SHE WAS A CREOLE. ,
Her Visitor Was Sorry For That Until
He Was Enlightened.
It was snowing in the north, but in
New Orleans the air was as soft as
May, and in. a garden brilliant with,
flowers and sunshine the winter vis
itors drank after luncheon the famoua
Creole coffee.
"How good this Creole coffee is!"
said a young man.
"I make it," said the hostess. "I am,
you know, a Creole."
The young man looked shocked, hust.
"Well, after all," he said in a low voice,
"you can't help that, and I'm sure no
sensible person thinks any the worse of
you."
His hostess, who was very beautiful,
with hair and eyes like night, laughed
merrily.
"Define the word 'Creole,' " she said.
And the young man replied, "A Creole
is a descendant of French or Spanish
Immigrants, with a touch of negro
blood in his or her, veins."
"And the word means just the oppo
site!" the woman cried. "A creole is a
descendant of French or Spanish immi
grants whose veins hold not a drop of
negro blood."
"Well, well! I didn't know that"
"No!" she said. "Nobody from the
north does. The word creole is prob
ably the unique word of the dictionary,
a word that is universally misunder
stood. Why, it is as though you thought
up there in the north that white meant
black." New York Tribune.
AN EARLY PURE FOOD LAW.
English Bakers Had to Be Careful In
the Old Days.
In the time of Edward I. of England
innkeepers were not permitted to make
either bread or beer. The former they
were obliged by law to buy from the
baker and the latter from the brewer.
In "Customs of QUI England" F. J.
Snell declares that if the law defended
what was considered the legitimate
claim of the baker to a proper liveli
hood it was equally solicitous for the
welfare of his customers and was most
severe upon the baker who sold bread
deficient in weight or quality.
For the first offense he was drawn
on a , hurdle through the principal
streets, which would be thronged with
people and foul with traffic, with the
offending loaf suspended from his neck.
From a pen and ink sketch of this cere
mony it appears that the unhappy
tradesman wore' neither shoes nor
stockings and had his arms strapped
to his sides. It seems also that two
horses drew the hurdle, which suggests
that it rattled along at a pretty lively
pace."
For the second offense the baker en
joyed another ride upon the hurdle and
then underwent an hour's exposure in
the pillory. If he proved so incorrigi
ble as to commit the' offense a third
time his oven was demolished and he
was forbidden to follow his trade.
Queer Egyptian Burial Customs.
. The Egyptians have many curious
customs in connection with the burial
of their dead and the healing of the
sick. At every Moslem funeral, for in
stance, there are hired mourners, vary
ing in number according to the wealth
of the deceased. These funerals are al
ways headed by old blind men, carry
ing long staffs in their hands and wail
ing loudly. They are followed by the
relatives and friends of the deceased,
and then comes the coffin. This is suc
ceeded by two or three of the native
fiat carts common to Cairo, filled with
women mourners. Mourning, in fact, ii
quite a profession among the women.
Every- day you see groups of them
squatting on the ground outside the
hospital at Cairo, waiting to be hired
for a funeral. Wide World Magazine.
Unique Signs In France.
Frederick C. Penfield was walking
along a New Jersey road while hia
chauffeur fixed a broken tire. He no
ticed a danger sign at the roadside.
"In France," he said, "at the entrance
to their towns they have signs that ard
characteristically French and seem to
me delightful in spirit. Over the road
as you enter the town limits is an arch
on which is printedV the 'name of tna
town, the number of the road for ah
the roads are numbered in France and
ihe name of the department in whicli
