It diminish tlie Wonder to suppose the

Bhakespeure. That a human being pos-
r-^ aessed of the faculties necessary to
make a Shakespeare should exist la
extraordinary. That a human being
possessed of the necessary faculties to
make Bacon should exist Is ex tin or
dlnary. That two such human beings
should have been living in l.oi.don at

Hed Color In Dattle.
The number of soldiers slain in battle
depends a great deal on the eolor of
their uniforms. The more crfuspicuous
the helmet and Jacket the better the
target, and consequently the greater
the mortality. Bed attracts the eye
most readily, and twelve men wearing
that color are killed to seven In rllle
green or six in blue or tlve In either
brown, blue-gray or gray.—London An-
swers.
Philosophy Ancient an* Modern.
"Eplctetua said all philosophy lies in
two words, 'restrain' aud 'abstain.' "
"Well, Epictetus may have had it fig-
ured out all right In his day, but in
these times philosophy seems to be
pretty fully expressed in the two words
'gain' and 'retain.' "—Chicago Uecord

Viand* That Are st Onee Appetising
Nutritions and Inexpensive—Popu-
larity of Ve«etablea and Sweets.
The National Utah.
Some of the dishes found on Turkish
tables might well be adopted by the
American housewife, being appetizing
and Inexpensive and easily prepared
from articles that are to be fouud here
In great abundance.
Turks do not care for salads, but pre-
fer meat, lish. vegetables and sweet
dishes. The Bosporus furnishes a great
variety of excellent fish, among them
the red mullet, oysters aud mussels,
but the Turks have, no idea of the
chriice of cuts and simply ask for so
many okas, caring nothing so that they
get meaty pieces with few bones.
Corned beef, roust beef, steak these
are unknown. Mutton, beef, a little
veal, fowls and game ore eaten. Pork
Is "the unutterable flesh."
Breakfast with the Turks of all
classes consists of a cup of coffee and
bread. A piece of cheese rolled into the
fat pancake is eaten by the laborer*
This is sometimes exchanged for cakes
that are much like pretzels, only larger
and not so hard. In the fruit season
different kinds of fruit are added.
Black bread made of unboiled rye flour
is sold everywhere and wheu fresh is
delicious. With a few grapes, a piece
of the native cheese and a cup of coffee
the richest man Is satisfied.
With all fish, lobsters and many
meats a sort of salad dressing Is served
made of garlic, oil. breadcrumbs and
vinegar, all bruised to a cream, with
caviare or cucumber. Mussels are much
larger than in this country. They are
washed, steauied uutil they open, then
tilled with rice, chopped onion aud pep-
per and butter, packed closely in a ves-
sel aud baked an hour.
Turks make few soups, as they prefer
solid food, but sardines, anchovies and
salted olives or pistachio nuts are eateu
before meals as appetizers. Of vegeta-
bles, which enter largely into their
diet, the favorite is the tomato, and
Scarcely any dibit is considered com
pleta without It. though they never eat
tills vegetable raw. To preserve toma-
toes for winter use they boil them un-
til the skins are loose, then pass them
through colanders, after which they
throw salt into the pulp. This causes it
to settle, and the water is poured off
while the residue is put into thin bags
and hung in the shade. The next day
it is spread on flat surfaces to dry.
Later it is cut into squares and laid
in covered jars. This |>rocess retains
the taste and qualities of the tomato
better than canning, and a little water
makes the pulp moht again.
Potatoes, a taste for which is an no
quired one with the Turk, are firtl
boiled, mashed with eggs Hud a little
flour, then made Into cakes and fried
Beans and liina beans are boiled with
tomatoes and butter and sometimes on-
ions. Squash is sliced and fried or
stuffed with mincemeat, onions and
boiled rice, and then baked. Large cu-
cumbers are also stuffed with inincod
meats and baked or are eaten raw witb
salt. One good stew is made of mut-
ton and green peas. Another has all
sorts of vegetables, like an Irish stew.
Eggplant is cooked in many ways,
some of them palatable aud good. One
•recipe is called luiambailde, .which
means that the imam for whom the
dish first was made fainted with de
light at its excellence. To make it, cut
slits in the sides of the eggplant and in-
sert a forcemeat of onion aud minced
chicken in tlie cavities. Tie strips of
cloth around and fry thoroughly in -boil-
ing fat. Another way is to substitute
eggplant for potato in u stew. Toma-
toes should also be added.
Moussaka, another aud better form,
calls for oue large eggplant, sliced rath-
er thick, without peeling. Have a
quart of tomutoes freshly peeled or
canned and one pound of minced beef.
Fry the beef until it separates, set
aside while the eggplant Is being fried,
then put alternate layers of meat, egg-
plant aud tomatoes in a deep dish;
leasoa and bake in a slow oven oue
hour.
Another delicious dish resulta from
placing sliced onions, tomatoes and
a hip's bread or soda biscuit in layers,
with a generous piece of butter. In a
covered dish. Bake slowly four hours.
Pllaf, the natlouul dish of Turkey, is
served invariably at every dinner. ttlc«
always forms the foundation, und the
most popular variety Is that where
nothing but butter, tomatoes and rice
Is used. Take three-quarters of a
pound of Carolina or Egyptian ric^
wash until perfectly clean and whlW
still wet place in a pan with one-quar-
ter of a pound of butter. Stir over thi
Are until tb« rice has abeorbed the bub
ter and become a light golden color
Add the rice to three pint* of strained
tomato Juice, boll the whole up once,
then draw aside to cook, without stir-
ring, ror twenty-five minutes. Wb®u
doue. melt another quarter of n pound
«f butter,, and when the pllaf la dished

CARIBOO MURDER.
k* Ifetrfonndlnnd Plihcnua Kill
Hundreds For Raltlag.
Newfoundland is probably the only
conntry In the world where venison,
.ltcd or fresh, is a ataple article of
diet for the masses.
The coast folk make their plans with
method and deliberation.
From the harbors where they reside
they go In their boats to the rivers and
fiords which strike into the Interior.
When navigation Is no longer possible,
they deharK and continue on foot tp
the deer country. They carry barrels
filled with salt and sometimes go In
large companies. When the rendezvous
Is reached, they camp. They ambush
themselves along a promising "lead" or
deer track, armed with long six foot
muzzle loading sealing guns, which
they charge with about "eight fingers"
of coarse gunpowder and "slugs" of
lead, fragments of iron or bits of rusty
Balls, whichever they may have. They
fire point blank Into a herd of earibou
as It passes aud, being usually good
shots, contrive to kill almost anything
they aim at or to wound it so badly
with these dreadful missiles that it
Boon collapses. Then they skin and cut
up the meat, for these men know a lit-
tle of every trade, and pack it in the
barrels, with the salt as a preservative
—Outing.
SECONDHAND STORES.
wm
The Oriental nnd Ills IIuk*.
A recent writer on oriental rugs says
that there is no arbitrary test by which
an inexperienced person can tell a gen-
uine rug from a bogus one. Knots and
Btrands mean nothing except iu con-
nection with other Important elements.
Shades and spots are imitated. Wush-
Ing the rug to discover if it has been
painted over with brush and water
»olor frequently leads only tc the dis-
covery of a bad spot in an ottoerwlae
fine rug. The oriental dyer doe* his
work according to his own sweet will.
Between the puffs of a cigarette and
the gossip of his friends he dips hiB
material in the dye tub. Only the ex-
pert knowledge of the old rug buyer
can be depended on. These buyers go
to the great fairs on the edge of the
desert, where once a year the men of
the east gather to haggle together.
Sometimes western buyers push into
Persia and the Caucasus to search out
rare weaves in the homes of the weav-
ers, but the venture is always attended
with some danger from native hostll:
Ity. It is said that the annals of com-
merco contain greater romances thap
were erer woven around tales of war.
VMtlr
From the Old Time
"One of the curious aspaets Of
era business conditions," *aid a philo-
sophic business man, "is the growth «f
what we call the secondhand business.
There are more secondhand bouses
now than ever before, aHd I attribute
it to the changes in style which are
constantly taking place hi all things
which enter into the social lffe. When
one speaks of a secondhand store,
there are many persons who will think
simply of secondhand fnrnltore, bu-
reaus, wardrobes, tables, beds and
thiugs of that sort. But the busies*
bas become so extensive tbat one may
find almost anytuing In either the use-
ful or the ornamental line in these
places. ;
"I am not speaking of the ttfrio
shops either, where you can find any-,
thing from an antiquated penny to the
rarest and most elaborate thing la an
artistic way, old pictures and new ^
ones, old books, old aiiythlng you may
call for. I have in mind the regular- '
secondhand bouses which do a com-
plete and up to date secondhand busi-
ness. Go into one of tbe&e places sgd
see for yourself the changes which
hove been wrought lu tbe business.
"Time was when one of these places ;
was a Juukshop merely, a sort of old
furniture . hospital or almshouse, a
place for chairs with broken arms and ,
tables with broken legs and beds with
scarred heads and old clocks with
broken faces and missing bands sod f
ail that sort of thing. But the condi-
tions are different now. You see, peo-
ple want to -koej^ up with the proces-
sion. Styles are always changing. A
new kind of furniture comes, in. The
furniture on ha ml is good aif new, but
one m»n>t have the new thing, this new,
magnificent kind of sideboard of this
new colored badroom suit or this latest
thing in something else. The old stll®
is sold and the new kind bought.
"This is one ressou, sqd tbe mtiu rea-
son, for the growth of tbe secondhand
business. Of course tbe cbauf*
not affected merely furniture
household goods. It bas applied to all
tbe utilities and all the ornaments, sad
hence a vast variety of things may bs
found In tbe secondhand store."—Naw

With a Grain of Salt.
1 T&*> earliest record of the saying,
'With a grain of salt," dates back to
the year «3 B. C., when the great Pom-
pey entered the palace of Mithridates
and discovered among his private pa
pers the description of an antidote
against poisons of all sorts, which was
composed of pouuded herbs. These, ae
cording to the recipe, were to be taken
„lth a grain of salL Whether this was
meant seriously or as a warning sar-
casm Is not known, but thenceforth it
became the custom to say that doubt
ful preparations should be taken with
a grain of salt.
From this the meaning got trans-
ferred to sayings of doubtful truth.
"Attic salt" was a Greek synonym foe
wit or penetration, and tbe Latin word
"6ii 1" bad somewhat of the same mean
lug. It Is thus eaHy to see how the
saying, "Cum grauo sails," could bare
come to mean the necessity of accept
Ing doubtful or suspicious statements
"with a graiu of salt"
Her Complaint.
Jane was a patient in one of the
largA public hospitals. She boasted a
cough which was more than suspected
to be u "fake" cough rather than
bronchial or pulmonary.
The kindly young physician in
charge of the ward allowed her some
Darmless remedies. One day he said
to her :
"Ah. Jane, I fear you are a bad case
of hypochroudria!"
Is that It, doctber?" said Jane,
much impressed.
The next morning there she was
again, usklug for her little dose.
"I'm very bad with It the day, doc-
tber'." »
Witb whatV" asked tbe doctor.
"Wld what ye were namin' for ms
jsstiddy," she replied. "It gave me no
peacs at all last night"

Frauk Stockton never could write a
successful poem. In this connectlos
the novelist frequently told a good sto- :
ry on himself. In bis youth in con-
Junction with his brother John bS
wrote many poems with which h* af-
flicted the editors of various Canadian ,
periodicals. Tbe effusions alwsfa
came back. The editor of one msga-,
sine was an especial target ofk tbt
Stocktons, but as none of their poem*
was ever accepted tbe brothers icame
to the conclusion that tbe editor had
no conception of good poetry.
To prove their belief they hunted up
and dispatched to him ah ode, llttla
known, by Milton. Within two dayg
they received a check and a letter of
thanks. "I came to tbe cotttastoo tbs«
tbat editor fcnelr poetry w*sn be HW!
it after all," Mr. Stockton used to say
"and gave up trying to write It."—Poll-
sdelphia Iteoord. >
An Item In Demand.
He was cutting an item from a news-
paper.
"It tells how a bouse was robbed, and
I want to show It to my wife," he ex-
plained.
"What good will that do?" a friend
Inquired. '' «' * >
"A whole lot," was tbe reply. "Iob

man was at church with his wife.'
