In the minds of the untraveled foreigner, are rather hoyden creatures, who smoke and have other masculine traits. After dinner one day In tho early ac quaintanceship of the couple the o Ul cer offered the Louisville girl a ciga rette, and upon her refusing It he said: "Why. I thought all the girls Iu the United States smoked." "So we do." replied the girl, "but never cigarettes, only pipes. If you will get thnt pipe off the mantelpiece In the next room I shall be charmed to smoke with you." Not suspecting the Joke she was play ing on him, the orrlcer brought the pipe nnd filled It. and It wns not until he saw the wry faces his friend made In attempting to carry out the joke thnt he appreciated the situation. He wns continually telling the American In a tone of surprise thnt she was just like the girls nt home In England, and her rejoinder was: "Lieutenant, don't you think a lady Is a lady the world over?" Louisville Courier-Journal. Con nam pt Inn. Pulmonary tuberculosis Is not n con tagious, but only a communicable dis ease. The contact per se of the con sumptive Individual does not convey tho disease. It Is now well known that it Is mainly the tuberculosis expectora tion, which, when dried and pulverized to dust, constitutes the main danger of Infection. The means to prevent Infec tion from tuberculosis expectoration or saliva expectorating only lu proper vessels, spittoons nnd pocket Masks, proper use of handkerchiefs during coughing, etc. are now also universal ly taught. It is absolutely demonstrated that a tuberculosis patient. If he takes proper care of his expectoration, does not con stitute any danger to his fellow men. In sanatoria and hospitals exclusively devoted to the care of consumptives it Is of the rarest occurrence for au at tendant to contract the disease, the hygienic precautions being so thor ough. It may indeed be said that in these houses for consumptives one is less liable to contract consumption than outside of them. Dr. S. A. Knopf in Forum. Mill Proctor's Mistake.

"I guess," be said, "It was pretty good, but she ought to talk about lions and tigers. That's better for everybody." At another lecture a youngster crit icised her as follows: "It's all very well to talk of weighing aud measuring stars. There are some people, of course, who believe that sort of thing, but if she thinks she can fool us boys with such fairy tales she's very much mis taken." Boomernnita Not New. The Australian aborigines are not the only users of the boomerang, nor were hey the first to use that missile. The Egyptians kuew all about It, Just as they seem to have known all about ev erything else. At Uie present day the boomerang Is used by some American Indian tribes and by the Dravldlan races of the Indian peninsula. The nlssllu used by the last uamed differs In that It Is thicker than the usual form and does not return to the throw er. The return of the boomerang Is due to the action of the wind, the shape of tho weapon and the manner In which It Is thrown. Ilia Request.
