Even now the hearse used for. children is white, and in England the mourners at fu tierals of young unmarried persons wear hatbands and sashes of white. A queer English custom Is that of decorating the black horses with' long false black tails.

They attract no more notice on a street In Liverpool than do the black nets used in this country to cover the horses. A great many sensible people protest that wearing tokens of mourning Is a barbaric custom that should be abolished or greatly modified, but when loss and grief actually come Into the individual life one discovers that Is a strange, subtle fitness In gloomy garments and that they answer to the need of the soul for silence and separation.

Let the child lie with his ear against a covered hot water bag or heat a flannel over a lamp and place It against his ear, changing it often so as to keep it very hot. If this does not help, try syringing the ear with very hot water of a temperature of 105 degrees to 110 degrees Do not use a poultice or blister unless the doctor especially orders it.
